Chapter 180

By the time she returned to Jingyuan in the evening, Lu Jingqing had already returned home early.

Liu Ma had already prepared dinner, and Su Yun Jiao walked into the living room and sat opposite Lu Jingqing.

"Are your classes still going smoothly today?"

"They've been pretty smooth, but I feel like the class monitor is deliberately ignoring me."

Hearing Su Yun Jiao mention Zhou Xian, Lu Jingqing didn't even lift his head: "Why is he ignoring you?"

"It's probably because you scared him earlier, Brother Jingqing, so he's deliberately keeping his distance."

Su Yun Jiao had never thought of it that way before, but now it seems the same as what Zhou Tingting said, because Lu Jingqing is already her fiancé, so Zhou Xian is deliberately keeping his distance from her.

Su Yun Jiao didn't think keeping distance was bad; she just felt that she and Zhou Xian had never done anything excessive before, and now this makes both of them rather awkward.

"That's his business; what does it have to do with me?"

Lu Jingqing said: "Don't keep piling all kinds of high praise on me."

Lu Jingqing merely took two bites, then put down his chopsticks, seemingly losing his appetite because of what Su Yun Jiao had just said.

"Xiao Li, tidy up; we're leaving."

Seeing Lu Jingqing stand up, Su Yun Jiao hurriedly asked: "Brother Jingqing, it's already this late; where are you going?"

"There's a party I need to check out."

"I want to go too!"

Su Yun Jiao put down her chopsticks.

These past few days of studying have been almost boring to death, and she also really wants to relax a bit.

"Then just wear your school uniform; there's not much time."

It's just a simple party; Lu Jingqing didn't take it to heart.

Just the thought of being able to go to the party with Lu Jingqing made Su Yun Jiao happy.

Finally, she no longer had to stay home doing exercises.

Secretary Li felt that their Boss Lu was really asking an unnecessary question.

Clearly he had deliberately waited for Miss Su to return so they could attend the party together, wanting to take her out to relax, yet he insisted on putting it so reluctantly.

Seeing that, Su Yun Jiao didn't even eat dinner and went straight to the party with Lu Jingqing.

Today Su Yun Jiao wore no makeup, just her natural face with her hair pulled up high into a ponytail, and she was still in her school uniform.

When Lu Jingqing took her hand and walked into the party, it was practically like a brother escorting his sister.

"You can just mess around here; I still have some important matters to discuss with the other CEOs."

"Okay."

This time Su Yun Jiao came just to relax, with no intention of causing trouble for Lu Jingqing.

So she found a relatively lively spot and watched others dance.

Just as Lu Jingqing arrived before the partners, before he could say a few words, a woman walked up to him and extended her hand toward him, apparently wanting to invite him to dance.

When Su Yun Jiao lifted her head, she saw this scene: an elegant young lady in a dark blue gown inviting the impeccably dressed Lu Jingqing in a suit to dance.

This scene was extraordinarily harmonious, practically like a prince and princess from a fairy tale.

Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but click her tongue: "I never expected Lu Jingqing to be so popular."

It appeared that quite a few girls wanted to dance with Lu Jingqing.

But Lu Jingqing refused them all.

Su Yun Jiao had thought Lu Jingqing would keep refusing, but at that moment a woman with flowing long hair and a shimmering gold long dress approached him, and the two chatted and laughed like old friends; surprisingly, Su Yun Jiao could barely see a faint smile on Lu Jingqing's face.

Seeing Lu Jingqing like that, Su Yun Jiao instantly felt energized.

Could this woman be someone Lu Jingqing deeply loves, or perhaps an ex‑girlfriend?

That she could actually bring out such a smile on Lu Jingqing's face.

This woman is certainly not ordinary.

Su Yun Jiao's nerves instantly tightened, fearing that the two might really have some connection.

But after a short while, Lu Jingqing actually ended up dancing with that woman.

This made Su Yun Jiao jump straight up from her chair.

Isn't Lu Jingqing usually aloof from women?

How did he suddenly start dancing so happily with another girl?

Su Yun Jiao wanted to get a close look to see what their relationship really was, even wishing she could use a magnifying glass to see if Lu Jingqing was taking liberties with that woman.

But because there were too many people in the center of the dance floor, Su Yun Jiao simply couldn't see clearly where they were.

Even after running back and forth several times, she could barely make out the silhouettes of Lu Jingqing and that woman.

"Miss, may I invite you to dance?"

Su Yun Jiao had no interest whatsoever and casually waved her hand to refuse.

Who would have thought that the next second, a man's hand grabbed Su Yun Jiao's wrist and pulled her into dancing with him.

Su Yun Jiao doesn't know how to dance, but because his steps were good, she was simply led along.

When Su Yun Jiao lifted her head, she realized the person leading her in the dance was none other than Zhou Xian.

Today Zhou Xian was wearing a crisp suit, his hair specially groomed, making him look quite different from before.

Before, Zhou Xian always wore his school uniform at school, and Su Yun Jiao hadn't imagined he would look this good in a suit.

"Class monitor..."

"Just dance properly; running around the dance floor in your school uniform will make people laugh at you."

Zhou Xian didn't look at Su Yun Jiao's eyes, and his tone of voice was exactly the same as before, as if he were merely looking out for her.

At first Su Yun Jiao felt a bit uneasy, but she quickly got over it.

"How could the class monitor show up here?"

"Some business partners have invited me over; I have to attend such occasions several times a month, and I'm already used to it."

Because Su Yun Jiao had been living at Lu Chi's house all along, Zheng Hongyu never intended to bring her to these events, so Su Yun Jiao didn't know.

In fact, there are several such soirées each month, and everyone brings their daughters and sons to attend these parties to network.

This is not uncommon in this circle.

This time, the host of the soirée is a partner of L Group.

So even Lu Jingqing has to come over.

Su Yun Jiao nodded, gradually becoming somewhat familiar with the rules of this circle.

Zhou Xian said, "You're not good at dancing, but you sing beautifully. If you often attend such occasions in the future, learning to dance is very important. I'll have Boss Lu hire you a few dance teachers another day, so don't let people laugh at you for not knowing anything."

Su Yun Jiao nodded obediently: "Okay, thanks, class monitor. I'll tell Jingqing older brother when I go back."
