you are my joy

Chapter 1419 The Eve of the Engagement Banquet (2)

Jian Ximan glanced at her mobile phone screen and understood where her depressed mood came from, and asked softly:
"Lu Yuting hasn't replied to your WeChat all this time?"

Ning Yuxi nodded, "Yes."

Jian Ximan held her hands tightly, trying to dispel the coldness of her hands with her own warmth.

"Don't think about it, maybe you were delayed by some urgent matter. It's only past five o'clock. Lu Yuting doesn't need to put on makeup, and it doesn't take much time to change clothes."

Ning Yuxi still lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled a few times when she heard Jian Ximan's words.

Yes, it's only after five o'clock.

It was only half an hour from the Lu family's old house to the hotel, but she became very disturbed because she did not hear from Lu Yuting in just half an hour.

She'd never been like this before.

Since when did she become so worried about gains and losses?
Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the phone in her hand. After a while, as if she had made a sudden decision, Ning Yuxi pulled out her hand and dialed Lu Yuting's number with the phone.

There was a beeping sound from the phone, and Ning Yuxi's expectations gradually faded as time went by, and the automatic hanging up of the phone completely cut off her last hope.

The finger holding the phone turned blue and white, and the uneasiness gradually expanded in his heart.

……

At the same time, Lu Yuting ended the high-level meeting of Lu's International, and left the meeting room in a hurry.

Wen Zheng quickly followed behind him, reminding softly:

"Eldest young master, it's time for you to go to the hotel. The engagement banquet is about to start. I'm afraid the young lady is in a hurry."

Lu Yuting touched his pocket subconsciously when he heard the words, and then remembered that he had left his phone in the office, and turned his head and said:
"Go get the car ready."

"Yes."

Wen Zheng responded, turned his footsteps, and walked in the direction of the elevator.

Lu Yuting returned to the office, put down the documents in his hands, took his mobile phone, and left quickly.

After getting in the car, Lu Yuting saw Ning Yuxi's missed call, his eyes softened, and he called back.

Almost as soon as the phone was dialed, Ning Yuxi picked it up.

"Lu Yuting..."

There was a bit of uneasiness in the clear and beautiful voice, Lu Yuting's heart softened in an instant, and a soft smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Wait in a hurry?"

Hearing the man's deep voice, Ning Yuxi's heart that had been on his back finally returned to its original place, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

"Well, have you finished dealing with the company's affairs?"

"It's over, on the way to the hotel, wait for me for another ten minutes, huh?"

Knowing that she was uneasy recently, Lu Yuting could only soften his tone as much as possible, trying to calm her uneasiness.

Ning Yuxi likes his voice with a rising end, which is deep and magnetic, and can always easily touch her heartstrings, and his tone is unconsciously tinged with a little tenderness.

"Then be careful on the road."

Lu Yuting responded in a low voice, "Yes."

After hanging up the phone, a smile finally appeared on Ning Yuxi's cold face. Seeing this, Jian Ximan, who had been chatting with her all the time, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and joked with a light smile:
"Happy? I said that Lu Yuting must be too busy to see the news. He is usually a calm person, but why did he get confused at this time?"

Ning Yuxi let out a breath, relaxed her whole body, smiled and shook her head.

"I don't know, I've been thinking wildly lately."

Thinking about it carefully, her recent mood is indeed not quite right.

It seems that since she knew that Lu Yuting had something to hide from her, she gradually felt uneasy in her heart, and she liked to think more and more wildly.

Every time she felt uneasy, she would intuit that something would happen, and she would think wildly. If things went on like this, it made her lose her composure and lose her balance.

Jian Ximan secretly looked at her little face.

She had just noticed that her emotions were not quite right.

The Ning Yuxi she knew could hide her edge and be an idiot who could be bullied, but she was definitely not a real idiot.

Especially after she met Lu Yuting, she was calm and self-possessed, and planned strategies. She had never felt so uneasy.

Even when she took the initiative to pursue Fu Lin a few years ago, Fu Lin was always lukewarm towards her, and she was not as worried about gains and losses as she is now.

Maybe……

"Are you too tired recently?"

Jian Ximan asked softly the doubts in her heart, Ning Yuxi lifted the broken hair around her ears and tucked them behind her ears, raised her eyelids to look at her, raised her eyebrows, and smiled faintly.

"I think it's too idle."

Although she has been busy with the Jiang Group's cooperation projects, in order to be in a good state for the engagement banquet these days, she turned off a lot of work and had a lot of rest time.

Maybe it was because she gave herself too much free time, which made her think wildly.

Jian Ximan laughed out loud, grabbed the pillow and threw it on her body.

"The way I see it, you are born to be exhausted!"

……

Half an hour before the engagement banquet, Ning Yu'an, who had been helping out, pushed open the door of the lounge with an anxious expression on her face.

"Sister, isn't brother-in-law here yet? The engagement banquet is about to start, and all the guests outside have already arrived."

Ning Yuxi glanced at the time, more than ten minutes had passed since the phone call just now.

"It's already on its way, it should be soon."

"That's good. I just asked the host about the process of the engagement banquet. Sister, please take a look first, so as not to make mistakes on stage."

Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the process sheet to Ning Yuxi.

Ning Yuxi took it over, looking seriously with downcast eyes.

Jian Ximan stood up and hugged Ning Yu'an's shoulders, looked her up and down, and joked with a smile:
"Yes, An'an! You look good! It seems that you have learned a lot during the more than half a year in Huang Ting Hotel."

Once upon a time, the little girl who always liked to solve problems with her fists could handle it with ease in this kind of occasion.

Sure enough, growing up can indeed grind away the edges and corners of people.

Ning Yu'an scratched her hair and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Sister Manman, don't make fun of me! I'm an employee of Huang Ting Hotel, so of course I know all the arrangements for today's engagement banquet like the back of my hand."

"So...you already knew about your brother-in-law's engagement banquet?"

Ning Yuxi's voice was a bit cold, she raised her eyes to look at Ning Yu'an, and Ning Yu'an's scalp felt numb from the smile in her eyes.

She laughed dryly, took away Jian Ximan's arm that was on her shoulder, and moved towards the door quietly.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. Sister Manman, please stay with my sister. I'll go see if my brother-in-law is here?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Yu'an's figure had disappeared at the door of the lounge.

Jian Ximan chuckled as she watched her running away, and sat back beside Ning Yuxi.

"This girl, the soles of her feet are oiled? She ran so fast!"

Ning Yuxi twitched the corner of her lips, a doting smile flashed in her almond eyes, she lowered her head and continued to watch tonight's process.
