"Are the rumors true then? Are Han Yue Ling and Lu Tian really an item?"
"From their interaction at the fashion show, I think they were already in a relationship."
"Han Yue Ling just revealed herself to be De L'amour's designer and now, it is reveal that she is General Ji's granddaughter! What will the world think if this news was release?"
"Since her father is Han Lin Qing, does that mean she is the current CEO of H-International?"
Everyone in the ballroom were more shocked than they were during the fashion show. Yue Ling is a retired model who already held a prominent figure in Imperial. However, the news of her being the fashion designer of De L'amour was already mind blowing.
No one has yet to recover from such shock, but now, not only one news but more news are added to shock them.
She is the true heiress of Ji Corps and her background is not simple. Her father was a very well-known person throughout the entire continent.
As the granddaughter of General Ji, theres no mistaking that she must be the current mysterious CEO of her father's company, H-International.
Even her relationship to the famous business king cannot be overlooked.
Lu Tian is one of Imperial's wealthiest man and the most eligible bachelor. There had never been any scandals of him with anyone, until now. Seeing how he treats Yue Ling everyone can confirm their curiosity.
Staring at the main table of Yue Ling and Lu Tian, a young woman sighs inside. She was one of the many girls who admires Lu Tian, but seeing how good the man treats the model, she faintly smiles.
"If CEO Lu and Han Yue Ling are a pair, I have nothing against them. One is handsome while the other is beautiful. Truly a match made in heaven."
"I agree, I also support their ship! They are my new power couple!"
Another woman at the same table calls out cheerfully. Everyone knows that Lu Tian is cold towards not only women but also men. However, seeing how he can be so gentle and soft towards Yue Ling, it means that he indeed loves her very much.
So, instead of hating on their relationship, why not support their love!
Hearing the two women, a single man at the table furrow his brows.
"Hey, how can you all pair our ideal goddess with the cold and ruthless, Lu Tian?"
The first woman who spoke scoffs at the man. "What? If not Lu Tian, then who else? You think you are Han Yue Ling's match?"
Their conversation soon turned into a friendly argument, but no one notice the short hair girl sitting at the table next to them.
Ning Mei glares at them with burning rage and jealousy inside. First, it was Ji Chu Hua who stole the spotlight and then it was her embarrassment at the main table. Now, this slut Han Yue Ling dares to walk in and catch everyone's attention.
Angry and irritated of the people around mentioning Yue Ling's name, Ning Mei downs her glass of wine in one gulp. A glint of sinister thought flashes in her eyes and she abruptly stood from her seat.
Ignoring the fact that the birthday celebration has not ended, she walks out of the ballroom without looking back.
'Han Yue Ling! I'll make you disappear from the world!'
That's right, she will tell Lu Tian about the night of Yue Ling's farewell party. Although her plan failed at the time, she knows that with the drug she used, a cold bath would not solve the problem. Yue Ling needed a man to cure her. A little switch of words and Lu Tian will surely leave the slut!
Unknown to Ning Mei's sinsiter plot, Madam Lu and Old were more dumfounded than the guests.
The Lu Tian they know had never once dated a girl, let along go near the opposite sex. His face would scrunch in disgust and become angry even when a girl accidently touches his clothes.
However, seeing him all loving and doting towards Yue Ling, they couldn't help but think about the night he brought her over for dinner.
Instead of being call the King of Business, he should be called the King of Jealousy!
Madam Lu shook her head and looks at Grandfather Ji with a smile, "Uncle, if it is alright with you, after your birthday celebration, I would like to chat with Yue Ling and get to know her better."
Hearing the sudden words, Grandfather Ji slightly frown. If he knows that Yue Ling and Lu Tian are together, shouldn't the Lu family know this too?
Thinking this, he turns to look at Yue Ling then a smile curl on his stern face. Whether the Lu family knows or not does not matter. The secret is already out.
"Mm. I do not mind as long as Ah Ling is willing."
Yue Ling turn her attention away from Lu Tian to her grandfather and Madam Lu. With slightly furrow brows, she thought about the woman's words.
They had already met, but why would she say she wanted to get to know her better?
Thinking that it must be something polite to do since it is revealed that she is her yeye's granddaughter, she nods her head.
"Mm, we can chat after the celebration."
However, what Yue Ling did not know is that, Madam Lu wanted to meet her not as the retired supermodel or the designer of De L'amour. She wanted too meet Yue Ling as the daughter of her dear friend who left this world.
Ji Chu Hua watched everything happen in jealousy. She wishes so badly to go over to Yue Ling and rip the slut into shreds.
She was the granddaughter who was supposed to chat with Madam Lu. How did it become Yue Ling? How is she supposed to get close to Lu Tian now?
Oblivious to the woman's inner feelings, Madam Lu laughs heartily as she looks at Yue Ling and Lu Tian then Grandfather Ji.
"Uncle, this is perfect. Both children had already met before we even introduced them to each other."
Grandfather Ji also looks at Yue Ling and Lu Tian.
He does not have much longer to live and hopes to see the day she marries. From the way Lu Tian looks at Yue Ling, he can tell that the boy's feelings are genuine. Unlike the way Gu Ting Fei stared at his granddaughter like a hungry wolf.
If he wants to protect Yue Ling and Ji Jingxu from the snakes hiding within the Ji family and those outside, he needed to find someone powerful. Someone who he knows will be able to keep them both safe.
And with Lu Tian and the Lu family at their side, there's no way others will dare to harm them.
Ji Jingxu was also happy to know his older sister is being taken care of. He had his doubts about Lu Tian, but now, he can rest assure that Lu Tian will not break Yue Ling's heart.
While the conversation continued at the main table, no one noticed how nervous Yue Ling was despite her looking calm on the outside.
She really did not expect to meet Lu Tian here, however, she must collect herself together. She made a promise to her yeye and there was no turning back.
As she thought to herself, she felt a sudden cold touch on the back on her hand that was resting on her lap.
Though it was cold, it somehow brought warmth to her.
Yue Ling turn her head to the right and looks at Lu Tian.
The man remained expressionless, but as her eyes met the side of his face, his large hand gently slides his fingers between hers and held a firm grip.
She couldn't help but blush as the nervous feeling she had quickly disappears in ease.
Knowing that he is here with her, she inhales a deep breath and turn to look at her grandfather.
"Yeye, I want to formally introduce you to someone."
