During the thirty minutes of introduction to everyone, Ru was tired. She tugged at Xiao Zhiren's arm saying, "My face is hurting."
"Why?"ย
"I don't think I've smiled this politely ever in my life before," said Ru while rubbing her jaw.
ย Xiao Zhiren chuckled softly at her reply. "You and your excuses..." he shook his head as he continued, "Both are really cute."
He wanted to pinch her nose but she swatted his hand away like an annoying fly. "Can't you put a lock on your cringe-worthy remarks?"
Xiao Zhiren shook his head in negation. "Nope. It gets difficult when you're standing right beside me looking like a damn femme fatale."
"Don't say anything anymore. I'm getting dizzy with your words." Ru pushed him away and walked towards a corner. Clicking her fingers together, she called for the server and picked up a glass of sparkling champagne.ย
