Chapter 8 Falling Into The Tiger's Trap Again?

• Mù Qīngwǎn, with her hands on her hips, angrily asked, "What is your connection with Brother Lěngyè?!"
• Ān Jǐngxī looked at Mù Qīngwǎn, who changed her attitude faster than flipping a book, feeling a bit confused. She could only reply dumbly, "We don't have any connection."
• "No connection? No connection, but you two appear together in the hot search? No connection, but Brother Lěngyè keeps looking at you? Do you think I'm a child?" Mù Qīngwǎn bombarded her with several questions.
• Ān Jǐngxī sighed, "There really is no connection. If you don't believe me, go ask him."
• Ān Jǐngxī suddenly remembered the previous hot search, "The previous hot search was just the paparazzi exaggerating when we were discussing work. If we really had a connection, why would we withdraw the hot search? I would have wanted the whole world to know."
• "I don't care if you have a connection or not. If I find out that you dare to get involved with him, be prepared to be blacklisted," Mù Qīngwǎn warned, looking at her freshly done nails.
• Ān Jǐngxī couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, "I know."
• When she found out that Lěngyè and Yánxīn were engaged, she secretly cried in bed for a long time. After Lěngyè finally broke off the engagement, she wouldn't allow anyone to have even the slightest chance with him!
• Mù Qīngwǎn suddenly had a thought, "Come with me."
• "Huh?"
• Ān Jǐngxī was a bit confused. Her work was already done, so why did she have to go with her?
• "If you don't come with me, what if something goes wrong later? So you must come with me and can only leave after the banquet is over," Mù Qīngwǎn said naturally.
• "Okay."
• Ān Jǐngxī had a vague sense of foreboding in her heart, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only agree.
• After entering the banquet, Mù Qīngwǎn busied herself with greeting other famous people and ignored Ān Jǐngxī. She went to a quiet corner and waited for the end of the banquet.
• "Dong dong, dong dong." A text message came in, it was from Lěngyè.
• "The dress looks beautiful."
• Before Ān Jǐngxī could reply, Lěngyè sent another message.
• "Did Qīngwǎn give you a hard time just now? If she did anything to you, I hope you won't take it to heart. She's not a bad person at heart."
• When An Jingxi saw this, she inexplicably felt a little displeased. Was he defending his girlfriend?
• She simply replied, "Hmm."
• "I know you're here too, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
• When An Jingxi saw the message on the screen, her annoyance and unease seemed to disappear all at once, and she naturally replied, "Hmm."
• After replying, there was a commotion at the entrance not long after.
• Seeing everyone's gaze gathered at the entrance, An Jingxi also looked over with everyone.
• Three people walked in through the door, one was Leng Ye, and the other two were unfamiliar, although one of them looked similar to Yan Xin.
• Leng Ye was dressed in a black suit, with a silver-gray tie, and his cold and beautiful facial features exuded an aura of royalty, making everyone in the banquet hall suddenly become his backdrop.
• Leng Ye walked step by step into the banquet hall, scanning the surroundings with his eyes. When he saw a certain corner, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
• Seeing the infatuated gazes of those young ladies, the man behind Leng Ye curled his lips.
• It was always like this, as long as Leng Ye was present, those young ladies didn't even spare him a glance. "Even though I am so charming and elegant, they still prefer that ice block, Ye."
• The other man pushed his glasses when he heard this. "You're just jealous, can't you see the situation?"
• "Alright, I got it."
• As they spoke, the group of people entered the crowd, chatting with others here and there.
• An Jingxi had seen Leng Ye a few times before, but he had never been like this. The regal aura he exuded made her feel like they were from two different worlds.
• An Jingxi shook her head, it didn't matter, she could just stay away from him next time.
• Suddenly, An Jingxi felt a bit thirsty and casually picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
• "Miss, you look familiar, may I ask for your name?"
• At this moment, a man walked over with two glasses of red wine and struck up a conversation with An Jingxi.
• "Sure, I'm An Jingxi." An Jingxi politely replied, setting down her glass.
• The man seemed a little surprised. "Are you the renowned genius designer An Jingxi?"
• An Jingxi smiled awkwardly. "I wouldn't call myself a genius, I just have a basic understanding."
• "I'm also studying jewelry design, and I thought your designs were exquisite when I saw them before. I've always admired you, never thought I would meet you here."
• Seeing that An Jingxi's hands were empty, the man handed her a glass of wine and said, "It's such an honor to see you here. I wonder if I have the privilege to toast to you."
• An Jingxi hesitated to accept the wine at first, but seeing the man in a suit and behaving politely, she took it.
• They lightly clinked their glasses, and the man quickly finished his drink. An Jingxi, who had only intended to take a sip, ended up drinking the whole glass.
• As An Jingxi finished her drink, the man revealed a subtle smirk, bid her farewell politely, and left.
• After the man left, An Jingxi obediently sat in the corner, playing with her phone. As she played, she felt her body getting warmer.
• "Stars fall into the sea, while I'm thinking of you..."
• At that moment, her phone rang. It was Mu Qingwan calling, "Where are you?! I need to talk to you urgently. Come back to the private room!"
• "Okay, I'll be right back. Just wait a moment."
• An Jingxi hung up the phone and hurriedly ran off, unaware that all of this was observed by Leng Ye.
• Upon witnessing everything, Leng Ye immediately sent a message to Chen Su.
• As An Jingxi walked, she kept checking the time. Knowing Mu Qingwan's temperament, she knew she would face consequences if she arrived late.
• Sure enough, when An Jingxi rushed to the private room, Mu Qingwan was already impatient.
• "Where have you been?! Do you realize how long I've been waiting for you? Look, my dress is falling apart. You're a jewelry designer, can't you come up with a solution for my dress, too?!"
• An Jingxi had someone bring a sewing kit and proceeded to fix Mu Qingwan's dress on the spot. "Is it better now?"
• After the quick fix, Mu Qingwan checked herself in the mirror several times. Seeing her relieved expression, An Jingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
• Fortunately, she had learned a bit of fashion design when she was in the United States.
• "Miss Mu, it's almost time," a waiter knocked on the door and informed Mu Qingwan.
• "Yes, I know," Mu Qingwan touched up her makeup and stood up to leave.
• Seeing Mu Qingwan leave, An Jingxi also stood up, ready to leave with her.
• Unexpectedly, her body suddenly felt weak, and An Jingxi fell back onto the sofa.
• Mu Qingwan's eyes flickered, and she said with a hint of disdain, "Since you're not feeling well, you don't have to go. Just rest here."
• An Jingxi was somewhat taken aback by Mu Qingwan's sudden kindness.
• She weakly smiled at her, "Thank you, I might have low blood sugar. I just need to rest for a while."
• After Mu Qingwan left, An Jingxi lay on the sofa.
• The dizziness she felt was getting worse, accompanied by waves of heat.
• With the experience from the first time, she knew that she had been drugged. Could it be that there was something wrong with the drink she had earlier?
• Before An Jingxi could think further, someone sneaked in and pushed the door open.
