Chapter 714 Shield
Ni Ya frowned, feeling that she really hated Wan Zihao's self-righteousness.
"If you hadn't dragged me away, maybe I would have had an excuse to leave this club."
"oh?"
Wan Zihao was a little surprised, "It seems you are not willing to participate in this kind of entertainment."
There were so many people rushing to get the invitation from the Wan family. It was an honor to be invited by the Wan family. But it was obviously a trouble for Ni Ya.
"I didn't want to, but I came anyway. This is a social etiquette."
Ni Ya knows the rules of survival in the shopping mall. If you want to survive in the business world, you must learn to make mistakes and compromise.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The waiter apologized profusely and drew Niya's eyes back to her. She was obviously frightened and stood there at a loss.
"It's not all your fault, I'm also at fault."
Ni Ya spoke up to help the waiter, "If I hadn't turned around suddenly, I wouldn't have bumped into you."
Her arm was a little painful from being pulled by Wan Zihao, which made her feel even more unhappy.
The waiter looked at Wan Zihao. He didn't say anything and she didn't dare to leave.
"Hurry up and clean up the ground."
Wan Zihao's face darkened a little, and the waiter quickly went to get a broom to clean.
"You don't have to embarrass her."
Ni Ya looked at Wan Zihao and he chuckled, "If you dance with me, I won't fire her."
"you……"
Ni Ya was a little angry. Wan Zihao was threatening her. But she couldn't just watch the waiter get fired because of her.
"I'm just kidding."
Wan Zihao shrugged, "Everyone makes mistakes, I'm not so unhuman."
Ni Ya didn't want to pay attention to him, turned and walked away.
Wan Zihao was not angry, but instead became more interested in Ni Ya. She was not like other women who couldn't wait to stick to him when they saw him.
Her rejection made him look down upon her. Such a woman was exactly what he wanted.
The reception began, and Mr. Wan and his wife finished the first dance before the guests slid onto the dance floor one after another.
Ni Ya was sitting alone in the rest area, turning a blind eye to the excitement.
She put down the cup in her hand and got up to go to the bathroom. If she could, she would rather hide in the bathroom until the party was over. This would save her from smiling so hard at those unfamiliar people that her face would almost freeze.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Ni Ya walked out of the bathroom and saw Geng Chenggen walking into the venue. She subconsciously hid in a corner. She didn't expect to meet him here.
Wan Zihao stepped forward and said, "Mr. Geng, you are late."
"Sorry, I was delayed for a few minutes because of an important meeting."
Geng Chengyu reached out and took the wine glass from the waiter's tray, "I'll punish myself with one drink first."
"How can one cup be enough? At least three cups."
Wan Zihao smiled and waved to the waiter to bring him drinks.
After Geng Chengyu finished one cup and was about to get the second cup, he raised his eyes and saw Ni Ya standing in the corner. His face lit up and he walked towards her, "What a coincidence, I meet you here."
Since they separated that day, he has not seen Niya again. He did not expect to meet her tonight.
Ni Ya frowned, walked to Wan Zihao, took his arm, "Didn't you say you wanted to ask me to dance?"
She didn't want to pay attention to Geng Chengyu, and was even more afraid that her heart would be shaken.
"good."
Wan Zihao smiled and nodded. How could he not see that Ni Ya was using him as a shield? But he was happy to do so.
The two entered the dance floor and slowly moved to the music.
Geng Chengyu felt annoyed when he saw the two leaning against each other, but he restrained himself. After all, this was a public place and there were many reporters. If anything happened, it would not end well.
He drank all the wine in the glass and gritted his teeth. He really wanted to step forward and pull Ni Ya away from Wan Zihao's arms.
Damn it!
Before he could figure out how to pursue Ni Ya again, she tried dating other men?
"Do you know Geng Chengyu?"
Wan Zihao lowered his head and looked into Ni Ya's eyes. She did not answer him directly, but asked, "Don't you know him too?"
"Yes, he and I have been friends for many years. It's just that I have been abroad before and only recently returned to China."
Wan Zihao raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "Isn't the relationship between you and Geng Chengyu unusual?"
"If you want to keep dancing, don't ask these silly questions."
Ni Ya didn't want to say more, so Wan Zihao cleverly changed the subject, "Is your temperament so cold?"
"It depends on who is right."
Ni Ya regretted that she had invited Wan Zihao to dance. She could feel Geng Chengyu's eyes always falling on her, which made her feel like she had a light on her back.
"Well, it seems I'm only suitable as a shield."
Wan Zihao's words were a little sour, but he was not angry.
Ni Ya didn't expect that Wan Zihao would see through it. When she was distracted, she stepped on his shoe. She quickly apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
"fine."
Wan Zihao smiled and shook his head, "It's an honor for me to be stepped on by you."
Ni Ya just glanced at him and didn't answer.
This man is too greasy, and she doesn't want to have a deep relationship with this kind of man.
The dance music finally ended, Ni Ya turned around and backed away, returning to the rest area, but did not see Geng Chengyu.
She searched subconsciously and saw Geng Chengyu talking to someone outside the terrace.
Geng Chengyu seemed to notice Ni Ya's gaze, and glanced in her direction, catching her gaze. She looked away in panic.
Wan Zihao caught this scene and raised his eyebrows. It seemed that there was definitely something going on between Ni Ya and Geng Chengyu.
He walked up to Ni Ya with a wine glass and said with a smile, "Mr. Ni, the auction is about to begin. Which item are you interested in? I will take a photo of it and give it to you."
"No, I like it and I will take the photo myself."
Ni Ya's rejection made Wan Zihao appreciate her straightforwardness even more.
"It is true that independent women are more attractive."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Ni Ya stood up and walked away. She didn't like staying with Wan Zihao. She always felt that he had seen through her thoughts.
The auction started, and the guests gathered in front of the auction table.
The etiquette lady brought the auction items to the stage one by one for display and auction. Ni Ya held the bidding sign in her hand and stood aside with no interest.
Geng Chengyu stood not far behind Ni Ya, his eyes fell on her face, and he didn't care about what was being auctioned on the stage.
Wan Zihao deliberately stood next to Ni Ya to block Geng Chengyu's view.
"Is there anyone you like?"
"No."
Ni Ya shook her head. None of those things could enter her eyes. But since she came to attend this charity dinner, she naturally couldn't leave empty-handed. She had to pay some money.
When she saw a chicken heart ruby being auctioned on the stage, she raised the card in her hand and said, "Ten million."
The guests all turned to look at Ni Ya. Her bid was ten times higher than the reserve price, making it difficult for others to bid. Moreover, the gemstone was not worth the price at all.
