Chapter 40 Flower Protector

At about ten o'clock, Su Ti was temporarily called to the living room to help check the guest list.

A dizzying array of names and relationships.

So-and-so cannot sit at the same table, so-and-so will sit at the secondary table.

Very particular and full of details.

Su Ti helped to sort out the dozen-page invitation list and unexpectedly saw Rong Shaoting's name.

She pretended to flip twice and asked casually: "Aunt, where should Rong Shaoting sit?"

Su Houxia chuckled when she heard this, "Mr. Rong may not be here, but if he comes, we will reserve a seat for him at the secondary table."

Suti said "oh".

I looked down at the man's name again, and thinking about what happened last night, my heartstrings seemed to be touched.

It was almost noon before Suti was able to get away from this job.

She quietly returned to the guest room, locked it, took out her cell phone and was eager to call the man.

I dialed the number, but was worried that he was busy.

I hung up quickly, returned to the WeChat page, and sent him an emoticon of "Pikachu drinking coffee".

The message was sent in less than a minute.

The phone rang.

Su Ti cleared her throat and answered the phone, "Hello~"

She didn't call him Mr. Rong, as she felt it was both awkward and impolite, so she simply omitted the title.

"Are you done with your family affairs?"

Rong Shaoting's voice is as warm and magnetic as usual.

"Yeah, I helped sort out the list." Su Ti leaned on the windowsill, resting her chin on her arms, "I saw... Mr. Rong's name in it."

The man took a puff of cigarette, and his voice was inexplicably full of mellow laughter. "The Jiang family did send an invitation a month ago, but I have something to do tonight, so I may not be able to come."

Su Ti buried the lower half of her face, knowing clearly in her heart that this was his euphemism.

My uncle can only be considered a self-made wealthy businessman in Hong Kong, but not a wealthy and prominent family.

There is still a natural barrier between him and the top circle where Rong Shaoting is.

Moreover, given Rong Shaoting's status in Hong Kong, once he appears in public, many people will flock to him to curry favor with him.

That scene will definitely be the highlight.

After figuring out the point, Suti didn't plan to continue the topic.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard the man ask in a deep voice, "Since you're done, can you come out now?"

Su Ti's heart skipped a beat and she looked at the time hesitantly.

It's almost twelve o'clock.

and……

"咚咚-"

Mrs. Liu knocked on the door at the right time and shouted, "Second Miss, dinner is ready."

Su Ti moved the phone away and replied that she understood.

Putting the phone to his ear again, the man on the other end spoke gently, "Go ahead, eat more, and don't be too thin."

Su Ti's throat felt like it was covered with a layer of sweet and bitter frosting, an indescribable taste: "Then...what about you?"

She thought she would be free in the morning, but unexpectedly she was drafted in to sort out the list.

Who knows what plans he might have in the afternoon, so I dare not make any wishes easily, otherwise I will have to stand him up again.

The man heard a hint of resentment and guilt in Suti's tone.

The tone became more magnetic and gentle, full of tolerance, "There is a regular meeting at noon, and Ben can't delay too long. Let's go eat first. Family matters are more important."

The more he said this, the more regretful and guilty Suti felt.

This mood continued until lunch was over.

Even the careless Jiang Chen noticed her abnormality, "Are you still worried about Sister Wen's matter?"

Su Ti sighed and held her chin in her hand, "You don't understand."

Seeing that she looked listless and had no appetite, Jiang Chen immediately understood what she meant, "I see. I'm worried about Mr. Rong."

Su Ti looked at him dimly: "..."

Jiang Chen had a smiling face and showed no fear at all.

Then he made full use of his ability to pick up girls and gave Su Ti a vivid lesson on what it means to be a scumbag.

Central idea: Men are lustful and women are materialistic.

Halfway through my speech, I realized I had gone off topic.

The second-generation rich man wanted to make amends, but was beaten out by the upset Su Ti.

……

In the afternoon, Su Ti followed the group to the restaurant where the birthday banquet was held.

Before leaving, I sent a WeChat message to Rong Shaoting.

I don’t know if the man was in a regular meeting, and he never responded.

Arriving at the restaurant, Su Ti was so busy that she had no time to be distracted, which diluted the slight disappointment in her heart. After five o'clock, the invited guests arrived one after another.

Su Ti, wearing a lake blue off-shoulder dress, stood at the entrance of the restaurant to greet guests.

Without him.

Her father gave her an order to come out and pick up Qin Yi.

Su Ti held her cell phone tightly, occasionally turning on the screen to take a look.

Still no reply.

Are you that busy?
Or was he angry because I didn't go out to meet you at noon?

"Xiaoti."

Qin Yi's crisp call came from inside the car door.

Su Ti turned off the phone screen, looked up and greeted, "Brother Yi."

Qin Yi attended the event tonight in formal attire, a blue suit with a white shirt. The mature style of his outfit diluted his youthfulness.

Qin Yi walked to Su Ti and looked at her unconsciously, "You look so beautiful today."

Suti said thank you absentmindedly, as she was used to such compliments.

"Come in, my dad and uncle are inside."

Qin Yi nodded in agreement.

The two walked side by side through the noisy crowd registering gifts in front of the restaurant.

Qin Yi calmly raised his arms from behind to protect Su Ti.

Didn't touch her.

But the meaning of flower guardian is particularly obvious.

at the same time.

A Maybach business car drove at a steady speed through the exclusive lane in front of the restaurant.

A wisp of light smoke floated out from the half-lowered window of the back door and dispersed in the air.

At six o'clock sharp, Jiang Youshang's birthday banquet officially began.

There were thirty-six tables of guests, all occupied.

The host is a well-known figure in the industry. After his opening remarks, Jiang Youshang and his family came on stage to express their gratitude.

Su Ti sat at the corner of the main table, her eyes glancing at the second main table next door which was full of people.

Even though I knew Rong Shaoting would not come, I still had a little hope in my heart.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table flashed and a WeChat message popped up.

Su Ti's heart beat faster, and she clicked on it, and saw that the missing people had returned.

Mr. Rong: [308, come here.]

What do you mean?
Su Ti was confused and looked towards the stairs.

An idea suddenly came to him, and he stopped the waiter passing by and asked, "Excuse me, is there room 308 here?"

The waiter brought the dishes and hurriedly replied: "Yes, it's on the third floor, it's the VIP room, birthday party guests are not allowed to go up there."

Su Ti's eyes sparkled, and she quietly left the scene while no one was noticing.

third floor.

Su Ti climbed up the stairs in her high heels.

No one stopped us during the whole process, not even the service staff were seen.

Su Ti counted the room numbers and found 308.

Standing at the door, hesitant.

Wasn't it said to be the VIP lounge on the third floor? Why did they let her up so easily? Could they have gone to the wrong place?

Su Ti calmed herself down and planned to send another message to Rong Shaoting to confirm it.

So, I edited three words 'I'm here' and prepared to send it.

When your finger is only a piece of paper away from the send button.

The door of box 308 slowly opened.

Suti paused, looked up for a moment, and before he could even see the person clearly, he was pulled in.

"Eh--"

The exclamation and the girl's figure disappeared at the door of VIP room 308.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

inside the door.

After a dizzying feeling of weightlessness.

Su Ti stood firm, focused his eyes and regained his consciousness——

At this moment, Rong Shaoting, with his hand in his pocket and a handsome figure, was leaning against the wall behind her and very close in front of her.

Not only that.

When Su Ti turned her body slightly, she clearly felt a strong arm between her lower back and the wall.
