eady sent invitations to your parents, they should arrive in the next two days.”"Thank you, Mr. Li. My parents have already been preparing for your birthday banquet, and they will be very happy to hav..."You seem quite pleased to see Luo Ningxi and President Sheng together Perhaps we should lend them a hand." A playful voice whispered in her ear.

Su Qiao was startled and looked up to see Nan Hanchuan's handsome and mischievous face enlarged before her. She had no idea how he suddenly came over, not even the beautiful woman beside him was gone.

The moment the lights went out, Luo Ningxi just happened to lean into Li Bochen's arms.

"What do you mean by that" Su Qiao frowned, her voice laced with a hint of warning. "I warn you, if you dare to hurt Xi Xi, I will definitely not let you off!"

Nan Hanchuan wasn't annoyed. A wicked arc appeared at the corner of his mouth as he suddenly reached out and put his arm around Su Qiao's shoulders, "Don't worry, I'm doing this for Xiaoxixi's sake too. You see, she's pregnant now, someone has to take care of her."

What do you want to do

Just then, Nan Hanchuan slightly raised his eyes and cast a glance at the staff member beside him.

Slap --

All the glittering lights on the cruise ship went out in an instant. Everything around was plunged into utter darkness in the blink of an eye!

In the dance floor, Luo Ningxi and Shengzong were very close. In this extremely dark environment, the man's breath seemed to become unusually heavy.

A cacophony of noise surrounded him. Soon, the host's voice boomed from the speakers.

"Dear esteemed guests, there is currently a slight issue with the cruise ship's lighting system, which will be restored shortly. Please remain calm and refrain from making excessive noise. Perhaps you can experience a different kind of scenery in the darkness."

With this reassurance, the surrounding noise gradually subsided.

A cold wind blew past, carrying the salty tang of the sea, causing Luo Ningxi to shiver slightly. She subconsciously leaned closer into Li Baochen's arms, as if that were the only way to find a sliver of security in the darkness.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right here." A man's deep voice echoed in the darkness.

A familiar sense of security washed over me!

It's him! It has to be him!

Lu Ningxi's pupils contracted violently, a strong premonition driving her to slowly raise her hand towards the man's mask. Just as she was about to take it off, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. "Miss Lu, are you still thinking of taking advantage of others at this time I'm afraid that's not a wise choice."

In the darkness, Loningxi struggled to make out Shengzong's face before her, but could only see a blackness.

She gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Your aura... it's so familiar. Li Bochen, is it you"

"Bang!"

As soon as she finished speaking, it wasn't Sheng Zong's voice that answered her, but a loud BANG! The cruise ship suddenly shook violently for no apparent reason!

The intense shaking and jolting caused the surrounding guests to stir again, letting out a few gasps of surprise!

Sound echoed through the room once more.

“Please be careful, keep your footing, and rest assured that the power will be restored soon!”

Luo Ningxi instinctively protected her stomach, her body uncontrollably falling into Li Bochen's arms!

In the midst of the chaos, she only felt a chill brush past her lips. Luo Ningxi's entire body froze instantly!

The feeling of his lips was so real, it left her mind blank!

She actually kissed Mr. Sheng's lips

Wow! That's a surprise!

Even the wrist he was holding unconsciously pressed against his chest.

"What did you just call me Li Bochen Miss Luo, I despise the most when people use me as a substitute!!"

In the darkness, Lonningxi couldn't see the man's expression, she could only feel that familiar yet strange aura emanating from him.

"Really not you"

Lu Ningxi unwillingly asked.

She believed her feelings wouldn't be wrong. The feeling just now, that instinctive protection, was really too much like Li Bochem!

"Miss Luo, I've already answered this question. Please don't compare me to Li Bohen. I'm not as flamboyant as him!" The man's voice was emotionless. He then loosened his grip on the woman's wrist.

"If you look down on him, why are you still friends with him!"

No one can refuse the Li family. The Shengshi Group was founded recently, and I need a strong backing.

As Luo Ningxi was about to say something more, the surrounding lights suddenly brightened, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Finally, the call came!

"Just now I was scared to death, I thought something happened!"

The sound of guests' discussions filled the air.

Luoning Xi narrowed her eyes, trying hard to adapt to this sudden brightness. After what felt like an eternity, she could finally see the man before her again...

He had put his mask back on, still maintaining the same posture as before, as if nothing had happened.

Luningxi's eyes darkened, a complex and frustrating emotion surged in her heart. Damn it, this test failed again!

Through the mask, Li Bochen saw the woman's disappointed expression. His cold eyes sank slightly, and he faintly blocked the direction of the strong light with his body, "Let me remind you, don't be too curious about me!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Shengzong." Luo Ningxi took a deep breath, ignoring the disappointment in her heart. She waved her hand somewhat resignedly and stepped back to create some distance.

Since he's not him, there's no need to contact him further.

Avoid creating further trouble.

Li Boche saw her aloof look, and his heart began to feel inexplicably agitated. The words reached his lips but were swallowed back down hard!

Damn it!

Luo Ningxi had another man, so what was I really caring about!

Luo Ningxi didn't notice his emotions and quickly retracted his gaze, searching for Su Qiao among the guests.

"Nan Hanchuan, you scoundrel! Let me go!" Su Qiao's voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Jojo"extravagant and intricate I prefer a simpler and more elegant style.”I think it's pretty good...Mu Xi's voice was gentle as she nodded, silently comforting herself. It wasn't a big deal right now!The...
