False Court
Chapter 519 Absent-Minded
"How did Lin Ming know about our relationship?"
"What's so strange about that? When I was absorbed into the upper echelons of the Lin family, they definitely did a background check. It's not surprising that it was dug up. After all, there are still quite a few people who know that we have a close relationship, but don't worry, they don't know how good our relationship is."
Sun Duoxiang explained in a low voice.
"Okay."
Su Mo nodded.
Just then, the half-closed door was pushed open again.
A cry of surprise rang out.
"Wow!"
Su Mo subconsciously turned his head and saw Karinsha wearing a goose-yellow, floor-length pleated palace dress, sapphire earrings, a very low neckline revealing a hint of snow-white skin, and silver hair cascading down, holding Finland's hand. Her temperament was extraordinary as she walked in.
"Wow!"
Sun Duoxiang was dumbstruck.
Su Mo also couldn't help but admire her. Karinsha was indeed a little different today. Her aura had become exceptionally strong, giving people a completely different feeling.
Karinsha walked into the venue, her eyes scanning the crowd, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Su Mo.
"Boss, she's looking at me. I didn't expect I'd be so charming."
Sun Duoxiang said excitedly.
Su Mo was speechless and his mouth twitched non-stop, but he didn't say anything.
At this moment, Lin Ming, with a smile on his face, greeted Karinsha.
"Miss Karinsha, you're here. This way, please."
"Thank you."
Karinsha nodded politely.
Lin Ming personally led Karinsha to her seat, and then many people flocked to Karinsha.
"Stop looking."
Su Mo said to Sun Duoxiang, who was staring intently.
Sun Duoxiang immediately came back to his senses, and he quickly explained, "I wasn't looking, Boss. Isn't this a rare burst of charm, hehe."
"Whatever."
Su Mo replied unhappily.
"By the way, Boss, I heard that you guys had a narrow escape on the planetary fortress."
Sun Duoxiang said cautiously.
"Pretty much. Why are you saying this? If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."
Su Mo rolled his eyes at Sun Duoxiang.
"It's like this. The latest inside scoop is that once the surface of that planetary fortress completely disintegrates, a retrieval operation will be opened. I was thinking of asking you, Boss, where there are good things to salvage."
Sun Duoxiang rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
"I'll talk to you about it later."
Su Mo thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Sun Duoxiang was ecstatic. As soon as he heard it, he knew there was a chance.
At this moment, a familiar sound of footsteps came, and Su Mo subconsciously turned his head.
He saw Qian Chengxue walking in, wearing a white military uniform and a military cap, with a cold expression. Her proud figure was also on full display, showing a different kind of beauty.
"Qian Chengxue, you're here."
Lin Ming stepped forward to greet her as soon as possible.
"Okay."
Qian Chengxue responded as indifferently as ever.
Lin Ming didn't mind. He was already used to Qian Chengxue's personality. He said gentlemanly,
"Take a seat anywhere inside."
Qian Chengxue nodded slightly, then walked towards the left side of the long table. Her eyes couldn't help but glance at Su Mo.
Soon she took her seat. The position she chose was relatively far back, and there was just an empty seat next to her.
At this time, Sun Duoxiang was still babbling non-stop in Su Mo's ear, "Boss, let me tell you, you don't know that during the time you were missing, I couldn't sleep at night, I couldn't eat, and I was worried all day long..."
"I won't talk to you anymore, I have something to do."
When Su Mo saw Qian Chengxue enter, his heart trembled slightly. He hadn't been hoping at all, but he didn't expect that Qian Chengxue would still come to participate in the end.
Although she didn't deliberately dress up or anything, at least she came.
He immediately lost interest in talking to Sun Duoxiang and walked towards Qian Chengxue.
At this time, Karinsha, who was already seated, looked at Su Mo from time to time. When she saw Su Mo walking towards Qian Chengxue, her expression was a little disappointed.
Finland, her best friend beside her, immediately stood up and ran towards Su Mo.
At this moment, Qian Chengxue also noticed Su Mo walking over, and her heart beat faster for no reason. Her breathing was a little unsteady.
Just as Su Mo approached, Finland directly blocked Su Mo's path and greeted him with a smile.
"Hi, Su Mo!"
"Hello, Miss Finland."
Su Mo subconsciously responded.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come too."
"It's a pretty good coincidence, that..."
Su Mo was a little bit of a headache for a moment, and didn't know how to laugh it off. He was in a hurry to take his seat now. It was hard enough that there was just an empty seat next to Qian Chengxue, it would be troublesome if someone else took it.
"What that, it's rare to meet, let's sit over there, Karinsha is also there, let's have a good chat."
"Ah, wouldn't that be bad?"
"What's wrong with that, don't be so long-winded."
Finland directly reached out and pulled Su Mo towards Karinsha.
For a moment, everyone in the venue looked over.
Su Mo was also speechless for a while. At this time, there was no way to shake off Finland's hand.
After all, doing so would be disrespectful and would seem very impolite.
As a result, without any accident, Su Mo was dragged to Karinsha's side.
"Sit here."
Finland directly pointed to the position she had just been sitting in, which was next to Karinsha. And she didn't forget to secretly wink at Karinsha, making a gesture that said, "I'm counting on you."
For a time, many people around saw this scene and were envious, but no one had any objection.
Everyone present had fought side by side together, and everyone admired Su Mo very much.
"This isn't appropriate, is it?"
Su Mo was still making his last effort.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Mr. Su Mo, please sit down."
At this time, Karinsha generously opened her mouth to invite him.
"Okay."
Seeing that nothing could be done, Su Mo could only bite the bullet and sit down.
And Qian Chengxue, who was sitting diagonally across from him, just glanced at Su Mo's side, and then shifted her gaze away. She just sat quietly in her seat like that, with no expression on her face.
"Su Mo, what would you like to drink?"
Karinsha asked with a smile.
"Um, anything is fine."
Su Mo replied absentmindedly. He subconsciously glanced at Qian Chengxue's side. For some reason, there was no reaction from Qian Chengxue's side, but Su Mo felt unusually guilty and felt that something was wrong all over.
"How about we drink Highland?"
Karinsha asked, blinking her sapphire-like eyes.
"Okay."
Su Mo didn't listen carefully at all and subconsciously agreed. Anyway, it didn't make any difference what he drank.
So Karinsha looked slightly at the female waiter waiting in the corner.
Immediately, a female service walked up, and Karinsha whispered a few words.
The female service respectfully retreated.
At this time, one female service after another came up with exquisite dishes and placed them neatly on the dining table.
After opening the lid, a fragrant aroma wafted over.
Unfortunately, Su Mo's mind was not on the dishes at all, and he didn't even look at them.
He kept thinking in his heart, what kind of excuse should he find to slip away? And then naturally sit over there with Qian Chengxue?
