Or perhaps, it should have been changed to "Seeing how lovely my sweetheartis"(1).

Sweetheart...

As he savoured this endearment on his tongue for a while, Lu Xi's heart became a little warmer and a slight trace of a smile appeared at the edge of his lips.

After the dance was over, the four of them made their way towards a dinner table to sit.

Su Jin and Lu Xi sat on bar stools beside the dinner table, however, before they could sit Lin Xiyue and Su Yue were detained.

Standing before them was a lady with her neat, short crop hair and wore high heels that brought her to just about the height of Su Yue's eyebrows. She was obviously a woman, and yet for such an occasion, she was not wearing a dress but instead a tailored oxford blue ladies suit.

Su Jin only saw her profile, but secretly she could not help but be mesmerised. With such bright, beautiful and stylish features and an imposing queenly presence about her, who else could it be other than the Ming family's successor, who was raised like a male heir, Ming Xuan?

Only... she frowned slightly. Although Ming Xuan and Su Yue mutually had feelings for each other, neither one of them had ever made it clear. For Ming Xuan to suddenly block Su Yue like this now, could it be she was thinking that...

"Gege likes Miss Ming?" Lu Xi asked.

"How did you-" Su Jin was shocked and reacted immediately with a remark. Then, with a slight arch of her long eyebrows, she chillingly replied, "that's my brother!"

"A slip of the tongue." Lu Xi grinned and admitted his mistake without the slightest hesitation. He then continued, "your brother likes Miss Ming."

Previously he was just asking, however, this time it changed into a tone extremely full of certainty.

Seeing that Lu Xi swiftly changing how he addressed her brother, Su Jin let it slide. Furrowing her eyebrows, she asked in suspicion, "how did you know?"

"His gaze." Lu Xi smiled wryly.

Standing a short distance away, the three people stood facing them. As she observed Ming Xuan's profile, he too caught the look in Su Yue's eyes.
