Chapter 34
Only Song Xiangsi reached for the menu . Gracefully, she opened it, ordering two of her favorite dishes
Qiao Anhao only came back to her senses when the menu reached her, She gave the waiter a slight smile while waving her hands, indicating that she didn’t want to order anything before returning the menu to him .
After the waiter left with the menu, Qiao Anhao lifted her head to look at Lu Jinnian, who was directly in front of her .
The banquet hall was dimly lit with warm lights, a ray hitting Lu Jinnian’s face, giving him a distant feeling . Beside him sat the director for ‘Alluring Times’ . Lu Jinnian shook his head slightly at something the director said, then continued listening .
He seemed to have sensed Qiao Anhao’s gaze as he suddenly turned, looking straight at her . She immediately turned in shock, pretending to be speaking to Zhao Meng .
She was almost caught . Qiao Anhao dared not look in Lu Jinnian’s direction again .
In a dinner like this, there would definitely be alcohol .
Maybe due to Lu Jinnian’s presence, producer Sun generously ordered two bottles of royal salute whiskey . The waiter poured a full cup for everyone, refilling at least 2-3 times before the atmosphere became warm and joyous .
Lu Jinnian remained quiet . Even if others came to give toast, he barely spoke, only rising his glass . When others came to greet him, he would nod slightly . His face remained cold and emotionless, giving the impression that he had come from another world .
In a dinner like this, everyone was trying to form connections, but because of Lu Jinnian, Qiao Anhao remained reserved, unlike the other actors who kept trying to engage with the producer and director . Only when the others came to talk to her did she respond and smile warmly .

In opposition to Qiao Anhao’s reserved nature, Song Xiangsi seemed to be out of place . She seemed to be here just to eat dinner . Dignified and elegant, she sat in her seat, gracefully picking up the food bits one by one with her chopsticks, occasionally taking a sip of water .
Halfway through the dinner, the producer beside Qiao Anhao seemed to have recalled something . He turned his head and looked at Qiao Anhao before shouting out, “I almost forgot, everyone here has worked together one way or another and must be familiar with each other . Now, I would like to introduce our second female lead . . . ” The producer wanted to say her name, but he could only remember her surname . He stopped momentarily, then turned to look at Qiao Anhao . “Why don’t you introduce yourself to everyone . “

Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously.With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker."~❗️Mature content.
