After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 319: Chapter 320: Pouring Champagne with Him

With every step he took toward her, her heartbeat quickened a fraction more, and by the time Leng Zimo stood right in front of her, Luo Xiaoqian’s fingers had begun to tremble.

He stood so close she could clearly smell the familiar scent of chocolate on him, and Luo Xiaoqian’s heart uncontrollably started to race.

Suppressing the urge to pull her into his arms and hug her tightly, he lifted his right hand toward her.

”Luo Xiaoqian, congratulations!”

At the sound of his voice, she lifted her face to look at him.

His gaze was gentle, filled with a touch of encouragement, as if to tell her:

Don’t worry, I’m here for you.

Her panicked heart suddenly settled down.

”Thank you!”

She smiled and extended her right hand, gently shaking his.

Countless flashes flickered, capturing this moment.

”Let’s all take a group photo!”

Letting go of her, Leng Zimo gracefully and appropriately touched her arm, guiding her to stand by the cake. Qin Lan, Huangfu Ruo, and several top executives from Emperor View came over, along with Zhuo Yannan and others who had been central to the planning. They gathered around Leng Zimo and Luo Xiaoqian for the photo.

After the photo, Leng Zimo turned and walked up to the rostrum.

”First, on behalf of Emperor View, I’d like to thank all the journalists and guests for coming. Additionally, as the manager of Emperor View, I would especially like to congratulate Luo Xiaoqian and her team, and thank them for creating another legend for Emperor View!” Amidst applause, he once again found her in the crowd, ”Now, I’d like our Princess to come up on stage and join me in pouring champagne for everyone!”

Below the stage, cheers and applause roared like thunder.

With her face slightly flushed, Luo Xiaoqian was sent on stage by Yu Tong, walking up to stand beside him.

A staff member had already opened the champagne, and both of them held it together, pouring it into the champagne tower.

While pouring the champagne, Leng Zimo stood behind her like a true gentleman, bending slightly, and he whispered softly.

”I missed you!”

Luo Xiaoqian’s heart skipped a beat, and her hand holding the bottle trembled slightly, but fortunately, his strong hand steadied the bottle, preventing the champagne from spilling.

After pouring the champagne, she turned her head and gave him a reproachful glance, but saw him with a smile on his lips, the triumphant expression tinged with a playful, childlike mischief.

Everyone picked up their glasses of champagne, and Luo Xiaoqian went on stage to give a thank-you speech, followed by Zhuo Yannan on behalf of the planning team.

In the midst of applause, all the guests began to take their seats, and the celebration officially began.

”Xiao Qian!”

From a distance, Xu Xia’s loud voice rang out, and Luo Xiaoqian turned to see Xu Xia, also elaborately dressed, immediately smiling and approaching her.

”Congratulations!” Xu Xia immediately handed over the bouquet she was carrying.

”Don’t!”

Watching the bouquet that Xu Xia was offering to Luo Xiaoqian, Leng Zimo moved quickly, taking two steps in one to rush forward and snatch the bouquet from Xu Xia’s hands.

Xu Xia was startled, standing somewhat bewildered, ”What... what’s wrong?”

”Ah... it’s nothing!” Luo Xiaoqian quickly pulled on her arm, ”I... I’m allergic to pollen!”

Leng Zimo also realized his own overreaction and casually placed the bouquet on a table nearby, ”You talk, I’ll go check over there.”

Fortunately, with many guests around, people were busy chatting with acquaintances, and nobody seemed to pay much attention to this little interlude here. The only person who noticed everything was Su Jin, who was drinking sullenly not far away.

Looking at Luo Xiaoqian, then at Leng Zimo walking away, and finally at the bouquet that Leng Zimo had casually put aside, a puzzled look appeared in Su Jin’s eyes.
