Passionate Devotion

Where’s Your Husband? 2

When Shi Yang saw that more and more people were headed toward their direction, he let go of her. He turned and strode into the venue.

Tong Lu felt as if every single ounce of strength was sucked out of her body. As she stared after Shi Yang, who was striding away angrily, tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks.

“Quick, come and take a look. Leng Yejin is here. He’s really handsome. Oh, God. I’m about to faint. I feel as if my heart is going to leap out of my chest.”

All of a sudden, Tong Lu heard a young woman beside her excitedly fangirling over Leng Yejin.

“Oh, God. He’s so outstanding. When he’s around, it’s like everyone else is nothing but dull specks of dust, while he’s shining brightly like the sun in the sky. He’s so cool!”

Tong Lu looked at Leng Yejin and covered her face with her hand without being aware of it. But immediately after that, she laughed self-deprecatingly. There were so many people standing between them. It was impossible for him to take notice of her presence.

Leng Yejin’s steps were steady as he walked into the conference hall. He caught a glimpse of her by chance. He saw that a tear was rolling down her cheek, and he noticed that there was a sad expression on her face. It was almost unnoticeable, but he narrowed his eyes a little.

Tong Lu’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had spotted her amid the crowd?

She subconsciously turned and walked away, but someone suddenly grabbed her arm. Tong Lu was shocked. Leng Yejin’s eyebrows were furrowed, and he did not say anything. Even though he was not angry, his gaze was an authoritative one, making it impossible for her to flee.

“H-hello.”

‘Hello? She’s making it sound as though I’m a stranger!’

Leng Yejin flashed a cold smile. “Why are you crying?”

“I’m not crying. There’s sand in my eyes.”

Leng Yejin glared at her with furrowed eyebrows. ‘How dare she lie to me!?”

He tightened his grip on her wrist, and Tong Lu furrowed her eyebrows in pain. All the people around them were looking at her, and aside from feeling embarrassed, she was also flustered. She pursed her lips and tried her best to utter something. “Thank you for your concern.”

Leng Yejin said nothing. He raised his hand and wiped the tears off her cheeks with his fingertips. He was emanating a domineering aura.

“This is the venue of the meeting, and it is not the right place for you to throw a tantrum. As a volunteer, you’re not supposed to let your personal emotions affect your performance. Didn’t anyone tell you this during your training sessions?”

Tong Lu blushed. She bowed slightly and nodded. “I’ll take note of this.”

“Great!” Leng Yejin felt that he was being overly concerned about her. He said coldly, “Go and calm yourself down.”

He let go of her wrist and strode into the venue without looking back, disappearing from Tong Lu’s field of vision. But she could still feel the slightly cold sensation of his fingertips on her cheeks.

“Tong Lu, are you alright? Did anyone upset you?” Another volunteer tapped her shoulder.

Tong Lu immediately regained her senses. She shook her head. “No. My eyes are a little sensitive, and I always tear up when the wind blows directly into my eyes.”

“I see. But you’re very lucky to have Mr. Leng take notice of you. I hope that didn’t scare you. I heard that Leng Yejin is the president’s nephew. He’s really a people person.”

“I know right. I was so excited that I almost froze.” Tong Lu made a self-deprecating joke and carried on with her job.

With every delegate she met at the narrow aisle, she stopped to greet them, bowed at them and showed them the way. She followed all the necessary etiquettes, and all her movements and everything she said were flawless. However, she was actually a little absent-minded.

In the evening, Tong Lu enjoyed her lunch box together with a few other volunteers as they discussed matters related to the banquet. A staff member called her over. “Tong Lu, hurry up and make twenty copies of this document. Then, send it to meeting room 305 on the second floor. The people there need it for their meeting.”

“They’re still having a meeting at this hour?”

“Yes, the president made a sudden decision to have an internal meeting with the representatives from all the consortiums. I’m doing you a favor here. You’ll get the chance to catch a glimpse of the president. Don’t mess things up.”

She immediately put down her lunch box and went to make copies on the document. She then rushed over to the second floor. However, the moment she arrived at the elevator waiting area, she saw Shi Yang again. This time, he was not alone. When Tong Lu took a good look at the woman standing beside him, her entire body froze. ‘She’s back too?’
