C828 His Imagination Was Running Wild
The original hustle and bustle suddenly became dead silent.
Everyone looked at Caine, Lih Lingye, and Bai Xianxian's group of three.
Some people started whispering.
The combination of two men and one woman was the easiest to let one's imagination run wild.
However, it was too quiet at this moment. It was so quiet that even a needle could be heard clearly. In addition, Lih Lingye and Caine's aura were too strong. Even if there were countless gossips in the hearts of the people around them, they wouldn't dare to pour them out.
Although Lih Lingye had a faint smile on his face at this moment, for some reason, it made people tremble in fear. They absolutely wouldn't dare to act impudently in front of him.
As for Caine, although he looked gentle and shallow, the coldness in his eyes made people shiver.
Both of them were definitely not to be trifled with.
Therefore, everyone kept quiet as long as they could keep quiet. They couldn't say it out loud.
This kind of awkward situation happened right before the ceremony began. It was truly not good.
Bai Xianxian looked at Lih Lingye, then looked at Caine. She covered her mouth and coughed softly. At the same time, she pinched the back of Lih Lingye's hand and softly complained, "What problem can there be?"
Lih Lingye still had a faint smile on his lips. He first lowered his head to look at Bai Xianxian's shoes, then said in a low voice, "You are pregnant. It is not suitable for you to stand for long in these shoes. Well, it will not be good for you to stand for more than five minutes."
Bai Xianxian followed Lih Lingye's gaze and looked down. She had a pair of light blue high heels on her feet when she was trying on the dress. At that time, when Lih Lingye kept saying that she looked good, she still could not believe it. She felt that it was very strange that this man agreed to let the pregnant woman wear high heels.
Now she knew that her feeling at that time was not wrong at all.
Now she also knew why he did not oppose her wearing high heels. It turned out that it was for this moment.
It was to object to her cutting the ribbon for Caine's company's opening ceremony.
The scene fell silent once again.
Bai Xianxian awkwardly pursed her lips. If she had known it was like this, she would not have insisted on wearing flat shoes or half-heels.
However, at that time, she remembered that she also wore them when she was carrying Ning Ning, so she didn't insist on wearing flat shoes.
After all, she was also a woman, so how could a woman not love beauty?
Such a beautiful gown, paired with high-heeled shoes of the same color, was the most beautiful, that was without a doubt.
But now, it had become Lih Lingye's reason to oppose Caine.
And his words' you're pregnant 'also deeply hurt Caine's feelings.
Caine raised his hand to rub the space between his eyebrows and said, "Then I will arrange for another person to cut the ribbon."
Lih Lingye smiled slightly, "Since it was originally arranged for Xianxian to cut the ribbon, can she not join me as her husband to replace it?"
Lih Lingye stressed the word 'husband', making it impossible for others to ignore it even if they wanted to.
As soon as the word 'husband' came out of his mouth, coupled with the couple attire that he and Bai Xianxian wore as soon as they appeared, everyone instantly recognized that he and Bai Xianxian were a pair.
Then, Lih Lingye's self-recommendation operation gave people the feeling that he and Caine were friends, so he recommended himself to cut the ribbon for Caine's company's opening.
Thus, in just a few words, he became Caine's friend and had nothing to do with his love rival.
Furthermore, both husband and wife were friends with Caine.
Bai Xianxian slightly pursed her lips. Hearing Lih Lingye's seemingly joking suggestion, those who did not know would think that Caine invited him, and she was just a foil to him.1
Caine rubbed the space between his eyebrows once again, then smiled and said: "Of course you can, I can't ask for more."
Although he was a little unwilling, he had to admit that Bai Xianxian's reputation and aura were slightly worse than Lih Lingye's.
No, it was much worse.
After all, Lih Lingye was more famous.
Therefore, asking Lih Lingye to cut the ribbon for his company seemed like he had taken advantage of it.
Lih Lingye's suggestion was firstly to give him enough face, and secondly, to help Bai Xianxian secretly repay the friendship between him and Ning when he took care of Bai Xianxian.
At this moment, he was very sure that Lih Lingye had come prepared.
Soon, the opening ceremony began.
Because Lih Lingye was very careful with Bai Xianxian's words, in the end, Bai Xianxian became a guest. Most of the time, she sat and watched Caine and Lih Lingye busying themselves.
Although Lih Lingye was very enthusiastic about helping Caine's company, only she knew the man's thoughts the best.
Lih Lingye did not want her to have direct contact with Caine. Therefore, he actually helped Caine get in touch with him.
After the match, although Lih Lingye was only a supporting character, he still had the ability to suppress the limelight.
It couldn't be helped. Just by standing there, he could instantly attract the attention of half of the women present.
Under the contrast of the sunlight, his blue suit was actually dyed with a bit of coquettish taste, as if he had suddenly become a few years younger.
However, once the ribbon cutting ended, Lih Lingye swiftly arrived by Bai Xianxian's side. "Wife, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." Bai Xianxian wished she could kill this man with one finger. It was too bad. With his arrangement, she could not get tired even if she wanted to.
She was sitting the whole time.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Caine walking over. Bai Xianxian immediately stood up, but just as she was about to speak, Lih Lingye spoke, "Ning called just now. He seemed to have accidentally fallen off the swing. Look..."
"Did he hurt anywhere?" In the end, before Bai Xianxian could respond to Lih Lingye, Caine hurriedly asked.
"The child said he was fine, but..." As a father, it was impossible for him not to worry.
Anyone could hear the underlying meaning.
Caine nodded. "Xianxian, go back with you, Mr. Lih. You must tell me anything about Ning."
"Bai Xianxian felt that she had become invisible at this moment. She did not say a word and the two men unanimously decided to let her go back first.
What else could she do?
She looked down at the high heels on her feet. She swore that she would never wear such high heels again during her pregnancy. Otherwise, she would be tricked by Lih Lingye in a second.
"Mr. Lih, have a drink before leaving." Caine's routine was to be the landlord. After all, although Lih Lingye came with Bai Xianxian this time, he really saved the scene during the ribbon cutting.
Unexpectedly, Lih Lingye shook his head slightly. "No, my wife is pregnant. No matter what, I can't let her drive. If I want to drive, I can't drink. Thank you, mr. Caine, for your good intentions."
"Caine, who was caught off guard and stuffed full of dog food, was in a mess.
