**********

The seventh day of the first month in the lunar calendar.

Beijing, Binhai Villa No. 19.

Holding onto a glass of champagne, Xiao Ya walked towards the man that reclined on the nook of the sofa and stood before him.

"Hey, our most promising, youngest Oscar award-winning director, what are you thinking about?" Rather unhappy, she lifted her leg to kick his calf, "with such a frown, you can probably squeeze a mosquito to death."

"That's right, Lu Erge[1], anyways we fellows have sent out a signal and got everyone together to celebrate your birthday, at least give us some face[2]." Not too far away, a youth dressed in black athleisure clothes had followed suit and yelled out to him.

[1] 二哥 (èr gē) - This means the second brother of the Lu family, or second brother Lu. But, it does not sound as casual and friendly in English as it should be.

[2] 面子 (miàn zi) - A common word found in Chinese novels, it means giving support or at least patronising and appearing in a venue/event.

As he yelled out, several people in the hall had stopped moving their hands and looked over.

However, as for the youngest master of the Lu family, what on earth was he bothered about?

During the year-end Oscar award ceremony, at the age of twenty-seven, Lu Xi had the honour of receiving the Best Director and had immediately smashed the Oscars Academy records. Due to him receiving the award, his newest drama《Sunflower》had also become popular before even airing. Afterwards, when it began broadcasting on the second day of the new year, its show ratings had sharply risen and the public opinion about it had also grown.

In other areas, although both the Lu Family and their properties were equally large, their family relations were uncomplicated and both brothers had always gotten along harmoniously and had great affections for each other.

A smooth sailing career and an amiable family; so what in the world could cause this young master to be unhappy?

What he was thinking about huh...... Lu Xi lowered his head to look at his phone in his hands and sighed as he waved a hand towards the person in the hall, "nothing, you all can have fun, don't need to bother about me."

Hearing this, the people in the hall shrugged and continued with what they were doing.

The young man, who had opened his mouth previously, had gotten close and just so happened to have noticed Lu Xi lowering his head to look at his phone. With a sudden stray thought, he asked with a strange expression on his face, "I say Lu Erge, you wouldn't be thinking about a girl from some family right?"

Hearing him say this, Xiao Ya blinked and then finally had some reaction.

This sort of inattentive expression of his that he had while looking at his phone, was this, not a carbon copy of how she usually behaves while waiting for Lu Jing's message?

"So......" She too had followed along and raised an eyebrow, "Su Jin?"

The matter about the Lu Family and Shenhai's Su Family becoming related through marriage, she too had known a smattering about it. Initially, she had thought it was only just both of them having a mutually favourable impression of the other- however, she never thought that this fellow would have actually had such deep-rooted feelings.

Su Jin......

Hearing this name, Lu Xi had at first subconsciously lowered his head to look at the phone in his hands. Then, he had firmly gritted his teeth.
