Chapter 124: A chance to choose again
Lauren's appearance made the eyes of the men in the room, all of them focused on her body.
Although draped in the suit left by Nangong Lixin, Lauren still had a feeling of a chill down her back.
She forced herself to ignore the way the man was looking at her and looked around for Matthew's
figure.
Finally, in a corner of the hall, Matthew and Ling Xueer, who was hanging on him like a tail-less bear,
were seen.
Lauren pulled her suit tighter around her body and walked her long, slender legs in Matthew's direction.
She wanted Matthew to tell himself where the little baby was.
"Joshua, how is it you? Where's the little one?"
Lauren had just walked to the middle of the hall when she was grabbed by an expressionless Joshua,
who pulled Lauren directly to a corner despite the crowd's surprise.
"Joshua, let go of it, there are a lot of people watching here, you don't want to make people look at
you."
Although Lauren fought hard to resist, she was still held tightly in Joshua's arms by his strength.
"Lauren, why don't you go home? Do you know how anxious me and my little one are waiting?"
In order to allow Lauren to breathe the fresh air outside, Joshua slightly reduced the strength of his
hands.
"Joshua, it doesn't matter if I'm back at the mansion or not, where's the little one?Matthew said the little
one would show up for the party. Why haven't I seen her?"
Lauren scanned around Joshua, but didn't find any sign of her little one, which gave her a feeling of
being duped.
"Lauren, is it true that in your heart, there is only the little baby and not my Joshua's shadow?"
Lauren was taken aback by the madness in Joshua's eyes. She pushed Joshua away hard and kept a
distance from Joshua.
"The first time I saw you, I was very concerned about your daughter. Why can't I see any care and
affection in your eyes, Joshua? I'm not sure what's going on.
Joshua's feelings really made Lauren wonder if he was the loving little baby daddy he used to be.
"Lauren, as long as I'm with you, I can give up my little baby, and my little baby will be confined to a
wheelchair for the rest of her life, and I can take care of her, but I would prefer to have another little
baby with you, and then I will love her and let him live in a world full of love."
Joshua's words took Lauren by surprise.
"Get out of my way, I don't want any contact with a heartless, heartless man."
Lauren pushed Joshua away and intended to go to Matthew, but instead, Joshua once again pulled her
back.
"Lauren, I won't let you leave, you can only stay with me Joshua for the rest of your life, I won't let you
go back to that demon Matthew."
Joshua took Lauren by the wrist and, despite her struggles, headed for the side door.
"Joshua, let go of your hand or I don't mind cutting off your right hand in front of so many people."
A strong, dangerous scent behind her, but Lauren's face, raised a smile.
Lauren and Joshua looked back at the same time, only to see Matthew standing behind them with a
cruel curve on the corner of his mouth. The aura of danger on his body was getting thicker and thicker.
"Matthew, what if I don't let go? What can you do to me?"
Faced with the threat on Matthew's face, Joshua didn't put it in his eyes that no one could stop his
decision to take Lauren.
"Lauren, now is your chance to choose again, will you choose to leave with this man or will you choose
to return to my arms?"
Matthew hands around his chest, his face hanging careless expression, he put all the problems, all the
blame on Lauren's body.
"Matthew, take me away."
Lauren's unhesitating answer took Joshua by surprise.
"Lauren, why?"
The pain in Joshua's eyes makes Lauren feel a little sorry too, but she must choose to rejoin Matthew's
arms for the sake of her own plans.
"Joshua, I appreciate your feelings for me, but I'm really sorry, I can only be Matthew's woman in this
life, I won't give any man the chance to touch me, being with you and choosing a married life with you
is the worst decision I've ever made in my life, give it up,"
Lauren's words, so Joshua painful, pulling Lauren's hand, but also slowly light less light, Lauren took
advantage of this opportunity to return to Matthew's side.
"Joshua, get out of here."
Lauren kept urging Joshua, fearing that Joshua, who had no one to protect him, would be severely
beaten by Matthew.
"Lauren, is this you worrying about Joshua?"
Matthew clearly saw in Lauren's eyes, her worry about Joshua, which made his heart, a nameless fire
rose.
Originally, he wanted to let Joshua go, but at this look of concern, Matthew changed his mind. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Matthew, let him go, he's got a little baby to take care of."
Lauren smelled danger from Matthew's surrounding breath, and she couldn't help but pull Matthew's
arm. Opened her mouth to pray.
"Originally I wanted to let him go, but I've changed my mind now, Cheng, do it cleanly, understand?"
Matthew's comment caused Lauren to throw an apologetic look in Joshua's direction.
"Matthew, let Joshua go."
Ling Xue'er's sudden voice made Ah Cheng stop in his tracks. Once again, he retreated behind
Matthew.
Ling Xue'er walked directly to Matthew's face.
"Matthew, Joshua is my cousin, you know that very well, for the sake of me doing that thing for you, let
him go and don't create any bad influence at this party, or else how are you going to proceed with your
plan next?"
Ling Xueer is clearly pleading for Joshua's sake.
"Okay, for your sake, I'll let him off this time and tell him to leave here immediately and take good care
of the little baby, or I'll show up at the Leng's family's shareholders meeting tomorrow."
Ling Xue'er nodded gently and came in front of a furious Joshua.
"Cousin, don't make trouble here, you are only one person, you will suffer a loss, remember the saying.
If you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of having no firewood to burn. There will be plenty of
opportunities to fight Matthew later."
Ling Xueer whispered in Joshua's ear.
Looking at Lauren in Matthew's arms, Joshua's heart ached as if a bomb had exploded. It ravaged his
heart, which was in tatters.
"Cousin, you should know that Matthew now holds the shares of some of your company's
shareholders, and he can appear at the shareholders' meeting whenever he wants, and he will
definitely make you look bad in front of the shareholders when the time comes."
Seeing that Joshua was no longer as insistent as he had been earlier, Ling Xueer picked up where she
left off.
It took a few deep breaths to force myself not to rush to Matthew's face.
"Cher, I'll do as you say today, but I'll find a chance to get Lauren back."
With these words, Joshua turned to leave.
Seeing Joshua leave, Lauren and Ling Xueer breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Matthew, let's go down the hall and carry on with what you're doing next, shall we?"
The first time I saw her, she pushed Lauren out of his arms and nestled herself in Matthew's arms.
"Good. Seung, take Lauren with you."
Seung, who had received the order, came directly to Lauren's face.
"Miss. Li, let's go,"
Lauren knew that there was no way to escape Matthew's sphere of influence, so she had to passively
follow Matthew and Michelle Ling's lead.
Lauren once again appeared in front of everyone. Especially the tulle dress without a suit to cover up,
so that the eyes of many men, all appear greedy eyes. It is as if Lauren's body tulle ripped off
immediately, directly under their own body. Release the passion of men.
Matthew's icy eyes looked askance at Lauren, who was hovering among the men like a butterfly.
"Miss. Li, I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang in Lauren's ears. She smiled and laughed and turned her head, and
sure enough, she saw Nangong Lixin looking at herself with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Nangong, it's really too much of a coincidence. I wanted to return the suit to you, but now I don't
know where it's going, but you can leave your phone number and address, and I'll deliver it to your
house after I buy it."
Lauren looked at Nangong Lixin with an apologetic face.
The corner of Nangong Lixin's mouth, raised a bright smile.
"Miss. Li, you are really too polite, it's just a suit, it's not worth hanging on your heart, I wonder if I have
this honor to ask Miss. Li to have a dance, huh?"
Nangong Lixin extended his hand. Make the gesture of a gentleman's invitation.
Lauren glanced at Matthew, who was standing not far from her, and originally wanted to refuse
Nangong Lixin's invitation, but when she saw Ling Xue'er in Matthew's arms, she instantly changed her
mind.
He can have other women. How can one not have a male friend?
Lauren, who thought of this, placed her hand in Nangong Lixin's large hand under Matthew's gaze and
threw a provocative glance at Matthew.
"Miss. Li, I didn't expect that you are such a good dancer. Looks like I have to learn from you."
Nangong Lixin also did not expect that a woman in a revealing dress could not be more revealing, but
actually can dance so elegantly, and without any flavor of dust and wind.
"Nangong Lixin, have you not thought about what kind of woman I am? Aren't you afraid that dancing
with me in your arms will make other people laugh? After all, in their eyes, I am a woman who seduces
men at every turn."
Lauren raised her phoenix eyes and looked at Nangong Lixin with self-deprecation.
Nangong Lixin laughed out loud. The large hand holding on Lauren's slim waist came with the heat of a
man.
"Miss. Li, are you such a woman?"
In Nangong Lixin's dark eyes, a glint that Lauren could not understand quickly slid through. This
caused a hint of alarm in Lauren's heart.
"Miss. Li, are you afraid of CEO Yin? As far as I know, the relationship between you two, seems to be
not very ordinary."
Although dancing on the dance floor, but Nangong Lixin's eyes, has been locked tightly on Lauren's
body, but also easily catch, Lauren if there is a glance to Matthew's eyes.
Nangong Lixin guessed her mind at once, which made Lauren a little embarrassed, a moment of
nervousness, she stepped right on Nangong Lixin's foot. A muffled sound was heard coming from
Nangong Lixin.
"Mr. Nangong, really ...... sorry really."
Lauren looked at Nangong Lixin with an apologetic face, unable to believe that she had made such a
blunder.
"Forget it, Miss. Li, you look distracted, if you jump any further, you might be noticed by the others, I'd
better bring you to the CEO Yin."
Ignoring Lauren's struggle, Nangong Lixin wrapped his arm around her waist and slid out onto the
dance floor, directly in front of Matthew.
