Beauty Complex

Jiang Bailu was arranging the photos taken in college at home, but there were not many of his own photos, they were mostly photos of his ex-boyfriend, so he was dissatisfied with the album. He had to suspect that maybe even the photos in the other person's hands were not as good as the ones he threw out.

In the end he threw his ex-boyfriend's photo album into the locker under the bookcase and locked it, and then called Qin Xingyi to inquire about Ceng Ge. He wanted to go directly to Ceng Ge, he called him twice, but the person who answered the phone was Ceng Ge's assistant.

Qin Xingyi told him on the other end of the phone, "I heard from Yu Junlin that he went abroad this week. However," he paused, "he should be back before Song Tang's birthday party next week."

Jiang Bailu: "Song Tang's birthday party?"

Qin Xingyi : "he also sent an invitation to you, and asked Yu Junlin to send it to me."

Jiang Bailu: "When?"

Qin Xingyi : "next Wednesday. Are you going to come?"

"Of course I will come." Jiang Bailu said happily, "Why not?"

"Okay, you can come with me next week. I'll ask Yu Junlin to prepare an extra gift." Qin Xingyi thought for a while, and then asked, "Are you looking for a job? Are you going to help in your father's company, or find another one?"

Jiang Bailu said in a casual tone, "I didn't study business administration, and I don't know anything about the stuff in the company. Besides, my father is still middle-aged and strong and doesn't need my help at all. I'm not in a hurry to find a job."

In fact, there is no hurry to find a job. It's not uncommon to find a young man like him in Siku City who is still idle in his twenties and from a well-off family. So, even if he doesn't look for a job, and invites his friends to go out to drink and party all day, he won't effect his family.

With a calm expression on his face, after hanging up the phone, he went online to submit his resume to several larger publishing companies. When he went abroad at the age of 18, his grades were not very good, and President Jiang did not burden him, so he chose a more relaxed photography major.

After getting it, Jiang Bailu was mocked all day long by his ex-boyfriend who threw thousands of knives at him with his words, saying that he was a fool and idle. Jiang Bailu was not convinced, grabbed the expensive SLR and smashed it on his ex-boyfriend. However his ex-boyfriend didn't stop there and said he's an eldest young master who doesn't know what hardships are. After that he walked around with his camera hanging all day long and photographed those beautiful students in the school. In his heart he said what do you know about those reporters and photographers who go in the middle of the war disregarding their safety that's always on the edge of life and death every day?

At that time Jiang Belu did not say anything, got up from bed in the middle of the night, aggressively packed his school bag  aggressively, bought a plane ticket to Syria without saying goodbye, and took a taxi to the airport. In the middle of the night, when his ex-boyfriend came back from the night shift at the bar...

He stopped his memories and hung his eyes and laughed. He don't know if he laughing at his youth and arrogance back then, or at the other party's frantic look when he learned the truth on the phone.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and snorted coldly at the photo of his ex-boyfriend in the DSLR.

On the night of Song Tang's birthday, Yu Junlin drove him and Qin Xingyi to the Song's house. The outer courtyard is full of extravagant cars and BMWs. In the inner courtyard, investors, actors, and actresses were chatting and laughing, there was surging ambiguous around the place. The banquet hall in the main house was brightly lit, with transparent champagne glasses stacked in a small pyramid shape in the center of the banquet hall, and a gorgeous birthday cake on the main table.

Jiang Bailu has only recently returned to China, but he knows that in the past few years, his father President Jiang had made a name for himself in the circle. He stood silently in the corner, and from time to time many people would come up to talk to him. Jiang Bailu patiently chatted with them a few words, and when he saw the people he was waiting for come in from the door, he dismissed those who came over with a few words, but did not rush to go over.

Obviously someone was more anxious than him.

Song Tong ordered someone to open the champagne fountain and called Yu Junlin and Ceng Ge over. The two stood on his left and right , before Song Tang reached out to light the candles on the cake. The lights in the banquet hall went out, and the candle flames flickered gently in the darkness.

Jiang Bailu froze and quietly leaned over towards Ceng Ge.

The butler reminded Song Tang from outside the crowd, "Young master, you can blow out the candles. After blowing out the candles, close your eyes and make a wish."

Song Tong slightly leaned down and blew out a breath towards the candles on the cake.

Jiang Bailu had moved behind Ceng Ge and pushed the other party to the side. The latter did not react much and moved a step away from him. Jiang Bailu quietly squeezed in between Song Tang and Ceng Ge.

The candles were extinguished by the wind, and the banquet hall was completely darkened.

Song Tang raised the corner of his mouth, turned his face in the darkness, and dropped a kiss on the face of the person beside him. Even hintingly, he stretched out his tongue and licked the other's mouth. (T/N: kill me )

The lights were turned on again, and everyone's eyes adjusted to light. Song Tang glanced at Jiang Bailu's face and suddenly stiffened, his face chilled at a speed visible to the naked eye. But he saw Jiang Bailu turn his head, showing an expression even more astonished than him.

Song Tong's face turned blue and white.

Five minutes later, Jiang Bailu stood at the bathroom sink, turning on the warm water and lowered his head to wash his face. The sound of footsteps outside the door came from far to near, but Jiang Bailu kept moving his hands.

When he looked up, he found the handsome and tall man standing behind him, looking at him through the mirror with half a smile. Jiang Bailu turned around and, imitating the way the boss had addressed the man in the bar that day, While putting his hand on the other man's chest , he asked with a smile, "Boss Ceng, have you brought any handkerchief?"

Ceng Ge stopped him and glanced at him, "The handkerchief isn't there."

"Then where is it?" Jiang Bailu slipped the other hand from the other side's chest pocket and slowly landed it on his belt, lowered his eyes, still smiling as before, "could it be in here?"

The man did not speak, but did not reach out to stop him either. So he hooked his collar directly and pushed him into the cubicle, and then locked. He turned his head with his eyes closed, put his lips against Ceng Ge's neck, blocked the gasping sound that overflowed from his lips intermittently, and sucked hard on the other's neck.

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the cubicle with slightly messy clothes, and happened to bump into an unfamiliar actress who was walking in high heels who turned and bumped into them. Jiang Bailu was stunned for a second, and the man beside him said coldly, "you are going  to the wrong bathroom."

The actress raised her face in astonishment, her eyes swept across the hickey on Ceng Ge's neck, and landed on Jiang Bailu's messy collar. She Immediately reacted, lowered her eyes and apologized and exited the door, then turned around and walked into the banquet hall. As she walked, she was so puzzled by what she saw.

The man who spoke, she's sure that she had seen him before at the investor's dinner table, was he the new heir of Ceng's company who had been in the limelight in the past two years. She still remembers very clearly that at the dinner table that day, all the stars except her were male stars. Her agent at that time urged her hundreds of times to win Ceng Ge, and no one else can get him other than her.

After all, Ceng Ge didn't like men.

Obviously Song Tang thought so too. Ceng Ge disappeared for nearly an hour, and when he reappeared, there was already an eye-catching hickey on his neck. Immediately afterwards, someone came to deliver him a message. The new actress who won the award a month ago entered the men's bathroom. Not long after the other party came out, Ceng Ge and Jiang Bailu came out one after the other.

Song Tang crossed out Jiang Bailu, and his eyes fell angrily on the new promoted actress.

A week later, the newly promoted actress lost two roles in a big production movies for no reason.
