Leo did not expect his casual remark to make Ariella laugh out loud.
Her smile seemed like the sun was shining in spring.
Even Leo couldn't help but look dumbfounded.
When a woman who was often unsmiling and cold and haughty suddenly smiled, the impact was absolutely huge.
What was more, Ariella's classical and noble looks would have made her a proper voluptuous concubine in ancient times.
And Ariella almost became his wife, and it would be a lie to say that Leo's heart did not flutter a little.
"What are you looking at?"
Noticing Leo's gaze, the smile on Ariella's face lasted for just a moment before disappearing without a trace.
The previous image of high-mindedness and indifference continued to be restored.
Leo came back to his senses at this time, and a moment of embarrassment crossed his face, "Nothing."
He had a family, and that he would be fascinated by looking at other women.
Leo was a bit overwhelmed.
Afterwards the two went in together.
The same two guards were still checking tickets at the gate.
But learning that Leo was Miss Spencer's friend, how could they dare to stand in the way?
Ariella gave only one ticket to go in.
But she did explain.
"He's the player representing the Spencer family in the tournament, so there's no need for a ticket."
"Okay ......"
Two security guards let them go straight away.
It took until they were a long way out to react.
"What did she just say?"
"A player representing the Spencer family?"
"So, what he said before is true, he really is the expert who fought in Spencer's place?"
The two guards were dumbfounded and a pang of fear in their hearts.
Earlier, Leo had said that he could get in without a ticket because he was a participant in the Northland Conference.
Instead, they ended up drawing ridicule from them, and none of them believed it.
Now they were dumbfounded that they had almost offended a martial arts master!
It was important to know that every contestant who dared to participate in the Northland Conference was very strong.
For what they thought, Ariella did not care, her mind was on Leo.
The two men were walking and not talking though.
But Ariella peeped at Leo, intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, he was the only man who could make her smile.
Yet, he belonged to someone else.
This was the point that Ariella regretted.
"Ariella, you're here, huh? I thought you'd be scared and not come!"
It was at this point that a familiar voice full of sarcasm came to ears.
Leo and Ariella followed the sound and saw that Cindy was already seated in the stands belonging to the Spencer family, with a tub of melon seeds in front of her.
Unlike Ariella, who was carrying huge family pressure, the Northern Territory Conference, for her, was a visit to enjoy a holiday.
She didn't know anything about martial arts, but it was a treat to bask in the sun, get high, and occasionally watch the winners and losers on the tournament stage.
However, when she placed her eyes on Leo behind Ariella, her whole face changed.
"Leo? How did you ...... get in here?"
Cindy's eyes were full of incredulity, she had clearly instructed the security guard at the entrance not to let Leo in.
But seeing Ariella standing side by side, she instantly understood and her expression turned sarcastic.
"Ariella, he's considered your ex-husband and you're still helping him so much."
Ariella did not get angry and casually sat down gracefully in her seat without glancing at her.
"My business is still out of your hands."
"You ......"
Seeing Ariella even ignore her, Cindy was furious.
But soon, a man of great strength came to Cindy's side.
It was Kingsley.
Then, Cindy burst out laughing again, "Ariella, just be complacent, the Northernland Conference is about to start and you're still accomplishing nothing, it's me who have the Spencer family attend the competition."
"Kingsley will get the place for the Spencer family, all is due to me, nothing to do with you!"
"I will definitely report this matter to Great Grandfather when I return, so you can just get out!"
"Hmph!"
Kingsley was like an iron tower, bringing a great oppressive aura.
He grunted heavily, and his gaze at Leo.
However, neither Leo nor Ariella was half-frightened or angry, still calm.
"Noisy, didn't Great Grandfather teach you that you should watch your language?"
Ariella responded flatly.
Cindy was stunned.
Cindy was somewhat no match for Ariella in arguing, so she simply stopped talking.
"When the Northernland Conference begins, there will be time for you to cry!"
Ariella still didn't have any panic, instead she looked at Leo and smiled slightly, "See you later!"
"See you later!"
Leo nodded and then walked towards where Lydia was.
On the side, Cindy was dumbfounded.
She instinctively thought of these two as having an affair.
"Lydia's husband wouldn't have an affair with Ariella, would he?"
Cindy froze.
It was nine o'clock sharp, one hour before the opening of the Northernland Conference.
"Daddy!"
