Lu Yihan reached out and grabbed Xin Yu's wrist, forcing her soft little hand to intertwine with his big palm. Xin Yu was so angry that her face turned a little green. She kept struggling and refused to cooperate. Lu Yihan simply reached out and lifted her chin. His devilishly handsome face came closer to hers as he narrowed his eyes. "… Why are you trying to be brave with me now? Don't tell me you're planning to back out at the last minute? "
"Be good and hold my hand. Since we've already come to this point, let's finish this act. Don't forget, if we really mess this up, your father's matter will definitely be over."
His last sentence finally made Xin Yu compromise.
What was there to be awkward about now? She had already agreed to it before, and now everything was ready. However, she just had to hold his hand … Even if she felt uneasy because there had been no news from Qin Fangang for the past two days, and she didn't know where he went. Plus, her phone had run out of battery, so she couldn't contact him … But no matter what, she still told herself to finish this matter first. Afterward, she would think of a way to explain to Qin Fangang. He wasn't an unreasonable person. She thought this matter should be clear.
Xin Yu slowly took two deep breaths. In the end, she still cooperated with Lu Yihan. However, she didn't choose to intertwine her fingers with his. Instead, she reluctantly held onto his arm and prepared to leave.
"… This pair of shoes suits you very well. They're very beautiful. You can hold onto me all the time. I won't let you fall." Before they left, Lu Yihan took the opportunity to press his lips against her ear. His deep voice carried a hint of warmth as he said this.
Xin Yu's body stiffened. Before she could come back to her senses, he had already kept a distance from her and pulled the unwilling her out of the room.
…
It was indeed a different scene outside. Probably all of D City's upper-class society had gathered in one place.
Song Yangyu, the man of the hour in City A, was also present today. Recently, he had been the focus of all the media in City A. He had broken up with his fiancée, whom he had been engaged to for many years, and had taken a fancy to a female teacher who was thirteen years younger than him. The most special thing was that his nephew had once had a crush on this female teacher, and had fought with his love rival for him. Xin Yu could never understand the world of the rich.
This so-called "anniversary" was an opportunity for these celebrities to "interact" with each other. This was Xin Yu's first time attending, and she was the main character. When Lu Yihan brought her to the banquet hall, she felt uncomfortable all over.
She maintained a stiff smile on her face, and the pair of high heels on her feet were killing her. At first, she could still manage it, but after standing for less than 10 minutes, she could not stand it anymore.
On the other hand, Lu Yihan moved through the crowd with ease. Many people came up to toast and chat, and Lu Yihan was able to maintain a certain level of elegance, drinking and responding.
Of course, during this time, Xin Yu drank a few glasses. Actually, her alcohol tolerance was not very good, but she couldn't refuse. After drinking two glasses, she felt tired and dizzy. In the end, she really couldn't stand anymore. Finally, she couldn't help but lean closer to Lu Yihan and whisper, "… I'm very tired. I want to rest for a while."
"Lean on me."
Lu Yihan reached out and gently squeezed her palm. The two of them were the main characters of tonight's banquet. After dressing up and standing in this kind of banquet hall, their every movement was being watched. So when Lu Yihan leaned over, Xin Yu felt uncomfortable. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously at this time. She turned her face away slightly. Between her eyebrows, there was Lu Yihan's familiar disgust —
Disgust for himself.
His heart, which had just warmed up, instantly sank to the bottom of the valley with a thump. An uncontrollable anger rose within him.
Was he really that annoying to her?
She always acted like he was a stinky piece of trash. If he got close to her, she couldn't wait to avoid him …
Lu Yihan's breathing gradually became heavier. He was already drunk, so his negative emotions were even stronger. He suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around the back of Xin Yu's neck, pulling her into his embrace. The two bodies were suddenly pressed tightly together. The man's scorching breath carried a strong smell of alcohol and hit her in the face —
"… Why are you hiding? Aren't we supposed to be more affectionate? What about your performance? Don't you want your father to come out? "
Xin Yu glared at Lu Yihan with her large dark eyes. She pursed her red lips and didn't say a word.
Lu Yihan laughed. His rough fingers slowly caressed her cheek. His thin lips curved as he leaned closer to Xin Yu. "… Even if you're tired, you have to hold on. There will be a few reporters coming over in a while. Even if you want to put on a show, you have to do it well, okay?"
"… Also, don't look at me like that. I'm afraid I really won't be able to resist and want to —"
Before Lu Yihan could finish speaking, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the hotel's banquet hall. He thought it was the reporters that had been arranged to come in, but unexpectedly, someone beside him suddenly exclaimed, "… Is that Qin Fangang outside?"
Xin Yu's heart thumped. Almost instinctively, she reached out with both hands and pushed Lu Yihan away forcefully.
Lu Yihan was a little startled at this moment. He wasn't paying attention and was pushed away by Xin Yu. He lost his balance and swayed a little. Luckily, at this moment, everyone's attention was on the entrance of the banquet hall, so no one noticed that something was wrong.
"… It's really Qin Fangang! Why is he here? "The female voice beside them sounded very excited.
"… What's so strange about that? He's now the CEO of the Lu Clan. Of course he has to make an appearance on a day like this. "
"…"
Xin Yu's heart was in her throat. At that moment, there was only one thought in her muddled mind — Qin Fangang was here. He had lost contact with her for two days and two nights. He was here …
She turned around and saw that quite a number of people had already gathered at the entrance of the banquet hall. In such a noisy environment, Xin Yu could hear everything clearly — the steady footsteps, one after another, were exceptionally clear.
Her eyes glistened as she looked at the tall figure descending from the sky. It was as if he was thousands of miles away, but also as if he was within her reach.
Xin Yu felt a lump in her throat. Her small hands clutched her skirt, and her breathing became a little rapid.
Only she knew what she was thinking at this moment. There was a sour feeling in her heart that kept fermenting, reminding her of an undeniable fact — in the two days and two nights that she was under house arrest, she missed him. She missed him too much … …
Perhaps this feeling wasn't strong before, but now that she suddenly saw him descending from the sky, she felt that she had been clenching her teeth and persevering for the past two days. She had come this far, and from the beginning to the end, she had firmly believed that he would definitely appear.
…
Qin Fangang was only wearing a light blue striped shirt and a pair of simple black trousers. A suit jacket of the same color hung on his wrist. His black hair was slightly messy, and his exquisite features looked a little tired, but it didn't affect his calm and reserved aura at all.
Xin Yu thought that since she couldn't contact him for the past two days, he definitely didn't deliberately not contact her. He must have left D City. Now that she saw him in a hurry, she knew that he must have just gotten off the plane and rushed over.
Her clear eyes stared straight at the tall man standing at the entrance of the banquet hall. She only felt that all the sounds around her were slowly disappearing, and all she could see was him.
…
Lu Yihan stood beside Xin Yu. He looked at the woman beside him, who was staring at another man with an almost infatuated gaze. She didn't try to hide it at all, but then he thought about the way she looked at him. It was cold, distant, and emotionless. If he had to pinpoint any emotions, it would be disgust and disgust …
The fire of jealousy burned fiercely in his chest. He had never thought that a man would feel so superior in front of him, but he was so easily outclassed by Qin Fangang. Even though he struggled on his deathbed, he still couldn't compare to even one-tenth of Qin Fangang's strength.
No, perhaps it wasn't even one-thousandth of Qin Fangang's strength.
Lu Yihan had lived like a prince since he was young, and all these years, who didn't have to bow and scrape before him? Even if it was a woman, he didn't have to go through so much trouble. He had to lower his voice, yet he still couldn't get what he wanted. In the past, Lan Ruoran only had to beckon with his finger, and she would obediently come back. When he got married, she was more willing to be his mistress.
It wasn't until now that he truly understood what it meant to be "defeated," and it was from his own "wife."
His eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but reach out and grab Xin Yu's wrist. Xin Yu groaned in pain and wanted to struggle, but Lu Yihan used more force and pulled her into his embrace. He curled his lips and laughed sarcastically. "… Why? Did you lose your soul after seeing that man? Do you want me to help you look for him? "
It was impossible for Xin Yu not to hear that he was being sarcastic. However, Lu Yihan knew everything about her and Qin Fangang, so she didn't need to hide anymore. "Lu Yihan, let go of me —"
"Let go of you for what?"
Lu Yihan narrowed his eyes, and his large hands slowly slid down her smooth back. Xin Yu was wearing a backless dress today, so the man's hands were brazenly pressed against her back, making it seem even more intimate. She could clearly feel Lu Yihan's eyes slowly darkening, and even his voice was darkening. "… Let go of you so that you can look for that man? Leng Xinyu, tonight is our home court, do you know that? You're my wife. If I don't want to let go of you, you'll never be able to be with him. "
Xin Yu pushed hard against the man's chest with both hands. She frowned and said in frustration, "… Have you had enough? Lu Yihan, you know what I'm thinking. I don't want to play such a boring game with you. Let go of me! "
"I'm not letting go of you. Are you going to make a scene with me? Or are you going to tell all the famous people in City D that you want to divorce me in front of them? With the illegitimate son of the Lu family? "
Lu Yihan's seemingly scorching gaze hid a monstrous anger. He couldn't control his emotions, and they fiercely attacked his rationality. He pressed tightly against Xin Yu's back, and her soft body was embedded in his. The faintly discernible scent on her body, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, drove him crazy. She was clearly his Lady Lu, so why wasn't she his woman?
