Coming out of the dress shop, Duan Shu Xian and Xi Jingchen got into the car. Her quiet gaze carried a hint of nervousness, and her hands were clasped together.
Xi Jingchen reached out his hand and placed it in his palm, wrapping it up. His eyes revealed a hint of gentleness.
Duan Shu Xian let out a small sigh of relief. She also made up her mind in her heart. Although her previous life was very ordinary, she still wanted to try to accept and get close to his life.
She mustered up her courage and accompanied him as calmly as possible.
The banquet was held in a large hotel, but it was a national safe hotel. In an elegant western restaurant, the two of them ate some dinner. Xi Jingchen was worried that she would be hungry when they entered the banquet. Unknowingly, it was already 6: 30 PM. Many luxury cars had already arrived outside the hotel. The guests who had come to attend the charity banquet had all arrived on time. This time, Madam Sun had invited all famous people from the business world.
Young Madams and Young Masters from the political world. This banquet was not open to the public because there was an important charity recruitment event tonight. It was a special fundraising event that Madam Sun had called for.
Charity was an activity that raised one's self-worth and meaning. As a celebrity, he was willing to contribute.
Xi Jingchen was not in a hurry to bring Duan Shu Xian into the venue, so he chatted about the recent events in the coffee shop downstairs. When he heard that Duan Shumin had gone abroad, Xi Jingchen felt that it was a good thing.
It was right for a person to understand what they wanted to do and have a clear goal in life.
It was as if his life had been arranged, but his goal was also very clear. In this life, he had his own choice for his wife, who was about to join hands with him for the rest of his life.
"Shu Xian, do you feel pressured when you are with me?" Xi Jingchen asked in a low voice.
Duan Shu Xian blinked. Pressure? She definitely had it, but as long as she could be with him, she wasn't afraid of facing pressure.
She nodded. "There is some pressure, but I will overcome it."
"Are you ready to hold hands with me for the rest of your life?" Xi Jingchen's gaze locked onto her.
Duan Shu Xian nodded without hesitation, "I'm done! No matter what kind of difficulties I face in the future, I will not retreat.
A gratified smile flashed past Xi Jingchen's eyes. He could see the determination in her eyes. Her seemingly weak body contained a strong soul.
Xi Jingchen looked at the wrist watch, it was seven o'clock, he said gently, "We should go up."
"En!" Duan Shu Xian stood up. She, who was not used to wearing high heel shoes, had only taken two steps when she stepped on the man's arm in fright.
Xi Jingchen's hand also quickly wrapped around her lumbar region, holding her steady.
"Are you alright?" Xi Jingchen asked with concern.
"It's fine, I just missed a step." Duan Shu Xian pursed her lips and smiled, but since she held onto him, she wouldn't let go.
Xi Jingchen slightly bent down and warned, "Hold onto me tightly, don't fall again."
Duan Shu Xian's arm tightened again, "I will."
At around seven o 'clock, a black Maybach stopped in the parking lot in front of the hotel. The hotel's security guard immediately came forward to open the door for him.
A slender leg stepped down, following that, Duan Siye walked down from the driver's seat.
He came alone, dressed in a black suit, as if he had just rushed over from the company.
"Mr. Duan!" Please come in. "The manager came out to greet him and recognized him at a glance.
Duan Siye's reputation came from both his family's political status and his own outstanding status in the business world.
He, who had two identities, had already made people feel honored on many occasions.
However, he, who had always kept a low profile, was like a lonely king. Just as Duan Siye was about to enter, suddenly, a girl's figure rushed out from another car. She directly rushed in, and because she was in a hurry, she rashly bumped into Duan Siye's back, knocking his tall and straight figure.
He was so frightened that he took a step forward.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The girl was in a hurry to go in, not even having the time to look at the person who was hit.
However, the security guards standing in front of her immediately stopped the girl in front of her, "Miss, please show me your invitation card! Otherwise, you are not allowed to enter.
The girl immediately rushed forward, and when the security guard reached out to stop her, she quickly stopped and explained to the security guard, "Hello, it's like this, my friend is up there, I'm going up to look for him."
"Tonight is a private banquet. If you don't have an invitation card, you are not allowed to enter." The security guard strictly carried out this order.
"How can you be so unreasonable!" I was just going up to look for someone, and I'll be back soon. "The girl bit her lips. At the same time, her gaze was fixed on the elevator that was right in front of her, and a hint of resentment surged in her eyes.
"Mr. Duan, are you alright?" The manager behind him carefully supported the man who had been hit.
Duan Siye had already straightened his body, his gaze looked towards the rude girl, his face was slightly cold, this kind of reckless person, he did not like.
"Look, there's smoke coming out from there. It's about to catch fire." The girl suddenly pointed and shouted. When the security guard heard the smoke and fire, he couldn't help but be attracted by her words. The six bodyguards immediately stared in the direction she was pointing at, and the girl's slender figure immediately slipped under the bodyguard's hand that was blocking her. She took large strides.
He ran to the elevator.
The bodyguard reacted and immediately chased after her. However, the girl was anxiously pressing the elevator button. The moment the bodyguard rushed over, the elevator door just so happened to close tightly. Even though a few bodyguards had forcefully opened the door, the elevator was already going up. The bodyguard immediately picked up the pager and informed the security guards outside the banquet to pay attention to a girl who had forcefully barged into the banquet. He also reported the girl's attire, a denim skirt, long hair, a height of about 1.65 meters, and a beautiful woman with exquisite facial features.
Child, you must stop him.
The manager angrily ordered the security guards to find the girl and bring her out of the hotel.
Duan Siye walked into the elevator at the side. His sword-like eyebrows furrowed as he tried to imagine why this girl would forcefully barge into the banquet. Looking at her expression just now, it did seem like she was looking for someone.
When he walked out of the elevator, he saw a few security guards standing in the elevator, talking to each other. Duan Siye listened to their tone, it seemed like he did not see a girl wearing a denim skirt getting off the elevator on this floor.
Duan Siye watched as the few security guards immediately entered the elevator to search for him. He ignored them and walked towards the direction of the banquet hall.
In the banquet hall, Xi Jingchen and Duan Shu Xian had already entered, but Xi Jingchen did not want to announce his identity in a high profile manner. He must have stayed in the army all these years, so there were not many people who knew him.
When Xi Jingchen and Madam Sun greeted each other, he had already warned them about this. Auntie Sun was also a person who understood this, so she did not specifically introduce Xi Jingchen's identity.
In the crowd this time, other than the jeweled madams, there were also many young men. They were all disciples of famous political families.
Although it was a private banquet, there were still nearly fifty people present, and many of them brought their female companions to attend. This was because someone had revealed that Madam Sun was going to sell a few special items tonight. It could be considered a small auction!
It just so happened that they could do good deeds and admire the treasures that Madam Sun had specially collected in advance. Xi Jingchen and Duan Shu Xian were especially eye-catching in the crowd. Whether it was their appearance or the aura they exuded, there was no lack of beautiful and imposing beauties here tonight, but Duan Shu Xian's existence attracted the attention of most of the men.
This was because her body had a particularly enchanting and fresh temperament, like an orchid in an empty valley, appearing fresh and refined.
There was no need to talk about Xi Jingchen. Standing in front of the young master of a political family, even though his identity was mysterious, he still had an aura that could suppress them.
At this moment, the door to the hall was pushed open and a handsome figure walked in.
Duan Shu Xian turned her head to look and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. So it was her big brother, Duan Siye. She said to Xi Jingchen who was beside her, "My cousin is here too." Xi Jingchen looked over, and said with great interest, "Meet me later, I want to get to know your cousin."
