The conversation between Shen Jingyu and Mu Beiyao once again ended in Shen Jingyu's silence.
Mu Beiming greeted Su Xing. They had met before, but they were not familiar with each other. This time, everything would be different.
"Sister," Mu Beiming began.
"Call me 'Sister'!" Su Xing interrupted promptly. "I share a bond like siblings with your sister, and we are the same age. I acknowledge you as my younger brother! But don't think you can call me anything else! Sister won't agree!"
"Pfft, Sister is mighty!"
Mu Beiming realized he really wanted to laugh, but he felt a slight hesitation about mocking his good brother. In the end, he could only smooth things over: "Hehe, you're both younger brothers! Whether you call her 'Sister' or 'Sister-in-law,' it’s all the same, hehe."
Except for Shen Jingyu, the three of them laughed.
The interlude passed, and the banquet began on time. He, another ace assistant under Shen Jingyu, was the host for today’s event. He spoke passionately on stage, highlighting Shen Jingyu's past achievements, but the main character appeared distracted.
This was because Shen Jingyu was coaxing his sister.
"Don’t hold my hand so tightly! So many people are watching you! What kind of situation is this?!"
One of Su Xing's hands was held by Shen Jingyu's fingertips while her other hand subtly moved to pry his fingers apart without drawing attention. To others, this scene looked like a display of affectionate intimacy.
In a moment of good spirits, Shen Jingyu said, "You are my wife; it's normal for me to kiss you in public!"
"Who the hell admitted that?!" Su Xing retorted. "Have you developed delusions?"
"Maybe. I've been imagining it for a long time—that your body and heart will belong to me for this lifetime."
Su Xing's grip on his hand quietly loosened. His words stirred memories within her; however, past events felt like a dream. Even if they couldn’t truly forget, it didn’t mean they could return to what once was.
Su Xing's momentary silence caused Shen Jingyu to sink into his own emotions as well. He could fully sense Su Xing's reservations, but at the same time, he would no longer ignore the deep affection she held for him.
Once naive and unaware, Shen Jingyu had always regarded Su Xing's sacrifices as mere kindness. However, he gradually realized that the memories of her love were vivid reminders that they were worth protecting. Unfortunately, he had returned too late, and time, along with separation, had ultimately hurt her deeply.
If it weren't for the immense crisis facing Su Xing now, she might not even have had the chance to come back. Opportunities and dangers coexisted; he only hoped he could manage everything well this time.
"Next, let us warmly welcome the new president of Shen Group and its heir, Shen Jingyu, to say a few words!"
Amidst the applause, everyone turned their attention to Shen Jingyu and Su Xing.
Together! Shen Jingyu insisted on holding Su Xing's hand. Yet, she was resolute in her refusal; if she stepped onto that stage today, Shen Jingyu would become the laughingstock of the entire city!
"Shen Jingyu, if you really make me accompany you and embarrass myself today, I will ensure you can never contact me again!"
Her voice was loud enough for Shen Jingyu to hear clearly amidst the clapping.
Su Xing's threat was serious. Although Shen Jingyu possessed more than enough capability to ensure Su Xing would not disappear from his world, he would never act recklessly at her expense. Just like now, his first step in pursuing her was learning to accommodate her feelings.
But his way of accommodating was rather awkward.
"Excuse me, my fiancée is a bit shy, so let me say a few words here."
Some people had a presence that made wherever they stood feel like the center of attention. In an instant, Shen Jingyu and Su Xing found themselves surrounded in a circle.
At that moment, Su Xing felt utterly helpless.
As for the grandiose words Shen Jingyu spoke next, she could no longer absorb any of it! Her mind raced with thoughts of how his reputation might suffer because of her, leading to a crisis for Shen Group or incurring immeasurable losses for him. How would she cope then?!
A few moments later, the banquet continued as usual. As the crowd dispersed, Mu Beiyao nudged Su Xing's shoulder playfully. "Bao Er, you’ve gone viral today! Trending all over the internet—Shen Group is getting a female master!"
"What?" Su Xing's eyes widened in shock like a startled deer as she quickly pulled out her phone while muttering to herself about what else had been said.
Before Mu Beiyao could continue gossiping, Shen Jingyu shot her a cold glance and swiftly snatched Su Xing's phone from her hand. "There's no need to look at those trivial news articles; Luo Hao will release accurate information through official channels."
Su Xing frowned and questioned him sternly, "Shen Jingyu, what on earth is going on with you? You were never this impulsive before; why have you changed so drastically since returning?"
I have been too weak and unable to provide you with a sky of your own. And now, what is there to say? Is it a relentless advance, a tightening grip, an aggressive stance? Is this really the culmination of your efforts over the years?
What makes you think I would like someone like you? You are far too arrogant!
Su Xing's words struck hard. Even Mu Beiyao, who was watching from the sidelines, felt that she had gone too far.
Yet Shen Jingyu merely lowered his gaze for a moment, quickly suppressing all his emotions. In an almost coaxing tone, he looked sincerely into Su Xing's eyes and said, "Star, I will change any habit you dislike, except for one—marrying you. That will never change."
Su Xing stared deeply at Shen Jingyu and shook her head. "You are simply unrecognizable in your sudden transformation."
Shen Jingyu replied, "Let me tell you, this world is vast. Wanting to marry you is my right; not marrying is my choice. You can toy with love as you wish, but my decisions are not up for discussion. Take care of yourself."
Su Xing withdrew her hand from Shen Jingyu's grasp. However, just as she turned to leave, another imposing figure blocked her path.
At any gathering in the city, the renowned Du Zi could not be absent.
Clap, clap, clap—Du Meng's applause echoed through the venue, drawing the attention of all the business elites present who eagerly leaned in to hear what would come next.
"President Shen and Sister A Xing are truly putting on a show of deep affection!"
No wonder last night President Shen declared he would definitely marry Sister A Xing; it seems he was well-prepared! Given the scale of this event, Sister A Xing had no reason to refuse!
It's a classic case of sour grapes from those who can't have what they desire.
"Trouble you to remember me, Du Zi; I truly cannot refuse!"
Su Xing's inability to refuse was not meant in the same way as Du Meng suggested, but to some ears, it sounded like a display of greed for fame and fortune.
Shen Jingyu tolerated Du Meng for the moment; after all, it was he who had blocked Su Xing's attempt to escape just now.
"Hmph! Then I wish Sister A Xing prosperity in both wealth and happiness until that family member returns. I hope you can still smile as brightly as you do now."
What riddle was Du Meng trying to hint at? Su Xing had already ignored what he said about the Zhan Family Member last night, yet today he continued to imply something about himself.
