On the way, Shen Muxi's face was gloomy, and Cheng drawing naturally ignored him. He turned on his mobile phone and began to read today's news.
The banquet was held at Stare Hotel. When the car stopped at the gate of Stare Hotel, Cheng drawing looked at the magnificent hotel gate in front of her. A wave of heat gradually hit her little face, and her cheeks turned red.
She and Shen Muchen started in this hotel...
She tilted her head and stole a glance at Shen Muxi, just in time to meet his mocking gaze.
"What's wrong? Do you still remember it?" Shen Muxi took revenge on the dress just now.
"I'm bored!" Cheng drawing pulled open the seat belt, pushed the door open, and got out of the car. He walked quickly into the hotel.
Because she rarely wore such high-heeled shoes and walked very fast, she almost fell to the ground when she lost her balance. Shen Muxi was so happy that he caught her quickly and took her into his arms.
"In terms of quality..." Shen Muxi whispered in her ear.
Cheng drawing thought of what LI had told him. He slowed down and put his hands around Shen Muxi's arm as an elegant and beautiful female companion.
The banquet hall was on the second floor. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, there was a spiral staircase connected to a garden on the first floor. The whole venue looked spacious and magnificent. When Shen Muxi and Cheng drawing walked in, there were already a large number of men and women in the venue.
The invited guests were all rich and powerful nobles, and the organizers were government officials, so the invited guests would basically not be absent.
Cheng drawing imitated Shen Mu Xi and took a glass of red wine from the waiter's hand. She looked around and began to search carefully for a figure. As she expected, Lin Yuan and Feng Jing were present at the banquet tonight. At this time, they were holding hands and chatting happily with a middle-aged man.
She not only saw Lin Yuan and Feng Jing, but also saw Lin Ting. Lin Ting, who had once wanted to whip her to death, was holding a young man who looked gentle and lovely with a faint smile.
Cheng drawing deliberately searched for Lin Yuan, not because he missed him, but because he found their position and tried his best to avoid meeting them. Especially Lin Ting, if she saw that he was attending the banquet with Shen Muchen, she would be so angry that she would lose her composure.
While she was in a trance, Cheng drawing felt a warm wind blowing by her ear. She was shocked and turned her head, only to find that Shen Muchen was looking at her with an unhappy face.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"This is Deputy Mayor Lin's wife. She's greeting you." Shen Muxi smiled and pointed at the fat middle-aged woman opposite him.
Cheng drawing quickly bowed and said, "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Lin."
"Hello, the skirt is very beautiful." The mayor's wife glanced at her and her smile was a little stiff. After saying this, she passed by the two of them. Obviously, she was pissed off by her disrespect just now.
As soon as the mayor's wife left, the faint smile on Shen Mu Xi's face disappeared instantly. He squeezed the big palm around Cheng drawing's waist hard and said coldly in her ear, "Now is not the time to cut off all ties with my ex-husband. Be careful."
Cheng drawing's face turned red. Just as he was about to defend himself, he was interrupted by Gu Zihao, who was walking toward him.
"Xiao Tu, when did you arrive? I was just about to call you." Shi Yi walked up with a smile. When he saw the light blue dress on her body, he frowned and said, "It's blue again. My dear, do you have any other colors other than blue? Are you tired, right, Young Master Murong?"
She turned her eyes and stopped at Shen Muxi's face.
Shen Mu Xi turned his head and glanced at Cheng drawing. Did she only like blue? He really didn't know. No wonder she insisted on this skirt so much.
Shi Yi turned to look at Shen Muxi and unceremoniously grabbed his tie with his little hand and pulled it hard. He said in a warning tone, "Master Murong, Xiao Tu is my best friend. If you dare to bully her, I will be the first to not let you off. Do you remember?"
"Remember," Shen Muxi replied with a dark face.
"It's best if you really remember it." She loosened her fingers and let go of him.
Cheng drawing looked at the dark side of Shen Muchen's face and signaled him not to make a fuss with his eyes.
"Will Shen Muxi listen to Miss Shi? Don't be so naive!"
Gu Zihao, who was standing next to them, looked at Shen Muxi and Cheng drawing and said with a smile, "Dear, don't worry. Young Master Murong loves his wife very much. He won't let her suffer a little." He deliberately emphasized the words 'I love you very much', and his smile was full of sarcasm.
Only Shen Muxi and Cheng drawing could understand the mystery of it.
Cheng drawing deliberately pretended to be silly and smiled. He wondered why this man did this. Did he do this for Shen Muchen or her? It was better not to be anyone. This strange and dangerous man!
She stole a glance at Shen Muxi and found that the smile on his face was also as fake as if he was wearing a mask. His words were also very dramatic. "Of course, I love everything that belongs to me. No one can take it away from me."
While saying this, he tightened his arms around her waist and deliberately hugged her.
Cheng drawing finally felt the tension between the two men, but she did not know what kind of love and hatred there was between them. Even if she knew, it was none of her business, wasn't it? So it was the wisest choice to continue to pretend to be stupid at this moment.
Fortunately, new members had joined in at this time. It was Ye Nansi, who smelled the smell of gunpowder from a distance. He smiled and looked at the two of them, saying, "You're really early. Why don't you go to the VIP room for a drink?" Then he looked up and down at the female companions beside them and praised, "Tonight, there are really many beautiful women, especially the two in front of you."
"You have good taste." Shi Yi gave Ye Nansi a thumbs-up and smiled charmingly.
While the men were talking about business and finance, Cheng drawing Shi Yi came to a corner of the banquet hall. He used his chin to point at Gu Zihao, who was not far away, and whispered, "Are you still dating him?"
"Of course. I told you I'm serious." Shi Yi took a sip of juice.
"Do you know that he is serious?"
"If he wasn't serious, he wouldn't have taken me to the party, would he?" Shi Yi pointed to himself with a smile. "Look, if he wasn't serious, he wouldn't have spent so much money on a business worth millions of yuan."
"It's just a million yuan..."
Cheng drawing was speechless. He really wanted to tell her that Gu Zihuan's breakup fee with another woman was a Bugatti sports car.
"But I always feel that you are very dangerous like this."
"You're here again." She couldn't stand it and rolled her eyes. "You've said that many times. I'm tired of it. Let's go to the bathroom!"
Shi Yi pulled Cheng drawing towards the toilet. Due to his quick movements, Cheng drawing lost his balance and fell on a man.
Cheng drawing thought that he would fall down in embarrassment, but he didn't expect that his body would be held steadily by someone in his arms, followed by a familiar masculine breath around his nose.
Lin Yuan, she knew it was him even without raising her head. She was too familiar with this man.
"I'm sorry." She wanted to withdraw from his arm, but his arm was as tight as a steel ring, trapping her tightly.
Cheng drawing was stunned. When he raised his head, he met his deep, well-like gaze.
She hadn't seen such a look in Lin Yuan's eyes for three years. Why did he show it to her today when she was already a married woman?
Did he regret it in less than two months? No, how could he regret it? Feng Jing, who was dressed in a loose dress, was standing beside him with a pair of sons in her arms.
"Yuan, let's hurry over." Feng Jing glanced at Cheng drawing with an unhappy expression as she tugged at Lin Yuan's other arm.
Lin Yuan merely moved his arm and did not let go.
"Let go of me!" Cheng drawing scolded him in a low voice.
Although she and Lin Yuan did not make any big noise, there were many onlookers. Lin Ting, who had been pestering Shen Muxi, even pulled him here to watch the fun.
On the other hand, Shen Muxi's handsome face tensed up for the first time tonight.
"Cousin, I remember... you brought this woman here, didn't you?" Lin Ting looked at Cheng drawing, who was held in Lin Yuan's arms, and said sarcastically, "You have divorced my brother for such a long time, and my brother has a wife and children. How can you still pester him like this? You are really shameless."
"She wasn't brought here by me." Shen Muxi said coldly, then turned around and walked out of the crowd.
"Alas, I'm so dragged. I don't want my skirt to be torn apart!" She impatiently stepped forward and squatted behind Cheng drawing. With one hand, she grabbed Cheng drawing's waist skirt, while with the other hand, she grabbed the cuff of Lin Yuan's skirt and pulled it hard, but she still didn't pull it away.
It turned out that the sleeves were hooked on the skirt. The girls who were watching turned and left boringly. Cheng drawing was also surprised. He turned his head and looked at his back, but he couldn't see anything.
"By the way, the quality of your dress is really good. You spent a lot of money on it, didn't you?" Shi Yi deliberately pulled it while muttering, "It seems that I have to bring scissors."
"Waiter, could you please bring me a pair of scissors?" Shi Yi waved at a passing waiter.
Soon, the waiter brought the scissors.
"Let me do it." Lin Yuan took the scissors, changed a pair of scissors, squatted beside Cheng drawing's feet, and carefully cut off his sleeves. He did not cut off Cheng drawing's skirt, but chose to cut off his cuffs.
"Let's go to the bathroom and take off the skirt." Lin Yuan put the scissors back in the waiter's hand and tidied up his sleeves that lacked a piece of cloth.
Shi Yi looked at the cuffs hanging on Cheng drawing's waist and then at Lin Yuan's handsome face. He said sarcastically, "Young Master Lin, you don't have to be so sacrificial. It's just a skirt. Shen Muxi can afford it."
"You can afford it, but you can't walk around the party in a hole in your dress, can you?" Lin Yuan retorted.
"Let's go." Cheng drawing the intention to go mad and walked towards the washroom.
"You disgusting stinky man!" Shi Yi did not forget to say these words to Lin Yuan before he left. Lin Yuan, on the other hand, was extremely gentlemanly. He did not even change his expression. On the other hand, Feng Jing and Lin Ting, who were standing to the side, were so angry that they jumped on the spot.
In the bathroom, it took him a long time to remove the button from Cheng drawing's skirt. He threw the button to the sink and said disdainfully, "It can be seen from this button that Lin's Group will definitely close down in a few days. As the president of Lin's Group, he has been trying to make trouble everywhere in the city with such a low-quality button!"
The sleeve button that was deliberately thrown out rolled around on the sink and stopped in a corner alone.
The cuff was indeed worthless and the style was not novel, but... the more she looked at it, the more familiar Cheng drawing felt. She reached out and pulled back the button and flipped it between her fingers.
She had given it to Lin Yuan. That year, she had just entered Grace and received her first salary in her life. In order to express her gratitude, she had taken it back from Japan.
Although the material was worthless, the pattern on it was very meaningful, and the price was not cheap at all for her at that time.
However, she did not understand why Lin Yuan did not throw it away. Instead, he was wearing it to attend the banquet tonight.
There were a lot of buttons on Lin Yuan's sleeves. They were gold, silver, diamond, jade, and so on. Why did he wear them on his own?
"What are you doing? Are you still reluctant to part with his things? Cheng drawing, can you be a little more successful?" As she was putting on makeup, she noticed that Lin Yuan was so reluctant to part with her sleeves that she glared at her grumpily.
Cheng drawing handed the button in his hand to her. "Yi, don't you think this button looks familiar at all?"
Hearing her question, Shi Yi took the button and looked at it. He looked up at her and said, "I don't think so."
"You bought it from Japan for me and gave it to Lin Yuan."
"Ah..." Shi Yi opened his mouth and exclaimed. He looked through the button of his sleeve again and then nodded. "According to what you said, it seems to be the pair I bought for you."
"What do you think Lin Yuan means?" Cheng drawing was speechless.
"What's the point of that?" She deliberately threw the buttons back into her hands and continued to tidy up her makeup in the heavy mirror. She said, "I couldn't remember the buttons even if I bought them myself, let alone that heartless Lin Yuan. He was just in a hurry to attend the banquet, so he took a pair of buttons from the jewelry box and walked with them. Or Feng Jing, that bitch, thought that these buttons were very unique, so she put them on Lin Yuan's clothes with her own hands."
Shi Yi turned his head and looked at Cheng drawing, who was in a daze. "Dear, you don't think that Lin Yuan still has feelings for you, so you put on the cuff that you gave him when you saw things and missed him, do you?"
"How is that possible?" Cheng drawing sneered.
Lin Yuan had no feelings for her for a long time. How could he have feelings for her pair of buttons?
Shi Yi was right. Lin Yuan had so many sleeves, how could he remember the source of every pair? It must be like what Shi Yi said, when he was in a hurry, he picked it out of the jewelry box, or Feng Jing personally helped him to pack it up.
"It's best if you really don't think so. Otherwise, I will look down on you." She deliberately packed up her handbag and said, "Let's go out."
