Mu Ning did not want to say a word to this person. He was obviously a rich playboy!
She turned around and was about to leave, but just as she took a step forward, her hand was pulled back by the person behind her. Mu Ning could not help but fly into a rage. She hated Wang Yelin even more. "Take your hands off me!"
People were already paying attention to them. Mu Ning did not want any more accidents to happen, so she struggled with all her might. However, she could not shake off the force this time. After all, there was a natural difference in strength between girls and boys.
She regretted coming tonight!
Song Yuxi sat in the VIP seat that belonged to him. There was a faint smile on her lips. The golden light shone on his body, making it seem as if there was a thin layer of light around him.
He had a handsome face and a tall and slender figure. His entire body emitted a charming, elegant, mysterious, and evil aura. Even though he was just sitting quietly on the chair, he was still like a glowing object, attracting the gazes of countless women present.
Song Yuxi gently swirled the red wine in her glass as she looked at Wang Yelin, who was still pestering Mu Ning. Her brown eyes were as calm as a lake without any ripples.
No one could tell what he was thinking at this moment!
He didn't seem to have any intention of helping his dance partner tonight. Instead, he looked on with interest as if he was watching a show.
It was none of his business. He was just bored and looking for a way to pass the time. He was in a good mood when he saw Shen Mu Ning's anxious expression. Moreover, someone would come out and save the damsel in distress. Why not enjoy such a classic scene?
Sure enough, just as Mu Ning was about to lose her patience, a boy appeared. He reached out and pulled Mu Ning into his arms. He lowered his head and whispered something into her ear. Then, he looked up and said something to Wang Yelin.
The person who appeared was not Chu Hanyi, which was out of his expectation. He thought that Chu Hanyi would rush over at once. After all, Chu Hanyi was very possessive of Shen Muning.
This boy…Oh, he remembered now. He seemed to be Shen Muning's good friend Yiyi's male companion. He had seen him at the entrance of the salon.
He shifted his gaze down slightly and saw the arm that was hugging Mu Ning's slender waist tightly. He suddenly felt a little displeased. That slender waist, that beautiful feeling, should only belong to him!
Song Yuxi's eyes turned cold and her body emitted a chill. A few girls were about to approach the handsome man, but when they were a few steps away from Song Yuxi, they suddenly shivered. When she looked up at him again, her brown eyes were as cold as ice. It was as if she would be frozen if she met his gaze. It made her feel timid and did not dare to take another step closer.
Song Yuxi ignored her displeasure and turned to look at the other side. Chu Hanyi was surrounded by a group of women with a pale face. He couldn't get away from them, and his angry eyes were fixed on Mu Ning.
No wonder. If it weren't for the fact that the organizer was the Chu family, he would have thrown away the women around him without any regard for his manners.
"Sorry, I have something urgent to attend to.”Chu Hanyi's patience had been worn out by the noisy women around him. He pushed the woman away and strode towards Mu Ning.
On the other side, Xu Rui was hugging Mu Ning's slender waist intimately as he glared at Wang Yelin angrily. "Please stop harassing my girlfriend!”
"Your girlfriend?" Wang Yelin was stunned for a moment before he reacted and laughed out loud. He did not believe Xu Rui's words at all. "Who are you lying to? If she's your girlfriend, then why is she someone else's dance partner?”Wang Yelin had been paying attention to Mu Ning ever since she entered the venue, so he knew that her dance partner was not Xu Rui.
Xu Rui choked. He was stumped by Wang Yelin's words.
Chu Hanyi walked quickly towards Mu Ning, his face full of anger. What was this woman doing? How could she let two men hug her so casually! He could tolerate Song Yuxi since she was his dance partner tonight. But who was this man now? He was so angry when he saw his hand holding Mu Ning's waist tightly. He wished he could chop his hand off!
This restless woman, he must lock her firmly by his side in the future and not let her leave even half a step. Otherwise, she would definitely go around fooling around!
He didn't know when it started, but his desire to monopolize her had become so strong. But it didn't matter. From the moment she met him that night, she was destined to be his, so he wouldn't allow any man to have any ideas about her!
Before this, he might have had some doubts, but now he was completely sure that he had fallen in love with her!
" Ah--" Chu Hanyi heard a scream and a figure fell towards him.
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong?" Chu Han saw that it was An Jiaqi who fell to him, so he stopped and held her up.
" It hurts..." An Jiaqi's face was deathly pale. Her eyes were filled with tears as if she was trying to hold back something.
"There? Did you sprain your ankle?" Chu Hanyi looked at An Jiaqi's trembling ankle and asked anxiously.
" Ugh…It hurts…" An Jiaqi put all her weight on Chu Hanyi. Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and her pale face looked pitiful.
The pain from her ankle made An Jiaqi's tears fall. She had been pampered by her parents since she was young. It was rare for her to even catch a cold, let alone get injured. This time, in order to delay Chu Hanyi, she deliberately hurt her ankle. She knew that her acting skills were not good, so she pretended that Chu Hanyi would see it at a glance. It would be counterproductive.
An Jiaqi had been a lovable and obedient girl since she was young. Everyone said that she was obedient, sensible, gentle, and polite. She was very liked by the elders in the family. The Chu family and the An family were old friends. An Jiaqi often came to the Chu family to stay, and she had a good relationship with Chu Hanyi. Chu Hanyi had always loved her and treated her like his sister.
"Bear with it. I'll call the doctor to take a look at you immediately.”Seeing that An Jiaqi had sprained her ankle so badly, Chu Hanyi had no choice but to put Mu Ning's matter aside. He picked An Jiaqi up and walked to the hotel lounge.
Mu Ning quietly watched Chu Hanyi carry An Jiaqi out of the venue. Her face was calm, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Other than Yiyi, she had never cared about anyone else's affairs. However, at this moment, she was a little curious. Who was that An Jiaqi?
"Young Master Xu, I'm going to drink some juice." Feeling a little annoyed, Mu Ning removed Xu Rui's hand from her waist and walked toward the dining table. Perhaps drinking something cold would calm him down a little.
Mu Ning picked up the fruit juice that had been poured on the dining table and mixed it with a few ice cubes. She then drank it in one gulp.
The ice-cold fruit juice slid down her throat and into her stomach. The ice-cold feeling lessened Mu Ning's annoyance a little and calmed her mind.
She hoped that the banquet would end soon. She did not want to stay here anymore. She was really not used to it.
At that moment, a waiter passed Mu Ning with a tray of red wine. "Ah!" With a scream, the waiter slipped and fell backward. The tray in his hand fell to the ground, and the red wine glass shattered, spilling red wine all over the ground.
In his panic, the waiter reached out to grab Mu Ning, but he did not manage to grab her hand. Instead, he grabbed the ribbon that was tied into a bow behind Mu Ning's back.
Hiss! The sound of fabric tearing could be heard. The ribbon on the back of Mu Ning's gown could not withstand the sudden and violent pull, and the seams were torn apart!
"Ah!" Mu Ning screamed in horror. The ribbon tied at the back broke, and the gown fell off immediately.
"Hiss!" "Ha!" Gasps could be heard everywhere, and everyone stared at Mu Ning.
Mu Ning hugged her chest as if she had been electrocuted and squatted down. She was so embarrassed that her eyes were filled with tears. Fortunately, when she changed into her gown at the salon, she insisted on wearing a corset. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would break down immediately.
Countless mocking, gloating, sympathetic, and disdainful gazes came from all directions. Some whispered, some couldn't help but laugh, and some turned around…but no one was willing to help her.
Tears rolled down her cheeks silently. Mu Ning hugged herself tightly and buried her face in her chest. A strong sense of shame welled up in her heart, and she trembled all over. She felt terrified and helpless, just like when her uncle had chased her away back then. The neighbors around her only looked at her coldly…
"All of you, close your eyes!" A loud roar suddenly rang out from the silent crowd, followed by a bone-piercing cold air. Many people present couldn't help but shiver, and some timid ones even closed their eyes in fear.
Mu Ning felt a warmth on her shoulder. Someone had put a coat on her.
"Why are you crying?" Song Yuxi's cold voice rang above Mu Ning's head. Before she could raise her head, she was pulled into an embrace.
"I'm not crying." His voice was nasal, and he was obviously trying to be brave.
"Wipe your tears away." His voice was still cold and devoid of any warmth. Tears were a sign of weakness. If one was not strong, why should others sympathize with them?
Mu Ning did not reply. She merely raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
"Little Yanyan, are you alright?" Xu Rui finally reacted and rushed over.
Mu Ning pretended not to hear him.
"Ning-Ning!" Yiyi rushed over and grabbed Mu Ning's arm with a worried expression.
"I'm fine." Mu Ning lifted her head from Song Yuxi's embrace. Her red and swollen eyes could not fool anyone.
"Go get some clothes immediately." Song Yuxi said coldly to Yiyi.
"Oh, right away!" Yiyi hurriedly nodded, turned around, and quickly walked out of the venue.
Song Yuxi's brown eyes flashed coldly. Her sharp gaze was directed at the pale waiter who was sitting on the floor, unable to get up. His thin lips slowly spat out a few words,"Who ordered it?"
