"Shen Mo…"
Xia Yuan's low cry of surprise attracted the attention of the others in the hall. Everyone looked at Xia Yuan.
"Very good! Your cry has successfully attracted the attention of others.”Shen Mo's lips curled into a cold smile.
Actually, when had he ever thought of doing this to her? He just wanted her to see Shen Hanxun's true colors and stop being so stubborn.
Faced with the gaze that was directed at her, Xia Yuan subconsciously hid behind Shen Mo. Her cheeks were flushed red and hot. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at the people around her.
Xia Yuan was dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans. She was completely out of place in this luxurious banquet. Even if she didn't look at the others, she could still feel the elite light that they were projecting.
Shen Mo held her hand tightly and did not let go. His eyes were searching for Shen Hanxun's location.
Shen Hanxun had already noticed them when they entered the banquet hall. His deep eyes were suddenly filled with displeasure.
"Shen Mo…can we go back?”Xia Yuan was still using a pleading tone, trying to make Shen Mo change his mind.
Jiang Caina was also a little surprised when she saw this couple appear. Moreover, they were dressed in such a way that people who did not know better would think that they were here to cause trouble!
"Isn't this Xiao Mo?" Jiang Caina chuckled, and a smile appeared on her exquisite face.
When she was in the Shen family, she had met Shen Mo. Shen Tianao had introduced him to her very seriously. It was obvious that this person was important to Shen Tianao. But this girl behind Shen Mo?
He seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Jiang Caina's enthusiasm did not arouse Shen Mo's enthusiasm. He glared at her coldly and walked straight to Shen Hanxun, who was behind her. Jiang Caina's hot face went to Shen Mo's cold butt, and her face instantly darkened. She hid her anger…
Shen Mo pulled Xia Yuan and threw her in front of Shen Hanxun." You should have a lot to ask him!”There was a strong sense of disdain in his tone as he looked at Xia Yuan, cursing her in his heart for being disappointing.
Shen Hanxun returned to his cold expression, and his eyes darted between Shen Mo and Xia Yuan's faces, as if he was waiting to see what kind of tricks they would play.
She wanted to ruin his engagement party? Shen Hanxun's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
Xia Yuan was pulled by Shen Mo. She was so close to Shen Hanxun that she could hear his steady heartbeat clearly.
What did she have to ask him? Firstly, she didn't have it, and secondly, she didn't have the qualifications. Xia Yuan took two steps back to put some distance between her and Shen Hanxun. Her lips opened and closed, not knowing what to say. What else could she say in such an awkward situation?
Unknowingly, a sour feeling welled up in his chest. It was sour and slightly painful.
"Congratulations."
In the end, she managed to squeeze out these three words from her throat.
The voice was so low that only she could hear it, but Shen Hanxun heard it!
Shen Mo was shocked by Xia Yuan's words! After the shock, a contemptuous look appeared on his face!
Xia Yuan, you're such a hypocrite! She was clearly heartbroken, yet she still smiled and congratulated Shen Hanxun! This scene was no different from the crappy plots in television dramas!
But what about himself? Wasn't he just as hypocritical? He clearly cared about her and didn't want to see her get hurt, but he desperately wanted to pull her over to see the truth…
Jiang Caina looked at the scene from the side and was confused.
Who was this woman? What does it have to do with Shen Hanxun? This " congratulations " should have come from Shen Mo's mouth, but it was said by this woman. How could this be?
She had thought that Shen Hanxun would say something sarcastic, but he didn't. Instead, he said," Thank you."
However, this thank you was like a huge rock weighing down on Xia Yuan's body. She could not breathe, and her body was so heavy that it was about to collapse.
Shen Mo suddenly grabbed Xia Yuan's wrist and said sternly in her ear," Don't you know what you're doing now? Fine, I'll question him on your behalf.”
Hearing this, Xia Yuan's pale face became even more anxious. In a moment of desperation, she rushed into Shen Mo's arms, trying to stop him.
" Shen Mo..." She looked up at Shen Mo, her eyes filled with tears. Her pitiful expression made Shen Mo's chest tighten, and he could not squeeze out a word for a long time.
Xia Yuan took the opportunity to congratulate Jiang Caina." Congratulations, I wish you happiness.”
Her tearful eyes were filled with a smile that was determined to give her blessings, but that smile was so fake that it made one's heart ache.
Shen Hanxun's indifferent expression quickly turned cold.
Shen Mo's grip on Xia Yuan's hand loosened, and Xia Yuan held him instead." Let's go."”
Her footsteps seemed very firm to outsiders, but only she knew how heavy it was! It was as heavy as lead and could fall at any moment…
The moment she turned around, the tears that filled her eyes fell in an uproar. Xia Yuan's heart felt as if it was being torn apart.
She had loved the man for nearly ten years. No matter how cruel and ruthless he was, she had fantasized countless times about being with him. However, these fantasies were ultimately just fantasies…
This time, Shen Mo did not make things difficult for her and followed her.
He really saw the pain in Xia Yuan's eyes! He seemed to be able to empathize with her pain.
"Shen Mo, since you're here, you should wait until the banquet is over before leaving! It didn't seem appropriate to be in such a hurry.”Jiang Caina noticed the surprised and suspicious gazes of the guests beside her, so she stopped them before Shen Mo walked out.
"Who is this woman? Such a miserable appearance, as if she was an abandoned wife?”
A lady among the guests voiced her doubts, and the commotion caused the other women to respond.
"That's right, it can't be Shen Hanxun's mistress, right?”
Another person replied, his gaze sweeping all over Xia Yuan's body.
"It doesn't look like it, right? Even if he wanted to find a kept woman, he had to find a good one! This dry figure made men lose their appetite!”
"You don't understand! Some men just like the slim type! This is called radish and cabbage, each has his own love, understand?”
The guests 'wives whispered to each other, and every word entered the four people's ears. It was as if they were watching a good show...
Xia Yuan was so shy that she couldn't raise her head. Jiang Caina glanced at Xia Yuan with a serious expression, but Shen Hanxun was quite calm. These words didn't mean anything to him at all. After staring at Xia Yuan's face for a long time, he said," Caina is right. Since you're here, you should wait until the banquet is over before leaving. Otherwise, how can you show your sincerity?"”#
