After a few days, although there was no longer any unhappiness between them, and Xin Chulian tried her best to satisfy Shangguan Jianyang, he no longer forced her to do so.
Shangguan Jianyang's domineering and demanding attitude was unshakable. She could only be careful and try not to make him angry.
Xin Chulian, who had been used to seeing people's expressions since she was young, knew very well that if she wanted Shangguan Jianyang to be in a good mood every day, it was best not to disobey him.
The pregnancy she was worried about no longer existed because the young master had said so. Mei Sen had also given her some medicine and taught her how to take it carefully.
She had been in much better spirits these days. Moreover, she no longer needed to work, and her physical strength had recovered very quickly.
That night, she was forcefully escorted by Shangguan Jianyang to a clothing store to choose clothes.
Xin Chulian had never been to such a high-end clothing store before. She was so nervous that she did not dare to touch anything in the store. She was afraid that her clumsy hands would break something.
She couldn't afford anything in the shop.
She did not understand why the young master had brought her here. She was wearing a very ordinary one-piece dress that cost less than 1,000 yuan. Compared to the clothes here that cost more than 10,000 yuan, it was really shabby.
The shop assistant recognized Shangguan Jianyang and immediately greeted him warmly.
"Young Master Shangguan, long time no see.”The people of the Shangguan family were all regular customers of this clothing store. Although Shangguan Jianyang had not returned for a long time, the people in the store could still recognize him at a glance.
In fact, there were very few people who had seen Shangguan Jianyang but had forgotten him. His extraordinary temperament and charming appearance were unforgettable.
Xin Chulian did not make a sound from the beginning to the end, and the shop assistant did not pay much attention to her. When she heard the shop assistant ask if Shangguan Jianyang was here to buy clothes, she realized that he was here to buy clothes.
The strange thing was, why did she come? He asked Mei Sen to stay in the car, but she was taken out of the car for no reason.
"She didn't choose me. She chose her." When Shangguan Jianyang pointed at her, she thought her heart was about to stop.
Help her buy clothes?
" No, Young Master, I don't need it…" Xin Chulian shook her head and even used her hands. She stuttered to tell Shangguan Jianyang that she didn't need it.
"Don't talk back!" He had already ordered her to stop calling him Young Master, but she could not change her mind. In her mind, he was the Shangguan family's Young Master Shangguan.
Xin Chulian sensed his displeasure because Shangguan Jianyang wanted her to call his name, but she only called him that when they were alone. Although he did not force her to do so, he usually warned her angrily.
On the contrary, he had started calling her name after that time. When he called her Lian 'er, she realized that her heart was filled with joy, as if she was being cared for by her lover.
Shangguan Jianyang's eyes flashed once again, and she did not dare to resist, so she did not say anything else.
"Her? Aiya, how could I forget that I have a little guest?”The shop assistant said in an uncomfortable teasing tone.
Xin Chulian frowned. She knew that she did not look like a woman. Even though she had become a real woman, she still exuded a fresh, pure innocence. Moreover, she was only eighteen years old and was still a girl who had not truly matured. No wonder the shop assistant said that.
"Help me choose a few sets of clothes for her.”Shangguan Jianyang casually sat on a nearby sofa.
"Alright."
The shop assistant was not very friendly as she led her to choose clothes one by one.
After picking out a few clothes with great difficulty, Shangguan Jianyang asked her to change into them immediately.
She had no choice but to obey and enter the changing room, carefully changing into those clothes.
When she changed into the new clothes one by one and stood in front of Shangguan Jianyang, his eyes showed admiration. Even the shop assistant could not help but praise her good figure. Her fair skin looked good in anything.
Even though there were a lot of compliments, it was the first time she had been judged in front of others, so she felt very uncomfortable.
Especially since she was wearing fewer and fewer clothes. Other than accentuating her figure, it also showed her delicate skin to others.
On the other hand, she only wanted to escape his gaze helplessly and worriedly. It was not easy for him to look away in satisfaction before she could escape back to the changing room.
When she rushed into the changing room and was about to take off her expensive clothes, someone suddenly hugged her from behind.
"Ah!" She screamed in fear.
She realized that the arms that were hugging her belonged to someone she was familiar with, and she was relieved." I'll change right away."”She wanted to break free from his control, but she failed.
Shangguan Jianyang's mind was already filled with her charming and graceful figure, so he couldn't help but follow her into the changing room.
"It's okay. You can change." His lips landed on her ear and gently rubbed against it.
"Young Master…please…let go!”There were still people outside. How could he be so bold to treat her?
What would the people outside think?
Her hands were trembling and she wanted to take off her clothes, but he stopped her.
"I'm not changing. You'll accompany me to a banquet later.”
He helped her button her clothes and led her out of the changing room. He instructed the shop assistant to send the other clothes to the Shangguan family and left with her.
Their silhouettes made the eyes of the other customers light up. Everyone's gaze fell on them, but Xin Chulian did not understand what the gazes of others meant.
However, when she saw the smile in Shangguan Jianyang's eyes, she understood that he was very happy at this moment. Her heart also unconsciously became happy.
Xin Chulian, who had never attended any banquets, did not even have the chance to gather with her classmates and friends, let alone a banquet like this.
The people who came were all big shots. She had only seen them on television and in the newspapers.
When everyone saw Shangguan Jianyang, they all gave him the most cordial smile. She had always understood that the Shangguan family was one of the top families in Taiwan and was a very high-profile business family. However, she did not expect to be so eye-catching.
Even when she stood beside him, she seemed particularly eye-catching.
"Long time no see, Mr. Shangguan.”She didn't know the middle-aged man standing in front of her, but she had seen him on television. His name was Ding Fengzheng, an important official of the country.
There was also a beautiful young lady beside him. When the young lady saw Shangguan Jianyang, her eyes never left him, as if they were sucked by a suction cup.
Xin Chulian knew very well that this was another person who was infatuated with him. In fact, even when she woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly saw Young Master, she would also stare at him like that young lady. A successful, charismatic, and handsome man would actually fall for an unremarkable person like her…
However, her rationality would still warn her at the right time. He was the young master of the Shangguan family, and she was just a servant. When he got tired of her, she would have to leave.
She understood this very well and was mentally prepared for it. Therefore, she did not dare to have a trace of jealousy or even a trace of delusion. Although she had unknowingly let her heart be occupied by the young master and everything about him was so important to her, she could only bury this feeling in her heart. She understood that she had fallen in love with the young master, but she also knew that the young master would never fall for a lowly servant like her, so she never dared to let her eyes show her love for him.
The difference in their status was not something she could change. Moreover, the person the young master wanted to marry must be the daughter of a wealthy family. She was not worthy at all and did not dare to think about it.
" This lady is…" Ding Fengzheng had noticed her a long time ago. However, he did not take action because Shangguan Jianyang was beside him.
"Xin Chulian." There was no other introduction, only her name.
She forced herself to laugh. She couldn't embarrass Young Master, even if she was very nervous now.
"Oh, it's Miss Xin."
Xin Chulian did not know how beautiful she was at this moment. Her beauty was very refined. There was not much embellishment or gorgeous embellishment at all. She was like a piece of unpolished jade that shone brightly. There were so many men present, and most of them had noticed her. However, Shangguan Jianyang was beside her, so everyone could only look at her from afar and did not dare to approach her.
It was not that Shangguan Jianyang did not notice this situation. It was precisely because of this that he was in an abnormally bad mood the moment he entered the banquet and vented his anger on Xin Chulian.
"Right, Mister Shangguan. This is my daughter, Ding Xiuxian. You've met her before.”Ding Fengzheng politely pushed his daughter in front of him and introduced her to Shangguan Jianyang.
Shangguan Jianyang didn't want to pay attention to her, but he noticed that Xin Chulian didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face. She just stood silently beside him. Even when other women wanted to snatch him away, she remained silent and did not even show any jealousy. She made him unhappy and deliberately invited the woman he had long forgotten.
"Miss Ding, I wonder if I can invite you to dance?”
Ding Xiuxian was shocked and immediately accepted it happily. She shyly stretched out her hand, and Shangguan Jianyang slid her onto the dance floor without looking at her again.
Xin Chulian stood rooted to the ground in surprise. Was Young Master angry?
Why? Could it be that he liked that young lady? It was obvious that the rich young lady liked the young master very much.
At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts."
"Miss Xin, I wonder if you can give me some face?”
Xin Chulian hesitated. Ding Fengzheng's greedy expression annoyed her. She wanted to leave, but she did not dare to leave without permission. She looked around, hoping to see Mei Sen. She remembered that he had followed her, but why couldn't she find him?
"Miss Xin?" Ding Fengzheng called her again.
"I'm not very good at dancing."
"It doesn't matter, just shake it gently.”
Xin Chulian was afraid of making him angry, so she could only helplessly let him hug her and dance with him.
On the dance floor, it was not difficult to hear Shangguan Jianyang's laughter from time to time, as well as Miss Ding's charming laughter. It was obvious that they were having a good time.
However, she was uncomfortable. Her body was tightly hugged by Ding Fengzheng, almost sticking to his beer belly. She wanted to find a chance to break free, but she had no chance.
Ding Fengzheng kept talking. Even if he was the only one acting, he did not care.
"Miss Xin, may I ask what is your relationship with Mr. Shangguan?”Shangguan Jianyang rarely brought a female companion to a banquet, but this time, he brought such an outstanding young lady. It was difficult not to associate her with him.
Xin Chulian did not know how to answer. They were not friends or lovers. She was just his woman.
"We don't have any relationship." She said this with difficulty, and the laughter of the two people sounded in her ears again.
She was very upset. Why did Young Master bring her here and throw her to someone else? It was as if she was a burden. This made her feel inferior, so her face was always low.
"Oh, it's okay. That's great.”Ding Fengzheng's hand caressed her back ambiguously again, and he slid his hand onto her buttocks even more boldly.
Xin Chulian was shocked and said softly,""Sir, I'm sorry. I'm a little tired.”She wanted to escape, but the other party did not agree.
"It'll be over in a while. Moreover, Mr. Shangguan hasn't finished yet!”He blew into her ear, making her very uncomfortable.
In the end, she couldn't take it anymore.
Just as she was about to push Ding Fengzheng away, a familiar voice made her look up.
"Sorry, I need to borrow your dance partner." It was Mei Sen.
Seeing him in this strange place and in this strange crowd, she was instantly touched. She knew that Mei Sen had specially come to save her from this old pervert. Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared so suddenly.
But how did he know that she needed help? Had he been paying attention to her?
"What are you talking about? Our dance is not over yet.”Ding Fengzheng ignored her and pretended not to see Mei Sen.
"Mister Ding, I don't think you want to make Mister Shangguan unhappy. This young lady is very precious to Mister Shangguan.”Mei Sen threatened the other party with cold words.
Ding Fengzheng weighed the pros and cons for a moment. After glancing at her, he let go of her hand in boredom. In the end, he wanted to give her a kiss on the wrist.
"Please show some respect!" Mei Sen grabbed his hand at the right time and moved it away. It was obvious that he was angered. His voice was very low and cold.
"Who are you to Mr. Shangguan? You know him so well."
"I'm his bodyguard and I'm also responsible for Miss Xin's safety.”
Knowing his identity, Ding Fengzheng walked away sulkily. Mei Sen then helped her to a place where there was no one.
"Thank you, Mei Sen." She did not know how to thank him. He always kept her safe, and she could tell that he cared about her.
"It's nothing." Mei Sen didn't understand why the young master had thrown Xin Chulian to that old pervert. He had almost eaten her, but the young master could still pretend to be happy and dance his dance.
However, he was the only one who could tell that the young master was unhappy. The more happy the young master was, the more he was suppressing his anger. He was worried that this anger came from Xin Chulian.
"Are you alright?" He could tell that she was very pale, as if she was not feeling well.
Actually, he knew that his young master was very worried about her. His eyes would occasionally glance in her direction. When he saw that old pervert so close to her, he almost killed him with his eyes.
Young Master forbade anyone from touching Xin Chulian. Mei Sen could clearly feel that the old pervert just now had recklessly wanted to kiss her. If he hadn't moved quickly, he would have punched him without even needing to do anything.
The young master's pride was too strong, so strong that he could not lower himself to get close to the crowd, nor did he know how to protect others.
"Yes, I'll be fine after resting for a while." Actually, she was not feeling well at all. She really wanted to lie on the bed and rest. Her head hurt and she wanted to throw up. It had been like this for the past few days, making her very uncomfortable. However, she concealed it very well in front of Shangguan Jianyang, so he did not suspect anything.
Xin Chulian thought for a moment and asked,"Mei Sen, how long will it take to go back?"”She was already very tired. Although she was not as busy as she usually was, this kind of careful life was even more unbearable for her.
"Young Master." From the looks of it, the young master did not seem to have any intention of leaving.
Xin Chulian's eyes darkened. She knew that Mei Sen was Young Master's bodyguard, but she really wanted to go back.
"Can I leave first?" She boldly asked Mei Sen.
Mei Sen shook her head." It's best not to. Young Master will be unhappy."”Even if he was Young Master's trusted bodyguard, he was not sure what would happen when Young Master got angry.
Yes, if he was unhappy, he would definitely make her feel bad again. At the thought of this, her entire body could not help but tremble in fear.
For the entire night, she stayed in the corner and watched Young Master dance with the women one by one to make them happy.
During this period, there was no lack of people asking her to dance, but they were all rejected by Mei Sen.
When Shangguan Jianyang finally decided to go back, it was already past one in the morning.
Xin Chulian, who had been sitting in the car and hadn't eaten anything the entire night, was forced to drink a glass of wine by Shangguan Jianyang during the banquet. At this moment, her mental state was not very good, and her expression was getting heavier and uglier. In addition to her original discomfort, it made her dizzy.
Shangguan Jianyang also noticed that something was wrong with her. However, seeing that she was unwilling to say it, he was too lazy to ask. She was asking for it.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car wasn't very good. It was so quiet that it was scary. In the end, her head was really too uncomfortable. Moreover, the feeling of vomiting that she had suppressed kept surging, making her urgently want to breathe some fresh air.
"Mei Sen, can you roll down the window?”She told Mei Sen through the rearview mirror. Her weak smile and expression made Mei Sen roll down the window without hesitation.
"Close it!"
Shangguan Jianyang's low and sudden voice made her confused.
"I want to get some wind, Young Master." She lowered her head, not wanting him to see that she was uncomfortable.
"I don't want to be blown by the wind. Turn it off."
Before she could enjoy the breeze, the window slowly rose and Xin Chulian stopped talking.
Seeing her meek and submissive appearance, Shangguan Jianyang's anger rose to the extreme.
"Speak! Why are you unhappy?" Shangguan Jianyang's large palm that was pulling her arm shook mercilessly.
"Young Master, don't be angry." She was about to throw up.
"Who do you think you are? She's just a woman who slept with me!”What a ruthless sentence, heartless and cruel enough.
She couldn't hold it in anymore. " I'm going to throw up…" As soon as she finished speaking, she started retching.
The moment Mei Sen realized that something was wrong, she immediately stopped the car.
"What are you doing!" Shangguan Jianyang could not stop his anger from rising.
"I'm sorry." She really wanted to beg Young Master not to be angry, but she was so sad that she could not speak.
She hurriedly opened the car door. She was afraid that she would vomit in the car and dirty it, so she quickly fled outside.
Once outside the car, she squatted on the ground and spat out the filth that had teased her for the entire night. Just as she vomited until her eyes were dizzy and she thought she was about to faint, a pair of large hands patted her back gently.
Thinking that it was Mei Sen, she immediately turned around to thank him, but who knew…
It was Young Master!
"Why didn't you say that you're not feeling well?" When Shangguan Jianyang saw her get out of the car, he immediately followed her. When did she feel unwell? Was it during the banquet? Or earlier? "You don't know how to cherish yourself."
Xin Chulian only shook her head and kept retching.
Shangguan Jianyang supported her and took out a tissue to wipe her face. He realized that there were tears on her pale face.
"Are you still feeling unwell? Hurry up and tell me!" Her face was so ugly, she must be feeling unwell somewhere.
He was very anxious, and his face clearly showed worry. He himself did not understand where that anxiety came from, but it inexplicably rose in his heart.
"I…I'm fine…I'm really fine.”She was sad not because of her body, but because of her heart.
His words just now had hurt her heart, which was not strong enough to begin with, and made her self-esteem rise to the highest point for the entire night.
There were so many charming young girls at the banquet just now. They were so happy to have their parents protecting them, but what about her? She just sat there alone, looking at the scene in loneliness. She envied and imagined how it felt to be protected by someone, how happy it was.
She did not have parents. When she was five years old and came to the Shangguan family, her mother-in-law did not dote on her. She could only say that she had done her duty to bring her up. Therefore, she had been groping her way to the present. The loneliness and fear she felt was unimaginable.
After her mother-in-law left her, she had to stay in the Shangguan family as a servant because of her debt. She was often beaten and scolded by Butler Jiang or laughed at by other servants. Although her days were tough, she had always thought that one day she would leave this place and find an honest and gentle man to marry. Then, she would have a few children and live a normal and happy life.
She didn't expect that all her dreams would be shattered the moment Young Master returned.
All of this was the reason why she was crying.
Shangguan Jianyang became angrier when he saw that she was unwilling to tell him.
"Is that so? Then it's up to you whether you want to get in the car or not!" His gentleness was gone, and his broad hands left her body. He got into the car mercilessly.
Xin Chulian's face was pale. She stood up and got into the car.
Her head was still in pain, as if there were ten thousand ants crawling on it. She didn't want to open her eyes because the things in front of her kept spinning, making her even more dizzy.
Shangguan Jianyang, who was at the side, pretended not to see it and closed his eyes to rest.
As soon as they returned to the Shangguan family, he immediately asked her to get out of the car.
"Get out of the car first. Mei Sen, drive me to the Ding Family.”He planned to live up to Miss Ding's kind invitation and was prepared to have a good time with her.
Xin Chulian didn't say anything and slowly got out of the car.
When she got out of the car, the car had already driven away before she could even turn around to look.
At the same time, it also took away her heart.#
