s.h.i.+ Ze, who was wearing a white suit, took over a bouquet of roses from his a.s.sistant and walked before Qian Xun immediately.
By right, the white suit should have been extremely compatible with her white gown. However, Qian Xun was a model who was extremely tall. Coupled with her heels, she was even taller than the 175cm s.h.i.+ Ze. Under the glimmer of the dreamy lights, it somehow seemed as though they were far from a perfect match.
Qian Xun looked at s.h.i.+ Ze—he was standing upright and smiling at her, holding his hand out in wait for her.
She peered at Old Master Su who was smiling and hinting for her to go over as well. Pondering for a moment, she walked over and placed her hands around s.h.i.+ Ze’s waist.
The auspicious hour had not arrived yet, and there was still some time before the official engagement announcement. As Old Master Su made merry with his old friends who had come to congratulate, s.h.i.+ Ze and Qian Xun mingled around with his friends and greeted politely while entertaining with drinks.
Among the guests present, there were people from both the political and business scene.
People from the business world merely knew that s.h.i.+ Ze was getting engaged today, and that it was with a daughter of the Sus. Even though the name was Su Qianxun on the invitation card, they did not expect that it was THAT Qian Xun. It was only till the moment she had appeared that people started guessing at their relations.h.i.+p. But even then, they were still in much disbelief.
People of the political scene were equally surprised. They had not expected that Qian Xun was a daughter of the Su Family—she had truly hidden her background well.
Old Master Su had retired out of the scene for many years now, and for those people who did not know who he was, they were guessing at Qian Xun’s ident.i.ty.
The moment they entered, Qian Xun’s appearance had been shrouded in mystery. However, no one showed it on their faces as everyone put on a perfectly polite front.
As a few people who were congratulating them left and s.h.i.+ Ze was alone with Qian Xun, he whispered to her in a voice that no one else could hear, “I’m really glad you came.”
Qian Xun said nothing and pretended as though she heard nothing. With a perfect smile, she walked toward the resting lounge at the back of the salon.
s.h.i.+ Ze smiled and followed.
…
s.h.i.+ Guang watched Qian Xun hold s.h.i.+ Ze’s hands the entire night and grace the entire event elegantly, attracting the envy of everyone around. However, she could merely sigh.
Lu Yanchen glanced at her and raised his brow, speaking with a semblance of caution, “What’s with that att.i.tude?”
s.h.i.+ Guang rolled her eyes. “Unhappy, duh? Do I need to explain more? Of course, I’m feeling sorry for Qian Xun!”
“Feeling sorry for her?” He looked at her deeply and spoke with slight displeasure, “What’s there to be sorry about for her engagement? Could you have fallen in love with Qian Xun?”
He was implying… So be it if you have attracted the attention of so many men, but now women too?
s.h.i.+ Guang did not know to laugh or to cry. “What are you thinking about! I just feel that it’s like a toad l.u.s.ting for a swan’s meat… s.h.i.+ Ze is not worthy of Qian Xun!”
Those words had Lu Yanchen pleased. “You should have used the axiom of sticking a flower onto cow dung… That’s more suitable!”
The moment he spoke, a crisp and sweet voice rang out.
“Young Master Lu, isn’t the way you’re describing my future uncle-in-law rather mean?”
s.h.i.+ Guang turned around, only to be greeted with Su Ya in a green gown and Yang Chifeng in a black suit—they should have been standing there for quite some time now.
At that moment, Yan Zi, who was donning a purple gown, walked over and smiled calmly too, “Long time no see!”
