Chapter 1715 - Girls Who Stealthed In
After exiting the Gift Shop, Duan Shu Xian and Xi Jingchen got on the car. Her quiet gaze carried a trace of nervousness, and her hands were intertwined.
Xi Jingchen reached out his hands, took hold of one of her hands and placed it on his palm, wrapped it around her, as a trace of gentleness leaked out from his eyes.
Duan Shu Xian heaved a sigh of relief. She had already made up her mind. Although her previous life had been quite ordinary, she would still try to live closer to him.
He mustered the courage to stay with him as calmly as he could.
In the big hotel that was partic.i.p.ating in the banquet, but a national safe hotel, in the elegant western restaurant, the two of them ate a little dinner. Xi Jingchen was worried that he would get hungry when she entered the banquet later.
Without realizing it, it was already 6: 30. Many luxurious cars had already arrived outside the hotel. All of the guests that came to attend the charity dinner had arrived on time. There were many political ladies and young masters, and this banquet was not to be made public, because tonight, there was going to be an important charity recruitment event, and it was a special fund-raising event that was being called for by the Mrs. Sun.
Philanthropy, an activity that promotes self-worth and great meaning, is also a force for celebrity.
Xi Jingchen was not in a hurry to bring Duan Shu Xian into the arena, so he went downstairs to the coffee shop to discuss what had happened recently. After hearing that Duan Shumin had left the country, Xi Jingchen felt that it was a good thing.
It is right that a man should understand what he wants to do and define the goals of his life.
It was just like how his life was already arranged, but his goal was also very clear. And in this life, he had his own choice for his future wife.
"Shu Xian, will you feel pressured when you"re with me?" Xi Jingchen asked in a low voice.
Duan Shu Xian blinked. Pressure? She definitely did, but as long as she could be with him, she was not afraid of the pressure.
She nodded. "There is some pressure, but I will overcome it."
"Are you ready to join hands with me for the rest of your life?" Xi Jingchen"s gaze firmly locked onto her.
Duan Shu Xian nodded without hesitation once again. "I"ve done it!" Even if I have to face any difficulties in the future, I will not cower. "
A pleased smile flashed past Xi Jingchen"s eyes. He could see the determination in her eyes.
Xi Jingchen glanced at the wrist watch. It was seven o"clock, so he said gently, "We should go up now."
"En!" Duan Shu Xian stood up, she was not used to wearing high heel shoe s yet, so when she took two steps forward, she was so shocked that she grabbed hold of the man"s arm.
Xi Jingchen also quickly wrapped his arms around her lumbar region and held her steady.
"Are you alright?" Xi Jingchen asked in concern.
"It"s nothing, I just missed a step." Duan Shu Xian pursed her lips and smiled. However, she didn"t let him go as soon as she held onto him.
Xi Jingchen slightly bent down, and warned, "Hold on to me tightly, then fall down again."
Duan Shu Xian"s arm tightened again. "I will."
Around seven in the morning, in the parking lot of the hotel, a low-key black Maybach stopped. The security guards in the hotel immediately opened the door for him.
One of his long legs stepped down, following that, Duan Siye walked over from the driver"s seat.
He came alone, dressed in a black suit, as if he had just come from the company.
"Mr. Duan! "Please come in." The manager came out to greet him and recognized him at once.
Duan Siye"s reputation was derived from his family"s political background and also from his own outstanding ident.i.ty in the business world.
Having a double rank, on many occasions, he had already made people feel respect for him.
However, he had always kept a low profile, as if he was a lonely king.
Just as Duan Siye was about to go in, the figure of a girl suddenly rushed out from another car. She immediately rushed in and recklessly crashed into Duan Siye"s back in a rush, causing his upright posture to be blocked by a step.
"I"m sorry, I"m sorry!" The girl was in such a hurry to get in that she didn"t even have time to look at the person who was. .h.i.t.
However, the few security guards in front of her immediately stopped her, "Miss, please show me your Invitation Card! Otherwise you"re not allowed to enter. "
The girl immediately dashed forward. When the security guard reached out to stop her, she quickly stopped and explained to the security guard, "h.e.l.lo, it"s like this. My friend is up there, I"m going up to look for someone."
"Tonight"s a private banquet. If you do not have the Invitation Card, you are not allowed to enter." The security guards strictly followed this order.
"How can you all be so unreasonable!" I just went up to look for someone and came down soon enough. " The girl bit her lips. At the same time, her eyes stared at the elevator that was right in front of her, and a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.
"Mr. Duan, are you alright?" The manager carefully supported the man who was. .h.i.t.
Duan Siye had already straightened his body, his gaze looking at the girl who was being rude, his face carried a hint of coldness, this kind of rash and rash person, he was not happy.
"Look, there"s smoke coming out. It"s about to catch fire." The girl suddenly pointed and shouted.
The moment the security guard heard the word fire, he was immediately attracted by her words. The six bodyguards immediately looked in the direction she pointed, while the girl"s slender figure immediately went through the bodyguard who was holding her hand, drilling through, running towards the elevator.
The bodyguard reacted and immediately ran after her. However, the girl pressed the b.u.t.ton on the elevator hurriedly, and the moment the bodyguard rushed over, the elevator door just happened to close. Even though a few bodyguards went to forcefully open the door, the elevator was already going up.
The bodyguard immediately picked up the beeper and directed it to the security guard outside the banquet entrance. He told them to take note of a girl who forcefully broke into the banquet and reported her attire. She wore a denim skirt, long hair, and was about 1.65 meters tall.
The manager also angrily ordered the security guards to find the girl and quickly bring her out of the hotel.
Duan Siye walked into the elevator and frowned, thinking about why this girl forced her way into the party. Looking at her expression just now, she indeed seemed to be looking for someone.
When he walked out of the elevator, he saw a few security guards standing inside the elevator with a caller ID. Duan Siye could hear the tone of the security guards talking to him, but it seemed like they did not see a girl in a denim skirt getting off the elevator on this floor.
Duan Siye saw the few security guards immediately enter the elevator to search, but he didn"t care about them at all as he walked towards the direction of the banquet hall.
Xi Jingchen and Duan Shu Xian had already entered the banquet hall, but Xi Jingchen did not want to announce his ident.i.ty in a high profile manner. He had been in the army for all these years, and there weren"t many people who knew him.
When Xi Jingchen had greeted the Mrs. Sun, he had already reminded her of this point, and Aunt Sun also understood that she did not specifically introduce Xi Jingchen"s ident.i.ty.
In the crowd this time, apart from those beautiful madams, there were also many young men, all of whom were descendants of famous political families.
Although it was a private banquet, close to fifty people had come, and many had brought their female companions to attend as well. This was because tonight, someone had revealed that Mrs. Sun was going to sell a few special items, so it could be considered a small-scale auction!
It just so happened that even if they could do good deeds, they could admire the treasures specially collected by the Mrs. Sun in advance.
Xi Jingchen and Duan Shu Xian were extremely eye-catching within the crowd. Whether it was their appearance or their aura, there was no lack of beauties with beauty tonight, but Duan Shu Xian"s existence attracted the attention of many men. This was because her body gave off a particularly enchanting aura, making her seem like an ethereal orchid, making her seem fresh and refined.
Xi Jingchen didn"t need to say anything. Standing in front of the young master of a political family, even though his ident.i.ty was unknown, he still had the aura of suppressing them.
At this moment, the door to the hall was pushed open and a refined figure walked in.
Duan Shu Xian turned her head to look and was pleasantly surprised, it turned out to be her big brother Duan Siye. She said to Xi Jingchen who was beside her, "My cousin is here too."
Xi Jingchen looked over, and he said with interest, "Let"s meet again in a while, I want to get to know your cousin."
