Chapter 134 - Seeing Is Better Than Hearing From Others
Jiang Rongrong"s expression and posture were perfectly normal.
Yet, Shen Fanxing couldn"t help but frown in suspicion.
"The eldest young lady of the Shen family? Indeed… Seeing is better than hearing from others!"
Ding Chengyu suddenly blurted with a bright smile.
He was certainly aware of the rumors concerning the eldest young lady in the Shen family.
But it didn"t occur to him that she would turn out to be such a beautiful woman.
Behind his gold-framed gla.s.ses, Ding Chengyu squinted his eyes and sized Shen Fanxing up blatantly.
Beautiful!
How beautiful!
Especially the refres.h.i.+ng and pure vibe she emitted, wasn"t something any woman could imitate.
Yet, her natural elegance was simply alluring.
Beside them, Jiang Rongrong had observed the changes of emotions in Ding Chengyu"s eyes. A smile flashed across her eyes.
Shen Fanxing continued to stand there without a word and that resulted in Jiang Rongrong"s darkened expression.
"Fanxing! Young Master Ding is trying to talk to you. Didn"t you hear him?"
She chided her sternly, as her intelligent-looking eyes flashed with warning.
Shen Fanxing shot a glare at Jiang Rongrong suddenly.
That expression sent a chill down Jiang Rongrong"s spine.
Ding Chengyu studied Shen Fanxing"s lovely and beautiful face, which was filled with aloofness. It piqued his interest even more.
"Director Jiang, don"t be so strict."
Jiang Rongrong forced a smile and replied, "I"ve embarra.s.sed myself in front of Young Master Ding. My granddaughter"s personality is indeed problematic."
"How could that be? This is why Miss Shen is unique."
Jiang Rongrong smiled and nodded slightly. Shen Fanxing was already pulled to the side by Xu Qingzhi.
Ding Chengyu stared as Shen Fanxing walked away. His refined features displayed an evilness that didn"t belong to him.
…
Shen Qianrou asked a waiter before she found Su Heng on the terrace.
Walking quietly to him, she wrapped her arms around his lean body before she pressed her body against his back.
"Brother Heng…"
Su Heng frowned when he saw the pair of hands around his waist. Pressing his lips, he turned around slowly.
"Why are you here? Aren"t you cold?"
Shen Qianrou asked cautiously, but Su Heng didn"t reply.
"Brother Heng, do you love me?"
Shen Qianrou bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of tears.
Su Heng paused as complex emotions swirled in his eyes. He was taken aback by her sudden question.
"You know what? I feel so insecure. I know you"re engaged to Sister, but I can"t help but fall in love with you. I want to do my best so that everyone will think that I"m the one who"s most qualified to be by your side.
I thought that tonight was an opportunity to prove it. But I didn"t expect Sister to appear here looking so beautiful, lovely and poised.
Everyone was captivated by her, including you!
Brother Heng, do you know how you look like every time you look at her tonight? Every gaze of yours is like a knife, stabbing into my heart.
I want to be with you no matter what happens. I don"t want to lose you easily. Brother Heng, I"m scared, I"m really scared…"
Shen Qianrou said meekly as tears streamed like broken pearls down her face.
As expected, Su Heng"s heart ached.
She didn"t shed a single tear despite the immense grievance she suffered at the event just now.
Yet, she was crying her heart out when there was no one around.
Her words struck his heart, causing him immense heartache and guilt.
He couldn"t deny what Qianrou had said was the truth. He had to admit that he was captivated by Fanxing tonight.
Reaching out to wipe Shen Qianrou"s tears, Su Heng sighed. "Don"t cry anymore. If your makeup is smudged, you won"t be pretty anymore."
Shen Qianrou pressed her lips and shook her head. "I"m not pretty anymore. Tonight… tonight… I"ve embarra.s.sed myself thoroughly. I"m about to lose you too. What"s the use of being pretty?"
"Nonsense! When did I say I don"t want you?" Su Heng said resignedly, his voice full of indulgence.
Shen Qianrou took a step forward and hooked her slender arms around his neck intimately. Then, she pressed her voluptuous body against his wide chest.. With teary eyes, she tip-toed and kissed Su Heng.
