Chapter 27
The two ate at a Chinese restaurant. After she was almost full, Tang Xin put down the tableware and was hesitating about how to give him the gift in the bag. However, she lost her courage upon seeing his indifferent expression, as she was afraid that he might laugh at or reject her.
She decided that she’d better wait till they got home.
But in the end, she went home alone. He had sent another driver for her as he had to work.
She had wanted to explain to him about what had happened at the piano store because she was afraid he would get angry or take it to heart, and then make things difficult for her at night like he had done the previous time.
His heart was too cold, and she didn’t believe that there was anyone in the world who could make it warm. Eating out with her was just something done in passing.
She never dared to hope for his love and favor.
The moment Tang Xin returned to Star Garden, her phone rang. It was her second brother.
“Xinxin, there’s a banquet tonight. Would it be convenient for you to accompany me?”
“A banquet? Yes, but…” she bit her lip and hesitated.
“Xinxin, you have isolated yourself for too long, it’s time to come out, knowing more people is only good for you. Just say yes, I can’t find a female companion at the last minute, and this banquet is really very important to me.”
“I…” Should she call and inform Li Yunshen first?
“Xinxin, you are Li Yunshen’s wife now, don’t you want to be more confident standing next to him? Just take it as training, how about that?”
1As soon as Tang Xin heard this, there seemed to be no reason for her to hesitate anymore.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” making this decision seemed to require a huge amount of courage from her.
Because she really wanted to be more confident when standing next to him, instead of being at a loss all the time.
…
At eight o’clock in the evening, the Lu residence was filled with people drinking and toasting each other.
Tang Xin attended the event with an off-shoulder apricot-colored asymmetrical chiffon dress, astonishing everyone the moment she entered. She looked even more pure and innocent after being worked on by the stylist.
The old Tang Xin might have felt uneasy because of the glares, but she didn’t care about it now as she was busy looking for someone.
Tang Lingfeng quickly found the person she was looking for. “Your husband is over there, go say hello to him.”
Tang Xin looked at where his finger was pointing at and really saw Li Yunshen standing by the fountain. He was holding a glass of red wine and talking to someone. However, he wasn’t talking nonstop, just nodding and speaking concisely from time to time. His calm and self-assertive disposition commanded respect from others.
“I’d better not, he is talking to someone, it wouldn’t be nice for me to interrupt,” Tang Xin looked back and smiled.
Tang Lingfeng frowned and turned her around. “Xinxin, you are his wife, it’s only right for you to say hello to him first, otherwise he will blame me for dragging you here, he might be angry if he sees you later.”
3“Will… will he?” Did Second Brother make things sound too serious?
Tang Xin glanced over there again, hesitated for a while, and finally let go of her brother’s hand, “I’ll go over and say hello to him then.”
He would probably get angry if he were to find out himself later.
“Um, go on.” Tang Lingfeng let go of her, his eyes full of encouragement.
Beside the fountain.
“Mr. Li, we have chatted for so long, and I have forgotten to introduce my daughter to you,” Lu Feng asked the housekeeper to bring the person over immediately.
Li Yunshen waited calmly. Lu Feng’s daughter had just come back from overseas, and this was a welcome banquet in name, when in actual fact he wanted to take this opportunity to find an ideal husband for his daughter.
Lu Feng’s daughter soon came over, but Li Yunshen recognized her right away before Lu Feng had even introduced her.
