The Queen's Hand

When Shen Yixi called her, she lost her usual rationality and composure.
He suddenly remembered the first time he was taken to see her by Father Shen when he was a child.
At that time, the huge courtyard was surrounded by Liang's father's bodyguards and attendants, but she seemed to be oblivious to the surroundings. She held a rag doll in her hand, half-squatting on the ground, leisurely counting ants, and she was counting with great joy.
"Shishi," Father Shen called her with a smile.
Then he saw the little girl raised her head and looked at him with a pair of deer-like eyes.
It's sparkling, clear and clean, with bits of light in it.
This made the young boy a little dazed for a moment.
"Uncle Chen," Liang Yushi called out politely, her voice still tinged with a hint of childishness.
"Be good," Father Shen touched her head and pointed at him, "This is Uncle Shen's son. His name is Shen Yixi. He will always be by your side in the future to teach you, help you, and protect you."
She blinked twice and suddenly stood up from the ground.
He watched her walk closer and closer to him, and then her small figure stood in front of him, looking up at him.
Then, she stretched out her hand to him and smiled at him with her eyes curved, "Brother Yixi."
He clearly felt that his world had completely changed at that moment.
From then on, there was color and there was heartbeat.
…
From that day on, he became inseparable from this girl who was four years younger than him. No matter where he went, her sweet voice calling him would always echo behind him.
Brother Yixi, please help me get this book.
Brother Yixi, I want to eat that snack.
Brother Yixi,...
He was obviously very strict with her, and sometimes even deliberately mean to her for her quick growth, but she was not afraid of him at all.
When she grew up and became more shy like a girl, she rarely called him that anymore, especially in front of strangers. But if there was no one around and she wanted to make some unreasonable requests, she would call him that - and she knew that as long as she called him that, he would generally not refuse her.
This is indeed the case. How could he bear to refuse her?
No matter how much suffering he endures.
After a while, Shen Yixi lowered his eyes, turned around, and picked up the pair of high heels on the table.
Liang Yushi let go of her hand, a sly smile flashing across her eyes.
Then, as she watched, he knelt on one knee in front of her.
"Sorry, I'm sorry," he whispered as his hand touched the hem of her skirt.
She shook her head, but her cheeks turned red silently at an angle where he couldn't see.
He then gently and carefully lifted the hem of her floor-length skirt, revealing her slender, beautiful ankles and feet.
Then he picked up one shoe with one hand and gently placed his other hand on her heel, slowly pushing the shoe up until it covered her entire foot.
Looking at his handsome and focused profile, Liang Yushi felt her heartbeat suddenly become faster.
Her throat tightened with pleasure and her face flushed.
In recent years, this situation has continued to occur whenever the two of them are alone together. She didn't take it too seriously at first, thinking it might be due to his increasingly strong masculine charm, but now it seems that this can no longer be considered an occasional or normal phenomenon.
She only behaves like this when facing Shen Yixi.
She wouldn't do that with any other man.
After Shen Yixi put on her shoes, she did not get up immediately.
She straightened her skirt and tried to slow her breathing, trying to make her tone sound as normal as possible. "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
He nodded.
"Then tell me," she thought something had gone wrong during the campaign because of his serious expression, "What's wrong?"
He closed his eyes tightly, as if he had made up his mind completely.
Then he looked up at her and said, "I have a proposal for you to consider regarding the final, crucial stage of the campaign."
After a pause, he said word by word, "Marry Luo Jingqu, the eldest son of the Luo family chaebol."
When the last two words fell to the ground, Liang Yushi was stunned.
Before she could speak, Shen Yixi mechanically repeated everything that Shen's father had said on the phone except the last paragraph, including Luo's background, Luo Jingqu's personal introduction, and the benefits for her eventual success in the election.
In the end, even he himself almost felt that this was an excellent suggestion.
When he finished speaking, Liang Yushi's expression, who was sitting on the chair, finally changed slightly.
Her delicate and petite face no longer had the usual smile and indifference, and her eyes were unclear.
After a while, she nodded and said lightly, "It sounds good. There are no harms."
When Shen Yixi heard this, his heart sank to the bottom.
"But I want to ask,"
She lowered her eyes and looked at him, "Is this Uncle Shen's suggestion, or yours?"
He tightened his hands at his side.
"My proposal," he said after a few seconds.
Liang Yushi stared at him motionlessly.
"good,"
After a long while, she slowly stood up from the chair and looked down at him. "If it's your suggestion, I will accept it."
Shen Yixi felt as if he had stepped on empty air and fell from a great height.
A feeling of powerlessness and painful weightlessness made him feel suffocated.
"After all, you are Brother Yixi who will never hurt me or make me sad."
His body trembled violently.
After saying this, Liang Yushi turned around and walked forward, leaving the bedroom without looking back.
The silence in the room.
He slowly stood up from the ground and closed his sore eyes tightly.
This is the best way.
He said to himself.
It can only be this way.
-
Dinner venue.
This is the largest charity dinner in City D every year. This year, because it coincides with the election, Liang Yushi and many celebrities and tycoons have joined, making it even more dazzling than previous years.
Shen Yixi followed Liang Yushi closely, accompanying her in greeting each guest.
After coming down from upstairs, she never spoke to him again.
Didn't even glance at him.
He felt that she must be angry, but he didn't know why she was angry.
It was obvious that he was the one who was suffering more, and he felt his heart freeze after he made this suggestion.
The stiff atmosphere between him and Liang Yushi made him seem more silent than before, and the aura of alienation around him became even stronger. As a result, some guests who originally wanted to get close to Liang Yushi were scared away by his expression when they saw him as the Queen's Hand.
After she finished chatting with a group of chaebol celebrities, she wanted to go to the side to rest, but after taking two steps, she heard low exclamations from the crowd at the door.
Although Shen Yixi's face was very sour, his nerves were still highly tense, and he immediately stepped forward to block her.
"...It's not dangerous," Liang Yushi, who was blocked by him, finally said the first words of the night to him in a bad mood.
He was stunned for a moment.
"It's just someone coming," she walked out from behind him, and when she saw the person coming, she asked him, "Who is this person? Do you know him?"
He also looked over there. The person who came was a young man who looked about the same age as them. He was handsome, but this kind of handsomeness was different from Shen Yixi's. It was the kind of handsomeness that was a bit ostentatious and dazzling.
The man was wearing a black and gold suit and had a tall figure. When he greeted others, there was a nonchalant smile on the corner of his mouth, and a little gleam of light flashed in the upturned corners of his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses.
In short, he is not a simple person.
"I don't know him," he quickly ran through his memory bank in his mind.
If he had seen a celebrity or tycoon who looked like this, he would definitely have an impression of him, or maybe this person didn't like to show up in public.
Without waiting for Liang Yushi to speak, the man actually walked straight towards them.
As soon as Shen Yixi met the other person's gaze, his brows subconsciously frowned, and he calmly pulled Liang Yushi behind him.
The other party noticed his little action, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
"I've heard a lot about you,"
The man then signaled his bodyguards to step back, then stood in front of Shen Yixi and extended his hand towards him, "Hello, Mr. Shen, the Queen's Hand."
Shen Yixi didn't say anything. After a few seconds, he stretched out his hand to him and shook it lightly.
"And Queen Liang, hello,"
After shaking hands, he smiled at Liang Yushi, who was half blocked by Shen Yixi, and said, "It's our first meeting. I don't usually attend such occasions. I guess you two don't know me. Let me introduce myself first."
"I'm Luo Jingqu, the young chairman of Luo's."
…
Shen Yixi's expression changed slightly.
Why is he here today?
Liang Yushi was also stunned when she heard the other party's words. She turned her head to glance at Shen Yixi, whose face looked a little ugly, with a gleam in her eyes. At this time, she walked out from behind Shen Yixi, took a few steps forward, and shook hands with Luo Jingqu, "Hello."
Luo Jingqu pushed his glasses and said slowly, "Mr. Shen's father said your schedule is very full, so he asked me to come here today to say hello to you, so as to avoid not seeing you for ten days or half a month. After all, exchanging information frequently is not as reassuring as meeting in person."
When these words were spoken, there was a tacit understanding that they were linking to the matter of marriage.
Shen Yixi’s heart sank.
It turned out that Shen's father was afraid that he would not be willing to tell Liang Yushi about this proposal, so he took the initiative to move the matter forward.
She smiled when she heard this, and her shallow dimples looked very cute and sweet. "If I really need to find time, I can still find it. I'd be very sorry if you came all the way here today."
"It's not a big deal,"
Luo Jingqu elegantly took the wine glass handed to him by the attendant and raised it towards her. "It is worth it to see such a beautiful woman."
Liang Yushi clinked glasses with him.
Shen Yixi stood beside him, his eyes flying towards Luo Jingqu like sharp knives.
Luo Jingqu clearly sensed it, but pretended not to see it. He finished the wine in his glass and suddenly extended his hand elegantly towards Liang Yushi. "Would you like to dance with me?"
At this moment, the center of the banquet hall was filled with guests leaning against each other and dancing slowly, creating a soothing and romantic atmosphere.
"Feel sorry,"
Before Liang Yushi could speak, Shen Yixi finally seized the opportunity and said coldly, “There are too many people here. In case someone does something bad to her, she can’t go over there to dance with you alone.”
Luo Jingqu didn't get angry when he heard this, but nodded with a half-smile, "The Queen's knight is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Who knew that the next second, Liang Yushi suddenly put her hand on Luo Jingqu's arm.
Under Shen Yixi's tense gaze, she gently took Luo Jingqu's arm and said, "Okay."
"Mr. Shen has deployed personnel throughout the banquet hall. It should be safe for the duration of one dance."
She was speaking to Luo Jingqu, but her eyes were fixed on him. "After all, he is the Hand of the Queen. I feel at ease."
Shen Yixi wondered if he had heard it wrong.
