Chapter 42: Strangely out of place
But for some reason, He Moheng couldn't utter the sarcastic and humiliating words he had originally intended. He simply gave him a cold look and turned away, perfectly portraying himself as someone who had been abandoned and betrayed.
But he didn't leave immediately, but watched from a distance. He wanted to witness this man and Si Tang become a laughing stock.
Fan Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure behind the crowd.
Is this person the fiancé she fell in love with at first sight?
I don't know when the brooch on her chest has been played with in the palm of her hand. The red gem brooch sets off the white and flawless fingers, and it is obvious that she has pampered hands.
Si Tang didn't take this little action seriously, but 8856 was alarmed.
Lord Fan Yi is angry.
8856 also quickly found out why Lord Fan Yi was angry.
Because he heard Fan Yi's voice message to him.
"Tsk, I really want to peel that face off!"
There was no trace of joking in the cold tone.
8856 knew that this was because Master Fan Yi was particularly unhappy about the fact that he had a similar face. He finally understood why he had felt a sense of familiarity when he saw He Moheng from afar.
For some reason, He Moheng, who was sitting far away, felt a tingling sensation on his spine, as if something was staring at him in the dark.
But he was now filled with resentment and did not leave immediately. He just wanted to see Si Tang being ridiculed! Choosing a duck as a fiancé was a laughing stock in the upper class.
With Si Tang's words, everyone calmed down a bit, but some people were still whispering behind Fan Yi's back.
"If this girl were really a gigolo, she would definitely be a top prostitute."
"I have to say, that face is really handsome..."
"I think Miss Si is really lustful. She dares to take anyone. Men from that kind of place, tsk tsk, no matter how handsome they are, are afraid of contracting diseases..."
"I don't know where he stole the invitation letter from, but he has such a face, so it must be his ability."
Si Tang couldn't hear what they were talking about behind his back, but it was hard for 8856, who had super hearing, not to hear it.
8856:......
Human beings are so audacious that they have no idea what kind of monsters the people they are talking about are.
He was afraid that Fan Yi would kill them all on the spot in a fit of rage, so he shouted at him to stop him.
"Hey! How can you talk like that? We have a formal invitation! Mr. Fan Yi is a distinguished guest personally invited by the ambassador to the country. He is the founder of the Transnational Art Foundation and has donated thousands of first-class collections. He is of noble status!"
People said, “I don’t understand what he is saying.”
"It even comes with a little duck, and it's very delicate and tender."
"It's a gang crime."
8856: "......"
He felt that humans were so ignorant that they loved to dance on graves without even realizing it.
Si Tang felt that Xiao Liu didn't seem to be lying, but he looked at Fan Yi beside him with curiosity. Could this be the boss?
If what Xiaoliu said was true, the person who could donate thousands of pieces of collections must have an incredible background. Perhaps the gentleman she had just mentioned, offering her a reward in exchange for an engagement, wouldn't even take it seriously.
And he helped her.
Fan Yi was aware of Si Tang's probing gaze. He concealed the brutality in his eyes when he looked at those people, then put on a gentle smile, lowered his head and softly answered her concerns.
"Don't worry, they are not criminals, and they have no other intentions."
His tone was very gentle, and he looked like a gentleman. During this time, the tip of his nose lightly touched the girl's temples, and his cool breath brushed her cheek.
Si Tang actually smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar cold fragrance. His mind went blank for a moment and he felt his heartbeat quicken a little.
That feeling is very familiar, yet hard to capture.
Someone shouted at this time.
"It's obvious nonsense. You must have made this up many times! But don't you consider the occasion and the identities of everyone involved? How could they be fooled by a liar like you?"
8856: There is no door to hell, you came here on your own.
After being extremely speechless, he said, "Haven't you guys been following the recent news?"
Someone seemed to recall something and spoke weakly, "There seems to be a trending search a few days ago saying that someone from the National Bureau personally invited a mysterious person back to China. It is said that this mysterious person donated thousands of artifacts, which seem to be related to the Atlantis civilization that sank millions of years ago. It's comparable to the miracle of discovering Sanxingdui. Could it be him?"
Others picked up their phones to search, then expressed disbelief.
"How is that possible? Tsk, it's just a coincidence. Besides, the identity of that mysterious man hasn't been revealed here. So you say you are him? I even said I was Qin Shi Huang!"
This caused a burst of laughter from the people around.
After discussing this, Lin Sui, who had been secretly observing Fan Yi, seemed to remember something. It seemed that she had actually ordered someone to invite that mysterious person.
"I did invite that mysterious gentleman. There is a number on the invitation letter. I have asked someone to check it. Just take it out and compare it. Wouldn't it be clear?" Lin Sui said lightly.
As soon as Madam Yun spoke, everyone fell silent and looked at Fan Yi and Xiao Liu.
8856 straightened his back and took out an invitation from his pocket. He was waiting for these people to be slapped in the face!
A waiter came over and took the invitation, then ordered someone to go backstage to check the invitation number of the mysterious gentleman.
As for Fan Yi, the protagonist of the incident, he stood there calmly and elegantly, as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't care about the slander. When Si Tang looked at him, he smiled gently, looking good-tempered.
Si Tang admired the gentleman's emotional stability and composure.
But only 8856 and Trident knew clearly that Lord Fan Yi was extremely narrow-minded. This ancestor would never let go of any grudge. It was likely that everyone who had just said something bad about him had been secretly included in Fan Yi's revenge list!
While waiting, Si Tang realized belatedly that she was still holding hands with Fan Yi. For some reason, his body temperature was cold, and her palms were sweating, feeling sticky and uncomfortable. She subconsciously pulled her hands away.
Unexpectedly, after struggling for a moment, he was grabbed firmly! It wasn't a gentleman's strength. He even rubbed it after holding it. The movement was very smooth, full of a familiar and intimate smell.
Si Tang was stunned and subconsciously looked at the culprit, only to meet a pair of bottomless narrow eyes with unfathomable emotions in them, but the smile remained gentle and polite.
Seeing that her expression was like that of a frightened rabbit, staring at him blankly, Fan Yi lowered his eyes and resisted the urge to hug her in his arms and kiss her hard.
"Ah, I didn't mean to." He let go of her hand, looking apologetic, as if it had truly been unintentional. "I just remembered my cat at home, and it was just a habit."
Si Tang choked up and said nothing. He just felt that the action just now was strangely inconsistent with his gentle and calm appearance...
