Chapter 72 He is her brother
......
A moment later, the lights in the center of the venue suddenly dimmed, and a spotlight shone on the stage. Models began to emerge one after another, wearing jewelry.
The press conference reached its climax in an instant, and all the media focused on the stage, waiting for the final show.
At this moment, He Chenzhou, the president of He Group, unexpectedly stepped onto the stage.
The venue fell silent instantly. He Chenzhou rarely showed up in public, and everyone was very surprised by his appearance.
The man had a powerful and introverted aura, his handsome features had sharp lines, and he looked at the crowd with indifferent eyes, but beneath his calmness lurked an unfathomable undercurrent.
Si Tang didn't notice that from the moment He Chenzhou appeared, Fan Yi's face beside him became gloomy.
He Chenzhou looked around the room, and finally his gaze seemed to fall on where Si Tang was.
"Thank you all for coming to He's Group's new product launch." He Chenzhou's voice was low and calm. "Before we present our final piece, I have an important announcement to make."
He Chenzhou continued, "The 'Weiyang' series is indeed our key project this year, but today, I want to especially thank the partner and designer of this series—Miss Sitang of Xingnian."
The whole audience erupted in laughter. The flashes instantly swung to Si Tang's position. She stood up calmly in front of the crowd, smiling at the camera. Si Xi's face, incredulous, seemed to flash across her vision.
He Chenzhou extended his hand on the stage, "Please invite Miss Sitang to the stage."
The audience erupted in applause. Si Tang walked towards the stage, watched by everyone, some surprised and some admiring. As she passed by Si Xi, she heard her gnashing teeth, "This is impossible..."
Si Tang's expression remained unchanged as he walked onto the stage calmly, his eyes meeting He Chenzhou's.
When she took the microphone from He Chenzhou, she couldn't help but whisper, "Thank you."
He Chenzhou couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, and this detail was just caught by Fan Yi in the audience.
He felt as if his whole body was burning on fire, and he only wished he could keep Si Tang by his side.
Si Tang was speaking on the stage, but he couldn't hear him. He only saw the two of them standing side by side. They were such a perfect match that made him feel uneasy.
He couldn't bear it any longer, he wanted to lock Si Tang up. That way no one could see her, no one could covet her, no one could take her away.
But suddenly, a ray of light suddenly hit him, and Si Tang's words gradually became clear.
“…I want to thank my husband for always supporting me.”
Si Tang wanted to take this opportunity to announce to the public that their relationship is stable.
I don’t know what terrible consequences I have escaped.
Fan Yi stood up under the spotlight with a gentle smile on his face. He walked to the stage and stood directly between Si Tang and He Chenzhou. He pushed He Chenzhou aside a step and then put one hand on Si Tang's waist.
He Chenzhou subconsciously met his gaze. At this moment, he clearly saw the warning and possessiveness in the other's eyes.
He Chenzhou looked away without any expression. Si Tang, on the other side, was focused on the audience, oblivious to the undercurrents unfolding nearby.
Offstage, Si Xi felt incredibly sorry. She had been secretly observing from the shadows, and had just seen the monster's eyes, which looked as if it wanted to devour Si Tang, only to then turn around and soften its expression.
Just wait and see, Si Tang is haunted by the monster, what good ending will it have?
-
When everything was over, Si Tang wanted to thank him in person afterwards, but he learned that He Chenzhou had already left the venue.
"Okay, thank Mr. He for me." Si Tang said to He Chenzhou's assistant.
The other party nodded politely and personally escorted Si Tang and Fan Yi to the car and left.
After watching the vehicle drive away, the assistant took out his cell phone and reported to the man on the other end of the line.
"Mr. He, Miss Si and her husband have been sent away."
The other party didn't say anything, just nodded and hung up the phone.
On the other side, He Chenzhou was standing in front of the French window. As night fell, he looked down at the entire city below, and unknown desires were released.
On the table behind him, several documents were spread out, which were the investigations before and after Si Tang's engagement and marriage.
During this period, he always had some strange dreams.
The dream was set in an ancient setting. There was a girl who loved wearing a Liuxian skirt. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old and had a bun on her head. She always liked to follow behind him and look at him timidly.
"Brother, Tang'er wants to eat ice cream, but mom won't buy it for her. Can you bring it to me?"
He was also dressed in ancient black clothes. He touched the girl's head with affection and shook his head.
"That thing is too cold. You're not feeling well. The doctor told you not to eat it."
The girl lowered her head in grievance, and was about to cry if she disagreed with something. The self in the dream was frantically trying to comfort her.
The girl in the dream seemed to be in poor health. She was always coughing, had a pale face and a weak body.
"Brother, I want to go to school and not stay in the house every day."
"The doctor said you need to rest at home and not do any exercise. If you're bored, I'll take you to see the butterflies in the yard, okay?"
......
At the end of these dreams, he saw the girl's face clearly, and it was Si Tang's face.
He Chenzhou withdrew his gaze from the window and walked to the island counter. He opened a bottle of wine, and the amber liquid fell into the glass. He raised his head and drank it, slightly closing his eyes to hide his fluctuating emotions. His expression was calm from beginning to end.
In the dream, he was her brother.
But He Chenzhou knew very well that in his dream, his feelings for her were not just that of a brother.
......
Three days later, Si Tang received an invitation to the He family's celebration banquet.
This time, she didn't inform Fan Yi, but only told him that she had something to do. After all, men also have their own careers, and she couldn't always have someone following her around.
When she arrived at the celebration banquet venue, she was rarely surprised to see He Chenzhou there.
The crowd was bustling with activity, and Xing Nian was fighting with He's design department.
The man sat on the sofa in a separate corner, sipping wine quietly, forming a barrier to keep strangers out.
She thought he would not attend occasions like this.
Everyone was very enthusiastic when they saw her coming.
"Vice President Si, please sit down!"
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but she was pushed to the seat next to He Chenzhou.
These people had no other thoughts. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she was married, and He Chenzhou had a fiancée.
As soon as she sat down, the man beside her poured her a glass of wine. The amber liquid fell into the rim of the glass, and a slender jade-like hand pushed the wine to her side.
"You're three minutes late, Vice President Si, so drink three cups as punishment!" the crowd cheered.
Si Tang wanted to say that he couldn't handle the alcohol, but a deep voice came from the side.
"It's a drink. I asked someone to replace it."
Si Tang turned back in surprise, only to meet the man's deep, dark eyes. Under the dim light, his gaze was calm, yet his facial features were so aggressive that one dared not even glance at him a second time.
Si Tang pursed her lips and smiled, then picked up the wine glass and drank it. It was indeed sweet. Her heart moved. She didn't expect him...
Si Tang was no longer a child, and the man's behavior made her think more.
But when she lowered her head and saw the white ring on the man’s left ring finger, she thought again, maybe it was just an illusion or misunderstanding?
What's more, she is still "married".
