"Don't we look like a married couple?" Si Lijue's deep and sharp eyes pierced Liu Qianhui like two cold beams of light.
Liu Qianhui forced a smile and replied, "It doesn't seem like it."
Si Lijue took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Niannian. He reached out and put his arm around Su Niannian's waist, pulling her into his arms in one smooth motion, as if they were very familiar with each other.
Then, he looked down at the person in his arms with deep affection, his tone unusually doting.
"Honey, that's wrong of you. How can you let others think we're not loving?"
Upon hearing these words, Su Niannian was struck dumb, as if by lightning, and instantly turned to stone!
What kind of divine move is Si Lijue making?
In order to drive away these women, she didn't hesitate to publicly claim that she was his wife?
Why are you looking at me with such an ambiguous gaze?
Is it because they think she's lived too long?
Besides, they only had a marriage of convenience and didn't even get a marriage certificate, so strictly speaking, she wasn't his wife yet.
She was about to open her mouth to explain, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Liu Qianhui's behavior.
Looking at Si Lijue's hand tightly holding Su Niannian's waist and listening to his excessively doting words, Liu Qianhui could no longer bear it, and her heart instantly shattered.
She was heartbroken and felt utterly humiliated, so she ran away as if fleeing.
The other women standing nearby also realized what had happened, gave Su Niannian a strange look, and, realizing that their actions had been somewhat foolish, turned away in shame and returned to their respective positions.
You guys know what's good for you!
Si Lijue raised an eyebrow, quite satisfied with the charming woman beside him.
With a smile playing on his lips, he said softly, "My wife did a great job, I'll give you an extra chicken leg tonight!"
Su Niannian complained, "President Si, didn't you promise me you wouldn't make our relationship public? Why are you going back on your word?"
Instead of answering, Si Lijue asked, "Do you remember what your mission is tonight?"
Su Niannian nodded. "I'll remember, I'll help you fend off unwanted suitors."
Si Lijue asked again, "Before we came here, did you personally promise me that you would do everything in your power to prevent other women from getting close to me and nip their desires for me in the bud?"
"Yes!" Su Niannian replied firmly.
In the afternoon, after Si Lijue helped her choose a dress and did her makeup, he repeatedly guided her to make a promise to complete the mission.
She has always been a person of integrity, and she will naturally admit to what she has said.
Si Lijue's smile grew wider and wider. He was very satisfied with Su Niannian's frankness and said with a smile, "What's wrong with me telling others that you are my wife? This is a good way to solve the problem once and for all."
"..." Su Niannian could no longer refute.
Si Lijue is right. Announcing her identity as his wife would indeed reduce a lot of trouble and is the most direct and effective way.
Even if these women like Si Lijue, they can't seduce him in front of her, the legitimate wife, can they?
Moreover, ever since Si Lijue publicly announced that she was his wife, all the women present automatically kept their distance from him, and even their gazes towards him became much colder, no longer as fiery as before.
Since this method worked, Su Niannian was too lazy to dwell on Si Lijue's broken promise anymore.
Time passed by, and the charity gala proceeded according to schedule.
During the auction, Si Lijue spent 800 million yuan to buy a set of jade jewelry and gave it to Su Niannian on the spot, which became the hottest topic of the banquet and made countless girls envious and jealous to the point of madness.
So much so that the next day, this explosive news dominated the headlines in both the entertainment and finance sectors.
People in Kyoto's high society all know that the big boss of the Si Group not only has a secretly married wife, but also a son who is almost five years old, which shocked everyone.
However, that's a story for another time.
After the banquet, Si Lijue and Su Niannian did not return to the old house, but went back to the Supreme Villa.
The two had just arrived home when Lin Fei came looking for them, carrying a file folder.
Without saying a word, Si Lijue took Lin Fei to the study.
After a night of wits and courage, Su Niannian was exhausted. She returned to her bedroom alone, took off her dress, removed her exquisite makeup, and took a hot bath in the bathroom.
By the time she changed into her pajamas and got ready, almost an hour had passed.
Because she had eaten a lot of desserts tonight and found them too sweet, she went downstairs to get a drink of water.
After replenishing her fluids, Su Niannian was about to go upstairs when she inadvertently glanced at the bag she had carried at the banquet on the stair railing. After hesitating for a moment, she took out an exquisite gift box from the bag and carried it upstairs.
As they reached the corner on the second floor, they happened to run into Lin Fei, who was about to leave.
Su Niannian greeted Lin Fei with a smile: "Are you leaving, Assistant Lin?"
"Yes, Madam," Lin Fei replied respectfully.
Su Niannian glanced behind Lin Fei and, not seeing Si Lijue, asked curiously, "Where is he?"
Lin Fei understood immediately and replied, "President Si is still in the study."
"Okay!" Su Niannian nodded and walked past Lin Fei.
Lin Fei's gaze involuntarily fell on the box in Su Niannian's hand, a look of surprise and shock flashing across his eyes.
He paused slightly, his eyes following Su Niannian's retreating figure until she knocked on the door and entered the study, before striding away.
After Su Niannian entered the study, Si Lijue was still staring blankly at the file folder on his desk.
Su Niannian stood at the door and asked cautiously, "Did I disturb you?"
Si Lijue shifted his gaze from the file folder to Su Niannian's face, and asked expressionlessly, "Is there something you need?"
Su Niannian walked towards the desk with the gift box in her hand, and then carefully placed it on the desk.
"These are the pieces of jewelry you bought tonight. I think it's best to leave them to you for safekeeping."
"You don't like it?" Si Lijue asked in surprise.
Su Niannian shook her head and denied it: "No, it's just that I think it's too expensive, I can't accept it, it's too hot to handle!"
What woman in this world doesn't love jewelry? Especially something so valuable.
She loves it, she loves it to bits!
However, the thought of losing this set of jewelry was unbearable; she would never be able to afford to pay for it even if she lived a life of hardship.
Eight hundred million!!!
Do you understand what this means?
She and the entire Su family combined don't have 800 million yuan!
Originally, Su Niannian thought she was living a life that was neither too high nor too low.
However, after this charity gala, she felt like a poor loser who was far from being well-off.
The Su family only owns one restaurant in Kyoto, with a total market value of only 600 million yuan.
Si Lijue seemed to see through her thoughts and patiently asked, "Did you burn your hand?"
"No." Su Niannian blurted out without thinking.
Si Lijue turned his head slightly and glanced at her casually.
"If there's no burn, why are you looking for me? Could it be... you're trying to extort money from me by staging an accident?"
His voice was deep and magnetic, but it contained a hint of barely perceptible mockery.
