Lin Qingtong pursed her lips slightly, her clear eyes gazing at Shen Tinghe.
Do I have a choice?
Shen Tinghe stroked Lin Qingtong's hair with his long fingers, "No one can force you if you don't want to."
After returning to the private room, Master Shen told the person next to him about what had just happened, exaggerating and praising Lin Qingtong to the skies.
Some people began to question: "Is it really as good as you say? If it's that good, why are you hiding it and not wanting us to see it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Shen's smile grew even colder and more hypocritical.
"It must be too good, so I don't want to bring it out to introduce it to everyone, for fear that someone will snatch it away."
Although those relatives questioned Master Shen's words, because Shen Tinghe was not that kind of person.
However, they had also heard more or less about Shen Tinghe's official announcement of his girlfriend, which was quite different from his previous personality.
What if it's true?
So everyone started to look forward to Shen Tinghe bringing Lin Qingtong, wanting to meet that legendary, exceptionally good woman.
Master Shen curled the corners of his lips, his heart filled with smugness.
As long as you portray Lin Qingtong well enough, in the end, she won't meet your expectations.
Then many members of the Shen family will feel deceived and thus target Lin Qingtong.
Just then, the door to the private room slowly opened, revealing Shen Tinghe's handsome face.
In that instant, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Tinghe.
Their eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that Shen Tinghe would appear with Lin Qingtong.
Shen Tinghe strode into the private room, casually found a place to sit down, and adopted an extremely cold demeanor.
There was no one following him anymore.
The people in the private room were now in an awkward situation. They had all thought that Shen Tinghe would bring his girlfriend, but he hadn't brought her at all.
Many people felt that Fenfen was just a woman, why did she need to hide so deeply? They weren't going to eat Lin Qingtong.
But these people didn't show it; they just smiled and joked insincerely.
"Why didn't Ninth Master bring his girlfriend over to meet us?"
"Yes, it would be wonderful if we could have double happiness. Is your girlfriend too shy to bring her out?"
Although Master Shen was somewhat disappointed, he still chose to embellish the story.
"Shen Tinghe, this won't do. What girls value most is a proper title. How can you not even give them a title?"
Shen Tinghe sat there lazily, his gaze lingering indifferently on Second Master Shen, mocking him mercilessly.
"I can't do that, like my second brother, who goes around giving people names and titles."
After he finished speaking, his gaze swept over Lin Jiaorui beside him, as if he were implying something.
Although Lin Qingtong and the others brought up the matter between Lin Jiaorui and Master Shen when the last Celebrity Home Furnishings opened.
But Master Shen concealed it well enough that not many people knew.
Only Madam Shen the Second and Shen Yibo knew about it.
Madam Shen remained calm, but Shen Yibo couldn't hide his displeasure, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
Lin Jiaorui panicked immediately. With the engagement banquet fast approaching, such an accident could not be allowed to happen, so she immediately stood up and questioned him.
"Master Shen, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Tinghe scoffed, "Did I talk about you? Why are you jumping out to admit it yourself?"
The atmosphere in the private room seemed a bit tense, while Lin Qingtong was chatting with Song Kai.
Through chatting, she discovered that she and Song Kai had attended the same elementary school and had even sat at desks next to each other.
Lin Qingtong covered her mouth in surprise and chuckled: "What a coincidence! No wonder I felt so familiar with Mr. Song the first time I saw him."
Song Kai smiled gently in response.
"I just remembered that too."
But in reality, he remembered who Lin Qingtong was the moment he saw her, and their meeting was not an accident, but a carefully planned scheme.
Song Kai was surprised to find that Lin Qingtong was already with Shen Tinghe.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he made a suggestion.
"There's a primary school reunion in a few days, would you like to come?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong immediately refused.
"No, I'd rather not. My sister's engagement is in a few days and I might not be able to handle it."
This was just one reason she refused to attend the class reunion; she didn't want to chat with people she didn't know well.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Song Kai's eyes. If he missed this opportunity, how would he find an excuse to see Lin Qingtong next time?
At that moment, he suddenly remembered something, took a brochure out of his pocket, and handed it to Lin Qingtong.
"By the way, this is a business summit in a few days. Many new products from various industries related to cosmetics will be showcased at the event."
"Are you interested? You can call me along, I'm looking forward to checking it out."
Upon hearing about the business summit, Lin Qingtong's eyes lit up instantly.
He'd rather focus on his career than socializing.
So Lin Qingtong readily agreed and made an appointment with Song Kai.
On the way back, Shen Tinghe didn't tell Lin Qingtong what happened in the private room, but only asked her about it.
"Have you bought the wedding dress for the engagement party? If not, let's go pick one out together."
Lin Qingtong then remembered this matter; she had originally planned to just pick any clothes and go to the event.
But after what happened at the bidding meeting today, she decided that she couldn't let Lin Jiaorui off so easily, especially since there would be a big show to watch that day.
"I wasn't prepared, I didn't know. Are the dress shops still open?"
Shen Tinghe smiled, he had been waiting for Lin Qingtong to say those words.
"Even if the door isn't open, I'll make it open."
