It turned out to be the girl from that day
Ning Zhengqing inadvertently caught a glimpse of the sweet interaction between the two, frowned, and felt that the mellow taste of the Lafite red wine in his mouth instantly became bland.
I shouldn't have sat so close.
After the song was over, the piano stopped playing, and the woman in the blue backless dress stood up, walked to the center of the stage and bowed to take her bow.
Suddenly, applause broke out and lasted for a long time.
At this time, Ning Zhengqing saw her face clearly, and his heart was shocked. This face looked very much like that beautiful and elegant girl.
Wen Lan was feeling a little lonely. She heard Sheng Yuanhan's voice before going on stage. She was surprised and delighted to hear him announce his girlfriend on the spot.
He actually fell in love.
A bitter feeling filled her heart. She thought Sheng Yuanhan had been indifferent to her because he focused more on his career and was not interested in love between men and women. She didn't expect that he just didn't like her.
She felt a tightness in her chest and didn't want to think about it anymore, so she forced herself to divert her attention.
When she came to the main table, she couldn't control her emotions and called out with a choked voice, "Uncle Lu."
Lu Chengye was shocked. This was the precious daughter of the Wen family. If she was wronged by him, how would he explain to the Wen family?
"What's wrong? Why does your voice sound a little hoarse?"
Wen Lan forced a smile, but her eyes were red. "I'm fine, just a little hoarse in the throat."
"I'm glad you're okay. Please sit down, niece." Lu Chengye had no intention of prying into the younger generation's thoughts. He just thought that she was thinking of something unhappy.
Wen Lan was not in a hurry. After hesitating, he looked at Sheng Yuanhan and called out, "Brother Yuanhan."
Sheng Yuanhan nodded slightly, his face calm.
Wen Lan lowered his head. He was still the same. When facing herself, he always looked cold and distant.
She was even a little jealous of the woman beside him.
Ning Qian glanced at Wen Lan when she heard the voice, and saw that the girl in front of her had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and was very charming.
There is such a beautiful girl by his side. It seems that I am lucky to catch his eye.
She couldn't help but wonder, would she still be able to bully Sheng Yuanhan with this face in the future?
At this time, Lin Yuyi curled her lips slightly. This girl was younger and more beautiful than herself, but she still failed to impress Sheng Yuanhan.
Thinking of this, she looked at Ning Qian with a scrutinizing look. In terms of beauty alone, the three of them were almost identical. Could it be that she relied on her family background? But the Sheng family was already famous and wealthy enough to rival a country. Who else did she need help from?
She was really curious about how this woman had won over Mr. Sheng.
At this moment, Ning Zhengqing's eyes were all on Wen Lan, and even the hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly.
He had imagined the scene of meeting her again countless times, but he didn't expect it to be at a banquet.
Perhaps this is the legendary fate.
Wen Lan noticed Ning Zhengqing's gaze, raised her head slightly, and met his eyes.
There was a mist in her eyes, and she looked helpless, like a lost deer.
Ning Zhengqing's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he felt that she was breathtakingly beautiful.
He soon realized that something was wrong and lowered his eyes to avoid Wen Lan's gaze.
Wen Lan was even slightly surprised. This man seemed familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
But she really couldn't remember.
The host on the stage was reading out the evening program, and after a while a group of classical dancers appeared on the stage, dancing to the music.
At this moment, a girl dressed like a European medieval princess walked into the venue. Her beautiful and flamboyant appearance attracted the attention of others.
"Did this girl come to the wrong venue?"
"Yeah, I haven't heard of a Copy party here."
"Don't talk nonsense. Anyone who can come here must be rich or noble. Be careful not to say the wrong thing and offend others."
At this time, someone who had seen Sheng Yao lowered his head and said, "You don't even know her? She is the second daughter of the Sheng family. She has a wicked temper. It's best not to mess with her."
When the others heard this, they immediately shut up.
Sheng Yao held up her skirt and chattered non-stop, "Secretary Zhang, please walk faster. We won't be able to catch up with Sister Wen's performance later."
Zhang Xu followed behind her, holding up the hem of her long skirt, fearing that she would trip and fall to the ground the next second.
"Yaoyao, slow down, I think I've missed it..."
"Missed it?" Sheng Yao immediately slowed down.
"Yes, Miss Wen was the opening performer, and now she is performing the second program."
"It's over. I promised to show my support for Sister Wen, but now I've messed it up."
"Yaoyao, it's okay. I'm sure Miss Wen won't blame you." Zhang Xu slowed down his speech, his voice gentle and clear.
He felt his patience grow again.
"Where is Sister Wen? Please help me find her." Sheng Yao rushed around in the conference hall.
Zhang Xu was smart. He started from the most conspicuous position and soon found Wen Lan.
"I saw Miss Wen, at the table in the middle."
Sheng Yao looked in the direction and saw Wen Lan.
"Hurry up, let's go now."
Sheng Yao walked hurriedly in front, and Wen Lan heard her voice before she saw her.
"Sister Wen, I'm sorry I'm late."
Wen Lan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sheng Yao running towards him at the speed of an arrow.
"Yaoyao, you're here?"
"It's all my fault. The hairdresser was so slow in braiding my hair that it took me a while. Otherwise, I would have arrived a long time ago."
Sheng Yao stood beside her with a look of grievance.
Wen Lan laughed awkwardly, "It's okay, sit down first, your brother is here too."
Sheng Yao thought she was hallucinating, "What do you mean my brother? He should be at home now."
"Brother Yuanhan is here." Wen Lan indicated the direction with his eyes.
At this moment, Sheng Yao shifted her gaze over, and the next second, she pointed at Sheng Yuanhan and Ning Qian in surprise, "Why are you here?"
A conflicted look flashed across Ning Qian's face as she wondered whether she should say hello to her.
Sheng Yuanhan raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Sit down."
Sheng Yao glared at Ning Qian in dissatisfaction, "You..."
Before she could finish her words, Sheng Yuanhan interrupted her coldly, "Sheng Yao, this is not home, don't speak without restraint."
Sheng Yao then sat down holding her breath.
Seeing that she was no longer insisting, Sheng Yuanhan slowly loosened his grip.
[Oh no, she's here too.]
[If I insult Ning Qian right then and there, how am I going to face her in the future?]
【It's time for her to study etiquette. 】
…
Xu Yuhe glanced at Sheng Yao secretly and saw that she had a stern face and looked cold and arrogant.
His expression darkened and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Ning Qian. This girl was more difficult to get along with than he had imagined.
Zhang Xu caught up at this time. When he saw Sheng Yuanhan sitting in the main seat, his face suddenly turned pale. He remembered that there was no evening party in Mr. Sheng's itinerary.
"Mr. Sheng, hello Miss Ning."
Sheng Yuanhan seemed to have found the culprit at this time, and his expression was stern. "Secretary Zhang, explain what's going on."
Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Xu's face, even Lu Chengye held his breath.
"It's like this. Miss Wen was going to play the piano on stage, and Yaoyao, as her best friend, came to support her. That's what you saw later."
"Well, sit down."
After Sheng Yuanhan understood the situation, he asked him to sit next to Sheng Yao.
Only in this way can we keep her under control.
If Sheng Yao, who is dressed up, is asked to go back directly, given her personality, she probably will not agree.
So the main table was full.
Ning Zhengqing, who was looking at them at this time, was even more surprised. This rude and unreasonable girl was actually his sister.
I thought she came to my house by accident that day, but it turned out she did it on purpose.
What was the reason for that? He couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Sheng Yao also noticed Ning Zhengqing staring at her with deep eyes.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the corners of her complaining mouth slightly pursed, revealing faint dimples on both sides.
Ning Zhengqing raised his eyebrows in disbelief. Is she afraid of him?
Then he denied it again. She looked fearless, so how could she be afraid of him?
Perhaps because what she had done was exposed, she avoided his gaze guiltily.
Ning Qian was tugging at her skirt at this time, feeling like she was sitting in a Shura field, gathering all the people she didn't want to meet.
After the performances on stage one after another, it was time to show the jewelry.
Tall hostesses came on stage one after another, holding dazzling jewelry, such as a flying-wing hair crown inlaid with diamonds, colorful gem bracelets, and a dancing phoenix ring.
Ning Qian's eyes flashed with admiration. He is indeed a first-class jeweler with a unique aesthetic that is admirable.
Sheng Yuanhan noticed her reaction and turned his head to ask, "Which one do you like?"
Ning Qian was about to say that she had her eye on a leaf-shaped emerald necklace, but then she remembered the endless jewellery in her jewellery box and shook her head, saying, "I already have so many necklaces, I can't buy any more."
"Oh, so you're interested in the necklace?"
"Ah, I didn't say I wanted to buy it."
Ning Qian always felt that Sheng Yuanhan didn't understand what she meant.
"Well, you don't have to buy it, I'll do it."
"No need really, I don't have any favorites."
Sheng Yuanhan asked in confusion, "So you like them all?"
Ning Qian was stunned by his question. Indeed, she thought every one of them was good.
"If you don't tell me, I'll buy all the necklaces you just bought." In Sheng Yuanhan's eyes, these jewels were not expensive.
"I said, I like a white and green necklace." Ning Qian didn't want him to squander like that.
"You really don't want anything else?" Sheng Yuanhan asked again.
"I really don't want it. The house can't hold it anymore." Ning Qian has never felt that buying jewelry is like buying cabbage as she does now.
Sheng Yuanhan no longer forced Lu Chengye to keep the necklace.
Lu Chengye nodded repeatedly and looked back to see who designed the style. His bonus for that month would be doubled.
Wen Lan listened to the conversation between the two and felt that the smile on his lips became more bitter.
Sheng Yao glanced at her brother. If it were before, she would have complained about why he didn't buy one for herself, but now, for some reason, she didn't want to show her willful side in front of Ning Zhengqing.
She felt depressed. Why did she become so timid in front of him, always afraid of showing a bad side of herself?
She lowered her eyes to look at her own outfit. It was a gorgeous palace-style, fluffy, floor-length dress with colors as rich and bright as an oil painting. It was both romantic and elegant, and exuded a sense of luxury and nobility.
She has a graceful figure and skin as white and delicate as cream, even she herself can't let go of her.
He won't say he's a child this time, right?
Half an hour later, the jewelry display was over and the hotel started serving the food.
The dishes are Chinese food, with common delicacies from land and sea, abalone, lobster, grouper, sea cucumber, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, beef and mutton, etc.
Xu Yuhe stared with his eyes wide open. This table of food was a fatal temptation for a hungry college student.
If being a star means eating these every day, he would be willing to be a star for life.
The party had been going on for a while, and the people present finally waited for the dishes to be served. They couldn't help but drool as they looked at the steaming delicacies.
But everyone tacitly did not move their chopsticks, and their eyes were on Sheng Yuanhan.
This strange atmosphere made Ning Qian retract the chopsticks she wanted to reach out.
Sheng Yuanhan reluctantly picked up a piece of fragrant lobster ball and placed it in Ning Qian's bowl. He then said to the others, "Everyone, please don't be shy. Please enjoy your meal."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became lively, filled with laughter.
Only then did Ning Zhengqing truly realize that this man's status and position were such that others had to observe his words and expressions.
Ning Qian chewed the lobster ball in her mouth and felt the delicious taste lingering in her mouth.
She extended her chopsticks to pick up a piece for Sheng Yuanhan as well, "Try it too."
Sheng Yuanhan took a sip and commented: "The taste is okay."
[She even remembers to pick up food for me. What a thoughtful baby.]
Ning Qian paused for a moment with the chopsticks in her hand, and picked up another piece of fish for him.
Sheng Yuanhan didn't like eating fish, so he finished it immediately after hesitating.
[The taste is average, but it was picked by my dear, so I have to give him some respect.]
Ning Qian had a hint of a smile on her lips, and she inexplicably felt that he was a little cute like this.
Wen Lan lowered her eyes, poking her chopsticks on the plate, looking absent-minded.
Sheng Yao sighed slightly, holding her chin and thinking to herself, it seems that I can't become a sister-in-law, so why not introduce my cousin to Sister Wen.
