My heart was in turmoil.
The girl who had just come in with me reluctantly nudged my hand and whispered in my ear, "This is Mr. Zhou. He's so charming and alluring. Does he still need women? I thought he was an old man with a big belly. With his conditions, I'm willing to pay him even if it means nothing..."
I listened to the little girl's words without commenting. How could I, who was so miserable, be worthy of such a beautiful man?
He sat quietly at the main table, attracting many people's attention, but he just stared at a dish on the table calmly, not knowing what he was thinking.
A purple silk scarf hidden underneath was faintly visible on the chest of his suit.
For a moment, the tears in my eyes could no longer be stopped and finally fell.
No wonder the scarf was gone again when I woke up in the hospital.
I guess when he woke up from the explosion and found that his scarf was gone, the first thing he asked someone to do was to send someone to find it.
The scarf went around in circles and finally returned to his hands.
During the dinner, many CEOs brought their own "stand-ins" and came forward to toast Zhou Bingchen, trying to make friends with him.
Zhou Binchen had a cold face throughout the whole process, and he politely refused on the grounds that his injury had not yet healed.
At this point, Xie Chenyu saw that the time had come, so he stood up without even looking at me. He tilted his head back and said to me, "Be smart later. When you toast, pour the wine on him, and then touch him there. Do you understand?"
I was speechless for a moment and my face turned red for no reason. I didn't know that this man was more capable than a woman.
Seeing him coming forward with a glass of wine, I pulled my too-short skirt and followed him with the glass of wine.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I'm Xie Chenyu from the Xie Group. Nice to meet you. This is my gift to you. Please accept it!"
After Xie Chenyu finished speaking, he pushed me forward.
For a moment, everyone in the audience was stunned, and their eyes were all on me.
They were really worried about Xie Chenyu, as he actually put the matter of giving women away openly. Otherwise, they would only dare to give them away secretly, and the women might not accept them.
Besides, the last boss who gave this big boss a woman in public had already gone bankrupt and was driven out of Yuncheng crying and wailing.
I saw everyone looking at me with joking eyes, and I didn't understand what was going on, so I just took out a box and handed it to Zhou Bingchen to open.
The manager just told me to keep this gift safe. Xie Chenyu had someone specially make it for Zhou Binchen.
When the guests saw me take out the box, they suddenly realized that the heir of the Xie family was not that stupid. He gave me a serious gift, not a woman.
The box slowly opened.
When everyone's curious eyes fell on the beautifully crafted hairpin in the box, they all praised its exquisite craftsmanship.
I also looked over and was stunned when I saw the hairpin in the box.
It was a pair of red-billed lovebird hairpins inlaid with gems of various colors. The two birds looked lifelike, standing on the branches and feeding each other mouth to mouth. It was so beautiful that it resembled the heartwarming scene I saw under the tree when I was a child.
Similarly, Zhou Bingchen's eyes fell on the hairpin and could not be moved away for a long time.
He placed his well-knuckled fingers on the hairpin and rubbed it gently, as if recalling something, with the corners of his eyes slightly red.
Someone around exclaimed, "Isn't this the red-billed lovebird that President Zhou painted himself? President Xie was so thoughtful in giving this gift!"
My hand covering the gift box was shaking slightly, and my heart was like a raging storm and couldn't calm down.
Does he still remember that time when he and I flew over the mountains on the Red-billed Leiothrix glider?
Do you remember the deep kiss he and I had in the dark night at the hotel?
Remember I told him to live well?
But didn’t God erase the memories of everyone except Ji Linting and Qiao Zhixian?
I stared at him and my eyes suddenly felt sore. I had the urge to hug him in front of so many people.
But I can't.
Even if I were to see the child, I couldn't tell him my identity.
I've already disappeared from his sight once and hurt him once.
We can't push him into the abyss of pain anymore.
Maybe one day, Yao Zitong's soul will come back as soon as it says so, and I will disappear again.
Just as he was thinking, Zhou Bingchen in front of him spoke, looking at Xie Chenyu indifferently, "I like Mr. Xie's gift very much, so I will accept it."
Xie Chenyu's attention was always on Zhou Binchen, his palms were sweating from anxiety, and he didn't notice at all that the woman next to him was me.
He was even more delighted when he saw Zhou Bingchen accepting the gift.
You know, as far as he knew, this big shot had never accepted any gifts from anyone before, no matter how valuable they were.
He was bent over at the moment, a flattering smile on his face, completely devoid of the usual arrogance and dominance he displayed in his circle of wealthy second-generations. He nudged the woman next to him again and urged, "Hurry up and toast to President Zhou!"
I took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass again and put on a sincere smile. As soon as I opened my mouth, the words that came out of my mouth turned into, "Does your wound hurt?"
As I said this, my hand unconsciously touched the wound on his forehead that had not yet scabbed over.
I was halfway through extending my hand when I realized what I had just said and done.
I originally wanted to say what the manager taught me, but for some reason, when I got closer and saw the scratch on his forehead, I blurted out those words.
The banquet hall, which was bustling just now, was now so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared at me as if they were enjoying a good show.
Because in their understanding, the last woman who touched Zhou Binchen inappropriately had her hand pulled off by Zhou Binchen on the spot, and had to go to several hospitals before it was reattached.
