Chapter 522 Discovery
Mu Liansheng became the most special one again, and seemed to be the most unforgettable one in her mind.
He was like that mentally twisted child in the crowd who particularly needed attention. In such a happy scene, Xiao Jingrun was happy to act as a photographer.
It seemed like this was just like their childhood, leaving the most special memories.
But now there is Jiang Zhiyue among them.
This seemed to be the case. If Jiang Wanrou had not been lost, she should have been like she is now, standing among them and becoming an indispensable part of this picture.
Amid the applause of the audience, the moment the giant cake was cut, under the gorgeous crystal chandelier, the girl's bright eyes, as clear as glass, were reflected. Qin Si took her hand and walked up to the stage, holding her fair and tender little hand tightly, "Do you like it? It's my gift."
All of this splendor was built under his supervision to create a perfect new world for her.
As the sweet icing on the cake slowly peels off, she will usher in a new life, forgetting the sufferings of the past and leaving behind the setbacks of the past.
Her gorgeous life will be accompanied by the moment when Xiao Jingrun presses the shutter for her. She can look down from a high place at all the proud children of the past.
This beautiful and glamorous world can really easily dazzle people. The luxury of high-class banquets with beautiful women in fancy clothes and clinking glasses can numb people's perception of suffering for a moment.
"I have applied for an internship exchange student at Lici University for the next semester." Jiang Zhiyue shook her head and said softly. Her eyes seemed to pass through the bottom and saw Chu Junyue through the bright window mirror.
Perhaps Chu Junyue's unusual behavior, his act of being distant but unable to help getting closer to her, might make people misunderstand that he had not left for a long time, just to witness this moment.
She stood at the highest point, looking down at him with her eyes, and the man beside her was extremely strong. His cold and slender fingers completely wrapped around her wrist, without the hindrance of gloves. Their skin pressed against each other in the sweet atmosphere of the cake, giving off a hint of cloyingness.
"Zhiyue, look at me."
The lights were all focused on them, and her eyes shouldn't fall on others.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't know why, perhaps because the light was too dazzling, the focused light illuminated her pretty little face. She was lightly made up, but it was hard to look away.
She vaguely saw a figure flash behind Chu Junyue, as if someone wanted to rush in. A brilliant light shone, and the strong light made Jiang Zhiyue close her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, Chu Junyue's shadow was gone.
Everything is like an illusion.
"Zhiyue." Qin Si's voice sounded again, close to her ear, "Look at me."
Jiang Zhiyue looked into his eyes, which were naturally cold but showed a hint of tenderness. She said, "Just now... I might have seen it wrong."
It seemed as if she saw a figure beside Chu Junyue. The figure was like a shadow hidden behind the window mirror, rushing towards her like an overwhelming force, just like having a nightmare in the middle of the night and seeing a ghost hand with bared fangs and claws, eager to grab her away.
Although it was a birthday party, Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help but think of the nightmare she had a few nights ago. She dreamed that a faceless woman came to her. The woman claimed to be her biological mother and claimed to inherit and dominate everything she had. She was quickly packaged and sent to the wedding room of a powerful person.
As for that powerful person...she couldn't see his face clearly in her dream.
This was exactly the scene she had dreamed of the night she had her showdown with Sheng Huaian.
Jiang Zhiyue was silent. Qin Si noticed that her expression did not change at all. She looked towards the window calmly.
Just took a glance and then looked away.
"There's nothing to see." Even though Qin Si is such a cold person and never expresses his thoughts, who can guess how he feels at this moment?
It turns out that in this world, the definitions he once despised were not wrong. In this world, what affects emotions and senses is not death, but feelings.
His cold palms gradually became warmer as he held her hand. This was a very normal reaction of the human body. However, because his body senses were gradually returning to normal, this seemed abnormal.
In this magnificent banquet hall, like an engagement ceremony, what does Qin Si want to do?
He agreed to co-host the birthday party with Sheng Huaian, so why did he personally supervise it? In the end, it was just for his own benefit.
He had secretly issued a killing order to the three states in the identity of Jiang Zhiyue's fiancé, but this was ultimately wishful thinking on his part. Qin Si was unwilling to do something shameful in private.
He wanted to be closer to Jiang Zhiyue. Apart from the emotionless parent-child relationship, the only role left in this world was that of a wife.
When Jiang Zhiyue talked to her friends, he tried to participate in her world and observe her world. When Jiang Zhiyue needed some space alone, he would withdraw appropriately and stay with his rivals.
Qin Si believed that he was slowly learning... to be patient enough.
——Will she marry him?
This is what Qin Si wanted to do when he was preparing the bouquet.
He led Jiang Zhiyue to the podium, welcoming everyone's attention, and looked at Sheng Huaian who was restraining himself from stepping forward to stop them in public.
Qin Si felt happy. There was no doubt that he had once again become the winner of this tug-of-war.
But every time he was about to win the first place and marry the beauty, it was just a thought. Qin Si took Jiang Zhiyue's thoughts into consideration. Under the attention of everyone, becoming his fiancée might be a good thing, but for him, this was not something Jiang Zhiyue necessarily wanted to accept.
The man just held her hands tighter, and all the words of blessing he wanted to express were turned into these big hands, which he placed on his lips and kissed gently.
There is no man who cannot learn to be gentle.
It just depends on who this tenderness is shown to.
The rivals in the audience were envious, jealous and resentful, but they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Si was a man who loved to use shady tricks, and they could all see that he wanted to propose to her. With such a big show, facing Qin Si's eyes full of affection that seemed to want to devour her, perhaps only Jiang Zhiyue would be distracted at that moment.
It was Jiang Zhiyue who was distracted and didn't realize that something was wrong. She looked out the window frequently, as if something had attracted her attention.
Sheng Huaian also turned his head to look, but saw nothing.
"Wasn't my brother here just now?" Chu Junche came over holding a piece of cake and turned his head, "Huh? Where is he? He's so mysterious and weird."
"You are worthy of being a man who has been heartbroken." Chu Junche gave a classic summary and forked the cake to Jiang Zhiyue's mouth.
But I saw the girl's long dress dragging on the ground, gently brushing against the clean, dust-free ground, like a flowing golden quicksand.
She suddenly pushed open the outer door of the banquet hall.
