Inside the penthouse suite.
"Invite me to attend Cheng Yi's daughter's coming-of-age ceremony?"
“Yes, Mr. Shen.
Well, that's a bit presumptuous. But... Yinyin has loved her father since she was a child. She would definitely be very happy if you could attend her coming-of-age ceremony.
I know you don't like noise.
I'll reserve a room on the second floor of the banquet hall for you.
That's the guest lounge, and it's pretty soundproof when the door is closed.
You can also stand on the terrace and see the banquet hall without being disturbed by anyone. Is this okay?"
Now that things have come to this.
"……Can."
He decided to go there reluctantly. Although he looked down upon some aspects of Cheng Yi's behavior, he still owed Cheng Yi a favor.
The location arranged by Cheng Yuan was very considerate. There was no one in the rooms on both sides, ensuring it was quiet enough. The curved terrace extending above the banquet hall was not big, but it was more than enough for one person to stay there.
There was no particularly loud noise in the banquet hall below, but there was melodious and cheerful piano music floating up from time to time as background music.
Mr. Shen stayed in the room and did not go to the terrace to watch the fun.
He sat on the sofa, silent and motionless, as if he could sit like this forever as long as he wanted, until the end of time, until he turned into a stone sculpture.
His face was not only dull and emotionless, at this moment, it seemed as if he didn't even have the energy of a living being on his face.
Until his cuffs moved, and then something slipped out of his cuffs, nudged his palm, and made a milky sound, "bu~"
Only then did he wake up from his lifeless state and lowered his head to look at the palm of his hand.
It was a transparent little man that was not even as big as a palm. It could not be completely called a little man. Although it had a head and an upper body, it had nothing below the waist. It only had a relatively rough "tail" that supported it to float around.
It doesn't have obvious facial features, only the rough outlines of glasses, nose and mouth, but there are two small teardrop moles under the corners of its eyes.
Weird and a little cute.
It might be feeling a little bored and curious about the noise downstairs.
So it kept nudging his palm, making a "bu~bu~" sound, and the tip of its tail moved little by little towards the terrace.
Mr. Shen rubbed the two small teardrop moles under the villain's eyes with his fingertips and said, "Want to go and see?"
"Bu~" The little guy rubbed against Mr. Shen's fingertips, obviously acting coquettishly.
"Is it because she lived in your mirror for a while? Even you are so good at acting like a spoiled child."
Mr. Shen's eyes softened, "Then go and have a look."
He said and stood up.
The little figure floated beside him, obviously a little disoriented with joy, and kept circling around him.
"No, no, stop it."
He snapped his fingers lightly, and the little man felt heavier and heavier, and could hardly move. He could only cling to his clothes, lie on his shoulders, and look down with him.
…
"Thank you all for coming to my coming-of-age ceremony."
Sijiu held the microphone and smiled sweetly at everyone.
"I am really happy that so many people are with me at this important moment when I turn 18.
Taking advantage of this particularly happy day, I would like to announce something even happier.”
The girl's eyes moved, looking at her brothers in turn, and then stopped at Lin Su.
"Mr. Lin, can you come up for a moment?" She gave the man a playful smile, and when she called him Mr. Lin, her tone seemed to have a bit of inexplicable tenderness.
Lin Su's heartbeat quickened instantly.
As she watched, he walked towards her.
At this point, no one, including Lin Su, knew what she wanted to do.
But the next second, her action made everyone hold their breath.
The girl raised her left hand and took off a ring from it. Then she looked at Lin Su with a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, would you like me to put the ring on you?"
She held the ring in one hand and stretched out the other towards him, her bright eyes only looking at him.
