Her gaze was shimmering and full of affection, but it was all because of him.
"Why are you standing here?" Father Shen had been enjoying himself immensely lately, walking with a brisk pace. When he saw Xue Xuan and Shen Wangshu standing silently in the corridor watching him, he immediately looked puzzled.
His eyes fell on Shen Wangshu's exceptionally red lips for a moment, and he immediately snorted coldly, but said nothing.
"What is Uncle busy with?" Xue Xuan asked.
Shen's father was not one to take advantage of others. Even though he was pursuing his daughter, Shen's Jewelry never took anything from Xue Xuan for free.
Shen's father insisted on clear accounting, stating that Xue Xuan should receive exactly the amount due.
Xue Xuan admired such character, and since he was going to marry the daughter that Shen's father had raised with great difficulty over the years, he should naturally be more respectful.
"Things for the celebration banquet." When Mr. Shen mentioned this, his eyes lit up slightly. He said to Shen Wangshu, "I'm going to invite people from Ouyang Jewelry. Last time we saw how smug they were, so this time we'll return the favor and let them know how precious the treasures they lost are!"
Those blind fools who don't value his daughter, treating gold and jade like worthless stones! This time, Shen's Jewelry is making a big splash, and the chief designer happens to be one of those scoundrels who used to look down on her. He has to make them come and see Shen Wangshu's glory with their own eyes, to let them know what they've really lost.
Father Shen wanted to make them regret it, to make them beat their chests and stamp their feet in despair whenever they thought about it.
Compared to that Gao Wanning, his daughter is the real gem.
"What?!" Xue Xuan's face immediately turned displeased.
He still remembers that Ouyang Yu almost got engaged to Shen Wangshu.
However, he was only slightly jealous. His eyes darted around, and he seemed to have thought of something, so he didn't refute it.
"Forget it, why bother seeing them and getting in our way?" Shen Wangshu understood Xue Xuan's feelings and said gently to her father, "Their lives are not easy. Let them know that we are doing well, that's enough."
She didn't want Ouyang Yu to show up and spoil Xue Xuan's mood.
"This..." Father Shen hesitated for a moment, noticing that Shen Wangshu's beautiful eyes kept falling on Xue Xuan. He knew that his daughter was worried about Xue Xuan, and he snorted jealously twice. However, he was obviously more concerned about his future son-in-law's feelings than anything else, so he nodded and said, "Then forget it. Old man Ouyang has been very rude to me lately, and I'm too lazy to invite them. What if they ruin your celebration banquet?"
He was mentally wiping the Ouyang family members out of his mind and thinking of inviting more prominent families when he saw Xue Xuan cough softly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Wangshu asked with a smile.
"Call them here," Xue Xuan said.
"It will make you unhappy." Shen Wangshu didn't want Xue Xuan to force her.
"Anyone else can skip this, but Ouyang Yu, you must bring him." What does it mean to be unforgettable? Master Xue still remembers Ouyang Yu's name; that's unforgettable.
He narrowed his eyes, as if this name would be etched into his very soul for a lifetime. He lowered his voice and whispered in Shen Wangshu's ear, "Let him know that he has lost the best girl in the world. Let him see me standing by your side." He paused slightly, then revealed his true purpose, saying with a hint of smugness, "Let him know that he has no chance anymore!"
"It's up to you," Shen Wangshu said, suppressing a laugh.
She looked up at him with a bright, indulgent gaze, and Xue Xuan couldn't help but feel a little smug. He was even more eager to see that Ouyang Yu.
That kid needs to know he's out of luck!
He felt Shen Wangshu's indulgence and closeness towards him, and what made him even happier was her complete trust in him.
"Let's go outside and talk in a bit," he said softly, pulling Shen Wangshu's hand. He glanced at Shen's father and saw that his future father-in-law was staring at him with a blank look. He immediately felt that his future father-in-law was very tactless.
However, as a cultured and filial son-in-law, Master Xue silently tolerated it, leaning against Shen Wangshu side by side, subtly pushing away Shen's father a little, before suggesting to Shen Wangshu, "I had someone build a small pavilion in the courtyard. How about we go out for some coffee and snacks?" His eyes were full of anticipation.
“Okay.” Shen Wangshu has been quite tired lately, so she’s naturally willing to take some time to relax.
"Is Uncle going?" Xue Xuan asked politely.
However, his eyes were full of the message, "Don't come."
"Go." Before Father Shen could finish asking what to do about the banquet, he naturally wouldn't let the two of them be alone, and said through gritted teeth.
"Uncle, if you're busy..." Xue Xuanzhen was just being polite. If anyone dared to be so rude on a normal day, he would have thrown them out to be fed to the wolves long ago.
However, thinking again that this was his future father-in-law, Master Xue remained silent and restrained, but his eyes were filled with a sinister and dark light, and he secretly showed a bit of malice to Shen's father. When he saw Shen's father sticking his neck out and pulling Shen Wangshu to look at him, he turned his face and still had a calm look on his face, and said to Shen Wangshu, "Let's not delay your uncle's business."
"I'm not busy!" This man dared to threaten him behind his daughter's back. Father Shen was furious and immediately raised his voice.
"Actually, Dad, you're quite busy." Shen Wangshu coughed lightly and said dutifully, "If you're really not busy, why don't you take a nap and get some rest?"
Xue Xuan's lips curled up slightly as he glanced at Shen Fu with a smug look.
Shen's father was heartbroken, watching his beloved daughter being taken away by Xue Xuan and now having nothing to do with him.
