She didn't want to see Shen Shuya in such a glamorous state at this moment, nor did she want to see Master Xue's doting expression towards Shen Shuya, so she turned away angrily.
Seeing that she was behaving herself, Ouyang Tang felt relieved. He straightened his collar and went over to greet her.
Xue Xuan had a good impression of him, and moreover, he was able to find a new path to the jade market, which showed his talent, so naturally Xue Xuan thought highly of him.
"Hello." Ouyang Tang is indeed a talented person. Shen Wangshu had long guessed that even though he was kicked out of Ouyang Jewelry in his previous life, his life probably wasn't too bad. Now he was even more confident.
"Miss Shen looks radiant today." Ouyang Tang offered a dry compliment, not wanting to offend Master Xue with overly enthusiastic praise. Seeing that Master Xue's gaze indeed changed from wary to satisfied, he twitched the corner of his mouth.
Is this nervous Mr. Xue thinking that his sweetheart is a heartthrob?
"Thank you." Shen Wangshu secretly squeezed Xue Xuan's fingers, signaling him to look away.
Ouyang Tang isn't a love rival, so there's no need to look at people with the "love rival must die!" mentality.
“There are quite a few people at home today.” Ouyang Tang coughed lightly, making the two guys who seemed to be holding hands so naturally that it hurt one’s eyes look at him. While thinking with a straight face whether he should find a girlfriend, he lowered his voice and said, “Master Xue’s status is extraordinary. There are quite a few young ladies who admire Master Xue today.”
He was silent for a moment before continuing, "My younger sister admires Master Xue, but she is young and doesn't understand. Master Xue, please don't pay any attention to her." After thinking for a while, he decided to tell the two of them.
Since Miss Shen had spoken well of him to Master Xue, preventing Master Xue from exterminating the Ouyang family, he naturally had to repay this favor.
"Who?" Shen Wangshu couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"My younger sister." Ouyang Tang himself did not have a younger sister, so he was naturally referring to Ouyang Huan.
Ugly people often cause trouble.
Ouyang Tang fell silent.
If it were Miss Shen, who was consumed by jealousy, who said those words, he could understand. But why did this Master Xue speak with a cold laugh before Miss Shen had even spoken?
Although Ouyang Huan wasn't extremely beautiful, she was young, lively, and full of energy—a very pretty girl. Why couldn't she catch Xue Ye's eye? Why was she considered ugly and troublesome? He didn't know what to say, nor could he join in cursing his cousin. He could only stand silently opposite Shen Wangshu, expressing his feelings and attitude with his silent gaze.
"Alright, she's just a young girl. You don't even like her, so why get angry?"
"She's after me; this is a sign of disrespect!"
"Let's just ignore her for a bit, okay!"
Ouyang Tang watched as the eldest daughter of the Shen family gently comforted the cold-faced young man, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Something seems off about this conversation.
"Thank you for coming to tell us," Shen Wangshu said gently.
Now that she had spoken, Ouyang Tang naturally had a way out. He nodded almost immediately, then turned and left.
Shen Wangshu smiled as she watched Ouyang Tang walk quickly away from her. She smiled again and then turned her gaze to Ouyang Huan in the distance. She saw that Ouyang Huan's gaze was indeed fixed on Xue Xuan, and her expression darkened.
She actually hated that someone liked Xue Xuan, but she didn't know how to express it.
Should she act coy and jealous like other women?
She didn't know what to do, because her lover had always made her feel incredibly safe, and no woman had ever dared to approach her.
Whether it was Ji Xuan or Regent A Xuan, they had already excluded those women from her life before they rushed up to her and told her they coveted her husband. She lived peacefully in the world they had built with power, without the slightest ripple. This was the first time she had encountered such blatant coveting of her A Xuan so openly exposed.
She moved the corners of her mouth slightly, her gaze falling blankly on the bright chandelier.
She was unhappy, but if she said that, wouldn't it make her look bad?
Xue Xuan's heart is with her; he doesn't like those other women. Isn't that enough?
But why am I still so dissatisfied?
She quietly held Xue Xuan's hand and fell into deep thought. He seemed to sense the strange emotions churning in her heart, and simply stayed quietly by her side. However, a hint of murderous intent was faintly revealed in his dark eyes.
He looked up at Ouyang Tang's sister and saw her give him a bright smile, almost with delight. A feeling of disgust and hatred welled up within him. This negative, dark emotion made him want to tear the woman who had caused Shen Wangshu so much pain to shreds; it was almost unbearable.
"Shushu." He didn't bother to deal with the woman, but anxiously held Shen Wangshu's hand.
What he cared more about was Shen Wangshu's feelings.
“I…” Shen Wangshu moved the corners of her mouth, looked up and quietly stared at Xue Xuan.
By this time, Mr. Shen, beaming with pride, had walked to the very center of the crowd. People parted to make room for him to speak. The tall chandelier above his head illuminated him brightly. He laughed loudly, his voice strong and clear, his face radiating an undeniable glow and pride.
He spoke of the success of Shen's Jewelry, his daughter's achievements, and her unparalleled talent and excellence. After saying much, he finally smiled at everyone and said, "In the future, I hope you will all take care of my daughter, Shushu!"
"Shushu, come here." Standing before everyone's eyes, he said with a satisfied air, as if he had won the whole world, "My most outstanding daughter!"
People made way for Shen Wangshu so that he could reach the brightest and most dazzling place.
The smiles of Shen's parents, and the people in the wealthy family, were all watching her every move.
Shen Wangshu's heart suddenly began to pound.
She involuntarily took a few steps forward, looked at the center of the light, then slowly turned around and gave her lover a beautiful smile.
She reached out her hand to him and asked, "Would you like to walk with me?"
She wanted to hold his hand, forever, so that everyone would know he was her lover.
No one can take him away from her, no one can covet him, not even any woman!
Her smile blossomed under the dazzling lights, and her eyes, which had been filled with confusion and sadness, became firm and full of love for him.
At this moment, Xue Xuan's eyes stung, and he was speechless.
Happiness was so close to him.
