After the banquet began, when Qin Wan and Sheng Si returned to the banquet hall, they immediately saw Sheng Yue and Jiang Haochen walking together, as well as Chu Yan and Yan Mu.
Seeing this, Qin Wan smiled and looked at Sheng Si beside her, "Your stimulation has taken effect."
Sheng Si considerately tidied her long hair that was draped over her shoulders, revealing a faint blush that Qin Wan had deliberately concealed.
"Weren't you hungry?" Sheng Si raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
Qin Wan: "..." If she doesn't say she's hungry, will he let her go?
"I want to sit with Sheng Yue," Qin Wan said, pointing to the very center of the battle.
Sheng Si gave her a deep look, but did not expose her intentions. Instead, he accompanied her to sit down next to Sheng Yue.
"Your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs." After sitting down, Sheng Si immediately served Qin Wan food, taking meticulous care of her during the meal.
Seeing this, Chu Yan's already unpleasant expression turned even darker.
"I also want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, can you get me a piece, brother?"
Long-standing habits caused Chu Yan to lose control of her emotions for a moment. She forgot that Yan Mu was still sitting next to her and subconsciously looked at Sheng Si with pleading and expectation in her eyes.
As soon as she spoke, the guests at the table looked at each other, and finally their eyes all fell on Yan Mu.
"Yan Yan, just tell me what you want to eat." Even though he felt uncomfortable, Yan Mu did not show any displeasure or dissatisfaction due to the occasion.
Chu Yan finally came to her senses and looked at Yan Mu in a coquettish manner.
"Brother Yanmu, I was just joking with my brother and sister-in-law."
"After all, my brother and I grew up together. Even my own sister, Sheng Yue, has never received such favoritism from my brother..."
At this point, Chu Yan looked meaningfully at Sheng Yue.
Given Sheng Yue's previous personality, she might have genuinely been unhappy about it, even feeling that Qin Wan had stolen her only brother.
Unfortunately, things are different now. She is no longer the Sheng Yue of the past; she is now Niohuru Sheng Yue!
In that instant, Sheng Yue's mind inexplicably flashed to the image of the female lead from a recently popular palace drama.
“My sister is naturally no match for my wife.” As she spoke, Sheng Yue glared at Chu Yan, giving her a reproachful look as if to say, “How could you be so insensible?”
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan's face stiffened, and she stared at Sheng Yue suspiciously, as if she didn't understand what was wrong with her.
Back in the Sheng family, whenever she got even a little close to Sheng Si, Sheng Yue would attack her like a cat with its fur standing on end, baring its claws.
Why is it that when it's Qin Wan's turn, Sheng Yue seems like a completely different person...?
Thinking of this, Chu Yan stared at Qin Wan with a grim expression.
What is it about this woman that makes her so attractive?
First came the grand spectacle, and now it's the splendid moon.
Even the notoriously difficult Sheng siblings were surprisingly protective of her...
Qin Wan looked up and met Chu Yan's gaze. Seeing the sudden chill in Chu Yan's eyes, which had been gentle, she instinctively looked away, unable to meet her eyes any longer…
What happened?
Why did she experience such a terrifying feeling of suffocation just now?
Before Chu Yan could figure out what was so strange about Qin Wan, Jiang Haochen, who had already reached a cooperation agreement with Sheng Yue, spoke up.
"Chu Yan, you are now a married woman, so you should be more careful about what you say and do."
“After all, you are not a member of the Sheng family and have no blood relation with Sheng Si and Sheng Yue. Calling Sheng Si ‘brother’ directly is too intimate and oversteps the bounds.”
Just as Chu Yan was about to speak, Jiang Haochen interrupted her again.
"Even if Prime Minister Yan Mu is magnanimous, you should at least think about Sheng Si's situation."
"After all, after today, Sheng Si and Qin Wan will be officially engaged. As an outsider, it's really inconsiderate of Qin Wan's feelings for you to call Sheng Si 'brother' so affectionately."
It has to be said that Jiang Haochen is more adept at dealing with Chu Yan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, looking extremely ugly.
"Haochen, that's not what I meant. Why do you think that way about me?"
Chu Yan's eyes reddened, and she looked at Jiang Haochen with a hurt expression, seemingly not expecting him to be so cold and ruthless towards her...
Is it simply because she chose Yan Mu instead of him?
So Haochen treated her so cruelly because his love turned to hate?
Thinking of this, tears welled up in Chu Yan's eyes, more and more... she looked so pitiful.
Seeing this, Jiang Haochen looked at Chu Yan with disdain, "What kind of look is that? I didn't bully you."
"And don't forget, you're a married woman now. Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for you to call me Haochen or something like that?"
By repeatedly using the word "crossing the line," Jiang Haochen was clearly trying to distance himself from her.
Upon realizing his intentions, Chu Yan's face turned pale instantly, her slender body swayed, and she appeared to be on the verge of collapse.
Yan Mu, who had initially sensed something was amiss, immediately embraced Chu Yan with tenderness upon seeing her reaction, adopting a protective stance.
"Jiang Haochen, don't go too far!"
"Yan Yan is gentle and kind, and she treats you as a friend. How have you treated her?"
Seeing Yan Mu's utterly foolish appearance, Sheng Yue's strange look intensified.
Why did she go so blind in the past?
And Yan Mu...
Does he have some kind of strong bias towards Chu Yan?
Jiang Haochen looked at Yan Mu with a mocking expression, "I have no interest in being friends with a married woman."
"Yan Mu, for the sake of our acquaintance of more than ten years, I'm giving you a piece of advice: you should go see an ophthalmologist when you have time. Your blindness in both eyes and mind is getting worse and worse."
"Of course, if you don't want to go, you can just pretend I didn't say anything."
As he spoke, Jiang Haochen glanced at Chu Yan and Yan Mu with disdain. When he sat down, he thoughtfully placed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, which Chu Yan had been longing for, into Sheng Yue's bowl.
Upon seeing Jiang Haochen's actions, Chu Yan's pupils trembled slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
What happened?
Why is Hao Chen so good to Sheng Yue?
What exactly happened?
Is it because she chose Yan Mu and not him that Hao Chen is going to retaliate against her in this way?
Chu Yan looked at Jiang Haochen with a hurt expression, appearing pitiful and on the verge of tears.
pity……
Her performance was not bad, but unfortunately, apart from Yan Mu, no one at the table cooperated with her, and no one was willing to appreciate her "colorful" and entertaining performance.
Midway through the banquet, while Sheng Yue went to the restroom, Chu Yan quickly got up and followed her...
Upon seeing this, Qin Wan paused in her eating, then slowly put down her chopsticks and took a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth.
Two minutes later...
A considerable commotion was coming from the girls' restroom...
Qin Wan leaned lazily against the doorway, choosing a perfectly vantage point, playing with her phone while greeting Sheng Si, Jiang Haochen, and Yan Mu as they approached...
"What a coincidence."
Sheng Si: "..."
Jiang Haochen: "..." This woman is really terrifying. No wonder she was able to win over Sheng Si, that weirdo.
Yan Mu frowned, staring at Qin Wan with a very unpleasant expression.
"What are you doing here?" Yan Mu asked in a deep voice.
