The originally slightly long black hair was trimmed into a neat shape, revealing a full forehead. The pair of obsidian black eyes were fully exposed, brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Her eyebrows and eyes are cold, her skin is white, and her face is elegant. She is as delicate and beautiful as the bright cold moon in the night sky. The naturally pursed curve of her thin lips carries a cold and sexy meaning.

He has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a thin back but does not look weak, and he exudes a sense of restrained oppression.

It's like the outer shell of youthful restraint and immaturity falls off, gradually revealing the cold edge of a young man.

The girl in front of him stared at him intently, her misty almond-shaped eyes hardly blinking.

"Is it... strange?"

Is it strange that he is like this?

Shi Yan frowned unnaturally, and the fingers hanging at his side curled up, as if he was... nervous, or... embarrassed? Before she could answer, he suddenly regretted agreeing to this.

The girl smiled with curved eyebrows and shook her head, her eyes sparkling: "No, it's beautiful."

She repeated firmly: "It looks good."

In fact, Sheng Yuan was already screaming wildly in her heart.

Oh my god!!!

The cub is so handsome!!! Help!!!

She is going to faint!!!

Shi Yan turned his head slightly, no longer looking into her eyes, and uttered "oh" calmly, but the corners of his thin lips curled up in a very slight arc.

The next second, he felt a soft little hand reaching into his palm and holding it, and in the softness he touched a cold, hard object.

Shi Yan realized something and almost trembled all over, and suddenly lowered his head.

Seeing a diamond ring on the girl's finger——

It was the ring they exchanged when they got engaged.

Thinking back to that ridiculous engagement ceremony, it was so hasty and casual that even the diamond ring was just bought at a jewelry store on the spur of the moment.

After the engagement day, Shi Yan never saw her wearing it again.

Later, on the following day, when Sheng Yuan was chatting with Shi Xuan and some of his friends, someone teased her and asked her why she didn't wear a ring.

How did Sheng Yuan answer?

The proud and noble princess casually glanced at her new manicure and said nonchalantly.

"I put it somewhere randomly when I was washing up. I don't remember. I guess I lost it."

His completely nonchalant attitude made Shi Xuan's friends laugh.

At that time, Shi Yan was in the corridor separated by a wall, his thin figure standing in the darkness, and every word of those words clearly penetrated into his ears.

But now, the ring appeared on her finger again.

"Okay, we should go in."

Sheng Yuan pulled Shi Yan's hand and walked forward, but she couldn't move him. The boy still stood there. She turned her head away in confusion.

Shi Yan's eyes were very dark and heavy, and the look he gave her was like thick ink.

Sheng Yuan asked quietly: "What's wrong?"

Shi Yan didn't say anything, but just raised their holding hands and looked carefully. The long eyelashes cast a beautiful shadow on the cold white bags under the eyes, as if to verify something.

But, at just one glance, he was sure that this was the engagement ring.

Not re-purchased.

"Nothing." Shi Yan's face was cold and his voice was low and magnetic. He put his hand down again and then clenched it lightly: "Let's go."

* After Shi Xuan congratulated the mayor on his birthday, he walked to the bar where his friends were.

Shi Xuan listened silently the whole time, without saying a word from beginning to end, but he drank a lot of wine.

In short, all the friends were so shocked by Sheng Yuan's behavior just now that their jaws dropped. Only Xia Xicheng was the calmest, as calm as an old ox.

But there was something even more jaw-dropping.

As the few people were chatting, there was a small commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall, and everyone looked up in the direction of the sound.

The half door with intricate patterns was opened by the waiter.

Sheng Yuan walked in holding up her skirt with one hand and holding Shi Yan's hand with the other.

The girl in the champagne-colored dress has a slim and proud figure, as lively and bright as a rose with dewdrops on the branch. The young man in a suit next to her has a superior appearance and a cold temperament, and is equally stunning.

The boy was nearly 1.87 meters tall, and the girl's slender body stood beside him. He was obediently held behind her, his sexy thin lips pursed.

The two of them just appeared there, as beautiful as a mural, pleasing to the eyes and eye-catching.

Shi Xuan's friend burst out with a loud "WTF?" "Am I blind?"

"Brother Xuan, isn't this your illegitimate child? Why is he here? "

"And... and Sheng Yuan was holding his hand? This is too magical!"

"Did I travel through time? It's been such a long time since we last met, what happened to them? How did they suddenly become like this!?"

“…”

Shi Xuan took a sip of wine and ignored his friend's subsequent questions irritably: "He was invited. My grandfather nodded."

Gu Yun bit her lip and looked at the two people in the middle of the banquet hall thoughtfully. She said hesitantly, "He can come here probably because of Miss Sheng Yuan."

"Because of Sheng Yuan?"

Gu Yun nodded: "Grandpa Shi thinks highly of the Sheng family, and you all know that Miss Sheng Yuan has always been very nice to Xuan..."

She didn't finish her words, but just gave Shi Xuan a meaningful look, so everyone immediately understood what she meant.

"It may be because Xuan has been rejecting Miss Sheng's pursuit, which made her unhappy, and then Miss Sheng Yuan should have changed her approach and turned to be nice to Shi Yan. Since she is nice to him, Grandpa Shi will naturally pay attention to Shi Yan and let him attend the banquet as a matter of course."

Someone slapped his thigh, indicating that he understood: "Sister-in-law, I understand! Sheng Yuan did this on purpose!"

"She did it on purpose to attract Brother Shi Xuan's attention. She knew that Aunt Shi and Brother Shi Xuan didn't like Shi Yan, but she did the opposite and played hard to get! She wanted to stimulate Brother Shi Xuan!"

"Fuck, this woman is quite scheming!"

Several people expressed their agreement.

Yes.

If this is the case, then all of Sheng Yuan's abnormal behavior just now is explained! "That illegitimate child would never have thought that Sheng Yuan's kindness to him was fake, and it was all to attract Brother Shi Xuan."

"It's so funny. He has once again become cannon fodder."

"……Hahaha"

Just as several people were laughing so hard that they fell over, Xia Xicheng laughed coldly beside them.

"A bunch of idiots."

"F*ck Xicheng, you're scolding me?!"

Xia Xicheng rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Sheng Yuan's kindness to Shi Yan is not fake."
