The next morning, sunlight streamed in.
Ni Sitian slowly woke up, yawned, and stretched out her arms.
Suddenly feeling something was missing, she opened her eyes and saw that Xu Tingchuan was not beside her.
She sat up, stretched again, and called out, "Tingchuan, Tingchuan."
She called out twice, but no one responded, so she simply threw off the covers and got out of bed.
When she got into the living room, she saw him on the balcony making a phone call. She remained silent and quietly walked behind him, intending to scare him.
Before she could scare him, he almost scared her.
His voice suddenly rose as he spoke on the phone, his tone sharp: "Is there any point in you continuing like this?!"
Ni Sitian shuddered. She had never heard Xu Tingchuan so fierce before. He had always been reserved and somewhat aloof, and even when he was angry, he remained calm and composed.
Xu Tingchuan was about to continue speaking when he saw Ni Sitian's reflection on the balcony, so he held back and said only, "Take care of yourself."
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking, turned around and looked at Ni Sitian, "You're up. Did you sleep well?"
"Hmm." Ni Sitian nodded, then asked curiously, "Who were you talking to on the phone so early in the morning that you were so angry?"
"It's nothing. Come on, let's have breakfast," Xu Tingchuan said as he walked out onto the balcony, went to the kitchen, and brought out the breakfast he had prepared.
Although Ni Sitian was puzzled, she did not ask any further questions.
After having breakfast together, Xu Tingchuan went to work first.
In the afternoon, Ni Sitian got her hair done, changed into her dress, and had her makeup done.
Xu Tingchuan then returned and picked her up to go to Qin Mubei's engagement party.
Qin Mubei's engagement banquet was not held in a hotel, but in a well-known high-end club.
Xu Tingchuan led Ni Sitian inside, and the waiter politely and courteously came forward to serve them. After the two took off their coats, they headed for the elevator.
The people attending this engagement party tonight are all high-ranking officials, elites, celebrities, and big names.
Stepping into the banquet hall, one is greeted by a dazzling array of stars.
Xu Tingchuan placed Ni Sitian's hand on his bent arm and led her step by step inside.
Those who had already started chatting in the room couldn't help but look at the two people who had just entered. For a few seconds, the room was silent as everyone stared at them.
After they came to their senses, countless people murmured in amazement, their eyes lingering on them.
Ni Sitian was initially a little timid and shy, but Xu Tingchuan was beside her. He was tall and imposing in a silver-gray suit, exuding composure and nobility. His powerful aura seemed to suppress the noise in the venue.
She felt safe and secure by his side, which made her unafraid of the stares of so many people and allowed her to follow in his footsteps and blend into the crowd.
Many people's eyes followed them, because they simply couldn't help themselves.
These two seemed to be born to be the center of attention. Although the girl looked young and a bit naive, the two were surprisingly well-matched.
Many socialites and wealthy women whispered their envy of Ni Sitian's dress, while those who had seen Ni Sitian at the charity gala before, knowing that she was Xu Tingchuan's wife, looked at her with even more envy.
Xu Tingchuan lowered his head and asked Ni Sitian softly, "Would you like a drink?"
Ni Sitian raised her head slightly, smiled faintly, and said, "Orange juice."
Xu Tingchuan smiled, stepped out from behind the long table, and helped Ni Sitian get her a drink.
This gentle and considerate gesture aroused the envy of a group of women.
Ni Sitian stood there, waiting for Xu Tingchuan to return, but her eyes inadvertently caught sight of a woman.
She was slightly startled, and when she turned her head to look again, the woman had already disappeared!
