The shop assistant just happened to come over with a few cheongsams for her to choose from, so she heard what Gao Yue said. They pursed their lips and smiled secretly. Gao Yue usually looked serious, but it turned out that he could be nervous and timid sometimes?
Shi Wenwen: "..."
She pretended to be blind and deaf, not seeing the smiles in everyone's eyes, nor hearing Gao Yue's words.
"Which one do you like, Miss Shi? If you don't like any of them, I'll get you a new cheongsam." The clerk greeted her warmly with a smile.
Shi Wenwen glanced at the cheongsams and pointed to one with a red background, dark green branches and a deeper layer of red plum blossoms. She said, "No need, let's take this one."
Shi Wenwen went to change it out.
Although he had predicted that she would look great in it, he was still stunned by her at first sight. A gleam of light flashed across Gao Yue's deep eyes. Not wanting others to see his little thoughts, he deliberately kept a straight face.
Her slender neck seemed to be exposed in the high collar, her waist was slender and could be held in one hand, and her skirt was slit to reveal her fair legs. Her long legs were graceful and elegant. She walked slowly, with a gorgeous look hidden in her tranquility, simple, quiet and beautiful, and had a captivating charm of her own.
Everyone was stunned.
Looking at their expressions, Shi Wenwen knew that she had chosen the right cheongsam.
"This is it," she said affirmatively.
Although the weather was not cold yet, the temperature difference between morning and evening was large. Gao Yue asked the clerk to get her a shawl. Seeing that the shawl covered her beauty, she paid with satisfaction.
When they arrived at their destination, many people had already arrived, but the banquet had not yet begun. The host was entertaining the guests and was quite familiar with Gao Yue. They were surprised to see him coming with a female companion tonight.
The female companion is dignified and noble, and her light smile makes people feel stunning.
As soon as he entered the venue, he attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey kid, I thought you wouldn't come tonight. Turns out you have a beautiful lady with you, that's why you're so reluctant to show up." The speaker was the host of tonight's banquet, Ke Qingyu.
The lady next to him is his wife, Yi Lansi.
She is the protagonist of this banquet tonight. She is Ke Qingyu's wife, whom he has known and been with for decades. They have been in love until now. He specially organized a birthday party for her.
"Uncle Ke is making fun of me again." Gao Yue was in a good mood, with a warm smile on his face.
This was the first time that Ke Qingyu saw Gao Yue with this expression, but it wasn't the first time either. He had seen it once in a nightclub a few years ago when Gao Yue was protecting a little girl. He still remembered it vividly.
"Why don't you introduce the person next to you?" Ke Qingyu said, and his eyes naturally fell on Shi Wenwen. It didn't matter if he looked at her, a familiar feeling came over him.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Little girl, have we met somewhere before? You look so familiar."
Shi Wenwen also glanced at him, feeling very unfamiliar, so she shook her head, "Maybe Mr. Ke happened to have met someone who looked similar to me before?"
Gao Yue said: "Uncle Ke, this is Shi Wenwen."
"It's you!" Ke Qingyu said in surprise: "No wonder you look familiar. It seems you don't remember me either. Little girl, we have met before. Have you forgotten?"
Ke Qingyu's wife was beside him, so he didn't want to mention the nightclub. He only talked about Shi Wenwen's heroic deeds of bravely breaking into the room.
Memories instantly flooded into Shi Wenwen's mind. That year, Gao Yue had a gastritis attack, and she broke into a nightclub and met Wang Huiyan, which caused such an incident.
But at that time, everyone's attention was on Gao Yue, and the people around him didn't even look closely.
Later, Gao Yue said that the reason he protected her was because there was a partner present who loved his wife very much, and he did this just to please the situation.
Since Ke Qingyu was also present and he was so good to his wife, he must be the partner that Gao Yue mentioned back then.
You brought her here tonight to continue acting, right?
Shi Wenwen's face turned pale instantly. Fortunately, she had put on light makeup when she came, so people couldn't easily see her emotions.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ke." Shi Wenwen responded to everything around him with a smile.
"That's right. After so many twists and turns, you finally meet again. That's great!" Ke Qingyu sighed several times and introduced his beloved wife to Shi Wenwen.
Shi Wenwen shook hands with her and politely called out, "Mrs. Ke."
Yi Lansi was kind and considerate. She was startled when she touched Shi Wenwen's cold hand. "Oh, are you cold? Your hands look so cold. Come on, let me get you a cup of hot tea. Let's chat with other women instead of these boring old men."
Gao Yue immediately held Shi Wenwen's hand and asked anxiously, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"...Maybe I caught a cold last night." Shi Wenwen casually made up an excuse, resisting Gao Yue's contact from the inside out. She subconsciously withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "You chat with Mr. Ke, I'll go sit over there."
She dodged very carefully, but Gao Yue was still sensitive to her abnormality. In a moment of distraction, he made her break free, and when he responded, she had already gone far away.
Yi Lansi poured her a cup of hot water.
Shi Wenwen drank it slowly in a daze, and only then did she feel her body reviving and coming back to life.
She looked at Yi Lansi gratefully and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Yi Lansi smiled warmly and said, "I've known Xiao Yue for a few years and know him pretty well. He's a good man. From what Lao Ke said just now, you two have been together for many years?"
As for women, all they do when they get together is chat about gossip.
Shi Wenwen looked so embarrassed that she didn't know how to reply. "Actually, no, he and I are not what you think. We did get along for a while before, but then..."
She shrugged, and seeing that Yi Lan Si wasn't the type of woman who wouldn't talk about her past, she simply said, "We're just purely partners now. This is a long story. Back when we were still together, we did business together, and no one could have imagined it would turn out like this. But don't worry, our relationship won't affect our business cooperation!"
"Of course I'm not worried about these. We have all clearly seen Xiao Yue's character over the years." Yi Lansi thought of Shi Wenwen's dodging of Gao Yue just now.
Before she said this, she just thought she was shy. Now that she thinks about it, she was resisting Gao Yue's approach to her.
If Gao Yue had no interest in her, he would never have brought her here.
Although this is a birthday party, the guests are all familiar friends and relatives, so it is quite casual and relaxed, and can be considered a semi-family party.
There is no specific requirement for a female companion.
Gao Yue is just looking for an opportunity to get along with her, right?
Shi Wenwen knew that her judgment was correct and was secretly relieved when she suddenly heard Yi Lansi say something wrong again.
