Chapter 43
The event wasn't over yet, and Shen Jingshao was practically a public figure here. Now that Wen Yixing was sober, she didn't want to go out with Shen Jingshao.
Shen Jingshao understood her concerns and said, "Then I'll have my assistant take you out."
Wen Yixing agreed: "Okay."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Jingshao turned around, took a clean hat and mask from the table, and put them on her.
His movements were gentle, and Wen Yixing didn't move, letting him put the mask on for her.
“There are a lot of people outside, and I know you don’t want people to know about our relationship,” Shen Jingshao said.
Seeing that Wen Yixing kept looking at him, Shen Jingshao asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Wen Yixing said. "It's just that you seem a little different from what I remembered."
Shen Jingshao: "So what was your impression of me before?"
Wen Yixing recalled earnestly: "She had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with."
Shen Jingshao looked down at him, a hint of a smile in his eyes, before he finally reached out and touched her soft fingertips, unwilling to give up.
Seeing that she didn't resist, he took her hand again and said, "I'll take you home tonight."
Wen Yixing did not agree, but simply said, "There are people at home."
Shen Jingshao changed his mind: "I'll take you downstairs."

Fortunately, the entire event venue was relatively dark, and no one noticed anything amiss with Wen Yixing after she returned home.
Seeing her return, Su Nian happily took her arm and shared gossip with Wen Yixing with a smile: "Sister Yixing, let me tell you, I heard that President Shen was not feeling well today and did not come out at all during the second half of the event. Lin Ting wanted to go to President Shen's rest room to offer her some comfort, but she was kicked out by President Shen's bodyguards before she could even get in the door. It's hilarious."
Wen Yixing was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are there bodyguards at the door?"
"There should be some," Su Nian thought for a moment. "I don't know exactly where, but someone of President Shen's status would definitely need bodyguards."
Just as Wen Yixing was about to speak, Su Nian looked up and said, "Oh, President Chen is out."
Shen Jingshao entered through the entrance. He had changed into a new white shirt, which was neatly buttoned up.
However, you could still vaguely see a slight scar on his neck.
Shen Jingshao has a great physique; even though he's wearing a suit and tie, you can still feel his strength at a glance.
His looks are no less than those of the celebrities here; the moment he appeared, he instantly attracted the attention of many people.
Shen Jingshao's expression remained unchanged as he sat down at his seat, led by his assistant.
Wen Yixing sat with Su Nian in the back, and from her position, she could see Shen Jingshao sitting in the front.
He had a fierce demeanor and almost never smiled in public.
If she hadn't known perfectly well that everything that had just happened was real, she would never have associated such a calm and collected person with the word "gentle."
There was one last part to the event. By the time the event ended, it was already 1 a.m. Su Nian ate something in the RV first, while Wen Yixing and her colleagues went backstage to pack up.
My colleagues were all unusually excited today, showing no signs of fatigue.
Wen Yixing, who seemed rather listless, was completely out of place among them.
"Sister Yixing, are you tired? Do you want to walk with me? I'll take you home." As they came out of the exit, her colleague saw that Wen Yixing was tired and offered her a suggestion.
Before Wen Yixing could speak, she heard a car beeping in the distance. Wen Yixing looked up and saw a black Maybach with its lights on. The lights turned off when it saw her looking over.
Wen Yixing could see clearly that it was Shen Jingshao's car.
As if worried that she might stand him up, Shen Jingshao had sent her his license plate number more than ten minutes earlier.
Wen Yixing said to her colleagues, "Someone is coming to pick me up. You guys go ahead."
The colleague on the right opened her mouth, looking at Wen Yixing with a somewhat shocked expression, but said nothing.
The round-faced colleague on the left didn't notice anything amiss at all, and was just curiously gossiping: "Sister Yixing, did your husband come to pick you up?"
Wen Yixing: "No, we're friends."
The round-faced colleague was a little skeptical, but seeing that Wen Yixing didn't want to talk about it, she politely didn't ask any further, and just smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
After watching Wen Yixing walk to the car, the colleague on the right nudged the round-faced colleague and whispered, "I feel like Sister Yixing's husband is definitely not an ordinary person. That spot isn't one that just anyone can park."
The round-faced colleague completely missed the point: "Oh, didn't Sister Yixing say that wasn't her husband?"
"Are you stupid? What kind of friend would come here to pick her up so late? If you ask me, Sister Xing just doesn't want to reveal that her family is rich!"
"Oh, you're right." The round-faced colleague gave a thumbs up.

Wen Yixing walked to the car door, and the driver got out and respectfully opened the door for her.
As the car door opened, Wen Yixing saw Shen Jingshao sitting inside. His facial features were smooth, yet also somewhat sharp.
But the moment he looked at her, his eyes, which had been so intimidating, softened a little.
Wen Yixing didn't say anything, she just sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he leaned closer without making a sound and reached out to hold her soft hand.
The driver was still there, which wasn't quite right. Wen Yixing pulled her hand away and said softly, "The driver is still here."
As soon as these words were spoken, the dashboard in front of the car gradually rose, blocking the driver's view.
Wen Yixing: "..."
Shen Jingshao reassured him, "It's alright, he can't hear."
His expression remained serious; anyone who didn't know better would think he was discussing something very serious with her.
