She even carefully selected a dazzling diamond accessory for me and put it in my hair. The brilliant light complemented my curly hair, making me exude a noble and elegant temperament.
Then, he took out a beautiful ruby necklace from the jewelry box and gently placed it around my neck.
Those round, full, and brightly colored rubies, like ripe cherries, shimmered with an alluring luster under the light.
When I'm ready,
He gazed at me quietly, a fleeting look of surprise in his eyes.
The woman before me had bright eyebrows and large eyes, a charming smile, and a graceful, slender figure.
Her vibrant red dress was as beautiful and captivating as a blooming rose; her long, glossy black hair cascaded naturally over her shoulders, swaying gently in the wind, making her appear like a fairy descended from heaven, her beauty otherworldly.
He felt as if he were seeing the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Sui Sui! You're so beautiful!" He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke my hair, his voice filled with deep love and praise.
Hearing his praise, a sweet warmth welled up inside me, so I smiled and put my arm around his waist. "No! You're pretty good too!"
And so, we walked together into that incredibly luxurious venue, side by side.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, my eyes were drawn to the two people sitting in the main seats.
One of them was mature and composed, with an imposing presence; that was Qin Shisheng. The other was tall, roguish, and charming; that was Wang Yijin.
At that moment, they were chatting enthusiastically, looking very close, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.
Lin Zhibai stood behind Qin Shisheng, while Qin Shan was having a lively conversation with Hu Sen.
However, when Qin Shisheng inadvertently turned his gaze to me and noticed that I was holding Jin Buwei's hand, his originally relaxed and cheerful expression changed slightly.
His eyes revealed deep affection and longing for someone he hadn't seen for a long time, but at the same time, deep within those eyes, there seemed to be a hint of barely perceptible resentment.
With a warm smile on his face, Jin Buwei strode over, smiling and greeting everyone present, and extending his hand to shake hands with each of them.
When it was Qin Shisheng's turn to shake hands, a crisp sound was heard, clearly the sound of bones breaking.
Surprisingly, however, the two still had bright smiles on their faces, as if nothing had just happened.
Qin Shisheng's gaze remained fixed on me the entire time, his eyes burning with aggression.
Faced with such a gaze, I chose to ignore it, deliberately raising my eyes and turning my gaze to Lin Zhibai standing behind him.
Lin Zhibai stared at me expressionlessly, his demeanor cold.
After greeting everyone, Jin Buwei turned to me with concern in his eyes: "Does his presence make you feel uncomfortable? If so, I'll have my assistant take you to your hotel to rest later."
I smiled slightly, shook my head gently, and said, "No need, it's really nothing!"
Actually, I had already guessed that he would be here today.
To be honest, the person I most wanted to see during this trip was Lin Zhibai.
To save my brother from his predicament, I must put in more effort, and Lin Zhibai will undoubtedly become my right-hand man.
Undeniably, I do love Jin Buwei deep down.
I love him, simply because he loves me just as deeply.
But how long can love last?
Just as my father once loved my mother deeply, yet even so, more than thirty years later he still betrayed that relationship and had an affair.
I loved him just as deeply as he loved me.
But when love is gone, I won't cling on—better to have nothing than something bad.
Currently, what I long for is to live a happy and fulfilling life with my brother.
This happiness can be given by a man, or it can be earned through one's own persistent efforts.
Jin Buwei gently reminded me, "Then you'd better stay obediently by my side!"
"Okay!" I smiled sweetly at him.
However, when I turned my head unintentionally, I saw that Hu Xuelian was chatting happily with Wu Xin, whom I had met in a foreign country that day, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
They both looked at me at the same time.
I could clearly see that Wu Xin's eyes were filled with jealousy and disgust, while Hu Xuelian's eyes also held a hint of dissatisfaction.
This scene made me sigh: what a small world!
I didn't pay much attention to them because I was thinking about how to find the right opportunity to approach Lin Zhibai.
Just then, I saw Qin Shisheng walking towards me.
In an instant, my heart tightened, and without thinking, I quickly turned around and nimbly hid behind Jin Buwei's broad and solid back.
"President Qin, what brings you here to see me?" Jin Buwei asked with a polite smile, his expression unchanged.
"I want to say a few words to her," Qin Shisheng said in a calm and deep voice.
"Mr. Qin, I'm so sorry, my wife is timid by nature and afraid of interacting with strangers."
As Jin Buwei explained, he naturally reached out his right hand and gently put it around my slender waist.
The instant he made that intimate gesture, I clearly caught a fleeting glimpse of intense killing intent in Qin Shisheng's deep, pool-like eyes.
"Oh? Stranger?" Qin Shisheng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring sharply at where I was hiding, a meaningful sneer appearing on his lips.
