Seeing that Yu Rou's attitude was not enthusiastic, Li Ren frowned.
But he soon thought of the rumors in the circle about Yu Rou and Shen Jue.
The reason why Yu Rou thinks so highly of herself and acts like a big shot is probably because she really has some relationship with Shen Jue.
Thinking of this, Li Ren looked at Yu Rou with much gentler eyes and talked to her more.
When Yu Rou was drinking red wine, she accidentally discovered that Shen Jue looked at her strangely. His eyes were deep, like a spark in the dark and cold night. The restrained possessiveness and deep hatred in his eyes made Yu Rou feel a little uneasy.
In the original owner's memory, Shen Jue had always been a man who valued words and spoke coldly. Even when he fell in love with the original owner later, he was always calm and self-controlled, and even his attitude towards their son was indifferent.
In the eyes of the original owner, Shen Jue was a straight man who completely didn't understand women. He wasn't gentle, considerate, or romantic. However, from Yu Rou's perspective, Shen Jue had many advantages. Not only was he rich enough to last him eight lifetimes, but his looks and figure were also top-notch. Compared to the other men present, Shen Jue was incredibly handsome, though his personality was a bit cold. However, the original owner was attracted to him for his money and influence, and then she looked down on him. It really didn't make sense.
When Yu Rou thought of this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Yu Rou said to Li Ren beside her, then stood up to go out. Chen Jue was sitting on her left and didn't react. When Yu Rou walked past him from behind, her arm brushed against his shoulder. Shen Jue slowly raised his hand that was on the table, put it under the table, clenched it into a fist, and the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged out.
Yu Rou didn't go into the bathroom, but put on makeup in front of the mirror at the sink outside.
The bathroom in this hotel is also very stylishly decorated. Not only is the entire wall above the sink covered in mirrors, but there are also two floor-to-ceiling mirrors next to it.
Yu Rou was wearing light makeup to begin with, so she simply touched up her lipstick and prepared to go back.
She had only taken a few steps when she saw Shen Jue coming towards her.
Yu Rou nodded slightly, her expression unchanged, but Shen Jue looked at her with an unreadable gaze.
Yu Rou asked, "It's been a while. How are you doing recently? How's Xiao Yu?"
Shen Jue stared into her eyes without saying a word. The silence in his eyes was a little frightening.
Yu Rou: "Mr. Shen, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Jue sneered, "Mr. Shen?"
Yu Rou: “?”
Did she call him that wrong? The original owner seemed to have always called him that in public.
Or was it that Shen Jue's dislike for her had reached the point where he couldn't stand hearing her calling him?
Yu Rou's original intention of coming to the dinner today was just to see Shen Jue, and she had no intention of getting involved with him. After all, she didn't know who her target was yet. If she took a wrong step, it might bring unnecessary trouble. So she thought about waiting and watching for a while to see if the system would appear.
She thought Shen Jue didn't want to talk to her, so Yu Rou lowered her eyes and prepared to go back to the box.
Unexpectedly, when Yu Rou was about to pass by him, Shen Jue suddenly grabbed her wrist.
He was so strong that Yu Rou's hand was pinched by him, and she frowned and asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you mean by this? What if someone sees us?"
Shen Jue bent down and raised her hand to her shoulder. She felt pain, but she didn't know what was going on. She didn't want to shout loudly for fear of attracting others.
"Are you afraid of being seen?"
Shen Jue's voice sounded sexy for some reason. It was obviously very cold, but it was low and pleasant.
Yu Rou didn’t understand what he meant. Wasn’t he afraid of being seen?
Shen Jue didn't wait for her to answer, he suddenly put his other hand to her lips and wiped her lips hard with his index finger.
Shen Jue looked down and saw that his fingers were stained with a deep red. The bright and beautiful color made his expression even more solemn.
He seemed to be confused as to why the color on her lips was fading, and for a moment he was unsure what to do with the color on his fingers.
His fingers were still on her lips, her soft and moist lips felt wonderful. His eyes became blurred and deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Yu Rou pushed him away in surprise, "Mr. Shen, what are you doing?"
She scolded in a low voice, her tone cold.
After all, the lipstick she had just applied was smudged by him and even got on the corners of her mouth, which definitely didn't look good.
"Let me go." Yu Rou glared at him.
Shen Jue's gaze was locked on her face, with a struggle flashing in his eyes, an emotion that Yu Rou could not understand. She always felt that the Shen Jue in front of her was not the man in the original owner's memory. Could it be that Shen Jue had a twin brother that the original owner didn't know about?
Yu Rou was thinking randomly, but Shen Jue had already let go of her hand.
Yu Rou took a deep breath, took out a tissue and a mirror from her bag, carefully wiped off the lipstick smears on the corners of her mouth, added a little more, and then left.
After she left, Shen Jue looked at the color on his fingers, slowly raised his fingers, hesitated for a moment, then placed his fingers on his lips, his sinister eyes tinged with a hint of tenderness.
