Lin Shen nodded honestly. If they weren't outside, Lin Shen would have gone straight up and hugged Xia Wenxi.
“You look beautiful today.” After saying that, she added, “You’ve always been beautiful, but in a different way.”
Although the compliments were all just the word "beautiful," which wasn't very original, Lin Shen's gaze pleased Xia Wenxi very well.
"I understand, let's go in."
Lin Shen seemed a little stunned, and it was only when Xia Wenxi pulled him that he realized he should move forward.
So Xia Wenxi took his arm and said seriously, "Lin Shen, you're not the kind of man who wouldn't let his girlfriend see anyone just because she's so beautiful, are you?"
Lin Shen pulled his hand away and changed Xia Wenxi's position from holding his arm to interlocking their fingers.
"No, on the contrary, I feel very proud, but to be honest, right now I wish we were at home so I could kiss you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wenxi first glanced around and, seeing no one else, quickly tiptoed and kissed Lin Shen on the cheek.
Lin Shen had finally calmed down a little, but this made him feel his blood boiling in his veins again.
"Let's leave it at that for now, and we can kiss properly when we get home." Xia Wenxi said seriously, as if she really thought it was a good idea.
But she didn't realize that this kiss was like drinking poison to quench her thirst, or like a spark that could start a wildfire, for Lin Shen.
Xia Wenxi, oblivious to everything, playfully shook their clasped hands and whispered, "I just told my mom I don't have to go home tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a tightness in her palm.
"Wenxi".
"Um?"
"Why don't we go home now?"
Xia Wenxi was so startled that she immediately let go, but then grabbed her again, saying, "No, you're the president, how can you leave the annual meeting early!"
She now felt like she was the wicked concubine who brought ruin to the country, and Lin Shen was the debauched monarch who neglected court affairs.
Xia Wenxi could almost see Liang Yi kneeling before her, pleading with him to the death.
The title of "femme fatale who brought ruin to the country" was really unpleasant, so Xia Wenxi quickly pulled the person forward.
"Don't go home! Go inside now."
It just goes to show that human potential is limitless. When Xia Wenxi first put on high heels today, she couldn't even walk steadily, but now she can hold Lin Shenkuku, who is a head taller than her, and walk forward together.
Once inside the banquet hall, Xia Wenxi didn't let go of Lin Shen's hand. As soon as she entered, she attracted everyone's attention.
Various curious and scrutinizing eyes were cast upon the two of them, but Lin Shen remained calm and changed their hand-holding posture to interlocking their fingers.
Liang Yi was the first to come forward and greet Xia Wenxi with a bright smile, revealing a set of pearly white teeth that looked just like those in a dental brochure.
She thought to herself, if their CEO had just left, she wondered if Liang Yi would still be able to smile.
The Lin family's annual meeting looked slightly different from Hengyuan's. Unlike Hengyuan's, which had separate tables for dining, the Lin family's annual meeting was more like a buffet. Everyone gathered in twos and threes, either talking with wine glasses in hand or finding a place to sit and eat and chat, which looked more "free".
During this time, many people came to greet Lin Shen. No matter who it was, Lin Shen did not let go of Xia Wenxi's hand, as if he was afraid that she would run away if he let go.
"Xiao Shen".
Xia Wenxi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man who looked somewhat familiar.
