Mu Chang frowned when he saw the business partner not talking.
He heard people whispering about a woman.
He turned to look at the entrance
The moment he did, he stiffened
Ru Shi was standing there. She looked like a fairy.
Her dress was made of spun silk by the finest of fae tailors and was very modern while at the same time nostalgic, that is to say, it had a tubular bodice, low waist, gathered tulle skirt that fell to the floor, shirt-type sleeves, flared lace oversleeves, low U-shaped neckline, and an exquisite chiffon lace with embroidered edges.
Just as he was about to approach her, he saw a man approaching her with a grin on his face.
Why is it that guy again?.
He frowned as he watched their interactions.
He clenched his jaws when he saw her smile.
He doesn't remember the last time he saw her smile like this.
She looks beautiful.
"Mr Li, do you know that woman? She's really beautiful. I want to introduce my son to her.
Do you know which family she comes from?"
The partner asked as he stared at Ru Shi. He has never seen such a naturally beautiful girl.
Mu Chang's face became gloomy when he heard him.
"She's my girlfriend."
Mu Chang replied coldly as he stared at the man
The man turned when he heard him.
"Girlfriend? Isn't Miss Qin your fiance? When did you get a girlfriend?"
Mu Chang turned to look at Ru Shi standing at the entrance.
"She's mine. I broke up with Qin Jieli. So don't have any ideas about her."
The man chuckled
"Oh who would have thought that you guys will one day break up."
"Well, it seems you have got a lot of competition. Good luck. I'll contact you about the contract"
He said as he patted Mu Chang's shoulder.
"Hmm"
He answered as he turned to look at the entrance.
When he did, he saw Ru Shi holding Zhang Wei's arms.
"Well, even though I don't want to admit it, they look good together."
Liang Shao said as he came to stand beside Mu Chang
He clenched his fist when he heard him.
"It seems you now have a competitor and you're thinking about giving her space."
Mu Chang ignores him as he kept looking at them.
Zhang Wei looked at him and smirked as he took her away from the entrance.
"Have you prepared your speech?"
Mu Chang stared at Ru Shi as he answered
"Well."
*********
Ru Shi frowned as she felt everyone looking at her. She looked down at her dress.
Why is something wrong with her dress or the way she's dressed?
Just as she was contemplating she heard her name
"Ru Shi?"
She looked up and saw Zhang Wei standing Infront of her.
"Fatty Wei, what are you doing here? Aren't you going back?"
Zhang Wei sighed
"I was but I came back. My father wants to open a new company in the country so I came to meet some partners. After all, this is the annual gathering of all the top businessmen in the country and all over the world."
He said.
"Wow, you look beautiful."
Ru Shi blushed as she looked away.
"Let's go. Everyone is looking at us."
Zhang Wei smirked,
"Of course everyone is looking at you. You're the most beautiful woman in this room right now."
Zhang Wei held out his arms to her
"Well, let's go. Your prince charming is here."
Ru Shi giggled as she held his arms as they left the entrance.
"So did you get back with Mr Li?"
Zhang Wei asked her as he looks at her.
Ru Shi smiled sadly
"No,"
Zhang Wei looked at her
"You didn't take my advice? I thought you like him."
"I do but I'm tired of always being the one trying to make this relationship work"
She sighed.
"Well, if it makes you feel better. Loverboy has been watching you since you entered.
I don't think he has been watching anyone since you entered. That shows he loves you right?"
Ru Shi tensed when she heard him?
Mu Chang has been looking at her?
"If you want to see him. He's at your left"
The moment he finished speaking, Ru Shi turned to look at Mu Chang.
Her eyes meet his.
Time seems to stop as they stared at each other.
She felt her heart beating fast. She missed him.
She wanted to run into his arms right now but she knew she couldn't.
"You know looking at him like that will only let him think you've forgiven him. And that won't help you."
Zhang Wei grinned as he turned to look at Mu Chang.
Ru Shi sighed when she heard him.
"I want to go to the bathroom."
"Do you want me to accompany you?"
Ru Shi glared at him
Zhang Wei chuckled
"What? I'll just wait for you outside."
"No, I'll be fine"
After saying that, Ru Shi left him.
****
Qin Jieli looks at Ru Shi being the centre of attention and bites her lips
This damn woman! Why does she always want to take something that's hers away from her?
She's supposed to be center of attraction tonight but the moment Ru Shi came everyone's attention became focused on her.
She turned to look at Mu Chang who has been staring at Ru Shi the moment she entered.
She clenched her fist.
"Xiao Qin, I don't know what you are thinking but looking at the look on your face, I don't trust you."
Wang Lu said as he stared at her
Qin Jieli looked up at Wang Lu
"What cousin? Are you afraid I'll hurt your little friend?"
She smirked as she said
"Well, I'm afraid you'll do something that you'll regret later. I'm just thinking about you."
"Me?"
Qin Jieli chuckled as she asked.
"Hmm, I know how you all want to protect little Cinderella."
Wang Lu sighed.
"That cousin, I'm going to the washroom."
"Ok."
He answered absentmindedly.
Ru Shi washed her hands as she looked at the mirror
She can still see the look in Mu Chang's eyes when their eyes met.
She sighed.
"Why is Cinderella having trouble keeping prince charming?"
Ru Shi turned when she heard the sarcastic voice behind her.
