C48

The banquet was held on the third floor of the Star Restaurant. By the time Yu Tianheng and Qian Ning arrived, most of them were already there. They were standing in groups of twos and threes, glasses in hand, chatting and flattering each other with all sorts of smiles.

This was the first time that Jane Qianlin had participated in a banquet like this in a high society. She suppressed the small nervousness in her heart and placed both of her hands in the crook of Yu Tian Heng's arms. The corner of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle and proper smile.

Just as he entered the venue, a few men immediately walked over with a smile, and greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Heng! Long time no see. How have you been? This is …? " The person's eyes landed on Jian Qianlin and began to size her up.

Yu Tianheng's lips curved up into a charming smile, and he politely replied: "It's been a long time since I last saw you, CEO Zhang. This is my wife, you haven't met her, have you? Her name is Jane Qianlin. "

"Ah?!" The beauty beside CEO Zhang cried out in surprise, looking at Jian Qian Ning with a gaze full of surprise, she asked involuntarily, "Young Master Heng, you're already married? When did this happen? Why didn't I know? "Oh my god …"

Director Zhang's expression changed, and he coughed lightly as a warning, causing the beauty to stop talking. However, Yu Tian Heng didn't care, he still smiled and said: "It's been almost half a year since the wedding, and it's still popular to have a low-key marriage, it's normal that Miss Ling doesn't know about it."

"Yes, yes, yes …" Concealed marriage is a popular practice these days. " Director Zhang chuckled, extended his hand towards Jian Qianyu, and said in a flattering manner, "Good evening Madam Yu. This is the first time meeting, please advise."

"Good evening, Director Zhang. I can't say for sure." Jian Qian Ning smiled as she extended her hand to him, shook his hand, and then released him.

She hadn't thought that Yu Tianxiong would introduce her to the outside world like this. Hadn't he always wanted the outside world to know of her existence? Today, not only did he bring her to the party, but he even announced her to the public as his wife! I really didn't expect this!

Just as they were about to exchange pleasantries, a mocking female voice suddenly sounded out, "Boss Zhang, it's impossible that you don't know our Young Mistress Yu, right? Young Mistress Yu has appeared in the entertainment headlines of the city's evening paper before. It seems like Director Zhang doesn't like to read the newspapers. "

Jian Qian Ning's scalp suddenly turned numb as she raised her head to look at the source of the sound. He saw that Secretary Liu, who was dressed flirtatiously, was walking through the crowd and stopped in front of the crowd. A pair of charming eyes were looking at her mockingly.

Not only Jian Qian Ning, even Yu Tian Heng's face darkened, while everyone was stunned, he scolded: "Liu Xu! Shut up! Who told you to come here? "

Secretary Liu gave a charming smile, grabbed a man behind him and said, "I was invited. This is Hu Yang, the General Manager of Wida Group. You should have met him. I didn't expect to meet Young Master Heng and his wife. What a coincidence!"

Yu Tian Heng shot a glance at Hu Yang, then pulled Jane Qian Ning by the arm and walked inside. Secretary Liu came over and stood in front of the two of them, smiling as he raised his glass: "What's wrong, I came to toast to you two, it can't be that I don't even accept this, right? Young Master Heng, no matter what, I'm still the mother of your future son! "

She lowered her voice to a whisper and leaned forward, almost touching Yu Tian Heng's ear. With that, he raised his wine cup, and was about to drink all the wine in it, when Yu Tian Heng suddenly took out the cup from her hand, and said coldly: "Didn't the doctor tell you? Pregnant women are not allowed to drink alcohol! Hurry up and f * ck off home! "

Seeing that he was nervous about himself, Secretary Liu laughed even harder: "Young Master Heng, look at how I made you nervous. I was just happy, that's why I wanted a small cup of wine. Are you afraid that I will mistreat him? "Don't worry, I won't!"

As she spoke, her hand stroked her flat stomach. Under the gorgeous dress, her body was still beautiful, still sexy to the extreme!

At the beginning, Qian Ning was still able to pretend that she was calm. She was ashamed to the point that she couldn't continue pretending. The smile she forced out became more and more stiff. She quietly withdrew her hands from Yu Tian Heng's arms and stepped back.

Yu Tian Heng's tense expression hurt her eyes. Through the crowd, she could see Yu Tian Heng and Secretary Liu arguing. They were too far away for her to hear what they were arguing about. But from their expressions, it could be seen that Yu Tian Heng was worried about her. He advised her to return home early and to take care of her body!

He liked children very much. She knew it just by looking at Zhe Zhe being spoiled so it was normal for him to be nervous. After all, she had his seed in her stomach. However, Jian Qianyu was not a saint, so she couldn't just ignore it!

He sat alone in a corner and picked up a few pastries. However, he didn't have the slightest bit of appetite. It was as if he was chewing on wax. She retracted her gaze and refused to look at him again. She refused to be hurt by him, but … No matter how she tried to avoid it, her heart still ached!

With a smile, Jian Qian Ning rejected the men's invitation. She leaned back in her chair and looked at the dance floor. He watched the pair of beauties dancing, chatting, laughing, and having their skinny bodies surrounded by strangers. Looking around, he could not see anyone he knew. He wished that he could leave this strange place immediately!

She tried to open her eyes wide, trying to find a sense of familiarity in the crowd. Finally, she found it. It was Young Master An! Young Master An's figure was floating in the crowd, then he became clear and ashamed.

"Qian Ning, let's go, I'll teach you how to dance." Young Master An stood in front of her like a noble prince. He held out his hand to her, bending slightly, his eyes smiling, and that feeling...

Jian QianNing suddenly remembered the scene when she first met Young Master An. Young Master An stepped out of the Bentley and walked towards her through the crowd. It was with this kind of warm smile that he looked at her and said, "I think we've met before!"

It had already been eight years, but that unforgettable scene still hadn't left her heart, even though her reason for accepting him was a little far-fetched … It was because of the teardrop in the corner of his eye.

Young Master An didn't ask her to dance, but instead taught her to dance. He knew her well, and knew that she wasn't the kind of woman who liked to squeeze her head into society. She was just a normal person who could easily grab people on the street …

Leaving her husband to dance with another man, especially the young master of the imperial family, was not suitable at all. But when she saw that Yu Tian Heng and Secretary Liu had already entered the dance floor in an intimate embrace, she withdrew her hand and gently placed it in Young Master An's palm.

The slightly cold hand was instantly wrapped by his warm big palm. Jian Qianlin's heart was slightly moved. This feeling … The familiar feeling of being separated for so many years had suddenly returned, forcing her to enter a dazed state.

Young Master An led her onto the dance floor, holding her waist with one hand and holding her hand with the other. He lowered his eyes to look at her blank expression and said in a low voice, "Qian Ning, you need to focus on learning to dance. What are you thinking about?"

"Hmm? Oh... "I understand." Qian Ning shook her head and smiled apologetically. She turned around with her back to Yu Tianheng and Secretary Liu, and said to Young Master An, "I've never danced like this before. I'm afraid I'll step on you."

"No problem, just don't step on me with your heels." Young Master An didn't care. He smiled and held his hand tightly, the uneasiness in his heart slowly receding. She followed him carefully, not daring to be distracted for even a moment.

Her stiffness and nervousness made Young Master An laugh. He smiled and whispered into her ear, "You don't have to be so rigid. You can only jump with a bit of agility. You'll get used to it if you jump a few more times."

Jian Qian Ning relaxed her body, but once she lifted her foot, she immediately stepped on his foot. She gasped in a low voice, and instinctively wanted to move her foot away. Wearing high heels, she tilted her body and fell to the side, grabbing hold of Young Master An's hand with all her might.

"Be careful!" Young Master An quickly stretched out his arm, wrapped it around her waist and scooped it up, causing her to immediately fall into his embrace. With a false alarm, she leaned into his embrace and let out a deep breath.

"Are you okay?" Originally, she was fine. However, after being frightened by Jian Qianyu, Young Master An was also frightened. He hugged her and asked in concern. Jian Qian Ning withdrew herself from his embrace and apologetically shook her head. "I'm fine. Thank you."

"It's good that you're fine. Come, let's do it again." Young Master An relaxed and put his arm around her waist again. It had been a long time since he hugged her like this. They were already so close, but he still felt attached to her.

If he hadn't seen Yu Tian Heng leave her and Secretary Liu to kiss me, he wouldn't have taken the liberty of asking her to dance. If he didn't see how persistent Jian Chen was, he would have long used his evil character to snatch her back.

The actions between Young Master An and Jian Qianyu caught Yu Tian Heng's attention. His face darkened. Even though he had been doing his best to ignore it, he still couldn't help but be tied down by her.

Her laughter and every intimate action she made with Young Master An were deeply stimulating to him. It was so stimulating that he could not help but tighten his grip around Secretary Liu's waist, pinching his face to the point that the expression on his face changed due to the pain.

Secretary Liu took in a light breath, but continued to smile charmingly. He smiled and leaned into Yun Che's embrace, "Young Master Heng, I think it's more appropriate to have Jian Qian Ning and Young Master An here. Did you see that? This is a perfect match, a match made in heaven! "

She smiled as she turned around, so that Yu Tian Heng could see Young Master An and Jane Qian Ning more clearly. In her opinion, Young Master An was her lucky star, always coming at the right time.

Yu Tian Heng impatiently pushed her out, and said with a warning tone: "Miss Liu, a dance is about to end. I hope you can keep your promise. Where are you going to come from and stop causing trouble?"

"Young Master Heng … "How could I say where I would go from? I just promised Young Master Heng that I wouldn't drink anymore in the future." Secretary Liu smiled and snuggled back into his embrace. He simply hooked a pair of slender arms around his neck with a warm expression on his face.

Before the song even finished, she felt like she couldn't jump anymore. No matter how she tried to avoid it, she would always look at him and see Secretary Liu in his arms smiling happily. She even suspected that the reason Yu Tian brought her out this time was to embarrass her in front of the crowd.

Since Young Master An was so close to her, he could naturally feel her restless heart and lead her back to her seat.

"Young Master An, so you were here and made it easy for me to find you …" A graceful and beautiful woman suddenly walked out from the crowd, and said with a smile, her gaze swept across Jian Qian Ning's body, and just as she was about to speak, Young Master An introduced her with a smile, "Sister Yun, this is Jian Qian Ning, Qian Ning. She is a friend I met in a foreign country, and she is also my partner today."

"Hello, Sister Yun." Jian Qian Ning smiled as she greeted him.

Yun-jie smiled and said, "I heard someone pointing fingers at you and thought something had happened, but then I realized that Miss Jian is Young Master Heng's wife. No wonder she was so suspicious."

With a pale face, Jian Chen couldn't tell if Sister Yun was lying or just faking it. She smiled lightly but didn't say anything. Yun-jie spoke again, "Young Master An, the Director Zhong that I wanted to introduce to you is over there. Come, let me introduce him to you."

"Alright, I'll be there in a while …" Young Master An looked at her. It was obvious that he couldn't bear to leave her alone in this unfamiliar place. However, she simply smiled indifferently and said, "Young Master An, hurry up and go with Big Sister Yun. Don't make others wait."

"Then you …" Young Master An looked at Yu Tian Heng and Secretary Liu on the dance floor, unable to bear to leave.

The corner of Jian Chen's lips curled up into a smile as he pointed at the fine pastries on the table in front of him. "I want to eat something here."

When Young Master An and Sister Yun left together, Jane Qianlin finally let out a sigh of relief and slumped into a chair. She knew that Young Master An couldn't bear to see her embarrassed, but she couldn't keep hindering him, could she?

The voices of the ladies could be heard. They were all surprised that she was Young Master Heng's wife, while he was dancing with the beautiful Secretary Liu. It was the heartlessness and sorrow of talking about Young Master Heng.

Jian Qian Ning lowered her head as though nothing had happened. She was bored as she used her fork to fork out the delicate pastries, but she still didn't have the appetite to eat them. At this moment, her arm was suddenly buckled by something like a steel ring. The next moment, his body left the chair and hit a similarly steel-like chest.

Jian Qian Ning was startled by this sudden action. She raised her head and coincidentally met the sullen gaze of Yu Tian Heng. She knew what he was angry about, but at that moment she only turned her face away, deliberately ignoring his anger.

"Jane Qian Ning, what exactly do you mean? You want to embarrass me? " Yu Tian Heng grabbed her arm, wishing he could crush her. He kept his voice low, his back facing the crowd, no one could see his face.

She tried to struggle free from his clutches, her tone calm and calm: "Young Master Heng, this is not the Imperial Mansion, you can hit me however you want, you can curse me, you can ridicule me, can you please let me go?"

Yu Tian Heng's breath was stuck in his throat, making him clench his teeth in anger. With a shake of his body, the woman in front of him changed into an exquisite looking, sharp-tongued woman. It seemed like he really shouldn't have brought her here. He shouldn't have given her the chance to present her beautiful side to Young Master An.

He did not let go of her, but stared hatefully at her charming face. On the contrary, it was Jian Qian Ning who spoke again, and said softly, "In the end, who was the one that deliberately embarrassed who? Young Master Heng, do you think that the person you just hugged wasn't a woman? "

"So it was because of her." Yu Tian Heng smiled, "Since you care about it so much, then that's for the best. I'm just afraid that you won't feel anything." He finally let go of her hand, and her white arm turned red.

Actually, he wanted to say that he was going to dance with Secretary Liu because he hoped that Secretary Liu would agree to leave on his own after the dance and not stay here to cause trouble. That was why he agreed to dance with her. However, he, who had a strong self-esteem, immediately said something that hurt others without blood. He regretted it the moment he said it, but words that came out were like splashing water …

"Of course I care, just like how you care that I'm together with Young Master An, because we're husband and wife." Jian Qianyu faintly smiled, her heart filled with bitterness as she looked at his increasingly green face. From the very beginning, she and he had always been hurting each other, torturing each other. Just when would this life end? She was really tired of it.

She and Young Master An clearly had nothing, and were as pure as white paper. Yet, she still said those ambiguous words to goad him, hurt him, and challenge his male dignity in such a situation.

She wanted to end it, so she put down her blade before he did and gave up. "Young Master An and I …"

"Young Master Heng …" Just as she was about to confess to Young Master An, a beautiful woman in a light green dress came over and interrupted her words. The beauty walked in front of Yu Tian Heng with a smile, causing Jian Qian Ning to unconsciously take a step back. Hearing the beauty say excitedly, "Young Master Heng, long time no see. Why haven't you been looking for her recently?"

Yu Tian Heng did not care about the gloomy-faced Jian Qian Ning. He extended his arm to wrap around the woman's waist as his charming smile blossomed at the same time: "We've been working on a new project, so we don't have time. We'll definitely love you more in the future."

"Disgusting, that's what Young Master Heng said before." The beauty snorted in dissatisfaction, her hot body constantly sticking to his body. She then said coquettishly, "I specifically snuck in just to get away with it. Don't you want me to dance with you?"

"Of course." Yu Tian Heng's smile was still extremely bewitching as he walked past her with the beauty in his arms. He did not even look at her once. Since it was an injury, he would definitely do it even more cruelly than she did. This was him!

Jian Qian Ning's heart was sinking bit by bit. It was so heavy that she almost suffocated.

Finally, she could no longer put on airs of being elegant and generous. She got up, steadied her body, and walked towards the direction of the terrace. If escaping was any use, she would rather run far away and keep her eyes clean, but could she?

On the balcony of the hotel stood a group of people chatting privately. When Qian Ning glanced around, she realized that they were all people she didn't know. Hesitatingly, he walked out and stood in front of the fence. He could see the traffic outside. Although the air here was filled with the clamor of the city, it was much better than the suffocating air inside.

She casually found a chair and sat down, quietly watching the scenery outside. She was thinking that she should leave early, that she should continue sitting here, wait for him to finish, smile with him, bid them farewell, and then leave for home.

Just when she thought she finally found a quiet place, that heart-wrenching female voice rang out again behind her, "Hey, why is Young Mistress Yu so carefree? You actually have the chance to stay here and stare blankly by yourself? "

It was Secretary Liu. At this moment, she was standing behind Jane QianNing. Her tone was full of mockery as she used one hand to gently stroke her flat stomach. Just by hearing her voice, she had the urge to turn around and leave. She did not think that she had any contact with Secretary Liu, nor did she want to see her arrogant face with the crown prince on it.

She turned her head and looked at him quietly before smiling, "Miss Liu, I wonder what kind of shocking words you will say today? But I advise you not to say anything at all. That's because no matter what you say, I will only feel that it's a little hand that's jealous of me jumping off a beam. That look is very funny, and also very shameful, do you understand? "

Her words made Secretary Liu angry. He had wanted to come over and give her a good humiliating, but he didn't expect that she would humiliate him before he could. How could she not be angry?

However, what kind of grievances had she not heard before in the company? He had never heard of any sort of humiliation before, so he naturally wouldn't fall just because of a few simple words. The angry expression quickly disappeared from her face, and her bright red lips curved up into a smile as she said, "What is Miss Jane talking about? There were plenty of people who humiliated her, so she probably didn't know the woman who was currently hugging with Young Master Heng, right? Regardless of whether it is in terms of value or appearance, she is much more valuable than us common folk. Young Master Heng almost married her at that time, but that is all in the past now, so there is no meaning in talking about it now. "

Since there's no point in knowing, then please stop." In her opinion, what did it mean to have thousands of gold and what did it mean to have a noble background? Wasn't he the type of person who had gone through hundreds of battles to gain vanity? Even a married man like Yu Tianheng. How could a truly noble and charming daughter do such a shameful thing?

Secretary Liu raised his hand and said, "Oh, right, I'll stop talking. I have urgent matters to discuss with Miss Jane."

"What is it?" Jian QianNing lifted her eyelids as she stared at her. She thought to herself, what kind of things could she and someone like her have to discuss? Without waiting for her to finish her doubts, Secretary Liu smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing much to do. I was just thinking … After all, Miss Jane has been here for a long time. I would like to ask Miss Jane for some advice on the matters concerning pregnancy and so on. Would Miss Jane tell me her experience? I will be very grateful to Miss Jane. "

"Sorry, no comment." Jane turned around and walked back to the outside of the hotel. As she turned around, her eyes happened to brush past the French windows. When she saw Yu Tian Heng chatting happily with Cheng Da Jin, she was so wronged that she almost broke down in tears.

"Miss Jane is not that stingy, is she? Sigh, actually, I was just worried that there would be a pair of ugly monsters like Miss Jane. I wanted to know how Miss Jane got pregnant in the first place, so I paid more attention to it myself. "

Qian Ning stood up from the chair, raised her arm and threw a palm at Secretary Liu's delicate face. Secretary Liu closed his eyes out of instinct. However, her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone. It was Young Master An. Young Master An grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side. He said, "Qian Ning, there is no need to do anything to some people. Don't hurt your hand."

Secretary Liu opened his eyes and quickly took a step back to ensure his safety.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them. Staring at Secretary Liu, she said coldly, "If it wasn't for the fact that you are pregnant, I would have destroyed your mouth. Miss Liu, if you want your child to be healthy and normal, then you should have accumulated some merits from now on."

Normally, whatever Secretary Liu said to her, she could endure it for the sake of the bigger picture. However, she could not talk about her child! She had never felt that her child was a freak, nor would she allow others to openly insult her child!

"You … Nutjob! Violent Berserk! " Secretary Liu didn't expect her to fly into a rage, but seeing that Young Master An was present, he felt a little apprehensive. After throwing down those words, he quickly turned around and walked back into the house.

As she watched her leaving figure, she closed her eyes once again. She took a deep breath, but the restlessness in her heart was quickly driven away.

Yu Tian Heng was chatting warmly with the beautiful woman in his embrace. Of course, all of this was just on the surface. In fact, from the moment Jian Qian Ning entered the venue, his gaze had been following her intentionally or unintentionally.

He saw her break the pastries into pieces, saw her embrace Young Master An, saw her walk out of the terrace, and, of course, saw the argument between her and Secretary Liu. But... He merely turned around, and when he looked up he saw that she had left the terrace at some point. He stepped back a little, but she was still nowhere to be seen.

Yu Tian Heng immediately let go of the beauty in his embrace, and quickly walked towards the balcony.

The beauty did not know why, but after a moment of shock, she quickly caught up with him and grabbed his hand anxiously: "Hey, Young Master Heng, what's wrong? Why did he suddenly leave … Young Master Heng, you still haven't answered me. Can we eat together tomorrow night … "

The beautiful woman did not care about her image, and she did not mind being embarrassed. She followed closely behind Yu Tian Heng. Yu Tianheng didn't even turn his head as he said, "I'm sorry, but I promised my son that I would take him out for dinner tomorrow night."

"What about another day?"

"We'll talk about it another day." As Yu Tian Heng said this, the beauty finally stopped and looked at him, who had been filled with tenderness just a moment ago, as if he had become a completely different person. She walked further and further away, ashamed, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Yu Tianheng walked out of the balcony and swept his gaze over the area. He didn't see Jian Qianyu's figure. He walked over to the railing and looked down. Downstairs, he saw the front door of the hotel as well as the parking lot. With a glance, he saw Jane Qianlin pulling open the door of the Bentley and getting in. That Bentley sports car was Young Master An's current ride.

"Jian Qian Ning!" Stop right there! " He let out an uncontrollable roar, and the Bentley slid slowly out of the parking lot and into the traffic, vanishing quickly.

He did not expect that Jian Qianyu would leave with Young Master An, why was it Young Master An? Why did it have to be him? His clenched fists slammed heavily against the railing. His anger was burning with shame at her departure …
