C45

A week later, Housekeeper Li delivered the custom-made dark blue evening gown into Su Wanbai's hands.

After going through the treatment of the therapist, Su Wanbai's mood improved a lot. However, just as she was getting better, Murong Aotian came to force her to do something she didn't like. Her already calm mood became anxious again, she snatched the scissors from the maid who was working on the needlework, and in a few strokes, she had cut the gown into pieces.

The Housekeeper Li seemed to have predicted that Su Wanbai would do this, so she took it in calmly.

After repeating this five times, Su Wanbai had finally vented out enough.

The Housekeeper Li smiled as he looked at her and made a gesture of "please".

Su Wanbai slowly walked down the stairs as the corner of her mouth lifted into a sarcastic smirk.

Didn't you tell me to go to some dinner party? Then I'll embarrass you! Murong Aotian, just you wait!

The banquet's venue was set up in the banquet hall of the Jin’s Group Building, and the workers began to go in and out of the hall in the afternoon.

The most relaxed person was probably Jin Yichen, who was sitting in the CEO's room, handling the complicated matters of work as usual.

He was much thinner than before, and even his normally round chin had become sharp. His face was clearly pale and haggard, but this did not affect his perception of the world. No matter how you looked at it, he was the perfect handsome guy.

What happened today? Why was he suddenly so sleepy?

He had drunk five cups of coffee in a row and was still too sleepy to open his eyes. He shook his head hard, trying to clear it, but the words on the document grew blurry and blurred.

Before long, he felt an unprecedented bumpiness, and faintly, the sounds of chaotic footsteps could be heard …

At eight o'clock, the banquet officially began.

The host called Jin Yichen numerous times, but no one picked up. These few days, his assistant had been busy at the venue early, and his secretary had brought the materials downstairs to the CEO's room to check, but there was no sign of President Jin.

Just as the guests were talking among themselves, a light suddenly came to the door of the hall.

A tall figure wearing a white suit appeared. His long and narrow eyes were slightly raised as they flickered with a breathtaking sharpness. The lips were a demonic pale purple, and when they were slightly raised, they gave off a mysterious feeling of a smile that was not a smile.

Someone from the crowd said softly, "Young Master Jin is great!"

The handsome young man smiled and nodded to the people who greeted him, and everyone was suddenly enlightened. The crowd immediately erupted into applause as the young man was escorted onto the stage.

The awkward banquet had calmed down once again due to Young Master Jin's descent from the sky.

Wealthy families would always look calm, and Jin Family was no exception. Without any warning, the Golden Second Young Master who had been in charge of the group's work suddenly appeared out of nowhere during the important annual banquet. What did this mean? Maybe because of the intense competition between the successor of the Jin Family, a lot of people who were optimistic about the Second Young Master began to curry favor with the Young Master.

After a short opening speech, the music began and the tedious official communication began. People were casually walking around with red wine cups in their hands, chatting with one another. It was a peaceful and peaceful scene.

At this time, the assistant and secretary at the door looked outside anxiously. Second Young Master had always been meticulous with his work and would never disappear for no reason, what was going on today? This was too abnormal! Although Eldest Young Master kept saying that his younger brother had something on the way to specially invite him to save the situation, what could be more important than the annual banquet?

A man in a suit and leather shoes appeared, holding the hand of a beautiful woman. The assistant and secretary were ecstatic. But when they got closer, the two discovered that it was actually the CEO of Murong Group and his female companion.

Wait, isn't this woman too beautiful? Her exquisite facial features, snow-white skin and curvy figure really made people envious. Although she did not understand why the two women kept staring at her, she smiled amiably in return.

The moment he stepped into the competition grounds, Murong Aotian looked around, searching for Jin Yichen.

"Young Master Murong, you've come late! They need to be punished with alcohol! " An unfamiliar yet extremely familiar voice came to his ears. Murong Aotian looked over with a slightly surprised expression.

Originally, he wanted to show off to Jin Yichen, but he didn't expect to meet the person he didn't want to see the most.

Ever since Jin Mengyao passed away, Jin Yihan took the initiative to request his father to manage the operations overseas. His father hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing. The eldest son and youngest daughter grew up together, and they were as close as one person. His younger sister suddenly went, making it impossible for him, who was the elder brother, to endure. Leaving this sorrowful place to heal was also a good thing. Who knew that this trip would take seven years? His father thought he would never come back, so he gradually left the task at hand to his second son.

"Big Brother, don't be a lamb!" Murong Aotian squinted his eyes, an unfathomable color slowly flowing in the depths of his eyes.

After Jin Yichen laughed dryly a few times, his gaze quickly turned towards Su Wanbai who was beside Murong Aotian.

"This lady is …" Jin Yihan's eyes lit up, and he purposely dragged out his last words.

"Mine... "Women!" Although Murong Aotian spoke calmly, his heart was in turmoil. It was the first time he was a deserter. He purposefully avoided the word "girlfriend" and even avoided addressing her as "bed mate". On one hand, he didn't want Jin Yihan to have any plans. On the other hand, he felt ashamed that he had to rely on imprisonment to keep a person he liked by his side.

Su Wanbai's somewhat unfocused gaze drifted into the distance, as if the conversation between these two men had nothing to do with her.

Murong Aotian held Su Wanbai's hand and wanted to turn around and leave, because he had a premonition that Jin Yihan had come prepared. Maybe in the next second, he would force him to let go of Su Wanbai's hand. Once she left, he might never have the chance to find her again in this life. Terror, panic, and bewilderment fiercely grabbed him. He felt oppressed here and wanted to leave immediately!

Jin Yihan extended his hand out, and blocked Murong Aotian's way.

The two men gazed at each other, their eyes crisscrossed, as if they were an army of thousands running in the air.

"This young lady doesn't seem to want to follow you!" Jin Yichen swept a glance at Su Wanbai's gloomy face from the corner of his eye and said indifferently.

"That's my problem, it has nothing to do with you!" Murong Aotian roared.

"It has nothing to do with me? This was not a primitive society. Nothing could be solved with brute force. I have always been someone who sees injustice and draws swords to help. I would like to ask this young lady if you are willing to be with him. " Jin Yihan smiled as he looked at Su Wanbai.

Su Wanbai clearly saw Murong Aotian's earnest gaze, but she still flung his hands away without hesitation.

"Give me a few minutes. I'll have a word with her." Murong Aotian fiercely grabbed Su Wanbai's wrist and brought her to the corner of the stairs.

"You really want to leave me?" Murong Aotian asked in a low voice.

"Right." Su Wanbai sneered.

"We've been together so long, I can't believe you don't feel anything for me. I want you to answer me honestly. Do you love me? " Murong Aotian stared deadly into Su Wanbai's eyes.

Su Wanbai lowered her head uncomfortably, and didn't dare look into Murong Aotian's eyes. She had never felt so conflicted in twenty years. All the warmth instantly surged in her heart. Unknowingly, she had already developed deep feelings for him. She didn't want to admit it, but she didn't have any reason to lie to herself, nor did she have any reason to lie to Murong Aotian who forced her into a dead end. Everyone was qualified to receive the truest of answers, including the devilish man in front of them.

"I love you, but I can't stay with you. I've had enough. I can't breathe because of the confinement of love. I'll give you two choices, keep your overbearing selfishness or give me freedom! " This was the first time Su Wanbai expressed her love for the opposite sex in such a naked manner.

"Who do you think you are? Why can't I change it if you want me to! " Murong Aotian never thought that his unreserved love would be exchanged for such a terrible evaluation from Su Wanbai. She said she had had enough. She said he was overbearing and selfish. How could she say such sad things!

"You …" Su Wanbai's last bit of hope was shattered.

They all said that "I love you" was the most beautiful love story in the world, but Murong Aotian placed the emphasis on the rest of the words. Was he so conceited that he thought he was the most perfect man in the world? It was because she was being too sentimental that she thought that his courageous confession would bring about a complete change in him. She was too naive, so naive that even she felt it was laughable.

At this moment, she was really like a joke. She was being played around by a demon, but she was still smug about it.

"Stay by my side, darling, I will give you all my love!" Murong Aotian said.

"No need, in your view of the world, I am not worthy!" Su Wanbai took a few steps back, his face ashen.

For the first time in her life, the confession had been trampled under her foot. She hated him, and she would never see him again.

Silence, a long silence!

The footsteps came closer and closer. Jin Duanhan was getting impatient from waiting.

"Would you like to be with him, miss? Have you thought it through? " Jin Yihan curled his lips, revealing a warm smile.

"I don't want to!" Su Wanbai glared at Murong Aotian with unconcealable disappointment.

"Once a person is blinded by love, they will forget the oath they once made. When I came back, I was there to supervise you. Since this young lady is unwilling to follow you, then it is truly a happy ending. " Jin Yichen squinted his eyes, looking at Su Wanbai up and down, causing her hair to stand on end.

"I hate people meddling in my family affairs!" Murong Aotian stared at Su Wanbai, his face full of disappointment.
