C531

The lounge was translucent in design, and the windows were transparent floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed one to see inside.

Before entering, Li Shinian pulled Li Quan a bit, "What the hell are you guys doing?"

"Just to get together."

"But I don't think you have anything good to do with them. Besides, we don't have any relationship with them, do we?" Li Shinian felt that it was very strange.

Since she was coming with him, why didn't Li Quan take the initiative to invite her instead of letting Zhu Jiangci, the outsider, invite her?

It was understandable that the two of them had come out to play. After all, they would soon become unmarried couples as well.

But Zhu Jiangci was also there, wasn't it a little too strange?

"Alright, I won't do anything to you. Come, let's go in first." Li Quan smiled and took the initiative to grab her hand, attempting to pull her in.

Even if Li Shinian had doubts in his heart, and was unwilling to go in, he was brought inside the house.

After pushing open the door to the resting room, she realized that it wasn't just Zhu Jiangci who was inside, there were a few other people that she was unfamiliar with.

She listened to Li Quan's greetings and their courteous greetings.

Compared to those people whom he had never met before, Li Shinian was even more familiar with Li Quan, so when Li Quan was communicating with the others, she subconsciously moved closer to Li Quan's side, almost hiding behind him.

Li Quan noticed her small movements and a smile appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Li Quan quietly shifted his position, blocking Li Shinian completely.

Li Shinian hid behind Li Quan, and his gaze fell upon the hand Li Quan was holding on to, and he became slightly lost in thought.

After a long while, she gently struggled, struggling free from his grasp.

She listened to their conversation and knew why they were here...

Originally, it was because of the cooperation between the Li and Chu Families, but now that the cooperation was over, they came here together as partners.

However …

Why invite her?

Her relationship with Li Quan had not been completely made clear, nor had it been made public.

Furthermore, the person who invited her here was Zhu Jiangci, wouldn't that be a little too strange?

Li Shinian was lost in his thoughts, and for a moment, he did not notice what they were talking about, so he was even less aware that all of their gazes were now on her.

When she finally regained her senses, she looked up with a slightly dazed expression. Seeing the teasing or mischievous smiles of others, she seemed to be at a loss.

Li Quan laughed and said, "Soon, when the invitation is sent, you all must give me face."

"Of course, we will definitely be there to soak in the joy."

"That's right, I didn't expect that at such a young age, Mr Li would be able to marry a beautiful wife, and make all of us envy her."

More and more people started to flatter him, and more and more people started to look at her.

She openly pursed her lips into a faint smile, knowing what they were doing in the depths of her heart.

It was simply that her engagement to Li Quan as a family member had been made public, and they were constantly blessing her.

Since it was a blessing, there was no reason not to accept it.

Her gracious manner had garnered more recognition.

After this round of pleasantries, Li Shinian, who had not eaten in the first place, was so hungry that he fainted.

She whispered to Li Quan, "I want to go eat something, is that okay?"

"Go, don't go too far away." Li Quan also knew that she was hungry, so he did not force her to stay.

After watching her obediently leave and sit on the sofa in the corner, Li Quan slowly withdrew his gaze.

Unfortunately for them, Zhu Jiangci was also resting here.

From the moment he arrived here, he had assumed an unapproachable posture, and no one dared to come up and greet him.

They were seated on either side of the sofa, about two or three seats apart.

Zhu Jiangci glanced at her and saw that she was leaning forward to grab something to eat. He asked, "Did you not eat anything?"

"..." "Right." She didn't even turn around as she merely gave a soft "En" and placed two of the dessert onto a plate. Then, she elegantly sat by the side and nibbled on her food.

Compared to the warm up over there, it was much quieter over here.

She only came here to find something to eat and fill her stomach, not wanting to talk to Zhu Jiangci.

As she was eating, Zhu Jiangci suddenly asked, "Are you guys getting engaged?"

Li Shinian was startled, and blankly turned her gaze to look at him, as she gently nodded her head, "Mn, yes."

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

"…"

She blinked, but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, she saw the man getting closer and closer to her. She subconsciously stepped back when he reached out his hand towards her.

"Don't move."

In the next second, a strange manly scent quickly invaded her senses. Her slightly cold fingers gently brushed the skin on her face.

She blinked, then blinked again, her gaze almost frozen.

Zhu Jiangci was also shocked. He wiped off the cream on the corner of her mouth and looked away, "There's something on your face."

"Oh …" She slowly touched her face, then turned around and lowered her head to sit down.

God knows how fast her heart was beating as he approached.

That feeling of losing control was something she had never experienced before.

It was as if the week she had been locked up, her obscure sense of security, had shamed her.

She didn't dare to eat anymore.

He hastily left his plate and fork behind, stood up and prepared to leave.

A man sneaked out of the lounge to get some fresh air.

She had never been to this place and was unfamiliar with the road.

Fortunately, there was a map on the corridor. She looked at it for a moment and then silently memorized the road. Then, she wandered around the villa alone.

In the ancient villa, the winding paths were long and quiet.

She walked through the crescent-shaped stone arch and stepped onto the bluestone path. She wandered aimlessly into someone else's yard.

Seeing the back of the child in the chaise longue and the woman feeding the fish by the lake, she said, "I'm sorry, but I accidentally broke into this place and disturbed you."

As soon as she said that, the woman turned around.

Li Shinian's pupils suddenly shrank.

This should be the first time the two of them met face to face, right?

She once sneaked a glance at Su Qiao An, and only knew that she was really similar to him.

She was even more surprised to see him again.

The other party seemed to be very surprised to see her as well. Looking at her face, he was no less astonished than she was.

"It's alright, you … Is he also here to attend the banquet? "

Her voice was soft and soft.

Li Shinian regained his senses, "Mn … I came out to take a stroll and get some fresh air. I didn't expect to come here. I didn't mean to disturb you, so don't mind me. "

She gave a slight smile and shook her head, "Yan Zhi and I are very bored here, it's better if you come. If you don't mind, you can stay and sit for a while."
