The atmosphere of the ball was very good, and not many people came.

Most of them looked like foreigners, with very few Chinese, even Shi Yao was not familiar with them.

After that, his gaze stopped at Li Xin who was holding a wine cup at the side. Shi Yao finally saw someone who was somewhat familiar with him, and Li Xin's gaze seemed to also be directed towards Shi Yao.

Then, he chatted with his foreign friends for a while before carrying a glass of juice and walked over with large strides.

"Miss Shi, I never thought that someone would let a pregnant you come to a place like this. It's too dangerous for people to come and go."

Shi Yao raised her head, looked at Mo Jintu, and chuckled: "It's nothing, besides he has me by his side, so he can be at ease. However, I didn't think that Miss Li would also come to this banquet."

"I was originally here to participate in Fashion Week, but I received Mr. Bai Dewen's invitation to come over as well." With that, Li Xin handed the fruit juice in her hand over to Shi Yao: "Last time, I even forgot that you were pregnant, and even let you drink with me. Other than that, I wonder if Miss Shi would drink with me today, using fruit juice as a substitute?"

"Of course."

Shi Yao took the cup that Li Xin passed to him, and after clinking cups with Li Xin, he took a sip of the fruit juice and smiled slightly.

Li Xin drank a mouthful of red wine and looked to the other side: "Then I'll go take care of other matters first. If there's still time later, we'll talk."

"Alright."

Looking at Li Xin's back figure as she turned around, Shi Yao heaved a long sigh and raised her head to look at Mo Jintu's face.

"Actually, I feel that it's also good for Mr. Shen to be together with him. The other party is gentle and generous, and their temperament seems to be extraordinary. They should be very suitable for Mr. Shen."

"Yes."

Shi Yao helplessly looked at where Shen Congran was. The other party did not seem to have noticed Li Xin's existence and was chatting happily with some foreign merchants.

Or perhaps he had long known of the other party's existence, only, he had continuously fought against these benefits and simply did not have the time to socialize with Li Xin who was on the other side.

No one could explain the situation between the two of them clearly.

At this time, Bai Dewen, who was wearing a blue suit, walked down from the stairs and saw the happiness on his face.

Before Shi Yao could react, Bai Dewen had already pulled Shi Yao's hand and gently kissed the back of the hand that Shi Yao was holding the cup with.

"Beautiful Miss Zigzag, I didn't expect to see you again. I wonder how your body is recovering?"

Shi Yao looked at that pair of beautiful eyes and nodded woodenly.

"What happened last time made Mo Mo worry for a long time, and this is the first time I've seen Mo like this …" After saying that, Bai Dewen smiled slightly: "Truly interesting, for a person like him to actually be together with someone like this, I originally thought that Mo's sexual orientation had met with some problems, and it seems like I met the beautiful Miss Shi."

Listening to the other party's awkward Chinese, Shi Yao laughed softly and politely nodded her head.

Bai Dewen casually brought a cup of red wine from the waiter's side and handed it over to Mo Jintu. With a smile, Bai Dewen could already tell that this man was extremely confident in himself.

"It looks like you are about to become a father, and you should take care of Miss Shi more in the future. Otherwise, you will be a failed man."

"I thought I was already a failed man in your eyes."

Bai Dewen paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, looked at Mo Jintu and nodded, then shook his head.

"I think so, but that can only mean that Mo is a charming man, that's why so many women are enchanted by you, right?"

Listening to the two of them talking and laughing, Shi Yao was completely confused.

After that, under Mo Jintu's relaxation, Shi Yao went to look for food with the orange juice in her hand. It seemed that she did not plan to make herself suffer from this matter.

Faintly, a voice called out to him from behind.

Shi Yao was stunned for a moment, and she did not turn her head around.

"Shi Yao!"

Shi Yao tilted her head, and amongst the crowd, there was a man wearing a mask, which didn't look too out of the ordinary. Shi Yao hesitated as she looked at the man behind him, and furrowed his brows.

He never thought that the man would already be walking directly towards Shi Yao's direction.

"You don't have to be afraid. I promise you, I'll stay by your side and protect you."

Shi Yao's eyes widened, she could already guess who this voice was and she spoke in a hushed tone, "Fang Junting, why did you come back here? Weren't you supposed to be in the country?"

"Of course I will come when I know you're here."

"When that time comes, Mo Jintu will see that you have lost your temper again, so you shouldn't stay for too long."

Fang Junting pulled Shi Yao into her embrace, and Shi Yao's entire person solidly bumped into Fang Junting's firm chest.

Beneath the mask, her lips could still be seen to be lifted slightly. Shi Yao did not find any hint of emotion, and at the same time, she did not know why she felt such a sense of fear in this kind of situation.

Fang Junting held onto Shi Yao's wrist tightly, his smile not changing.

"Let me take you for a walk outside. Don't you feel that the air here is very heavy?"

Shi Yao shook her head and gently tapped the tip of her nose with her finger: "Liar."

Before he was taken away by Fang Junting, Mo Jintu appeared out of nowhere and sat between the two of them. His face was extremely ugly, as though it wouldn't be long before he lost all his temper.

"What are you two doing here? Can I know? "

Fang Junting took off the mask on his face, "If you don't cherish the person in front of you, why not give it to me? Moreover, the relationship between you and my cousin right now is still ambiguous, why do you bring Shi Yao here to look at others? "

"I naturally have to bring along my people. Don't you think that you're a bit nosy for being like this?"

Shi Yao took a deep breath. She did not know what to say, and wanted to make some adjustments in the middle, but as for adjusting the atmosphere in front of him, it seemed like it would not be an easy matter.

Right at this time, Mo Jintu pulled Shi Yao into his embrace, looking at him with a provocative gaze.

"You are not going to be able to take my people away."

"Didn't you come here to get closer to Bai Dewen? Bai Dewen should be feeling guilty towards Shi Yao because he did not manage to investigate and find out from the fall last time, so it just so happens that people are closer to Bai Dewen as a cushion, isn't that so? "

Shi Yao's heart thumped.

Shi Yao also didn't want to believe what Fang Junting had said, but Mo Jintu's previous attitude was completely different from now. If someone said that there was nothing strange about the situation, Shi Yao wouldn't believe it either.

There were some things that he knew better than anyone else. It was exactly because of this that he felt like he had a grudge in his throat when he faced such a situation.

"You came over? Or go with him? " Mo Jintu did not explain, but only coldly asked.

Shi Yao's eyes turned cold, she found herself in the middle of the two people, and discovered that she looked like a complete and utter clown.

However, they did not want to get into a fight with Mo Jintu in the competition, and even if it was using items, they should be able to display their worth to the best of their abilities.

Shi Yao took Fang Junting's hand out and smiled apologetically at him.

"Thank you for coming, but I'm Mo Jintu's companion today, so …"

"It's fine. If there's anything that you're unhappy about, just remember to contact me. Do you understand?"

Shi Yao subconsciously nodded her head as she put on her mask and turned to leave.

Mo Jintu saw that Shi Yao's expression did not look good, but Shi Yao still managed to struggle free from her grasp, trying her best to maintain a gentle smile on her face.

"If your business with Bai Dewen is truly successful, then let me go, I beg you."

Mo Jintu grabbed onto Shi Yao's wrist, "It's not just that, thank you for not leaving with Fang Junting today."

Shi Yao was slightly stunned as she lifted her head to look at Mo Jintu. With a smile still on her face, she said, "Because if I make another deal with you, what I want is to leave your side, and never, never meet again. That will naturally be the best."

Hearing Shi Yao's words, the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes red, Mo Jintu suddenly felt his heart tensing up, as though he did not know what else to say.

With regards to Shi Yao, it was indeed a little too much. Even if there was doubt in her mind, everything she had done was way too much.

Mo Jintu held onto Shi Yao's hand tightly, pulled his into her embrace and whispered into Shi Yao's ear.

"I'm sorry."

"I won't say it's all right." Shi Yao slowly pushed Mo Jintu away.

However, he still maintained the pretense that he was getting along harmoniously with Mo Jintu, as if there was something in his heart that made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but he had to restrain himself from crying at this time.

The warmth of Mo Jintu's palm continuously transmitted from that tightly clenched fist. Shi Yao only felt that the relationship between the two of them, had already unconsciously become as foreign as a foreign road.

There were some words that he didn't know how to explain or how to continue, but the suffocating feeling in his chest made him breathless.

During the ball, it was not convenient for Shi Yao to dance, and she did not dance with any girls.

On the other hand, Shen Congran and Li Xin danced a song and then continued to chat and laugh like friends, only second to their friends.

Shi Yao and Mo Jintu sat on the sofa in the corner.

"When can I return home, or can you arrange for me to stay here? But I don't trust you right now, if you insist on letting me stay here, I still hope that you can make an agreement with me."

"What agreement?" I don't have any other intentions. Can you calm down? "

"Can't... There's nothing for the two of us to say. This is it for now, and I don't want to be affected by you again. I just hope you can understand. " Shi Yao patted his stomach, "And my child, you won't have any rights to take it away from me in the future."

"Shi Yao..."

"Shut up, there's no need to say anything between the two of us. Why don't we reveal our cards right now? I'll find a suitable place to finish myself from here and make this bigger!"
