Feng Alin moved to stand before her but Sheng Ruming grabbed his hand and whispered dangerously, "Alin, all kinds of people are watching you. Do you want them to see how shameless you are?"
Because of Feng Alin's carefree personality, in the past, he had offended some bloggers, pissed off some directors and had near-death clashes with the top queen of the entertainment industry.
But because he had the support of Yan, Feng Sheng and Su family, the people who went head-on against him were defeated terribly.
So the favourite idol of several millions of fans, who always jumped between drama, advertisement, modelling industry due to his mood swings, got several anti-fans who would snatch every opportunity to drag him to mud.
"Cough!" Feng Alin's smile stiffened. He glanced around and noticed many people were giving them occasional glances. "My bad…"
"When have you come back?" Sheng Ruming ignored Feng Alin and asked the other man. However, he couldn't stay calm when Feng Shaoling's gazes were locked onto Luo Lixi.
Luo Lixi felt awkward before the three pairs of eyes. She nodded her head towards Feng Shaoling, "Doctor Feng, I remember you. Long time no see."
Even though Luo Lixi was smiling, for some reason Feng Shaoling felt pain in his heart. "Miss Li, aren't you a secretary?"
Several questions were floating in Feng Shaoling's mind but the man knew that she was the fiancée mentioned on the invitation card judging from her dress.
"Umm…" Luo Lixi was helpless before Feng Shaoling. 'Is he said? But he looks devastated… why though?!'
The answer for 'why', even though she didn't know, Sheng Ruming understood because of his male instinct.
Smiling while hiding a dagger and warning the other man, Sheng Ruming abruptly grabbed Luo Lixi by the waist and dragged her.
He did this slowly and swiftly, appearing very normal and sweet in other people's eyes.
"Meet my future wife, you two. Luo Lixi. Remember your sister-in-law's name clearly."
Feng Shaoling didn't reply while Feng Alin nodded, "Of course."
Feng Shaoling couldn't remain still in front of this situation. Nonetheless, he said with a lot of difficulties, "Well… I wish you two happiness."
"Thanks." Watching Luo Lixi's bright smile, seemed to injure his broken heart more.
After Feng Shaoling was done, he turned towards Feng Alin, "I will take my leave then. Let's talk later."
"Alright." Sheng Ruming was more than happy to agree.
"Let's go Alin." Feng Shaoling dragged him away. Even though Feng Alin wanted to talk more, he was dragged until they went beside their mother.
Afterwards, Feng Shaoling went somewhere, saying he had some business to attend to.
… ...
Su Mengsi was looking at the two people who had just exchanged engagement. She turned away and looked over beside her. She thought Yan Ruomin was standing there but unexpectedly, it was Chi Bainian.
Chi Bainian and she were standing at the side. The latter wasn't in good shape. Since she knew that the girl she had insulted was not a secretary but the heiress of the Luo Corporation, she felt like spurting out blood.
They only dared to provoke people lower than themselves but if the person is higher than them, they would rather have nothing to do than having a conflict.
When she noticed Su Mengsi's eyes on her, she couldn't sit still anymore, "Why did Wei Airan invite those people?! Do they have the same status as us?"
There were other people beside them. Hearing her, some people coincidentally glanced at Chen Baishi.
Even though Chen Bainian's family was invited all because of her, they didn't come. One reason was that her stepson and the other reason was her husband. Both of them felt it was shameful if they needed to attend such a grand occasion because of a vain woman.
The person involved felt the others gaze but she didn't give them any glance and was standing straight beside Wei Airan.
"Huh! How dare she ignore us? Does she think that she could act mighty just because Wei Airan favours her over us?!"
It was obvious that Chi Bainian was targeting Chen Baishi to relieve her awkwardness. Su Mengsi felt irritated by her so she wanted to move away but suddenly Chi Bainian lessened the distance between them and whispered, "Sister Mengsi, I have a huge gossip… about this Luo Lixi."
Hearing it, Su Mengsi paused in her steps and turned around, "What gossip?"
Watching Su Mengsi's face which would show a frown on the next moment, Chi Bainian didn't stop and blurted whatever she knew, "Well, you might don't know that Luo Lixi has a brother, named Luo Lixiang. Before Luo Lixi, he was made the CEO but several days ago, old master Luo removed him from his position and made Luo Lixi the CEO."
Su Mengsi frowned as her gaze fell to a side where Luo Lixi had come down and was talking with Luo Qintian. Currently, the podium was filled with people who were busy entertaining others.
"Really? This Luo Lixi, then she isn't any good thing." Su Mengsi's eyes deepened as she glanced at Luo Lixi. 'Removing her brother and snatching everything…' As she thought this, her eyes darted towards the area where Luo Qintian was seated with his old friends. He wore a gentle expression as his eyes were fixed on Luo Lixi.
'Even the old man seems to dote on her… surely, a person gets everything in the world if God dotes on her.' Her teeth itched in annoyance as she left the scene.
… …
The function ended around midnight. Many people left the villa. "Here I thought it would be a grand event. People were discussing too much about this. In the end, all is about rainbow fart!" Luo Minwei, Luo Lixi's distance cousin grumbled as their car left the compound of the villa.
Chen Yuyan glanced at her husband, Luo Tiankong and asked hesitantly, "Madam Wang, is she okay?"
The man frowned, "Why won't she? Is there something I don't know yet?"
Chen Yuyan hesitated but in the end, she shook her head, "Nothing. Just that she didn't seem to be normal. In the function, I saw her exiting the villa in a fluster."
The frown on the man's forehead deepened. But he didn't comment and continued to drive.
Luo Minwei was upset that Luo Lixi was able to get such an outstanding man. Her heart was jealous as she murmured, "Why did they let such a loose woman marry into their Sheng family? In the end, people become blind before money…"
The car abruptly stopped. The two women were taken aback when Luo Tiankong turned around and glared in extreme anger, "Yuyan, tell your daughter to keep her mouth in check! Does she want me to fall in trouble?! I still work in the Luo Corporation even if I have a piece of share in it!"
"But Dad!" Luo Minwei was adamant to give in.
Chen Yuyan grabbed Luo Minwei's hand and whispered, "Don't talk back to your father. He didn't say anything wrong. Don't you know that it's not Lixiang but Lixi who has the power to change your fate if you offend her?"
After Luo Minwei heard it, her restless heart calmed down. She didn't like it when she felt inferior to others.
On top of that, she hated the fact that even though the two people shared the same surname, their lives were different.
… …
Only after 1 am, did the villa become quiet. "Elder Luo, please stay today."
Wei Airan walked towards him and earnestly asked, "From Zhu, I have heard that your health isn't too well. Also, it will take several hours to reach your home. For your body, it's not good."
Luo Qintian shook his head as he intended to deny, "The matter is done. So there is no need to stay. We shall better leave."
But Wei Airan was reluctant. From Sheng Ruming's face, it was also visible that the man didn't want to let Luo Lixi go in such an important time, "Elder, we are already a family. Staying one night won't harm anyone, will it?"
The old man turned his face to Luo Lixi and wanted the other to talk things through but she was too engrossed in giving Sheng Ruming some glances that she ignored her grandfather.
In the end, Luo Qintian decided to stay in the villa. Sheng Ruming was overjoyed inwardly. His intention was to keep Luo Lixi even if the old had any objections. Now that he had agreed, he was saved from acting a tyrannical Young Master Sheng.
Luo Qintian was given the best guest room on the second floor while Luo Lixi was arranged to stay beside Sheng Ruming's room.
When it was past three am, the door of the two rooms opened simultaneously. Luo Lixi walked out in a shiny purple nightgown. The man was wearing comfortable clothes made of cotton.
"I can't fall asleep." Sheng Ruming stared at the other person.
Luo Lixi also nodded her head, "Me too. Don't know why."
