??Chapter 95: My husband is not clingy.
Chapter 95: My husband is not clingy.
“Could it be… that woman is you?”
ng Fan asked tentatively.
At that mont, Wen Zhi’s expression said it all. She was feeling guilty, even afraid to et ng Fan’s eyes.
“No way! The gossip I heard is actually about my bestie!??” ng Fan’s world collapsed for a re three seconds, then imdiately switched back to gossip mode, leaning in close and asking eagerly, “Who’s the guy?”
Wen Zhi hesitated, “He…”
ng Fan felt she definitely wouldn’t get what she wanted to hear from Wen Zhi, so she started guessing herself, “It can’t be Liang Yin, right?”
Wen Zhi: “…!”
ng Fan interpreted Wen Zhi’s expression at that mont as, “Did you two really hook up?”
Before Wen Zhi could say anything, ng Fan put up her thumbs, devilishly pressed them together, and wore a lewd expression that Wen Zhi didn’t even want to describe, “Did he corner you for a kiss?”
Wen Zhi’s expression was indescribable.
“Damn! Liang Yin that jerk, to succeed so quickly, it’s just too easy for him.” ng Fan felt outraged on Wen Zhi’s behalf, “He used to ignore you, and now when he finally looks into his heart and wants to win you back, you should make him wait, test him, let him taste the flavor of being kept at arm’s length. You’re just too soft-hearted, he advances and you surrender.”
First impressions.
Coupled with Wen Zhi’s lack of outright denial, ng Fan was even more convinced that the man who cornered Wen Zhi behind the greenery in the smoking area was Liang Yin!
Wen Zhi felt if she didn’t clarify things soon, ng Fan might really believe she had started dating Liang Yin.
She was about to speak when Liang Yin’s voice ca from behind—
“So you’re here.”
Wen Zhi turned to look at the approaching Liang Yin, “Were you looking for us?”
Standing before Wen Zhi, Liang Yin casually had one hand in his pocket, “To be precise, I was looking for you.”
“My my my, who cares.” ng Fan threw a cold look at Liang Yin, “I have a husband to find.”
Liang Yin looked around very seriously, “Then why don’t I see your husband coming for you?”
ng Fan answered him just as seriously, “My husband doesn’t cling.”
Liang Yin wanted to say sothing else, but Wen Zhi cut off their banter, “All right, all right, you’re not hungry, I am. Let’s go upstairs.”
After saying that, Wen Zhi took the lead.
Liang Yin made to follow, but ng Fan elbowed him out of the way, “You’re blocking the way.”
Liang Yin: “You—”
“What about ,” ng Fan turned and glared fiercely at Liang Yin, “There’s a process to everything, a gradual progression, you know? Our Zhizhi is soft-hearted and easy to talk to, but that’s no excuse for you to bully her!”
Liang Yin was confused, “Bully? When have I ever bullied her? ng Fan, aren’t you being too unreasonable? Let’s talk sense here.”
ng Fan scoffed, “Won are inherently unreasonable.”
With that, ng Fan flicked her long, curly hair back and walked away with flair.
Liang Yin was left feeling sowhat amused yet frustrated, but when he recalled what Shang Hexing had said to him earlier, the smile faded from his face.
…
Standing on the second floor looking down, Wen Zhi noted that there were quite a few guests that evening, with arrangents for roughly six tables, an auspicious number.
Her gaze picked out Shang Hexing among the guests. He was surrounded by elders, all spouting words of high praise for him.
He responded with an air of breezy confidence, his dashing appearance and restrained aura drawing the admiring glances of many young ladies.
“Don’t look anymore, Liang Yin has already co up,” ng Fan’s reminder ca from beside her.
However, Wen Zhi was srized by the silhouette of Shang Hexing, her mind filled with the image of him enveloping her in his embrace. She replied casually, “Got it.”
ng Fan sensed sothing was off, “Aren’t you watching Liang Yin?”
Wen Zhi, without blinking, kept her gaze fixed in the direction downstairs, “I never said I was watching Liang Yin.”
ng Fan turned Wen Zhi’s face toward her, “Then who are you watching?”
Although she turned Wen Zhi’s face, her eyes still looked downstairs. ng Fan had to let go and followed Wen Zhi’s gaze, curious to discover the truth.
Upon looking, she suddenly paused.
Wen Zhi paused as well.
“Eh, isn’t that Xie Weiyue?” ng Fan spoke first.
While speaking, ng Fan quickly nudged Wen Zhi’s arm, pointing in the direction and reminding her, “Zhizhi, look, that person is Xie Weiyue; she’s actually co to Lin City to attend Tan Lao’s birthday banquet.”
Wen Zhi saw her, and Xie Weiyue was dressed to the nines tonight, looking extraordinarily bright and luxurious.
In a light golden strapless gown, her hair piled high, revealing a fair and slender swan neck, she was spirited yet enchanting, and her every smile was especially captivating.
With Xie Weiyue’s appearance, guests downstairs frequently cast admiring glances her way.
“She is very beautiful,” Wen Zhi comnted, watching the elegant figure downstairs.
ng Fan, however, said, “She is beautiful, but not as beautiful as you, Zhizhi. You are the most beautiful one.”
Wen Zhi’s mind flashed back to Shang Hexing’s complint about her outfit tonight, he had said the sa thing—very beautiful.
But tonight, Xie Weiyue looked even more beautiful.
It seed Xie Weiyue had co for Shang Hexing as she walked straight towards him under the moonlike gaze of all the stars around her.
At that mont, Shang Hexing turned to look at Xie Weiyue.
They made eye contact, appearing to greet each other, and then laughed and talked. Xie Weiyue’s face was especially bright when she smiled, and as they conversed, her hand casually rested on Shang Hexing’s arm, which he did not avoid.
They made a handso couple, pleasing to the eye and well-matched, and they could freely engage in physical contact under everyone’s gaze.
Those who witnessed this scene could only think—what a perfect match.
Even Wen Zhi thought, “They are very well-matched.”
ng Fan only glanced briefly and did not watch for long; it was only after hearing Wen Zhi’s comnt that she looked again, asking, “Are you saying Uncle and Xie Weiyue are well-matched?”
Wen Zhi nodded, “Mhm.”
ng Fan was not fond of Xie Weiyue and shook her head, “So-so I guess. Can’t you tell? It’s all Xie Weiyue taking the initiative; Uncle is not accommodating her at all. He’s probably just staying out of politeness.”
Outsiders actually couldn’t tell; ng Fan was guessing based on intuition.
Wen Zhi shifted her gaze and said to ng Fan, “Aren’t they considered an official couple?”
“Not by ,” ng Fan declared clearly. “I rember coming across a netizen’s analysis of facial expressions at so point. If you keep your sches inside, you are ruthless; if they are written on your face, you are foolish. Xie Weiyue’s face, although it has sches written all over it, never made
feel she is foolish. Dealing with her always makes
uncomfortable.”
ng Fan only confided these thoughts to Wen Zhi.
She wouldn’t dare to say them to anyone else; the Xie Family was not so easy to provoke.
Wen Zhi brought up, “I t Xie Weiyue not long ago.”
ng Fan rembered, “Oh, the thing at Jin Dynasty Hotel, right? You ntioned it.”
The two were always sending WeChat ssages or calling each other. Wen Zhi would tell ng Fan about anything that happened either at Shang’s or outside.
