What was she running from? What are you feeling guilty about?
When they were eating, the two of them seemed to have already gotten themselves together.
When night came, she sent Le Le to sleep, then went back to her room to change.
Since she said those two words, it was just a small gathering of her friends, so she felt that she didn't need to dress up too heavily. She could just choose a little more than usual.
She walked around the cloakroom, and when she finally came out, she had already changed into a small white fish-tailed dress. Although it was a fishtail, it didn't have the usual length of a skirt, but rather a length that looked very suitable for her. The moment she got to her ankles, her exquisite ankles were faintly discernible under the silk-like fabric.
”Very good. It seems that you're in a good mood tonight.” With a smile on his face, he slowly stood up and said to her.
She turned around and saw that he had also changed into a black suit. It was handmade and made to fit him perfectly. He gave off a low-key yet luxurious aura that made people feel that he was extraordinary.
She nodded, ”You're not bad too. If you go out, you'll attract all the women at the banquet.”
”So, that's what you think, why are you dressed so beautifully?” He walked up to her, picked up her long hair and sniffed at the tip of her nose.
”Yeah, that's why you have to look after me today.” She twirled in front of him in her beautiful dress.
His eyes narrowed as he looked at her clothes that showed off her figure.
To tell the truth, the dress she was wearing right now wasn't that bold. At most, it was just a low cut on her chest. Even so, it only revealed a little bit of a gap.
But even so, when Si Lianye saw her disguise, she still felt a kind of indescribable depression. She had a feeling that since she was dressed so nicely, it was as if she was prepared to meet her lover.
”We should go.” She looked at the time, picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
In the end, he was stopped.
”Wait!”
She turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression. ”What's wrong?”
He did not speak, but went into her cloakroom, and after a while came out with a red shawl in his hand.
”The wind is strong tonight, put this on to avoid catching a cold.” He came up to her with his shawl.
She glanced at him, her eyes slipping from his face to the bright red shawl he held in his hand.
If she remembered correctly, he had bought the shawl when he was overseas, and she hadn't worn it once in the cloakroom, but he could still remember it.
”You have a good memory.” She smiled at him.
He shrugged. ”Thanks for the compliment.” With that, he unfolded the shawl and personally draped it over her shoulders. Immediately, the red and white lights intertwined, adding to her beauty.
She took two steps back and looked at herself in the mirror. When she saw herself in the mirror, she nodded with satisfaction. ”Not bad. I want to praise you. You have chosen this shawl very well.”
He smiled and extended his arm to her. ”Beautiful lady, please allow me to accompany you on the field.”
”Of course, my dear sir.” She put her hand in his.
No matter what they were thinking, on the surface, they looked like a match made in heaven.
This was the only thought in her mind when she arrived at her destination.
She intimately held his arm, and with an impeccable smile on her lips, she welcomed everyone.
”Ah, hello Mr …”
”Long time no see, Mr …”
”Mr is my daughter, she just returned from abroad …”
The group of people instantly surrounded them, and amongst them, the majority of the passionate people were looking for Si Lianye, while she only received a bit of attention.
Feeling a little stuffy, she said to him, ”I'm going out for a walk. It's so stuffy here.”
He looked at her, polite and distant in the face of such excessive enthusiasm, and told her, ”Be careful, don't go too far.”
”I know, don't worry.” She waved her hand.
She chose a moment to walk out.
It was indeed just as Shangguan Zhe had said on the phone, a small banquet with only a few people.
Moreover, it seemed that she knew a lot of people at first glance. Regardless of whether she knew a person or not, there were at least a lot of people she had seen on the news.
Shangguan Family's face was not small after all, it could make so many people scramble to get it.
She thought to herself that if it was her before, she might still be interested in having a relationship with them. Now that she knew how much lifespan she had left, she had completely lost her interest in trying to flirt with those people.
She swept a glance through the hall, but didn't find any trace of Xiao Rou or Shangguan Zhe. She guessed that she had arrived a little early, and was thinking of sitting down on a chair to the side.
However, just as she was about to take a sip of her drink, she heard a voice from behind her, ”Don't drink it. There's alcohol in there.”
”What?” Startled, she quickly put the cup back.
Her body could not be willful. She could not try any food or drink containing alcohol, which was one of the foods the doctors had strictly forbidden her.
Naturally, she did not dare to joke around with her body.
