Chapter 488 is just too pretentious.
"How have you been lately?" Rong Shu asked.
David said, "Nothing has changed. I'm still doing the same thing as before."
Rong Shu gave a faint "hmm" and didn't ask any further questions.
Let's chat for a bit.
When hanging up the phone.
David said, "See you tonight?"
Rong Shu was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
David said, "Sheng Tingchen hasn't told you yet that there's a banquet tonight."
Rong Shu: "I don't know."
David smiled and said, "He'll definitely bring you."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu didn't call to ask.
She stayed in her apartment to rest today, and around 4 p.m. she received a text message that she could board the plane at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
My subconscious thought was to check my ID card and passport.
At this time.
The butler approached and said respectfully, "Madam, the dress that the master prepared for you has arrived."
Because of what David just said, Rong Shu is not surprised, but she doesn't want to attend any banquet.
She dialed Sheng Tingchen's number directly. When he answered, a gentle, magnetic voice came through the phone, "Feed."
Rong Shu said, "I'm not feeling well, you go to the banquet by yourself."
Sheng Tingchen asked with concern, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
He doesn't know what he did last night.
She wasn't feeling that bad now, but she didn't want to move.
Rong Shu took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, you go by yourself. I want to rest."
That's all.
She then hung up the phone.
Upon hearing Rong Shu's words, the butler turned and left.
It was six o'clock in the evening.
Rong Shu was having dinner, gazing at the distant scenery outside the window.
Sheng Tingchen returned to his apartment, dressed in a black suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His short hair was styled in a slicked-back look, making his deep-set features even more striking.
He was clearly going to a banquet.
As the man approached, Rong Shu asked, "Aren't you going to a banquet?"
Sheng Tingchen sat down beside the woman, naturally putting his arm around her waist. He parted his thin lips slightly and asked, "Have you finished eating?"
How could Rong Shu not understand the hidden meaning in the man's words? She frowned, remained silent, and continued eating the steak in her bowl.
Sheng Tingchen wasn't in a hurry; he just waited for her to eat.
"Give me a piece," he suddenly said.
Rong Shu glanced at him sideways, but before she could react, the man had already grabbed her wrist and lowered his head to eat the beef she was holding with her knife and fork.
He doesn't care if he eats it.
Anyway, she can't eat anymore.
She continued eating slowly, chewing each bite of beef dozens of times.
Sheng Tingchen sat to the side, waiting patiently, his eyes fixed on her.
Finally, Rong Shu couldn't hold back any longer and said irritably, "Are you that free right now?"
Sheng Tingchen's thin lips curved slightly as he said, "It's alright, there's still time to wait for you to eat. Would you like the chef to prepare another serving?"
He said that on purpose.
Rong Shu put down her knife and fork, stood up and said, "I'm going to rest."
She had just turned and left.
The man hugged her from behind, saying, "You need to digest your food after eating; it's good for your health."
Rong Shu took a deep breath and said seriously, "Sheng Tingchen, I said I don't want to go."
Sheng Tingchen said, "I promised to bring my wife along, and I can't go back on my word, otherwise people will think I'm lying."
"..."
Fifteen minutes later.
Rong Shu sat down in front of the dressing table and mirror.
The makeup artist who came today didn't leave. She styled her hair, putting all her long hair up in a bun and adding pearl hair accessories. She also gave her a light and airy evening makeup look that suited her perfectly, matching her blue fitted long dress. A sapphire necklace around her neck sparkled brilliantly, making her look incredibly elegant.
After tidying up.
Rong Shu left the room.
Sheng Tingchen was waiting outside. When he saw the woman come out, his eyes fell directly on her without any attempt to avoid looking at her. Rong Shu met the man's gaze for a moment, but then looked away.
He stepped forward, a smile curving his lips, and said, "Very beautiful."
Rong Shu did not respond to his praise.
The man took a ring box from his suit pocket, took out a diamond ring, took the woman's hand, and put it on her right ring finger.
He was already wearing a diamond ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
"I know you have a temper, so I just wore the ring myself."
Rong Shu raised her eyes and glared at him. "You do have some self-awareness."
Sheng Tingchen smiled and said, "They're really hard to coax."
Rong Shu ignored her.
"Let's go."
Sheng Tingchen led the woman out of the apartment.
Take the elevator downstairs.
The Rolls-Royce was parked downstairs early and waiting.
Sheng Tingchen helped the woman into the car, while a staff member adjusted her skirt.
Half an hour later.
The vehicle arrived at the hotel where the banquet was being held.
Get out of the car.
Sheng Tingchen led her inside.
The banquet hall was extremely luxurious, filled with elegant attire and a decadent atmosphere. The rich aroma of wine permeated the air, making even the air itself seem intoxicating.
Rong Shu didn't really like attending these kinds of banquets.
Sheng Tingchen noticed that she wasn't in high spirits, so he squeezed her hand and said, "We won't stay too long. We'll head back around the same time."
Rong Shu looked up at him and gave a soft "hmm".
"Tingchen, Evelynn, you've arrived."
David walked towards them with a wine glass in his hand, dressed as extravagantly as ever. His casual attire, open collar, thin platinum necklace, and gemstone rings on his long fingers made him look incredibly wealthy.
Of course, only he can pull off this style.
David stood in front of the two, looking them up and down. His gaze swept over the man's hand holding the woman's, and then he said to Rong Shu, "Evelynn, you are still so beautiful and charming."
Rong Shu smiled gently, "You're just as beautiful."
David, "Looking good is too superficial. Can't you use a different adjective? For example, when you praise a man, shouldn't you say he's handsome, dashing, or incredibly good-looking..."
Sheng Tingchen interrupted without hesitation, saying, "Go back and read more books to improve your brain."
David stared at him, displeased, and said, "What do you mean? You think you're so great? What good is being handsome? Look at you, Evelynn has lost so much weight next to you, how dare you say that to me?"
When I first saw Evelynn, she looked noticeably thinner compared to the last time I saw her.
Sheng Tingchen looked at him but did not respond.
David said to Rong Shu, "Has Evelynn been abusing you? Let me tell you, a woman should never wrong herself, and she should never submit to him."
"Evelynn, let me tell you, we need to teach him a lesson first, put his arrogance to the test, and then see how he performs before considering whether to accept him. Otherwise, this guy will only become more arrogant, and what if he gets upset later and dumps you again?"
The man beside him visibly darkened, and his voice grew harsher as he said, "David, you talk too much."
David, on the other hand, was not afraid at all. He felt good watching David get the short end of the stick. This guy was such a show-off.
"What! I was just giving Evelynn some advice, why are you so angry? Do you think I'm right, that you're really going to dump Evelynn later?"
