"It's fine, I didn't get hit. Besides, even though I'm pregnant, I'm not that fragile. There's no need for you to be careful all the time." Xian Guiying looked at Qin Gengxin with a smile, then turned her gaze to Yu Daiyu. Looking at her dress, she smiled kindly and said, "You're here to attend this company party too, aren't you? I don't think I've seen you before."
This was Wei Zhengsheng's sweetheart, Xian Guiying. The legendary former president of Xian Corporation, whom she had only seen in business magazines, was now standing right in front of her. More than that, Xian Guiying didn't seem as cold and arrogant as in the rumors. Instead, she was very kind and full of smiles.
"She's definitely a new face." Seeing that Xian Guiying was fine, Qin Gengxin looked at the girl in front of him and said with a smile.
"Sorry, I left in too much of a hurry and almost ran into you." Yu Daiyu smiled embarrassedly, then hesitated, not sure whether to leave or return to the party.
Just as she hesitated, Xian Guiying suddenly looked over her shoulder and said cheerfully, "Zhengsheng!"
Yu Daiyu turned around and took a step back when she saw Wei Zhengsheng walking towards her. As Wei Zhengsheng walked, he glanced at Yu Daiyu and she gave him a dry smile.
Her dry smile was noticed by Xian Guiying. Xian Guiying looked at Yu Daiyu and then looked at Wei Zhengsheng who was walking over. There was an inexplicable smile in her eyes.
"Why did you come here?" Wei Zhengsheng looked at Xian Guiying and asked her casually. "Since you're pregnant, you shouldn't come to a party like this. Your body won't be able to handle a social event that lasts this long."
Qin Gengxin directly put his arm around Xian Guiying's shoulder and looked at Wei Zhengsheng with a smile. "With me here, nothing will happen to Guiying. She's been taking care of Qianqian at home all day, so I want to take her out to rest and get some fresh air."
Qin Gengxin then brought his face closer to Xian Guiying's and said, "Isn't that so, my wife?"
Xian Guiying obviously knew that Qin Gengxin was doing this on purpose. He had always been hostile to Wei Zhengsheng. When their relationship was in danger, she almost married Wei Zhengsheng, and Qin Gengxin always hated this, but out of respect for her face, he didn't make his stance clear.
Xian Guiying smiled helplessly but didn't push him away.
Wei Zhengsheng was used to it. He just looked at Qin Gengxin and smiled politely. He pursed his lips slightly and his expression returned to normal.
And to everyone's surprise, Yu Daiyu, who was standing next to Wei Zhengsheng, saw how much Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin loved each other and thought of how Wei Zhengsheng had been suffering in silence lately. She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. With a rather generous hand, she reached out and hugged Wei Zhengsheng's arm and then clinging to him, said lovingly, "Zhengsheng, I'm hungry. I want to eat a snack, come with me."
Wei Zhengsheng was a little surprised by her quick change of mood. Xian Guiying who saw this scene, smiled at Qin Gengxin.
Qin Gengxin raised his eyebrow and looked at the fearless girl in front of him with admiration. Who could not tell that this girl was acting on her own initiative? Now it depended on whether Wei Zhengsheng would give her face or not.
This kind of mind-boggling drama...
Wei Zhengsheng frowned slightly, but he did not expose her. As Yu Daiyu dragged him to the snack table, he did not resist. Before leaving, he nodded to Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin and then was dragged away by Yu Daiyu.
"This Wei Zhengsheng is starting to have romantic luck." Qin Gengxin whistled.
Xian Guiying suddenly slapped his chest. "A man as good as Zhengsheng always has many fans. I have been putting his life on hold for years, and finally, there is a girl who dares to protect him openly. Didn't you see the look in her eyes earlier? Obviously, she was not happy with your petty and bullying behavior."
"When did I bully him? This is called love, understand?"
"This is not love, but possessiveness."
"Possessiveness is love! Love is possessive!" Qin Gengxin once again hugged Xian Guiying's shoulder. "Anyway, you are mine for the rest of your life, and our marriage has already been arranged. It's too late for you to go back on your promise. As you can see, that young lady is clearly not someone to be trifled with. Her whole body is covered with thorns."
"Some have thorns on their bodies, but this girl has no thorns on her body at all. I just hope that Zhengsheng would not end up breaking her heart." Xian Guiying said sincerely.
On the other side, Yu Daiyu was dragging Wei Zhengsheng to the snack table while glancing at Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin from time to time. She didn't know what they were talking about, but she felt that Wei Zhengsheng had been bullied.
Wei Zhengsheng suddenly pulled his arm from Yu Daiyu's grasp. She stopped and looked at him with a surprised expression. "Pre-"
Wei Zhengsheng looked at her. "When did you know?"
Yu Daiyu froze. She suddenly became serious and afraid that Wei Zhengsheng would find out that she had been rummaging through his things in his apartment. "I'm just looking at your eyes and your movements, President Wei. I can feel it."
Wei Zhengsheng obviously didn't believe her. He said indifferently. "You don't have to do all this. Some things can be left out when dealing with related people. Running away is the stupidest way. Also, Yu Daiyu, I don't need you to interfere in my affairs."
I don't need you to interfere in my affairs.
Before this, Yu Daiyu might not have known what kind of person Wei Zhengsheng was, but now she did.
She had a special passion for helping someone in their grief, but in the end, Wei Zhengsheng pushed her away and scolded her for meddling in his affairs.
Yu Daiyu suddenly laughed and raised her head to look at him. "Then I'm just being nosy. I'm really sorry, President Wei."
With that, Yu Daiyu rolled her eyes and walked away, towards An Ha who was talking to the crowd.
Wei Zhengsheng stood where he was and took a sip of his wine before slowly turning to look at Yu Daiyu. It wasn't that he didn't know that his words just now were very hurtful, but he really didn't need her to use such a method to prove anything.
"Uncle An." Yu Daiyu didn't greet Yu Haitao, nor did she pay attention to Wei Zhengsheng. Instead, she went to An Ha's side, smiled, and said, "I don't feel well, so I'm going home early. I hope you won't get mad at me for this."
An Ha immediately pulled her aside and whispered, "Girl, tell uncle the truth. What is your relationship with Wei Zhengsheng? Is he just your boss? Or are you two..."
Yu Daiyu smiled. "Just the boss."
"Really? Then your father just told me that you two..."
"That was just my father's wishful thinking. You can see for yourself the difference in age between me and President Wei. I am only twenty-three years old, and he is already thirty-four years old. If I call him uncle, it is not an exaggeration. So how can we have a relationship?" Yu Daiyu smiled, and in the blink of an eye, she saw Wei Zhengsheng walking towards her.
Thinking about what he had said earlier, Yu Daiyu really didn't feel like dealing with him anymore. But Wei Zhengsheng was her superior and she came here with him. So she had to give him some face.
Yu Daiyu smiled and took the glass on the table next to her. She gave a toast to him. "President Wei, I already told Vice President An that I have to go home early. I had to leave you here alone. I'm really sorry."
It wasn't that Wei Zhengsheng couldn't tell that Yu Daiyu was angry with him; even so, he still didn't say anything. He only returned the toast to her but did not drink the wine in his glass.
