"Nanxiao, it's an honor to have you here." Old Master Li smiled lovingly. He was a famous philanthropist in North City. His shiny white hair made him look like a sage.
A young woman stood beside Old Master Li. She looked quite elegant, especially her almond-shaped eyes, which looked as gentle as the spring breeze.
"Old Master Li, you must be joking." Shen Nanxiao's tone was a little distant. He didn't like Old Master Li's way of doing things.
He was called a philanthropist, but he allowed his son to become an out-and-out profiteer.
"Su Wan, this is the son of Mr. Shen's family, Shen Nanxiao," Old Master Li said to the young woman beside him.
This introduction made them sound very intimate, but the Shen family and the Li family didn't have much interaction. Shen Nanxiao only came to show Old Master Li respect.
This woman was called Li Suwan. She was Old Master Li's granddaughter and was also the most sought after socialite in North City.
"Hello, Brother Nanxiao." Li Suwan's behavior was elegant, and her voice was even more melodious than a lark's.
However, Liu Qi felt threatened. She subconsciously put her arm around Shen Nanxiao's arm and said very politely, "Hello, Old Master Li. I'm Shen Nanxiao's fiancée, Liu Qi."
"Oh, hello." When Old Master Li heard Liu Qi's self-introduction, the smile on his face clearly dimmed.
He didn't expect Shen Nanxiao to bring Liu Qi here. After all, he held this banquet today to find a husband for his granddaughter.
Shen Nanxiao was naturally the first choice.
Seeing Old Master Li's attitude, Liu Qi felt that Old Master Li didn't like her.
"Miss Liu, nice to meet you." Li Suwan still greeted Liu Qi.
At this moment, a new guest came to greet Old Master Li.
Seeing that Old Master Li still had guests to entertain, Shen Nanxiao nodded to Old Master Li and then left with Liu Qi.
Li Suwan's big watery eyes stared at Shen Nanxiao's back and she felt an indescribable sense of anguish in her heart.
Everyone knew that Liu Qi wasn't satisfied with the engagement. Why did she suddenly seem to approve of it?
After entertaining these few guests, Old Master Li looked at Li Suwan and said with an experienced smile. "Are you envious? There are some things that you have to fight for yourself. If you don't fight for it, how do you know if you have a chance?"
After hearing this, Li Suwan smiled and said, "I understand, grandfather."
She was just a fiancée, not his wife. Moreover, Liu Qi didn't love Shen Nanxiao at all, so she still had a chance.
..
"Shen Nanxiao, why do I feel so strange?" Liu Qi felt inexplicably angry, but she didn't know why.
"What?"
The man sounded like he knew the answer to the question.
Liu Qi pursed her lips and didn't intend to pay attention to the man. She picked up the small cake at the side and took a bite. She chewed carefully. There were mango slices in it.
At this moment, Li Suwan walked up to Shen Nanxiao with a glass of champagne in her hand. "Mr. Shen, may I have the honor of having a drink with you?"
"Miss Li, you're too polite." Shen Nanxiao took a glass of wine.
Although Shen Nanxiao's expression had always been indifferent, Li Suwan really liked aloof men.
He was unlike other people. When they saw her, they couldn't help but smile.
Seeing her man being accosted, Liu Qi was instantly a little unhappy. However, she didn't say anything. She picked up a small mango cake and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
Out of sight, out of mind.
However, this small cake was really delicious.
After a long time, Li Suwan was still talking to Shen Nanxiao. Liu Qi kept feeling that Li Suwan was coveting her man. She glanced at Shen Nanxiao from the corner of her eyes.
Her meaning was: please stop your philandering behavior!
Shen Nanxiao found Liu Qi's reaction funny. This wasn't an important party, especially after he found out Old Master Li's intentions.
Shen Nanxiao pulled Liu Qi over and said, "My wife isn't feeling well, so we'll take our leave first."
"Huh?" Liu Qi, who was chewing the cake in her mouth, looked at the man quizzically.
She didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Okay." Li Suwan didn't know what to say.
Before she left, Liu Qi didn't forget to take another cake. She took a bite in the car and realized that it was apple-flavored. She didn't like it very much.
"Shen Nanxiao, here you go." Liu Qi stuffed the cake directly into the man's mouth.
After seeing the little girl take a bite of the cake, Shen Nanxiao said expressionlessly, "I don't like sweet food."
"Oh ~" Liu Qi put the small cake in her mouth again and ate it in one bite.
Eating sweet food made her so happy that her small feet would shake when she ate it.
"Shen Nanxiao, let me tell you something." Liu Qi stopped shaking her legs and looked at the man very seriously.
"Yes, go ahead."
Liu Qi said with a smile, "Let's get married."
"What?"
Liu Qi stopped smiling and said seriously, "Let's get married."
The man didn't do anything but looked at her coldly, making Liu Qi feel a little unnerved.
She was afraid that Shen Nanxiao would reject her, so she thought to herself, "Say something." .
The man said after a long time, "Okay."
Liu Qi heaved a sigh of relief and smiled brightly. She took the initiative to kiss the man on the cheek and said, "Then you will be my man from now on."
As for why she had the idea of getting married today, she felt that Shen Nanxiao was too popular with women.
However, this decision was very important.
Liu Qi nestled in the man's embrace and said, "Then after I finish filming, we'll get married, okay?"
"Okay."
..
North City, Central Hospital.
Nangong Shu's condition was obviously much better. At least the bandage on his hand had been removed. He received a call from his father, Nangong Cheng.
"I've settled this matter for you. You better behave yourself!" Nangong Cheng was still as furious as before.
In Nangong Shu's impression, his father had never been gentle to him. Although he had never hit him, he had the same bad habit as his mother. They liked to yell at him.
"Okay, I got it." Nangong Shu was already very impatient. He even wanted to hang up the phone.
"Okay, that's it. Hang up now! You brat..."
Beep!
Before Nangong Cheng could finish his sentence, Nangong Shu hung up the phone and put it on the small cabinet.
He didn't want to listen to that nonsense at all.
Qi Qi pursed her lips and said, "Vice president, Liu Yue doesn't seem to have any intention of renewing her contract with Roland."
"Ha, she found another agency? Tell her to get lost." Nangong Shu sneered, but he didn't lose his temper.
It seemed that Nangong Shu's character had improved a lot after he was beaten up.
"Vice president, are you letting Liu Yue go?" Qi Qi was obviously a little surprised. Why would Nangong Shu grant someone else's wish? It didn't seem like his way of doing things.
Nangong Shu raised his eyes and stared at Qi Qi. His gaze was gloomy. "I said get lost, not leave!"
"Yes, I understand. I'll make the arrangements right away." Qi Qi said as she left the ward. She had a good relationship with Liu Yue, so she had reminded Liu Yue many times.
However, since Liu Yue had no intention of renewing the contract, it wasn't her fault for being merciless.
