Shen Manting glared at Qin Yueshu warningly. To be honest, she didn't expect Xue Chenkong to be so well prepared. He had never been good at socializing and rarely went out. However, it was a society where people communicated with each other. A person who was out of touch with society had no future. But now...
Shen Manting couldn't help but look at the elegant man beside her.
Feeling her gaze, Xue Chenkong turned his head to meet her eyes. Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other.
The scene was captured by the surrounding people, and they were envious again. The affectionate gaze of a beautiful couple simply made others envious.
Ah Qiang smiled and took the gift. "Then we will accept the gift. Thank you, Mr. Chenkong and Manting. Let's go back to the room. "
Everyone naturally went back happily.
"Let's go too. " Qin Yueshu didn't think too much about it. Out of habit, she held Shen Manting's hand and walked with her. However, after taking a step, she realized that she wasn't pulling Shen Manting. She turned her head in confusion. Just as she was about to speak, she met Xue Chenkong's cold eyes. She was instantly stunned! Qin Yueshu wasn't stunned by his handsomeness. She felt as if a poisonous snake had wrapped itself around her throat, and her breathing became difficult. Her hands trembled, and she quickly let go of Xue Chenkong's hand. Her face was pale, and she was obviously frightened.
Shen Manting looked at Qin Yueshu helplessly. "You go in first, " she said.
"Okay. " Qin Yueshu was so scared that she turned around and ran. The man was too scary. She wanted to go home.
Seeing that her good friend had been frightened by Xue Chenkong, Shen Manting looked at him unhappily. However, considering that there were so many people around, she did not say anything. She knew what Xue Chenkong was angry about. He was just unhappy because Qin Yueshu had held her hand earlier.
"Ah Ting... " Xue Chenkong lowered his head and whispered in her ear, his tone pained.
Shen Manting was stunned for a moment. She thought that he would immediately take her hand after driving Qin Yueshu away. In the end, he just whispered something in her ear and left? Shen Manting frowned and looked at his hands, which were hanging by his sides. He kept rubbing them uneasily, like an uneasy child. Were those the hands that he had just shaken Ah Qiang's with? She knew that he had a serious obsession with cleanliness, but when she saw his expression not change as he shook hands with Ah Qiang, she thought that he was not that serious about cleanliness now. In the end, he was holding it in...
At the thought of that, Shen Manting's eyes became filled with pity. She quickly walked over and held his hand.
Xue Chenkong's body stiffened. He subconsciously pushed Shen Manting's hand away. "Dirty. "
His voice was so soft that Shen Manting almost thought she had heard him wrong. How could it be dirty? However, Shen Manting didn't let go of him. Instead, she held his hand very tightly, intertwining her fingers with his to prevent him from escaping.
Xue Chenkong felt as if his hands were being bitten by ants. Suddenly, a pair of warm little hands reached out and pulled him out of hell, soothing his restless Heart. The next second, he held Shen Manting's hand and wrapped her hand in his warm palm.
Shen Manting tilted her head and looked at his handsome face. "Chenkong, thank you, " she said in a soft voice. "You did great just now. "
Xue Chenkong's thin lips parted slightly. "As long as you like it. "
The look in his eyes was like a huge whirlpool, drowning her in it. Shen Manting was embarrassed by his gaze and quickly turned her head.
Qi Jingwan had been following behind the two of them the entire time, so she naturally saw everything. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. As expected, he was just pretending to have recovered from his illness. She remembered that people with mental illness couldn't drink alcohol. She would think of a way to make him drink later. If she could make him go crazy in public, that would be the best. At that time, she would see what Shen Manting could do.
"Ding Rou, we'll keep toasting Xue Chenkong later. We must get him drunk, " Qi Jingwan said in a low voice. However, after she finished speaking, she realized that Ding Rou had completely ignored her. She glared at Ding Rou angrily, only to realize that Ding Rou had been staring at Xue Chenkong, the admiration and jealousy in her eyes overflowing...
Qi Jingwan sneered. "Mr. Chenkong isn't just handsome. His family background isn't ordinary either. Any woman who has the slightest connection with him will be able to live a life without having to worry about life. "
Hearing that, Ding Rou was excited. However, she suddenly thought of something and sighed. "It's a pity that all good men belong to others. "
Qi Jingwan laughed coldly in her heart, musing, "She should look in the mirror. Fish-like eyes, big mouth, and a flat nose... Looks aside, her family background is also poor. Why would a man like Xue Chenkong fall for her? But she's useful in disgusting Shen Manting. "
