Chapter 66 She's now terrifyingly jealous.
The Xia family is considered one of the top wealthy families in Beijing, and their daughter's birthday banquet was held like a welcome party for a top celebrity.
Yu Nanqing sighed a little, for this was the first time she had attended such a large banquet.
Xia Yan is Xia Yue's older sister. This banquet was also ostensibly to find fiancés for the two sisters, so as soon as she entered, Xia Yan disappeared into the crowd.
Yu Nanqing looked somewhat bewildered, clutching the gift box in her hand. She glanced around the hall and then found a quiet spot to sit.
"Tsk, what a chicken trying to become a phoenix."
Not long after I sat down, I heard a somewhat familiar voice beside me.
Yu Nanqing paused, holding the cup, and stepped back, allowing Yu Guangneng to see the woman beside him clearly.
Upon confirming that it was indeed Sophia, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a strange sense of familiarity.
The other person was wearing a light pink bodycon dress, kicked the table in front of her, and stared straight at the two people holding hands not far away.
Yu Nanqing followed her gaze and almost spat out her drink.
Sure enough, wherever Sophia was, Chen Qing was sure to be there too.
However, judging from Chen Qing's talkative manner, it seems that Shen Mochen really didn't make a move against him back then.
She reached over, took a small cake, and ate a couple of bites, a strange feeling welling up inside her.
Shen Mochen must have been furious at that time.
He was such a possessive person, yet he insisted on watching her get closer and closer to other men, and couldn't do anything about it.
If it were her, she would be furious too.
She used to be really bad, I don't know how Shen Mochen could tolerate her.
Sophie Ma kept muttering her resentment. At first, Yu Nanqing could listen to a few of her words, but later she was completely distracted, eating her small cakes and thinking about how to pack a few for Shen Mochen.
It tastes really good, I wonder if the chef can take it away.
After sitting for a short while, Xia Yue came downstairs in a formal dress, the same one that Yu Nanqing had accompanied Xia Yan to buy earlier.
She is indeed very beautiful, making her look like a little princess.
"I heard that Young Master Shen has also come."
"real or fake?"
"Isn't that normal? The two of them are childhood sweethearts. Everyone knows that Xia Yue likes Young Master Shen. She's always around him and practically clings to him."
"Young Master Shen might also be interested in Xia Yue. I've never seen him give any woman a kind look before."
The crowd was dense, and the whispers of conversation reached her ears unintentionally. Yu Nanqing raised her eyes, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Shen Mochen is here too?
She glanced around, but saw no one. She raised her eyebrows slightly, then lowered her eyes and sent a message to Shen Mochen.
Before she could get a reply, someone pushed their way in and spilled a glass of wine on her sky-blue fishtail dress.
The sequins at the hem of the skirt shimmered, stained with patches of red wine.
Her fair face was filled with panic and confusion, and the blush from her ears gradually spread to her cheeks. At first glance, she looked just like a little mermaid who had mistakenly wandered into the human world.
Chen Qing was somewhat dazed. He only came back to his senses when someone called him, but his eyes couldn't help but keep looking at the woman's departing figure.
Yu Nanqing followed the sales assistant into the dressing room. She casually picked out a dress to change into, then handed the dress she had taken off to the sales assistant and asked her to dry clean it, saying, "Thank you."
The other party said they would be there in twenty minutes, and Yu Nanqing nodded and simply sat on the small balcony at the end of the corridor to wait.
The message sent to Shen Mochen went unanswered for a long time.
She let out a soft breath, her mind involuntarily drifting back to the discussion between the two people in the hall earlier.
To be honest, she didn't know how Shen Mochen had been doing these past two years.
Even though she believed that Shen Mochen and Xia Yue would not have a relationship beyond friendship, she couldn't help but feel jealous when people talked about it.
She didn't know if she had caught Shen Mochen's jealousy, but she felt that she was now terribly jealous.
She couldn't stand him being nice to other women.
The posts all say that men like understanding women and don't want their partners to be too controlling or suspicious all the time.
Therefore, she has to control herself.
She deleted all the questions she had sent out. Her thoughts were in disarray. She put down her phone and turned her head to let the wind blow into her head.
"Miss Yu."
The moment her eyes slowly closed, a gentle voice suddenly reached her ears.
Yu Nanqing was slightly taken aback, turned her head to look, and saw that it was Chen Qing. Her heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "Hmm? Is something the matter?"
As she spoke, she picked up her phone, intending to give a few perfunctory words and leave.
She didn't intend to deal with Chen Qing, fearing she might get involved in some unnecessary conflict.
"Your brooch was left in the lobby just now." Chen Qing smiled slightly at the wariness on her face, placed the item on the table, and maintained a polite and distant demeanor.
Yu Nanqing glanced down at the butterfly brooch on the table, her uneasy heart settling down. "Thank you."
After saying that, she picked up the brooch on the table and walked outside.
Chen Qing's favorability is easy to increase; she hadn't spent much effort getting him to include her in the friend list before, so it's best for her to avoid him if possible.
The system puffed out its cheeks, hesitated again and again, and finally didn't say anything. The main reason why Chen Qing's favorability value increased so quickly was actually the insulting text messages that Shen Mochen sent.
Yu Nanqing did not receive a reply from Shen Mochen until the end of the birthday party.
My heart was completely still and utterly cold.
She took a breath, gripped her bag tightly, and kicked a small stone by the roadside.
She had changed back into that blue fishtail dress, the fitted style of which accentuated her figure beautifully.
Standing by the roadside, he attracted a lot of attention.
Xia Yan brought her here, but Xia Yan is probably busy comforting her younger sister and doesn't have time to take her back.
It's hard to get a taxi here. She tried to book one online for ages but couldn't. She could only hope for a stroke of luck and see if someone would be kind enough to give her a ride.
She was probably having a bad day; not a single kind person came to see her off until the crowd dispersed.
She sighed, flipped through the map, and found a bus stop a kilometer away. She could walk there, take a short ride, and then hail a taxi when she reached a convenient spot.
Her feet are probably going to suffer from those high heels she's wearing today.
"Miss Yu."
Fortunately, just as she was about to take a step, someone called out to her from the roadside.
However, the person who called out to her was Chen Qing, whom she wanted to avoid.
“Miss Yu, it’s hard to get a taxi around here. Shall I give you a ride?” Chen Qing turned his head to look at her, his eyes gentle.
Yu Nanqing pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, glanced down at the screen where no message had been replied to yet, and finally reached out her hand.
Just as she was about to open the car door, her waist was suddenly wrapped around her. She was startled, and a familiar voice sounded in her ear, "Where are you going with him, sweetie?"
Yu Nanqing was taken aback, her eyes suddenly reddening. Her eyelashes drooped slightly. "Mr. Chen, no need, you can go now."
After the car drove away, she looked up, a tear rolling down her cheek. Just as it was about to fall uncontrollably, it was stopped by the clear, blood-red handprint on Shen Mochen's face.
