What was she running from? What are you feeling guilty about?

When they were eating, the two of them seemed to have already gotten themselves together.

When night came, she sent Le Le to sleep, then went back to her room to change.

Since she said those two words, it was just a small gathering of her friends, so she felt that she didn't need to dress up too heavily. She could just choose a little more than usual.

She walked around the cloakroom, and when she finally came out, she had already changed into a small white fish-tailed dress. Although it was a fishtail, it didn't have the usual length of a skirt, but rather a length that looked very suitable for her. The moment she got to her ankles, her exquisite ankles were faintly discernible under the silk-like fabric.

"Very good. It seems that you're in a good mood tonight." With a smile on his face, he slowly stood up and said to her.

She turned around and saw that he had also changed into a black suit. It was handmade and made to fit him perfectly. He gave off a low-key yet luxurious aura that made people feel that he was extraordinary.

She nodded, "You're not bad too. If you go out, you'll attract all the women at the banquet."

"So, that's what you think, why are you dressed so beautifully?" He walked up to her, picked up her long hair and sniffed at the tip of her nose.

"Yeah, that's why you have to look after me today." She twirled in front of him in her beautiful dress.

His eyes narrowed as he looked at her clothes that showed off her figure.

To tell the truth, the dress she was wearing right now wasn't that bold. At most, it was just a low cut on her chest. Even so, it only revealed a little bit of a gap.

But even so, when Si Lianye saw her disguise, she still felt a kind of indescribable depression. She had a feeling that since she was dressed so nicely, it was as if she was prepared to meet her lover.

"We should go." She looked at the time, picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

In the end, he was stopped.

"Wait!"

She turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"

He did not speak, but went into her cloakroom, and after a while came out with a red shawl in his hand.

"The wind is strong tonight, put this on to avoid catching a cold." He came up to her with his shawl.

She glanced at him, her eyes slipping from his face to the bright red shawl he held in his hand.

If she remembered correctly, he had bought the shawl when he was overseas, and she hadn't worn it once in the cloakroom, but he could still remember it.

"You have a good memory." She smiled at him.

He shrugged. "Thanks for the compliment." With that, he unfolded the shawl and personally draped it over her shoulders. Immediately, the red and white lights intertwined, adding to her beauty.

She took two steps back and looked at herself in the mirror. When she saw herself in the mirror, she nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad. I want to praise you. You have chosen this shawl very well."

He smiled and extended his arm to her. "Beautiful lady, please allow me to accompany you on the field."

"Of course, my dear sir." She put her hand in his.

No matter what they were thinking, on the surface, they looked like a match made in heaven.

This was the only thought in her mind when she arrived at her destination.

She intimately held his arm, and with an impeccable smile on her lips, she welcomed everyone.

"Ah, hello Mr …"

"Long time no see, Mr …"

"Mr is my daughter, she just returned from abroad …"

The group of people instantly surrounded them, and amongst them, the majority of the passionate people were looking for Si Lianye, while she only received a bit of attention.

Feeling a little stuffy, she said to him, "I'm going out for a walk. It's so stuffy here."

He looked at her, polite and distant in the face of such excessive enthusiasm, and told her, "Be careful, don't go too far."

"I know, don't worry." She waved her hand.

She chose a moment to walk out.

It was indeed just as Shangguan Zhe had said on the phone, a small banquet with only a few people.

Moreover, it seemed that she knew a lot of people at first glance. Regardless of whether she knew a person or not, there were at least a lot of people she had seen on the news.

Shangguan Family's face was not small after all, it could make so many people scramble to get it.

She thought to herself that if it was her before, she might still be interested in having a relationship with them. Now that she knew how much lifespan she had left, she had completely lost her interest in trying to flirt with those people.

She swept a glance through the hall, but didn't find any trace of Xiao Rou or Shangguan Zhe. She guessed that she had arrived a little early, and was thinking of sitting down on a chair to the side.

However, just as she was about to take a sip of her drink, she heard a voice from behind her, "Don't drink it. There's alcohol in there."

"What?" Startled, she quickly put the cup back.

Her body could not be willful. She could not try any food or drink containing alcohol, which was one of the foods the doctors had strictly forbidden her.

Naturally, she did not dare to joke around with her body.

She put down the cup and turned around, immediately seeing Shangguan Zhe dressed in an extremely high profile. The suit fit his handsome face perfectly and made him look like he could shine, attracting the gazes of the surrounding ladies.

It seemed like her guess was wrong, the man whom all the women fell in love with was not just Si Lianye, maybe Shangguan Zhe too.

She quickly thought in her heart, but her lips were already brimming with the smile of joy when she looked at her old friend. "I thought you weren't here yet."

He smiled as he approached her and said, "Before you drink anything, look carefully. Don't look at that glass of alcohol. It contains 15% alcohol." After saying that, he looked behind her and picked up a cup of dark blue beverage, "Drink this, don't look at its strange color, but the taste is not bad, it's a mixture of five kinds of fruit juice."

She took it and lightly said thank you. As expected, after taking a sip of the drink, she felt that the taste was very good. It was slightly sweet and dry, just right for the taste.

He looked at her and said, "Isn't that nice?"

"Yes, it tastes good." She placed the cup on her hand, looked at him and asked: "Where's Xiao Rou?"

Shangguan Zhe laughed and said: "She is dressing up, girls are always like this, there is always not enough time for makeup."

She nodded. "Of course, but it's about time."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Rou appeared behind a door.

She was wearing a sweet pink dress and looked like a very pretty and cute customer. There was a big smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was immersed in happiness.

It was just like how Shen Xiran and Shangguan Zhe's considerations previously were completely unnecessary.

She moved a little and looked at Shangguan Zhe, and said in a low voice: "Looks like I'm overthinking it." Looking at Xiao Rou's entire body, there were no signs of unhappiness at all.

Shangguan Zhe nodded, "Mn, looks like we're too nervous."

After all, Xiao Rou didn't know how to talk and couldn't keep up a good show. She quickly said a few words to her before she left.

She held the glass in her hand and looked at his back thoughtfully.

"What is it? "You can't bear to part with it?" A voice suddenly came from behind her.

She turned around in surprise and saw that he was already standing behind her.

"Si Lianye, can you listen to me better? What do you mean, unwilling to part with me? she said, looking at him unhappily.

"I'm sorry, but when I look at you, my thoughts become impure." He held a red wine cup in his hand. The moment he walked in, she could smell the strong aroma of wine.

She wrinkled her nose and took two steps back. "You drank?"

"Hmm? What's wrong? "You don't like it?" He looked down at her.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had not seen her drink much after knowing her for so long.

She shook her head. "No, it's not that I don't like her." She looked directly at him.

"Is that so?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I'll go to the washroom now." After saying that, he turned around and left, but after a few steps, he turned around again and warned her, "Stand still and don't move. Don't casually run away with others."

"You're the one who just ran off with someone." She was amused by his tone of voice.

Seeing his figure disappear behind the door, her gaze shifted once again to the front. Shangguan Zhe was giving a speech on top of that, something about thanking everyone for their love after so long. She muttered to herself, she did not expect that he would do the same.

Suddenly, a red shadow flashed in front of her eyes. Xiao Rou stood in front of her, with a big smile blossoming on her face as she looked at her — Big Sister, you're here.

Xiao Rou gestured excitedly with her hands, unable to conceal the joy on her face.

"Of course I will come. As for you, I noticed that you're quite busy. You just showed up now." With that said, Xiao Rou's face turned red.

She looked at her in amusement. "I say, why are you so thin-skinned? How are you going to be my wife in the future? Also, where's your son? Why haven't you seen him?"

Hearing her ask about Lin Zixuan, Xiao Rou's face broke into a big smile — — He's here, I accidentally drank too much wine just now, I let him rest at the back, if he wakes up, I'll bring him here.

"No, no need. Let him rest." After Shen Xiran finished speaking, he looked at her and sighed emotionally, "I never thought that you would actually marry him, it's really …"

Their love was as good as a fairy tale. Shen Xiran thought so himself.

Everything was so natural and logical. This might be the compensation the heavens were giving to Xiao Rou, she sighed in her heart.

Xiao Rou blushed, seeing that, he became mischievous and pulled her hand: "Come, tell me, how are you getting along with him? I heard you stayed with them for a while? So what about their family? Is it good for you? "

Her face turned red again. Just as she was about to speak up in hesitation, she heard a scream from somewhere behind her. It wasn't a loud cry, but there weren't many people around.

Shen Xiran's heart trembled, instinctively feeling that this was not a good thing.

Xiao Rou also looked over in a daze, and realized that the source of the scream came from the other tightly closed door.

Her expression suddenly changed.

Shen Xiran clearly felt her hands begin to tremble lightly at this moment.

She probed: "Xiao Rou?"

Xiao Rou's face was pale white, she smiled at Shen Xiran, but she could see from her smile that she was forcing her to.

What had happened?

Shen Xiran's heart suddenly had such a question, he still wanted to speak up, but Xiao Rou had already released her hand and anxiously walked forward.
