C30

Along the way, Shen Moxi's face was still gloomy. Naturally, Cheng Tian Painting could not be bothered to pay attention to him and turned on his phone to read today's news.

The party was held at the Starmoon Hotel, and as the car pulled up at Starmoon's entrance, Cheng looked ahead at the richly decorated hotel doors, and a heat wave began to rise over her little face, blushing her cheeks.

It was at this hotel that she and Shen Muxi had begun …

She tilted her head and stole a glance at Shen Mushi, just in time to meet his mocking gaze.

"What is it? The memories are still fresh? " Shen Mushi was very small in his revenge for his recent dress.

"Boring!" Cheng Tian Hua opened his seat belt and got out of the car. He then quickly walked inside the hotel.

As she rarely wore such high shoes and walked so fast, she almost fell to the ground. Happiness Shen Muxi quickly caught her body and pulled her into his arms.

"Qualities …" Shen Moxi whispered these two words into her ear.

Remembering LILY's instructions, Cheng slowed down his pace and took his hands in the crook of Shen Mouxi's arms as an elegant and beautiful companion.

The banquet hall was on the second floor. There was a spiral staircase outside the window leading to the garden on the first floor. The entire venue looked spacious and grand. By the time Shen Moxi and Cheng Tian had entered, a large number of men and women had already gathered at the venue.

The guests were all rich and powerful nobles, and since the host was a government department, most of the invitees were not absent.

Cheng Tian imitated Shen Mouxi as he lifted a glass of red wine from the waiter's hand. She looked around, her eyes consciously searching for a figure. As she expected, Lin Yuan and Feng Jing indeed attended tonight's banquet together. At this moment, they were holding hands and happily conversing with a middle-aged man.

Not only did she see Lin Yuan and Feng Jing, she also saw Lin Ting, the one who had wanted to whip her to death. She was holding onto a gentle looking young man, smiling sweetly, looking very cute.

Cheng Tian Painting consciously searched for Lin Yuan's figure, not because he missed him, but because he wanted to find their position and avoid meeting with them. Especially Lin Ting, if she saw that he was attending the banquet with Shen Moxi, she would probably go crazy with anger, right?

While she was still in a daze, Cheng Tian Painting felt a hot wind blow towards her ears. She was shocked and turned around to find Shen Moxi looking at her with a displeased expression.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"This is Vice Mayor Lin's wife, she's greeting you right now." Shen Muxi pointed at the fat middle-aged woman opposite him with a slight smile.

Cheng Tian Painting hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Madam Lin."

"Hello, the dress is beautiful." The mayor's wife glanced at her with a stiff smile. After saying that, she brushed past the two of them. It was obvious that she was displeased with her earlier words.

After the mayor's wife left, the smile that was originally hanging on Shen Muxi's face instantly disappeared. He hugged Cheng Tian's waist and squeezed hard, then coldly whispered into her ear, "Now is not the time to break all ties with my ex-husband. Pay attention."

Cheng Tian Painting's face turned red, and just as he was about to explain himself, he was interrupted by Gu Zi Hao, who was walking towards him.

"Little Painting, when did you arrive? I was just about to call you. " He walked over with a smile and frowned when he saw the light blue dress she was wearing. "It's blue again, darling. Isn't that annoying? Young Master Mu? "

Her gaze shifted to Shen Mushi's face.

Shen Moxi turned her head and glanced at Cheng Tian Painting. Did she only like blue? He really didn't know why she was so insistent on asking for the dress.

He turned around and sized Shen Moxi up, using his small hands to grab hold of his tie before warning him, "Young Master Mu, Little Painting is my best friend. If you dare to bully her, I'll be the first to not forgive you, remember?"

"Got it." Shen Moxi answered with a dark face.

"I better remember." She loosened her fingers and let him go.

Cheng Tian Painted looked at the dark side of Shen Muxi's face, using his eyes to signal for him to stop.

Would Shen Moxi listen to her, Miss Shi? Don't be naive!

Gu Zi Hao, who was standing beside Shen Moxi and Cheng Tian Painting, smiled as he looked at them, "My dear, don't worry. Young Master Mu 'really loves' his wife. He definitely won't let her suffer any grievances." He specifically emphasized the words' love, love, love '. His smile was filled with ridicule.

Only Shen Moxi and Cheng Tian could understand the mystery behind it.

Cheng Tian Hua pretended to smile foolishly as he thought to himself, "Why did this man do such a thing?" Was he doing this to Shen Mushui or to her? It would be best if he didn't have to be anyone, this strange and dangerous man!

She stole a glance at Shen Mushi and saw that the smile on his face was as fake as if he was wearing a mask. "Of course, I love anything that belongs to me, so don't even think about taking it away from me," she said.

As he said this, he tightened his arms around her waist and deliberately tightened his arms around her.

Cheng Tian Painting finally felt the tension between the two men. However, she did not understand what kind of love and hate existed between the two of them. Even if she did know, it was not her place to care, right? Thus, continuing to play dumb was the most sensible decision at the moment.

Fortunately, a new member had joined them. It was Ye Nance who had smelled the scent of gunpowder from far away. He smiled and said to the two of them, "You two are early. Why don't you go to the VIP room and have a drink?" He then glanced at the two girls beside him and praised, "Beautiful women are as numerous as the clouds tonight, especially the two in front of me."

"Good eye." He gave Ye Nantian a thumbs up and smiled at him charmingly.

While the men were talking about the shopping mall and the finance industry, Cheng Tiantan dragged his intentions to a corner of the banquet hall. He pointed at Gu Zi Hao with his chin and said in a low voice, "Are you still dating him?"

"Of course, I mean it." He took a sip of the juice.

"Then do you know that he's serious?"

"If you weren't serious, you wouldn't have brought me to the party, right?" He pointed at himself with a smile, "Look at the million yuan worth of clothing. If it wasn't for the fact that you're serious about it, would you have spent this kind of money?"

It's only a few million …

Cheng Tian was speechless, really wanted to tell her that Gu Zi Hao's breakup fee with another woman was a Bugatti sports car.

"But I always felt that you were in danger."

"You're here again." He couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You've said this many times already. I'm tired of hearing it too. Come, come with me to the bathroom!"

After doing that, he walked towards the bathroom. Due to the fact that his movements were too fast, Cheng Tian Hua lost his balance due to her, and his body fell onto a man's body.

Cheng Tian Hua thought he would fall down miserably, but he didn't expect his body to be held firmly in the crook of his arm, followed by the familiar smell of a male coming from his nose.

Lin Yuan, even without raising her head she could tell it was him, this man was too familiar to her.

"I'm sorry." She tried to pull away from his arms, but his arms were as tight as steel, holding her in place.

Cheng Tian Painting was taken aback. Raising his head, what met his eyes was a gaze as deep as a well.

She hadn't seen such a gaze in Lin Yuan's eyes for three years, so why did it appear to her today, when she was already married?

Did he regret it in less than two months? No, how could he regret it? Feng Jing, who was wearing a loose skirt, was standing by his side, carrying his two sons.

"Yuan, let's hurry over." Feng Jing glanced at Cheng Tian painting with an ugly expression and pulled Lin Yuan's other arm.

However, Lin Yuan only moved his arm and did not let go.

"Let go!" Cheng Tian Hua angrily scolded him.

Although her and Lin Yuan's movements did not cause much commotion, the crowd was not small at all. Lin Ting, who kept pestering Shen Moxi, even brought Shen Moxi to watch the show.

Shen Mouxi's handsome face was taut for the umpteenth time tonight.

"Cousin, I remember …" It seems like you brought this woman here, right? " Lin Ting looked at Cheng Tian Painting who was being held in Lin Yuan's arms, her face full of ridicule, "You've already been divorced from my brother for so long, and my brother already has a wife and child. How shameless are you to be pestering him like this."

"I didn't bring her." Shen Moxi coldly tossed down those words before turning around and walking out of the crowd.

"Aiya, if I drag it to death, I'll give up on it if my skirt is torn!" Xing Yi impatiently squatted behind Cheng Tian Hua, one hand holding Cheng Tian Hua's skirt by the waist, the other grabbing onto Lin Yuan's cuff links on the skirt and pulling forcefully, but he still did not pull away.

It turned out that the cuff links were hooked onto the skirt. The few well-meaning ladies who were spectating turned around and left. Cheng Tian Hua was also surprised. He turned his head to look at his own waist, but could not see anything.

"Speaking of which, the quality of your dress is pretty good. You spent quite a bit of money on it, right?" He deliberately pulled and muttered, "Looks like I'll have to bring a pair of scissors."

"Waiter, please bring me a pair of scissors." He gave a wave to a passing waiter.

Soon, the waiter brought the scissors over.

"Let me do it." Lin Yuan took the scissors and changed his position to squat at Cheng Tian Painting's feet, carefully cutting off the buckle from his sleeve. Instead of cutting Cheng Tian's skirt, he chose to cut his own cuffs.

"Go to the bathroom and take off your dress." Lin Yuan put the scissors back into the waiter's hands and adjusted the cuff of his missing piece of fabric.

He looked at the cufflinks hanging from Cheng Tian's waist, then looked at Lin Yuan's handsome face that did not care, and said in a mocking tone, "Young Master Lin, you don't have to be so sacrificial. It's just a dress, how could Shen Moxi afford to buy it?"

"You can't walk around a banquet in a dress with a hole in it even if you can afford it, can you?" Lin Yuan retorted.

"Let's go." Chengtian pulled over his intentions of going crazy and walked towards the bathroom.

"Disgusting stinking man!" Before he left, he did not forget to give this sentence to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan, on the other hand, acted like a gentleman, not even changing his expression. On the other hand, Feng Jing and Lin Ting were stomping on the ground in anger.

In the washroom, it took him a long time to remove the cuff links from Cheng Tian's dress. He threw the button on the sink and said disdainfully, "From this cuff links, we can see that the Lin family will definitely close down and go into bankruptcy. The dignified CEO of the Lin family, wearing such inferior cuffs to attract attention from others!"

The sleeve buckle rolled in a circle on the sink and stopped alone in the corner.

The cufflinks were indeed inexpensive and the style was not new, but … However, the more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed to her. She reached out to pick up the cuff links and started flipping through them between her fingers.

That year when she first entered Arne, she received her first salary. In order to express her gratitude, she asked to bring back the pair of cufflinks from Japan.

Although the material used to make this pair of cuff links wasn't worth much, the design on it was extremely symbolic. Furthermore, the price wasn't cheap at all for her at that time.

It was just that she did not understand why Lin Yuan did not throw it away and instead wore it to attend tonight's banquet.

Lin Yuan had many cufflinks, gold and silver, diamond and jade... Everything was there, so why did he wear it all by himself?

"What?" You're still reluctant to part with his things? Do you think that you have any potential in Cheng Tian painting? " Just as she was fixing up her makeup, she discovered that she was reluctant to part with Lin Yuan's cuff links, so she glared at her in annoyance.

Cheng Tian Painting handed over the cuff links in his hand to her. "Yi, don't you feel that this cuff link is a little familiar?"

After listening to her question, he took the cuff links and started flipping through them. Raising his head, he stared at her. "I don't think so."

"It was bought for me from Japan for Lin Yuan."

"Ah …" He once again turned over the cuff links, and nodded his head: "From what you said, it does seem to be the pair that I bought for you."

"What do you think Lin Yuan means?" Cheng Tian painting was speechless.

"What's the point?" After throwing the cuff links back into her hands, she continued to fix her makeup in the mirror, while saying, "I can't remember if I bought the cuff links myself, much less that heartless guy Lin Yuan. He's just in a hurry to attend the banquet, casually taking a pair of cuff links from the accessory case. Or perhaps that slut Feng Jing thinks that these pair of cufflinks are quite unique, and personally buckles them on Lin Yuan's clothes. "

Kindness turned his head and looked at the startled Cheng Tian Painting. "Kid, you don't think that Lin Yuan still has feelings for you, and just wants to put on the cufflinks you gave him, right?"

"How is this possible?" Cheng Tian painting sneered.

Lin Yuan had no feelings for her for a long time, so how could he have feelings for the pair of sleeves she gave him?

With so many cufflinks, how could Lin Yuan remember where each pair came from? It must have been like what Feng Jing said, picking it out of the jewelry box when he was in a hurry, or Feng Jing had helped him put it on.

"It would be best if you didn't think of it that way. Otherwise, I will look down on you." After tidying up his bag, he said, "Let's go out."
