Chương 9: Blocking Gu Shen From Being Seen
Biên tập viên: Henyee Translations
A few more people came in. Before Yan Xi could identify them, Luo Yun and Yan Dong greeted them with smiles.
It seemed like their social statuses were higher than his.
Yan Xi pouted and pushed Gu Shen to the side together with Gu Er.
She thought about that painting and still felt like her father didn't deserve the gift.
She poked Gu Shen's shoulder and he looked up at her.
"Is that painting real? Did you just give it to Yan Dong like that?" Yan Xi lowered her voice and whispered into Gu Shen's ear.
As she spoke, her hot breath blew into his ear, making him itchy.
"Since I've already given it away, there's no reason for me to take it back."
Yan Xi sighed heavily. She knew that her Executive husband was rich, but she could not help but feel bad about it.
That was Wu Tao-Tzu's authentic work! It was priceless. A pretentious old guy like Yan Dong didn't deserve it.
"Why didn't you talk to me about it beforehand?"
Gu Shen's expression changed. "You asked me to give this out."
"I…" Yan Xi was speechless.
The Host was really stupid. She thought that the painting could please Yan Dong, so she forced Gu Shen to give it out.
She muttered softly, "Then don't listen to me next time when it comes to spending money."
The spot where Gu Shen and Yan Xi stood was not very eye-catching, but the rest of the people still looked over either openly or secretly. They whispered a few more words with each other and then directly treated Gu Shen like he didn't exist.
Gu Shen was already used to this attitude, but Yan Xi got angry.
Was there something wrong with this group of people's brains? Why did they have to treat Gu Shen so brutally just because he was crippled?
She glared at them and was so angry that she wanted to sew their mouths shut.
Gu Shen looked at Yan Xi's expression and knew that she was going to be angry again. He wondered what pejorative words she would say this time. Trash or fool?
Unexpectedly, Yan Xi didn't say anything. She just stood up and blocked Gu Shen from everyone's line of sight.
She grumbled unhappily, "What's there to see!"
Gu Shen looked at Yan Xi quietly, his eyes filled with inexplicable emotions.
…
Gu Shen did not stay for long. When the phone rang again, he left with Gu Er first.
Before leaving, he looked at Yan Xi and gave her a reminder.
"The driver will pick you up later. Remember to call him if anything happens."
Yan Xi nodded obediently and asked, "Then, can I call you?"
"Suit yourself."
Yan Xi was very happy. After sending him away, she checked her phone and realized that she had not saved Gu Shen's number at all.
She walked back to the hall and immediately saw the Beef Wellington on the buffet table.
Golden crispy outer skin, rich stuffing, pink beef.
Every part of it was tempting Yan Xi.
"Cut me a piece of it."
The waiter swiftly cut the beef and placed it on the silver plate. After applying the sauce, he passed it to Yan Xi.
Yan Xi thanked him and took some toast and fruits from the dining table.
Whether it was in the Yan family or in this circle, Yan Xi was a peripheral character. Even if she left the banquet, no one would pay attention to her. She didn't want to stay here listening to their flattery, so she simply carried a plate of bread and beef to the pool in the backyard.
Yan Xi placed the plate on the table beside the pool and sat down.
The temperature of the steak was just right, but Yan Xi chose to eat the piece of toast beside her first. The bread was wrapped in sauce, and a rich fragrance filled her mouth.
Yan Xi was a little stunned and wanted to take another bite when a huge force pushed her from behind.
The fork cut her upper jaw and the taste of blood instantly filled her mouth.
