When Jing Miao rudely shook off his hand, He Liushu didn't get angry. He just sat silently on the huge retro sofa, leaned back steadily, and stared at where he stood with his amber eyes slightly squinted.
Jing Miao still doesn’t give up
"Don't waste your efforts"
He Liushu's voice was cool
Jing Miao took a deep breath to calm down the anger rising in her heart, then turned around and stared at He Liushu angrily.
"Why did you get up to the second floor?"
Since the focus of the banquet is on the first floor and the second floor is deserted, why would He Liushu, a guest, come here for no reason?
Jing Miao felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong.
Now she only hopes that this door is locked by someone playing a prank.
He Liushu's eyes were deep, staring at the woman standing there in the distance with an alert and defensive look on her face. She was dressed particularly beautifully today. It seemed that after marrying into the Xiu family, she gradually gained some charm that she did not have in her youthful years.
That is the unique charm of a married woman, especially when it is rare to see her dressed up like this. Except for that time at Xiuyu's wedding ceremony, as the bride, she wore a fishtail white wedding dress.
In the past, he had always resented Jing Miao for leaving without saying goodbye. When he could resist the pressure at home, at the most difficult time, she actually completely disappeared from the school where they met and left many beautiful memories.
So after they met again, he would do whatever it took to take advantage of her, and he would not give up even if he tried his best to occupy her.
By the time he understood the reason, it was already too late
For some people, as soon as they turn around and say goodbye, it has been a lifetime. Even if they see each other again, they will never return to the same person and the pure feelings they had.
He doesn't want to admit this helpless frustration
If Jing Miao married an ordinary man, he might still have a chance to get her back. But Jing Miao married Xiu Yu, his good friend and the Huangfu family that the He family still relies on.
He had already lost. When he compromised back then, he had already lost to Jing Miao. It was just that he didn't want to think about it. Losing to others, losing to someone better than him, was better than admitting that he was not good enough.
"Do you think it's meaningful to say this now?"
A sneer appeared on He Liushu's lips. It was obvious that someone had specifically given the two of them a chance to be alone together.
Jing Miao's chest was so tight that she suddenly regretted that she had put her phone in her handbag and not taken it with her, so now she could only be trapped here, waiting for people to pass by and rescue them.
Jing Miao didn't want to ask He Liushu to call someone to rescue him.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and suddenly there was a voice outside the door.
Jing Miao was overjoyed and was about to knock on the door to call for help. He Liushu appeared behind her silently, raised his hand to cover Jing Miao's lips, and pulled her further away from the door.
The voices were getting closer and closer. It seemed that there was more than one person. One of them seemed to be the voice of my mother-in-law Huangfu Qingyuan.
Jing Miao's eyes widened as she was suddenly controlled. What did this man want to do? Is he crazy? She didn't want to stay with him anymore!
"Don't move! Do you want so many people to find out that the second daughter-in-law of the Xiu family is alone in a room with other men?"
Jing Miao froze instantly, not even daring to breathe loudly
The voice was approaching the door. Her mother-in-law Huangfu Qingyuan's voice was so close to the door that Jing Miao seemed to feel that she was standing just a door away and smelled the fragrant perfume emanating from the door.
"It's okay. You go down and do your work first. I can just go in and change my clothes."
"Mom, I'm so sorry. There are so many guests here today. These servants are too busy and careless. I will send someone a new set of clothes immediately. You can sit in this lounge for a while, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li.
, please all of you please sit down in the lounge and get ready, I will invite you to go down."
Lan Miao's voice is modest and polite, with just the right amount of enthusiasm
The door handle was turned once from the outside, and then moved a few more times. The person who opened the door found that he could not open the door, and asked in surprise, "Hey, why can't the door of the lounge be opened?"
"Is the door broken?"
"No, this door was just replaced last week."
"Could there be someone inside?"
Jing Miao couldn't help but step back, staring at the door, and then looked at He Liushu who was silent next to him in surprise.
She finally understood now that if the door was opened and she and He Liushu were found alone in a locked lounge, there was no telling what the people outside would think!
What people say is scary!
Today was her first time attending an event as the Xiu family's daughter-in-law. In front of her mother-in-law Huangfu Qingyuan, something like this happened, which damaged the Xiu family's face.
She could hardly imagine the consequences!
At this moment, Jing Miao had the illusion that she was back in that spacious gymnasium. Her privacy was maliciously exposed to others. Facing the various colored eyes of everyone, rumors were like thousands of arrows, sharp and hurtful.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Is there anyone in there?"
"Is anyone in there?"
"Open the door!"
The continuous knocks on the door seemed to hit her heart intensively. She panicked and looked at He Liushu next to her helplessly and resentfully.
He lowered his eyes, his face was calm, as if he was deaf to those close knocks on the door.
They were all men. If he hadn't gone crazy and came to this room, how could she have to face such a dilemma!
"The people inside refuse to open the door. If anyone comes, please ask the housekeeper to come and open the door. I want to see who is so brave and dares not to open the door!"
Lan Miao, who was outside the door, ordered coldly.
