The most important part of the engagement ceremony was the dance party. After Ji Suifeng and Shen Yan danced the first dance, more and more young people joined the dance floor and had a great time.
In the lounge on the second floor, Mr. and Mrs. Shen and Mr. and Mrs. Ji were sitting together. After a round of arguments, their faces were as dark as water. Shen Xingqi, the second son of the Shen family, stood leaning against the window as if it had nothing to do with him, looking at the dance floor with interest. situation.
Among the gentle and low-key colors, a red dress is hot and dazzling, with a flowing hem and ripples everywhere.
The dance had only started for twenty minutes, and Mu Qian had already changed five dance partners, but there were still many men standing near or far away, waiting to dance with the beautiful lady.
The door was pushed open and Ji Suifeng and Shen Yan walked in. Father Shen immediately picked up the tea cup and threw it at Ji Suifeng's feet.
Shen Xingqi turned around after hearing this movement.
The parents of the two families argued again for a while, but the parties concerned, Shen Yan and Ji Suifeng, remained silent. One had a stiff face, and the other frowned and smoked.
Until the door of the lounge was pushed open again, and the bridesmaid Gu Panpan appeared at the door panting.
Shen Yan looked at her expressionlessly, "Where have you been?"
"I...I was locked in the toilet, and I finally came out." Gu Panpan was frightened by the atmosphere in the room, "Did something happen?"
Shen Yan just sneered and then looked at Shen Xingqi.
Shen Xingqi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, don't keep a dark face on this big day. That Mu Qian...just leave it to me."
After finishing his words, Ji Suifeng suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a gloomy expression.
Shen Xingqi had turned his head and looked back into the banquet hall.
The dance floor was still lively and lively, but it was just a little less popular.

Beyond the hustle and bustle, the open-air garden at the end of the corridor is peaceful and tranquil.
Mu Qian was leaning at the entrance of the garden, holding a slender women's cigarette between her fingers but not lighting it.
But she was neither impatient nor impatient, tapping the toes of her shoes lightly on the marble floor, waiting quietly.
Not long after, a slender man in a neat suit walked out of the restroom not far away.
"Sir." Mu Qian called softly. When the man turned around, she raised the cigarette in her hand and said, "Can I borrow a light?"
The night wind passed through the hall, and she was wearing a red dress and leaning against the wind, with the hem of her skirt fluttering and her brows enchanting.
The man stood there for a moment, then turned around and walked towards her step by step.
Only then did Mu Qian gradually see him clearly. He was in his mid-thirties, tall and thin, wearing an elegant black suit and black thin-rimmed glasses. His skin was very white, his eyebrows were slender and gentle, and he was elegant and elegant.
Seeing him, the words came to Mu Qian's mind: A humble gentleman, as gentle as jade.
"It turns out to be Mr. Lin." She said with a smile and a soft tone.
Lin Su didn't seem surprised that she recognized him, he just smiled slightly, his eyes uninterested.
After all, there are a few people in Tongcheng who don't know a wealthy businessman like him.
There was a "ding" sound, and blue flames jumped between his fingers.
Mu Qian tilted her head slightly and lit the cigarette, took a deep breath and watched the tobacco burn slowly. Then she raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her, raised her red lips and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."
"You're welcome." Lin Su's voice was calm and his eyes were calm. After saying that, he put away the lighter and turned around to leave.
Mu Qian suddenly grabbed his sleeve, then wrapped her arms around him, looking at him intimately and smiling.
Lin Su couldn't help but be surprised. He raised his eyes to look at her, but there was no boredom in his eyes.
Mu Qian's eyes only fell behind him.
Lin Su turned around and looked, and at the other end of the corridor, Shen Xingqi was walking towards this direction with two people.
Seeing Lin Su standing with Mu Qian, Shen Xingqi was also quite surprised, but the smile on his face was still there, "I asked why you can't see Mr. Lin in the banquet hall. It turns out you came here to get some fresh air."
Lin Su was gentle and polite, "Second Young Master Shen is looking for me?"
Shen Xingqi glanced at Mu Qian who was standing behind him and said with a smile: "That's right, I want to have a drink with you!"
Before Lin Su could answer, Mu Qian had already tightened her grip on him slightly, frowning coquettishly, "Mr. Lin said he wanted to send me home, so I can't drink anymore."
Lin Su turned his head and looked at her for a moment, seemed to have some understanding, smiled and nodded.
Lin Su then said goodbye to Shen Xingqi and slowly left with Mu Qian in his arm.
"This Lin Su... isn't it said that he has not been close to women since his wife died?" A person behind Shen Xingqi said.
Shen Xingqi was holding a cigarette in his mouth, staring at the two figures who were gradually moving away. The corner of his mouth was still smiling, but his eyebrows were particularly deep, "It depends on the woman's ability..."
…
Mu Qian held Lin Su's arm and walked all the way to the hotel entrance, looking back several times intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Su walked steadily, stared ahead calmly, and said calmly: "It's still early, and the dance isn't over yet. Are you sure Miss Mu wants to leave?"
After hearing this, Mu Qian sighed softly and looked down at her feet.
As soon as he moved a little bit, the skinned wound on his heel started to hurt terribly.
"Even if I'm unwilling to do so, I can't dance the whole dance wearing a pair of shoes that don't fit my feet."
Lin Su followed her line of sight and said slowly: "Since the shoes don't fit, just throw them away earlier. Why torture yourself."
After listening to this, Mu Qian laughed out loud after a moment of silence, "Wouldn't that give them an advantage? The more uncomfortable they make me, the more I have to step on them, as long as I can step on them."
Lin Su listened and said nothing for a while.
Mu Qian turned her head and looked at him, "A gentle gentleman like Mr. Lin will naturally not understand a woman's mentality of retribution."
Hearing this, Lin Su curled her lips slightly.
When they got into the car, Lin Su whispered something to the driver. After a while, the driver took a pair of soft cotton slippers from the trunk and handed them to Lin Su.
Lin Su put the soft slippers at Mu Qian's feet, "Let's put them on first."
Mu Qian lowered her head to look at the slippers for a moment, and then looked at Lin Su again, her eyes shining brightly, "Mr. Lin, you are so considerate and considerate when we first met, so you are not afraid that I will have evil intentions and follow the rod." ?"
"When we first met, Miss Mu trusted me so much and even got into my car. Aren't you afraid that I have evil intentions?" Lin Su asked back.
Mu Qian laughed out loud, "I'm not afraid. Mr. Lin is called a Confucian businessman by the media. A man who can be a gentleman in the business world, how can he have trouble with a little woman like me?"
Lin Su still just smiled, "Ms. Mu is too flattering."
"Just call me Mu Qian." She bent down to change her shoes, "Anyway, Mr. Lin helped me a lot today. I will definitely treat Mr. Lin to dinner some other day to express my gratitude."
Lin Su sat there quietly, looking at her still graceful body curves when she bent over.
"I wonder what day it will be?" Lin Su suddenly said.
Mu Qian had just changed her shoes and couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Lin Su's words. Then she raised her eyes and looked at Lin Su, "Will Mr. Lin give me a favor tomorrow?"

Mu Qian returned to her rented place, and as soon as she opened the door, her friend Ye Xi stepped forward and grabbed her hand.
Mu Qian was frightened, "You scared me."
"Are you okay?" Ye Xi looked her up and down, her clear eyes full of worry, "Those Shen family members are not easy to deal with. I was so afraid that you wouldn't be able to escape unscathed! Is everything going well?"
Mu Qian smiled and patted her face, "Don't worry, it's going well."
"Who sent you back?"
Mu Qian looked at the soft cotton slippers she had changed into, her eyes clear, and she said slowly: "Lin Su."
Ye Xi couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, "Are you really... going to get close to Lin Su?"
"I'm close." Mu Qian raised his eyes to look at her, with a charming smile on his face again, "Besides, this is the purpose of my coming back this time, isn't it?"
