Chapter 362: Chapter 362: The Banquet
In the afternoon, Shi Yu drove back to the mansion.
As he went upstairs, Shen Cheng was in front of the mirror, straightening out the wrinkles on the hem of her gown.
Upon hearing the door open, she turned her head to look at him and casually asked, "What, are you not busy today?"
Shi Yu heard her voice and his gaze darkened, he coldly said: "Are you planning on going alone?"
Going alone?
It took Shen Cheng a while to understand what he meant.
This man was so straightforward with his words; he had taken time out of his busy schedule to accompany her to the gala, and she hadn’t shown any appreciation.
Even though she felt warmth in her heart, she said the opposite: "Actually, you don’t have to go... "
She wasn’t that worrisome that she needed to be watched over all the time.
"Dare to say that again?" Shi Yu suddenly strode towards her, a dangerous aura emanating from his deep-set eyes.
Seeing that he seemed to be angry, Shen Cheng took a slight step back, "Fine, isn’t it okay if I want you to go?"
Always threatening her!
Shi Yu then retracted some of his cold demeanor, gave her a glance, and turned away.
Watching his retreating figure, Shen Cheng’s brow gently furrowed.
In fact, it was already not easy for him to lower himself to attend such a minor gala.
Yet she deliberately provoked him; how could he not be angry?
Shi Yu went to the wardrobe, and Shen Cheng followed.
Watching as he elegantly removed his suit jacket and put on another piece of black clothing, she took out a pure black tie clip with gold inlay from the closet and pinned it on for him.
Dressed neatly, Shi Yu exuded an aura of noble restraint, his handsomeness was akin to a divine being.
Looking at him, Shen Cheng couldn’t help feeling envious.
Being a man is great, just a casual touch-up can make one look so handsome.
However... she seemed to be overlooking one issue.
It should only be him who could casually make any piece of clothing have the right texture.
The car left the mansion and quickly arrived at the site of the gala.
When the car stopped, Shi Yu got out first, then walked around the front of the car to the passenger side, reaching out to open the door.
He gently rested one hand on the door frame to prevent Shen Cheng from hitting her head, the other hand holding her delicate hand, guiding her down from the car.
Shen Cheng was wearing a pair of black flat shoes, with a striking row of diamonds embedded on the surface.
The diamonds weren’t too big, but they were exquisite, clearly valuable at first glance.
Shen Cheng didn’t usually wear high heels, and she avoided them even more after getting pregnant.
Although evening gowns and flat shoes weren’t the most perfect match, she exuded a different kind of charm in them.
Simple, with a touch of sexiness, her ethereal temperament made her instantly radiant.
After getting out of the car, Shi Yu embraced her closely, allowing her body to lean against his.
To outsiders, this was intimate and affectionate.
Shen Cheng looked up at him, signaling for him to let her go.
Only then did Shi Yu slightly loosen his grip, narrowing his cold eyes as he offered his arm to her.
Shen Cheng understood, smiled knowingly, and took his arm, as they both headed to the interior of the hotel.
At business galas like this, there were always various entertainment reporters outside getting shots.
Along the way, besides the crisscrossing flashes, there were the rapid clicks of the shutter.
Shen Cheng neither responded nor evaded; she was calm and composed, as if the people and events around her couldn’t affect her good mood.
Shi Yu glanced sideways and saw the constant smile on her face, which made him also lift the corners of his lips.
He decided not to pursue the matter of the messy media photography any further.
