Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Having Such a Domineering Husband Isn’t So Bad
The reporters holding cameras were somewhat flattered and began whispering to each other.
Shen Cheng was well aware that Shi Yu’s appearance at the cocktail party, given his identity and status in Jiang City, would cause a significant stir.
The organizers clearly did not expect Shi Yu to truly accept their invitation and show up at the cocktail party.
The person who sent the invitation came up eagerly, wanting to shake hands with Shi Yu.
But Shi Yu only gave him a cold glance and had no intention of shaking hands with him.
Seeing the impatience on his face, the man withdrew his hand reluctantly and cordially invited them to go to the inner chamber.
By the time they entered, the cocktail party had already started and there were many people in the inner chamber.
Shi Yu, as always, maintained an air of haughtiness, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Wherever he passed, the crowd automatically parted to make way for him.
Shen Cheng enjoyed the privilege of the crowd clearing a path for them, suddenly feeling that having such a domineering husband was rather nice.
The venue was filled with socialites, with glasses clinking under the glamorous effect of lights reflecting off the drinks.
Shi Yu kept his arm around Shen Cheng’s shoulder the whole time, protecting her very well.
Shen Cheng maintained a calm and composed demeanor, not showing any signs of nervousness, and every move she made was nobly detached.
Misses from families with good relationships each took a glass of beverage or wine from the servers’ trays, gathering in groups of three or five to chat.
In reality, what they were discussing among themselves was nothing more than which family’s young master was more handsome or wealthier.
And a man like Shi Yu, who naturally shines wherever he goes, could not avoid being the subject of discussion.
A wealthy heiress said to her companion in a low voice filled with surprise: "Mr. Shi is here today?"
Even though this heiress had seen her fair share of grand events, one could not blame her for being so surprised, as Shi Yu seldom attended cocktail parties, which were few and far between.
Another socialite beside her was impressed by her obliviousness: "You just noticed? With such a grand entrance, who else could it be but him?"
The heiress said enviously, "And that lady next to him, is she Young Madam Shi?"
The socialite seemed proud of her greater knowledge: "Of course."
Several other socialites joined the discussion, their voices not without envy: "Standing next to Mr. Shi, that aura is just different."
Someone else rebutted objectively: "It’s not because she stands beside Mr. Shi that she has an aura, but rather, because she possesses such aura, she’s qualified to stand beside Mr. Shi."
The socialite who spoke before fell silent, as everyone knew this statement was true.
Throughout the entire cocktail party, Shi Yu stayed within two meters of Shen Cheng, not letting her stray far.
In the meantime, various prominent figures came to offer toasts, and of course, they didn’t miss the opportunity for flattery. Shi Yu didn’t buy into anyone’s act, showing a cold demeanor to anyone who spoke to him.
Throughout the entire event, only one person managed to elicit a reaction from him.
A real estate tycoon, who needed Shi Yu’s help for a project, realized that flattering Shi Yu was useless, so he turned to Shen Cheng and said, "Young Madam Shi is truly generous and elegant, outshining everyone!"
At that, Shi Yu finally showed a reaction, looking at the person before him, "Hm?"
It was then that the man realized he had spoken out of turn, and after muttering a few embarrassed pleasantries, he scurried away.
Shen Cheng sighed internally, knowing that the man was bound to face many obstacles in his future career.
