Chapter 727
“Shen Shu, I owe you a proposal seven years ago, is it too late to make up for it?”
I was a little surprised, my heart was naturally touched and warm, I couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you already married?”
“You can propose even if you’re married, can you only do something romantic once? Besides, a proposal is such a needed ritual for a girl.” These words were spoken by Mo Fei Lin.
She stood to the side and said in a loud voice, “Fu Shen Yan, our high and cold big president, hasn’t heard you say those three important words you, aren’t you going to say them now?”
The man’s eyebrows are clear, handsome, four eyes facing each other, in the crowd I blushed a little and reached for the ring.
I didn’t want my hand to be pulled by him, and he put the ring on my hand, his gaze warm, “Shen Shu, for the rest of my life, I’ll be with you.”
I didn’t say I love you, but I’ll stay with you, it seemed more relevant to life.
I smiled lightly and reached out to pull him up.
Mo Fei Lin thought we were too bland and nagged, “Why do you two act like you’ve been married for decades, you don’t have any passion, at least say something nice?”
I laughed, “It’s a long story, love isn’t that dramatic.”
Love is in the silent details, and I saw Ivana standing beside Mo Zhi Zhan looking at me with her eyes a little red.
I froze slightly, suddenly remembering that phone call where she said, “Shen Shu, it’s mum!”
The word mother was so rusty in my memory that if I didn’t think back carefully, I would almost forget that everyone has a mother.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing me suddenly wander off, Fu Shen Yan reached out and took me into his arms.
“Nothing!”
As the sky grew darker and the wedding ceremony finished, the dinner at the hotel began.
It seems that Mo Fei Lin had arranged the hiccup just now, and I seem to like it better than the blaze.
The wedding was a grand affair and the people who came were all famous and noble, so there were quite a lot of people at the dinner, greeting each other and toasting.
The incident just now made a lot of people curious about my identity, several scandals, Fu Shenyan protected my ** as much as possible.
At a dinner party like this, where the Mo family and Fu Shen Yan’s eyes are on me, it’s inevitable that I’ll find someone else’s attention.
There were flashes of limelight at the party, directed at me and Fu Shen Yan, and I subconsciously bowed my head.
The man’s low voice came to my ears, “Nervous?”
It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t nervous, but I was able to remain calm, “There are a lot of people.”
He smiled lightly, “Mo’s banquets are always crowded, don’t worry, you’ll have to face it.”
I nodded, my hand was pulled by him and someone came up to greet me, a mouthful of Miss Shen.
I held a smile, and half the time I came down, my face was much stiffer.
Through the crowd and situated at the table, full of exquisite and delicate delicacies.
At the table for sixteen, Mo Fei Lin had to look after the guests, and both Ivana Lin and Mo Zhi Zhi were busy.
Beside me sat the old man Mu, whom I had just seen in the hall, and Shen Changlin was also there, seeing me and Fu Shenyan sitting down.
Shen Changlin beckoned towards me and said, “Girl, come here.”
I was not good at socialising and subconsciously looked up at Fu Shen Yan, who patted my hand and smiled lightly, “Don’t worry, it’s fine!”
Walking over to Shen Changlin, he gestured for me to sit down and looked to Master Mu, “Master, let me introduce to you, this is my daughter, Shen Shu!”
Master Mu nodded, smiled and said, “I’ve seen this little girl just now, Mo said she was the daughter of the Mo family, how come she’s your daughter now?”
Shen Changlin laughed, “It’s fate, this girl and I hit it off, so I’ve adopted her as my daughter.”
“Oh oh!” Elder Mu nodded his head and laughed, “This girl is lucky.”
Everyone laughed out loud for a moment, and I contained a smile, but did not laugh out loud.
What I understood by good fortune was a lifetime of peace and health and a long and healthy life, could I be considered good-tempered like this?
Chapter 728
“Shen Shu, come with me to the hotel later to change your clothes, they’re too hard to get into.” Mo Fei Lin leaned over and spoke in my ear.
It looked like she had finished her toast, so she was ready to change, I nodded, it just so happened that it was inconvenient for me to wear these clothes.
After greeting a few old people, Mofilin and I went upstairs and in the lift, I was a bit lost in thought.
Seeing me dazed, she hemmed and hawed, “What are you thinking about?”
I shook my head, “Nothing!”
In the hotel room, having changed, she flopped down on the bed exhausted and complained, “I swear, I’ll only get married once in my life, it’s so exhausting.”
I pursed my lips and looked down at my phone a little too distracted.
I waited until Mofilin called me several times before I came back to my senses and looked at her a little confused, “What’s wrong?”
She wrinkled her eyebrows, “No, I should be asking you what’s wrong? You’ve been staring at me since we got into the lift, what were you thinking?”
“Can you do me a favour?” I spoke looking over at her.
“What?”
“My grandmother left me a sandalwood box that she left with Grandpa Fu, and when he left, he gave it to me, but I didn’t keep it and it was lost by Fu Shen Yan. I’ll ask Ivana if the box is still there.”
She looked at me and hesitated for a moment, “Why are you suddenly thinking about the box?”
“It just came to me.” There were some things that it wasn’t time to talk to Mo Fei Lin about.
When she saw that I wouldn’t speak, she didn’t force me, she just spoke, “Okay, I’ll go to Mo’s house and look for it.”
With her agreement, I got up and went to Shea, seeing that it was getting late.
The four seasons were still at the villa, so I had to go back.
When I went downstairs, Fu Shen Yan was not there, so I found a seat and waited for him to come back, then prepared to go back.
The man’s body was as long and slender as jade and stood out in the crowd.
I waved in his direction, got up and walked towards him, and before I could say anything, he said, “Have you eaten?”
I had forgotten, I think I had just been taken upstairs by Mofilin without having eaten anything.
“I’m not hungry!” After a pause, I was just about to speak up and suggest going back.
I didn’t want him to pull me back to sit at the table and chuck quite a few dishes to me.
Someone came up to offer a toast of greetings, and as I was originally thinking of driving, I couldn’t help but say, “Can I drink when I drive later?”
He drained his glass and spoke in a low, introspective voice, “There’s a driver!”
Then he drank it all down without refusing.
I lowered my eyes and ate the food in the bowl, actually having no appetite left.
Seeing me staring at the bowl of food, he spoke, “Not hungry?”
I nodded and thought for a moment, “Mofilin brought me some sweets and said to take them back for the four seasons.”
He nodded, “Yeah, kids shouldn’t eat too much, it’s not good for their health.”
“Is everything alright with Auntie?” After a few fusses, Fu Qingyin seemed to have quieted down, rather like she was accepting.
“En, quite good!” Someone came up to offer him a toast, and he responded with a light smile, still drinking it down.
Seeing me looking at him, he smiled lightly and handed me the glass of water in front of him, “Have some water.”
I flinched slightly and raised my hand to take it, not wanting him to say, “Forget it, don’t force yourself if you don’t want to drink.”
I pursed my lips and could see that he wasn’t in a good mood, not since I’d come downstairs.
“I’m more or less tired after a long day of tossing and turning, let’s go back!” There was a lot going on at the office, I knew that, he had been busy these days, and he could have not come to the wedding today, but because of me, he came.
Reaching out to take his hand, the man’s fingertips were long and bony and slightly cold.
When I took his hand, he was slightly stunned, but smiled, “No problem.”
The words were thick with the smell of alcohol, he had drunk a bit too much.
