It’s Qin Jin.
Being able to snuggle and hug in front of so many people, Ye Zi probably guessed who it was.
Shen Cheng observed the expressions of the two for a moment, and then stood up straightforwardly.
"You guys chat, I’ll head over there first."
Seeing her leaving, Ye Zi quickly called out, "Beauty, let me accompany you."
As she spoke, she tried to pry Qin Jin’s hand from around her neck.
"She is going to accompany her man, what are you going for?"
Qin Jin snapped her hand back, not only refusing to let go but also lowering his chin to rest on her shoulder.
Their faces ended up right next to each other.
Shen Cheng glanced at them and did not plan to wait for Ye Zi, turning around to leave.
Qin Jin stood right behind Ye Zi, holding her tightly from the back, ignoring the stares and whispers of the people around.
"There are so many people, don’t..."
Ye Zi always had a thin skin, and upon encountering a few peculiar gazes, she couldn’t help but blush.
"Don’t what?"
In fact, when he was exchanging pleasantries with Gu Liancheng just now, Qin Jin had intentionally or unintentionally glanced over here, so he saw all of Ye Zi’s little emotions.
It’s just that Ye Zi hadn’t noticed all this.
"Don’t hold me."
Ye Zi became fidgety and tried to break free from his embrace.
But how could Qin Jin let her go?
He held her even tighter, whispering in her ear, "Are you angry?"
Angry?
As if she was!
Ye Zi knew what he was referring to but pretended not to understand, "Why would I be angry when everything’s fine?"
Knowing she was being stubborn, Qin Jin couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth, "It’s good that you’re not angry."
After saying that, he let go of her and sat down next to her.
Ye Zi’s heart suddenly felt empty.
When he was holding her just now, she wanted him to let go, but once he did, she felt a sense of loss.
Was he really not going to explain?
Why was he so close to other women, laughing and chatting with them, neglecting her for other women?
Didn’t he say that he liked to tease her every day because he liked her?
If he liked her, how could he be so kind to other women besides her?
Or could it be that this ’like’ was just a simple liking...
Ye Zi thought too much, and the meal felt as tasteless as chewing wax.
As the host of the banquet, halfway through the luncheon, Shi Yu, accompanied by Shen Cheng, went to offer alcohol toasts.
The objects of these toasts were mostly older guests, many of whom were old acquaintances of Mr. Shi and his military comrades.
As for the younger guests, they were still neglected.
But everyone was clear about Shi Yu’s casual style; whom he chose or did not choose to toast was entirely based on his mood.
Therefore, virtually no one took this minor issue to heart.
Having been invited to this banquet was already an honor; a glass of alcohol or not, what did it matter?
Speaking of toasting, after walking around the banquet hall, Shen Cheng hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol.
On the other hand, Shi Yu had drunk at least a whole bottle of red wine.
"Look at my brother, how he has sidelined my sister-in-law, claiming to take her for toasting drinks, but in the end, he drank all the alcohol by himself," Shi Keke couldn’t help but express her disapproval after watching Shi Yu take Shen Cheng to offer toasts.
"What do you know." Shi Mei gave her a sidelong glance, his lips curling into a slight arc, "A woman who has just given birth should avoid drinking as it can harm the body. His refusal to let her drink shows he cares for her."
