Dinner party.
The wine glasses were clinking and the ladies were in elegant clothes.
Those gathered under the lights are all gentlemen and celebrities. This is the world of the upper class.
Shu Nian held Xiang Muyang's arm and fulfilled her duties as Xiang's wife.
"Mrs. Xiang, you look so beautiful tonight." Xiang Muyang whispered in her ear after toasting with others. His long arms had crossed from her waist and embraced her slender waist. Shu Nian's whole body tensed up and she held her breath. Xiang Muyang tried his best to ignore her boring reaction and blew in her ear, "It's so beautiful tonight, let's not let each other down, okay?"
Shu Nian understood what this meant as soon as he heard it.
If she had heard these words before she lost her heart, she might have still felt a little moved and still had a glimmer of hope for their marriage.
But…
Now, it's too late.
"Unfortunately, I've become accustomed to being let down by Mr. Xiang." Her attitude was cold, even indifferent.
Xiang Muyang smiled softly, and used his long fingers to tease the loose hair on her cheek and put it behind her ear. His fingers brushed her snow-white earlobe intentionally or unintentionally, "It doesn't matter. Slowly, you will get used to my not letting you down..."

"Hey! Ye Yan!"
Ye Yan, who was holding a glass of champagne, was nudged by Tang Jifeng. Surrounded by people who wanted to greet and establish relationships with the two young masters, Ye Yan was very unhappy, so he didn't look at Tang Jifeng well, "What?"
"Look over there."
“What’s so good about it…” He was stuck before he could finish his sentence.
As soon as Ye Yan looked up, he saw that scene. Shu Nian was standing under the dazzling crystal lamp in a white dress. Her hair was elegantly tied behind her head. Her face, which was originally plain, was now lightly made up. She stood there, like a delicate and cool lily, attracting attention. If you didn't know her, who would have associated such an elegant lady with the busy nurse who was dressed simply in the hospital during the day
and…
At this moment, there was a man standing next to her. He hugged her waist intimately, flirting with her openly without considering the occasion.
Ye Yan's expression became increasingly cold, and his chest felt sore and swollen.
Oh~
She said she was afraid of men, but why wasn't she afraid of this man? Wasn't she being held in his arms?! Usually in his bed, I'm afraid...
Thinking of this, Ye Yan didn't think any further. He put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the tray and said coldly, "I'm going to go out for some fresh air."
"Hello!"
Tang Jifeng called out, but he ignored her. Tang Jifeng just watched Ye Yan walk straight towards the two people with his long legs.
This... isn't this meant to be a provocation
Tang Jifeng's scalp was numb and he wanted to follow, but he was blocked by more people rushing over.
———
Shu Nian only felt a cold and sharp gaze fixed on her. She subconsciously glanced to the side and saw that familiar handsome face, and was slightly startled.
Why is he here
And why did he look so fierce and fierce? It was as if I owed him something.
Could it be that this person came here to settle the score with her because she left early
Shu Nian even thought of such a ridiculous possibility. Ye Yan came towards her with a chill all over his body. This made Shu Nian feel overwhelmed. Ye Yan was always lawless and would not care about the occasion when he got into trouble.
Just when I was having a headache, I didn't expect Xiang Muyang to take a step forward.
"Young Master Ye, I didn't expect you to be here tonight! Nice to meet you!" Xiang Muyang extended his hand.
Ye Yan glanced at him without even looking him in the eye, "Who are you? Do I know you well?"
"..." Xiang Muyang was choked, feeling extremely embarrassed, his face was pale and blue. Shu Nian felt that he had a bad mind, but he was in a good mood watching Xiang Muyang being humiliated.
Xiang Muyang quickly adjusted his state, took his hand back, and smiled in a very gentlemanly way, as if he didn't care about what happened just now. "That's right. Master Ye is usually a very busy man, I'm afraid it's difficult for him to remember me. I am the current head of the Xiang Group, Xiang Muyang."
"I see." Ye Yan looked Xiang Muyang up and down, still arrogant. Finally, his eyes fell directly on Shu Nian. Shu Nian felt numb all over when he looked at him, and he only heard him snort and laugh, "Nurse Shu has good taste. It turns out that she married such a capable husband."
Ye Yan's words sounded like a compliment to Xiang Muyang, who was a little proud. "So you two know each other?"
"Not only do we know each other, but we are very familiar with each other. However, I just can't understand how a man can be willing to let his woman go to the hospital to suffer that kind of pain?" Ye Yan turned to Xiang Muyang with a meaningful look, "Mrs. Xiang is so beautiful, Mr. Xiang doesn't treat her like a treasure, aren't you worried that someone will poach her one day?"
Xiang Muyang was stunned.
I just felt that Ye Yan's words were like a provocation. Could it be that he...
Xiang Muyang glanced at his wife beside him and clenched his fists.
On the other side, Shu Nian stared at Ye Yan in astonishment. She didn't understand the purpose of his words at all. Moreover, he praised her for being pretty? She knew that when she was in school, Ye Yan always called her ugly behind her back.
Ye Yan had no intention of explaining. He just glanced at her coldly with sharp eyes, ignored them and strode away.
What on earth is this person doing
"Have you seen enough?"
Xiang Muyang's cold voice sounded beside his ears. Shu Nian then withdrew his gaze from Ye Yan's back and faced Xiang Muyang's questioning eyes, "What is your relationship?!"
Shu Nian was a little tired, "I don't want to quarrel with you."
"If you don't want to quarrel, then tell me what your relationship is. He said he knew each other well, could it be..." Xiang Muyang tightened his grip on Shu Nian's hand and lowered his voice, "Could it be that he is the man who made you pregnant?!"
This man is terribly suspicious.
"Xiang Muyang, stop being unreasonable!"
"I'm asking you, is it true or not? You had an affair with him back then, right?" Xiang Muyang felt more and more that this was the case, and his eyes were about to pierce through. "Shu Nian, you are such a jerk! You actually kept in touch with him behind my back!"
Shu Nian's teeth were trembling.
If she hadn't taken the occasion into consideration, she would have slapped Mu Yang without hesitation.
In the end, she just sneered, "So what? Xiang Muyang, what can you do to Ye Yan?"
"You...you..."
"Mrs. Xiang, Mrs. Xiang is waiting for you outside the venue." At this moment, the waiter came over and announced.
Shu Nian shook off Xiang Muyang's hand and followed him out. She knew that Madam Xiang's visit to her would not bring good things, but why not take the opportunity to slip away and get out of this smoky and chaotic venue
After leaving the banquet hall, Shu Nian saw Madam Xiang standing there from afar, staring at her with an imposing manner and cold eyes.
