Everyoneâs gossiping atmosphere was suppressed. They held their breaths and waited for Su Xunâs next move.
Would he drag Xi Wan away angrily, or would he say in a haughty manner,
âLetâs just let the Ling and Xiao families go bankrupt when itâs time?â However, Xi Wanâs casual introduction made the silent atmosphere disappear without a trace.
Everyoneâs gaze fell on Su Xun and Xi Wan holding hands.
Was this tone really something Su Xun could say?
Xi Wan said lightly, âWe were talking about the ring you gave me. Mrs. Wang asked me where it was bought.â
âI bought it casually.â Su Xun let go of Xi Wanâs hand. His tone was cold.
This matched everyoneâs impression of Su Xun.
Xiao Zhe snorted coldly and said, âI didnât expect Mr. Su to buy what I liked so casually.â
In other words, Xiao Zhe had originally planned to buy this pink diamond for Mrs. Su, but he didnât expect it to be bought by Su Xun?
Did Su Xun know the inside story?
Even Lu Zhou could feel the tension in the air. Lu Ting was also watching the show.
Su Xun rejected the pastries handed over by the waiter and said, âThereâs also a green diamond thatâs not too bad. Top Actor Xiao, you can take a look at that one.â
Xiao Zhe did not know if Su Xun was being intentional or not, but Xiao Zheâs expression turned ugly after hearing this.
He did not say anything but Ling Feng said, âIt seems that Mr. Su likes to steal favors from others.â
Lu Zhou did not even dare to breathe. When she looked at the personâs expression, she saw that Xi Wan was calm and even had the time to peel off the packaging of another plate of pastry.
Was Xi Wan really not nervous at all?
However, Xi Wanâs thoughts were, âI didnât expect to see such an exciting show. Looks like todayâs birthday banquet wasnât in vain.â
The system replied: [Who do you think they are doing this for?]
Xi Wan said, âThis is a plot that the male protagonist and the antagonist must follow.â The hatred of stealing his wife is irreconcilable.â
[Then, can you, as his âwifeâ, stop standing by the side and acting like this has nothing to do with you?]
âIâm afraid that the feelings must not be real if something can be taken away so easily.â
Xi Wan was slightly surprised by his words. âSu Xunâs attack power is quite high.â
When Xi Wan saw that Su Xun usually didnât talk much, she thought that he was a smart man of action. She did not expect that his retort skills were quite good.
Cheng Shi, who was sitting opposite him, felt a little better. She wanted to tell Su Xun about Xi Wan and Ling Fengâs past, but she didnât want Su Xun to make things difficult for Ling Feng.
However, Cheng Shi had seen what Ling Feng had said to Xi Wan and how he had protected her, so she felt a little imbalanced.
âMr. Su, do you know about what happened between Mrs. Su and Ling Feng? Cheng Shi asked Su Xun.
Su Xun did not even look at her. Instead, he placed a hand on Xi Wanâs shoulder and asked, âWho is she?â
They were clearly ignoring her and felt disdained to talk to her.
This was undoubtedly a blow to Cheng Shi.
Xi Wan thought about it and tried her best to recall, âI donât know who she is either. I only heard Mrs. Wang call her Miss Cheng.â
âXi Wan, what are you pretending for? If you donât know me, why did you say so much to me just now?â
âBecause Iâm polite,â Xi Wan replied.
Mrs. Wang also said, â Miss Cheng, you came over to talk on your own to begin with. Mrs. Su is a kind person, so she didnât argue with you.â
Cheng Shiâs eyes almost popped out.
How was Xi Wan kind from head to toe?
Mrs. Wang looked at Xi Wan and said apologetically, âI didnât think it through. I actually didnât introduce Miss Cheng to Mr. Su.â
âItâs okay, youâre busy.â Xi Wan found an excuse and said to Cheng Shi, âMy husband doesnât know you yet. Why donât you introduce yourself, Miss Cheng?â
Cheng Shiâs expression immediately changed, and she stood up to leave.
Everyone could see her sorrow and misery from her back view.
When everyone came back to their senses, Su Xun finally withdrew his hand on Xi Wanâs shoulder.
âThe birthday banquet is about to begin,â He whispered.
âI understand.â After Xi Wan tidied up her appearance, she held Su Xunâs arm and walked toward the banquet hall.
Lu Zhou looked at the two of them and said, âTheyâre really a perfect match!â
