Sweet crazy!The cold lawyer Song married at an early age

Chapter 427 Meeting
As the doors slowly opened, a magnificent banquet hall came into view. The sounds of people talking mingled with music, and various delicious dishes were laid out on the exquisite tables. Every detail exuded an atmosphere of luxury.

Looking in the direction of the voice, everyone was surprised to see that Song Shichen, who rarely appeared at banquets, was accompanied by a woman. However, their expressions quickly returned to normal, and some people stepped forward to greet him.

The man walked forward, holding a wine glass. "Lawyer Song, it's been a long time. I must thank you for your help last time; otherwise, things wouldn't have been resolved so easily. And who is this gentleman?"

Her gaze shifted to Shen Wanyi beside the man, and she nodded politely to her.

Song Shichen nodded slightly, raised the wine glass brought by the waiter, and clinked glasses with the waiter. "It's no trouble at all. This is my female companion, Ms. Shen Wanyi."

The moment the word "female companion" was uttered, the man was taken aback, and those nearby shared the same expression, their gossipy eyes scanning the two of them.

You know, Song Shichen has never had a woman by his side before, and it's almost rumored that he's sexually frigid. Where did this female companion come from? Not a word of it was given.

The woman wore a long black dress, her slender waist accentuated by the dress's form, her delicate face clear and cool, her lips curving into a gentle smile.

"Hello, my name is Shen Wanyi."

His fair and slender hand grasped the other person's outstretched hands. He was taken aback at first, then quickly said hello, hello, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then went elsewhere.

Upon hearing the words "female companion," onlookers perked up their ears, wondering about the woman's identity.

"Would you like something to eat?" Song Shichen squeezed the woman's slender wrist. The slightly cool temperature spread to his palm. He frowned and was about to lead her to the sofa.

"Attorney Song, the law firm tried to contact you several times before, but you weren't there. Your secretary said you were on a business trip. It just so happens that we've run into you now. We need your help with something. Could we talk in private for a moment...?"

He appeared before the two dressed in a suit and tie, his gentle gaze falling on Song Shichen.

Shen Wanyi didn't necessarily need someone to accompany her. "I'll wait for you over there," she said, pointing to a quiet corner.

Song Shichen agreed, gave her a few instructions, and then went to the banquet with the man.

My gaze swept through the bustling crowd and landed precisely on him. Under the banquet lights, he seemed to be the sole focus of attention.

The man was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, which only added to his mature and steady demeanor. He had delicate features, a strong face with distinct contours, and a pair of long, affectionate peach blossom eyes between his raised eyebrows. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses sat on his high nose.

He wore a calm smile and answered the questions clearly and logically using his professional knowledge.

Shen Wanyi withdrew her gaze, swirling the wine glass in her hand. The scarlet liquid splashed against the glass, creating a small ripple. She lowered her head and took a sip, the spiciness rushing to her throat.

She had never liked these kinds of lively occasions, where everyone wore a smile, the true feelings and feigned sincerity known only to themselves. "Congratulations, Mr. Lu! Don't forget to treat us to a drink later..."

"Definitely, definitely, we have to drink to our hearts' content."

A familiar voice, mixed with noise, slowly reached her ears. It wasn't very clear, but Shen Wanyi still caught it. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure she hadn't seen in a long time.

It's Lu Yanhan.

She was still thinking of finding him, but he appeared right in front of her, saving her a lot of trouble.

However, a woman stood beside him, intimately holding his hand, smiling radiantly, calmly and composedly facing the person offering blessings.

Shen Wanyi stopped in her tracks as she went to find Lu Yanhan, having roughly guessed the woman's identity: Lu Yanhan's fiancée.

The woman was exceptionally beautiful, wearing a light blue cheongsam that accentuated her slender figure. Her eyes and brows were strikingly bright, her beauty breathtaking and captivating.

She quietly watched the two people not far away. Although Lu Yanhan was smiling, there was a hint of loneliness hidden in his eyes.

"Hearing your words is more valuable than reading for ten years. Miss Cen truly lives up to her reputation as a top student from abroad. Miss Cen and President Lu are a perfect match, a powerful alliance..."

Lu Yanhan smiled politely, but was clearly distracted. Suddenly, he felt a strong gaze on him and turned around sharply, meeting Shen Wanyi's eyes.

He froze slightly, his expression showing disbelief, but quickly regained his composure, seemingly not expecting Shen Wanyi to appear at the banquet.

Cen Yao noticed that Lu Yanhan was distracted, followed his gaze, and gave him a gentle smile, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yanhan withdrew his gaze, avoiding her probing eyes, and answered perfunctorily, "I met a friend..."

“We’ll be family soon, won’t you introduce your friends to me?” Cen Yao said with a smile.

"We'll talk about it later. I'll go say hello..." Lu Yanhan clearly didn't want to discuss this topic. He couldn't wait any longer, turned around, and disappeared into the crowd.

Cen Yao gently raised her eyes, her gaze falling on the disappearing figure. She casually swirled the wine glass in her hand, her expression thoughtful.

As he passed by Shen Wanyi, Lu Yanhan paused for a few seconds and spoke in a voice that the two of them could hear, "Come out..." before striding towards the garden outside.

Shen Wanyi glanced at the man's departing figure. Not worried about being noticed in the corner, she slowly got up and followed him out.
