Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 759 The Old-fashioned and Reserved General vs. The Amnesiac Seducer (24)

The Ning family held a banquet at Jinghua Manor over the weekend. Shen Shuyi, dressed in formal attire, entered the hall arm in arm with Ning Shitang.

As they walked in, everyone in the hall turned to look.

They recognized Ning Shitang at a glance. This young talent had recently been promoted to Army Commander, which meant he controlled the lifeline of most of the country. In a few years, he would probably become the most powerful person in this land.

Unexpectedly, a young woman stood beside the legendary cold-faced Yama. The girl wore a celadon-colored cheongsam that accentuated her elegant curves. Her jet-black hair was styled in an updo, with a few playful strands falling loose, adding to her lively charm.

The pearls on the light blue hairpin in her hair swayed gently as she walked. Her eyes were like autumn water, bright and clear, and her lips were like cherries with a touch of red. She was incomparably beautiful.

Some people in the crowd had already started whispering among themselves.

"Which family's young lady is she? I've never seen her before."

"It seems that she has a close relationship with Governor Ning."

"I have never seen Governor Ning appear with any woman on such a grand occasion."

Among the crowd below the stage, a man and a woman looked at the perfect couple on stage with eyes full of shock.

Shen Shuyi naturally noticed the strange gazes, but she didn't give them a second glance.

System 66 was extremely excited: Host! What a coincidence! You probably don't know that Ning Shitang specifically asked people not to invite the Shen family from Haicheng to the banquet.

I wonder who Hu Cheng and Fan Meizhen came with; it's like a scene from hell!

The moment Fan Meizhen saw Shen Shuyi, she instinctively grabbed Hu Cheng's hand as if she had seen a ghost.

“Acheng. She, she.”

Hu Cheng was also shocked. For some reason, he had been having nightmares lately.

One moment it's Shen Shuyi coming back to take his life, the next it's him being buried at sea.

He stared intently at the woman on the stage. The young woman bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to Shen Shuyi; she was gentle, beautiful, and stunning.

Who is she?
Even if Shen Shuyi were still alive, she couldn't possibly have any connection with Commander Ning!
If she's still alive, why doesn't she go back to Haicheng to find him?
So none of this makes sense; she can't possibly be Shen Shuyi!
Hu Cheng gently patted Fan Meizhen's hand, "Don't worry, it's not her."

However, when Ning Shitang spoke, both of them were shocked and speechless, because as soon as Ning Shitang stepped onto the stage, he introduced Shen Shuyi's identity to everyone.

He told everyone that the woman beside him was his wife, Shen Shuyi, and that they would be holding their wedding soon, inviting everyone to come and have a drink then.

Shen Shuyi leaned closer and whispered to Ning Shitang, "Have we never had a wedding ceremony?"

Ning Shitang lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry, Shuyi, it was Father who was interfering before, so..."

Shen Shuyi seemed to suddenly realize something, "So that's how it is. In other words, we were in love before, and we overcame all difficulties to get married secretly!"

Ning Shitang coughed lightly, "That's one way to understand it."

As the scapegoat, Master Ning was currently being kept under tight guard by the guards dispatched by Ning Shitang in the Ning Mansion, unable to cause any trouble.

Ning Shitang gently brushed a stray strand of hair from Shen Shuyi's cheek behind her ear, "From now on, no one will be able to stop us from being together."

"Mmm!" Shen Shuyi nodded with a smile.

This scene caught everyone's attention, and they all exclaimed how wonderful the commander and his wife's relationship was, truly a perfect match made in heaven.

Fan Meizhen subconsciously frowned as she looked at the two people on stage being affectionate.

Filled with indignation, he cried out, "Why? Why didn't Shen Shuyi die?!"

When she was young, Shen Shuyi was the eldest daughter of the Shen family, but she was someone who couldn't be seen in the light of day. She was secretly raised outside by her father and was often gossiped about, with people saying that she had a mother but no father to raise her!
After finally outliving Shen Shuyi's mother, she and her mother were taken back to the Shen family, but she was still treated as a stepdaughter, and was inexplicably inferior to Shen Shuyi!
Shen Shuyi also had a talented fiancé, and at that time she vowed to take everything from Shen Shuyi.

After years of planning, she succeeded! Hu Cheng fell deeply in love with her, they got engaged, and she was added to the Shen family genealogy.

But now Shen Shuyi has returned alive. Not only has she returned alive, but Commander Ning, whom everyone wants to curry favor with, actually wants to marry her?!

Fan Meizhen took Hu Cheng's arm, only to find that Hu Cheng was frozen in place, staring intently at Shen Shuyi.

Hu Cheng felt very uncomfortable.

After studying abroad, he hadn't seen Shen Shuyi for quite some time.

Unexpectedly, she has become even more beautiful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she has a face as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon.

The happy smile on her face pierced his heart. Shen Shuyi used to love him so much, and she even cried uncontrollably when she sent him abroad to study. How could she possibly fall in love with another man?

She even stopped going back to the Shen family for other men.

She doesn't want him, her fiancé, anymore?!
Hu Cheng forced himself to pull himself back to reality. This was for the best. Meizhen was much more obedient than her. They had so many wonderful memories abroad. It was good that Shen Shuyi married someone else, so she wouldn't bother him anymore.

But for some reason, he always felt uneasy.

Shen Shuyi ignored Fan Meizhen and Hu Cheng's ever-present gazes and took Ning Shitang's arm to greet some important figures.

Many of those present wanted to win over Ning Shitang, and upon hearing Ning Shitang's introduction of Shen Shuyi, they all praised her.

"Miss Shen is exceptionally beautiful and of outstanding character; she is a perfect match for you, Commander."

Ning Shitang nodded slightly, chatted with others for a few more minutes, and then led Shen Shuyi to the dessert counter. "Are you hungry?"

Shen Shuyi took the pastry he handed her, "There's just a little bit."

Because of her pregnancy, she gets hungry quickly and is also very sleepy.

"Brother Shitang, do you still have something to discuss? Why don't you go and discuss it? I can just eat something here by myself."

Ning Shitang sat down with her, "It's alright, I'll dance with you for a bit before I leave."

The dance music started soon after, how could he possibly leave Shuyi alone?

Shen Shuyi ate some desserts and noticed that Fan Meizhen and Hu Cheng were gradually approaching, seemingly trying to find out about her situation.

They wanted to find out if she was actually Shen Shuyi from Haicheng, the one who survived the fall into the sea.

Shen Shuyi glanced at them out of the corner of her eye and noticed that Fan Meizhen, who was standing behind Hu Cheng, was stealing glances at Ning Shitang from time to time.

It's not hard to tell from that look that Fan Meizhen has probably taken a liking to Ning Shitang again.

She's always trying to steal her sister's man; does she have some serious illness?

Seeing Shen Shuyi lost in thought, Ning Shitang took her hand. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Shen Shuyi looked up at him. The man was wearing a crisp military uniform, tall and slender, with deep features and profound eyes, exuding the charm of a mature man.

In addition, having been in a position of power for a long time, this kind of aloof demeanor of a person in a position of power is particularly attractive.

She smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think the pastries are especially delicious today."

Seeing her smile put Ning Shitang at ease. "If you like it, invite the chef who made the pastries today to our house. You can have them whenever you want."

He then took a cherry cake from a passing waiter's tray for Shuyi.

"Little greedy cat."

"Let's not eat anymore, let's go dancing!" At this moment, music started playing in the hall, and the dance party began.
