Chapter 28 Testing
Wen Ruoci looked over.
Although He Ci was smiling, there was a coldness in his eyes that she had never seen before. The dense white mist seemed to seep out of his eyes and spread into his bones, making him shiver again and again.
She swallowed, how could she not understand what he was thinking.
How could he really be so kind as to let her make a choice? He was clearly testing her.
So, she refused without hesitation, "Of course I won't choose Master Pei. I don't like him."
Hearing this, the arc of He Ci's lips widened a little, and he seemed to be in a good mood, "Master Pei, it's a pity, my wife doesn't like you."
Even though Pei Yan knew that Wen Ruoci didn't like him, he was still disappointed when he heard it in person.
"I hope you have a good time at today's charity dinner. I remember that you don't usually like to attend this kind of banquet. I guess He Ci dragged you here."
He Ci smiled, but anyone could see that there was a chill in his eyes and eyebrows. "Master Pei really loves to joke. Madam and I are in love. How could I force her to come here? She was worried about me and insisted on accompanying me."
After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Wen Ruoci's face and he smiled, "Don't you think so?"
Wen Ruoci felt that He Ci now was like a wolf stripping off the sheep's clothing, with no scruples.
She didn't want to respond.
Seeing her reaction, He Ci put his lips close to hers and said in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly,
"If you make me unhappy today, I will smash that imperial green bracelet when I go back. If I remember correctly, it is your father's relic."
"you……"
Wen Ruoci really couldn't help it and wanted to slap his handsome face hard a few times.
But that bracelet was the only relic she still missed, how could she really watch He Ci smash it?
So, she said, "Master Pei, I took the initiative to ask to accompany him, you misunderstood."
Pei Yan looked at their little movements and frowned, "He Ci, why do you have to force her like this?"
He Ci felt that his patience had finally run out, "Pei Yan, do you want to fight with me?"
Seeing that something was not right, Shen Tianyi walked over and pulled He Ci's sleeve, "Calm down, don't be impulsive. This is a charity dinner. If we make a big fuss, it will not be good for anyone. Do you want so many people to laugh at you?"
Jiang Shao thought about it, put down his glass, walked towards Pei Yan, smiled and said,
"Master Pei, please stop talking and worry less about the couple's affairs. Come and drink with me..."
Having said that, he dragged the man away without caring about Pei Yan's reluctant look.
Li Fei was eating some snacks over there. When she saw Pei Yan being dragged over by Jiang Shaoze, she sneered, "Master Pei, why are you pretending to be affectionate now? You have contributed to their current situation."
Pei Yan's face was full of bitterness. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all. "You are right."
Jiang Shaoze looked at Pei Yan thoughtfully. He had heard about what happened back then, but he didn't know much.
To be honest, he was really curious.
He glanced at Li Fei, who had a gloomy and unhappy face, and guessed that apart from those three people, she was the only person who knew the situation best.
I just don't know if she is willing to say it.
After Pei Yan left, Wen Ruoci finally couldn't help it, "How long are you going to hold me? Let me go."
He Ci pinched her chin fiercely, "What? Can't bear to let go? It's just provoking him a little, why are you so excited?"
Wen Ruoci looked at him coldly, "Don't you just want to see my attitude towards Pei Yan? You want to see Pei Yan lose to you, I spoke coldly to him, without any good face, now you have seen it, why are you still hugging me?"
He Ci chuckled, "If you feel so sorry for him, why didn't you choose Pei Yan just now? If you chose Pei Yan, you could divorce me and be free. Haven't you always wanted to divorce me?" Wen Ruoci sneered, "If I choose Pei Yan, will you really divorce me? Isn't this just a test for me? If I really choose Pei Yan, you would have to smash my bracelet when you go back."
"Okay, okay, you really understand me. That's right, if you really choose Pei Yan, not only will you not be able to get a divorce, but the Wen family will also suffer because of you."
He Ci took back the hand that was pinching her chin and almost clapped for her.
Damn it, he didn't want to admit that when she said she didn't choose Pei Yan, he actually felt a little bit of joy.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the door.
"Master Quan is here."
"Master Quan is really here?"
"How can it be false?"
This should be the first time that Quan Shijin has attended such a formal occasion since returning to China.
Basically everyone in the venue looked over.
A black G-Class stopped by the roadside. The driver respectfully opened the door. A pair of spotlessly clean leather shoes first appeared in everyone's sight, followed by slender legs and a meticulously stained suit. Above them was the same indifferent and dignified face.
The car door closed automatically, and Song Chao followed behind him.
The two of them walked into the venue one after the other.
The moment he stepped into the venue, all the lights seemed to be lit up.
Wen Ruoci also looked over.
I don’t know how it happened, but when she looked at Quan Shijin, Quan Shijin also looked over there.
Their eyes met in the air, and their gazes met, like a secret among the crowd.
Quan Shijin smiled at her.
Wen Ruoci herself didn't realize that when she saw Quan Shijin, she unconsciously became more cheerful.
She also pulled her lips slightly.
This scene was extremely dazzling in He Ci's eyes. He couldn't put it into words, it was like countless needles piercing his heart.
I can't tell whether it's pain or numbness.
When the organizer saw Quan Shijin appear, he hurried over to greet him. He was so respectful that he almost bent over 90 degrees. "Master Quan, it is such an honor that you are willing to come."
"I have arranged a seat for you, please follow me."
There was a brief commotion in the place, and then a brief calm when Quan Shijin came in, but after he left, the place became chaotic again.
He Ci held her chin tightly and turned Wen Ruoci's face towards him, his face full of gloom.
"He's gone, why are you still reluctant to let him go? You don't really think Quan Shijin can save you from this quagmire, do you? Don't dream, the Quan family will never allow you to enter. It was impossible for you in the past, not to mention that you are now married for the second time."
Wen Ruoci looked at him and pursed her lips. "He Ci, don't you think you are really like a jealous husband? It's not enough that you dragged me to act out a loving couple in front of Pei Yan. Now you go crazy when I even look at other people. If you don't think you are a jealous husband, what do you think you are?"
"What did you say?"
He Ci was obviously irritated by the words "jealous husband", and her voice seemed to burst out from her larynx with every word.
