Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Noticing Song Qinghui's gaze, Ruan Chuxi stepped forward to look, but only saw the tightly closed elevator doors.

She straightened her shawl and turned to look at Song Qinghui with a scrutinizing expression.

"What's wrong? Did you run into someone you know?"

Song Qinghui was indeed a good marriage prospect.

Gentlemanly, considerate, and good-looking.

They were originally planning to get engaged, but he accidentally learned from someone else that he had an ex-girlfriend.

They had been together for three years, and all their close friends knew about her.

We're all adults; it's normal to have exes.

What bothered Ruan Chuxi was the name that Song Qinghui blurted out when he was drunk one time.

Lu Xingci.

The name was like a thorn stuck in Ruan Chuxi's heart.

She was a top student who graduated from a prestigious foreign university, and the eldest daughter of the Ruan family.

How could someone be inferior to a woman from an ordinary family?

Ruan Chuxi was unconvinced.

Upon hearing this, Song Qinghui shook his head.

"No, I made a mistake. Let's go, the concert is about to start."

My mom and my aunt have arrived; they're waiting for us upstairs.

"Your aunt is the third wife of the Shen family?"

A glint flashed in Ruan Chuxi's eyes, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

Song Qinghui nodded, unable to hide his pride.

"Yes, my aunt has always been very fond of me. She heard that I've been with you recently and has been saying she wants to meet you."

Let's go upstairs, don't keep them waiting.

Although the Song family was ordinary, they were not even considered among the elite families in Beijing.

But with the Shen family backing him up, the Song family is indeed a good choice for him at the moment.

With the Shen family around, who among the Ruan family would dare to look down on us in the future!

As Ruan Chuxi pondered this in her heart, a smile spread across her face, and she spoke softly.

"Alright, actually I've wanted to see Madam Shen for a long time too."

After saying that, Ruan Chuxi raised her hand, affectionately took Song Qinghui's arm, and walked into the elevator.

The concert hall is located on the second floor, and today's performance is by a very famous music group in China.

The Beijing stop was the first stop of the global tour, and tickets were so popular that they were hard to come by.

When Lu Xingci and Shen Yu went up to the second floor and arrived at the entrance of the concert hall, a large number of people had already poured into the hall.

The ticket in Shen Yu's hand was in the VIP section, with a good view and spacious seats.

But you have to go through a passageway to go up one floor.

As Lu Xingci was being led towards the VIP area with Shen Yu's arm around her waist, she spotted Xiao Jinglan sitting there.

Lu Xingci paused, and Shen Yu also stopped and turned around to ask her.

"What's wrong?"

Before Shen Yu could finish speaking, Lu Xingci pulled his hand away from his waist and, without waiting for Shen Yu's reaction, turned and left.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Shen Yu reached out to grab him, but was forced to separate from Lu Xingci due to the continuous influx of audience members.

Lu Xingci pushed through the crowded people, intending to leave immediately.

But instead of finding the exit, they stumbled upon the backstage area.

All around were people dressed in exquisite formal attire, carrying musical instruments and rushing about.

Lu Xingci was momentarily disoriented and didn't know which way to go.

Just then, a girl carrying a pipa and wearing a light blue cheongsam ran by hurriedly.

Inadvertently, he bumped into Lu Xingci.

She staggered back a few steps, only to be caught by a strong arm.

Looking up, I saw Shen Yu's handsome and noble face.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

The girl holding the pipa turned around apologetically and asked with concern.

Lu Xingci grabbed Shen Yu's shoulder, trying to use it to get up.

Shen Yu's hand, which was around her waist, also gently pushed her up, lifting her up.

Lu Xingci turned to the side, smiled and shook her head.

"It's okay."

The girl was clearly in a hurry. She looked in another direction, nodded, apologized again, and then turned and left.

With a forceful pull from the hand around his waist, Shen Yu turned Lu Xingci around so that they were face to face.

"Did you see Xiao Jinglan just now, so you were hiding?"

When his mother asked him to accompany her to the concert, Shen Yu thought it would just be his mother alone.

That's why she thought of taking this opportunity to introduce Lu Xingci to her mother.

Unexpectedly, her mother not only summoned Xiao Jinglan, but also brought Song Qinghui and Ruan Chuxi with her.

No wonder Lu Xingci turned and ran away.

Shen Yu extended his index finger and gently lifted Lu Xingci's chin.

"Are you that afraid of seeing them?"

Lu Xingci pursed her lips and turned her head away.

"I'm not afraid."

"What else could it be but fear?"

They're like mice before a cat, still stubborn.

"It's disgust."

Shen Yu nodded.

"Coincidentally, I dislike it too."

Lu Xingci looked up in surprise.

"Isn't she your aunt?"

Shen Yu took her hand in his palm and stroked it, speaking calmly.

"Didn't I tell you before that I have a grudge against Xiao Jinglan and the Song family?"

Lu Xingci didn't know how much of what he said was true and how much was false.

"Then, may I leave?"

Shen Yu shook his head.

"There's no point in being a deserter. I never run away from things."

Just as Lu Xingci was about to say that she wasn't trying to escape, Shen Yu took a step closer.

He cupped her face in his large hands, a fiery desire flashing in his eyes, and seduced her.

"Next month is the Shen family banquet, just as I mentioned before."

If you attend the family dinner as my fiancée, it will infuriate Song Qinghui and his mother.

He moved his hand down, his thumb landing on Lu Xingci's red lips.

"What do you think, Mrs. Shen? Would you seriously consider my suggestion?"

Lu Xingci slowly raised his eyes and looked straight at them.

"But I don't want to see her right now."

Shen Yu curled his lips into a sly smile.

There are many ways to avoid seeing her; you don't necessarily have to run away.

But I can only give you three days to think about marriage.

You must give me an answer in three days.

Originally, he wanted to proceed gradually, but now it seems that without some pressure, Lu Xingci will not really consider becoming his Mrs. Shen.

Lu Xingci took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

Actually, she had wanted to attend this concert for a long time.

But it was so popular that she couldn't get a ticket at all.

Actually, as long as she didn't run into Xiao Jinglan, she would have been very willing to stay and listen to the concert.

Shen Yu leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"Then wait for me here, I'll go and coordinate something."

"Um."

Lu Xingci nodded in response, watched Shen Yu turn around, and then skillfully pushed open the door to an office.

Lu Xingci took a few steps forward, wanting to find a quiet corner to stay in so as not to delay the performance.

But when he looked up, he saw Song Qinghui at the other end of the passage.

He came from another direction, hurrying along, as if he were looking for someone.

When their eyes met in the crowd, Song Qinghui stopped, his face showing surprise and seriousness.

Lu Xingci turned and left, feeling disgusted even by glancing at Song Qinghui.

But the next second, Song Qinghui quickly caught up and grabbed Lu Xingci, who was trying to escape.

He opened his arms and hugged her tightly from behind, his rapid breaths spraying against her ear as he murmured in a deep voice.

"Xingci, I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you!"
