Arrested for impersonating a powerful figure's girlfriend, but forced into a formal relationshi

At this moment, the two people in Lanyue Pavilion, fearing being discovered, remained face to face, lying on the table.

Xia Xixi glanced at the time; it was 7:45.

Huo Binglan and Jiang Xiao had scheduled their meeting for 8 o'clock, so it seems they'll have to wait a while longer.

"Miao, did you see that woman across from Sheng Yinian? She has such an elegant air about her. It's the first time I've ever seen a woman wear a cheongsam so beautifully."

"I saw it, and they're quite a good match."

"No, are you his girlfriend or not?"

"What's wrong with having a girlfriend? Can't she just tell me the truth?"

"Okay, okay, but seriously, you two haven't been arguing lately, have you?"

"No."

"Is there anything unusual?"

"without……"

and many more.

Yun Miao suddenly remembered something, picked up her phone, and opened the chat window with Sheng Yinian.

The last message was the "thank you" she sent last night.

And he...did not reply to the message.

Since they met, he has always waited for her to hang up first when they talk on the phone.

When he sends a message, he always responds to whatever she says at the end, never ending the message with her words, let alone ignoring it.

Moreover, he was dressed quite casually today, so the person opposite him must be someone close to him.

But as far as she knew, he was an only child and had no older or younger sisters.

Could it be... that he has really found someone else?

But isn't it a bit too fast?

But things progressed very quickly between him and her.

On the very first day we met, he confirmed that we were boyfriend and girlfriend.

So, is she going to be single again?

Thinking about it this way, my mood was a bit chaotic, but it was quickly overwhelmed by wave after wave of joy.

She opened her phone's search engine and started typing rapidly.

Xia Xixi looked over, puzzled. "What are you searching for?"

Yunmiao was busy with her hands and didn't even have time to look up.

"I'm searching whether fireworks are allowed in Beijing."

"Tonight I'm going to set off a huge fireworks display to celebrate my upcoming single life."

"I want to shout 'I'm breaking up with Sheng Yinian' under the fireworks."

"Tsk, why won't you let me put it down? Don't just stand there, help me..."

"Pfft, pfft." Xia Xixi suddenly made a series of strange noises.

Thanks to their tacit understanding, Yunmiao immediately realized what was going on.

Something's up!

Before he could even respond, he noticed a shadow cast beside him.

She turned her head and her heart almost stopped.

Sheng Yinian stood beside her, quietly watching her, his emotions unreadable.

Yun Miao was startled and suddenly stood up. Her phone hit the edge of the table and slipped out of her hand.

Sheng Yinian turned slightly to the side and caught it with his hand.

The phone screen is still on the search page.

He glanced at it, turned it off as if nothing was wrong, but didn't return the phone to her.

Yunmiao had forgotten about her phone, wondering if he had heard what she had just said.

She felt he should have heard her, but judging from his expression, it seemed he hadn't.

"Why...did you come?" she asked nervously.

The two were very close, but Sheng Yinian did not take her hand. Instead, he opened his palm in front of her.

"Come on, dinner's ready."

Yunmiao instinctively put her hands behind her back: "I'm not hungry."

Sheng Yinian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Come here."

Yun Miao didn't move her feet, but silently shook her head.

Sheng Yinian's eyes grew cold, and his hand, which had been hovering in mid-air, wrapped around her waist and pulled her to his side.

The next second, her entire body was pinned to his waist.

She was breathing rapidly, but didn't dare to make a sound.

Sheng Yinian put his arm around her waist and looked at Xia Xixi, who was standing there stunned.

Before he could speak, Xia Xixi quickly said, "Mr. Sheng, I won't disturb you and your girlfriend's dinner any longer."

After saying that, she quickly ran out of the pavilion.

"Wow, Sister Binglan, what a coincidence! I never thought I'd run into you here."

In the courtyard, Huo Binglan was being led by a waiter along the winding stone path.

Xia Xixi walked quickly to Huo Binglan, but didn't see Jiang Xiao. It seemed he hadn't arrived yet.

Huo Binglan glanced at Lanyue Pavilion, but wisely refrained from going over to greet it.

She looked away and asked Xia Xixi, "Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"If you don't mind, shall we go together?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, Sister Binglan."

It's better to eat with Huo Binglan than to eat with Sheng Yinian at Nuanyan Pavilion.

Xia Xixi was really scared to death just now!

How can someone scare someone half to death without saying or doing anything?

Now, she completely understands how her sisters felt when they wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate.

As Xia Xixi followed Huo Binglan into the Shuyu Pavilion, she glanced back.

Yun Miao was being led by Sheng Yinian towards Nuanyan Pavilion.

She happened to be looking in Xia Xixi's direction as well. The two made eye contact for only a moment before tacitly looking away.

Take care tonight.

Just as I was about to step into the Warm Smoke Pavilion, the woman inside greeted me with a smile.

"Hello, I am Yu Nian's cousin, Sheng Shutong."

Cousin?

It's actually... my cousin?!

Yunmiao suppressed her surprise and greeted him politely.

"Hello, cousin, I'm Yunmiao."

Looking at the well-behaved, quiet girl with bright, sparkling eyes in front of her, Sheng Shutong felt a surge of affection for her.

She raised her hand and gently unfastened the bracelet on her wrist.

The chain is a cool, bright white, with a cornflower blue sapphire in the center that is so clear it is almost flawless, its deep blue color seemingly filling the night sky.

"It's our first meeting, I didn't have time to prepare anything, so you can wear this bracelet for fun."

Even though Yunmiao wasn't an expert, she could tell that this bracelet was a rare treasure.

"Cousin, I..."

Just as Yun Miao was about to politely decline, Sheng Shutong took her hand and put the bracelet on her slender wrist.

"From now on, when you're with Yu Nian, you need to get used to these things. Whatever they are, if they're given to you, just accept them. You can handle it."

Yunmiao knew that it would be impolite not to accept the bracelet.

"Thank you, cousin. I really like it."

"If you like it, that's good."

Sheng Shutong wanted to take her hand.

Sheng Yinian took the lead first and led the person into the Warm Smoke Pavilion.

Sheng Shutong stayed where she was, glanced at her empty hand, and followed her inside with a smile.

The three of them had barely sat down when the delicious food was served.

Yunmiao's eyes lit up when she saw the tempting plate of sweet and sour pork ribs in front of her.

Seeing this, Sheng Shutong smiled silently: "Let's eat."

Just as Yun Miao was about to pick up the chopsticks, Sheng Yinian grabbed her wrist.

While she was wondering what was going on, Sheng Yinian had already gently rolled up the long sleeves at her wrists twice.

Yunmiao then realized that the sleeves of the light blue dress she was wearing today were a bit long, making it inconvenient to hold chopsticks.

At this moment, Sheng Yinian seemed to be in a stable mood, so he probably didn't hear what she said at Lanyue Pavilion.

Or perhaps he heard it, but didn't care.

"Thanks."

She thanked him sweetly, then offered him her other wrist, waiting patiently for him to take her arm.

Sheng Shutong saw this scene and her smile deepened.

"Yu Nian, am I the first person in the family to see your girlfriend?"

Sheng Yinian rolled up Yun Miao's sleeves and placed a piece of sweet and sour pork chop into her bowl.

"no."

"Who was here before me?"

"Sheng Shichen".
