Chapter 140 He's holding you, and I'm jealous.
Just then, a commotion broke out at the entrance.
The Prime Minister of Myanmar, accompanied by his wife, attended the event in formal attire, displaying a dignified demeanor and extraordinary presence.
Seeing this, Zhao Da Kuang released Su Yingxue and strode forward calmly.
He bowed slightly and greeted them politely and gracefully: "Prime Minister, Madam, it's been a long time. It's an honor to meet you both today."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he turned around, raised his hand to signal, and said in a loud voice, "Distinguished guests, thank you all for gracing us with your presence. Now, I solemnly announce that the banquet has officially begun! Next, please welcome tonight's birthday celebrant, Miss Ren Yingying!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the stairwell.
Ren Yingying was dressed in an ice-blue evening gown, with tiny diamonds adorning the dress sparkling under the lights, like stars scattered across the sky.
She walked gracefully with light steps, like a fairy descending to earth, her outstanding temperament captivating all who looked at her.
Ren Yingying moved with light steps, but her gaze remained fixed on Zhao Da Kuang.
As he approached, a smile appeared on his lips, revealing a deep affection, and his eyes were filled with undisguised emotion.
Su Yingxue took in all of this and secretly speculated: Ren Yingying's gaze towards Zhao Dakang was quite unusual; she was probably interested in him.
The guests whispered among themselves, their voices rising and falling.
"You know, Ren Yingying is the Prime Minister's daughter, so her marriage is attracting a lot of attention. What kind of son-in-law will the Prime Minister choose?"
"Then it has to be a match in terms of social standing, talent, and appearance!"
As Su Yingxue listened to these discussions, her gaze unconsciously swept towards Zhao Dakang again, and she became more and more certain in her heart: Judging from this scene, Zhao Dakang might be the son-in-law that the Premier has his eye on.
Su Yingxue's heart was pounding with curiosity. Unable to contain her curiosity, she reached out and poked Zhao Dakang's arm, leaning closer to whisper, "Hey, tell me the truth, are you the son-in-law the Premier has his eye on?"
Zhao Da Kuang was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting her to ask that question.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he shook his head and denied it: "I have no feelings for Ren Yingying. Yingxue, you are the only one in my heart. No matter how outstanding others are, they can't catch my eye."
These words, though spoken softly, were still heard by those around them.
Ren Yingying's smiling face instantly fell, and she turned red with anger.
The Prime Minister's expression changed slightly; the smile on his lips vanished instantly, and his eyes revealed displeasure.
Su Yingxue rolled her eyes, feeling utterly helpless, and thought to herself: Is this guy crazy? He pesters those who don't like him, but discards girls who are in love with him like trash.
Ren Yingying couldn't bear this humiliation, so she stomped her foot.
He walked a few steps to Zhao Da Kuang and Su Yingxue.
With her hands on her hips, her chest heaving, she glared at Zhao Da Kuang and demanded, "Who is she? How dare you say such things to my face!"
His angry and aggressive demeanor instantly drew everyone's attention.
Su Yingxue stood to the side, looking helpless. She felt like an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire, so embarrassed that she could dig her toes out of a three-bedroom apartment.
Zhao Da Kuang stretched out his long arm and domineeringly put his arm around Su Yingxue's shoulder.
He held her tightly to his side, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, his voice sharp as a knife: "Yingxue, you better cooperate obediently. If you dare to cause any trouble, Xiaoqi will be in for a world of hurt."
Su Yingxue's body stiffened abruptly, her heart clenching instantly, fear and anger mingling in her eyes.
She stared wide-eyed at Zhao Da Kuang, her mind filled with scorn: How could this man be so despicable! But when she thought of Xiao Qi's delicate appearance, she could only swallow the curses that were about to come out of her mouth, grit her teeth, and endure the injustice.
Seeing that she had stopped struggling, Zhao Da Kuang's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
He even pretended to raise his hand and affectionately pinched Su Yingxue's cheek.
To outsiders, they looked like a loving couple.
But only Su Yingxue knew that this was just a trick to deceive others.
While everyone's attention was drawn to the stage performance.
Su Yingxue had a sudden inspiration, forced a smile, and whispered to Zhao Dakang, "I'm going to the restroom."
She was certain that no matter how domineering Zhao Da Kuang was, he wouldn't stop her from having such a normal need.
Now I just hope to take this opportunity to temporarily escape this suffocating control.
Zhao Da Kuang's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment's thought, he finally nodded and let go.
Su Yingxue had only taken two steps, and her skirt hadn't even had a chance to fully unfurl.
Then a spoiled voice rang out from behind: "Stop!"
It was Ren Yingying, who was filled with displeasure.
She moved gracefully forward, blocking Su Yingxue's path.
She turned to look at Zhao Dakang, her eyes reddening and tears welling up, and asked in a trembling voice, "Zhao Dakang, who exactly is she? What do you mean by being so intimate with her in front of me today?"
Su Yingxue felt a chill run down her spine, filled with helplessness.
He was dragged into this mess for no reason and couldn't get out.
Inside the banquet hall, the crowd was bustling and noisy.
Zhao Da Kuang and Ren Yingying were arguing heatedly, neither willing to give in.
The surrounding guests gathered in a circle, all looking astonished and whispering amongst themselves.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Yingxue cleared her throat and whispered to Zhao Dakang, "I'm going to the restroom."
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and made a move to walk out.
I had only taken two steps and hadn't even had a chance to squeeze through the gaps in the crowd.
Suddenly, a pair of warm and strong hands precisely grasped her wrists.
Su Yingxue was startled and looked up.
What comes into view is a pair of stunningly beautiful peach blossom eyes, as if they hold an endless galaxy, shining brightly.
It turned out that it was Tan Zhengchu who had stopped her.
When their eyes met, Su Yingxue felt her heart skip a beat.
It felt as if an electric current had instantly coursed through his body, causing him to tremble slightly.
With a slight effort, Tan Zhengchu skillfully led her through the crowd.
Su Yingxue smiled, her cheeks flushing slightly.
His pace quickened unconsciously as he followed Tan Zhengchu into the lounge.
As soon as the door closed behind him, Tan Zhengchu eagerly opened his arms.
He pulled Su Yingxue tightly into his arms, as if trying to use this embrace to shut out all the troubles of the world.
Su Yingxue's nose lightly touched his familiar cool fragrance.
That was Tan Zhengchu's unique scent, like a calming incense.
This instantly calmed her panicked heart, and she slowly wrapped her arms around his waist.
Tan Zhengchu rested his chin lightly on the top of her head and muttered in a low voice, "Wife, he was hugging you just now, and I'm jealous."
His voice was filled with resentment and anger.
Su Yingxue sighed helplessly and looked up to explain, "Xiao Qi is in his hands. I really have no way to resist, so I can only go along with him for now."
Tan Zhengchu loosened his grip slightly, placed his hands on her shoulders, stared intently at her, and asked, "Have you missed me?"
Su Yingxue's eyes welled up with tears, and without hesitation, she responded affectionately, "Yes, I really want to, I want to very much."
