Chapter 1681: I'm Right Here

“Miss Shen.”

From the very first words, Mother Loo made it clear who was close and who wasn’t.

The Shen Family parents immediately panicked, exhausting all compliments, but Mr. Loo’s face grew increasingly dark, while Mother Loo didn’t say a word nor give a glance, only asking Shen Shixuan, “You don’t want to marry Yao Yao?”

“Of course—”

“Such a lively scene?”

Loo Yao appeared at the door, noticing the many people inside, he instinctively shifted to the side as if surprised, but he immediately focused his gaze on Shen Shixuan and, disregarding his shyness, quickly walked over to her.

“Xuanxuan, I heard you were injured, is it serious?”

Loo Yao held her hand, Shen Shixuan tried to pull back but he was strong, capturing her hands and examining her thoroughly, his tense lips tightened.

“What happened, it’s all my fault, I was too carefree last night, drank a few more cups and got totally drunk, I should have come to find you last night, I would have watched over you early on, then you wouldn’t have gotten hurt.”

Shen Shixuan felt her blood retreating, a chill surged inexplicably to her head, she felt dazed as if she couldn’t perceive the sensation of Loo Yao holding her hand, he was too forceful, might crush her finger bones at any moment, yet there was no trace of fakery in his face full of concern.

For the first time, she distinctly felt fear from this man.

“How’s your injury? Does it hurt? Let me see, okay?”

He carefully extended his hand, hovering hesitantly around Shen Shixuan’s waist for a long time, dared not touch, his eyes were red, speech interrupted with pauses, corners of lips sagging.

Anyone would be deeply worried, pitying her and filled with his loving gaze.

“Xuanxuan?” Loo Yao called her urgently.

Shen Shixuan snapped back, lips trembling but unable to produce a sound.

Loo Yao suddenly grew angry, he surveyed the room, eyes locking onto Lu Zhenzhen, “Miss Lu, my wife had an incident at your hotel, shouldn’t you be giving us an explanation? Where is the person who hurt her?”

Lu Zhenzhen rested her cheek on her palm, enjoying the spectacle, but when suddenly called out, she wasn’t fazed, casually pointed at the screen, “The explanation is being given, everyone just saw the surveillance, didn’t they? If Second Young Master Loo wants to see it, I can replay it for you.”

Her gaze drifted gently over Shen Shixuan, laughing lightly, “Or perhaps you should ask her, maybe it’s because she doesn’t want to marry you and is playing games?”

Loo Yao knew the whole story.

He didn’t want to come, feeling humiliated.

But upon learning it was Lu Zhenzhen’s hotel, he changed his mind.

In his life, there was only one woman bold enough to slap him.

Yet if he wants to cause trouble, it seems unjustified.

“Xuanxuan?” Loo Yao questioned with his eyes, away from the crowd, where his face lost all tenderness, eyes full of threatening warnings.

Shen Shixuan panicked, shook his hand off, inexplicable fear drove her to flee, but as she moved, Loo Yao wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

He gently soothed, then shielded Shen Shixuan behind him, saying: “Mom, it’s all my fault, I was busy preparing the wedding lately, neglected Xuanxuan. When I finally had time, I went to accompany friends. I should have gone to fetch her this morning but didn’t, often too busy to call, she felt insecure, thus refused to marry me, it’s all my negligence.”
