Chapter 1163: An Unknown Banquet

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

An Rao was coaxed into obedience by Bo Xiao. In the end, she happily called Xia Wanyuan.

The moment the call connected, An Rao was charmed by Xia Wanyuan in the video.

Xia Wanyuan rarely put on makeup. Although she was extremely beautiful, it was different from the beauty after careful makeup.

She usually had light makeup on. After changing into a gown and putting on makeup, she was intensely elegant.

“Sister! You’re too beautiful!” An Rao was so excited that her eyes were sparkling. “Boohoo, you’re so beautiful!”

Xia Wanyuan smiled. “How are you feeling today?”

An Rao nodded. “Everything tastes good. The only bad thing is that Bo Xiao doesn’t give me crayfish. That’s too much.”

Bo Xiao glanced at her from the side. “What crayfish? The doctor already told you to eat less of these things.”

“Hmph!” An Rao snorted softly, still looking at Xia Wanyuan. “Sister, I miss you so much. Why are you getting prettier?”

“Eat fewer crayfish. I’ll visit you when I’m done.”

“Okay! I’ll listen to you.” The crayfish that the doctor and Bo Xiao could not stop was stopped by Xia Wanyuan’s casual words. “Sister, when are you walking the red carpet?”

“Seven o’clock.”

“Okay, I’ll definitely watch it on time. You must press that Su Yueran to the ground and rub her.” At the mention of Su Yueran, An Rao’s eyes were filled with hatred. “That Su Yueran, why is she pretending to be a white lotus? I think she has bad intentions.”

“Mm.” A smile flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes.

“Alright, all the best. I’ll go eat first and wait to watch you!” An Rao waved at Xia Wanyuan.

“Okay, bye.” After hanging up, the smile in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes did not dissipate.

She looked up and saw Jun Shiling’s bitter gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Jun Shiling looked around Xia Wanyuan’s dress. “Are you going to the ceremony dressed like this?”

Xia Wanyuan looked down at her gown. It was not V-shaped, nor was it strapless, nor was there a large area of exposed flesh. Why couldn’t I wear it? Wasn’t this the most normal style? 

“Hmph.” Jun Shiling looked away.

At home, Xia Wanyuan was always used to wearing loose home clothes. In addition, it was still spring, so Xia Wanyuan always wore sweaters and coats when she went out.

Now that she was suddenly wearing a tight-fitting evening gown, her temperament was different from usual. Her perfect figure was naturally completely revealed by the gown.

Jun Shiling was both passionate and unhappy.

He only wanted to see it himself and did not want others to see such a beautiful Xia Wanyuan.

Seeing Jun Shiling’s expression, Xia Wanyuan knew what he was thinking. Xia Wanyuan kicked Jun Shiling’s leg angrily. “Annoying, can’t I wear something better? Must I wrap myself in a sack for you to be happy?”

Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan’s ankle. She was wearing a pair of crystal shoes filled with diamonds today. Her already slender and small feet were even more exquisite by the shoes.

A flame ignited in Jun Shiling’s eyes. “Don’t move.”

Xia Wanyuan wanted to pull her foot back, but Jun Shiling grabbed it tightly. Her face was dyed pink. “We’re almost at the ceremony. Can you be more serious?”

A smile flashed across Jun Shiling’s eyes. “Got it.”

Although he said that, Jun Shiling did not let go of Xia Wanyuan. Instead, he pulled her closer, his eyes filled with passion. “Why are you always so good-looking?”

It was as if he could never see enough of her.

Xia Wanyuan smiled and took the initiative to hug Jun Shiling’s neck. “Even if I look good, I’m yours. Don’t be jealous, okay?”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling’s anger rose quickly, but Xia Wanyuan’s words dissipated it quickly.

At the ceremony venue.

Countless cameras had been set up, and the reporters were ready to go, waiting for the celebrities to arrive.

The audience in the live-stream were already prepared and waiting for their idol to appear.

In the studio, Su Yueran had been styling for the entire day. She was glowing from the inside out.

“Aiyo, my little ancestor, you’re too good-looking today.” The manager looked at Su Yueran’s appearance. “Beautiful! You’ll definitely be able to suppress the crowd this time.”

Su Yueran smiled and put on the expensive gem bracelet on the dressing table. “Is everything ready?”

“Don’t worry, you’re definitely the main character tonight!”

Even if Xia Wanyuan had Jun Shiling by her side, the absolute protagonist tonight would definitely be Su Yueran.

“Mm.” Su Yueran nodded. The gem on her earlobe quietly emitted a lustrous luster under the light.

In Glory World Corporation, Feng Wuyou moved a chair and sat beside Xuan Sheng. “Are you really not going with me?”

Xuan Sheng almost lay on the chair, his eyes filled with helplessness. “Go ahead. I’ve already gotten someone to arrange it for you.”

“Okay, thank you, Old Xuan.” Feng Wuyou stood up happily. “Do you need me to take photos of you? I’m very good at it. I’ll take many photos of Xia Wanyuan for you!”

Xuan Sheng was silent for a moment, and he looked a little sad. The smile on Feng Wuyou’s face instantly disappeared. She looked at Xuan Sheng. “Are you okay?”

Xuan Sheng shook his head. “Go ahead. You don’t have to take photos of me.”

“Okay.”

Only then did Feng Wuyou pick up her bag and walk out of the office.

When she closed the door, Feng Wuyou glanced at Xuan Sheng in the room. He sat on the chair with a miserable expression, revealing an extreme loneliness that made Feng Wuyou’s heart ache.

She had always heard that Xuan Sheng liked Xia Wanyuan.

Over the past few days, Feng Wuyou had not been able to tell how deeply Xuan Sheng loved Xia Wanyuan.

It was only at this moment, looking at Xuan Sheng’s lonely figure in the spacious office, that Feng Wuyou realized that Xuan Sheng actually liked Xia Wanyuan so much.

He must be very sad, especially in such a public venue.

Xia Wanyuan would hold another man’s hand and show off their love in public, but Xuan Sheng did not even have the right to look at her.

The door closed, and Feng Wuyou’s eyes were filled with sadness.

She wanted to bring Xuan Sheng something delicious to make him happy when she returned later.

Not long after Feng Wuyou left, Xuan Sheng stood up and left the office.

He made a call and his assistant, Xiao Wang, answered quickly. “CEO Xuan.”

“Are you ready?”

Xiao Wang nodded. “I’ve already prepared a seat for you. You can come in ten minutes after the opening.”

“Got it.”

With that, Xuan Sheng hung up.

Xiao Wang looked at the corner of the venue, the place where even the light could not shine, and his heart ached.

In fact, every time Xia Wanyuan participated in an event, Xuan Sheng would be present.

Whether it was Xia Wanyuan’s Best Actress Award, the Spring Festival Gala, or Xia Wanyuan’s variety concert, Xuan Sheng had been to every one of them.

However, every time, Xuan Sheng would wait ten minutes after the opening before secretly sitting in the corner of the last row to watch.

Then, ten minutes before it ended, Xuan Sheng would leave.

It was as if he was always attending a banquet that no one knew about.

Xiao Wang sighed.

Although Lu Li was very good, he could tell that Xuan Sheng did not hate Lu Li and even had a good impression of this innocent and cute little girl.

However, a good impression was still a good impression.

Xia Wanyuan had already become the hope and light engraved in Xuan Sheng’s bones. No one could replace her.

In front of the auditorium, the red carpet had already begun. As familiar celebrities walked past the red carpet, the discussion on Weibo about this grand ceremony was extremely enthusiastic.

In the car, looking at the bustling scene, an inexplicable light flashed across Su Yueran’s eyes. “What do you think is good about Xia Wanyuan?”

She seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be asking her manager. The manager was a little stunned by this question and did not know how to answer.

Recently, she could really tell that Su Yueran seemed to have a hard time with Xia Wanyuan.

“Uh, she’s lucky,” the manager replied after some consideration. “Look at how she was nothing two years ago. She was lucky to meet Jun Shiling, so she’s living a glorious life now.”

Su Yueran smiled as if she agreed with her manager. “Indeed, her luck is indeed very good.”

At that moment, Su Yueran’s phone rang. Su Yueran took a look and resisted. However, she quickly hid her expression.

Half of the message hidden by her sleeve was revealed. It said, “If you don’t succeed, get back here.”

At that moment, the car had already arrived at the red carpet area. Su Yueran hid the suppressed emotions in her eyes and deleted the message. Then, she handed her phone to her manager and tidied her hair before getting out of the car elegantly.

Countless flashes and cheers instantly surged towards Su Yueran. She smiled and greeted everyone.

Su Yueran was wearing a stunning dress from the Heart of the Sea. The huge dress was filled with shiny diamonds and had been carefully styled for the entire day.

The current Su Yueran had her own unique beauty.

Whether it was the venue or the live-stream, everyone was praising her crazily.

Su Yueran walked leisurely onto the red carpet.

When she reached the end of the red carpet, she suddenly heard a louder scream behind her. Su Yueran turned around and saw a familiar black Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.

A tall and slender figure walked out of the car. Even from so far away, one could feel his aura that suppressed everyone.

The figure got out of the car but did not leave immediately. Instead, he placed his hand in front of him and brought Xia Wanyuan out of the car.

From Su Yueran, she could see that Xia Wanyuan was not wearing any especially eye-catching gown. She was even wearing very little jewelry, except for a thin diamond necklace on her neck.

But even so, Xia Wanyuan was still unbelievably beautiful.

It was still that extremely special beauty that could make people notice her in the crowd.

Jun Shiling walked beside her and was carefully holding her waist, as if she was some fragile glass.

Su Yueran had always been extremely calm, but at this moment, she could barely manage her basic expression. Jealousy flashed across Su Yueran’s eyes.

The nails she had meticulously made for the entire day were almost broken by her.

The flames in Su Yueran’s heart were not only because of Jun Shiling.

There were many outstanding men. Su Yueran was not an infatuated person. She liked Jun Shiling, but this love was not enough to make her lose control.

What made her lose control was the light on Xia Wanyuan that had everyone’s sincere love.

It was as if at this moment, even though she was the most well-dressed person present, the person everyone truly liked was Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan was protected in Jun Shiling’s arms like a world treasure.

She could even feel it.

When she entered just now, the fans’ cheers were mostly because of her gorgeous appearance and beautiful face.

However, at this moment, the fans looked at Xia Wanyuan with true love and appreciation. That distance was completely different.

Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Xia Wanyuan was good-looking. A group of fashion bloggers had long been waiting in front of the television to see Xia Wanyuan’s fashion combination and guess the fashion trends of the next quarter.

However, when Xia Wanyuan really appeared, everyone’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

CEO Jun, aren’t you going a little too far? Xia Wanyuan was already wearing a lot, and Jun Shiling had even wrapped her in a suit jacket, making it impossible to see her at all.

“I’m speechless. All the fashion bloggers in the entertainment industry are waiting for Xia Wanyuan to appear, but what they’re waiting for is a person wrapped in a suit. CEO Jun, you’re too much.”

[Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Everyone is waiting to see a beauty. CEO Jun hid the beauty very domineeringly.]

[ This is probably the trouble of having a peerless beauty. This is the reason why I don’t marry Xia Wanyuan. See? If I marry Xia Wanyuan, I will definitely be afraid every day. Fortunately, I didn’t marry her. ]

[The person in front, can you dream less? Is that a problem of you not wanting to marry her? Why don’t you see if you can marry her?]

With Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan’s entrance, the atmosphere in the entire venue and live-stream became lively.

In the hall, as everyone sat down, the lights gradually dimmed. Only the stage was still lit.

At this moment, a figure walked in from the back door of the hall.

Xiao Wang waved at Xuan Sheng. “CEO Xuan, here.”

Xuan Sheng walked over and sat in the corner.

Looking up, he happened to see Jun Shiling helping Xia Wanyuan lift her skirt. Xia Wanyuan smiled at him, and his heart ached.

Xiao Wang, a straight man, could not bear to look at Xuan Sheng’s expression. He handed a bottle of water to Xuan Sheng, wanting to divert his attention, but Xuan Sheng’s gaze never left Xia Wanyuan.

“She’s very beautiful today too,” Xuan Sheng muttered to himself.

Xiao Wang’s heart ached. “CEO Xuan.”

“Alright, there’s no need to say anything else. Go out first. I’ll call you when I leave.”

“Yes.”

Xuan Sheng swallowed his saliva. He knew what Little Wang wanted to say.

He also knew that there was no saving him.

But that was it. He did not need any medicine or anyone to know.

It was enough as long as he could see her from afar.
