Chapter 181: Haunted by dreams
She didn't know how much time had passed, the hustle and bustle around her gradually became blurred and distant, until a warm hand gently patted her shoulder, and at the same time a familiar and low voice came to her ears: "Let's go."
This is Chen Jin's voice. Although the tone is flat, it carries a power that cannot be ignored.
Su Yanqing suddenly pulled herself out of her thoughts, nodded vigorously to show that she understood, then turned around and followed him into the luxurious gate.
Xiao Chuyi saw all of this happening!
Seeing his beloved being so intimate with another man, he felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by something, and then, his body rushed towards that direction without his brain's control.
Because Xiao Chuyi's movements were too sudden and violent, he almost knocked down a group of reporters who were interviewing him nearby.
The reporters closest to him lost their balance due to this sudden action and swayed violently, almost falling to the ground.
After realizing his own recklessness, Xiao Chuyi hurriedly stretched out his hands to support the reporters who were about to fall.
When he looked up into the distance again, the figure that was once clearly visible had already disappeared from his sight.
Su Xiyao's slightly concerned voice came from beside him: "Ayi, are you okay?"
However, at this moment, Xiao Chuyi's mind was full of the scene just now. He had no time to think about it and subconsciously shook his head, trying to calm himself down.
"Everyone, please give way."
Facing the crowd gathered around him, he tried to remain calm and said, "Let's go upstairs and talk in detail."
Soon, all the media workers present tacitly stepped back and made way for the gentleman who was obviously in a bad mood to pass through unimpeded.
Just like that, with Xiao Chuyi holding the beautiful woman's slender waist tightly with one hand, the two of them slowly walked into the hotel building.
"By the way, Ah Yi, Madam Chen will be attending the banquet tonight."
After entering the elevator, Su Xiyao reminded softly.
Hearing these words, the big hand that was holding his lover's waist tightened slightly, but the words he responded with were very concise and cold - just a simple nasal sound as a reply, "Hmm".
Sensing the other person's strange reaction, Su Xiyao cautiously moved closer and continued softly, "Although the day for me to officially return to the Chen family has not yet arrived, Old Madam Chen has agreed to let me meet several important figures in the family first...
Can you go with me?"
Although Xiao Chuyi was obviously still distracted by what he had just seen, he finally forced a smile and agreed, "Okay."
In the magnificent hall, flower decorations can be seen everywhere, and the colorful flowers are dazzling; a huge family photo is hung opposite the entrance, and everyone in the photo is smiling, as if foreshadowing the wonderful moments to come.
In the photo, Su Xiyao smiled like a beautiful flower, blooming the brightest smile in the sun, while Xiao Chuyi looked as calm as water, as if not even a trace of a smile was left on his face.
Su Yanqing looked at the photo and stood there motionless as if she was frozen, with complex emotions surging in her heart that could not be calmed for a long time.
"This lady?"
It was not until a hostess in a neat uniform and with a gentle smile called out softly that Su Yanqing slowly came back to her senses. She trembled slightly, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
The etiquette lady maintained her friendly demeanor. She looked directly at the dazed Su Yanqing and asked in a very gentle voice, "Are you and this gentleman also here to attend the engagement party hosted by Mr. Xiao and Ms. Su today? I heard that many important guests have been invited to this party."
Seeing this, Chen Jin, who was standing by, gently put his arm around Su Yanqing's slightly trembling shoulders and tapped her thin but soft shoulders twice with his fingers, as if to comfort her and remind her to pay attention to the current situation.
Feeling the concern of the people around her, Su Yanqing slowly pulled herself out of her thoughts, nodded, and said the word "Yes" in a weak but firm voice.
Seeing this, the hostess, who always maintained a professional smile, immediately moved slightly to the side and made a very polite gesture towards the two guests - a gesture of invitation, while gently saying, "In that case, please follow me. We will go to the venue now."
In this way, Su Yanqing followed the girl who led the way in front, and Chen Jin who had been silently accompanying her, and headed towards the elevator waiting for them not far away.
At about the same time, Xiao Chuyi and his fiancée Su Xiyao hurriedly walked through the spacious and luxurious gate and entered the hotel.
He kept looking around, his eyes searching quickly among the crowd, as if looking for someone in particular.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, Xiao Chuyi finally caught sight of the figure that had been haunting him, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He wanted to rush forward immediately, but was accidentally pulled by Su Xiyao, who was busy taking photos with several reporters.
Fortunately, he also discovered a detail, that is, the elevator that Su Yanqing just entered was the direct passage prepared for today's special event. This immediately ignited hope in his heart - perhaps there was still a chance to meet her!
the other side.
The elevator started slowly, sending the people inside slowly upwards.
At this time, three people were standing in this small space: Su Yanqing with complicated emotions, Chen Jin who was observing carefully, and the etiquette lady who was performing her duties diligently.
After glancing at Su Yanqing, Chen Jin turned to the professional service staff standing before him and asked meaningfully, "I wonder how important today's engagement celebration is to the bride? I've heard that this five-star hotel occasionally hosts social events like this, but such a large-scale arrangement is quite rare, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Miss Etiquette smiled slightly, then turned to look at the questioner and replied, "These were all arranged personally by Mr. Xiao for today's special occasion to ensure that everything can be presented perfectly."
"Xiao Chuyi?"
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Then he tilted his gaze slightly in Su Yanqing's direction, "He's usually very busy, with so many things on his plate, but he still noticed these little details?"
Seeing how casual and natural Chen Jin seemed when talking about Xiao Chuyi, the etiquette lady couldn't help but have a misunderstanding, thinking that the relationship between the two was very good, so she couldn't help but continue talking.
"Really? Mr. Xiao is incredibly kind to Miss Su. He arranged everything himself, from every detail on the dining table to the overall layout of the venue. He reviewed everything and gave his instructions. Even the photos displayed at the entrance were carefully selected by him."
