Chapter 639 Unable to hide love
Chapter 639 Unable to hide love
Jiang Huashan's appearance brought the noisy banquet hall into a brief silence, with fireworks as the backdrop, heralding the grand and splendid birth of her eighteenth birthday.
Beauty alone is a dead end, but if combined with any one of the talents it is a king bomb.
Now, she has the fame and status, and the capital to have the status. Her beauty will only enhance her value, just as Shen Jiao has always expected, the treasure will be crowned on the crown.
There was a hint of tears in Shen Zhuang's eyes as he waved at her with a smile.
Jiang Huashan straightened her back, raised her lips and smiled, and walked towards Shenzhuang with an elegant posture.
Shen Lanxi was sitting at the bottom of Shen Zhuang. From his current perspective, he had a vague feeling that Jiang Huashan was coming towards him.
He chose the dress for tonight. From the beginning, he knew that Jiang Huashan would look beautiful in it. Since it was a birthday party, of course she had to look beautiful, but now he felt a little regretful.
The black dress has a great visual impact. She seems to have grown up overnight, wandering between a girl and a woman, both pure and seductive.
It was already quite eye-catching before, but now it’s simply impossible to take your eyes off it.
"Grandpa." Jiang Huashan walked around Shen Lanxi and stood next to Shen Zhuang, smiling sweetly and obediently.
Shen Zhuang's face was filled with relief. "Be good and sit with grandpa."
Shen Lanxi was tactful and quietly moved a seat, and Zheng Song immediately brought a new chair.
As soon as Jiang Huashan sat down, Shen Lanxi felt inexplicably uncomfortable all over and straightened her back silently.
"Xiaohua'er, this is His Majesty, do you remember?"
Shen Zhuang introduced them with a smile. He knew about the unfair treatment Jiang Huashan had received in Country S. He brought it up in public just to get an explanation from the Bai family.
Bai Zhula was somewhat surprised by Shen Zhuang's blatant defense. She feigned indifference and said with a smile, "Precious jewels should be set on a crown. I have a child who would be a good match for her. Is Mr. Shen interested in marrying her?"
If the queen wanted to praise someone, just a few words would be enough to show off, but the first thing she said was marriage, which showed how satisfied she was with the daughter of the Shen family.
The chairman's guests had different expressions. The Shen family and the Bai family were each kings. If these two families got married, who in Country A would be able to shake the Shen family's position in the future?
Shen Lanxi frowned slightly, and her first reaction was to look up at Shen Zhuang's reaction.
Marriages between wealthy families have existed since ancient times. Although he thought it was impossible, he was still very afraid that Shenzhuang would agree. After all, the Bai family was not an ordinary wealthy family, but a royal family.
Grandpa has always put family first, what if?
Shen Zhuang glanced coldly at Bai Mi, who was sitting at the same table, his eyes full of disdain. "Your Majesty, are you talking about this kid?"
Jiang Huashan lowered her head silently. Unlike everyone else, the first person she thought of was someone else.
Bai Mi was swallowing a table full of delicacies. When Shen Zhuang looked over, he had just picked up a piece of squirrel fish. He was so scared that the chopsticks in his hand split directly, and the fish meat slipped out.
"Grandma, please don't hurt me! I still want to live a few more years!"
Shen Zhuang had always looked down on Bai Mi, but he didn't expect this toad to act as if he had suffered a great injustice. The old man's face immediately darkened, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. Xiaohua is spoiled and can't stand the constraints of rules. I'm afraid she is not suitable for marrying up. Besides, I promised my old friend that Xiaohua would never marry far away in this life."
Although he used the word "climbing above his station", anyone could hear that the old man looked down on His Highness the Bai family.
The smile on Bai Laman's face gradually froze. It is said that when beating a dog, you should look at the owner first. Bai Mi is her son. The Shen family spoke so rudely, which was simply too much.
"Mr. Shen..."
Before she could say anything, a pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared in front of her and took away the exquisitely crafted dumplings in front of her.
"..."
Bailaman's forehead twitched with anger. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Eat, eat, eat! How do you know that? Have you never seen food before?"
Bai Mi raised his head from the overflowing food, "I can't help it. The only person I can't refuse right now is the Shen family's chef."
Bai Laman, "..."
The child Bai Zhula was talking about was not Bai Mi at all, so she didn't care at all that Bai Mi was disliked.
The queen was graceful and composed, smiling and explaining, "Mr. Shen misunderstood. The child I was referring to was someone else. Well, everyone has their own destiny and it can't be forced. I just saw that the child liked it, so I made a slip of the tongue. Please don't blame me, Mr. Shen."
Before in the Bai Wang Palace, she noticed that Shen Guiling had some different feelings towards Jiang Huashan. She originally planned to use the excuse of proposing marriage to see if she could make Shen Guiling change his mind, but she didn't expect Shen Zhuang to refuse!
The Bai family is of noble status, and since things have come to this point, there is no need to show any more goodwill.
Bai Zhula glanced at Jiang Huashan indifferently and turned his eyes away calmly.
The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious, with guests chatting and toasting each other. Suddenly, melodious music rose softly like a veil. It was Chopin's "Nocturne in E-flat Major". This gentle and romantic melody instantly soothed all whispers.
Shen Lanxi pulled out the chair, palm facing up, and extended his hand to Jiang Huashan in a very gentlemanly manner.
This was arranged in advance. The opening dance of the night banquet must be started by Jiang Huashan. As the heir of the younger generation of the family, Shen Lanxi is the most suitable person to be Jiang Huashan's dance partner.
Jiang Huashan raised her eyes, a light flashed in the depths of her eyes, and then she placed her fingertips in his palm.
The contact was as light as a feather, causing ripples in Shen Lanxi's heart.
The two of them slid into the center of the dance floor, and the lights seemed to converge for them.
Shen Lanxi held her waist firmly and powerfully, and Jiang Huashan spun lightly, and her black skirt flew up, forming a deep sea dotted with stars.
All eyes were on them.
"Oh my god, I always thought that the Shen family's prince was like the bright moon in the sky, no one was worthy of him, how come he is so compatible with Jiang Huashan?!"
"Don't say it, don't say it?!"
At this time, the little sisters from Siwan were already going crazy.
"Who said Shen Lanxi is an ice sculpture of a snowman? Can a snowman have such charming eyes? Jiang Huashan is definitely capable of great things. My legs are weak just by looking at her. She can even spin around in the face of a critical hit. She is truly an eagle-like woman!!!"
"What are you talking about? Are you worried that the Shen family will kill you and kick you out..."
"Hahaha. Don't mind me. We're childhood sweethearts, so fake orthopedics is even better..."
The circle of little sisters was away from the main table and out of the supervision of their parents. The girls who were supporting their CP dared to say anything and became more and more excited as they spoke.
Su Yun happened to be at this table as well, and even though she tried her best to pretend not to care, she was still influenced by the situation.
She sat in the noisy crowd, watching the two people being chased by beams of light in the center of the banquet.
Shen Lanxi's jawline was tense, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Huashan was almost an uncontrollable stare. As a superior who controlled the overall situation, he certainly knew that staring for a long time was disrespectful and even a weakness, but at this moment he could not control himself.
He could feel something inside him shaking and shattering violently, as if a hot meteorite was thrown into a lake that had been frozen for thousands of years, and undercurrents suddenly surged under the hard ice.
When the last note fell, Jiang Huashan spun on her toes and gently pushed him away, preparing to take her bow. Shen Lanxi was afraid of this loss, so she broke the previous rehearsal and leaned over to grab her waist and pull her back.
At the end of the song, they ended up half hugging each other.
"Clap clap clap-"
There was thunderous applause.
Apart from the two parties involved, the audience at the scene could hardly see any trace of the changes.
Shen Lanxi stepped back and loosened her arms as if nothing had happened. Jiang Huashan then came to his senses and decided to go along with it and continue his farewell performance.
Just as she bent down with her hands covering her chest, Shen Lanxi turned sideways, put one hand on her chest and bowed her head to salute her.
The moment he lowered his head, the amplitude was so small that others could hardly notice it, but for Shen Lanxi, it was a concession that showed he had let go of his arrogance and prejudice.
He already understood what was surging and unable to be expressed, it was the sudden and unexpected heartbeat.
He tried to restrain himself, but every time it backfired. He didn't want to surrender, but his proud head lowered.
Su Yun's fingertips paused slightly, and she accidentally knocked over the champagne beside her.
It’s impossible to hide the look of love in someone’s eyes, and Shen Lanxi didn’t hide it at all.
