Sheng Chenjin's fingers brushed against her collar.
Shi Xinxin was terrified and quickly grabbed his hand, "You... you..."
Sheng Chenjin gave a charming smile, "Don't worry, I'm just taking off your coat."
"You..." Shi Xinxin was speechless, "If you bully me again, then I won't go up!"
Shi Xinxin threatened.
Sheng Chenjin sneered, "Are you sure?"
"You don't dare?" Shi Xinxin provoked.
Sheng Chenjin snorted, released her arm, and turned to leave without a word.
Shi Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't do anything untoward to her again, otherwise, she would have been very embarrassed...
"Ding!" The elevator reached the top floor.
Sheng Chenjin stepped out of the elevator.
He glanced at Shi Xinxin, said nothing, and left directly.
Shi Xinxin hurried to follow, afraid that if she was a second late, Sheng Chenjin might turn back.
Entering the banquet hall, a few people had already arrived.
"Oh, isn't this Shi Xinxin?" A elegantly dressed socialite walked towards her with a smile, "What a coincidence, seeing you here."
Shi Xinxin greeted politely, "Yes, it's quite a coincidence."
"Hey, is it that easy to see our Chenjin?" The socialite showed a hint of disdain, "I heard Mr. Sheng treats you very well. You should hold onto him tightly, otherwise, if another woman gets there first, it won't be worth it."
Shi Xinxin could hear the mockery in her words but ignored it.
She knew that these words were deliberately spoken to her by this socialite.
Madam Sheng disliked her, and the people in the social circle also disliked her.
That's why she was so eager to leave the Sheng family.
Shi Xinxin looked at Sheng Chenjin. He was in the lounge, holding a wine glass, chatting with several business magnates, seemingly oblivious to her presence.
Shi Xinxin couldn't help but wonder if he would come to her rescue if he saw someone making trouble for her.
Shi Xinxin shook her head, thinking her thoughts were becoming increasingly erratic.
"Shi Xinxin, are you daydreaming?" the socialite's voice rang out, "You country bumpkin, how can you be worthy of being our Mr. Sheng's wife?"
Shi Xinxin collected her thoughts, turned to look at the socialite, and asked politely, "Madam, I have some other matters to attend to now, please excuse me."
As Shi Xinxin walked towards the lounge, she saw Sheng Chenjin leaning lazily against the back of a sofa chair, with his legs crossed, leisurely sipping champagne.
He seemed to sense Shi Xinxin's gaze, looked up, and their eyes met.
"Had enough?"
Shi Xinxin immediately averted her gaze.
Sheng Chenjin curled his lips into a smile, "Miss Shi, come here."
Shi Xinxin looked at his eyes, hesitating whether to go forward.
This man was simply a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Still not coming over, standing there? I don't mind eating you up right now." Sheng Chenjin's gaze turned dark and deep.
His words clearly had another meaning.
Shi Xinxin pursed her lips and walked over.
Sheng Chenjin pulled Shi Xinxin's wrist and directly pulled her into his arms.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Shi Xinxin was flustered and struggled with all her might.
"Shh... Be quiet." Sheng Chenjin lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Shi Xinxin was stunned for a moment before she reacted, trying to push him away, but his strength was too great, and she had no power to resist.
Sheng Chenjin hugged her slender waist tightly.
Shi Xinxin tried to kick him with her knee, but he easily dodged it.
Sheng Chenjin lowered his head, his warm nose tip brushing against her ear, and gently blew air, "Be good, I'm just hugging you."
Shi Xinxin didn't believe him and struggled more fiercely.
Sheng Chenjin frowned, extended his finger, pinched her chin, and lifted her face, "Stop moving, otherwise, I'll have to kiss you."
"Bastard!" Shi Xinxin cursed.
A faint smile played on Sheng Chenjin's lips, "Oh? Miss Shi, there's more than one man here. Are you sure you want to humiliate me in front of everyone?"
Shi Xinxin shut her mouth, not daring to speak further.
Shi Xinxin cursed Sheng Chenjin a hundred times in her heart, wishing she could tear him to pieces.
Sheng Chenjin let go of Shi Xinxin and placed her to the side to sit properly.
Shi Xinxin grumbled discontentedly, "I just avoided you for a bit, is it necessary to be so petty? I thought you were a gentleman..."
Sheng Chenjin's mouth twitched violently.
He looked at Shi Xinxin, "I don't mind if you scold me a few more times, but Shi Xinxin, remember your status."
Shi Xinxin rolled her eyes at him.
Sheng Chenjin stopped teasing her and stood up to mingle with the surrounding guests.
Shi Xinxin had nothing to do while sitting, so she also stood up.
Sheng Chenjin exchanged a few pleasantries with several business leaders, then turned around and saw Shi Xinxin standing there with a bored expression.
Sheng Chenjin frowned slightly, "What, you want to come with me?"
Shi Xinxin rolled her eyes, "Do you think I want to? Isn't it because I'm worried you'll be snatched away by someone else?"
Sheng Chenjin's mouth twitched, wearing a helpless expression.
"Miss Shi, are you cursing me to be snatched away?"
"Hmph."
Sheng Chenjin said no more, and led Shi Xinxin to the group of magnates.
"Everyone, this is the newly hired designer, Shi Xinxin. I hope you'll all take good care of her," Sheng Chenjin introduced.
The magnates all stood up, shook Shi Xinxin's hand, and said, "Nice to meet you, please take care of us in the future."
"Thank you, gentlemen, I will work hard," Shi Xinxin smiled sweetly.
Sheng Chenjin looked at Shi Xinxin, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, "It seems my secretary has shown extraordinary abilities in front of you all!"
The magnates laughed upon hearing this.
They were all experienced businessmen and could naturally see that Shi Xinxin and Sheng Chenjin had a close relationship.
"Mr. Sheng, please don't exaggerate! How could I have any abilities?" Shi Xinxin quickly clarified.
Sheng Chenjin remained noncommittal and turned to the magnates, "Alright, gentlemen, I'll be going now."
The magnates all nodded.
Sheng Chenjin turned to leave.
He took a step, then suddenly remembered something and turned back.
"If you find it too boring, you can leave first," Sheng Chenjin whispered to Shi Xinxin as he walked over.
Shi Xinxin nodded and turned to leave.
After she left, one magnate said to his assistant, "That girl is quite good."
Another magnate laughed, "Good at what? She's pretty, but she has a bad temper and no manners. She'll probably suffer in the future."
Another magnate glanced at Sheng Chenjin and said, "Why doesn't Mr. Sheng discipline her?"
Sheng Chenjin said calmly, "This is my private matter, and no one needs to worry about it. If any of you are interested in her, why not try to pursue her?"
The other magnate immediately shut up, smiling sheepishly.
