Chapter 26: Stunning

The door lock turned gently, Rong Heng pushed the door open, and saw her tearful eyes. He was surprised, but then he kindly reminded her in a low voice.

"Ms. Cen, it's about to start, please get ready."

He pointed at Cen Xia's face.

Cen Xia's tense mood relaxed, and she reached out to quickly wipe away her tears, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Watching him close the door, Cen Xia didn't care about being sad.

Father Cen's worried voice came from the receiver.

"Xia Xia, what's wrong? Did you hear me just now saying that you ... "

"Dad, I have something to do. I'm fine, don't worry. This is an external call. Don't call me again. Remember, don't call me. You and mom take good care of yourselves and wait for me ... wait for me to come home."

"Hey, mom and dad are waiting for you to come back."

Listening to the expected voice, Cen Xia hung up the phone and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

Quickly ran to the bathroom.

I picked up my small bag and started to touch up my makeup. Fortunately I brought it with me.

Those were the things Chi Jinyan bought for her last time when she asked Mo Ran to cover her wounds. She didn’t have these things herself.

She tried hard to keep a good mood.

There was no time to think about what Dad meant.

The Cen family's parents had worried looks on their faces, and the mother was crying inconsolably.

Father Cen comforted his wife, and finally he couldn't help it and they hugged each other and cried loudly.

－－

Chi Jinyan was talking with Lin Lang downstairs. He was a little dissatisfied with Cen Xia's lateness, but he didn't show it on his face because Lin Lang was watching him beside him.

I kept glancing upstairs out of the corner of my eye.

This slight expression could not escape Lin Lang's sharp eyes.

Finally, a black dress came into view.

Chi Jinyan seemed to have never seen her dressed so exquisitely. The black dress made her skin look even whiter, but her face revealed an inexplicable sadness.

Cen Xia walked down slowly with stiff steps.

But in Chi Jinyan's opinion, she did it on purpose to attract attention.

He threw away the admiring attitude he had just had, and all the dark clouds were hidden in his black eyes.

Someone downstairs was whispering about the beautiful woman on the steps.

Chi Jinyan looked at Lin Lang inadvertently.

The man looked at Cen Xia on the stairs with a smile, which was an obvious covetousness in Chi Jinyan's eyes.

He gripped the wine glass tightly and looked closely at his so-called 'wife' once more.

A black skirt, a slim figure, short black hair, and no decorations, yet she looks stunning.

It reminded him of the saying "The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any decoration."

I kind of regret bringing her out.

At this time, two people on the other side were also looking at her.

Mo Ran and Mo Yongxiu beside her.

When she was about to take the last few steps, Cen Xia noticed a naked gaze.

She looked in that direction.

Mo Yongxiu, the owner of Xingchao.

She was so startled that her feet slipped.

Her body fell forward uncontrollably, and Lin Lang was the first to reach out and grab her.

When Cen Xia reached out his hand to the front, he was held tightly by another hand.

You don't need to look to know who the other unfriendly pair of eyes are.

Before Cen Xia could speak, Chi Jinyan said , " Thank you, Mr. Lin."

He just followed Cen Xia's eyes and looked at Mo Yongxiu, and someone took advantage of the opportunity and came into contact with his "wife".

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Lang nodded to Chi Jinyan.

Chi Jinyan squeezed her hand tightly, pulled her back easily with one effort, and held her with the other hand like he was protecting his prey.

The fragrance from her body rushed into Chi Jinyan's nostrils as she swayed, carrying a hint of sweetness.

This reminded him of Gu Xia, and he unconsciously tightened his arms around Cen Xia.

"Thanks, Mr. Lin. Be more careful next time."

Cen Xia frowned in pain and tried to push away.

The blisters on his armpits caused by burns were just popped by Chi Jinyan.

But in Chi Jinyan's eyes, this meant that she didn't want to get close to him at all, so he clenched his hands even tighter.

A woman who tells lies all the time should be locked up and disciplined.

Cen Xia helplessly whispered to him , " Chi Jinyan, you hurt me."

Seeing her sincere face, Chi Jinyan let go of her hand as he was told.

This fall became the focus of the whole audience.

Taking this opportunity, Chi Jinyan pulled her and walked onto the stage, looking at Lin Lang, and introduced Cen Xia, his wife.

This move was not in his plan.

The people in the audience applauded to show their welcome, and talked about it, praising the talented couple.

He then introduced Lin Lang and welcomed him to cooperate with Chi Group.

Mo Yongxiu looked at the jumping black elf crashing into Chi Jinyan's arms, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Master Chi has a good eye. Madam Chi is truly stunningly beautiful. She doesn't look like the shabby type as rumored. On the contrary, they are a perfect match."

He said this on purpose, and sure enough, Mo Ran's face was distorted with anger. He felt so happy seeing that.

As the owner of an entertainment city, how could he not know that Chi Jinyan's wife was in name only, but that was all. He knew even less than Mo Ran.

"But ... I think I've seen her somewhere."

The voice in my ear rang again.

Mo Ran looked at the lecherous man beside her, who openly praised other women around her, and was her mortal enemy.

His chest was heaving with anger, and his words were full of complaints, "She is the daughter of the Cen family, Cen Xia, I have reported her identity before, maybe you have seen her on TV, brother, don't forget that you are here to accompany me, how can you praise others."

Mo Yongxiu nodded and smiled, feeling a little disgusted by her address.

Mo Ran didn't dare tell her that Cen Xia was the mysterious beauty in his shop.

Thinking of her dirty identity, the flames of anger instantly died down, and he sneered , " But she is just a figurehead, not even a love rival."

"But I heard that Master Chi was willing to take over the company just for this woman. It seems that they have a very good relationship, not like what you said, sister, who has no feelings for each other."

"Humph, Chi Jinyan was willing to take over in order to take revenge on the Cen family. Grandma wanted to give the position of chairman of the company to Jinyan a long time ago, but he disagreed."

Cen Xia is not often seen in the news in Qingcheng, but she spreads a lot of gossip, discrediting Cen Xia as a wife who is not presentable.

But all of that was suppressed by Chi Jinyan, who also warned her not to do anything that would damage the Chi family's reputation, but the public had a measure of those things in their hearts.

"I'm kindly reminding you, Ranran. As a man, I understand men best. The way Chi Jinyan looks at Cen Xia is like a lover. In short, you should be careful. Don't let your guarding for so many years go in vain."

Mo Yongxiu chuckled. He was not ashamed to be associated with this so-called "sister".

An illegitimate daughter could never legitimately enter the Mo family, let alone become the young lady of the Chi family.

Mo Ran glared at him. Chi Jinyan would never fall in love with this woman.

Yesterday, Housekeeper Rong called her and told her not to show up at Chi Jinyan's villa in the future, as not everyone can order the Chi family's servants around.

After Gu Xia died, Cen Xia popped up, but she was always the one who was always afraid to be seen in the light, and was always abandoned after using tricks.

She was unwilling to give up and was sad all night, so she came up with a plan.

We must take off Cen Xia’s ugly mask and crush this proud rose into the mud.

In order to come here, she begged her father who abandoned her to let Mo Yongxiu take her to the banquet.

She smiled and took a glass of wine from a passing waiter.

"There is a shocking secret waiting for you to expose."

After saying that, he ignored Mo Yongxiu's meaningful look and walked towards the two people who had just walked down the stairs.
