In front, there was a beautiful couple. The man was dressed in a black suit, exuding an air of abstinence. He was holding a tall woman in his arms, looking like a real pair of lovers.
Not only Yong Shanling and Liang Jing but also most of the people at the banquet were all focusing their eyes on them.
Yong Shanling shifted her gaze to the woman in his arms. She was wearing a tender yellow cocktail dress. Such a delicate color made her look even more charming. And the hollow - out design on the back added a touch of sexiness.
"It's too much! How could he hold another woman?" Yong Shanling stood there resentfully. Although the two separated soon, she still regarded this scene as a sign of their guilt.
"That man is no better than me. He's just a bit taller, better - looking, richer, and more serious than me," Liang Jing murmured beside her. Just then, the two people across from them looked up.
Liang Jing quickly winked at Yong Shanling, then led her seriously towards the side.
Yong Shanling immediately showed a bright smile. She leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, looking very intimate.
"Are they looking at me? How am I doing now?" Yong Shanling whispered in his ear.
Liang Jing showed a gentle smile while answering seriously, "You're doing great. Come a bit closer to me."
Han Jinyu, who had accidentally fallen and was helped by Mu Yijie just now, noticed something wrong with the person beside her and wondered, "What's wrong with you?"
Mu Yijie didn't answer. He just had a gloomy face, his hands tightly clenched, and cold air seemed to be radiating from him.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a figure she had been longing for day and night. Her pupils shrank, and she subconsciously took a step forward.
"Jing, is that you?" Her voice was barely audible, but there was a hint of a smile in the corner of her eyes. She seemed to have returned to the purest time.
But the next second, she saw a woman standing beside him. The two whispered to each other from time to time, looking happy. Her heart felt like it was being crawled by thousands of ants, painful and itchy.
Didn't he come to win me back? Why is he with another woman? Has he given up on me?
She was in a complete mess, constantly over - thinking. She had completely lost her previous calmness.
Soon, the host of the banquet stepped forward to give a speech. After some official words, the banquet officially started.
"Pretty lady, would you like to dance with me?" Liang Jing made a gentlemanly bow and invited Shanling.
Yong Shanling subconsciously stole a glance at the couple in front. Seeing that they had already entered the dance floor, she nodded with a smile.
Soon, they also entered the dance floor. Both of them were a bit absent - minded while dancing, while the other couple seemed to be fully immersed in the dance. Their elegant moves and good looks made them the focus of the whole venue.
Yong Shanling watched the well - coordinated couple with a sour and bitter feeling in her heart. Suddenly, she saw the two dancing gradually approaching them. All of a sudden, Mu Yijie spun Han Jinyu out. Then, Yong Shanling felt a tightness around her waist and was pulled into a familiar embrace.
She looked up in surprise and saw Mu Yijie with a gloomy face, staring at her intently. He held her and slowly danced towards the side of the dance floor. When they reached the side, he pulled her and turned to leave.
Yong Shanling could hardly keep up with his pace behind him. She staggered and almost fell. "Don't walk so fast. Why did you pull me away? I was still going to dance!"
Yong Shanling pouted behind him, complaining in her words, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
At this moment, Mu Yijie, who was extremely jealous, didn't notice her expression. He only felt that she was reluctant to leave that man even after he had taken her away. His jealousy boiled even more.
"You're my bodyguard, and it's still working time. You just ran off with someone else. Do you want to lose this job?" He said with a gloomy face and a cold tone.
"But you're not at home for me to protect, and you don't let me follow you. Isn't it my free time then? You have no right to control what I do," Yong Shanling retorted angrily after hearing his business - like tone.
Mu Yijie didn't say a word. He just tightened his grip on her hand and stared at her intently. His eyes were obscure, as if something was churning inside.
"Anyway, we've already broken up. You have no right to control my free time!"
Before she could react, he took her directly to the parking area.
He stuffed her into the passenger seat, opened the driver's door, sat in, and drove off like a madman.
He drove the car extremely fast all the way. Fortunately, Yong Shanling was a cultivator and was already used to such high - speed. Otherwise, she would have screamed.
Even so, looking at the constantly passing vehicles around, she still felt a bit scared. She wasn't afraid for herself but for the people around. What scared her most was the terrifying man beside her.
She had never seen Mu Yijie like this. He was like a wild beast, exuding a dangerous aura that made people not dare to move.
Soon, they returned to the Mu family villa. As soon as they walked in, they saw the old butler coming towards them. The old butler was surprised and was about to say something when...
Mu Yijie directly pulled Yong Shanling into the room and slammed the door shut.
"Shushu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me," Yong Shanling was extremely panicked. She felt a dangerous aura.
"Didn't you say we have nothing to do with each other? I'll make our relationship closer today so that I have the right to control you," Mu Yijie said. Then he suddenly pushed her onto the bed. Immediately afterwards, with a sound...
Yong Shanling's cocktail dress was suddenly torn in half and fell to the ground.
She was so scared that she didn't dare to move. It was not until the dress fell to the ground that she realized what had happened. She struggled desperately to push the man on top of her away.
But he seemed to have lost his mind and ignored her words.
Yong Shanling gritted her teeth and directly used her inner strength to slap him hard, sending him flying.
"Mu Yijie, you're crazy! How did you promise me last time? And now you're doing this to me again!" Yong Shanling said with sobs. Then she walked up to him without stopping, her hands tightly clenched, her eyes full of disappointment.
The words that Mu Yijie wanted to refute got stuck in his throat. He was sobered up by the disappointment in Yong Shanling's eyes.
He stood up in a flurry. "Ling'er, I..."
