Pei Yunze’s eyes darkened and his lips turned into a smirk. “How embarrassed was my father?”
Mo Xing’s face tensed and he didn’t dare to speak.
…
After Shen Fanxing’s performance, there were no other highlights.
Old Master Pei left early as well.
The Pei family’s hotel was built near the ocean. The sea breeze was blowing and the sand was soft. Shen Fanxing sat on a long bench and massaged her temples with her slender fingers.
She had forcefully remembered how to play the tune just now. She had heard this tune a long time ago, but she had never really played it before.
She had not used her brain with such intensity in a long time. Now that she had overused her brain, the pain and discomfort she suffered…
It wasn’t something an ordinary person could withstand.
However, to her, this was still okay…
Her shoulders felt heavy as a familiar scent surrounded her.
Lowering her head to look at the blazer placed on her shoulders, Shen Fanxing gave a light sigh.
Bo Jinchuan sat down beside her and tugged her into his embrace.
Shen Fanxing leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She asked softly, “Where did you go just now?”
Bo Jinchuan didn’t reply and held her hand instead.
A cool sensation brushed past her finger, causing Shen Fanxing’s eyes to flutter slowly.
A silver light flashed before her eyes and a diamond ring had materialized on her finger.
That ring was exceptionally exquisite. Five diamonds were embedded and it looked just like a star.
She looked up at Bo Jinchuan in surprise and asked, “This is…”
“Wear it first, in case someone has other ideas.”
There was a tinge of gloominess on Bo Jinchuan’s face. Shen Fanxing had no idea why he had gotten so angry that he had thought of doing such a thing.
“Is this considered a proposal?”
She waved the ring at Bo Jinchuan.
“Will you agree now?”
Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “Do I have a choice? You’ve already put the ring on me.”
Bo Jinchuan hugged her tightly and said, “I’ll give you a grand proposal when we get back.”
Looking at the ring in her hand, Shen Fanxing grinned happily and said, “Previously, I wanted a proposal as an excuse. Actually, this is enough…”
“It’s not enough. What the others have, you have to have it. And I want to give you the best.”
She couldn’t out-talk him.
“You were the one who helped me out at the event today. I didn’t expect to bump Shen Qianrou’s supporters everywhere.”
“I’ll protect you.”
Shen Fanxing paused and the smile on her face deepened.
“Then I’m relieved. You alone can fight millions of her fans.”
“Of course.”
Shen Fanxing laughed at his lack of modesty.
After a while, she asked,
“Who’s that man from Country Y tonight? Do you know him?”
“Yes, he’s an earl from Country Y. We have business dealings.”
Shen Fanxing asked doubtfully, “I think he’s of mixed descent?”
“His grandmother and mother are both Chinese.”
“I’ve heard of him before, but seeing him with my own eyes is quite interesting.”
Bo Jinchuan gave a low laugh and said, “That’s interesting? In the previous four generations, the queen of Country Y was a Chinese woman. After that, the queen’s daughter, Youlaiya, inherited the throne and her husband was a Chinese. After that, she had two children and a daughter. Think about how strong are the genes of us Chinese in Country Y?”
“The current Queen Youlaiya? She actually has two sons and a daughter. Doesn’t she only have two sons? And her daughter is an adopted daughter. Are you mistaken?”
Bo Jinchuan lowered his gaze to hers, his dark orbs shining quietly. “The queen has a real daughter, but I’m not sure if she’s alive or dead…”
