The charity dinner was held at the most luxurious hotel in the capital, the Yi Palace.

In front of the hotel entrance, there was a red carpet hundreds of feet long lined with fresh flowers on both sides. Media reporters and countless cameras surrounded the two sides.

Celebrities from all walks of life walked down the carpet. From time to time, they would stop in their tracks at the media’s request to show a decent smile so that they could get their photos taken.

Outside the crowd, the Xie family’s car slowly stopped.

Xie Shi’an didn’t get out of the car and turned to look at Sang Qianqian. Compared to usual, she was dressed up today.

Her long hair was tied up, and she had light makeup on her face. Her face was beautiful, but her expression could almost be said to be dull, even empty.

He was even looking forward to appearing in front of the media with her. However, seeing her like this, he still couldn’t bear it.

She had been with Shen Hanyu for so long, but no one had ever known her identity. It was because Shen Hanyu was usually low-key, but also because Sang Qianqian liked to be free and did not like to show her face in front of others. That was why he had protected her so well.

Yesterday’s news only made the media speculate about her identity and appearance. But now, once she got out of the car with him and they walked hand in hand in front of the paparazzi, there was almost no way for her to hide in the future. She had no way out.

“If you don’t want to go, we’ll go back now.”

Xie Shi’an knew what she was worried about and comforted her, “I’ll talk to Ruan Xiaodie. She still has a use for Shen Shaofeng, so she wouldn’t make things too difficult for him. At most, she’ll cancel the previous agreement and won’t let you and Shen Shaofeng talk on the phone once a week.”

“If that’s the case, we’ll be even further away from saving him.”

She couldn’t accept this fact alone. She said lightly, “Forget it, let’s just get out of the car.”

The car door opened and he helped her out. He held her hand and led her onto the red carpet.

Amid the exclamations, the sound of the shutter was accompanied by various questions from the media reporters.

Those questions were basically the questions that netizens had been discussing enthusiastically yesterday. For example, whether Sang Qianqian was Xie Shi’an’s legal wife, whether she was really pregnant, and so on.

The flashes were blinding. Sang Qianqian frowned slightly and tilted her head.

Xie Shi’an raised his hand to protect her eyes, then looked up at the media with a warm smile. “My wife is timid and pregnant. Please don’t scare her. Thank you.”

He didn’t stop like the other guests and quickly left with her in his arms.

Although he only said a few words, he answered the two questions that the media were most concerned about. In addition, his humble manner, sincere tone, and gentle and polite demeanor made him win their favors. The reporters also stopped chasing them to take photos and ask questions. Instead, they turned their attention to the other guests.

The noise behind them finally dissipated. Sang Qianqian followed Xie Shi’an into the hotel and was led upstairs to the VIP seats by the greeters.

Just as they reached the corner of the stairs, they heard a sneer.

A few steps away, Zhen Zhu stared coldly at her and Xie Shi’an. “I didn’t believe it when I saw the news yesterday. 1 didn’t expect you two to be a couple.”

Sang Qianqian’s expression was cold as if she had not heard anything. She lowered her head and continued walking up.

Xie Shi’an’s face turned cold. “Watch your words. You’ll only lose face if you say bad things.”

“Say bad things?”

Zhen Zhu sneered. “Who was the one who was in love with my cousin back then? After my cousin left Beijing for a period of time, he couldn’t stand the loneliness and got together with another man. Not only did she have an affair, but she also got pregnant. Seeing that my cousin was in trouble, she decided to openly reveal her new identity. I’ve never seen such a shameless woman.”

Xie Shi’an was furious. Just as he was about to speak, Sang Qianqian pulled him back. “Let’s go. This is not the place to argue.”

Someone could come at any time. If it was blown up, it would not look good.

He suppressed his anger and glared at Zhen Zhu before continuing upstairs with her.

“You’re scared now? So you also know that the scandals you’ve done are shameful?”

However, Zhen Zhu once again blocked their way. Her voice was sharp and every word was like a knife. “I really don’t understand. How could my cousin be blind to find a promiscuous woman like you…”

“I’m sorry, Miss Sang. She just drank some wine and her mind is not clear.”

A tall man suddenly appeared and covered Zhen Zhu’s mouth in time. He pulled her to the side and made way for them. He said respectfully and politely, “Miss Sang, please.”

It was Tang Bochuan. Sang Qianqian nodded at him and left with Xie Shi’an.

Zhen Zhu was angry and frustrated when she was half-trapped in Tang Bochuan’s arms. She whimpered and struggled, but how could she break free?

He only let go of her when he saw Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian walk up the stairs and disappear from his sight.

Zhen Zhu raised her hand and slapped Tang Bochuan. “How dare you attack me? Whose side are you on?”

In front of Tang Bochuan, she was always very casual. Whatever she wanted to do or say, she did not use her brain at all. She only relied on her instincts.

He didn’t dodge the slap. A few faint red marks immediately appeared on his handsome face.

His tone was also indifferent. “President Zhen was afraid that you would embarrass Miss Sang in public, so he asked me to keep an eye on you. What you said just now was too much.”

“Too much? I only said a few words to her, what she did to Cousin Hanyu was really too much!”

Zhen Zhu was very impatient. “Cousin Hanyu has been looking for her for so long. My grandmother, my father, and my sister can’t forget her. It wasn’t easy to see her today. 1 have to say everything 1 need to say to vent my anger!”

She pushed Tang Bochuan away. “Don’t stop me.”

He didn’t let her go, but he followed the force from her push and pulled her into his arms, restraining her again. “Weren’t you very calm when you fought with Li Zhongjin in the company? Why can’t you control your temper here?” “Sang Qianqian is different from Li Zhongjin. In the past, 1 sincerely called her Cousin-in-law. She cheated so many people’s feelings, so shouldn’t I scold her?”

Zhen Zhu couldn’t push Tang Bochuan away and was furious. “Tang Bochuan, let go of me quickly.”

On the other hand, his attitude was firm. “No.”

She was so angry that she bit his shoulder. He gritted his teeth and didn’t say a word.

Zhen Zhu was angry, but she didn’t relent and increased her strength.

However, she did not know that in front of outsiders, it looked like she was burying her head in Tang Bochuan’s arms, acting coquettishly and intimately. “Yo, yo, what are you doing?”

A mocking chuckle came from behind. “I was wondering why Tang Bochuan listened to you so much in the company. It turns out that he had already used a honey trap..”
