My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 510: After modification - 520: Some People Will Be Jealous

Feng Chengyu’s slender fingers slowly passed around her neck and came to her chest. He was so close to her that Shi Yi could even clearly feel the unique aura emanating from the man, which inexplicably made her a bit nervous.

She instinctively wanted to avoid it, but the man’s other hand suddenly exerted force, pressing on her shoulder, "Don’t move!"

The man’s voice was still cold, but Shi Yi felt that there was something different, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on how it was different.

"Alright."

In a daze, the big hand pressing on her shoulder had already loosened. Shi Yi followed the voice and saw that, at some point, a dazzling diamond necklace had appeared around her neck.

Shi Yi instantly understood the man’s intention. It turned out that he was just putting a necklace on her.

Her gaze lingered on the dazzling diamond necklace for a few seconds. Just from the luster of the diamonds, she could tell that the necklace was probably worth a fortune.

Shi Yi turned her eyes to the man behind her and teased with a smile, "Mr. Feng, is this my reward?"

The man’s lips suddenly tightened, and his eyes turned colder, seemingly displeased by her remark. He replied coldly, "If you think so, then so be it."

Saying this, the man ignored her and turned away, heading straight for the mall exit. Feng Chengyu’s reaction surprised Shi Yi a bit. Just now, he seemed to be in a good mood. Why did his face turn into an icy mask again? Did she say something wrong just now?

Shi Yi tried hard to recall. Besides teasing him just once, she didn’t seem to have said anything else. Could this man be so petty that he can’t even take a joke?

Thinking about it, Shi Yi felt a bit depressed. In the future, she’d better not joke around with someone like Feng Chengyu, to avoid making him unhappy. Who knows, he might just lose his temper and shoot her out of anger.

Although they didn’t stay in the department store for long, they were still a bit late when they arrived at the banquet venue. The banquet was held at a famous seven-star hotel in T City, gathering celebrities, industry elites, and politicians from all walks of life in T City.

Shi Yi had just returned to the country not long ago and was not very familiar with these people. Occasionally, she could spot one or two somewhat familiar-looking celebrities and IT industry leaders in the crowd, but as for the others, she did not know them.

Shi Yi stood silently beside Feng Chengyu. When they entered the venue, it caused quite a stir. Feng Chengyu’s tall figure, combined with his half-French bloodline and his imposing demeanor, made it hard not to notice him. Meanwhile, Shi Yi attracted attention completely because of her extremely alluring face.

Actually, attending tonight’s banquet, she had only changed her clothes and tied her hair back. Her makeup was still the same from when she went out this morning, with no touch-ups in between, just to avoid being too conspicuous. But judging by people’s reactions now, she seemed to have failed.

"Who is that man?" A celebrity in the venue looked at Feng Chengyu and asked curiously.

"You don’t recognize Feng Chengyu? You must have been wasting your time in the circle all these years," her male companion said.

"Feng Chengyu?" The female celebrity felt a bit embarrassed, "I haven’t actually seen him before, but I’ve heard his name."

"It’s not your fault. Feng Chengyu has always been quite low-key and rarely appears at such events. It’s quite an exception for him to show up tonight."

"Then, who is the woman beside Feng Chengyu?"

The male companion frowned, "I don’t know this woman either. Speaking of which, Feng Chengyu almost never brings a female companion to banquets. Why is there a woman beside him today? Hmm... This is interesting. But this woman does look really good. Tsk tsk tsk... that charming face and slender waist, no man could probably resist that."

"Do you men all like this kind of woman?" The female companion said with some dissatisfaction.

"Who doesn’t like an enchanting woman? Moreover, a woman who exudes charm to her very core. But since this woman is with Feng Chengyu, we can only look at her."

...

Although Shi Yi had attended numerous banquets before, she was still not used to people focusing their attention on her. Just then, a handsome man in a casual suit, accompanied by a female companion, walked towards them, successfully diverting some of the people’s attention.

The man, with a smile in his eyes, greeted Feng Chengyu, "Yu, why are you so late? The banquet started quite a while ago?"

"Got held up by something," Feng Chengyu replied indifferently.

The man’s tone when speaking to Feng Chengyu was very casual, obviously having a good relationship with him, which made Shi Yi take a few more glances at him. She then remembered that this man was the one she had met at the mountain villa that day. No wonder he looked somewhat familiar.

At the same time, the man seemed to recognize Shi Yi as well. His charming peach-blossom eyes squinted with interest, "Hi, beautiful lady, do you remember me?"

Such a flamboyant butterfly, Shi Yi thought, it would indeed be difficult not to remember him. However, she couldn’t quite recall his name at the moment.

"It seems the beautiful lady has forgotten my name, but that’s alright. Once a stranger, twice acquainted. Let me reintroduce myself; my name is Chu Feng. This time, you must remember my name, beautiful lady." Saying this, Chu Feng extended his hand, intending to shake hers in greeting.

Although Chu Feng gave off the impression of a playboy, he wasn’t off-putting. So, Shi Yi politely extended her hand as well.

But just as the two were about to shake hands, Feng Chengyu, who had remained silent all this time, glanced coldly at Chu Feng’s hand, which was even paler than a woman’s, and said coolly, "Chu Feng, are you very free lately?"

Though it was just a casual remark, it made Chu Feng’s heart skip a beat. He looked up at Feng Chengyu’s face and saw a face of constipation.

As for why Feng Chengyu suddenly put on such an unpleasant face, Chu Feng, being as astute as he was, could understand with just his toes.

He cursed in his heart, damn it, it’s just a polite handshake. Does Feng Chengyu need to be like this? He even threatened him, tsk tsk tsk...

So, he sensibly withdrew his hand, curved his lips with interest, and said to Shi Yi with a smile, "Miss Shi, some people have a strong sense of territoriality. We better not shake hands to avoid making someone jealous and causing collateral damage."

Shi Yi was confused. What did he mean by a strong sense of territoriality?

Moreover, was Chu Feng referring to Feng Chengyu when he mentioned "some people"?

Hehe... what an international joke, Feng Chengyu, being jealous because of her? Impossible.
