Chapter 9 Sorry, My Heart Belongs to Another

They went to a fairly famous restaurant in the Capital.

Yang Miaomiao brought her boyfriend Gu Lei and Shi Shuo, who came to eat for free together.

"Let me introduce him to you. This is my boyfriend, Gu Lei. The one next to him is Shi Shuo, a good friend of Gu Lei's." Yang Miaomiao took his hand and introduced him to her friends generously. "You don't mind, do you?"

Gu Lei, who was being held by Yang Miaomiao's arm, was wearing a popular down jacket. His face was full of recklessness.

Ten-odd women present looked at Yang Miaomiao and Gu Lei, shook their heads, and smiled. After all, it was Yang Miaomiao who had treated them to such a high-end restaurant. No matter how many people Yang Miaomiao brought, they would not mind.

After all, everyone knew that Yang Miaomiao was a wealthy person. She lived in the upscale community of Jindu No. 1, where every inch of land was valuable. Her parents were also businesspeople, so she was undoubtedly a rich girl.

No one would be stupid enough to argue with a rich girl about such things.

Besides, who wouldn't like to eat and drink for free?

Su Liyang sat quietly in the corner, watching the people present praise Yang Miaomiao against their wills. She only found it funny.

"Oh, Miaomiao, you and your boyfriend are a perfect match."

"Yes, they are simply a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."

"No wonder our Miaomiao, even when looking for a boyfriend, has such good taste. We are really envious of you."

"Yeah, I'm really envious. Come on, let me drink a toast to you."

....

Su Liyang was so engrossed in watching the show that she didn't notice that Shi Shuo, who was sitting next to Gu Lei, was staring at her.

After a while, all the dishes were served. Everyone began to talk about some strange gossip while eating the specialties of this restaurant.

"I heard that someone will be arranged to dance solo next month. Do you know?"

Someone at the table suddenly spoke up, causing everyone to look at each other and shake their heads.

Yang Miaomiao elegantly swayed the wine glass in her hand, seemingly lightly asking, 'Where did you hear this rumor? Is it reliable?'

"Hey, that's not a rumor." The girl named He Qiu on the table shook her head and said seriously, "I heard from my dad. He is going to be in charge of the theater in a while, so that's true."

Hearing what He Qiu said, Su Liyang could not help but feel her heart skip a beat.

Everyone shook their heads to show that they didn't know about it.

"Hey, it seems that the chief didn't tell us."

"Yeah, I don't even know. Chief Li didn't even tell us."

He Qiu smiled, picked up the coconut milk in front of her, and took a sip. "She probably didn't have time. After all, the notice was just issued this morning, and my father just sent me a text message after work. Or maybe She was too busy to tell it."

When the others heard what He Qiu said, they all began to think. "Maybe, I suspect that Li Yuefei was so busy that she forgot."

"But it's a little strange. This is a big deal. After all, it's a solo dance. It takes much time to practice. How can the chief forget it?"

Just when everyone thought that Li Yuefei was so busy that she forgot to tell them such big news, Yang Miaomiao, who had been holding her boyfriend's wrist and pretending to be sweet, said,

"I don't think she will forget such a big event."

After saying that, she did not forget to glance at Su Liyang, who was sitting by the side without saying a word. A mocking smile appeared on her face.

Then she heard Yang Miaomiao snort coldly, "Sisters, do you think there is a possibility that the chief has secretly told others? She is afraid that if everyone knows they will fight for this opportunity."

As she spoke, she kept glancing at Su Liyang, who was sitting in the corner.

"Ah? No way?"

"How could that be? I don't think she is that kind of person. Such an opportunity should be fair."

"That's right. This is a rare opportunity. No matter what, it should be fair competition. If she really secretly told someone, it is too much."

"Chief Li wouldn't do such a thing. If she does, we might as well complain about her."

For a moment, everyone was dissatisfied with what Li Yuefei did, and the whole table was full of complaints.

Su Liyang who had been silent all this time pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

"Who knows if Chief Li really did that? Anyway, she hasn't told us about it yet," Yang Miaomiao said with a smile. She still felt that it was fun to watch the fun, so she changed the topic. "Hey, by the way, whom do you think the opportunity to dance solo will be given to?"

Everyone turned to look at Su Liyang and then at Yang Miaomiao.

Actually, everyone knew in their hearts that in terms of dance skills, Yang Miaomiao was completely incomparable to Su Liyang. But now they were not facing the issue of who was more capable, but the social etiquette at this dinner party.

Some people who wanted to climb up the social ladder quickly picked up their glasses and toasted Yang Miaomiao, while not forgetting to flatter her. "It must be you, Miaomiao."

"That's right. If Miaomiao doesn't dance solo, who will? I will definitely support Miaomiao."

"Miaomiao is so beautiful and has such a handsome boyfriend. She is also good at dancing. Who else could it be but you?"

Yang Miaomiao liked to see this group of people being so obedient to her. They were like puppies that were always wagging their tails at her.

Yang Miaomiao drank up the valuable red wine in her hand and looked at Su Liyang with a sly smile on her face. Then she said in a strange tone, "I think Su Liyang is more suitable than me. After all, she won first place in the capital dance competition."

Su Liyang just looked up at Yang Miaomiao, who was sitting diagonally opposite her. She reached out to pick up the cup on the table and was about to drink when she was suddenly interrupted by a figure beside her.

Su Liyang turned around and saw that it was Shi Shuo.

Shi Shuo was holding two glasses of wine and looking at her with a smile. When he saw Su Liyang looking at him, he handed a glass of wine to her.

Su Liyang did not take it. Instead, she frowned in confusion.

Shi Shuo wasn't embarrassed at all. He placed his glass on the table in front of Su Liyang and said, "Beauty, let me toast to you. You won't embarrass me, will you?"

Su Liyang was so scared by the word "beauty" that her scalp went numb. She looked at Shi Shuo, who was quite good-looking, and sighed in her heart, "How could a young man be so flippant? What a waste of his good look."

After saying that, Shi Shuo gulped down the red wine in his hand.

He looked at Su Liyang, who was still unmoved. He reached out his hand and fiddled with the hair on his forehead narcissistically. He even raised his eyebrows and said, "Beauty, are you really going to embarrass me?"

“...”

Looking at the series of flippant actions of Shi Shuo, Su Liyang pursed her lips helplessly. She knew that he must be stubborn, but she had no choice but to pick up the glass of red wine on the table and slowly take a sip.

Seeing that Su Liyang had drunk it, Shi Shuo grinned and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. "Beauty, my name is Shi Shuo. Can I add you on WeChat"

After taking a sip, Su Liyang felt an itch in her arm. She couldn't help reaching into her sleeve and grabbing it. However, the more she scratched, the itchier she felt. She was not in the mood to pay attention to Shi Shuo, who had asked her to add him on WeChat.

"Beauty?"

Seeing that Su Liyang had ignored him for a long time, Shi Shuo continued, "If it's fine, I can scan your QR code."

The itch on her arm made Su Liyang feel more and more uncomfortable, and her throat tightened involuntarily.

Su Liyang stood up in a panic. Her legs accidentally hit the corner of the table, making a muffled sound, which attracted many people's attention.

Su Liyang smiled at them with embarrassment. She immediately left the private room and went to the bathroom.

She looked at the red lumps that suddenly appeared on her arm, feeling a little annoyed.

Over the years, she had never drunk alcohol, let alone knowing that she was actually allergic to alcohol. She looked at her face in the mirror, which was getting redder and redder. She didn't know what to do.

She turned on the tap in front of her, held the water with both hands, and kept patting her face. The cold water made her sober up a lot.

"Beauty, what are you doing alone in front of the mirror?"

Shi Shuo appeared out of nowhere behind Su Liyang, which startled her, who was still washing her face.

"No, nothing." Su Liyang was so scared that she immediately turned off the tap. She stretched out her arm and wiped her face. Then she patted her chest, turned around, and squeezed out an embarrassed smile at Shi Shuo.

Shi Shuo glanced at Su Liyang, whose cheeks were flushed like a ripe apple. He found her utterly adorable. It crossed his mind to playfully tease her, so he quipped, "What seems to be the matter, my lovely? Has my dashing presence caused you to blush?"

Hearing this, Su Liyang twitched the corner of her mouth. Blush because of you? No way. She was clearly allergic! Was he blind! There were so many rashes on her face!

How could there be such a narcissistic person in the world?

When Shi Shuo saw that Su Liyang did not speak, he thought that she was too shy to say anything after being exposed. As such, he simply took a step forward and pinched Su Liyang's chin like the overbearing CEO in the TV series.

Su Liyang was so shocked by his action that her eyes widened.

Su Liyang blinked her eyes. What on earth is this idiot doing? Did he really think he's a domineering CEO?

Su Liyang hurriedly pulled away from Shi Shuo and slipped to the side.

She cleared her throat and endured her unease. "I apologize, but I already have a crush on someone."

"So what?" Shi Shuo didn't give up. "As you said, you just have someone you have a crush on. He may not like you."

“....”

Su Liyang turned around and rolled her eyes at Shi Shuo, feeling hurt by his words...

Seeing that Su Liyang was determined to leave, Shi Shuo quickly reached out to grab her arm, saying something.

Su Liyang struggled to break free from the tight grip of Shi Shuo on her arm, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great. Su Liyang's wrist was already red from being squeezed by Shi Shuo, but she still couldn't break free.

Right at this moment, Su Liyang caught a glimpse of Shen Yanfeng, who was wearing a black trench coat not far away. The distance between them was very far. Su Liyang was a little shortsighted, but she could tell at a glance that the person must be Shen Yanfeng.

Seeing that Shen Yanfeng was about to go upstairs, Su Liyang hurriedly shouted, "Shen Yanfeng!"

As expected, the man not far away stopped and looked in the direction of Su Liyang.

Looking at the man who stopped not far away, Su Liyang was secretly delighted. She quickly raised her voice and shouted again, "Shen Yanfeng!"

Standing at the stairs, Shen Jiazheng also heard it. He glanced curiously at Shen Yanfeng, who was next to him.

Shen Jiazheng couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Do you know that woman?"

Shen Yanfeng had an operation today, and the person lying on the operating table was Shen Jiazheng's girlfriend.

After the surgery was over, Shen Jiazheng settled his girlfriend and then suggested inviting his brother Shen Yanfeng to have dinner together to express his gratitude. Coincidentally, Shen Yanfeng had nothing else to do today, so he agreed.

But as soon as they went upstairs, they heard a girl shouting Shen Yanfeng's name, making Shen Jiazheng suspect that Shen Yanfeng had secretly become famous behind his back.

Shen Yanfeng glanced indifferently at Shen Jiazheng, who was gossipy. He nodded, "Yes, Liyang."

"Liyang? Is she the girl from the Su family?" Shen Jiazheng was stunned for a moment, then looked uncertainly in her direction and saw the boy standing behind Su Liyang. "There seems to be a guy behind her, why don't you go and see what's going on?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Shen Yanfeng say, "Wait for me." Then he strode quickly in the direction of Su Liyang.

Shen Jiazheng stood still and looked at his brother's flustered back. He thought that his brother, who had not blossomed for thousands of years, was finally going to blossom. As his brother, he could also prepare the money as his wedding gift as soon as possible.
