Chapter 118: Indifference
When he saw the woman who ambled towards him gracefully, his gaze froze and his grip on the wine glass tightened unconsciously. He stared at her in disbelief.
Shen Qianrou looked up almost at the same time. When she noticed Shen Fanxing, the bashful smile on her face froze instantly.
“Shen Fanxing?”
“Who is she? She’s… so beautiful!”
“Yes, she is so classy!”
“Did you see the gown she’s wearing? That color is uncommon, right? It’s so pretty!”
Shen Fanxing ignored the whispers around her and walked ahead with an indifferent expression.
But Shen Qianrou couldn’t ignore these compliments which had wormed into her ears.
She stole a glance at Su Heng, only to see him staring blankly at Shen Fanxing. His eyes could hardly contain his astonishment.
As she scanned her surroundings, everyone’s attention had shifted to Shen Fanxing as expected.
She pressed her lips tightly, wishing she could crush the wine glass in her hand.
Shen Fanxing was walking towards her and Shen Qianrou suppressed the raging anger coursing through her body. She forced a warm smile on her face.
“Sister, you’re finally here!”
She took two steps forward and reached out to grab Shen Fanxing’s arm. But Shen Fanxing avoided her coldly.
Shen Qianrou’s outstretched hand froze on the spot, and awkwardness appeared on her beautiful face.
Shen Fanxing’s dark orbs shifted slowly as she scrutinized her with an icy stare.
That icy look was bone-chilling.
Su Heng snapped out of his trance and walked over to her. Complicated emotions swirled in the depths of his eyes.
Although he had managed a company for many years, he hadn’t experienced many romantic relationships. However the moment his eyes landed on Shen Fanxing, he was deeply stunned by her.
He had always known that Fanxing was beautiful, but after all these years, he had gradually neglected her.
“Fanxing, you’re… here…”
Su Heng said as he reached out to hold her hand.
He caught a whiff of her faint sweet scent, before the aloof woman in a lovely peach pink gown swept past him with a cold gaze,
Su Heng stood rooted to the ground, and his dashing face had gone stiff.
From the beginning, Shen Fanxing didn’t even spare him a look as she brushed past him coldly.
In that instant, the emptiness and fear in Su Heng’s heart intensified.
Shen Fanxing strode towards the area where the food was. As she walked, peopled moved away to create a path for her.
Xu Qingzhi stood by a dining table and grinned as Shen Fanxing approached.
Xu Qingzhi had been a beauty since she was young. Though she came from a good family, she wasn’t like the other rich young ladies, who were delicate flowers that needed to be cared for.
Birds of a feather flocked together indeed. Like Shen Fanxing, she was strong-headed, a driven businesswoman who possessed intellect and beauty.
But unlike Shen Fanxing, her every gesture and smile had the unique charm of a woman.
As Shen Fanxing approached, Xu Qingzhi beamed at her.
“Not to mention them, even I was shocked by you today.”
As her good friend teased her, Shen Fanxing smiled quietly.
“Could you not use this as a topic? I’m afraid I won’t be able to walk later.”
“Alright! Let’s not talk anymore. Shall we eat something first? Then our stomachs won’t hurt if we have alcohol later.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and they ate as they chatted.
“Brother Heng, Sister is really pretty today, right?”
