Chapter 926 - Irritation (1/2)

Chu Lui and Xia Yixuan’s engagement was huge. Everyone who was somebody in the city was there. Xia Mingzheng stood by the side and greeted the guests, clearly in a good mood. Even though Shen Yijun’s expression was stiff the whole time, there was still a smile plastered on her face.

Despite this being Chu Lui’s third marriage, that did not affect how popular he was; neither did it affect his status. They would be loads of unmarried women throwing themselves at him even if this was his fourth, fifth, or sixth marriage.

Xia Yixuan wrapped her arms around Chu Lui’s arm possessively as she smiled sweetly. She was dressed to the nines today. A knee-length white dress wrapped around her fit body, coupled with her high heels and jewelry. She accepted all the women’s well wishes and welcomed their envy and schemes.

She heard the people congratulate her and enjoyed them buttering up to her. She also heard others’ envious words.

Her red lips were parted as she beamed.

Lu Jinrong stood by the corner and stared coldly at the couple. He picked up a glass of wine and touched it gently as he smiled coldly.

…

Xia Ruoxin flipped through the business magazine introducing the union between the Chu Enterprise and the Xia household. There was also a live stream of the engagement. Chu Lui remained expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking. Xia Yixuan had a big smile, her carefully farded face beaming with pride. As Xia Mingzheng talked to others happily, Shen Yijun was a little distracted. Xia Ruoxin’s gaze landed on her for a moment before she looked away.

Only Chu Jiang was present on behalf of the Chu family. As for Song Wan, she was still paralyzed so she could not be present of course.

“Why are you still looking?” Gao Yi walked in and took the magazine from her hand. He scoffed when he saw the contents. “En, engaged again. He’ll take even a woman like Xia Yixuan. He’s got a unique taste.”

Xia Ruoxin had no comment for that, but she did not like the magazine. She took it from Gao Yi’s hands and tossed it in the trash.

Gao Yi took the medicine and a glass of water.

“Time to take your medicine.”

Xia Ruoxin took the handful of medicine and put it in her mouth. The bitterness of the pills filled up her taste buds. She closed her eyes, took a huge swig of the matter, and swallowed them.

She suddenly smiled. It’s so bitter.

Unknown to her, the corners of her lips were hurt slightly; and tears slipped out of her eyes.

…

Chu Lui opened the door. Song Wan was still lying down quietly like before. He walked over and held her hand tight habitually. “Mom, when are you waking up? I got engaged today. It’s the Xia Yixuan that you like. Didn’t you want me to marry her back then? Mom, I’ll agree to it. I’ve done it. What about you? When are you going to wake up?”

He turned himself towards the window. A world blocked by the window, a soul trapped in a body.
