99 Precious Benefactor (2/2)

She had been fooled by Nian Zhen in her past life, but this girl had known that Nian Zhen was planning to humiliate her, yet she still carried along with her plan. Dandan could only blame herself for falling into this kind of situation.

Dandan stiffened, her bottom lip trembling as she tried not to cry. ”S—Sorry...I'm sorry...”

”Can your apology fix what you did to my fiancée?”

A bone-chilling voice, filled with an underlying threat, made everyone inside the room break into cold sweat. His voice wasn't loud, but it vibrated with power and command that when he spoke, every head in the room turned.

Lu Shen's tall figure emerged from the crowd, his regal and imposing aura immediately fading those who were around him into obscurity. His black suit drew the attention of some of his admirers, and they quickly realized that it complimented Hui Yin's black dress.

Once again, the two of them had been misunderstood as wearing matching couple outfits.

Fiancée...so she was his fiancée...

Even the infuriated Wang Yong couldn't help but think, Dandan, RIP...

Hui Yin's mouth twitched. He had almost copied word for word what she said to him before in his office. Although she held no sympathy for Dandan, this girl was just Nian Zhen's lackey.

Hui Yin knew how ruthless Lu Shen was, and it seemed overkill for him to punish Dandan for a push that didn't even harm anyone.

Of course, Hui Yin thought that Lu Shen was just like Wang Yong, getting angry for Nian Zhen's sake. He was probably just using her as an excuse.

”Lu Shen, I'm fine. She already apologized.”

Hui Yin linked her arm with Nian Zhen as she spoke, bringing them forward to an area where there was a copious amount of light. It further highlighted their contrasting appearances, as one girl looked as cool as cucumber in her black dress, while the other looked like a drowned cat doused in purple.

”Wang Yong, give your jacket to Miss Nian. She must be feeling cold.”

Hui Yin's words wrested the focus away from Lu Shen and back towards Nian Zhen, making the crowd realize again how dreadful she looked.

Wang Yong flashed a grateful smile at Hui Yin, as he dashed like a shining knight to save his damsel in distress.

His impression of Hui Yin rose up once more, and Wang Yong decided that, after he and Nian Zhen got married, their first child would be named after her, his precious benefactor.
