After being read, the fake daughter became the group's favorite

No matter who invited them, Jing Yi and Shen Huaichu were both ready to go downstairs.

Jing Yi now really feels that attending a banquet is a very troublesome thing. Every dress she wears is very beautiful, but also very troublesome. Next time she will wear boots and sneakers to the banquet!

Jing Yi looked at the stairs, carefully lifted up her skirt, and prepared to step down.

If her high heels caught on the hem of her skirt when she was going downstairs and she fell down, she would really have no chance to live on this planet.

She was about to walk downstairs when she heard Shen Huaichu's voice from behind her, "Miss Jing, I'll go down first."

Are you going to argue about this?

Jing Yi thought Shen Huaichu was dissatisfied with his slow pace, so he silently gave up his seat and said, "Please go first!" Not a gentleman at all! Jing Yi added another rule to Shen Huaichu.

As a result, Shen Huaichu did not go downstairs, but stood two steps below and stretched out his hand to her.

Jing Yi heard him clearly: "Come on, aren't you afraid of falling?"

At that moment, Jing Yi felt that she was bewitched by Shen Huaichu's face again.

Shen Huaichu is really good-looking, with deep and cold eyes and thin lips without any curve. However, this does not hinder his delicate facial features, but instead adds a unique nobility and mystery.

From this angle, Jing Yi could even see his slightly open neckline and obvious collarbone...

Jing Yi blinked, lowered his head in panic to hide the emotions in his eyes, "It's okay, I can go down by myself." Shen Huaichu still maintained the previous action.

Seeing this, Jing Yi knew that he would not compromise.

She was inexplicably nervous, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she bit her lower lip lightly, and placed her hand in Shen Huaichu's palm.

Shen Huaichu tightened his hands slightly, gently clenched his palms, and his cold fingertips touched Jing Yi's warm fingers.

The people in the hall stood there, watching Shen Huaichu carefully lead the person down the stairs, their expressions frozen with shock.

They were still guessing how long it would take for Jing Yi to be driven down, but in the end, he did come down, and it was Shen Huaichu who was protected and brought down.

After going down the stairs, Jing Yi took his hand back and smiled unnaturally, "Thank you." The warmth in his palm disappeared, Shen Huaichu clenched his hand slightly, put it behind his back, and said lightly, "You're welcome."

On the other side, Shen Xi, who was in shock the whole time, came over and said, "Yi Yi, do you want to eat something?" He had to find an excuse quickly to pull Jing Yi away so that he could interrogate her!

Shen Xi carefully looked at Shen Huaichu's expression, curiosity still evident in his eyes.

Jing Yi was already extremely embarrassed, and after hearing what Shen Xi said, she quickly dragged everyone to the dining area.

Shen Huaichu looked at her back with deep eyes, there seemed to be some other meaning in his eyes, and his hands behind him were still tightened.

"Brother, everyone has left." Gu Lin couldn't help but teased Shen Huaichu.

Even after everyone had gone far away, he was still staring longingly. Was this what his brother meant by 'self-righteous thinking'?

Shen Huaichu glanced at him, "Didn't you say we were going to eat?" Gu Lin pointed blankly to the back, "It's already set up."

They went in completely different directions from Jing Yi. Shen Huaichu looked at the direction Jing Yi left and asked, "Where are they going?"

"It should be the dining area on the other side." His brother wouldn't want to follow him, would he?

Gu Lin looked at Shen Huaichu in shock.

Of course Shen Huaichu couldn't follow him, he just asked casually.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at the people around him who were giving him what he thought were obscure glances, his eyes full of impatience.

"Send it to the deck." After saying that, Shen Huaichu turned around and went upstairs.

Gu Lin was speechless. Why did you come down here? Did you just help Jing Yi downstairs?

The girls who were discussing Jing Yi just now looked at Shen Huaichu walking up to the top deck again, with unwillingness in their eyes.

"Lili, don't you want to give it a try?" The girl raised her eyebrows, indicating that she should go and talk to Shen Huaichu again.

The girl named Lili was the first one to go up to the deck to test it out. However, she was driven down in disgrace before she even popped her head out of the deck.

Feeling mocked, Lili glared at her and said, "Why don't you try?!"

The girl shrugged. "My target has never been Shen Huaichu. I know myself well. I am very grateful to have won over Young Master Gu."

Lili laughed sarcastically, "Do you really think Gu Lin is a cabbage in the market? You can pick and choose as you like! Don't you even look at your own appearance?"

"If you really had this self-awareness, you wouldn't have set your target on Gu Lin!"

The girl seemed to be irritated as well, her expression twisted for a moment, "Hello! I didn't even look at your face, and you laughed at Ren Jingyi for being driven down, but in the end, I was helped down!"

The two were arguing quite loudly, and their friends rushed forward to persuade them to stop, fearing that the two would attract the host of the party.

In the dining area on the other side, the tables were filled with a variety of food, from seafood to grilled meat to colorful desserts.

However, Shen Xi was not interested in this. At the moment, she only cared about why her cousin brought her best friend down here!

At this moment, Jing Yi was busy tasting the food at the party. "That's not holding, that's supporting, it's a gentleman's behavior." Shen Xi didn't care. In her opinion, they were all the same, all physical contact!

"How can they be the same? This can only mean that your cousin is a gentleman. He was worried that the lady's dress would be difficult to wear down the stairs, so he raised his hand to help her down."

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, her face full of doubt. Her cousin? Shen Huaichu? A gentleman?

Who wouldn’t laugh out loud when hearing this?

Jing Yi put down the knife and fork, bared her teeth towards Shen Xi, to show that her teeth were still intact.

Shen Xi looked at her speechlessly, "Perhaps you know that this is just a figure of speech?"

How could Jing Yi not know? But she and Shen Huaichu could only be considered friends at best, and their relationship had just eased a while ago, so why was she making such a fuss?

Okay, seeing that Jing Yi didn't mean that, Shen Xi didn't ask any more questions, but she still felt that Shen Huaichu's attitude was not right.

Shen Xi was stroking her chin with a deep look on her face. Jing Yi forked a small piece of steak and fed it into her mouth.

"Just eat your food, why are you acting like a master here?"

Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, didn't you go and chat with the handsome guy? How was it?"

Jing Yi thought he would see Shen Xi, who was as uninterested as before, but his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Jing Yi was so shocked that he even forgot to eat.

"No way? What does your shy blush mean? Are you attracted to me?"

Jing Yi stared at Shen Xi intently. The more he looked, the more amazing it seemed to him. Is it true that someone could still be alive after talking with Shen Xi?

Now Jing Yi became interested, approached Shen Xi, and began to ask with curiosity what they had just talked about.

At the same time, Shen Huaichu was still on the deck, enjoying the breeze, looking at his palm, slightly dazed.
