Chapter 98 Birthday Banquet

In the foggy bathroom, Li Manrong was lying in the bathtub, watching the lights of the Yuba through the mist.Thinking of the scene just now, he slowly closed his eyes.

Sometimes, Mingming told himself to open his heart to accept Xia Sihan.But my own heart will take a step ahead of the brain and make a choice.As he said, even today, she still hasn't forgotten Shangguan Yanting, not for a moment.

Lower your head and place your whole body in warm water.It seems that only in this way can I become sober.A feeling of suffocation overwhelmed her, but Li Manrong did not struggle.This feeling is very similar to her feelings for Shangguan Yanting.Obviously suffocated, but did not want to survive.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Manrong came out of the bathroom and picked up her phone.I saw above, there was a phone call.His fingertips landed on the familiar number, but he didn't have the courage to call back.

Sighing softly, Li Manrong turned around and walked towards the bedroom.As Shasihan said, if she still can't make up her mind completely, she won't be able to be redeemed.

In the middle of the day, Shangguan Yanting stared at the unusually quiet mobile phone with a tense expression.He couldn't taste the meal tonight.Seeing her by the side of another man was a big blow to him.

Glass after glass, non-stop drinking.He wanted to get drunk, but found himself unusually sober.Ye Lei sat next to him, crossed his legs, and said helplessly, "Since you miss her so much, just call her."

Pushing away the mobile phone he handed over, Shangguan Yanting said coldly: "I don't need anyone's mercy, especially her." After finishing speaking, he continued to drink heavily.

Sighing heavily, Ye Lei looked helpless with him: "Shangguan Yanting, will you die if you lower your posture once in a while? Since you still love her, why didn't you tell her? If you don't want to fight for her, then break up with me." Gotta clean it up."

It was completely broken... Hehe, why didn't he want to.It's just that after trying for so long, I can't forget it.That woman seemed to be deeply rooted in his heart.No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't forget it.

Seeing that he was silent, Ye Lei patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Yan Ting, I already think you are a cold and heartless person. Now I finally understand that you are not heartless, but that you have not met the person you want In this life, you are destined to be planted in Li Manrong's hands."

Shangguan Yanting didn't say a word, but just looked at a certain place with blank eyes.After an unknown amount of time, a deep voice came: "I will try harder to forget, if I still can't forget...she will never escape my grasp in this lifetime."

Hearing this, Ye Lei smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, this is the Shangguan Yanting I know. Whatever you want, you have to grab it anyway."

But in a few days, the person who actually leaked the design was finally caught.It turned out that it was an assistant in the design department who secretly sold the design drawings to the other party's designer at a high price.But this matter is a certainty, and there is no way to undo it.And the assistant was fired directly.

The relationship between Li Manrong and Xia Sihan seemed to go back to the past.Xia Sihan was still considerate to her, without any change.But she knew that there was already a rift between the two of them.

Finally, when it was time to get off work, Li Manrong came to the president's office and said with a smile, "Sihan, you can go."

Xia Sihan picked up the invitation card in his hand and said with a smile: "Accompany me to a birthday party, it's a friend in the business field."

Whether it's his secretary or girlfriend, Li Manrong is obliged to accompany him.Thinking of this, Li Manrong nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go home and change clothes first, and dress up briefly. No matter how I say it, I can't embarrass you."

Pressing her shoulder, Xia Sihan said jokingly: "Even if you go directly like this, you are the most beautiful."

A blush appeared on her cheeks, and Li Manrong said shyly, "You really like making fun of me more and more."

Turning around and hugging her waist, with his chin resting on her shoulder, Xia Sihan said with a smile: "This is what I say from the bottom of my heart."

When Li Manrong came to the scene of the birthday party, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.She did not expect that the protagonist of today's banquet would be... "Man Rong, you are here too, welcome." Ye Lei greeted him with a smile on his face.

The smile seemed a little awkward, and Li Manrong nodded politely towards him: "I didn't expect it to be Mr. Ye's birthday, happy birthday."

Eyes narrowed, Ye Lei pointed out: "You can come, this is the best gift for me."

Li Manrong simply smiled and did not answer.If she knew that today was Ye Lei's birthday, she probably wouldn't show up.What about Shasihan?Does he know the relationship between Ye Lei and Shangguan Yanting?

Taking the wine glass from the waiter, Li Manrong sat down with Xia Sihan. "Sihan..." Li Manrong said hesitantly.

Glancing at her expression, Xia Sihan spread his hands and said, "I didn't know you knew him. It seems that he has a good relationship with Shangguan Yanting, right?"

Li Manrong didn't speak, but hummed lightly.Picking up the wine glass and looking towards the door, Li Manrong felt a little complicated.Shangguan Yanting will come, so...he will bring Qin Zhen with him, right?
Just as she thought, the door opened again.When she saw the pair of figures coming together, Li Manrong deliberately looked away calmly.Xia Sihan held her hand and warmed her hand.

Soon, the banquet became lively.Most of the people present today are younger CEOs, and the atmosphere is easy to get heated.Li Manrong was always standing in the corner, looking out of place in such a lively atmosphere.

At this moment, a young nobleman noticed her presence and walked towards her with a smile. "I met you before, you are Shangguan Yanting's ex-wife, right?" Your son said with a smile, there was no hostility on his face.

Hearing this, Li Manrong replied with a smile: "Hi, my name is Li Manrong." Today, she doesn't miss so-and-so's ex-wife.

Your son's female companion came over, looking at her pretty face, feeling a little jealous.After all, in such an upper-class society, what everyone likes to compare with is nothing more than men, jewelry, clothes, and faces.

"It turned out to be Mr. Shangguan's ex-wife. I wonder how you felt when you saw Mr. Shangguan with his bride-to-be?" the female companion said with a smile.

While they were talking, seeing this scene, Li Manrong's lips were tightly pursed.And Shangguan Yanting also looked in her direction.

The female companion caught the opportunity and said with a light smile: "Miss Qin is really lucky. She can find such a tall, rich and handsome Mr. Shangguan. However, I heard that the two of them are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. A few years ago, I heard that Miss Qin I have been studying abroad, and I just returned to China not long ago.”

Li Manrong didn't want to waste words with her, so she turned around and left, but was stopped. "Miss, I would like to advise you. On this occasion, it is better to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will embarrass myself later."

Li Manrong stopped walking, her brows and eyes curved, Li Manrong smiled brightly: "Thank you for reminding me, but I have no intention of leaving."

Just as she was talking, Xia Sihan came to her side and held her waist affectionately: "What are you talking about?"

When the young master saw him, he jokingly said, "Sihan, I remember that you seldom attend social gatherings, and you were wondering why you came here today. It turns out that you brought a beautiful woman with you. Is Miss Li yours?"

With a natural expression, Xia Sihan smiled gracefully: "Man Rong is my girlfriend."

"You have a good eye, Miss Li is very pretty." Your son said so.

When the female companion heard that she was the girlfriend of Xia Sihan, the president of Shaoshi Group, she felt so jealous. "Mr. Xia, this Ms. Li is a woman Mr. Shangguan doesn't want, I'm afraid she is not good enough for you?" The female companion said leisurely.

The sarcasm came directly into Li Manrong's ears.Clenching his fists, he tried hard to restrain his temper. "If a person knows the temperature of drinking water, don't bother this young lady to worry about it." Xia Sihan replied calmly.

Your son turned down his face, and said displeasedly: "You don't say a word." From Xia Sihan's words and demeanor, your son could see that he cared about Li Manrong.

Not wanting to cause trouble in her heart, Li Manrong raised her head and said with a smile: "I'll go outside to get some air." After speaking, Li Manrong walked out first.

Just as Xia Sihan was about to catch up, Ye Lei suddenly came over and stopped him: "Sihan, some friends want to meet you very much." Saying that, he dragged him over.

After leaving the banquet, Li Manrong came to the garden in the front yard and sat on a bench.Thinking of what the woman said just now, she felt uncomfortable.As she said, she was the woman Shangguan Yanting didn't want.With such an identity, Xia Sihan would be talked about and gossiped, right?
Sighing heavily, Li Manrong drooped her head depressedly. "It's really troublesome." Li Manrong let out a long sigh of annoyance.

Suddenly footsteps came from behind her, Li Manrong turned her head, and saw Shangguan Yanting had appeared behind her without anyone noticing.Seeing him, Li Manrong instinctively wanted to hide.

Just stood up, but saw him order: "Sit down."

Li Manrong didn't speak, but sat down obediently again.Looking up at him, Li Manrong remained silent.

"Say, why didn't you call me back." Shangguan Yanting asked coldly.

Telephone?Li Manrong looked at him in confusion, then remembered the call that night. "I was taking a shower at that time." Li Manrong said so.

"Why didn't you come back after taking a bath?" Shangguan Yanting followed closely and asked.

Seeing him being aggressive, Li Manrong suddenly chuckled, and asked back: "Mr. Shangguan, don't you think it's inappropriate for a groom-to-be to ask other women about not answering the phone?"

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yanting replied calmly, "No."

This face... is really not covered.Li Manrong cursed in her heart, stood up, and walked past him, but he grabbed her wrist. "Why? Let go." Li Manrong frowned and said displeasedly.

"Answer." Shangguan Yanting said calmly.

The moment he saw her, he knew that all his efforts were bullshit.He can't let go of this woman, and in that case, don't even think about running away.
