Chapter 696 - 692: Don’t Pretend to be Innocent in Front of Me
——————
Fan Hongshan’s face was reddened and agitated.
She really hadn’t expected Yan Jinxian to dare such an outrageous act! It was simply... bringing shame not only upon herself but onto another’s rightful wife!
Afraid that Yan Jinsu would truly become angry and cause a reckless commotion, embarrassing both families, she hastily tried to guide the pregnant woman back to her seat.
With Xie Jingzi present, her discomfort eased.
Yet, unexpectedly, when Xie Jingchen sensed his beloved wife’s change of expression, his own face darkened and he immediately stood up, saying "Excuse me, I must leave for a moment," and hurriedly left the table.
Zhou Zhenghui, seeing this, felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and ceased his conversation, his gaze first darting to his little woman who remained safely in her spot, maintaining a light smile while accompanying the elders and guests.
Once assured she was unharmed, his eyes swiftly followed Xie Jingchen’s steps. Before he could fully grasp the Third Sister-in-law’s situation, he saw that the wife of his cousin Zhou Yizhou was in trouble!
Xie Jingchen, a special forces soldier, how could he be easily plotted against?
He deftly sidestepped the approaching crowd, avoiding being ’accidentally’ crashed into by the well-prepared Yan Jinxian, which also involved an unwitting maid who nearly smashed a tray of expensive foreign wine. Fortunately, Xie Jingchen’s quick reflexes saved the day by steadying the server’s shoulders.
