Chapter 247 - 48 Chicken Tang Noodle
Hearing Shen Chi’s address to Zheng Cuicui, everyone looked his way. The Capital’s Upper Layer had long been curious about the young Mr. Han, little seen and much heard about, and naturally, they paid attention upon seeing the man himself.
Low murmurs traveled through the crowd as Zheng Cuicui pursed her lips and spoke softly, "The old lady received an invitation to congratulate her on her birthday, but was stopped at the door."
Following her gaze, Shen Chi’s eyes moved to Rui Xuan.
Seeing him look over, Rui Xuan became excited, her cheeks flushing as she whispered, "Do you still remember me? Last time..."
But before she could finish, Shen Chi’s gaze had already shifted. He naturally smoothed down a stray lock of hair beside Lin Xiaoguai’s ear and asked softly, "Shall we go back?"
Lin Xiaoguai looked up to speak, but was cut off as Rui Ying stepped forward, "Colonel Shen, since you’re here, why not grace us as a guest?" Unsure whether to call him Mr. Han or Mr. Shen, she finally settled on the safer option: Colonel Shen.
Rui Xuan had taken such liberties, and while Rui Ying was itching with annoyance, she had no choice but to clean up the mess.
With the backing of the Han Family and himself competent, letting him just leave like this would be misconstrued by others, even if neither side had intentions of enmity.
