Chapter 09: His Prince, Here to Guard
Qi Yue roughly guessed something from Yan Lin’s words.
Shen Kuozhi knows how to design? And his skill seems to reach a level that even professional designers envy?
Most importantly, Shen Kuozhi actually designed it for him.
Although Shen Kuozhi said that this marriage was for his family to see, isn’t he taking it a bit too seriously?
Perhaps it’s the special preference of a big shot? Even in an agreement marriage, one must pursue perfection?
Anyway, it shouldn’t have much to do with him.
After measuring the data, Shen Kuozhi took Qi Yue to Yan Lin’s side to choose the attire for the engagement banquet tomorrow.
On the way back, Shen Kuozhi turned to Qi Yue and asked him in a flat tone, “The banquet will start around ten o’clock. I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow morning around eight o’clock. Is that okay?”
“Sure, thanks for bringing me here, and thank you for your trouble.”
“You’re welcome.”
Their conversation was polite and distant, not exceeding the normal social range.
However, Shen Kuozhi’s hand placed on his left thigh involuntarily tightened, veins protruding, but everything else with his communication with Qi Yue remained as usual.
Qi Yue had now moved to a rented apartment near his university. After entering university, he spent most of his time here.
Qi Yue is now a senior, planning to completely break away from the Qi family. This time he went back to take away his mother’s things.
But who knew there would be such a divine development ahead.
If it weren’t for that absurd dream, he wouldn’t have believed what was happening now.
It’s even more outrageous than the time-traveling in novels.
But Qi Yue went with the flow, keeping a calm mindset, dealing with challenges as they come.
He’s lived for over twenty years, lost his mother at nine, if his mindset weren’t strong enough, he probably wouldn’t have made it this far.
The next day, Shen Kuozhi’s car arrived downstairs on time. When Qi Yue went downstairs in his formal attire, he didn’t expect Shen Kuozhi to be there in person.
He thought picking someone up was something the driver could handle, but it turned out Shen Kuozhi personally drove here.
This time, Shen Kuozhi drove another car, a model much smaller than the Bentley last time.
Since Shen Kuozhi was personally driving, Qi Yue naturally couldn’t sit in the back seat again.
“Good morning, I brought you breakfast.”
Shen Kuozhi slightly turned and handed the bag in the back seat to Qi Yue.
Qi Yue wasn’t used to eating breakfast, but his stomach wouldn’t allow him not to, so usually, he would eat something light and easily digestible in the morning.
Out of politeness, Qi Yue didn’t refuse the bag handed to him by Shen Kuozhi.
Food from others, especially from strangers, naturally wouldn’t suit his taste.
Qi Yue only intended to eat a few symbolic bites, but when he opened the bag, he received his first surprise of the day.
When Qi Yue saw what was inside, his eyebrows unconsciously raised.
Inside was a cup of black rice congee and a small bun, not his usual breakfast, but indeed something he would eat.
The Qi family, almost nouveau riche in the upper-class circle, usually had Western breakfasts in the morning, which Qi Yue couldn’t get used to.
Didn’t expect Shen Kuozhi to be quite down-to-earth?
But Qi Yue immediately thought of Shen Kuozhi’s health; his physique probably had some particular requirements for diet, so having congee in the morning was acceptable.
So, is this just a coincidence?
With this possibility in mind, Qi Yue’s guard gradually lowered.
If Shen Kuozhi was deliberately trying to please him, then he wouldn’t feel comfortable forming an alliance with such a person.
At a red light, Shen Kuozhi quietly observed Qi Yue out of the corner of his eye.
Looking at the person next to him, quietly and obediently eating breakfast, today is their engagement banquet after all. Shen Kuozhi’s gaze softened as if he wanted to engulf the person in front of him.
Yue Yue, this time I’ll protect you.
Upon arriving at the hotel for the engagement, Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi, the two main characters, went to get their styling done.
The banquet started promptly at ten in the morning.
Not only were people from the Shen and Qi families present, but also various figures from the upper-class circles, and even some news media trying to sneak in.
Qi Yue didn’t like this kind of scene, the mingling of cups, various faces, it made him physically nauseous.
But since he had agreed to the marriage alliance with Shen Kuozhi, naturally, he had to keep his promise and act well in this play with him.
Throughout the event, Qi Yue held onto Shen Kuozhi’s arm, his smile almost frozen.
However, considering Shen Kuozhi’s poor health, he naturally wouldn’t be able to handle such scenes for long periods of time. After Shen Kuozhi rested, Qi Yue, who was bound to him, could also take a break.
After taking a walk with Shen Kuozhi, Qi Yue returned to the main table to start dining.
Besides him and Shen Kuozhi, the main table also had Shen’s grandmother, Shen Kuozhi’s older brother Shen Xiting, cousin Shen Mengyu, and those three shameless ones from the Qi family.
Shen’s father and mother were abroad and couldn’t make it back today.
Qi Weixiong finally managed to get involved with the Shen family, so he must seize this opportunity to make his presence felt in front of the Shen family.
Guo Xia was also not to be underestimated, having set her sights on Shen’s grandmother.
In their eyes, this engagement banquet was just a stepping stone to enter the truly influential circles.
Their blatantly ugly faces made Qi Yue lose his appetite.
“Sorry, I need to use the restroom, excuse me.”
Qi Yue leaned slightly towards Shen Kuozhi and said to him.
Shen Kuozhi’s face remained unchanged, but his ears suddenly turned red as if they had a mind of their own.
“Um, do you need me to accompany you?”
“No need, I can go alone.”
Qi Yue only said to Shen Kuozhi, then got up to leave, naturally not seeing Shen Kuozhi’s red ears.
Shen Kuozhi watched Qi Yue’s figure until the white silhouette disappeared from his sight.
Although Qi Yue’s white suit today wasn’t a perfect fit, the style suited him very well.
Today, Qi Yue was his little prince, and in the future, he would always be his own little sir.
“That’s enough, stop staring like that, or you’ll be mistaken for a pervert~”
Shen Mengyu, who was sitting next to Shen Kuozhi, whispered to him.
Shen Kuozhi paid no attention and said matter-of-factly, “You’re just jealous that I have such a beautiful and cute partner.”
“…”
Bro, have you been possessed? Wake up!
Shen Mengyu looked at him in amazement, never expecting his always serious cousin to be like this today.
Even Shen Kuozhi, who usually leads a simple life, could become like this. The power of love is truly great.
Meanwhile, as Qi Yue came out of the restroom, intending to get some fresh air outside, he unfortunately ran into a troublemaker.
“Oh, isn’t this Master Qi Yue? What, did you know our Brother Rui is dining here today? Did you eagerly follow him here to reconcile?”
