Chapter 23: Let Her Do It

Sang Tian shook her head and took the wine from Mrs. Yu, “Aunt, let me do it.”

There were ten guests at the table, Bo Si had the highest status, so the toast should start with him.

Mrs. Yu led Sang Tian to Bo Si.

Although Bo Si was twenty years younger than Mrs. Yu, they were the same generation in terms of seniority.

If Sang Tian and Yu Feng’s marriage went through, they would have to politely address each other as in-laws when they met.

Thinking of this, Sang Tian chuckled.

Bo Si saw Mrs. Yu coming over and stood up first to offer his congratulations. Sang Tian lowered her head and poured wine into his glass.

He was tall, Sang Tian, at 1.7 meters tall, was very petite in front of him. Standing close, his broad back blocked the light behind him, the shadow fell on her, completely covering her shadow.

His unique cold fragrance filled the air, quietly surrounding her.

Calm, peaceful, it was a familiar scent.

Remembering the days and nights enveloped by this fragrance, she lowered her head even further, a feeling she couldn’t describe welled up in her heart—shyness, annoyance, discomfort…

At this moment, the world around them seemed to freeze, the wine slowly poured from the bottle into the glass.

“Tian Tian! It’s full!”

“Ah?” Hearing Mrs. Yu’s voice, Sang Tian’s hand trembled in fright, she was startled back to reality.

The wine spilled from the glass, flowing like a trickle onto Bo Si’s clothes. The crystal-clear liquid soaked his trousers, slowly spreading.

Sang Tian’s heart tightened, she quickly grabbed a napkin from the table and nervously reached for Bo Si.

Just as her hand was about to touch Bo Si, a white, slender hand suddenly reached out from the side, snatching the napkin in a flash, accompanied by a soft, gentle voice, “It’s okay, I’ll do it.”

It all happened so fast, it was a little unexpected. Sang Tian’s original intention to help wipe it off instantly froze in mid-air. Jiang Wantang squeezed in, Sang Tian tactfully took a step back and made way for her.

As she raised her eyes, she met Bo Si’s cold gaze, he was staring at her intently.

Her heart suddenly jumped, was he blaming her for getting his trousers wet?

The atmosphere around them became stiff.

Everyone knew that Bo Si had a bad temper, when he was angry, he wouldn’t give face to anyone!

Even Bo Zhengrong, the head of Jin City, his elder brother, had to show him some respect.

Although Sang Tian was his niece, if she made a mistake, she wouldn’t be spared.

She was useless, she couldn’t even pour wine properly, and she still wanted to marry into the Yu family?

The people around them started to look at Sang Tian with a hint of mockery, they were all waiting for Bo Si’s reaction.

Bo Si deliberately moved his leg away, avoiding Jiang Wantang’s actions, not letting her wipe it.

His gaze was cold as he looked at Sang Tian, his eyes were like a thousand-year-old glacier, making people shudder.

Sang Tian pursed her lips, her movements were stiff as she stood aside, waiting for him to explode.

“You don’t need to do this, whoever dirtied it, wipes it!” Bo Si’s voice was as cold as iron, carrying a commanding authority that instantly made the atmosphere in the hall tense.

Everyone’s gaze was like a spotlight, focused on Sang Tian. Her face was flushed red like a ripe apple, this was undoubtedly a public humiliation for her.

Jiang Wantang stopped what she was doing, she looked up at Bo Si, and softly persuaded him, “Tian Tian is still young, and she’s a girl, it’s not a good idea to let her wipe it. I’m your fiancée, it’s okay.”

After Jiang Wantang finished speaking, she continued what she was doing, but Bo Si avoided her hand again, his voice was already filled with anger, “I said, let her do it!”

Jiang Wantang had no choice but to give up.

Sang Tian gritted her teeth, she glared at Bo Si. It was just wiping a trouser leg, what was so difficult? She took a few more napkins, squatted down, and gently touched Bo Si’s trousers, wiping the wine away bit by bit.

“Uncle, are you satisfied?” Sang Tian held his trousers, she looked up at him.

Bo Si looked down at her like an emperor, he said coldly, “Even if you wipe it clean, it’s already dirty, these trousers can’t be worn anymore.”

He turned to Mrs. Yu and said politely, “Sorry, I’ll go upstairs and change clothes before I come back.”

After Bo Si left, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze, it took a long time to recover. Mrs. Yu quickly came out to smooth things over, asking everyone to continue with the activities.

Sang Tian stared at the direction where Bo Si had disappeared, a feeling of indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart.

Mrs. Yu comforted Sang Tian, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. Everyone makes mistakes, your Fifth Uncle has a proud personality and is very principled, you don’t need to worry too much.”

Sang Tian nodded silently.

Mrs. Yu keenly noticed that Sang Tian’s mood seemed a little low, so she tactfully didn’t ask her to help with the toasting anymore. Instead, she gently motioned for her to go to the side and rest for a while, and to try some of the food. She then went to finish the rest of the toasting.

When the busy socializing finally came to an end, Mrs. Yu finally had time to notice Sang Tian, who had been sitting quietly in the corner.

At this time, Sang Tian’s eyes were dazed and empty, as if she had lost her soul. Just then, the waiter brought over a carefully prepared dessert and placed it on the table. Seeing this, Mrs. Yu picked up a cup and walked towards Sang Tian, gently placing it in front of her.

She said softly, “Tian Tian, come and try this exquisite dessert, it tastes very good. Sometimes when you’re not in a good mood, eating a little bit of sweets might make you feel better.”

Clearly, Mrs. Yu was quite knowledgeable about the delicate emotions and preferences of girls.

When Sang Tian was in a low mood, she would always choose to comfort her wounded heart with food and enough sleep. Sleeping well was like being able to start over.

Sang Tian reached out and slowly picked up the spoon, then carefully scooped up a small bite of dessert and put it in her mouth, chewing and savoring it slowly. However, she couldn’t taste any sweetness, only bitterness.

“I’ll go greet the other guests first. If you feel tired, you can go upstairs to rest, there’s a special rest room.”

After hearing this, Sang Tian just nodded lightly, indicating that she understood.

After a while, she felt dizzy, her head felt like it was going to explode, and her body gradually became hot, as if her whole body was being engulfed by raging flames.

She couldn’t bear the burning sensation, she reached out and took off her coat, trying to make herself feel a little better.

However, this didn’t help much. Soon, the heat became even more intense, like a tide, it came in waves, making her mouth dry and her throat smoke, her forehead was covered in a layer of dense beads of sweat, her whole body was inexplicably uncomfortable.

Sang Tian endured the discomfort, she used all her strength to barely support herself, she swayed as she walked towards the rest room upstairs.

At this moment, she couldn’t wait for the slow elevator, she turned and walked towards the stairs.

She finally reached the second floor. As she pushed open the heavy fire door, a ghostly hand suddenly reached out from the darkness, covering her mouth in a flash, and then dragged her into the nearest rest room.
