The charity auction was open to the public, and many wealthy ladies were invited, as well as major celebrities.
A red carpet was rolled out to the entrance, and at the end of it were several news media outlets filming interviews.
Although Jiang Mian’s teeth trembled with cold, she still maintained a smile on her face, making it impossible to spot any flaws.
As an internet celebrity, she wanted to become famous, she must not only rely on her strength but also rely on marketing and luck.
Right now, was her opportunity. Whether she could add fuel to the fire of her career in the future depends on now.
Jiang Mian was about to turn her head to ask the waiter holding the umbrella if her makeup was smooth when suddenly she felt a force on her waist.
The man who was walking behind suddenly sped up and walked away, making the driver dumbfounded for a moment, and almost didn’t keep up. He accelerated his pace to follow and hold the umbrella for Shen Shiyan.
Jiang Mian was also surprised; she lowered her gaze and fell on her waist. It was the man’s arm, looking up along the arm, she saw the man’s gloomy face.
She had a bewildered expression on her face. Why was this man angry again?
If he was so unhappy to see her, why did he have to bring her to this event!
Although she was inwardly unhappy, she still had to pretend to be surprised by her face and called out helplessly. “Mr. Shen?”
Shen Shiyan pursed his lips, and silently looked at the attendant who was holding the umbrella, his black pupils were flooded with a dark gaze. The latter felt cold sweat broke out on his back from being stared at, his feet felt as if they were embedded in the ground unable to move forward.
In a few moments, the distance was widened.
Jiang Mian hadn’t reacted to what was going on when she was wrapped around the man’s arms and walked toward the other side of the red carpet.
“Mr. Shen, aren’t we going to walk the red carpet?”
Jiang Mian’s gaze looked reluctantly towards the door. If those news media took a few photos and posted them online, it would cause some discussion. Perhaps a studio would sign her!
She could find another man if she didn’t have one, but she couldn’t live without her money!
As soon as the words fell out of her mouth, Jiang Mian felt two gloomy eyes fall on her face, “What did you call me?”
Why was he suddenly looking at her with such eyes, it’s a creepy look!
“Mr. Shen…”
“Don’t call me that!”
Ah?
Could it be that he was angry because she was not addressing him correctly?
However, she had always called him that way before, and she didn’t see him angry just like now!
A man’s heart is like a needle in the bottom of the sea. It can be too hard for her!
Jiang Mian was at a loss, “Then what should I call you?”
Grandson!
Say yes and I’ll call you out!
Most of the people around him call him Mr. Shen, Master Shen, and few call him by an intimate name.
Shen Shiyan furrowed his brows and spoke in a rather aggressive tone, “You’re not allowed to call me this!”
Although Jiang Mian was confused, she still obediently agreed. Afraid that she may trigger Mr. Shen’s minefield.
This woman’s mouth said that she liked him, but she still turned her head and smiled at other men, without him in her eyes at all.
A little liar!
Shen Shiyan didn’t like being photographed; this time he came to participate in the charity auction because he could not refuse the request of his friend.
Jiang Mian obediently followed Shen Shiyan’s side, while secretly sighing in regret, missing such a good opportunity to walk the red carpet!
The heating was turned on in the venue, and as soon as Jiang Mian entered, the incoming heating warmed her whole body.
Jiang Mian rubbed her fingers, “It’s still warm inside!”
Shen Shiyan heard her mutter in a low voice and glanced at her with a slanted gaze. It was not surprising that she was cold, she was dressed so little that most of her shoulders were exposed.
“Ugly!”
Jiang Mian: “…”
Although this pink dress doesn’t fit her style, everyone says she was as beautiful as a fairy when they see her.
He was the only one who said it didn’t look good on her, then there must be something wrong with his eyes!
Jiang Mian was so angry that she wanted to curse, but for her own sake, she stubbornly suppressed this impulse.
Lifting her eyes, she swept him with a resentful look and explained softly, “Everyone says it’s pretty!”
However, it proves that it was better if she doesn’t explain because once she does, the man’s face seems to look even gloomier, and his tone was angrier. “The one who held the umbrella for you just now?”
“Huh?”
“Hmph!”
Jiang Mian was extremely puzzled, why did he suddenly mention the waiter?
Jiang Mian was still able to discern something and she could tell that Shen Shiyan didn’t like the little brother holding the umbrella, so she lowered her head and didn’t refute him again.
However, her appearance caught the man’s eye and changed its meaning.
Shen Shiyan became even more displeased, exuding a gloomy and cold aura, with an unapproachable face.
Strange, she had already followed the man’s will, why was this person even more angry?
Meanwhile, there were already many people in the venue, and all they could see were unfamiliar faces.
Shen Shiyan undoubtedly caught the attention of everyone, and as soon as Jiang Mian followed him into the venue, she felt the gaze cast from all directions.
Everyone was originally curious about Shen Shiyan, but when they saw a new face next to him, their eyes showed surprise.
Everyone must know that Shen Shiyan rarely attends these occasions, even if he does, he would always be with the secretary named, He Lai. Why was there suddenly a different person?
Everyone gathered in small groups to privately discuss Jiang Mian’s identity.
Some people speculate that this was Shen Shiyan’s new secretary, while others speculate that she was Shen Shiyan’s new lover.
The identity of the latter was even more shocking, everyone knows that there has never been another woman around Shen Shiyan, although many brave women have confessed but they have not been favored by him.
Looking at the woman dressed up as a gentle little woman, her eyes were captivating. With a sweep of her seductive eyes, all the other men in the room were restless, she was like a vixen.
Shen Shiyan naturally noticed the gaze of those people, with some curiosity, some frivolity, and even some disdain…
The man next to her immediately lowered his face, and furrowed his brows, before his strong gaze swept towards them, filled with a suffocating sense of oppression. Those people seemed frightened and avoided their gaze at her one after another.
Jiang Mian interpreted the man’s reaction to mean that she was his, after all, men all wanted to save their faces, and looking down on her meant looking down on Shen Shiyan.
As for Jiang Mian herself, she couldn’t be described as nervous and timid, seeing how she stood obediently next to Shen Shiyan like a vase, letting others gaze at her.
Shen Shiyan always had a sullen face, so much so that others didn’t dare to come forward and strike up a conversation with him.
If she didn’t come forward to strike up a conversation, how could she have the chance to leave and be picked on by He Lai’s friends!
Therefore, Jiang Mian felt that sacrificing herself was a small price to pay to achieve the greater self.
She secretly tugged his sleeve, and when Shen Shiyan turned around Jiang Mian happened to be leaning against him. Their cheeks were just a few inches away from touching each other, and the heat from their breath fell from each other’s cheeks, this made Jiang Mian’s eyes widen and her heart pounded as if a deer was jumping in it.
This feeling was not very good.
Realizing that the distance between the two was too close, Jiang Mian instinctively wanted to stay away from him, but suddenly her wrist was grabbed by the man and pulled tighter into his arms.
The man lowered his head and closed the distance to her, “Hmm?”
If you want to talk, just talk, why suddenly come close the distance all of a sudden. Her ears are not deaf, but her little heart would overheat sooner or later ah.
Jiang Mian blushed, “Don’t be angry, okay?”
She scanned the surroundings around her and explained in a small voice, “You’re so mean, people are afraid to talk to you!”
Jiang Mian tugged on his sleeve and whispered, “Smile!”
Shen Shiyan looked at her coquettish appearance, and the anger pressing down on his brow was extinguished by a spring breeze and drizzle, and a smile appeared on his lips.
It happened to hit Jiang Mian’s eyes making her heart skip a beat, and then she heard the hopeless heartbeat again.
That’s too foul!
In any case, Shen Shiyan was in a much better mood, not as uninviting as before.
Some people who were eager to flatter their acquaintances have boldly approached and approached her with curiosity.
Jiang Mian still had some sense of propriety, standing aside as she kept on smiling. She was just a lover and had nothing to show off.
With her silence, there was a momentary awkwardness in the atmosphere, and everyone suddenly knew it, and the eyes that looked at her suddenly felt a bit contemptuous.
At this moment, Shen Shiyan opened his mouth to explain her identity and alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
“She’s, my assistant.”
Everyone nodded, a gesture that they understood.
Jiang Mian also had a smile on her face as usual. Shen Shiyan had never spread any gossip. He didn’t want to say he was his lover, firstly because he did not want to embarrass himself, and secondly, he thought she was not worthy.
The conversation was all about official matters, but Jiang Mian didn’t have much interest. After listening to a few words, she felt a bit sleepy.
Taking advantage of the fact that one set of people had just left and a few others were about to come up, Jiang Mian came close to his ear and whispered, “Can I go sit over there for a while?”
She was dressed so flamboyantly today, and many people around her were ready to make a move, leaving him might cause more trouble.
Shen Shiyan was about to say no when she saw the little woman pretending to be pitiful and looking at him with tears in her eyes.
“The heels I’m wearing are uncomfortable I’ve been standing for a long time, so I’ll just sit down for a while, promise not to go anywhere, and I definitely won’t get you in trouble!”
She almost raised her fingers and swore to the sky.
Shen Shiyan really couldn’t shrug it off at this moment, and then looked at the resting area pointed out by Jiang Mian, which just happened to be the place where his eyes could reach, and with him looking at it, there shouldn’t be any problem, so he instructed her, “Sit there obediently, and I’ll come look for you in a while!”
“Got it!”
Jiang Mian released him and walked towards the rest area.
Standing for a long time was indeed tiring, Jiang Mian took a drink and sat down.
Not a moment later, she saw a couple of girls next to her pointing at her with disdain.
Jiang Mian took a sip of juice, pretended not to see them, and took advantage of Shen Shiyan’s inattention to walk outside.
Being obedient was impossible. She came this time to cause trouble.
Jiang Mian pretended not to see those people coming over and walked out as if nothing had happened.
When they got outside, the heating wasn’t that adequate, Jiang Mian shivered in the cold, so it was better to get it over with quickly.
She secretly glanced at the three women following behind her hand before she turned around in shock. “Who are you and why are you following me?”
This was the first time, these women tried to follow someone with intentions in mind, so they were all startled when Jiang Mian turned around and asked them.
The woman in the middle craned her neck fiercely. “You’re the vixen who bullied He Lai!”
The vixen who bullies He Lai?
She almost laughed at the name they called her. She was very curious as to how He Lai cried her grievances in front of them!
“What are you talking about, I don’t understand!”
She wanted to leave as soon as she spoke, but unfortunately, the other party wouldn’t let her go at all.
“Stop, you’re not allowed to leave!” One of them grabbed Jiang Mian’s hand and just touched the back of her hand, Jiang Mian made a sharp turn and an over-the-shoulder slam, getting the person to the ground.
The remaining two fell back and stared in disbelief!
Jiang Mian straightened her skirt, revealing a look of innocence, “You guys are mistaken, Lailai is my good sister, how could I possibly bully her!”
