Chapter 161: Oath of Sovereignty
Li Ning packed up his things tightly, then left side by side with Shen Muzhi with his bag.
And Shao Qi stopped in place, looking at the back of the husband and wife, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Shen Muzhi had a straight posture, and he wore a very formal slim suit, and walking with Li Ning couldn't help but arouse people's attention.
"This is Dr. Li's husband?"
"So handsome, really talented and beautiful."
"Dr. Li must have saved the galaxy in his last life to have such a handsome husband."
Li Ning walked all the way, listening to those words that praised Shen Muzhi, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "Actually, it's good for you to give me a call, don't come up to pick me up." β
"What? It's a shame for you to have a husband like me? Shen Muzhi asked with a slight sideways glance at her.
"How can you. I didn't hear people say that I saved the galaxy to marry you. It's climbing. Li Ning also glanced at him and snorted.
Shen Muzhi raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.
His purpose is to remind everyone that Li Ning is a married woman, and her husband is very good. Apparently his purpose was achieved.
Although Shen Muzhi used to think that this kind of behavior was very naΓ―ve, and it was absolutely impossible for it to happen to him.
Out of the hospital, Li Ning couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw the very flamboyant sports car in the parking lot, thinking that Shen Muzhi was usually very low-key, why not only did she go to the office to pick her up today, but also drove such a flamboyant car.
"What's the special reception today?" Li Ning got into the car and asked.
"It's just a business reception, nothing special." Shen Muzhi said disapprerovitically.
As the person in charge of the Shen Group, Shen Muzhi doesn't know how many drinks and banquets he has to attend every month, but most of him just has to show up for entertainment. It is even more rare that Li Ning will be asked to attend with him.
"Since it's just an ordinary drinking party, why do you want to call me along?" Li Ning felt even more strange.
"We don't make too many appearances together after we get married, and we should also participate in more social activities together for the sake of public image." Shen Muzhi drove the car and looked ahead, a serious road.
"Oh." Li Ning nodded, really thinking that Shen Muzhi was trying to create a good public image, but he didn't think much about anything else.
After all, in this era, the family affairs of a company manager are no longer purely private matters, but every move is related to the public image and brand effect of the company.
Because Li Ning didn't take care of her makeup and hair, and she was wearing the clothes she usually wore for work, the two of them went to the image design room first.
Li Ning was putting on makeup and doing her hair on the side, while Shen Muzhi was sitting on the sofa next to her, reading magazines and waiting patiently.
"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, this is a few new small dresses from our designer, do you two see if they are suitable?" The designer and assistant took out a few dresses for the two to choose from.
Li Ning looked behind him through the mirror, "It's simple, it's not too complicated and exposed." β
Shen Muzhi also put down the magazine and looked at it, "I'll try these two later." β
"Well, I think those two are good, too." Li Ning said with a smile.
"It seems that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen really have a tacit understanding." The designer said with a smile.
Tacit understanding...
Li Ning couldn't help but glance at Shen Muzhi from the mirror, and it happened that Shen Muzhi was also looking at her. The moment the two made eye contact, Li Ning involuntarily moved his gaze elsewhere.
After finishing her makeup and hair, Li Ning went to change her clothes, a pure white one-neck shoulder-length knee-length dress, dignified and generous, without any decoration, just a simple slim model, just the right way to show off the figure of Li Ning's logo.
"That's it." Li Ning said with satisfaction.
"Put it on." Shen Muzhi handed a ring box to Li Ning.
Li Ning opened it and saw that it was her wedding ring. After a second look, I found that Shen Muzhi also wore a wedding ring on his hand.
Seeing that Li Ning was a little stunned, Shen Muzhi personally took out the ring and put it on her hand.
Li Ning suddenly laughed.
"How?" Shen Muzhi raised his eyes to look at him.
Li Ning suppressed his voice and smiled in his ear: "On the day we got married, you didn't bring me a ring. β
Shen Muzhi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when they got married. It didn't feel like a wedding at all, it was a big farce.
"Let's go, it's almost time." Li Ning looked at the ring on his hand and said with a smile.
Shen Muzhi's eyes darkened, and some strange indescribable feelings arose in his heart.
On the way to the hotel, the two didn't say anything all the way. It's not unpleasant or anything, it's just relatively silent, and although they are in the same space, they are thinking about their own things. For couples who have been in the cold war for several days in a row, such a situation is a bit too much for harmony and calmness.
"Here we are." Shen Muzhi parked the car in front of the hotel.
The two got out of the car one after another, Li Ning held a handbag in one hand, and naturally grabbed Shen Muzhi's arm with the other, just like other couples, it seemed that they were in love.
"Thank you Mr. Shen for appreciating her face, it's rare that Mrs. Shen is willing to show her face today." Mr. Zhang, the organizer of the cocktail party, saw the two of them and came forward to greet them.
In this case, Li Ning only needs to make a dignified and generous vase, and Shen Muzhi will naturally deal with the rest.
"Mr. Zhang's invitation, how dare you not come." Shen Muzhi said politely.
"Oh, Mr. Shen, you're really joking. What kind of person are you, Mr. Shen, I can invite you to this big Buddha, I am happy in my heart, and there is light on my face. And I heard that Mrs. Shen rarely attends the cocktail party, but I didn't expect that today I, Zhang, would invite two big Buddhas at once. What a blessing, what a blessing! Mr. Zhang said with a heartfelt smile.
"Mr. Zhang is polite, because my husband attaches great importance to today's cocktail party, so of course I want my husband to sing with me." Li Ning said, smiling softly at Shen Muzhi, looking like a wife who respects her husband very much.
Shen Muzhi couldn't help but move his eyebrows slightly, although he didn't plan to let Li Ning do anything, let alone let her cooperate with acting. But he had to admit that Li Ning was a smart woman who knew what to do and when.
For nearly an hour after that, Li Ning was accompanying Shen Muzhi to socialize, creating the image of a loving couple, breaking the previous rumors that Li Ning and Shen Muzhi were strangers.
In fact, Li Ning herself was unwilling to participate in this kind of occasion, and when she saw that Shen Muzhi was talking about things with others, she went to the balcony to breathe.
Even at night, the lights are still bright outside the downtown hotel, and there are constant traffic and pedestrians every minute. The darkness didn't make the city really quiet.
Suddenly, a coat was draped on Li Ning's shoulders, "Tired? β
There was still his body temperature on his coat, and Li Ning looked back and smiled, "It's okay." You're probably more tired than I am. β
