Chapter 010: The Heart Begins to Change
The off-white dress perfectly sets off the purple and smooth neck and the snow-white back. A delicate crystal lotus seed, with a heart-shaped diamond pendant, seems simple but elegant and exquisite. This is what the women of the world are crazy about, from the award-winning work of the famous designer, Rhonague. Limited worldwide, there are only three sets of "Light Charm".
As a female star, Zi Ling has adapted to all kinds of unmanageable high heels, and she thinks that she has a strong ability to adapt, but today, when she stepped on this pair of crystal high heels that should be priceless, she walked very carefully.
Sure enough, the more you worry, the more things will go wrong. She had barely taken two steps before she turned around, causing her to lean against the wall in pain. The man who was originally walking in front felt something strange behind him, turned around, and approached her impatiently.
Originally, Zi Ling thought that this hateful man wanted to do something again, after all, she had provoked him just now, and he didn't even say a word along the way. But when he came over and took her hand directly, and asked her to put it on his arm, Zi Ling was a little surprised and couldn't speak.
Walking into the hotel's restaurant on the top floor, bursts of melodious music surround the entire lobby. Zi Ling took Situ Jiluo by his arms, and under the leadership of the waiter, he came to the door of a VIP box.
"Ji Luo, can I not go in?"
Grabbing the man's arm to stop him from taking another step forward, Zi Ling's voice trembled slightly, unable to hide her nervousness and fear. Although it was not the first time they met, Zi Ling just felt inexplicably scared and wanted to back down.
At the dinner party on the wedding day, although Situ Jiluo's parents were very kind and friendly, but I don't know why, Zi Ling just felt a sense of oppression. Moreover, today she has to face not only his parents, but also the entire Situ family, how can she not be nervous?
Regarding Zi Ling's sudden name, Situ Jiluo paused, because this was the first time she did not call him by name, but directly called his name. He didn't hate her calling his name, but his heart was inexplicably tugging in an instant. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but it was a very strange feeling.
Looking at the woman in front of him who was pale because of nervousness, Situ Jiluo didn't speak, but reached out to hold her hand. It's very hard, as if it's trying to transfer force to her.
Raising his head in astonishment, he looked at Situ Jiluo who was holding him without blinking, and Zi Ling suddenly felt an abnormal peace of mind. For some reason, with this man around, she felt as if all her anxiety and fear had vanished.
When he saw Zi Ling's face with a confident smile, Situ Jiluo still didn't speak, so he pulled her and pushed open the door of the box. As soon as the door opened, all the eyes inside focused on them, making Zi Ling tremble.
In the restaurant of a five-star hotel, there are several people sitting around in front of a round dining table in a large box. Two of them were Situ Jiluo's parents, and she didn't know the others. So, after gasping, Zi Ling bravely followed Situ Jiluo in.
"Hello Mom and Dad."
Seeing that Situ Jiluo didn't say anything and pulled her to the vacant seat to sit down, Zi Ling opened his mouth to greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law in order to hide his embarrassment. She wasn't deliberately ignoring other people, nor was she being rude, but other people she didn't know at all.
"Good, good."
Facing his daughter-in-law's etiquette, Situ Dao seemed very pleased, but Qin Meilan on the side was not like this. She snorted coldly, simply expressing her disdain and disgust for this person, which made the atmosphere of the entire box freeze. Zi Ling had no choice but to bow his head helplessly, not daring to say anything.
"Ji Luo, this is your daughter-in-law who just passed the door, why don't you introduce it to everyone?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more embarrassing, the man who seemed to be in his early thirties sitting next to Situ Dao couldn't help but speak. His tone was very harmonious, and just listening to him made it clear that he was a very kind person.
"Yes, big brother."
With a light cough, Situ Jiluo answered the man who had just spoken, and then pulled Zi Ling to stand up again. Zi Ling also knew that the man who had just spoken was Situ Jiluo's eldest brother.
"This is my wife who just married last week, Yan Ruoxi, but everyone calls her Ziling."
With Situ Jiluo's introduction, Zi Ling was also a little embarrassed to greet everyone. Then she was about to sit down with Situ Jiluo, when a voice sounded, which made her suddenly freeze.
"JIRO, YOUR WIFE FEELS FAMILIAR."
The young woman sitting beside Qin Meilan suddenly spoke, which made the atmosphere freeze again. Her tone seemed to be sarcastic, making Zi Ling break out in a cold sweat.
She is a public figure, and it is not unusual for her to be recognized, but the tone of this woman's voice makes her very uneasy. It was as if what she was about to say was more than just recognizing her. Moreover, she also called Situ Jiluo's English name, which made Zi Ling very curious about her identity.
"By the way, didn't you have an affair with that new Asian king yesterday? Today's entertainment front page! ”
As she spoke, as if to confirm the truthfulness, the woman took out the tablet from her bag and began to search for the entertainment news page of this morning. It's only been a week since I got married and I'm cuckolding my JIRO, huh, we'll see!
Sure enough, as soon as such words were spoken, Zi Ling's face suddenly turned white. Her feet were suddenly weak, but fortunately, Situ Jiluo stood up in time and hugged her waist and gave her support, otherwise she thought she would be embarrassed to sit down in her seat.
"OH MY GOD, JIRO, YOU'RE CUCKOLDING!"
Qin Meilan has always disliked Situ Jiluo, so she is naturally disgusted with Zi Ling, so if her daughter wants to find out the other party's troubles, she will naturally not stop it, but Situ Dao is different. This is a rare family dinner, and he will not let his ignorant daughter mess around.
"Xiaoxi, stop making trouble!"
"But Daddy, on the news..."
Situ Dao roared angrily, making everyone present tremble. Originally, Situ Yunxi wanted him to watch the news on the tablet, but when she saw her father's gloomy face, she had to swallow the words back.
The news published in major newspapers and webpages early this morning was learned by Zi Ling from her agent Tao Tingting in the morning. Because it was just a misunderstanding, she didn't pay much attention to it, after all, she thought that the clean would clear itself.
Originally, she thought that Situ Jiluo would say something, but she didn't say it in the company in the morning, and she didn't mention it along the way just now, so she didn't take it to heart. But she didn't expect to be told by others on such an occasion, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at Situ Jiluo's current expression.
What should she do now? Should she explain? Or should it be?
