When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Xi Siyan casually tossed the red envelope onto the table. He didn’t really care about what Zhang Yi said, but it did stir a little ripple in his heart.

Frowning, Xi Siyan checked the time. It was dinnertime now. Look at his mother, coming over during dinner yet not even thinking about having a meal with him.

Xi Siyan let out a self-mocking laugh, then grabbed his phone. He realized that every time he felt wrapped in loneliness and darkness like this, he just really wanted to hear Zhou Chengchen’s voice.

No matter what she says, as long as it’s her voice, it’s fine.

He was used to loneliness, used to the darkness, but still yearned for sunlight.

It wasn’t until he dialed Zhou Chengchen’s number that Xi Siyan realized she actually hadn’t been in touch for several days.

He’s not someone who likes to reach out to others for no reason. Although Zhou Chengchen was an exception for him, some habits are not so easily changed.

So, generally, if Zhou Chengchen didn’t contact him, he probably wouldn’t actively reach out either.

The last time they were in touch was on An Ge’s birthday, when Zhou Chengchen asked him if An Ge liked her gift.

He dialed the number, and it rang several times, but no one answered.

Xi Siyan’s frown deepened. She almost never failed to answer his calls. Was she busy now?

After calling twice and getting no answer, Xi Siyan felt a bit gloomy. He put away his phone and turned to the kitchen to make a pack of instant noodles.

Zhou Chengchen was indeed busy at the moment. The charity dinner organized by the government was being held today, and Zhou Chengchen was dressed in a white cocktail dress, sweetly accompanying Zhou Chengze.

Even though she didn’t like to present herself as demure and gentle, as the young lady of the Zhou Family, she understood well enough how she should appear at such events.

Both Zhou Chengze and Qi Cheng were a bit surprised that she decided to come. Zhou Chengze had always indulged his daughter, giving her whatever she wanted, let alone something as trivial as this.

So Zhou Chengchen naturally accompanied him, obediently following her father.

At such banquets, aside from the final auction, the beginning was all about networking and forming connections.

Because it was organized by the government, it wasn’t just the top elite attending; anyone with a bit of reputation in B City was likely to be invited, whether they came or not was their own decision.

This year, no one from the Sheng Family came; they just sent a senior executive from their group, making Zhou Chengze and Zhou Chengchen the undeniable focus as soon as they arrived.

Many people rushed over to greet them, and Zhou Chengchen stood by her father’s side, sweetly smiling. Before long, she spotted the person she was looking for among those coming to greet them.

For many mid-tier companies, they wouldn’t miss out on such an occasion. The business world is all about the interplay of relationships and interests, and such networking opportunities are naturally not to be overlooked.

Seeing the people from the Xi Family approaching, Zhou Chengchen held a glass of grape juice in her hand, still smiling sweetly. But when they got close, she twisted her ankle and the grape juice in her hand was splashed towards them.

The Xi Family attendees were the current president of the Xi Family and the Xi Family’s young lady, and the cup of juice landed right on the young heiress.

Of course, the men were all in suits, dark colors, and it wouldn’t even show. Right?

But the young heiress of the Xi Family was wearing a pink puffy dress, and the juice caused the young lady to scream instantly.
