Chapter 1037: How Pathetic

Although Li Mo didn’t smile the entire time, he still put the ring on Xu Qingzhi.
Shen Fanxing sat in the front row and watched as Xu Qingzhi’s hand trembled slightly. She slowly slipped the platinum ring onto Li Mo’s well-defined ring finger.
At that moment, Shen Fanxing saw Xu Qingzhi’s tear drop to the ground.
Shen Fanxing felt mixed emotions.
Congratulations, Qingzhi had finally fulfilled her wish.
Unfortunately, her other difficult life had just begun.
Someone beside her held her slightly cold hand. Her broad palm felt warm.
She turned to look at the man beside her. The peace in her heart came too easily.
Soon, she would become this man’s wife.
The salvation he had given her was the goal of her life.
Just like Qingzhi, she was like a moth to a flame.
At the wedding banquet, a few people were arranged to sit in a private room.
Shen Fanxing pulled Ye Qingqiu to sit beside her.
Li Tingshen and Liang Xuer happened to sit opposite them.
Facing them, Ye Qingqiu didn’t even raise her eyebrows.
She leaned back in her chair and played with the music in her hand.
They chatted enthusiastically in the private room, but it seemed to have nothing to do with her. She was isolated from the world.
The temperature in the room wasn’t low, and there was also the reason why she had to eat later. Ye Qingqiu’s long hair, which had been scattered when she attended the wedding, was now tied up in a noble bun by her. Her hair was tied into a simple bun, and her shorter hair was casually scattered on both sides of her temples, making it the most natural decoration.
The lights in the private room were very bright and the light shone on her body. Her smooth forehead was glowing and the tip of her exquisite nose was illuminated.
Her bright eyes reflected the colors on the phone screen. She had light makeup on and there were no flaws. Under the light, she looked breathtakingly beautiful.
Li Tingshen sized up the woman sitting opposite him quietly.
Shen Fanxing turned her head to speak to her. In the noisy room, he could hear their conversation clearly.
“Are you in a hurry to go back? Should we stay in Rong City for a day tomorrow?”
Her gaze shifted from the screen to Shen Fanxing. “Sure, it’s rare for me to have time to come out.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and turned to talk to Bo Jinchuan.
Ye Qingqiu’s gaze landed on her phone screen.
Her voice, tone, and even her casual and lazy smile made one’s heart burn.
Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened as he picked up the cup and finished the tea.
The local expensive and unique dishes were served one after another. Everyone started to eat, but most of them were drinking and chatting.
The lively atmosphere made it seem as though they were the ones getting married today.
When Ye Qingqiu took her first bite, she frowned slightly and swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty. She placed the remaining half on the plate and didn’t touch it again.
She ate some of almost every dish, but she didn’t eat much. The corner of the plate that she had taken a bite of had already formed a small hill.
Although leftovers were not elegant and lacked manners,
If the host saw this, he would feel that it was too unreasonable.
However, Ye Qingqiu was Ye Qingqiu. Ever since she was young, as long as she wasn’t willing or liked, no one could force her to do anything.
The word “make do” had never existed in her dictionary.
She was pretentious. Even she couldn’t deny that.
Li Tingshen’s lips curled into a faint smile. It was better than nothing.
Delicate.
From the moment she was born, she was pampered and pampered. Later on, his pampering and indulgence seeped into her bones. Even if she wanted to abandon everything in the past, could she change these things?
How could he not have contributed at all?
However, no matter how unsociable she was, Shang Qiqi, Yin Ruijue, and the rest drank a few glasses of wine.
It was fine if you didn’t touch alcohol, but once you did, even if you could put it down, the person beside you wouldn’t let you.
In one round, she had drunk five to six glasses. The wine was small and filled with spicy white wine.
Feeling a little dizzy, she sat there quietly with her hand supporting her forehead. The chopsticks in her hand poked at the food on the plate in boredom. Her eyes were fixed on the leftovers, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
It was as if her eyes were empty and her heart was empty. There was nothing that she could let go of.
Even though Liang Xuer was an A-list celebrity outside, her presence didn’t seem to stand out in this room.
From the beginning to the end, she sat quietly beside Li Tingshen and placed some dishes that she liked on his plate.
She vaguely remembered that when he was out socializing back then, there was a woman sitting beside him. She clearly hated the foul atmosphere in the room, but she still held her chin and picked up her chopsticks, pretending to be nonchalant as she picked up food for him. Seeing that he didn’t move for a long time, she stubbornly brought the food to his mouth, determined to make him eat it.
“Don’t drink on an empty stomach. Otherwise, I’ll have to serve you when we get back.”
She held her chin as she spoke. Her tone was gentle, her eyes were smiling, and she was stubborn and charming.
He opened his mouth and ate it. Then, he watched as she used the chopsticks that had fed him to pick up some food before putting it into her mouth.
She didn’t seem to feel anything, but looking at the pair of chopsticks moving in and out of her red lips, he felt that she had drugged the dishes she had fed him.
“Tingshen, eat quickly. Don’t drink on an empty stomach, lest your stomach hurts later.”
Liang Xuer’s soft voice sounded from the side. Li Tingshen glanced at her and she smiled warmly. “Eat some.”
Li Tingshen lowered his gaze and glanced at the dishes in front of him. He was silent for a few seconds before taking a bite.
That was the first mouthful of food that the woman had eaten. If he was not wrong, this dish should have some sweetness.
The entrance, indeed.
He didn’t like sweetness. The reason why he ate it was all because of that woman.
Every time she ate half of the food, he would eat the other half.
In the past, everything would have become food in his stomach. Now, she had poked them until they were unrecognizable.
Li Tingshen’s face darkened.
After the dishes and drinks,
At this moment, the people at the table were already drunk.
Only Bo Jinchuan and the rest were still sitting upright on the chairs. Their backs were straight and their expressions were indifferent. There was no trace of drunkenness.
“Hey, President Li, look at how gentle and virtuous our goddess is. Shouldn’t you marry her?”
