"Suitable!" Kou Juqing nodded heavily, her tone particularly serious.
"Although Yi Ge is a bit silly, she's at least childhood sweethearts with Xiao Yu, and we watched her grow up. She doesn't have any ulterior motives."
"Since she's childhood sweethearts with Shang Yu and of similar age, isn't she a better match for Shang Yu? It's not impossible for Shang Yu to get married at this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Yu, who had been eavesdropping in a corner, his voice came from the second floor: "No, no, Big Brother, Qin Yige and I are good brothers. There's absolutely no spark between us. You and her, cough, are a better match."
These two are matched to… an eerie degree.
The tall man stood up from the sofa, tidied his clothes, and said, "If there's no spark, we can generate electricity. You are my brother, Shang Sheng. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."
His words didn't give Shang Yu any sense of happiness; instead, he shivered, "Brother, please let me off. This has nothing to do with me!"
Shang Sheng ignored him and turned to walk towards the door.
Just as he was about to leave, a hoarse voice called out, "Xiao Sheng, wait!"
He turned back, and an old man with white hair slowly walked out of the room.
Thinking of this, Shang Yu withdrew his thoughts and asked Grandma Shang, "Grandma, what exactly did you say to Big Brother that day to make him so readily agree to this marriage?"
The old woman's smile was meaningful, "I didn't say much. Your Big Brother is filial and obedient."
His Big Brother was filial and obedient? Shang Yu was full of questions. Was it really just like that?
On the other side, Qin Yige finally found an opportunity to rest. She had been wearing high heels all night, maintaining a fake smile and cooperating with Shang Sheng to receive guests. She was exhausted!
As soon as she sat down in the rest area, a group of people swarmed around her, both men and women.
These people called themselves friends, but seven out of ten had only superficial friendships.
The first to speak was the young master of the Chu family from Hong Kong, Chu Rang, one of the Four Young Masters of Hong Kong.
He was a mutual friend of Qin Yige and Shang Sheng, but clearly, his relationship with Shang Sheng was closer, as they had suffered through ten years of schooling together.
Young Master Chu had just dyed his short hair yellow and wore a diamond earring on his right ear, looking like a prodigal son from another family.
"Yige, if Shang Sheng is threatening you, just blink. I'll save you."
Qin Yige didn't speak, she just blinked.
"You really are being threatened? Yige, don't be afraid. Brother will go find Shang Sheng for a duel right now!"
The second person to speak was a purple-haired woman, a close friend with whom Qin Yige often went shopping abroad. She pushed up the decorative frame of her glasses and tentatively asked her, "Yige, didn't you tell me back then that you were going to study nursing and make CEO Shang stay in the most expensive ICU?"
And she also said that the person she hated most in her life was Shang Sheng.
Qin Yige had said these words.
As soon as she opened her mouth, another woman in a white dress followed up, "Qin Yige, you also said you wanted to study journalism and, in the future, if CEO Shang committed corruption, you would put him on the front page!"
Why would Qin Yige marry Shang Sheng? She was not worthy of CEO Shang at all.
Qin Yige had also said these words.
But did they have to say them so loudly?
Tang Anruo put away the sadness caused by Shang Sheng and Qin Yige's engagement and asked doubtfully, "Did I misremember? Didn't Yige clearly say she wanted to study law, and that she would send CEO Shang to jail!"
Before Qin Yige could answer their questions, Chu Rang's assistant showed an elegant yet polite smile, "Everyone, please turn around!"
Everyone turned around at the same time. The male protagonist they were talking about was standing behind them, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a glass of red wine. He was staring expressionlessly at the female protagonist of the day – Qin Yige.
The group's faces instantly changed color, and those who reacted quickly changed their tune.
Chu Rang: "Yige, you and Shang Sheng are truly a match made in heaven, a golden union, a talented man and a beautiful woman, unparalleled in the world! I wish you a harmonious marriage and a happy life together!"
Qin Yige:?
Where was the duel with Shang Sheng they talked about?
Purple-haired girlfriend: "Yige, I wish you and CEO Shang a hundred years of harmony, early childbirth, and prosperity for years to come."
Qin Yige didn't want prosperity for years to come.
Seeing Shang Sheng, the woman in the white dress deliberately showed off, "The bride is like fine red wine, and the groom is like a wine glass. Wine and glass will be inseparable from now on! I wish you happiness and a lifelong union."
Qin Yige: "..."
Shang Sheng's eyes didn't see anyone else. He took a few steps forward, his gaze on the young girl revealing danger: "You want to send me to the ICU?"
Qin Yige smiled awkwardly, about to try and argue her way out, when the people around her scattered like birds and beasts.
"You also want to put me on the front page?"
"..."
"And finally, send me to jail?"
"..."
So he had heard everything.
Qin Yige curved her lips and denied with a smile, "You heard wrong."
"Don't you have too many dreams?"
Qin Yige instantly lost her confidence, but she still cheered herself on, "They will come true!"
"Then let's make the first dream come true? I'll help you."
Go to the ICU?
Qin Yige was a little confused, "How will you help me?"
Shang Sheng: "Without my participation, you alone can't even have eight sons."
"..."
Wait, what happened to going to the ICU?
Qin Yige bit her lower lip, her face slightly flushed, and she hissed in a low voice, "Shang Sheng, don't think that just because you're marrying me soon and have some money, you can sleep with me!"
"With so many women out there, where do you get the confidence to think I can't do without you?"
The girl's heart sank slightly, but she stubbornly retorted, "Isn't it? Who else would want you, Shang Sheng, besides me? Let me see who else is as unwise as me!"
Shang Sheng didn't want to argue with her further. He extended his arm towards her, "Don't worry, the women who want to get into my bed could be lined up from Hong Kong to the South Pole. Mrs. Shang, have you rested enough? It's time to see the guests off."
The title "Mrs. Shang" made her blush and her heart pound. She said stubbornly, "Don't call me Mrs. Shang. I'm not married yet, and I'm not your wife."
The man, uncharacteristically, complied and changed his address, "Miss Qin."
Miss Qin snorted coldly and arrogantly raised her chin, "That's more like it!"
She linked her arm with his, letting him lead her towards the main entrance of the banquet hall.
Halfway there, she muttered softly, "I'll never wear high heels from this brand again. My heels hurt so much!"
Shang Sheng silently took out his phone and made a call, "Send a pair of flats over, size 37."
"I don't want to wear flats. I'll look like a dwarf standing next to you."
He was too tall, 1.88 meters, almost 1.90 meters, while she barely reached 1.70 meters.
"Send a pair of comfortable high heels over."
Qin Yige: "I'm already wearing high heels. Don't bother, it's almost over."
The phone call ended, and Shang Sheng said lightly, "You must send them. It's to prevent you from finding an excuse to leave early."
If she didn't cause any trouble, she wouldn't be Qin Yige.
"..." Did he have telepathy?
She had indeed planned to leave early with the excuse of her feet hurting, leaving him alone to see off the guests.
In less than twenty minutes, Chen Ling hurried over with a pair of shoes, greeting the two, "CEO Shang, Miss Qin."
Qin Yige was annoyed when she saw her. She gripped Shang Sheng's arm and arrogantly ordered, "Please call me Mrs. Shang from now on, Secretary Chen. I am no longer Miss Qin starting today!"
Shang Sheng glanced at Qin Yige upon hearing this, raising an eyebrow.
