After tidying up everything, Shen Jingyan walked out of the room. Jiang Xiyan was standing in the living room waiting anxiously, and when he saw Shen Jingyan, his eyes lit up instantly.

He looked very handsome in a black suit, a white shirt and a black bow tie. The suit was well-tailored, highlighting his broad shoulders and tall figure. His hair was neatly combed and his face was filled with an excited smile.

"Jingyan, you are so beautiful." Jiang Xiyan exclaimed sincerely.

Shen Jingyan still just glanced at him indifferently without saying anything. Her eyes revealed a hint of indifference and alienation, as if telling Jiang Xiyan that her beauty had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Xiyan didn't seem to notice Shen Jingyan's indifference. He walked forward with a gentle smile on his face, trying to reach out to take Shen Jingyan's arm, saying, "Jingyan, let's go." Shen Jingyan subconsciously dodged, frowning slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes. She walked to the door alone, leaving Jiang Xiyan standing there awkwardly. Jiang Xiyan smiled helplessly, and said softly in self-mockery, "You are still so unique." Then he followed Shen Jingyan and the two walked towards the banquet venue together.

At night, Jiang Xiyan drove the car and took Shen Jingyan to the banquet. Outside the car window, street lamps were like bright stars, casting soft light to illuminate the way forward for them. The trees on both sides of the road were like silent guards, standing quietly under the cover of the night. The breeze blew quietly, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering the story of the night.

The river surface is sparkling, and the glittering light is like countless bright gems, reflecting the gorgeous lights of the city, just like a smart ribbon flowing slowly. The tall buildings in the distance are brightly lit, like bright pearls, shining with the stars in the night sky, together outlining a beautiful and dreamy picture.

Shen Jingyan sat quietly in the car, her eyes were cold, like the water in a cold pond, without a single ripple. Her face was like a sculpture of ice and snow, delicate but without any warmth. The corners of her slightly raised mouth had no trace of a smile, as if frost was condensed. She tilted her head slightly to look out the window, her eyes revealing a kind of indifference that kept people at a distance, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her.

Along the way, they met several acquaintances. A lady in a gorgeous dress saw them and greeted them with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, you brought a female companion tonight. This beautiful lady is unfamiliar." Jiang Xiyan responded politely: "Sister Li, this is Shen Jingyan, my friend." Sister Li's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she looked at Shen Jingyan and said: "Miss Shen is so beautiful, Mr. Jiang is so lucky." Shen Jingyan just nodded slightly and said nothing.

Another man came over and said, "Jiang Xiyan, long time no see, is this your new girlfriend?" Jiang Xiyan quickly explained, "Don't talk nonsense, it's just that my friend accompanied me to a party." Shen Jingyan listened at the side, feeling even more annoyed and quickened her pace.

Jiang Xiyan would steal a glance at her from time to time, his heart filled with joy and anticipation. Although Shen Jingyan's attitude was cold, it was rare for him to be able to attend the banquet with her. He walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Shen Jingyan, and said softly: "Jingyan, don't mind what they said, it's just a joke." Shen Jingyan remained silent. Her mind seemed to have drifted away, and she didn't want to pay attention to the greetings and teasing in these social occasions. The two continued to walk towards the banquet venue in a somewhat subtle atmosphere.

Shen Jingyan wore a black evening gown, like a black rose blooming in the dark night, exuding a mysterious and cold atmosphere. Her skin was as white as snow, and under the light, it seemed to have a faint luster, like delicate mutton-fat jade. Her delicate facial features were just right. Her eyebrows were like distant black, and when they were slightly frowned, they added a bit of charming charm; her eyes were deep and bright, flashing a cold light like cold stars, and occasionally, there seemed to be ripples in them, making people want to explore the story behind it; under the high nose bridge, there were slightly pursed lips, the pink color was like delicate petals, but because of her indifferent expression, she seemed particularly alienated.

She stood quietly in a corner of the banquet hall, her posture upright and elegant, as if isolated from the hustle and bustle around her. The thin straps hung on her fair shoulders, highlighting her graceful collarbone and slender neck. Her lines were soft and moving, as noble as a swan. The hem of the black dress swayed gently with her slight movements, like the flowing night, and every sway seemed to draw a mysterious arc in the air.

Her indifference did not block the gazes of the opposite sex, but rather it was like a unique attraction that attracted many of them. When those men caught a glimpse of her inadvertently, their eyes were involuntarily drawn to her, as if being pulled by an invisible force. Their eyes flashed with curiosity and appreciation, some pretended to be calm, but occasionally stole glances at her with their peripheral vision; others did not hide their amazement, their eyes were fixed on her, but they did not dare to approach her too presumptuously, and just silently admired this beautiful scenery from a distance.

Several confident men mustered up their courage and walked towards her with their glasses. A man in a dark blue suit walked up to Shen Jingyan first, with a self-proclaimed charming smile on his face, and said softly: "My beautiful lady, you are so radiant tonight, I wonder if I can have the honor to drink a glass with you?" Shen Jingyan just glanced at him indifferently, without any enthusiasm in her eyes, shook her head slightly, and looked away. The man had to smile awkwardly and walked away dejectedly.

Then, another man in a white shirt and a gray vest came over. His eyes were full of sincerity and expectation. He said, "Miss, you are like a shining pearl at this banquet. I can't help but want to come over and get to know you."

Shen Jingyan still had no expression on her face and responded coldly: "Thank you, I don't want to drink." The man shrugged helplessly and had to leave reluctantly.

Although Shen Jingyan rejected these approaches of the opposite sex time and time again, her charm did not diminish at all. Instead, more people became interested in her.

She was like a cold beauty who was out of reach, making people want to get close to her but not dare to touch her easily. In this lively banquet, she became a unique and charming scenery.

However, Shen Jingyan seemed to not care about all this attention. Her mind seemed to be floating somewhere far away. She was just immersed in her own world, responding to everything with indifference.

The banquet was drawing to a close, the lights were on, and the once bustling banquet hall gradually became quiet. Guests were either leaving with satisfaction or chatting in groups, preparing to go home. However, at this moment, Jiang Xiyan's tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Shen Jingyan and grabbed her slender and tender hand.

"Jingyan, don't go yet. There is a very important social event waiting for us. This time we are going to meet several foreign business leaders. This opportunity is crucial to my company." Jiang Xiyan looked solemn, his eyes revealing a hint of eagerness and anticipation.

Hearing this, Shen Jingyan couldn't help but frown, feeling dissatisfied. She tried to break free from Jiang Xiyan's restraints, but he held her tightly. "Jiang Xiyan, don't go too far! I didn't want to come to this banquet in the first place, and now I finally waited until it's over, and you actually asked me to accompany you to the social event?" Her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, attracting the few people around to look at her.

"Jingyan, stop being childish." Jiang Xiyan bent down slightly, put his head close to Shen Jingyan's ear, and deliberately lowered his voice. "Do you know that this social event is very important to me?" The low and magnetic voice seemed to be covered by an invisible veil, and only the two of them could hear these private words clearly. His breath gently brushed past her ears, bringing a slight itch.

However, in the face of Jiang Xiyan's persuasion, Shen Jingyan's expression remained as cold as ice, like an iceberg that had not melted for a thousand years. Her beautiful eyes flashed with stubbornness and indifference, staring straight ahead, unmoved. She opened her red lips and responded coldly: "If it is so important, why do you take me with you? Aren't you afraid that I will deliberately make trouble and mess up your social event?"

"I believe you won't do that." Jiang Xiyan's handsome face suddenly flashed an elusive and fleeting smile, as if he was very satisfied with what you said. He stared at you with his deep eyes, and said softly: "Jingyan, you are an extremely intelligent woman. I believe you know very well in your heart how important this cooperation is to the two of us."

Hearing this, you couldn't help but frown and asked in confusion, "What does it mean?"

Jiang Xiyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and slowly explained: "This naturally means a bright future for us all. Jingyan, you might as well think about it. Once this cooperation can be successfully achieved, I will be able to spare more precious time to accompany you." As he spoke, he gently took your hand, his eyes filled with a trace of tenderness like water.

However, facing Jiang Xiyan's affectionate words, you felt disgusted, and suddenly shook off his hand, responding unceremoniously: "Humph, I don't need you to accompany me!"

"You don't have the final say," Jiang Xiyan held Shen Jingyan's hand tightly and walked out of the banquet hall without saying anything. The bright lights spilled out from the banquet hall, casting long shadows behind them. In the corridor, the gorgeous wall lamps emitted a soft light. He had a determined smile on his face, "You are my woman, I will accompany you if I want."
