Never Did He Care When She Cried (26)

Shi Che had a function to attend tonight. A long-time business partner's birthday party. That friendly partner had invited Shi Che cordially.

When Shi Che arrived with Zheng Rourou, the party had just commenced about ten minutes ago. They had arrived punctually.

Upon seeing Shi Che's arrival, Mr. Chen greeted him warmly and shook his hand. Smiling, he offered, "It's indeed my honor to have you here, Mr. Shi."

Shi Che retracted his hand slowly and with a smile, he replied, "You're most welcome."

Mr. Chen turned slowly to look at Zheng Rourou, she was indeed a beauty. With more smiles on his face, he lowered his voice, "Mr. Shi's companion is a pretty lady. You're so blessed."

As he spoke, his eyes twinkled with a mischievous tease.

Even though Shi Che did not bring Ling Chuxia out at functions and parties, Mr. Chen, being Shi Che's long time business partner, naturally knew that he was a married man. However, in such an elite social circle, every man was either rich and famous or came from an aristocratic background. Despite being married men, they also had female bosom friends. People like Shi Che, a charming rich man with a handsome face, definitely was in more demand than others.

Shi Che, oblivious to the hidden meaning in Mr. Chen's words, did not show too much expression. He remained reticent and discontinuation of the conversation brought some embarrassment to Mr. Chen.

Zheng Rourou was a well experienced socialite. Since she was able to capture Shi Che, she must have been an observant lady. She flashed her beautiful smile and continued, "Thank you Mr. Chen for your compliments."

Since Shi Che had not offered to introduce her, Zheng Rourou took the initiative and offered her hand to Mr. Chen. As she smiled at Mr. Chen, her attractive voice sounded, "Nice to meet you Mr. Chen. I'm Zheng Rourou."

Zheng Rourou was indeed a rare beauty, she had a sharp jawline and flawless skin. Her smiles melted Mr. Chen's heart. As he reached out his hand to hold hers, he could not resist squeezing it. He even took the liberty to caress the back of her hand.

Disturbed, Zheng Rourou frowned and expressed her displeasure. She was Mr. Shi's girlfriend after all. Mr. Chen was no match for Shi Che and yet he was so blatantly rude to her in front of him.

Zheng Rourou attempted to retract her hand, which Mr. Chen had grabbed on tightly. She suppressed her fury and turned to seek help from Shi Che. However, Shi Che was oblivious as he had just picked up a glass of wine from a serving tray which a waiter had brought.

Zheng Rourou was taken by surprise and she felt a little tight in her chest. However, she dared not voice her displeasure. She bit her lower lip gently and exerted more force to extricate her hand from Mr. Chen's grip.
