Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 408 Those who can't see the light of day are called mistresses.
Although Su Ying was pregnant, her body hadn't changed; in fact, she had gained a more voluptuous charm, making her even more alluring than before. Just the sight of her face was enough to win her over.

"Miss Su's figure has already changed, isn't it a bit inappropriate for her to wear this?"

It was Qian Ke'er, followed by several bodyguards.

The staff immediately bent down to serve her, some carrying her bag, others pouring tea, showing great enthusiasm and courtesy.

It's no wonder the staff acted like sycophants; she's of high status and has a powerful background, so who wouldn't treat her with utmost respect?
"Miss Ke'er, it's such an honor to have you here. I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly!" the boss said politely.

Qian Ke'er didn't even glance at him, her gaze lingering on Xiao Shen as she asked, "Is my dress ready?"

"It's all done. Sorry to have kept Miss Ke'er waiting. Quickly, bring up Miss Ke'er's dress. Be careful not to ruin it!"

Su Ying smiled indifferently, "It really doesn't matter whether it looks good or not. No one says pregnant women can't wear wedding dresses. Oh, by the way, Miss Ke'er, are you also thinking about getting married? There are so many dresses to choose from, why did you pick a wedding dress shop?"

“I…” Qian Ke’er, the homeowner.

The shop owner quickly stepped in to smooth things over, which eased the tension.

Ke Qian Ke'er looked at Su Ying with utter contempt and made no attempt to hide it. Then, she turned her gaze to Xiao Shen, slowly approaching him in her high heels, ignoring Su Ying's presence, and placed her bright red nail polished hand on the man's shoulder.

"Brother Shen, I'm free tomorrow. Shall we talk about the goods? Seven o'clock tonight, see you then!"

After saying that, Qian Ke'er arrogantly brushed past Su Ying and left.

Xiao Shen's face didn't show much expression; of course, he neither refused nor accepted.

What does this man mean? Is he agreeing to the date? Ha! What a scoundrel!

Su Ying didn't want to talk to him anymore, and he didn't offer any explanation. When the two of them came out of the salon together, a group of reporters swarmed around them with their cameras and microphones.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, may I ask what your relationship is with this lady standing next to you?"

"Is this young lady trying on wedding dresses? You two aren't getting married, are you?"

"Mr. Xiao, was it because of this young lady that you abandoned thousands of families at your wedding?"

Could you please give everyone a proper introduction of this young lady?

"Mr. Xiao..."

"Mr. Xiao..."

Su Ying pretended to run away. She didn't want to become a public figure, and she didn't want to use Xiao Shen's fame to illuminate herself. She believed in keeping a low profile.

However, Xiao Shen grasped her hand tightly.

The man calmly faced the camera and said, "Alright, since everyone is so eager to know, let me introduce you to her. The lady standing next to me is... my wife! I hope to hold a grand wedding for her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a barrage of flashbulbs went off, nearly blinding Su Ying.

Reporter: "Mr. Xiao, may I ask which family your wife comes from? Someone worthy of you must be from a top-tier wealthy family, right?"

Reporter: Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, may I ask how you and your wife met? What are her special qualities? Another round of gossipy questions came one after another, and Xiao Shen answered them one by one with a smile, much more patiently than he usually appears on television.

Su Ying stood there dumbfounded, too weak to speak. Several times she had the urge to run away, but this guy held her hand tightly.

When the reporter turned the microphone towards her, Xiao Shen came to her rescue, "I'm sorry, my wife is shy and has social anxiety, so she's probably not able to accept any interviews. I'll invite you all to our wedding banquet on our wedding day!"

After saying that, he protected Su Ying to prevent her from being bumped into, and quickly and nimbly made his way through the crowd to get into the car.

"Why did you say that to the reporter just now?" Su Ying asked as her first question.

The man reversed, turned around, and accelerated—a series of fluid movements that quickly drove away from the street. A smirk played on his lips, an enigmatic smile on his face. "Am I wrong? Or do you want to be the woman I always keep hidden away from the light of day?"

"I am your legal wife. Those who can't be seen in public are called mistresses!" Su Ying said righteously.

The man let out a laugh, his shoulders trembling.

Su Ying frowned. "What are you laughing at?"

The car slowly approached the roadside. Xiao Shen hooked her chin, his eyes gleaming with a wicked charm. "So you knew about it too? I thought you didn't care!"

After saying that, he restarted the car.

Su Ying: “…”

So, what kind of person is this man?

He's flirting with Qian Ke'er while simultaneously playing the role of a devoted husband to the public. What's he really up to? Which one is the real him?
Xiao family.

Jiang Rourou held her phone, watching the video of Xiao Shen's affectionate gaze towards Su Ying and his protective manner towards her in front of numerous reporters, and she was incredibly jealous.

What's so special about this bitch besides her face? Why does Xiao Shen treat her like a treasure? Why does everyone in the Xiao family give her so much face?
Why? Why? Where did I go wrong compared to her?
If she had known Xiao Shen was so easy to seduce, she should have taken the bait back then. Maybe she, Jiang Rourou, would be the fourth wife now, and what would have become of Su Ying?

Looking at Xiao Shen, such a handsome and talented man, and then comparing him to Xiao Jiayang who had just entered the door, it was like comparing heaven and earth. Jiang Rourou was extremely disgusted and felt more and more unbalanced the more she compared them.

"I need to go out for some fresh air, you come with me!" Jiang Rourou said in a commanding tone.

Xiao Jiayang impatiently tossed the clothes aside, not even bothering to look at her properly. "Are you legless or what? Can't you go by yourself? I'm exhausted after a long day, I don't have the energy for that. Go by yourself!"

Jiang Rourou was already angry, and hearing this made her even angrier. She jumped up and said, "Xiao Jiayang, what do you mean? Look at Fourth Master, even with that status, he still spends a lot of time with Su Ying. And look at you, you're nothing, and you don't care about me at all. No wonder he's doing better than you!"

These words struck at Xiao Jiayang's weak spot, and he glared at him with a sinister look. "What do you mean?"

Jiang Rourou retorted, "What? Am I wrong? Look at yourself, not only have you failed in your career, but you're also constantly ostracized by the Xiao family. You're nothing in their eyes. If you weren't the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, who would care about you? Whether you can change your fate depends entirely on this child in my belly. You'd better treat us better, or I'll run off to someone else, and you'll lose everything, hmph..."

Xiao Jiayang quickly covered her mouth, "Keep your voice down, what if someone hears us?"

Jiang Rourou shook him off. "Hmph! Now you know fear? Then why don't you listen to me?"

The weather was nice today. Although it was cold, the sun was shining. Ning Zhiyuan accompanied Xiao Ruonan to the back garden.

"I already told you I don't need you to come with me. There are so many people in the Xiao family. I'm not a child anymore!" Xiao Ruonan complained, but she was secretly overjoyed.
