Hunt her

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Shen Yi had lost weight, and so had Yan Xu.

Shen Yi helped her straighten her skirt, habitually doing things for her, seemingly forgetting that they had already signed a divorce agreement.

Yan Xu stopped him, saying, "No need, thank you."

Shen Yi's hand froze in mid-air. A moment of sadness passed as he stood up: "It's beautiful. If I had known you would look so good in a wedding dress, I would have made sure you wore one back in Yunzhao County."

They haven't taken wedding photos yet.

Yan Xu smiled with relief: "Regret is the norm."

At this moment, Su Xiao also came out after changing her clothes, but Su Xiao's clothes were custom-made, not rented.

The fitted fishtail dress Su Xiao wore accentuated her feminine charm.

Shen Yi walked over, glanced at Su Xiao's clothes, and commented, "Not bad."

Su Xiaoyang smiled and said, "Your dress is also quite nice."

The two of them look very well-matched standing together.

At least in Yan Xu's eyes, Shen Yi should be with a girl like this.

Yan Xu snapped out of her daze: "Go put on your makeup."

Receptionist: "I'll take you there."

After Yan Xu left the VIP room, Shen Yi immediately distanced himself from Su Xiao, and his eyes changed from gentle to cold.

Shen Yi left with the words, "I'm taking a car to the ballroom."

He originally came to the dress shop because Su Xiao messaged him saying that she ran into Yan Xu trying on dresses at the shop.

If it weren't for Yan Xu as an excuse, he probably wouldn't have even given her a glance.

Su Xiao watched his resolute back as he walked away, her heart aching: "She doesn't want you, and you won't even look at me?"

The dressing room.

Yan Xu only asked the dressing room to do light makeup, so that she could remove it more easily when she got home.

Yan Xu has good skin; even without makeup, just drawing her eyebrows and applying lipstick makes her stand out in a crowd.

The makeup artist couldn't help but praise, "I rarely meet girls with such good skin and looks as you, and you haven't even used any technology on your face."

Pure, natural, and top-tier beauty.

Yan Xu was used to such praise and smiled slightly: "Thank you."

However, throughout the entire makeup process, Yan Xu didn't look at her face; her gaze remained fixed on the dress she was wearing, lost in thought...

If we had gotten married and taken wedding photos in Yunzhao County, would there have been fewer regrets?

Which girl wouldn't want to wear a wedding dress for the boy she likes?

But she could only console herself that the past was not worth spending time thinking about anymore.

After getting my makeup done, I only had half an hour before the ball, so I could get there by car in no time.

Just then, Xiao Jingxing called.

"Xiao Xu, are you on your way?"

"I'm getting ready to take a taxi."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door. Be careful on the way."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Xu lifted her skirt and walked outside.

But to my surprise, I saw a very familiar figure at the door.

"Shen Yi?" Yan Xu stopped. "Are you waiting for Su Xiao?"

When Shen Yi turned around, he was stunned by her beauty. She was wearing light makeup and a wedding-style evening gown.

"I'll wait for you," he said earnestly and affectionately.

Yan Xu almost lost herself in his gaze, but she shook her head and said, "No need, I've already taken a taxi."

Shen Yi didn't give her a chance to refuse: "Then cancel it."

Yan Xu reminded him, "We are already divorced."

Shen Yi's eyes darkened: "We haven't officially gotten the divorce certificate yet, so it doesn't count."

"..." Yan Xu couldn't argue with him, "I'll take the carriage myself."

She walked towards the intersection on her own, ignoring Shen Yi who was following her.

Even as she was about to open the back door and get in, Shen Yi followed her.

Yan Xu: "You drive yourself."

Shen Yi opened the passenger door and got in: "Get in quickly, don't keep the driver waiting too long."

"..."

There wasn't a single word exchanged inside the ride-hailing car.

Yan Xu kept looking out the window, while Shen Yi kept looking at Yan Xu through the rearview mirror.

The two tacitly remained silent.

The driver could tell at a glance that the two were arguing, so he turned on the car's music system and played various sad songs.

Yan Xu and Shen Yi: "..."

When the song "Happy Breakup" came on, Shen Yi couldn't hold back anymore.

He switched to the next song, and Yan Xu saw his action and the corner of his mouth curled up.

The driver, an experienced man who had seen it all, criticized Shen Yi: "Look at you, you can't bear to break up, but you won't apologize to your girlfriend and coax her. How can this be? Couples only get stronger when they argue."

Shen Yi complained, "She was the one who wanted to break up with me, I got dumped..."

The driver was speechless.

Yan Xu didn't know what to say. Should she try to coax him as the uncle suggested? But how could they get a divorce if she did that?

More than twenty minutes later, the car slowly stopped in front of the ballroom.

Yan Xu saw Xiao Jingxing's tall figure standing on the steps, looking around, through the car window.

As soon as she opened the car door, Shen Yi rushed around to her side and reached out to support her waist without saying a word.

"I can walk by myself," Yan Xu protested in a low voice, but the warmth of his palm made her heart tremble.

Xiao Jingxing's smile froze on his face, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two: "Xiao Xu, let's go in."

"Okay," Yan Xu replied, and tried to walk away, but stumbled slightly as Shen Yi suddenly tightened his grip on her fingers.

Shen Yi pulled the person closer to him, giving Xiao Jingxing a provocative smile: "Now that I, her legal husband, am here, it's only right that I accompany her to the ball. You can skip it."

He spoke bluntly, even with a hint of disdain.

In Shen Yi's eyes, Xiao Jingxing, like Xu Jing, was someone who was trying to steal his partner.

Before Yan Xu could refuse, Shen Yi had already taken her hand and led her into the hall.

Many guests had already arrived at the ballroom, and the air was filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and lively conversation.
