Chapter 51: Birthday Banquet (2)

  The car was a stretched-out RV, she curled up on one side, far away from him, such a distance, somewhat chilly.

  Snow glanced at the person beside her, only to see his profile, straight nose bridge, thin lips pursed, and chin slightly raised. His face was as cold as ever. She remembered that night, his vicious words, which seemed to want to tear her apart. She wasn't unaffected, after all, she was also human. Such unbridled language, such insults, had hurt her deeply. But seeing the repaired brooch on his chest, everything was forgiven once again.

  This was another man's token, and she knew that after becoming someone else's wife, she shouldn't have kept it, let alone taken it out. Since he knew, he should have destroyed it, but instead, he had the broken brooch repaired.

  "Th...thank you for fixing the brooch..." she said softly, looking into his eyes, but he remained in the same posture, as if he hadn't heard her words.

  The snow fell with an awkward silence, and I didn't know what else to say, so I just closed my mouth and sat quietly on one side.

  The car glided over the streets radiating colorful lights and stopped in front of a luxurious hotel, where a doorman immediately came forward to open the door.

  Cang Pu walked ahead, without waiting for the person behind her. The snow fell rapidly behind her, because the heel of her shoe was too high, making it difficult for her to adapt, so she didn't dare to walk too fast.

  Taking the elevator, straight to the top floor's banquet hall, as soon as they reached the floor, Xue fell and was afraid he would walk quickly and couldn't keep up. Seeing him step out with one foot, she hurriedly ran to catch up, but he slowed down his pace, almost causing her to bump into him.

  "Ah, sorry......" The result of the emergency brake was almost twisting her ankle, and the result of not falling down was that she stretched out her hand to hold onto the person beside her, her slender wrist wrapping around his arm.

  She glanced at him, stopped in her tracks, and her eyes were still filled with a hint of fear. Then, the hand that had been wrapped around his arm also hesitated and pulled back. However, he opened up his arm, gesturing for her to wrap it around him again. She steadied herself, and finally reached out her hand once more.

  The governor's 50th birthday, the people who attended were naturally all big shots. As soon as Snow fell and followed Cangmu into the gate, media flashlights, various gazes, and murmurs of discussion all came towards them.

  "Vito, you've finally arrived..." Governor James Carter stepped forward to shake his hand. Snow saw the man's smile in a social setting for the first time, neither warm nor cold, just right.

  "Governor Carter, sorry I'm late, happy birthday!"

  "It's not late, it hasn't started yet..." The appreciation in Governor Carter's eyes was obvious to anyone, and he looked at Xue Luo beside Cang Mu again, his eyes even more astonished, "Is this Vito's little wife?"

  "Hello, I'm Xue Luo...Fellton..." She said with a calm smile, without any hesitation, which made the people around her pause and turn their heads to look at her.

  "James? She's Vito's little wife?" The woman beside Carter asked him in Korean.
