Chapter 183: Chapter 153: Let’s Have a Child_3

Qiao Na noticed it too; she glanced at Tang Xi and saw a worried expression between her eyebrows.

The moment she saw Tang Xi, she realized that Tang Xi had lost a lot of weight in just under two months.

Tang Xi’s lips turned white as she muttered, "I’m fine."

After chatting with Qiao Na for a few moments, the bodyguard approached and relayed that Fu Tingzhou was asking her to go to the banquet hall. She gave Qiao Na a smile before leaving.

Upon arriving at the banquet hall, Fu Tingzhou dominantly wrapped his arms around her waist, causing Tang Xi to stagger and fall into his embrace. It was in that moment, looking at Xu Yiran standing in front of Fu Tingzhou, that Tang Xi realized what Fu Tingzhou was intending to do.

The man was declaring that she was his possession, holding Tang Xi around the waist tightly.

Xu Yiran’s lip color turned pale, his hands clenched into trembling fists as he mouthed her name silently, lips quivering.

And Tang Xi, biting her lip.

Her eyes slowly reddening.

She averted her gaze gently.

Ji Chenzhi sensed the unusual atmosphere in the air and wanted to lighten the mood, but he touched his nose and sighed instead.

In the banquet hall, the soothing sound of a violin played melodiously.

But each person had their own thoughts.

Tang Xi felt somewhat uncomfortable confined in Fu Tingzhou’s embrace; his arms were as firm as steel, making her feel oppressed and suffocated. Tang Xi knew Xu Yiran was watching her all the while, but she couldn’t respond to him at all.

Thus, to him, it was also a form of protection.

In North City, who could gain any advantage from Fu Tingzhou?

The previous times Xu Yiran stayed with her in a rented apartment, a medical prodigy relegated to a small community hospital was unfair to him.

She kept her head down all the time.

Suddenly, the man forcefully lifted her chin with a pinch and pressed his dominating kiss onto her lips as she widened her eyes in shock.

Looking into his dark eyes, his desire for possession was clear.

She wanted to resist, but Tang Xi was aware.

She understood the consequences of her resistance.

She didn’t move.

Just letting Fu Tingzhou kiss her.

A fiery and furious gaze fell on Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou. Xu Yiran watched the couple kiss; Ji Chenzhi grabbed his hand, "Old Fourth, don’t be rash."

Xu Yiran just weakly, furiously clenched his fist.

Grinding his teeth tightly.

Tang Xi never looked at Xu Yiran from start to finish; she watched the brilliantly splendid banquet hall, observing the elegant ladies holding champagne. What was the theme of this dinner? Who organized it? She didn’t know any of it.

She only knew that Fu Tingzhou’s purpose had been achieved.

Asserting his authority, his desire for possession.

And warning her, as well as warning Xu Yiran.

Fu Tingzhou, even the leftovers and the useless trash, he wouldn’t allow others to have them.

Internally, Tang Xi managed a bitter smile, like a person with a masked facade, she stood beside Fu Tingzhou, keeping up a graceful shallow smile. He introduced her to many people, past business leads, making her seem like an exquisitely packaged doll, placed right beside him.

The dinner finished at 9:30 PM.

Xu Ze was waiting outside in the car.

Fu Tingzhou had drunk too much and closed his eyes as soon as he got in the car.

It was lightly raining outside.

Through the car window, she saw Xu Yiran walking out of the hall looking in the direction of the car, and for only a moment, their gazes met through the window.

The car had a privacy film, and Xu Yiran couldn’t see her.

But Tang Xi clearly saw Xu Yiran’s face, carrying a tinge of sorrow.

In that brief moment, Xu Ze started the car.

Tang Xi didn’t dare let Fu Tingzhou notice anything unusual, so she diverted her gaze.

She was not foolish. In all of North City, who could contend with the Fu Family? Fu Tingzhou was like a cultured yet cold-hearted madman. She didn’t wish to bring any adverse consequences to Xu Yiran because of herself.

They returned to Qingfeng Garden.

Xu Ze and Tang Xi together helped Fu Tingzhou back home.

After placing him on the bed, Tang Xi bent down to help him take off his shoes.

Then she helped him remove his suit and untie his tie. At that moment, Fu Tingzhou awakened acting, grabbed her hand tightly, then pulled her down on top of him and began kissing her.

Tang Xi disliked the smell of alcohol on him.

His kisses held no affection, only the cold and icy feel of alcohol and desire, with the unshaven stubble on his chin irritating her face. Tang Xi turned her head to dodge a bit.
