Chapter 233: Chapter 233: To Tell or Not to Tell
Everyone was startled, followed by a collective gasp that echoed around the room.
Almost everyone turned their gaze toward the source of the sound, searching the entire venue for its origin.
Song Xun’s face also changed.
Song Huaisan and Mrs. Song’s eyes darkened, a touch of panic visible, yet they tried hard to maintain their composure.
The Shen couple was also stunned.
Shen Shuyi’s face went pale, as the color drained from her cheeks instantly.
The host was also extremely embarrassed, still trying to salvage the situation.
"It seems today is a day for jokes, the bride and groom are very much in love, let’s move on to the next part of the ceremony!"
Before the source of the earlier voice could be identified, suddenly, another sentence rang out.
"Song Xun, do you dare say you love Shen Shuyi?"
As the voice sounded, a tall figure walked in from one side of the banquet hall.
The young man looked to be in his mid-twenties, with sharp brows and piercing eyes, staring directly at where Song Xun and Shen Shuyi were standing.
As soon as this young man appeared, he immediately captured the attention of everyone in the room.
Song Xun furrowed his brow slightly, meeting the man’s gaze with a cold indifference in his eyes.
And Shen Shuyi, upon seeing the newcomer, was also stunned, then her brows furrowed.
It seemed she knew the man.
At that moment, the young man snorted and said loudly, "Song Xun, you dare not say it, do you?"
Song Xun, who hated being threatened, saw the man threatening him and tightened his brows, a trace of anger tinting his cold pupils.
Shen Shuyi was nervous, took a step forward, and grabbed Song Xun’s arm.
Song Xun turned to look at her, and Shen Shuyi was startled by the fury in his dark eyes. Her pupils shrank and she whispered, "I’ll make him leave right away!"
Song Xun narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "No rush, let him speak!"
"Song Xun!" Shen Shuyi was really worried, afraid he would get angry.
But Song Xun remained calm, his face showing no real anger, though the rage in his eyes was restrained.
Shen Shuyi was very wary; she instinctively looked towards Mrs. Song for help.
And Mrs. Song was naturally paying close attention to the situation.
At that moment, Song Muyu was also beside her, a bit shocked; regardless, such a drama unfolding at a wedding was inappropriate.
Who the man was remained unknown, but his words had indeed taken Song Muyu aback.
Yet she also found it amusing that if Song Xun did not like Miss Shen, he wouldn’t have gotten engaged to her.
He was doing this for the Song Family, but he was certainly not the type of man who acted solely for the sake of benefits.
"Heh!" The man chuckled coldly as he walked over, positioning himself three meters in front of Song Xun and Shen Shuyi, and scoffed, "Song Xun, you dare not say in front of everyone that you love Shen Shuyi?"
Song Xun remained silent, quite capable of keeping his composure.
Of course, he didn’t dodge either, meeting the eyes of the newcomer.
"Huo Chenxi, what are you doing?" Shen Shuyi could not help but speak.
Huo Chenxi looked at her, smiled faintly, and said, "Shuyi, naturally I came to bless your engagement ceremony, and also to see if your fiancé is worthy of your lifelong trust."
His words sounded grand, but his behavior seemed rather provocative.
Everyone watching felt that this man had an unusual relationship with the bride.
"I don’t need that from you," Shen Shuyi’s tone also cooled. "If you truly wish to bless me, please find a seat quickly. Don’t ruin this for me!"
Huo Chenxi heard her and gave a bitter smile, "Shuyi, why do you torment yourself like this for Song Xun?"
"Huo Chenxi!" Shen Shuyi said sternly, "That’s enough!"
"I’m sorry, Shuyi." Huo Chenxi tugged at his lips apologetically and continued to interrogate Song Xun, "Song Xun, are you afraid to answer my question because the person you love isn’t Shuyi, but—"
Before he could finish, Shen Shuyi cut him off entirely.
"I told you to stop!" Shen Shuyi’s face turned pale as she shouted harshly.
Huo Chenxi’s gaze shifted to her, and after a slight pause, his eyes slowly moved towards Song Xun, sizing him up, before settling on Song Muyu standing behind him.
Song Xun’s eyes tightened as he saw him look towards Song Muyu, his pupils shrinking several times.
Huo Chenxi laughed. "Song Xun, won’t you speak?"
His gaze still fixed on Song Muyu.
Song Muyu felt terrified under his stare.
She always felt that Huo Chenxi knew something, otherwise he wouldn’t look at her with such a penetrating gaze.
Could the little matter between her and Song Xun have been discovered?
What exactly did Huo Chenxi mean by looking at her like that?
The entire engagement ceremony hall fell silent.
Everyone was watching the scene with gossip-filled gazes.
It was like watching a TV drama, all waiting to see what would happen next.
Shen Shuyi looked horrified, glancing at Huo Chenxi, trying with her eyes to stop him from continuing.
What did he know?
Song Xun was also taken aback, watching Huo Chenxi, who was looking at Muyu.
At that moment, Huo Chenxi spoke, "Miss Song Muyu!"
"Chenxi!"
"Huo Chenxi!"
Shen Shuyi and Song Xun spoke out together to stop him.
At that moment, Song Muyu felt her head buzzing, her heart tumultuous.
She had a bad feeling that Huo Chenxi definitely knew something.
She looked at Huo Chenxi, trying to stay calm.
Huo Chenxi turned to Song Xun with a smile. "Song Xun, why so nervous? I thought you wouldn’t be."
"Mr. Huo, your words leave me somewhat puzzled." Song Xun responded calmly with a smile, "Today is my engagement day with Shuyi, and I certainly wouldn’t want any scandal to upset Shuyi."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi immediately teared up, moved and unsure of what to say.
At this moment, Song Muyu timely said, "Mr. Huo, it seems you are Shuyi’s relative, so naturally, you worry about whether she will be happy!"
Huo Chenxi was just about to speak.
Song Muyu continued, "But, today is my brother’s engagement day, and even if we are worried, we should restrain ourselves, shouldn’t we?"
Huo Chenxi narrowed his eyes slightly, meeting Song Muyu’s gaze.
Song Muyu was certain, if he truly worried for Shen Shuyi, he wouldn’t continue making a scene.
But if not, then he surely would.
"Yes, I’ve been restraining myself!" Huo Chenxi said with a casual smile. "I just wanted to hear your brother say he loves Shuyi. Is that so difficult?"
"Some people are accustomed to expressing their love openly, while others are naturally reserved and do not like to vocalize their affection. But that doesn’t mean they don’t hold love in their hearts, right, Shuyi?" Song Muyu turned to look at Shen Shuyi.
Song Muyu knew very well that if she didn’t speak up now, Huo Chenxi might reveal something irreversible.
Once that happened, there would truly be no way to remedy the situation.
And her speaking up wasn’t for anything else, but as a means of self-protection.
Huo Chenxi laughed. "Miss Song is wise, but unfortunately, your brother is too rigid. Song Xun, today I just want to hear you say you love Shuyi. Will you say it, or will you not?"
