Chapter 1113: Four People Ran into Each Other
As soon as Scarlett entered the venue, she grabbed the wrist of the man walking in front of her, complaining, "Why are you walking so fast? Iâm right behind you, didnât you see?"
Xi Zelie pulled her hand away in disgust, extremely cold, "I only agreed to walk the red carpet with you, just to walk. How fast or slow you walk has nothing to do with me."
Originally, he hadnât even planned to walk the red carpet with her; it was only because of someone elseâs request that he accompanied her.
Yet she kept dawdling on the red carpet.
He didnât like the flash bulbs, nor did he like too much noise. Since she liked it, what was wrong with leaving her behind?
Scarlett could feel the cool fingertips of the hand holding her wrist, her heartbeat involuntarily quickening a beat, and the next second, her hand was mercilessly pulled away.
No matter how slow Scarlett realized things, she sensed Xi Zelieâs rejection of her. Her cheeks flushed slightly red, wanting to argue with him, but then noticed the current setting. She was mindful of her image and had to force a sweet smile while complaining, "Being relatable is a royal family principle. Walking a bit slower is also for the royal image."
"Iâm not part of the royal family, so I donât need to!" Xi Zelie replied indifferently.
"Youâ" Scarlett was rendered speechless, almost blurting out, "Youâre not, but your mother is the Princess."
But she swallowed those words with resentment!
She didnât want to acknowledge that woman as the Princess!
Who does that woman think she is, to be worthy of being her mother!
Xi Zelie didnât care what she was thinking at all. His rosy thin lips revealed coldness and indifference, and he said flatly, "I want to find a quiet corner. You probably donât want to be with me. So letâs part ways here."
"Youâre not going to stay with me?" Scarlett couldnât believe her ears.
Xi Zelie, when it came to women, still retained some gentlemanly demeanor. Although he didnât like the nominal sister, unrelated by blood, he still patiently answered her, "I donât like socializing."
He didnât like such occasions, nor did he like socializing!
He never liked it before, and he wonât like it now. He had left the Xize family before precisely because he didnât want to attend all those pointless banquets. Even though he was back now, it didnât mean he had changed his personality.
He came back, just for one person.
That person hadnât arrived yet, and he wasnât interested in anyone else. He just wanted to be a bit quiet, without being disturbed! Itâs that simple!
"But you..." She hadnât finished her sentence.
There was a commotion in the hall, with many eyes clearly looking towards the side entrance position.
Scarlett couldnât help but follow their gaze and immediately saw the dazzling man in the crowd. The kind of brilliance he exuded was different from the brilliance Xi Zelie gave her; it was aggressive, intense, the kind that grabbed your attention at a glance.
Her heart started pounding anxiously.
Just as she was about to approach, she noticed the impossibly dazzling man had someone beside himâa person with merely a simple blue skirt, yet wore it with indescribable comfort.
Although not stunningly beautiful at first glance, the more you looked, the more attractive they seemed. Standing beside such a dazzling man, they somehow didnât get completely overshadowed.
Together, the two gave off a surprisingly fitting feeling!
Just as this thought arose in Scarlettâs mind, she felt utterly ridiculous!
