Chapter 342: Opening Match with Imperial Admiral (21)

Xavier coughed lightly, “It looks good.”

It was obvious that she liked the dress very much, and he didn’t want to ruin her expectations because of his inexplicable thoughts.

“I think it’s pretty, too.” Shen Shuyi’s shy smile showed a hint of pride and confidence.

On the day of the banquet, Shen Shuyi appeared in the Coruscant Garden Square with Xavier’s arm around her.

Xavier was wearing a black suit. He usually wore a military uniform, but today he looked particularly handsome in the suit. His temperament was still calm, exuding the unique charm of a mature man and a 3S-level Sentinel.

The moment Shen Shuyi held his arm, she clearly felt her heartbeat quickening.

This is a very attractive man.

As soon as the two appeared at the venue, they attracted a lot of attention.

The Coruscant Garden Hall was decorated extremely luxuriously, with bright lights, the aroma of wine, and handsome men and beautiful women dressed in exquisite clothes walking around.

Prince Edmund, who had not been seen for a long time, was also among them. He looked at the girl in the silver dress, and his eyes suddenly lit up, full of amazement.

In the past, he thought Shen Shuyi was beautiful, but she was stupid and vicious, not as kind and lovely as Hathaway.

I didn’t expect that after not seeing her for a long time, when I saw her again, she was so eye-catching.

Edmund couldn’t help but walk up to her and greet her, “Shu Yi.”

His eyes unconsciously lingered on Shen Shuyi’s delicate face, and he felt that she looked more elegant than before.

Shen Shuyi nodded coldly.

Xavier took her arm and took a step forward to block Edmund’s sight, pursing his thin lips.

“Your Highness, take your leave. I will take my wife to have some dessert. She has eaten very little today and I am afraid she will be hungry.”

Shen Shuyi held back her laughter. Was this still the ruthless Admiral Lancaster who was known for his few words? He even told others how much his wife ate. Was he trying to tell others that he and his wife were very close?
“Xavier, let’s go.” Shen Shuyi looked up at Xavier with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Edmund looked at their backs as they walked away arm in arm, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

Only then did he realize that the person who had always liked to stick to him was now married. Shen Shuyi had married Lancaster.

Everyone left, but Edmund was still standing there.

And at a corner not far away, Hathaway, who came to the party shamelessly, kept staring at Edmund.

Shen Shuyi!
Edmund was actually looking at Shen Shuyi the whole time!
Hathaway felt a sharp pain in her heart. If she didn’t understand what this meant, then she was stupid!

Edmund actually fell in love with Shen Shuyi!

What a cruel and insulting thing this is.

In the past, Edmund was willing to break off the engagement with Shen Shuyi for her, but he turned his back on her because she slept in the same bed with Dennison.

Now that her affair with Edmund had been exposed, Dennison had refused to see her again. This time she had the audacity to come to the party because she wanted to find Edmund and ask him to rekindle their relationship for the sake of their past friendship.

She doesn’t need the position of princess.
But what a result!

Hathaway hated Shen Shuyi. How could she, a C-level guide, marry Lancaster and become the admiral’s wife?

Why does it still attract Edmund’s attention now!
It would be great if Shen Shuyi died.
Shen Shuyi took the small cake and ate it slowly with a spoon. Xavier stood beside her with a glass of wine in his hand and took a sip elegantly.

She scooped up some cake with a small spoon and glanced at someone who kept looking at her with resentful eyes.

“Admiral, guess who I saw?”

“Who?” Xavier smiled and shook his glass gently. He looked very handsome under the light. “Hathaway, my half-sister.”

Shen Shuyi nodded, “Yes, it’s over there.”

Xavier didn’t move.

Shen Shuyi asked him, “Why don’t you take a look?”

“She’s not as pretty as you. Why would I want to see what she’s doing?” Xavier’s eyes passed through the wine glass and fixed on Shen Shuyi’s delicate little face.

Shen Shuyi’s face suddenly turned red. Was this man’s mouth filled with honey today?

She hummed softly, took a spoonful of cake and ate it, but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

“That’s because you don’t know that my ex-fiancé broke off the engagement with me because of her.”

“Why do you keep thinking about him?” Xavier said in a strange tone, “He is blind.”

Shen Shuyi was unexpectedly stabbed by him, and then given a sweet date.

Admiral Lancaster is a little strange today, is this focusing on her past?
Shen Shuyi smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, I will protect your face no matter what.”

She continued, “What happened in the past is in the past. From now on, I will definitely focus on being a good admiral’s wife.”

These words made Xavier’s expression relax a little, and his deep eyes kept staring at her, as if to confirm the truthfulness of her words.

Shen Shuyi showed him very frankly that her makeup today was perfect.

Xavier coughed lightly and said, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t thoughtful in what I said just now. It’s not that I don’t believe you.” In fact, everything on Starnet was about what she had done for Edmund. It was the wholehearted love of a woman in love for her lover.

He was thinking again that Shuyi had cooked delicious meals for him, but she had never cooked for Edmund!
I was thinking about what Shuyi had done for him.
Slowly, Xavier fell into a strange pattern of thought.

Is he jealous?

Xavier rarely attended the banquet, and many people came to toast him and chat with him. Shen Shuyi was not interested in listening, so he sat down in the garden to have a drink.

Suddenly, the system, which had been watching the fun, gave a warning.

[Host, Hathaway went to chat with Xavier.]
Shen Shuyi became interested, “66, see what they are talking about.”

[Host, don’t you trust Xavier?]
Shen Shuyi shook her head. “I was just watching the fun. I have never seen Xavier talking to other women.”

Hathaway observed for a long time and finally got the chance to walk towards Admiral Lancaster. She believed that if she could snatch Shen Shuyi’s man away once, she could do it a second time!
She walked gracefully to Xavier and greeted him, “Hello, brother-in-law, I’m Hathaway.”

Xavier gave her a cold look and said, “Shuyi doesn’t have a sister like you.”

Hathaway’s face froze. She was pretty, so Shen Shuyi must have said something bad about her to her!

She still didn’t want to give up this opportunity. It would be difficult for Dennison and Edmund to turn around, so it would be better to pry open Admiral Lancaster, whose status was more powerful than Dennison and Edmund.

“Sister is too overbearing. She has always been possessive. She also didn’t let me see Edmund before, but how can the admiral do the same? Now we are a family. Sister is controlling you too much.”

“Shut up and get out!” Xavier was impatient with her words.

“A person like you who gossips and stirs up discord is worthy of being Shuyi’s sister?”

Hathaway was speechless. This man was really heartless and had no sense of humor!

Seeing his cold eyes, Hathaway had to leave first, but that didn’t mean she would give up on having a powerful man like the admiral.

Sooner or later, she will step on Shen Shuyi again!
