670 Nearly Exposed
Su Kun looked at the contents of the message on his phone and fell silent. Su Ming was asking him if Chu Ning had always been so different.
Su Kun recalled that previously, at the manor in M City, Chu Ning had threatened a heiress with a table knife right in front of him. He suddenly felt that there was nothing surprising about eating a slice of cake.
Su Kun was indeed someone who had seen things. He quickly treated this as a small matter and replied to Su Ming: Don’t act like you haven’t seen the world. It’s just a cake. What’s so different about it?
When Su Ming received the reply, he raised his eyebrows. He had not seen the famous scene of Chu Ning threatening others, and Su Kun had never mentioned it in detail, either. That was why he thought that his father really had high hopes for Chu Ning. Otherwise, he would not uttered such nonsense.
When it was eight o’clock, Su Ming straightened his clothes and revealed himself from the stairs on the second floor with a polite smile on his face.
Everyone in the hall was paying attention to what was happening on the second floor. The moment Su Ming appeared, everyone’s gazes turned towards him.
Under the spotlight-like gazes, Su Ming did not even change the angle of his smile. A secretary followed behind him as he walked down from the second floor with steady steps.
When he walked to the stage in front of the hall on the first floor, Su Ming smiled and nodded at everyone. The secretary beside him immediately brought over a microphone.
Su Ming took the microphone and looked at the peers below the stage. “Good evening, everyone. I’m very happy that you could come to my cruise party. This party is the first activity I’ve prepared after returning from abroad. I requested for no bodyguards and secretaries, firstly, as our Su family has enough power to let everyone pass these few days comfortably. Secondly, we don’t want any conflicts to happen in these few days.”
Su Ming swept his gaze across the crowd and took in their expressions. “I don’t want to see any physical conflict at this event. I believe that everyone here is willing to dignify me and the Su family with this.”
His voice carried with it a veiled threat, but Su Ming quickly changed his tone. “However, the main purpose of this party is to make friends. We’re of similar age, so there’s no need to be courteous or awkward. Please let us know if you have any needs or requirements. The most important thing is to have fun these few days.”
Su Ming passed the microphone to the secretary behind him, and the people below the stage immediately started clapping.
Su Ming walked off the stage and smiled at the people around him. He kept moving towards the spot where he saw Chu Ning and Yan Shen.
The moment Su Ming showed up, Chu Ning and Yan Shen put down the plates in their hands and stood up with the crowd. They nodded and clapped when they should. Only when Su Ming finished speaking did Yan Shen turn his head to ask Chu Ning, “Do you still want to eat?”
Chu Ning turned her head to look at Yan Shen. She felt that he seemed to be going astray under her influence. She couldn’t help but worry that the head of the Yan family would settle the score with her if he found out.
However, looking at Yan Shen’s pure gaze, Chu Ning sighed without complaint. She had realized in the past that Yan Shen was a little rigid. When he hated her, he would leave a few meters distance between them, but when he wanted to get to know her and play with her, she could not chase him away no matter what. “Are you still hungry?”
Yan Shen shook his head. He had been controlling his diet recently. Dr. Ji advised him to eat healthily and not eat too much to avoid putting too much of a burden on his body. He had already eaten a lot that day, and some of them were even high in sugar. He could not eat any more.
Chu Ning recalled what and how much he had eaten. She frowned slightly. “You ate so little, and you’re already full?”
Yan Shen looked at her expression and nodded. However, he was a little nervous, worried that Chu Ning would find out.
Chu Ning frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Are you suffering from anorexia?”
After hearing the first few words, Yan Shen’s heart was about to leap into his throat. When he heard the word ‘anorexia’, he felt an indescribable complexity inside — relaxed, yet a little disappointed. Perhaps he had also hoped that there was someone he could trust and share this secret with without reservation.
However, in the face of Chu Ning’s ridiculous guess, Yan Shen still smiled and shook his head. “I don’t have anorexia. I just eat less.”
