Why would it be Nicholas Scott and Scarlett Williams? Aren't they the main characters? So all the commotion and auditions before were just for supporting roles? James Dalton must be rolling in money! I stole a glance at Dominic Hartnell standing beside me, his face calm and composed. My eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Dominic Hartnell doesn't like Nicholas Scott, so how is it possible that he's here to play him without any reaction? It's not that I enjoy tormenting myself, but even if he gave me a cold look or a menacing stare, it would be better than his calm reaction right now. It's just too abnormal. There must be something strange going on. It's a bit unsettling, I must say. I held onto Dominic Hartnell's arm and shook it gently, whispering, "Darling, let's go home." Regardless of whether he truly doesn't care, I think it's best for them to stay away from each other at this moment. Storms after a period of calm are usually fierce and intense. I'm worried. However, Dominic Hartnell is acting as if nothing is wrong. When he turned his head, I noticed a slight curl of his lips, accompanied by a faint smile. "What's wrong? It's just the beginning. I haven't even greeted Jingxuan yet." "And I saw a few business partners. It's appropriate to say hello when we meet, isn't it?" "Wife, are you tired? Let me take you to sit nearby and get you some food. Be good, we'll go back later, it won't be long." Dominic Hartnell's words were reasonable, and his attitude was considerate and gentle, leaving me speechless and unable to argue. I reluctantly let him lead me to a resting area, and he brought me some food. "Wife, if you're tired, sit here and eat while waiting for me. I'll go talk to Jingxuan and greet a few acquaintances." What could I say? I could only agree. "Well, go ahead, but... darling, I want to go back early. Hurry up." Dominic Hartnell nodded with a smile and turned to blend into the crowd. I sighed silently, hoping that I was just being overly worried. After all, this is James Dalton's banquet, and Dominic Hartnell should show him respect. I leaned against the cushion on the sofa, absentmindedly eating the cake in my hand. Actually, it tasted pretty good, but I couldn't fully enjoy it because I was constantly keeping an eye on Dominic Hartnell's movements. Fortunately, Dominic Hartnell and Nicholas Scott were just chatting in their respective circles and hadn't run into each other.As time went on, the tension in my heart slowly loosened. The piece of cake on the plate, which I had already eaten most of, became even more delicious than before. "Miss Zhong, nice to see you again. You look very lively." I paused with the fork in my hand and raised my head in surprise. When did Gu Xingchen arrive? I didn't see her before. And what did she mean by that sudden "Ustranasion"? My brain froze for a moment. After a while, I switched back to English and Chinese meanings. She was just saying hello, right? She thought I looked good? Probably, maybe that's what she meant. If it weren't for Gu Xingchen's always friendly attitude and constant smile, I wouldn't want to bother with her.Mainly because every time I met her and talked to her, I felt like I was losing brain cells. It's not like I can't speak Mandarin, why do I have to speak Ustranasion? Doesn't she know about "pregnancy brain"? Besides, I've already forgotten most of my Ustranasion, so what's the benefit of me having to figure out the meaning and translate it for her every time? Moreover, she is a potential threat to me. Even if she has an engagement and her potential partner is Nicholas Scott, I still feel like she has her eyes on Dominic Hartnell. But I'm the kind of person who is soft-hearted. If someone shows kindness first, I can't pretend not to see it. Just like now, even though I've complained about her in my heart countless times, I still can't bring myself to give her the cold shoulder. After placing the plate on the table, I politely smiled and greeted her."Hello, Miss Gu." That should be enough, I've greeted her and exchanged pleasantries, now I can leave and do whatever I need to do. Sigh, if I had known there would be so many unexpected encounters, I wouldn't have come to this banquet. It's a bit disheartening. However, Gu Xingchen didn't leave. Instead, she sat down on the sofa opposite me. I was a bit dumbfounded and wanted to ask her, "Beauty, we're not familiar, is it awkward for you to sit down like this?" Without giving me a chance to complain any further, I heard Gu Xingchen ask, "I heard that Miss Zhong has already obtained a marriage certificate with Han Na." "Congratulations." I silently shook my head, satisfied that she didn't bring up the topic of Ustranasion with me again. As for her hearing about me and Dominic Hartnell getting married, I wasn't too surprised. After all, we have mutual acquaintances, more than one actually. Since she had already offered her congratulations, I naturally had to respond. I simply said, "Um, thank you." Then Gu Xingchen asked again, "Miss Zhong, how many months has it been? Are you close to giving birth? Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" I pursed my lips, not wanting to make things too clear. So I politely replied, "It's still early to give birth, and whether it's a boy or a girl doesn't matter. They are both mine and Dominic Hartnell's baby." When I said this, I had a deliberate intention. After all, I am now legally Mrs. Han, so I have to assert my presence. Of course, I also hoped that Gu Xingchen would stop here and not continue the conversation. We barely even nodded at each other, so we really didn't have much to talk about.It's all Dominic Hartnell's fault. Why did he have to go and greet that person and establish a connection? He used to be more reserved and not so easygoing. And he has been chatting for so long, why hasn't he come back yet? I really want to go home. Fortunately, Gu Xingchen finally seemed to pick up on my brainwaves and, after a few more meaningless words, finally expressed her intention to leave. If it weren't for the sake of politeness, I would have wanted to applaud her departure. After finally seeing Gu Xingchen off, I felt relieved all over. I finally understood the meaning of "words that don't match half a sentence." It's exhausting and frustrating to talk to someone who doesn't receive the same signals as you. But I had barely settled down when another individual, who made me feel utterly powerless, took a seat in front of me.
