Chapter 232: I Can Be Shy!

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: I Can Be Shy!The man had a square face, solemn countenance, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, with an aura of grand integrity between his brows. Dressed in a suit, he exuded an intense authority of a person of high status.

By his side was a woman in a white evening gown, still brimming with charm, dignified and virtuous, holding the man’s hand.

Merely the aura they both carried made it clear they were no ordinary people; behind them followed two men in black, their presence reserved, temples bulging, with piercing eyes—clearly masterclass in skill.

Everyone present looked at the pair with faces full of surprise.

"It’s actually Mayor Shen and Lady Shen!"

"I didn’t expect that even Mayor Shen and his wife would come tonight. The Yang Family truly deserves to be one of Tianhai’s Four Great Clans—their strength is indeed extraordinary!"

The crowd in attendance sighed with admiration, and from their discussion, it was clear that these two were Mayor Shen Yunfeng of Tianhai City and his wife.

As the Mayor of Tianhai City, backed by the powerful Shen Family, Shen Yunfeng was a person of great significance in Tianhai, someone countless people wished to connect with.

However, many hadn’t even had the opportunity to see Shen Yunfeng, so his presence here naturally caused a great shock to many.

At that moment, the elites of Tianhai surged forward, eagerly greeting him, hoping to use this opportunity to get to know this true heavyweight of Tianhai.

Yet, facing these people, Shen Yunfeng merely nodded slightly without saying much. At this time, Yang Huaimin quickly walked over with a smile and said,

"Welcome, Mayor Shen. Your presence truly brings glory to my Yang Family’s home!"

"Chairman Yang is too courteous," Shen Yunfeng said with a smile. "Yang Corporation is a flagship enterprise of Tianhai and has made significant contributions to the economic development of Tianhai. As the Mayor of Tianhai City, I naturally should come and pay my respects on the occasion of Yang Corporation’s 20th anniversary."

Shen Yunfeng spoke with a smiling face.

"Thank you for your concern, Mayor Shen. Yang Corporation will continue to contribute to the economy of Tianhai City in the future," Yang Huaimin said with a smile, then signalled to Yang Hao, who promptly came over.

"Mayor Shen, this is my son Yang Hao. Come, Yang Hao, greet Mayor Shen and Lady Shen," Yang Huaimin introduced.

"Mayor Shen, Lady Shen, it’s a pleasure to meet you," Yang Hao said as he looked at them.

"Young Master Yang is truly a handsome and talented young man. Very good, very good!" Shen Yunfeng affirmed with a nod as he looked at Yang Hao.

Everyone around looked on with envy as Shen Yunfeng praised Yang Hao, knowing that not many in Tianhai could earn such appreciation from him.

Many young men of Tianhai looked enviously at Yang Hao, each wondering when they might have the chance to make an impression in front of Mayor Shen.

At that moment, Ye Yaxin swiftly walked forward, eyes shifting.

"Hello, Mayor Shen," Ye Yaxin greeted as she approached Shen Yunfeng.

"President Ye, you’re here too!" Shen Yunfeng said, looking at Ye Yaxin with a faint smile,"President Ye is so young yet already at the helm of the vast Ye Corporation, heralded as a businesswoman of the Tianhai Business Community and blessed with unparalleled beauty, truly a goddess of wisdom and beauty."

"It’s a pity I don’t have a son, or else I would definitely want him to marry a goddess like President Ye."

"You flatter me, Mayor Shen!"

Ye Yaxin smiled gracefully, neither overly modest nor overly arrogant, carrying herself with an air of serene composure, prompting Shen Yunfeng to take another few glances.

"By the way, President Ye, I heard you’re engaged and have a fiancé. I’m not sure if he’s here today, but I would like to meet the man who is lucky enough to become President Ye’s fiancé!"

"This..." Ye Yaxin hesitated, unsure whether she should let Xiao Yifeng— that guy—come out.

With the way he was, Xiao Yifeng might cause a commotion in front of Mayor Shen and everyone else, and by then both the Ye Family and she would lose face.

"This brother here is President Ye’s fiance!"

At this moment, Xu Ming’s voice rose unexpectedly, and all at once, the gazes of the crowd and Shen Yunfeng and his wife shifted toward one spot.

In a corner to the side, a man clothed in cheap garments was guzzling red wine, relentlessly gobbling up the pastries and desserts in front of him.

He looked just like a country bumpkin, completely oblivious to the nature of the occasion.

He was also unaware that the eyes of the crowd had already fixed on him, and of course, this fellow was none other than Xiao Yifeng.

Earlier, Xiao Yifeng had felt a bit peckish, and seeing that there was red wine and an assortment of pastries, he had helped himself without reservation.

After all, he didn’t know anyone there and nobody was seeking him out, so he was more than happy to eat his fill in peace.

But he hadn’t expected that Xu Ming’s remark would draw everyone’s attention to him, and as they saw him eating and drinking like a glutton, he looked like a beggar who hadn’t had a proper meal in his entire life.

Many faces in the room showed peculiar expressions, with many eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

Some young masters even sighed inwardly, wondering how such a bumpkin could become the fiance of the esteemed goddess of Tianhai, likening it to a fresh flower stuck in cow dung.

Ye Yaxin watched Xiao Yifeng continue to help himself to food and drink, her complexion turning rather awkward, regretting her decision to bring him along.

It was indeed embarrassing, both Yang Hao and Xu Ming standing by couldn’t help but reveal a sneer at the corners of their mouths.

"President Ye, he’s your fiance, isn’t he? He really is something special!"

Shen Yunfeng also looked at Xiao Yifeng with a peculiar expression, his gaze unconsciously shifting towards Ye Yaxin, who was at a loss for words, her face etched with embarrassment. Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me?"

At this point, Xiao Yifeng finally reacted, looking around at the crowd with a puzzled expression on his face.

"I know I’m handsome, but you don’t have to keep staring at me like that, I’ll get shy!"

Xiao Yifeng suddenly said this with a feigned coyness.

Ugh...

The crowd felt an urge to vomit on the spot. Damn it, could this guy be any more shameless? Too despicable!

However, at this moment, Lady Shen, upon laying eyes on Xiao Yifeng, had her pupils dilate in surprise and quickly headed toward him.

Huh?

Everyone, upon seeing the Mayor’s wife suddenly approaching Xiao Yifeng, wore looks of shock, including Shen Yunfeng and Ye Yaxin, both of whom were somewhat taken aback, uncertain of what was happening.

"Sir, I’ve finally found you, you’re actually here! That’s wonderful!"

Lady Shen approached Xiao Yifeng, speaking excitedly.

"Do we know each other?" Xiao Yifeng looked at the charming and mature woman, a bit puzzled, thinking to himself.

He wondered if she could be one of the women he had slept with but quickly dismissed the thought, as he had no recollection of her.

If Xiao Yifeng’s thoughts were overheard by others, they would probably curse at him, pointing fingers and exclaiming, "You bastard, you even dare to sleep with the Mayor’s wife; do you no longer wish to live!"
