Chapter 9

On the night of her birthday, after trying on clothes and shoes, Yunxi did not leave her room.

The next weekend, Shen Mingxu changed his usual gentlemanly business-style British style and wore a light yellow shirt with a beige casual suit. He walked to Yunxi's door with a white cane and knocked, "Yunxi, wear the skirt you bought last night and come home with me."

What was he going to do?

Shao Yunxi had been refusing to come out of the room, because she felt that the clothes Shen Mingxu gave her were too unusual and she didn't need such clothes at all. As a result, this person didn't go upstairs to exercise early in the morning, but came directly to find her.

"Wait a minute."

After changing her skirt in a few seconds, Yunxi ran barefoot to open the door for him.

Her face was rarely so red. When Shen Mingxu saw Yunxi opening the door and her anxious look, he almost couldn't help but pull her into his arms. He looked down and saw that her white and tender feet were actually bare, and her round toes were small and cute. She really hadn't changed at all.

"The shoes don't fit?"

"No, no, I was too anxious." She turned around and put on her shoes.

"Slow down." In Shen Mingxu's concept, it is more difficult for girls to wear high heels. He took a step forward with his cane, and thought about not entering her room, so he stood still. Seeing Yunxi change her shoes and trot over, he almost opened his arms to welcome her, "Ahem, ahem, my father's birthday today, you be my female companion and accompany me home, let's go."

"I, I, I'm not wearing makeup." Would it be too rude for her to attend Shen Zhongheng's birthday like this? Yunxi hesitated.

"It's already very beautiful, let's go."

Shen Mingxu walked with big steps because of his height and lameness, but his left leg was stiff and sluggish. He relied on his right leg and cane for support, twisting his waist to lead his left leg forward, and his bumpy figure was very obvious. Yunxi followed him and reached out to help him several times. Seeing his tightly pursed lips and cold profile, she finally resisted the urge to help him.

The gate of the top mansion in Nandu was completely different from Shen Mingxu's light luxury villa. Yunxi carried the young man with white jade fingers gently on his legs, occasionally slowly lifted up to show her the way, and easily crossed the threshold of class. She drove the car into the gate of the Shen family. There were already a group of housekeepers in suits and leather shoes neatly saluting.

"Let's get off the car, they will park the car." When they arrived at the door, Shen Mingxu pointed at the door with his bony fingers to signal Yunxi to stop. "This place is relatively large, and my parents spend most of their time here. Occasionally, they go to the country villa and live in Switzerland and the UK."

Looking at the rows of luxury cars on the dark asphalt road in the distance, Yunxi could imagine that there were many relatives attending the birthday party.

From the moment he got off the car, Shen Mingxu's movements were obviously slower than usual. Yunxi saw that he still held the cane firmly but his steps were dragging. She took small steps to his side and tried to reach out and grab his sleeve. The limping man tilted his head slightly. Although he did not cast all his eyes on her, his arm was naturally bent, allowing her to support and pull him, and also to guide her.

With a handsome face, but too thin, Shen Mingxu's coldness and disability were eliminated by the slender and weak person in his arms. Yunxi was wearing a wide silk suspender tube top wrap dress. The perfect waist-to-hip ratio and thin and white arms were enough to attract people's attention. Moreover, her eyebrows were thin and curved like the indigo of distant mountains, and her lips were pure and beautiful. Anyone with eyes could see that Shen Mingxu's female companion was a top beauty.

The arrival of the couple instantly turned the scattered chatting hall into a gossip-focused area. Shen Mingxu did not intend to hide it and took Yunxi into the center of the vortex.

"My friend."

It was Shen Mingxu's simple and mysterious introduction to Yunxi that ignited everyone's enthusiasm. When did such a beautiful and elegant beauty appear in the social circle? How did she become the female companion of the little son of the Shen family who hardly socialized?

The two of them stood arm in arm in front of Shen Zhongheng and his wife. With just a few words of introduction, the two elders were already smiling.

During the meal, many women and young people were seated at another table. Yunxi was held tightly by Shen Mingxu, and the housekeeper had no intention of separating them. He politely arranged the young son to sit next to Mrs. Shen. The head of the Shen family, his wife, the two sons and their daughters-in-law, and the important relatives of the Shen family sat down in turn.

From the moment Yunxi entered the door, Mrs. Shen had asked someone to bring her own silver-white cashmere shawl to keep Yunxi warm. Her son was careless, so she had to take care of his girlfriend on his behalf.

After the meal, I accompanied the older generation to listen to two plays. As soon as the famous actors and actresses finished their performance, several familiar stars came to cheer them up. The band played some cheerful music at the right time. The atmosphere in the entire mansion hall was obviously much more relaxed and pleasant.

The highly educated and sociable celebrity host quickly heated up the atmosphere on the scene. From the moment Shen Mingchen and his wife were invited to the center to dance, the scene was completely out of control. The young people took the initiative and started a free and relaxing time of singing and dancing.

"Yunxi, let me see your academic performance." He looked at the dancing people with his narrow eyes, and then at Yunxi. The meaning of the invitation was clear.

"Ah, okay." She opened her eyes wide and looked at his face. Shen Mingxu was in a good mood. Yunxi immediately stood up and put down her shawl. Before he stood up to invite her, she took the initiative to hold his right hand.

Let Yunxi hold his hand, Shen Mingxu stood up with his left hand holding the cane. There was a white knot at the bend of the white cane's armrest. He put his hand through it and hung the cane on his wrist. Using Yunxi's hand-holding posture, he tapped the ground with the cane and limped into the dance floor with her.

No one expected that Shen Mingxu, who had bad legs and feet, could dance. Although he could dance and looked better than the stars present, he always looked cold and kept people at a distance. Even when he was not disabled, he had never danced with any rich girl. So, it was undoubtedly a big surprise that Shen Mingxu could come to dance.

The dance music was soothing. Shen Mingxu put his arms around Yunxi's waist, lending himself a little strength. He moved slowly and seemingly casually, his affectionate eyes only staring at her. The people around him all turned into blocks of color in his eyes. He looked calm and affectionate on the surface, but nervous and ups and downs in his heart. He was afraid that he would fall in front of people, and his forehead was already sweating slightly.

With her arms around Shen Mingxu's waist, Yunxi was more than just a good dancer. She followed his steps and danced gracefully, taking care of his condition to prevent him from falling down due to his left leg being too slow to move. She was dignified and beautiful, but she was actually more tired than anyone else present.

When the birthday boy and several elders left the hall and went upstairs, the music was deliberately directed by someone and the tempo was gradually increased. Shen Mingxu had problems walking. He had no cane and it was very difficult to move his left leg. He was reluctant to let the delicate body in his arms bear the force. Before leaving the dance floor, Shen Mingxu really didn't want to endure it anymore. He used a little force with his big hands to hold Yunxi tighter in his arms, lowered his head, and carefully moved close to her lips.

The light pink lips were like honey, always dangling in front of his eyes. He had long wanted to kiss her and savor the taste of love in the past.

Seeing Shen Mingxu's pair of shining eyes approaching without focus, Yunxi pinched his waist with both hands and pushed him away. She had no reason to be kissed by him. She just wanted to throw him away and run away.

"Yunxi?" Shen Mingxu whispered her name with his beautiful eyebrows twisted, as if he was slightly drunk. He held her slender waist with his big hands, stabilized his balance with his right leg, and lowered his head to kiss her again. He missed her too much. Although Yunxi didn't wear makeup today, she was exactly the same as she was seven years ago, with a pink face, smart eyes, and sexy collarbone filled with his long-lasting love. He has missed her for too long.

Even though Yunxi had a strong psychological quality, she couldn't stand the blank stares around her. She could stand the hardship and loneliness, but she couldn't stand the rumors.

Long eyelashes and a handsome nose bridge were coming again. Yunxi didn't dare to push Shen Mingxu hard, so she had to turn her head to avoid his light-colored lips. The petal-like lip beads kissed her cheek, mixed with hair, making Yunxi feel a slight chill. She didn't let go of him, and still hugged the owner of the lip beads tightly, the initiator of this gossip kiss.

The pearl white strapless tube-top waist dress perfectly set off Yunxi's slender neck, slender arms, and slender waist. She was slender and could easily control all styles of dresses unless she showed off her sexiness.

Mrs. Shen had seen Shao Yunxi on her mobile phone before her son had a car accident. Seven years had passed, and today she saw the real person for the first time with her son holding her hand. Mrs. Shen found that Yunxi's natural beauty could not be concealed even without makeup and jewelry. If she made up carefully and added jewelry that suited her, she believed that the little girl would definitely be as beautiful as she was back then.

The ideal daughter-in-law for Shen Zhongheng and his wife is naturally to find a rich lady who is well-matched for their son, so as to bless and help the future of Shen Mingxu and even the entire Shen family; but Mrs. Shen is very clear about her son's physical condition and temperament, so in her heart, it is more important for her son to like her and for the two of them to have feelings and be suitable for each other.

Yunxi has no family background, but she can be liked by her son and has been liked for so many years, and she is beautiful enough. Her appearance alone is something that the Shen family can show off. Seeing that she has no bags or any jewelry, the wife really wants to open any jewelry box for her to choose. Of course, the wife cannot do this in front of her son, so she can only secretly blame her son for being too straight and not considerate enough for girls.

Before leaving the Shen family, Yunxi found the housekeeper holding a soft shawl covered with silver handmade feathers, and expressed her intention to return the shawl to the lady and thank the lady. The housekeeper said bluntly, "The lady said she would give it to the young lady. Please don't mind that it is her old thing." "

Let's go home." Shen Mingxu didn't care about these little things. He took the shawl with his right hand, shook it gently, and stretched out his long arm to put it on Yunxi's shoulders. With a little more strength in his big hand, he had already embraced her in his arms and handed her a cane, and started to walk out with his left leg.

Before she could even thank him again, Yunxi had already supported Shen Mingxu's arm and hurriedly left the Shen family mansion.

Back to the small villa for the two of them, looking at the light-colored original wood decorations at home, Yunxi just breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Mingxu didn't go upstairs and walked slowly towards her.

"Yunxi, I have something to talk to you about."

Seeing him leaning on his cane and with a serious expression on his face, Yunxi stopped going back to the room and waited for him to speak nervously.
