Chapter 837: Chapter 837

Around ten o’clock in the morning, the guests invited by the Su Family had all arrived and taken their seats at the various dining tables on the lawn.

Shortly after, the three main characters of today’s banquet, Su Hongyuan and Old Master Su of the Zhongzhou Su Family and their grandson Su Yifei, along with Tang Ya, the daughter of the second-in-command of the Anxi Tang Family, appeared on the lawn, surrounded by some direct members of both the Su and Tang families.

The trio wore red Tang suits, meticulously designed by a renowned Huaxia fashion designer. Old Master Su looked radiant and vigorous, while Su Yifei and his fiancée Tang Ya, a handsome man and a beautiful woman complementing each other, made many guests secretly envious.

The guests at the scene stood up and applauded to congratulate the three.

"Officer Tang came today as well!"

Xia Chenyu made a slight face at Fang Bai while standing among the members of the Tang Family, speaking to him with a smirk.

Fang Bai had already noticed Tang Wenrou, although his gaze was not steadily on her, his Divine Sense constantly kept track of her.

Tang Wenrou gave Fang Bai a stunning impression today.

In Fang Bai’s memory, Tang Wenrou always appeared in a police uniform, but today, unusually, she had shed her uniform for a form-fitting white dress.

This dress not only perfectly showcased Tang Wenrou’s graceful and voluptuous curves but also highlighted her noble and elegant demeanor befitting a lady of a prominent clan.

This version of Tang Wenrou, though less heroic, was more enchanting.

Actually, it was not only Fang Bai who was stunned. Many guests were deeply drawn to her upon seeing Tang Wenrou.

Even though Tang Wenrou stood among a group of the Tang Family members, not being the tallest, her snowy skin and lovely features still made her the most dazzling presence. Even the beautifully dressed bride-to-be, Tang Ya, seemed less brilliant in comparison, with many men’s gazes lingering on her.

Tang Wenrou stood there quietly, her demeanor cool, not mingling with anyone, a stark contrast to the festive atmosphere of the event. Fortunately, both the Su and Tang families were aware of her nature and didn’t mind.

However, few noticed that Tang Wenrou’s gaze occasionally darted towards Fang Bai, then swiftly moved away as if afraid of being caught watching him.

Witnessing Su Linglong and Xia Chenyu seated on either side of Fang Bai, Tang Wenrou’s gaze flickered complexly, slightly furrowing her brows, and lightly biting her lip to show her displeasure.

"My Boss Fang, have you noticed that Officer Tang is secretly watching us over there? But her eyes are tender when she looks at you, and frustrated when she looks at me... Hmm, I can almost smell the sour scent... She must have spilled jealousy in her heart,"

Xia Chenyu chuckled and whispered into Fang Bai’s ear.

Naturally, Su Linglong could hear Xia Chenyu’s words. She glanced stealthily at Tang Wenrou and indeed found that the officer’s beautiful eyes frequently, albeit subtly, glanced this way.

Su Linglong knew that both Xia Chenyu and Tang Wenrou, just like herself, were deeply infatuated with Fang Bai, albeit each expressed their love in different ways due to their different personalities.

Xia Chenyu was extroverted and passionate, often taking the initiative.

Tang Wenrou was reserved and rarely smiled, a passive type. If Fang Bai did not invite her out, she would not take the initiative to ask him.

His personality was somewhere between Chenyu and Wen Rou, neither overly enthusiastic nor cold and aloof, so among the several close female friends around Fang Bai, he was the one who could make friends with anyone, truly being able to mingle well no matter the situation.

Seeing Chenyu’s body seemingly glued to Fang Bai, her lush lips whispering into Fang Bai’s ear, their closeness appeared extreme. From afar, Wen Rou felt even more displeased, her brows furrowed as she huffed softly.

"Chenyu, you’re really stirring things up!"

Sensing the "killing Qi" emanating from Wen Rou and seeing Chenyu, who had almost snuggled into his arms with a mischievous smile on her face, Fang Bai knew she was doing it on purpose for Wen Rou to see, and he said with a bitter smile.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes; where there are rivers and lakes, there are grudges; where there are grudges there is strife.

Although there wasn’t any real resentment among the several close female friends around Fang Bai, since they had fallen for the same man, they competed to win his heart. Though outwardly cordial, in their hearts, they were constantly trying to outdo one another.

However, each woman was smarter than the next. They wouldn’t make their competition fierce and public, as that wouldn’t make Fang Bai happy and wouldn’t be good for anyone.

"Officer Tang is looking beautiful today! Even though she didn’t intentionally dress up, she certainly stole the show from the almost newlyweds!"

Chenyu, noticing Wen Rou’s irritation and feeling a bit smug, wasn’t the type to push her luck, seeing the opportunity, she straightened up and put some distance between her and Fang Bai, laughing as she did.

Fang Bai nodded deeply, saying in agreement, "Yeah, I’m used to seeing Wen Rou in a uniform, suddenly seeing her in a dress really is a different charm!"

Chenyu said, "A woman dresses for the one who pleases her. Officer Tang dressed up , surely for you!"

Fang Bai laughed, "Is that so? Then I should take a good look!"

Saying so, he brazenly looked towards Wen Rou, his gaze filled with desire.

Wen Rou noticed Fang Bai’s intense gaze, her heart fluttering with joy, yet she also felt slightly embarrassed, looking down at the ground, not daring to meet Fang Bai’s eyes.

"So even Officer Tang can get shy!"

Chenyu chuckled softly.

Linglong was also covering her mouth and giggling. She had known Wen Rou for quite some time, and the decisive, assertive Ice Queen she knew was hard to reconcile with the shy and demure Wen Rou in front of her.

Once the commotion settled down and the guests returned to their seats, Su Hongyuan and Old Master Su, on behalf of the Su Family, gave a heartfelt welcoming speech.

Yifei and Tang Ya stood side by side next to Su Hongyuan, their eyes meeting occasionally, both faces displaying blissful smiles, evidently showing that their relationship was solid.

Fang Bai heard from Linglong that the union between Yifei and Tang Ya was not like other prominent clan arrangements, merely for family interests. They had dated for nearly half a year, going from acquaintance to understanding and then to love, their feelings rapidly deepened.

Tang Ya admired Yifei’s frank and forthright nature, brave and responsible, while Yifei also liked Tang Ya’s elegance, beauty, and intelligent gentleness. Both felt that the other was the person worth committing to for life.
