As soon as she turned around, she saw Shi Yuting and Manli chatting not far away.
“How long does Miss Manli plan to stay here this time?”
“A little longer. I think this place…is quite interesting.” Manli smiled implyingly.
Originally, she had planned to go back in two days, but now, she had changed her mind.
“Hubby!”
A crisp voice interrupted. Shi Yuting turned around when he heard the voice, and almost immediately, he felt someone hold his arm intimately.
He looked down and saw a familiarly sweet face.
“What are you guys talking about?” Zuo Weiyi held onto him right after she affectionately called him ‘Hubby’. It was intentional.
Shi Yuting could not help but narrow his dark eyes slightly and cast a sidelong glance at the person in front of him.
This was the first time she had called him ‘Hubby ‘in public.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he reached out to pull her closer to him as he gently asked, “Are you tired?”
He knew that she had been busy with the birthday banquet since morning. Even though he did not allow her to be busy with her own affairs with a big belly, she insisted on doing it herself.
Meanwhile, he had been busy with the important matters of Di Zun and C Country all day long, so he had no time to control her and had to let her do whatever she wanted.
“Your friend?” Zuo Weiyi ignored him but cast a glance at Manli instead.
But she actually had a good memory—she remembered Manli to be the woman who had ‘kissed’ her husband in front of the restaurant the other day.
“This is Miss Manli, the heir to the royal family of A Country.” Shi Yuting remembered that he had explained to her about Miss Manli and that kiss. But at this moment, he patiently explained again, as if he could see through her intentions.
He enjoyed the way she cared about him.
“You are Shi—”
“I am his wife, Zuo Weiyi. Hello.” Before Manli could finish, Zuo Weiyi had already spoken and stretched out her hand.
Manli paused for a few seconds. Her bright eyes fell on Weiyi’s fresh and refined face. She was indeed a beauty.
Even though she was pregnant now, she could not hide the beauty that seeped out from her bones.
“How do you do? I’m Manli.” Manli extended her hand and shook her hand in return.
Shi Yuting turned around and looked briefly at Gu Yansheng who had followed Zuo Weiyi over. He cast a cold glance at him before taking a sip of red wine and scoffing at him.
“Yo, what are all of you gathered here for?” Zhong Shenghao called out as he approached with Shi Nuannuan.
When she saw her brother, Shi Nuannuan’s gaze kept searching for Xiangyi’s shadow, but she could not find him.
Strange, if her brother was here, why wasn’t Xiangyi with him?
“Brother, why isn’t Xiangyi—”
Just as Shi Nuannuan was about to speak, a waltz started to play in the banquet hall, followed by pairs of handsome men and beautiful women entering the dance floor.
Manli’s gaze swept over Shi Yuting before landing on Zuo Weiyi.
“Mrs. Shi, with your current condition, I don’t think it is convenient for you to dance, right?”
Her sudden words stunned Zuo Weiyi for half a second. She looked down and looked at her protruding belly, before turning to Manli. “Yes, I agree.”
“Then, you don’t mind if I invite your husband to dance with me, do you?”
Zuo Weiyi’s clear eyes stared at Manli for awhile.
Regardless of how Manli felt about Shi Yuting, Weiyi had to admit that Manli was a very strong woman.
It was usually the men who invited the women to dance. And yet Manli had taken the initiative to invite the man. She had also taken the advantage of Weiyi being pregnant to borrow her husband in front of everyone.
