Aunt Tian's indignation made Xu Tingyu seem rather cold.
She didn't even want to dwell on this issue and just gave Aunt Tian a faint smile.
"If he's meant to be mine, no one can snatch him away."
"If he's not, I won't be able to keep him even if I exhaust myself."
Seeing her like this, Aunt Tian sighed again inwardly.
Considering that Xu Tingyu had just recovered from an illness, she didn't want to upset her on this topic and quickly changed the subject.
After the two discussed the local snacks for a while, the bonfire outside had been lit.
"Madam, shall we go and have a look now?"
Seeing that there were still not many people there, Aunt Tian suggested that Xu Tingyu take this opportunity to get closer to watch, lest it would be troublesome when more people came later.
Seeing Aunt Tian's eager face, obviously wanting to go and watch, Xu Tingyu didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm. So she stood up with the fruit platter in her arms.
The two walked to the bonfire.
There were already quite a few people gathered around, and a band happened to start singing at this moment.
"...... The moment you walked towards her
The scene trembled
More cruel than missing out
Is the impossibility of retention..."
Hearing the lyrics, Xu Tingyu felt as if her heart had been severely grabbed.
Did she have such a past? Did she also have someone she couldn't retain?
Otherwise, why did her heart ache so much?
Just as she was staring blankly at the lead singer, her waist was suddenly grabbed from behind. Then, her whole body was enveloped by the clear fragrance of cedar.
Without turning around, she knew who the person behind her was.
She just didn't expect that this person would be so bold as to be so handsy with her in public.
"Qi Shifeng, let go of me."
She didn't dare to shout loudly and could only grit her teeth and scold in a low voice.
Qi Shifeng lowered his head and kissed her neck, then leaned close to her ear and asked, "Is the lead singer that good-looking?"
He had been standing opposite for quite a while and had only seen her staring blankly at the lead singer.
People were bustling around. She didn't even notice that her nanny had been separated from the crowd. She just stared at the lead singer blankly.
What, now that she was feeling better, she came out to look at handsome guys?
In his opinion, the lead singer wasn't that handsome except for being a bit flamboyant.
Was he really worth her staring at without blinking, not even noticing that he was standing opposite?
Hearing his words, Xu Tingyu subconsciously glanced at the lead singer again.
To be honest, she had just been in a daze. Although she was looking at the lead singer, her eyes were unfocused and she didn't even see what the person looked like clearly.
Now that she looked, she found that he was really good-looking, clean and fresh, and his voice was also very nice.
No wonder so many people had gathered around.
Seeing that she still looked in that direction and didn't react at all to his appearance, Qi Shifeng gently bit her earlobe.
"Are you crazy? Let go of me quickly."
Xu Tingyu came to her senses and tried to break free from his embrace.
But Qi Shifeng refused to let go and just stubbornly asked her, "What's so good-looking about that lead singer? Do you like that type?"
"Who I like has nothing to do with you. Let go of me quickly."
Xu Tingyu was impatient and gave him an elbow.
To avoid arousing suspicion from the people around, her elbow strike had a small range but great strength.
As a result, the person being elbowed let out a muffled grunt, but his hand still didn't let go. After the grunt, he started to laugh.
However, this laugh was rather gritted-teeth.
"Aren't you afraid of being seen like this? Or do you deliberately want people to see and make your fiancé jealous?"
He tightened his arm around her waist, making it impossible for her to move but not making her uncomfortable.
This intimate scene looked like a sign of a good relationship in the eyes of the people around.
Xu Tingyu found his words rather confusing and impatiently said, "What are you talking nonsense about?"
Qi Shifeng hugged her and swayed a little. His voice was deep.
"I heard just now that your fiancé's assistant seems to have an ambiguous relationship with him. Even your nanny couldn't stand it."
There was still a bit of anger in his voice. It was not clear what he was angry about.
Xu Tingyu sneered, "Do you think you have any right to blame others with your current behavior?"
Whether Qi Ye and Zhang Wan really have an ambiguous relationship is another matter.
But in the past two days, Qi Shifeng has been hugging, kissing and holding her whenever he sees her. This is for real.
Moreover, there is a child between them.
To be honest, no matter whether Youyou was born because she and Qi Shifeng were framed, it was still a kind of betrayal.
If the roles were reversed, she definitely couldn't accept a partner who had a child with someone else.
Qi Shifeng was stunned by her retort and then laughed again.
"You're right, but at least we're not hypocritical."
He even sounded a bit proud.
Xu Tingyu was a bit speechless and patted his hand on her waist. "Let go of me first."
Qi Shifeng was not willing at all. Instead of letting go of her, he hugged her and moved to the side, finding a better position.
Now they couldn't see the lead singer's face, but they could see the dance performance not far away.
"No, I'll hug you for a while longer. Don't worry, your nanny has gone to play elsewhere and won't be back for a while."
"There are so many people and it's so dark. Even if there are other people who know you, they may not find us. So don't be afraid."
His breath was right beside her ear.
If one ignored his identity and the things he said, a handsome man and a beautiful woman hugging each other in the crowd would really give a feeling of tranquility.
The music continued. It changed to a more gentle melody, and Xu Tingyu's heart also calmed down for a moment.
The two just snuggled together and listened to this song.
But Xu Tingyu didn't calm down because he said they wouldn't be found.
She wasn't afraid of being found at all.
On the contrary, she even had a kind of expectation - expecting that the matter of her entanglement with Qi Shifeng would be found. Maybe then she would be able to know her real past faster.
I don't know how long it had passed when Qi Shifeng suddenly said, "We once watched a bonfire together too."
Xu Tingyu's calm heart was like a stone had been thrown into it, stirring up ripples.
"Really? Sorry, I don't remember. But at that time, we should have been very painful, right? Such a romantic moment with someone we didn't like."
She thought he was talking about the years of their fake marriage.
After all, no matter what the real situation was, since they were a publicly married couple, they must have participated in some activities.
It would be painful for sure when everyone had someone in their hearts but still had to act like an affectionate couple.
Qi Shifeng gently bit her neck as a punishment. "I don't know about you, but I wasn't in pain anyway."
This made Xu Tingyu subconsciously retort, "So as long as you're happy, you don't care about my life or death?"
Qi Shifeng shouted that he was wronged. "It was you who grabbed my hand first at that time. How can you still say that I don't care about your life or death?"
