Chapter 150: Saving the Damsel In Distress

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The scene on the stage was captured by the audience below the stage. It had to be said that the view from the front of the stage was indeed very good. Even if there were many people in front, they could pay attention to every detail on the stage.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was getting closer and closer to the side and was almost at the edge of the stage, Li Ci and the bodyguard said almost at the same time, “Be careful!”

Shi Xiao rushed out quickly before anyone else could react.

Even when he reached the middle of the crowd, Shi Xiao still didn’t understand why he subconsciously ran out. He was actually worried about a woman who didn’t have any feelings for him?

Although he thought so, he had already pushed through the crowd and walked forward.

Yuan Shu was so focused on not letting strangers approach her that she forgot to pay attention to her back and feet. When she dodged, she missed her footing, then lost her balance and fell backward.

This stage was at least 1.5 meters tall, so if she fell, she would definitely be injured. There were so many people, so there might even be a stampede.

Yuan Shu quickly calculated the damage she might suffer. Then, she used her hand to untie the whip around her waist. She planned to use the whip to wrap around the loudspeaker at the back of the stage. At the very least, it would give her a buffer when she landed on the ground and she could stand up in time.

This was her habit. Ever since the whip was made, she would carry it with her wherever she went. If she had a handbag, she would put it in her bag. If she didn’t have a bag, she would wrap it around her waist so she could pull it out quickly.

The moment Yuan Shu’s hand touched the whip, she fell into a broad embrace and her upper body was tightly pressed against that person’s broad chest.

That person grunted and caught Yuan Shu steadily. Then, he hugged her shoulders with one hand and her legs with the other.

She seemed to be lighter than he had imagined.

This was Shi Xiao’s first thought.

Shi Xiao had just stabilized himself when he put Yuan Shu down right on the heels of that. He didn’t dawdle at all.

The moment Yuan Shu’s feet touched the ground, she immediately took a step back and said politely yet distantly, “Thank you.”

The music was very loud and there were screams in his ears, so Shi Xiao couldn’t hear what Yuan Shu said at all. When he saw the unfamiliarity in Yuan Shu’s eyes, he narrowed his eyes. She didn’t recognize him?

At this moment, Li Ci and the bodyguards rushed over. After Li Ci stood beside Shi Xiao, he asked Yuan Shu loudly, “Yuan Shu, are you alright? Are you injured?”

Yuan Shu shook her head to show that she was fine, but her gaze became even more puzzled.

Why did the man who saved her have such a strange look on his face? He was with Li Ci, so he should be from the upper society. He must have appeared at the banquet at the Shi family’s ancestral home before. Yuan Shu thought that her memory was very good, so even if she didn’t remember the name of the person she had seen, she would have a rough impression of him. How come Yuan Shu felt that she had never seen his face before?

Shi Lu and Zhang Zhang couldn’t see Yuan Shu on the stage, so they squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty. After coming down from the stage, the two of them carefully checked if Yuan Shu was injured. They only heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that she was safe.

Shi Lu wrapped his arm around Yuan Shu’s shoulder to escort her back to the booth. He even muttered to Zhang Zhang, “I told you not to be so ostentatious next time. My sister-in-law isn’t used to such a noisy environment!”

As he spoke, Shi Lu looked straight ahead until Shi Xiao’s face was completely in his line of sight. Then, he froze on the spot and lowered his hand on Yuan Shu’s shoulder. After he swallowed hard, he stammered, “Brother…”

Big brother?!

When Zhang Zhang and Yuan Shu heard this, they were both shocked.

Yuan Shu quickly restrained the shock in her eyes. She didn’t expect him to be her husband in this world! He actually came back so quickly! Oh no, wouldn’t he suspect her because of her gaze just now?

Yuan Shu remembered that in the original book, Shi Xiao was very keen and could sense the subtle expressions of the people around him.

Shi Xiao must be suspicious that she didn’t recognize him now, but he didn’t say anything about it..
