When Shi Aoju walked in, he placed Su Jiuyi's hand on his arm. Su Jiuyi was initially puzzled, but then suddenly understood.
Because she didn't often attend such occasions, she really didn't understand much about those party etiquettes.
"Just try not to talk too much later," Shi Aoju whispered in her ear. To others, the gesture might have seemed somewhat intimate.
"Okay," she nodded in agreement.
Although she knew Shi Aoju brought her just to play the role of a temporary partner, she still felt a bit uncomfortable.
She was also quite worried, worried about running into Su Zhenxiong and Zhao Shuya here, or those who loved to see her make a fool of herself.
But on second thought, since she and Shi Aoju were connected through a case, and since he said he would protect her safety, he probably wouldn't stand by and watch people humiliate her.
After all, he was a domineering man; just by keeping a cold silence, his aura alone could make many people wary.
