C35 Is this a new love rival?

Yan Shen and Gu Meg both frowned. They did not like someone's coming without any prior appointment.

Gu Meg opened the door and was pushed aside by a group of four people who broke into the office at once. They were Yan Zou,Tang Zen,Yu Yi and Zeng Meng. All of the them were Yan Shen's friends .

They totally ignored Yan Shen and Gu Meg and rushed towards Xi Xin. Yan Shen hurriedly passed through them and sat beside Xi Xin taking her in his embrace carefully. He was worried that they might hurt her out of excitement . Also Xi Xin was shocked seeing so many people approaching her at once.

Seeing Yan Shen protecting Xi Xin likea tigress protecting her cub ,all of them became stunned.Yan Shen who always disgusted to touch any woman ,now held Xi Xin in his arm so intimately; the scene made their mind blank. After sometimes in Zeng Meng recovered herself first and ask circustically "What ! Your phobia is cured?"

Yan Shen replied in an indifferent yet pleasing tone " I still detest other women except my wife." Zeng Meng's face became black and she became silent but her eyes were like scorching rays which could burn Xi Xin. Xi Xin also was afraid of her. She gripped Yan Shen's hand tightly. She knew Ma Ban and Su Roxi were none but mere flies but this lady was like venomous snake. If she could not deal with her accordingly , this lady would bite her to death .But she was not so easy to bully.After giving some thought she said coquettishly to Yan Shen "Hubby, who are they?"

Yan Shen already noticed hostility of Zeng Meng towards Xi Xin and felt her uncomfortability .He was agitated but when he heard her soft voice and calling him hubby his heart calmed down .He was about to answer before sending a warning with his eyes towards Zeng Meng, she blurted out "We are very close friends of brother Shen." Xi Xin looked at her and smiled cordially. Then she looked at Yan Shen as if asking him how many girlfriends did he had so far as Feng Jin and Zeng Meng?

Yan Shen saw the warning in her eyes and felt helplessness in his heart. His little wife was got threatened but he knew himself except Xi Xin he did not want to be close to any other women liking them also out of question. To assure his sweetheart he said in somewhat irritated " I have never heard you call me so intimately before. We are friends and that's enough . Don't forget your place."

Zeng Meng's eyes were full of tears. She was young miss of Zeng family . Though she was never spoilt by Yan Shen .He always treated her coldly and kept a distance from her but scolded her. But today he scolded her even in front of other woman. She knew that her love towards Yan Shen was only onesided and he hated to be close to any woman but she endured it till date.She was sure Feng Jin that spoilt child of Feng family was no match for Yan Shen and he would never get married to such a woman. She herself was more elegant educated and poised , perfect as life partner for the personality like Yan Shen. She belonged to the close circle of his friends ,so she would get a fair chance in future if she endured it for a bit long .But today when Yan Shen embraced a girl in front of her and scolded her to protect that girl ,it was so humiliating for her also her dream shattered.

Yan Shen also told her that he only cared for his wife today .But she would not give up .She was not a soft-hearted teenager girl any more She was Zeng Meng, a lady of a rich family and also a experienced business women who was a veteran in fighting the battle of shopping malls. She should win over that little girl in near future.

Seeing the situation so much grave Yan Zou laughed out. He said in a light voice "Hello sister -in-law law ,I am Yan Zou. I am a distant cousin also friend of Yan Shen."He was happy -go -lucky type man .Always smiling and joking around ,but if one looked at his eyes carefully he could find an abyss of sorrow hidden in them.

Yan Zou then introduced Tang Zen and Yu Yi. They both were young masters of Tang family and Yu family. Though Feng, Yan and Lin families dominated C City but they were not far behind .Tang family was involved in hotel and hospitality business where as Yu family's main business was software and hardware. So the economy bloom of the CCity also dependent on them.Zeng family mainly dealt with fashion, jewelries and media.

Tang Zen was six foot in height and had a well built body like Yan Shen.What he lack was Yan Shen's aura which might be Yan Shen's in born characteristic. Tang Zen never smiled broadly, his eyes were always cold without showing any warmth.

Yu Yi had a feeble figure.He wore a flowery shirt with royal blue trousers.This was stark opposite of Yan Zou's dark grey suit and Tang Zen's black suit.Zeng Meng also was in her beige colour office attire.It seemed at once they heard the news of Xi Xin they came to Yan Shen leaving their works in hands.

Yu Yi was also tall and handsome. He was more friendly than Tang Zen. He brought out a flower bouquet and handed it over to Xi Xin. He said "congratulations !"politely.

Yan Zou said "So Lin Xian was right. We really had our sister- in- law. Who have thought our thousand year old monk will get married one day .Sister- in -law, we are his brothers in happiness and sorrow. So you are also one of us from today onwards. Feel free."" Are you done? Then scram, all of you." The cold voice of Yan Shen was heard .

jYan Zou said "Watch your attitude. You hide your marriage from us ,now we wanted to congratulate you and sister-in-law.What are you doing? You are chasing us away . Sister- in- law teach him isome curtsey in your free time."
