Chapter 3 One More Cup
"Mom, where is Junhao?" Mo Beichen saw the empty seat on the left-hand side, and asked Huang Kaiyun in a low voice. Now she is blank for her husband-to-be who is about to get engaged to her.
"Uh... I don't know, maybe I haven't arrived yet!" Huang Kaiyun glanced at her daughter again, signaling her daughter not to lose her manners.
The old lady who was still in front of the door of the banquet hall didn't know when she had walked in and sat opposite Mo Beichen. She seemed to keenly catch Mo Beichen's discomfort, "Don't worry, Junhao will be here soon." ”
"Heh... No hurry, no hurry. Seeing this, Huang Kaiyun hurriedly rounded the field for her daughter.
Mo Beichen bowed his head slightly to show that he had received the message, but there was a trace of comfort in his heart, this seemingly majestic old lady was actually loving.
"Chairman, why don't I go out and have a look?" Ada, who was beside the old lady, immediately stood up in understanding.
"Hmm. The old lady was about to nod, "No... He's coming!"
Mo Beichen subconsciously followed the prestige, and a tall figure slowly approached her, getting closer and closer.
A well-cut black suit fits neatly over his model-like figure, the gold cuffs of his white shirt show his unusual identity under the illumination of crystal lamps, and the handsome but cold lifeless face above the narrow red silk tie.
He is Hyun Junhao, the object of her engagement, Mo Beichen felt a burst of depression on his face, he brought it over.
"Grandma. When the man came to Mo Beichen's side, he didn't even look at her, but obediently called the old lady opposite.
"Well, it's good to be here, sit down!" the old lady turned to Ada with a triumphant smile on her face, "Inform the kitchen that the food can be served." ”
Mo Beichen pursed his lips, and secretly glanced at Xuan Junhao beside him, still with a frosty expression.
Why didn't he even look at himself, did he do something wrong?
I don't know, I don't know anything, she has lost her memory, how can she know what happened between them? Mo Beichen was stunned for a while, and his two hands couldn't help but twist tightly under the table. Unbeknownst to everyone, this subtle movement had been fully seen by Hyun Joon-ho, and an imperceptible smile floated to the corners of his thin lips.
This is exactly what he wants!
"Chairman, it's time to get started. Ada whispered in the old lady's ear.
The old lady replied and stood up with the glass full of red wine in front of her, and the banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
"I am grateful to all of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the engagement banquet of my grandson Hyun Joon Ho and Miss Mok Beichen. According to Joon-ho, he wants the engagement ceremony to be low-key, mainly because he doesn't want to be disturbed by some media and the outside world. ”
"Therefore, most of the people invited today are relatives and very personal friends of our Xuan family, so you don't have any scruples, just treat it as a family banquet. Let's drink and bless them!Cheers!" said the old lady and raised her glass.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The sound of "......" blessings is endless.
After drinking the wine, the old lady put down the wine glass, sat down, and then said unhurriedly: "Junhao, you take Beichen to toast, so that everyone can get to know each other." ”
Hyun Joon-ho didn't respond well or badly, but picked up the wine glass in front of him and walked towards the table behind him.
Mo Beichen suddenly felt embarrassed, and his fair face flushed slightly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Huang Kaiyun pretended to smile, reached out and gently patted the back of her daughter's hand to comfort her.
The old lady frowned slightly quietly, her only grandson is really getting more and more excessive, but how can she have a good attack in this kind of scene now.
Seeing this, Ada on the side hurriedly got up and walked to Mo Beichen's side, "Miss Mo, please go to the bar with me and the young master." ”
Mo Beichen nodded slightly.
In this way, Mo Beichen could only follow behind Hyun Junhao in high heels during the entire engagement banquet. With glass after glass of red wine, Mo Beichen only felt that his body was a little weightless, and his feet were like stepping on cotton, but Xuan Junhao didn't even look back from beginning to end.
Still Ada behind her helped her, "Are you okay?
"No, I'm fine......" Mo Beichen shook his head, but a thin layer of blush had already surfaced on his cheeks.
After a few more glasses of red wine, this bitter errand was finally completed, and Mo Beichen staggered back to his seat with an empty wine glass and sat down.
Ada handed over a glass of hot juice from behind him, "Here, cure the hangover." ”
"Thank you. Mo Beichen glanced at her gratefully, took a sip of it, and his stomach suddenly warmed a lot.
Unexpectedly, the man next to him suddenly stood up and raised the wine glass in front of Huang Kaiyun, "Mom, I will also toast you! Thank you for marrying Beichen to me!"
Huang Kaiyun was flattered and hurriedly got up, and said with a smile, "Okay, good... Good. ”
It seems that this son-in-law is not completely unkind, and it may have been an unintentional move to toast by himself before. Huang Kaiyun comforted herself and drank the wine in the cup.
"Wife, it stands to reason that the two of us should also have a drink, right?" Hyun Junhao did not sit down after toasting, but unexpectedly cast his eyes on Mo Beichen.
Wife?
Mo Beichen was surprised by his sudden change of one hundred and eighty degrees, stood up in a panic, and pinched the empty wine glass in his hand.
"Of course, it's a day to remember. A cold smile appeared on the man's handsome face, and he took the wine glass in Mo Beichen's hand and filled it.
"Here, cheers. Xuan Junhao touched the wine glass in front of Mo Beichen, and the two wine glasses made a crisp crashing sound.
Mo Beichen hesitated for a moment, picked up the wine glass and drank it all with difficulty.
Maybe she drank too much, she almost choked herself, and her face turned red behind her ears.
"Ahem... Ahem..."
He put down his glass and sat down with his right hand on the edge of the table. Who knew that the male voice that left no room sounded in his ears again, "Come, let's toast grandma again!"
"I ......" Mo Beichen's index knuckle pressed against the tabletop, gradually turning white.
She has just recovered from a serious illness, and if she continues to drink like this, I am afraid that she will not be able to support the end of the engagement banquet.
"Junhao, the family doesn't have to be so polite, you better go and greet the other guests!" the old lady's tone sounded unfazed, but it revealed an undoubted majesty and a little displeasure.
She understood that Hyun Joon-ho was protesting to her in a different way.
