Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Celebration Feast
Xiyue hadn't fallen asleep in the past few days, thinking about the things at the celebration banquet every day, what to say, what actions to do, what kind of expression to show, she wanted to think about it in her heart, but the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and the more she thought about it, the more irritable she became.
As the days passed, it finally came.
Today she was called up at six o'clock in the morning to have breakfast, and then the makeup artist, stylist, and costume artist came to the house to dress her up, and finally fell asleep, and she got up so early, she endured her sleepiness and let them fiddle.
Qi He didn't feel anything, he should go to work, he should prepare, not only was he not nervous, on the contrary, his whole body was relaxed and happy, and his heart was happy and excited, which was completely opposite to Xiyue.
The celebration banquet started at six o'clock in the evening, but she thought that it was better to be one point earlier than to solve it directly.
It wasn't until near the afternoon that it was all done.
Today's Xiyue wore a red floor-sweeping evening dress, which is a design style based on tassel crystal sequins, as long as she walks, swaying, as if the whole body is flashing with dazzling starlight, although she is a little rounder than before, but this makes her more plump, well-proportioned, graceful.
Her long hair was coiled up, and her cold and pretty facial features were not covered, looking clean and neat. It's just that the swan neck looks cold and deserted because it doesn't have any decorations, and the costumer is thinking about what to do, and Qi He comes in.
"Yueyue, this, for you". When the setting moon opened it, it was a ruby necklace, which was just right with her dress. "How do you know I'm wearing red today?"
"The clothes I also chose, they were all customized in Milan, but the necklace came later, do you like it?"
"I like it, thank you, husband".
At 6 p.m., the 7th floor banquet hall of the Summit Hotel.
It's finally here, and Yuzuki is extremely nervous in the car, and her heart is beating fast. Qi He held her hand tightly, "Yueyue?"
"I'm a little nervous".
"It's okay, how can it be? When you are a star, you don't see that you are timid in front of so many people, just treat them as your audience."
"That's different, this occasion is different from that."
"I'll be there for you the whole time, don't be afraid, trust me".
"Okay, get out of the car".
All the other guests had arrived, and the huge banquet hall was full of people, full of voices and staggered ideas. Before Xiyue walked in, she felt the warmth of this atmosphere.
She paused, a little reluctant to step through the door.
Qi He patiently soothed her, waiting for her to relieve her tension. "Yueyue!"
Xiyue took a deep breath, raised her head and chest, took out her momentum, stared at Qi He deeply, held his hand tightly, and walked in with her head held high.
The banquet hall was very lively, all the big names in City B who could be named came, and all the well-known people in politics, business, and entertainment appeared in front of her.
They were holding wine glasses at the moment, some talking highly, some bowing their heads to communicate, and after watching her and Qi He walk in, they all quieted down, looked at them, greeted them one after another, and then continued to applaud, until they reached the podium at the end of the banquet, and everyone stopped applauding.
When Xiyue boldly looked ahead, she saw Gu Jincheng, Zheng Bufan, Qu Shengxiao and other familiar figures, she did not invite Zheng Bufan, presumably it was Qi He's doing.
"Thank you for coming to my wife's celebration banquet and introducing to you that this is my wife, the wife of the president of the Qi family in the future." Qi He held her hand from beginning to end, did not let go, his eyes were full of her, affectionate and very gentle.
I can only hear whispers and discussions from the audience, after all, everyone knows about the grand marriage proposal a few years ago. However, thinking that the Lu family had suffered a catastrophe, it was normal to marry a new wife, and they clapped their hands and blessed it.
Qi He gave up the position of the microphone to Xiyue, she was already nervous at the moment, and she was not prepared, and asked her to speak. With all the willpower he mustered, he mustered up the courage not to be nervous, and said calmly, "Thank you for witnessing the happiness of me and Saiga." Thank you for accommodating everything I have, good love is worth waiting for, we will always be happy, thank you". In just a few words, she wanted to say, and after saying them, she felt unusually relaxed.
Qi He said a lot more then, and finally ended with another thank-you. After that, he took her to introduce her to the important guests.
The strange thing is that at the banquet, she was not nervous at all, and it was extremely natural to deal with those people, and they all praised her, but most of them said it to the Qi family behind her. After only an hour, she already had back pain and foot cramps.
So, she asked Saiga to deal with the guests, and she found a corner to sit down.
Zheng Bufan had never been close to her from beginning to end, and after discovering that she was looking at him, he immediately turned his head, presumably that experience had built a high bridge between them.
"Congratulations, you got your wish and were with him, and now after this banquet, the whole city knows that you are the wife of the chairman of the Qi Group."
"These titles are so important, you know that all I wanted was to be with him all along."
Gu Jincheng shook his wine glass and looked at her, she was very beautiful and charming today, she looked graceful and luxurious, extremely delicate and beautiful. "Are you happy?"
"Hmm".
"That's good, have a drink and celebrate". After that, Yuzuki clinked glasses with him and left.
Nearly halfway through the banquet, Gu Yan was late, and he was the only one. He thought about bringing Shu Yue with him, but that would cause a sensation on the scene, so it wouldn't be today if he wanted to see him. Shu Yue heard that there was a banquet and wanted to come very much, but Gu Yan comforted her for a long time before persuading her to give up.
There were not many people who knew him at the scene, so after picking up a glass of wine, he found a corner to sit, and it happened that there was also a person who had the same idea as him next to him. After looking closely, he found that he had come to City B to meet once.
"Hello"!
Xiyue found that someone was accosting, and her whole body was a little uncomfortable, and she responded unnaturally, "Hello".
"I've seen you".
"Oh?
"Mr. Unknown, remember?"
Xiyue was overjoyed and exclaimed, "It's you? Thank you for saving me! Oh my God."
Gu Yan smiled like the spring breeze of March Hexi, "I didn't expect to see you here."
"This is a celebration for me and my love, thank you for coming".
"That's right." Gu Yan hadn't inquired about Qi He's private life for a long time, it turned out that he was married to the woman in front of him, and it turned out that Xiyue was the woman he had saved who had been drugged.
While talking to the guests on the other side, Qi He looked at Yuzuki and noticed that she was talking and laughing with a young man, and after saying sorry, he rushed straight in her direction.
"Yueyue, why are you talking so happily?" Qi He put his arm on her shoulder and looked at the man opposite.
"Qi He, this is my father-in-law, I was almost bullied before, he saved me, by the way, I forgot to ask, what is your name? I am Xiyue, this is my husband, Qi He."
Gu Yan glanced at Qi He meaningfully, with no expression on his face, and said lightly, "I'm Gu Yan."
Yuzuki doesn't know anything, and she's very happy, with a lover on one side and a benefactor on the other. But when she looked at Qi He, she found that he was stunned, with an incredible expression on his face.
"Are you Gu Yan?"
"Well, it's the Gu Yan you know."
Qi He suddenly felt as if his meridians had been cut off, he was so weak that he almost collapsed on the ground, looking at Gu Yan with a dull expression, his eyes full of shock.
"What's wrong?Qi He", Yuzuki was worried, and he couldn't understand why he suddenly became like this, and his tone was full of concern and worry.
Qi He didn't speak, as if the whole world suddenly pressed the mute button, and there was only this person named Gu Yan in front of him, looking at him in horror.
And Gu Yan was unmoved, and the wind was light.
