Chapter 131: Confession from the Heart
Anya was also shocked by Chu Hemeng's sunflower dress, not because of Chu Hemeng's beauty, but because of the blooming sunflowers! Anya turned her head to look at Xing Haodong, his expression was really unnatural, Anya remembered the last time when she was decorating the back garden of the Western restaurant, she wanted Xing Haodong to give her a bouquet of sunflowers, but he refused, could it be that the sunflowers have any unusual meaning to him?
Lin Sen broke the embarrassment and stepped forward and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet, happy engagement!"
"Thank you, Sen. Anya looked at Chu Hemeng with a light smile, looked her up and down, and said, "Miss Chu is really bright and beautiful today! I didn't expect that Miss Chu would be willing to come to congratulate us, this is the best gift for me! And if I don't know today, I'm afraid that the guests present will mistakenly think that Miss Chu is the protagonist today, right?"
Chu Hemeng pursed her red lips, and when she was about to explain, she didn't expect Heka to speak, "The more formal and beautiful she wears, the more it can represent the importance she attaches to today's day and her blessings to the two, isn't it?"
"Of course. Anya raised her eyebrows and smiled, "As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and after watching Miss Chu today, I really think this sentence is very right! Even if it is the dirty mud in the swamp, after wearing the golden jade clothes, you can transform into a beauty." It's just that the gold and jade are ruined on the outside, and there is no inner recuperation and temperament, which is also in vain. β
Chu Cianming gritted his teeth, eager to step forward and reprimand Anya for a few words, but was secretly stopped by Lin Sen.
When Xing Haodong frowned and wanted Anya to say a few words, Chu Hemeng forced a slight smile and said absentmindedly: "Miss An is reasonable, I am very teachable. β
Everyone looked at Chu Hemeng distressedly, she was usually sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, but now she could only swallow her anger.
Xing Haodong wanted to leave with Anya, but she couldn't get enough of it, and suddenly said again: "Miss Chu may not know, right? Haodong doesn't like Sunflower the most!"
Anya smiled triumphantly, as if she was showing off to a naΓ―ve little girl with a doll.
Chu Cianming and Xing Haodong looked at Anya puzzled at the same time, but Chu Hemeng looked down at his dress, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. Anya said again: "Last time, I asked Haodong to give me a bouquet of sunflowers, but he spoke coldly, it seems that Miss Chu's careful dressing today is also in vain!"
Chu Hemeng bit her red lip and didn't say anything, Anya smiled contemptuously, grabbed Xing Haodong, and took him away stiffly.
Chu Cianming hurriedly relieved: "Don't listen to her, she is deliberately stimulating you! Haodong, I like the sunflower the most!"
"Whether he likes it or not, what does it have to do with me?" Chu Hemeng raised his eyes and laughed at himself, "This dress is not worn for him, I just ...... Just thinking about the person who kept giving me sunflowers, you think too much. β
After speaking, Chu Hemeng turned around silently and walked in the opposite direction to Xing Haodong.
Heka and Lin Sen both followed quickly, but Pei Xi didn't know when, he had already left, and no one paid attention.
Chu Hemeng paced to a secluded corner, although Heka and Lin Sen had been with her, talking about various interesting topics, and she would smile from time to time, but her eyes and her heart were always chasing the figure of the snow-white tuxedo in the distance. He shook hands with his partners in the business field and smiled, he thanked the guests who congratulated him, he raised his wine glass and took a sip, all his every move was seen in Chu Hemeng's eyes and Chu Hemeng's heart.
It's just that he never looked back and looked at himself.
Chu Hemeng lowered his eyelids in disappointment, looking at the clear and translucent fruit wine in his hand, but his heart was sullen and chaotic.
Xing Haodong put the empty wine glass on the bartender's tray and looked at Chu Hemeng sideways. Although the scene was so big, and despite the crowding of so many people, in the eyes of everyone looking at him, he could immediately feel the hot gaze that only belonged to Chu Hemeng, staring straight at him, and he couldn't wait to rush over and take her to escape from all this!
It's just that what qualifications does he have now?
"Haodong...... Haodong?"
Anya's soft voice pulled back his thoughts, Xing Haodong turned back in a daze, and whispered, "What's wrong?"
"The ceremony is almost about to begin. Anya smiled lightly, her smile shining like a sparkling diamond.
Xing Haodong nodded, let Anya hold her arm, and bowed to everyone and retired.
Chu Hemeng raised his eyes to look at him again, getting farther and farther away, perhaps, he had never been close, right?
Immediately, a different kind of music sounded in the venue, and everyone immediately fell silent, knowing that the engagement ceremony was about to begin.
Lin Sen whispered in Chu Hemeng's ear, "Do you want me to accompany you for a walk outside?"
Chu Hemeng shook his head and reluctantly replied: "Since I came, if I don't hold on until the last moment, I will be a loser!"
Lin Sen frowned, originally he was going to say why bother with Chu Cassia at this time, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Heka frowning and shaking his head at him, Lin Sen naturally swallowed his words, but he was always worried about Chu Hemeng, the master of ceremonies on the stage, Chu Cassia said something, he didn't know, anyway, it was a bunch of nonsense!
As soon as Chu Cassia Ming's words landed, the scene immediately burst into thunderous applause, Anya took Xing Haodong's hand, and under the spotlight, stepped on everyone's applause and romantic and beautiful piano music, and walked from the door. An Junxian and Xing Kangcheng stood in the front row, unable to hide their happy applause and laughter, but in Chu Hemeng's eyes, they were endlessly sour and ridiculed.
She slowly raised her hand, applauding with no match, Heka and Lin Sen looked at her, and they couldn't say anything about the bitterness in their hearts.
Xing Haodong took Anya and stood on the stage, and Chu Cianming smiled lightly: "Now the pair of golden boys and girls by my side, they are quite good-looking, like-minded, sincerely in love, and heart-to-heart! On today's special and solemn day, they have lovers to accompany each other hand in hand, and they have taken another step towards the sacred marriage hall, which is gratifying, so let us express our sincere congratulations to them with warm applause!"
When the words landed, the hall was full of applause.
Anya looked at Xing Haodong with a low eyebrow and a slight smile, but Xing Haodong's unsmiling face instantly froze her smile.
"Now, let's listen to what our bridegroom-to-be will say to his bride-to-be on such an important day today!"
Chu Cianming cheered and handed the microphone to Xing Haodong, and the guests in the room all raised their voices.
Xing Haodong took the microphone embarrassedly, although Chu Cassia had asked him to memorize the lines he wanted to say before, but now that the microphone was in hand, his heart was uneasy, but he didn't know what to say. He turned around slowly, facing Anya, his trembling eyes deliberately did not dare to look directly at her, he had been brewing for a long time, and even the people in the audience couldn't help but whisper curiously.
"What is he doing?"
"That's it, why don't you talk yet?"
The sound of discussion in the audience gradually rose, An Junxian's old face was a little unbearable, but Xing Kangcheng was still as stable as Mount Tai.
Chu Cianming coughed lightly, and reminded Xing Haodong on the stage in a low voice, "Hey, talk! What are you doing in a daze......
"Today's ......" Xing Haodong lowered his eyelids slightly, turned to face the guests in the audience, and said lightly, "Thank you very much, take time out of your busy schedule to attend my engagement banquet with Anya......!"
There were bursts of applause from the audience, Xing Haodong paused, and said eloquently: "My encounter with her can be said to be fate, and it can also be said to be arranged. Because I already knew her as a person, but she didn't know anything about me. In order to get close to her, I observed her for a long time, she was reckless and impulsive, she was greedy for money, she was so arrogant and affectionate, she was even chased on the street......"
Anya frowned in surprise, it was obviously her engagement banquet, but the woman in his words was still - Chu Hemeng!
Xing Haodong's gaze finally fell on Chu Hemeng, who was standing in the corner, and the four eyes were facing each other, how could her fragile heartstrings withstand such a stirring? Heka and Lin Sen also looked at Xing Haodong in puzzlement, but the others present snickered, as if no one thought that Anya would have such a side.
"Between me and her, there is no love at first sight as you imagined, and even, I can't accept it. Xing Haodong said and spoke, his mind was full of the first encounter with Chu Hemeng, and finally couldn't help laughing, "But after a long time, I found that she has a lot of breath that I don't have and I particularly crave to have, she is simple and kind, straightforward and simple, and empathetic, but I don't want to admit my feelings for her, so I escape and struggle, and I hesitate." I don't know if it's God's trick, I always pass by her......"
Chu Hemeng pursed her red lips, and in his words, the past events were like a painting scroll slowly unfolding in her heart. She didn't understand, at this time of day, what was the use of him saying this? Wasn't it all his decision to leave himself and get engaged to Anya? Why did he say this...... Why, do you want to let her heart pass again?
She looked away, tears in her eyes seemed to be about to burst out.
Heka and Lin Sen glanced at each other helplessly, no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in Xing Haodong's gourd.
An Junxian was also puzzled, and looked at Anya suspiciously, and couldn't help but wonder, does his daughter still have such an unknown side?
Xing Hao said a lot, and the guests present were all in tears.
"At this time, I just want to say one thing to her, a word that I will never have a chance to say, but now I can't achieve - I just want to tell her, I love you!"
The sonorous and powerful words won the cheers of the whole house, but Anya was pale and looked at Chu Hemeng through gritted teeth.
