Chapter 22: The Feast of the Hung Gate
Gu Xihe was about to speak, when the mobile phone rang suddenly, and suddenly pulled back her thoughts, the caller ID was Yan Moshen, she raised her head and said with a light smile, "I'm sorry Mr. Huo, I left beforehand." ”
She walked in a hurry, as she reached the corridor in front of her.
Yan Moshen walked straight towards her.
She seemed to know that Yan Mo would question her in the next second.
Without waiting for him to speak, he replied, "It's been a long time since I've worn eight-centimeter high heels, and I just felt uncomfortable in my ankles, so I delayed for some time." ”
Yan Moshen's gaze moved to her ankles.
He didn't speak, just approached her and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, an intimate and ambiguous gesture.
But Gu Xihe understood that he just wanted to be in front of his elders.
The table xiàn shows that they are a loving couple.
Only she knew that all this affection was just an illusion.
Gu Xihe walked into the box side by side with Yan Moshen, feeling the strength of his hand increase, and only then did she barely pull out a faint smile on her cheeks.
Yan Moshen walked to the front and chatted with a few aunts.
Gu Xihe stood beside him in a daze.
Her gaze swept around, as she moved her gaze to the figure next to the main seat.
Zhou Qingqing elegantly folded her legs and chatted with the lady next to her, and the lady suddenly asked, "Qingqing, why didn't you see Jin Cheng coming with you?" ”
Gu Xihe's gaze paused.
At the mention of this name, Zhou Qingqing's gaze became softer and softer.
There was a slight blush on his cheeks that was not easy to spot, "He should be there right away." ”
As he spoke, the door to the box was pushed open again.
Just now, the noble lady looked at the tall figure at the door, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." ”
Gu Xihe's gaze was attracted by the figure at the door.
The man standing in the doorway, with a black suit on his arm, a white shirt unbuttoned and two buttons, a slightly open neckline, and a delicate collarbone looming.
Brilliant crystal light shone on him.
It seems to be plated with a faint layer of gold.
Zhou Qingqing got up and walked to his side and held his arm affectionately.
She forgot to look away, looking at the posture of the two.
In Gu Xihe's eyes, there was a surprise that could not be concealed, it turned out that he was Yan Moshen's aunt's boyfriend.
I saw the man hugging Zhou Qingqing's slender waist.
There was detachment in his faint voice, "Sorry, has it already started?" ”
Zhou Qingqing leaned on his chest, "It's okay, I know you're usually busy with work, and I'm very happy that you can come here." ”
The words carried the meekness of a little woman, soft and soft.
"Look at Qingqing, I've never seen her like this on weekdays."
The lady standing next to her joked.
Zhou Qingqing's cheeks flushed, and she said embarrassedly, "Sister! ”
The people sitting on the chair looked at her so shy, and laughed, and Zhou Qingqing was embarrassed to bury herself in the man's arms.
Huo Jincheng had a cold smile on his face and did not speak.
Gu Xihe looked at the two people who were snuggling in a trance.
Feeling the strength on her shoulders increase again, she pulled back her distant thoughts.
Looking up, he saw Yan Moshen's slightly dissatisfied expression.
Gu Xihe looked away a little weakly, and Old Man Zhou sat on the main seat, "Since everyone has arrived, let's all enter the banquet." ”
As he spoke, everyone present sat down around the round table.
At the banquet, the waiter brought a disinfectant towel, and Huo Jin admitted that he had a slight habit of cleanliness.
Asked to change the towel twice and wiped your hands.
Handing the towel back to the waiter, Old Man Zhou suddenly said coldly, "Qingqing has been with you for three years, when do you plan to get married?" ”
The expression on the man's face was very light, and he held the two hands of a knife and fork.
Slender and good-looking, the cuffs of the shirt are rolled up, revealing the strong forearms.
Zhou Qingqing looked at him stupidly, with crazy infatuation in her eyes.
It seemed to be waiting for him to answer.
Huo Jincheng knew that she was looking at him, but he didn't look up, and replied casually, "This matter, don't worry." ”
His tone was extremely light, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
But he, in refusal.
Suddenly, all sides were quiet, and Zhou Qingqing's eyes were obviously disappointed.
Looking at the delicious food on the plate, she lost her appetite.
Looking up again, the corners of her lips had a faint smile, "Dad, I also think it's still early for this matter, I've been waiting for three years, and I can wait a little longer." ”
From beginning to end, Huo Jincheng didn't look up at her.
After a moment of silence, the topic suddenly turned to Gu Xihe.
"Xihe, you and Mo Shen have been married for so long, you should be planning to have a child."
It was Yan Moshen's second aunt who spoke.
Gu Xihe's hand trembled suddenly, and the fork in his hand was not held steady.
It fell on the marble floor with a crisp sound.
She felt that her back was tight, Yan Moshen looked at her, and said casually, "The world of the two is not enough, the child's matter, let's slow down for the time being." ”
Gu Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, and the waiter handed over the knife and fork of the heart.
With her head down, she only felt a deep gaze looking at her.
Half an hour later.
Huo Jincheng went out to answer a phone call, and when he came back, he said that there was something and he had to leave first.
This dinner was meant to be meaningful.
Now that the protagonist is leaving, this dinner party is just a few more polite words to each other, and then they can disperse.
Huo Jincheng stood up calmly, elegantly buttoned the cuffs, and the assistant handed over the coat, "I'm sorry, I have something to deal with first tonight, I'll pay for this meal." ”
With that, he turned and left the box.
In the end, the dinner party ended unhappily.
……
The lights in the carriage were extremely dim, and the deep facial features seemed to be deeper than the night, and the mobile phone screen that was resting next to it suddenly lit up.
He answered the phone, and the voice on the other side came out of the receiver.
"How do you feel about tonight's Hongmen banquet?"
jokingly, Huo Jincheng seemed to smile and raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?" ”
The person on the other end of the phone said, "The old man of the Zhou family won't force marriage again, if I were him, I would be embarrassed to mention this matter again." ”
He didn't speak, his dark eyes staring straight ahead.
"You just returned to China and held a dust washing banquet for you, come over quickly."
"The company still has things to deal with, so the dust washing banquet will be avoided."
The person on the other end complained, "It's this excuse again, those complicated numbers are nothing to look at, and if you look at so many numbers all day long, if you don't have a headache, I'll give you a headache." ”
"There's no time, you guys play."
The person on the other end couldn't speak for a long time.
"Third brother, it's not good for your kidneys to stay up late that you often work overtime, don't use it when it's time to use it......"
Before he finished speaking, Huo Jincheng chuckled and said, "You still have to worry about your own affairs, I heard that your girlfriend is pregnant, and the child is not yours." ”
The man on the other end finally stopped talking.
replied with a smile, "Count, third brother, I can't tell you anything." ”
