Chapter 112: Birthday Banquet
After the champagne reception, the graduation ceremony came to an end, and the graduates had a lot of plans, and the fraternity and sorority also prepared wonderful activities, graduation prom, the fraternity's last challenge, and so on. But Joanna accompanied An Feng.
An Feng took her hand and walked around the campus, turned his head and asked her, "You're not going to attend the graduation party?" ”
Joanna smiled slightly: "My sisterhood held a party in advance, and ...... I love being with you. ”
An Feng kissed the back of her hand and asked with a smile: "Then now, my noble duchess, where are we going?" ”
Joanna pretended to be serious and corrected: "Wrong, the duke is mostly a royal relative, and I am a countess!" After saying that, she also smiled: "I'll leave tomorrow, although it's temporary, but it's a little reluctant, why don't we have a snack at a nearby restaurant?" There are a lot of Chinese restaurants here! ”
"Little gluttonous cat." An Feng pulled her towards the school cafeteria. There are a lot of Chinese students at Berkeley, so there are a lot of Chinese restaurants, and the flavor is not bad, he has tried it a few times when he came here before, and it feels no worse than those places outside Chinatown that claim to be authentic Chinese food.
Had a simple dinner with Joanna in the restaurant, with the same couples around him, the process was simple, but the content was sweet, and it was a little proud...... Nothing else, An Feng felt that he had soaked in the goddess, and even the expression of looking at people was also majestic.
Apparently he thinks Joanna is the most beautiful in the world, so others should-
"Inexplicable." A pair of good Chinese friends who walked away complained that An Feng was injured.
After dinner, An Feng took her to hang out, go to the movies, and then go home happily...... The next day, he called a business jet to pick up his friends who were going to SLO for Joanna's birthday party in the evening. There are not many people, and all the people she invites are good, and the 17-seat business jet is competent enough.
They didn't fly, and Joanna's car had to drive back. Seeing that there was plenty of time, An Feng, who was in charge of driving, specially took the No. 1 highway, which is known as the most beautiful road in the west. The weather is sunny in June, and the morning is also the time when the temperature is suitable, all the way to the green mountains and trees, the waves are rushing, this beautiful scenery is intoxicating, it is noon when they get home, but they are not tired, because they stop and stop all the way, and there are more elements of play.
Saying goodbye to Joanna, she was going back to prepare for tonight's feast. An Feng also had to take a break and recharge his energy to attend the banquet in the evening, this time it was not only Joanna's friends who were invited, but also some elders and relatives, who needed to pay attention to dress up and etiquette, but fortunately, An Feng was also familiar with the road.
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, An Feng drove to Sassen Winery.
There are many vehicles at the entrance and many guests. An Feng, who was dressed in a black tuxedo dress and a white shirt, got out of the car and followed the other guests who came in time into the main hall.
The living room is beautifully decorated, it originally imitated the European style, and after adding a little theme, under the light of crystal chandeliers, ladies in different styles of dresses and men with elegant manners walked on the warm-colored carpet, and gathered in pairs to talk, which really had a bit of the grandeur of a European court.
As the host of the banquet, Joanna can only be described as "stunning four" tonight.
It was the first time for An Feng to see her wearing such a formal floor-length dress, a blue bandeau dress full of shiny rhinestones and exquisite embroidery was elegant, her coiled hair made her imposing, and lined her slender neck, with a delicate platinum chain hanging around her neck, and two white arms naturally hanging down beside her, indifferently responding to the greeting guests. Even the simplest of smiles can feel her deep confidence.
An Feng felt that her height supported this elegant bandeau dress, and her temperament showed her aura, if she went to the red carpet, she would kill a group of pretentious actresses in seconds.
Especially the shape of the coiled hair, revealing her entire delicate face, if you are not very confident in your face shape, ordinary women would not dare to expose their foreheads, Joanna happens to be a beautiful person in appearance.
She stood quietly in full costume, and her delicate smile in front of the guests dimmed the luster of the other ladies who came and went, and even the ladies spent very little time with her, in order not to become the green leaves that set off the red flowers. It makes people sigh, this is the style of a noble lady who can't be imitated.
An Feng quietly admired it for a long time, and it wasn't until the guest who gave the gift in front of him finished walking away that he stepped forward with a smile, hugged Joanna, and performed two veneer salutes, Joanna who wore high heels was about the same height as An Feng, and he was really blinded before. He gave her the gift and praised it in his mouth: "I can only say from the bottom of my heart that you are the most beautiful in the world, even if you think I am full of exaggeration, I will not change my position." ”
Joanna smiled and opened the gift box, took out a beautiful platinum bracelet in surprise, and covered her mouth with one hand: "Oh! It's really beautiful! ”
An Feng looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Love you!" Joanna took the initiative to kiss him, which made the guests around her envious, she stretched out her right hand and couldn't wait to say, "Help me put it on." ”
"We're here to help." An Feng carefully put the bracelet on her right wrist, he was secretly glad that he was right to choose Cartier, although some people said that it was pretentious and deliberately made a proud aristocratic atmosphere, but now it is used on Joanna, it is simply perfect and appropriate!
"Oh!" Joanna happily raised her hand to admire it and hugged An Feng again, "I really like this gift!" ”
An Feng patted her on the back gently: "Save the excitement when we are alone." Now, you are a noble queen. ”
"I am!" Joanna smiled slightly, and when she let go of him, her expression had returned to the indifference she had just now, and she was still a little cold and arrogant when she savored it.
An Feng left satisfied, and other guests also sent gifts one after another.
The Sinclair family, which is a distant relative, also came, and the old lady's second son, Matthew Sinclair, brought her daughter Catherine to the scene, both rich daughters, dressed the same luxury, but the guests all had this feeling: in temperament, Joanna was unmatched.
So Catherine, like the other ladies, quickly left the area around the powerful "queen" and said hello to An Feng: "Hi, Bruce! ”
"Hello, Catherine!" An Feng smiled and nodded, "How is Mrs. Sinclair?" ”
Catherine shook her head slightly: "It's not good, she's been in the hospital for the past two weeks." ”
"I wish her a speedy recovery!" An Feng said.
"It's okay, it's going to be fine." Catherine said.
Later, I chatted with Matthew and mentioned the old lady's condition, but Matthew was more optimistic, because he found it in time and controlled it properly, although his life could not be as free as a normal person, it would not take a sharp turn for the worse. In addition, Matthew is interested in cancer cell research at the research center.
"I believe that miracles will be created at the research center." An Feng said to Matthew. I thought it would be time to take care of the progress of the cell group in a few days.
"I hope so." Matthew said.
If nothing else, just because the old lady is Anfeng's big backer, it is necessary for him to let her live healthy. She has to come forward to speak about so many things, the consortium boss covers himself, and others dare to mess around? This is not only about friendship, but also about some interests.
After the guests arrived, the birthday party began, first of all, the host's brief and humorous greetings, and then the big cake was pushed up, with twenty-two candles inserted on it, symbolizing the beautiful 22 years old, everyone gathered around Joanna, the lights gradually dimmed, and the specially invited oratorio began an ethereal and sacred chant.
In this voice that seemed to be placed in heaven, Joanna held the wishing stone in her hand, placed it on her chest, glanced at An Feng in the crowd, under the candlelight, she closed her eyes, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her beautiful wish was promised, and then she blew out the candle.
After making a wish, it was the birthday star to cut the cake, An Feng saw Henry in the crowd, and the last time it was the cake war he started. Henry, this guy smiled shyly, on such a serious occasion, if he learned from the boys, it is estimated that he will be the public enemy of the ladies in the future, so the banquet is normal and solemn.
Joanna took a small bite of the cake, and with the sound of music, the men and women were free to move, and An Feng took the initiative to invite Joanna to dance. Without the gorgeous grandeur of the court dance, An Feng came to a simple ballroom dance, but the rhythm of the dance was very good, and the emotional investment was true.
