Chapter Forty-Eight: People Didn't Take a Fancy to You
Xiao Hansheng heard Manli's voice, and then turned his head slightly, and nodded his head towards her, which was regarded as a greeting.
For Xiao Hansheng's coldness, Manli didn't seem surprised, just smiled slightly, and turned her eyes to Qiao Xi on the side.
"Qiao Xi, it's your first time coming to the Xiao family." Manli Zhu's lips opened lightly, and she said to Qiao Xi in front of her, "If there is anything you don't feel comfortable with, just open your mouth, after all, you may be busy for a while." ”
Manli's words were very gentle, as if she was caring about Qiao Xi, but she was invisibly directly placing herself in the position of her own person.
It's as if she is the Xiao family's own person, and Qiao Xi is just an outsider.
Listening to Manli's words, Qiao Xi's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't care much.
After all, in his opinion, Manli seems to be Xiao Hansheng's hair that grew up together, or rather, it is a further affection, and she is just an accident that happened halfway.
Although she is not everyone's temperament, at the same time, she does not have a habit of snatching love.
Smiling slightly at Manli in front of her, Qiao Xi's delicate little face smiled politely, "Okay, then trouble you......"
Before Qiao Xi's words were finished, Xiao Hansheng directly interrupted her words coldly: "My people don't need others to bring them yet." ”
After speaking, Xiao Hansheng just glanced at Man Li lightly, and then directly led Qiao Xi towards the crowd on the side.
Qiao Xi was also slightly stunned when he heard Xiao Hansheng's words, and looked at the man on the side with some puzzlement, his eyes touched the angular handsome face of the other party, Qiao Xi still blushed slightly unconsciously.
Suddenly retracting his gaze, Qiao Xi patted his face, letting all the emotions in his heart disperse.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and she doesn't have any extra thoughts!
Secretly reminding himself in his heart, Qiao Xi took a deep breath, his delicate little face had returned to its original calm, and his clear eyes were also indifferent, like a pool of calm lake, too quiet.
As for Xiao Hansheng's actions just now, Qiao Xi simply attributed this to Xiao Hansheng, who didn't want to be embarrassed on such an important occasion.
Thinking about it, the emotions in Qiao Xi's heart also settled down.
Xiao Hansheng walked in front of a group of old men with Qiao Xi, nodded respectfully to the old man in front of him, and said, "Senior." ”
"Hmm." An Renliang sat in the middle of the seat, looked at Xiao Hansheng who came over, and just responded lightly, with no dissatisfaction on his face.
An Renliang didn't speak, but another old man on the side looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Hansheng, this is your wife?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Hansheng nodded towards the old man who spoke, although his face was still indifferent, the respect in his tone could be clearly felt, "She is Qiao Xi, the current executor of the Qiao family." ”
Hearing the introduction later, several people paused slightly, and a trace of strangeness crossed their eyes, but it was only for a moment, and it was completely hidden.
An Renliang on the side looked at the few old men who were still smiling hypocritically, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically to Xiao Hansheng: "You old people, don't praise this stinky boy, it's been so long, and you don't know how to scream when you see your seniors." ”
As he spoke, An Renliang's gaze also followed towards Qiao Xi on the side
Go, although there was a hint of scrutiny and exploration in his sight, Qiao Xi knew very well that there was no malice in this sight.
Feeling the sight of these old people in front of him, Qiao Xi didn't mind, but stood in the middle generously, smiling slightly, and the delicate little face accompanied this smile was also a little more dazzling.
An Renliang looked at Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi also looked at An Renliang, looking at each other, feeling the pressure in An Renliang's eyes, Qiao Xi's sight did not have a trace of dodging and hesitation, from beginning to end with a faint smile, calm excessive.
In the end, An Renliang smiled and looked away, and the exploration in his eyes dissipated a lot, and he was a little more satisfied: "You girl is bold and open-minded, there are not many juniors who dare to look at me like this." ”
While speaking, An Renliang's eyes also looked towards Xiao Hansheng on the side, and just now he was still smiling, and he turned black directly, looking like he didn't want to see Xiao Hansheng, "Such a good girl, it's really cheap for you." ”
Xiao Hansheng listened to An Renliang's words, but raised his eyes slightly, undeniable.
Qiao Xi listened to the words of the two, and the originally tense nerves unconsciously relaxed a lot.
"Xiaoxi, you don't have to be restrained here, it's okay to be at your own home, even if something happens, there is this stinky boy to carry around for you." An Renliang said as he glanced at Xiao Hansheng.
Regarding An Renliang's attitude towards Xiao Hansheng, Qiao Xi just smiled slightly, which was undeniable.
The two are obviously not really incompatible, Qiao Xi can see that the relationship between the two people, in fact, compared to others, should be the deepest.
It's just that from the beginning, she didn't plan to rely on Xiao Hansheng too much, although the two are now married, but they just take what they want, what she needs has been obtained, and there is no need to continue to trouble Xiao Hansheng.
Thinking about it, Qiao Xi smiled at An Renliang in front of him, and said, "Grandpa An, don't worry, I still have the ability to protect myself." ”
As he spoke, Qiao Xi glanced at Xiao Hansheng on the side and withdrew his gaze, without any superfluous emotions in his clear eyes.
Xiao Hansheng looked at Qiao Xi's turned gaze, and his thin lips tightly pursed into a line.
At least from the current point of view, it is still a long way to go if he wants to make Qiao Xi completely rely on him.
An Renliang listened to Qiao Xi's words and also noticed the emotion in Qiao Xi's eyes.
His eyes turned back and forth on Xiao Hansheng and Qiao Xi's bodies, An Renliang seemed to have suddenly discovered a new world, with some vicissitudes of life, a trace of clarity instantly crossed in his eyes, and there was a little more smile in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Hansheng, which was meaningful, or rather, ...... With pride.
When Xiao Hansheng's eyes fell on An Renliang, he naturally felt the other party's intentions, and his ink-colored eyes just glanced at him lightly, with a meaning that only each other could see.
Qiao Xi stood aside, looking at the "eyebrow flirtation" between the two, and realized that his existence might have a certain impact.
Slightly moving away from a safe distance, Qiao Xi smiled politely at An Renliang in front of him, and said, "Grandpa An, you talk first, I see an acquaintance, so I won't bother." ”
After speaking, Qiao Xi smiled at Xiao Hansheng beside him, and left directly with the wine glass in his hand.
Xiao Hansheng looked at Qiao Xi's back as he left, and his thin lips pursed a little tighter.
His fingers moved slightly, but he finally took back all his movements, if he really restricted Qiao Xi to his side, the result would only be counterproductive.
An Renliang looked at Xiao Hansheng with a gloomy face in front of him, looked at Qiao Xi who had already left, and finally couldn't help laughing.
"Xiao Hansheng, I said why did you get people done so quickly, and the emotional people still haven't taken a fancy to you now." The more An Renliang spoke, the expression on his face became more and more proud, as if he had a bad breath.
Xiao Hansheng looked at the man in front of him who had completely stopped scrupling and laughed at him directly, his gloomy face raised a subtle arc, just looked at An Renliang lightly, and then said word by word: "An Renliang, I think the border matter, maybe we can re-plan." ”
Listening to Xiao Hansheng's words, the smile on An Renliang's face stiffened directly on his face, and he didn't laugh for a while.
Xiao Hansheng looked at the complicated look on An Renliang's face, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his mood improved slightly.
"Okay, let's cut to the chase, let's talk about the recent border problems." An old man on the side looked at the two of them and interrupted their stalemate with his mouth, "Although the current progress is in a stable state, we have also found a hidden danger, and this hidden danger seems to come from your Xiao family." ”
As he spoke, the old man paused slightly, with a hint of fierceness and seriousness in his old eyes, "The Xiao family in the past." ”
The old man's voice was faint, but it was an invisible explanation, this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Hansheng, after all, Xiao Hansheng represented the current Xiao family.
The Xiao family in the past represented a piece of black, the dark side of society, and now the Xiao family, which is being whitewashed, is what Xiao Hansheng is responsible for.
Xiao Hansheng listened to the old man's words, his ink-colored eyes flickered slightly, and then he gently picked up the wine glass in his hand and put it to his lips and took a sip, with a hint of danger in his eyes, "I know." ”
After Qiao Xi left Xiao Hansheng's side, he directly found a quiet corner.
After all, this place is the banquet of the Xiao family, and most of the people on her opposite side are not familiar with her, and some of the remaining business partners are in this place, so that she does not have any conversation.
Holding the goblet in his hand, Qiao Xi shook it a few times carelessly, the vermilion liquid exuded a bewitching light under the light, and with Qiao Xi's slender and white fingers, it gave people a visual impact.
Although he was already standing in the corner, Qiao Xi's existence still attracted the attention of many people, and many people turned their eyes to Qiao Xi with inquiry.
After all, everyone is very clear about Xiao Hansheng's marriage, but everyone is not familiar with Qiao Xi.
Gently put the cup to her lips, Qiao Xi took a sip gently, and then put the wine glass in her hand aside, Manli didn't know when she had walked towards her, followed by a few girls, all dressed gorgeously, not like she came to the banquet, more like she came to be beautiful.
Looking at the person in front of him, Qiao Xi put away the emotions in his eyes and slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.
"Qiao Xi? Alone? Manli looked at Qiao Xi and glanced around her, "I originally thought that Han Sheng would accompany you, he is usually a little cold, but he is generally a gentleman, I didn't expect him to leave you here so quickly." 2k reading network
