Chapter 15: Birthday
In the next few days, Yi Qi Wanxi can be described as preoccupied. Although he and Qi Tianyu are an unmarried couple, Qi Tianyu is very busy and often can't see each other. Xu is the sum of the previous things, Yi Qi Wanxi often thinks that the difference between having a fiancé and not having a fiancé does not seem to be much.
Qi Tianyu was very busy, but what was he busy with, Yi Qi Wanxi never asked. Yi Qi Wanxi still played with herself, and Qi Tianyu didn't ask her.
Yi Qi Wanxi thought that after returning to China, she should have more contact with Qi Tianyu and a more intimate relationship, but at least until now, the two are no different from before. still can't see each other, except for that layer of relationship that implicates each other, it still seems like there is no other party in life.
Coupled with what Yi Qi Mancao said to her that night, Yi Qi Wanxi thought more. She was even wondering if she should continue to maintain this relationship with Qi Tianyu.
In fact, Yi Qi Wanxi understands that the reason why she thinks like this is that she has no direct connection with Lianji, and a bigger part of it is her own problem.
Yi Qi Wanxi and Qi Tianyu have been separated for five years, and too much has happened in these five years. Yi Qi Wanxi has met a lot of people, and there are many temptations for such excellent people as her. Aside from Qi Tianyu, she has a better choice. At least in those five years, the person who accompanied her and gave her love and warmth was not Qi Tianyu. In those five years, everything she experienced, Qi Tianyu was not completely clear. But Yi Qi Wanxi has always thought that she will return to China, she has always told herself that her fiancé is Qi Tianyu, Qi Tianyu is her fiancé, and she has to stick to it if she chooses it. After all, it was originally said that he would not marry in this life.
But no matter how much Yi Qi Wanxi gave herself psychological hints, she still had someone other than Qi Tianyu in her heart. So Yi Qi Wanxi felt that Qi Tianyu must have other women in his heart.
But Qi Tianyu was very good to herself, so good that she thought that she only had herself in her heart. But now Yi Qi Wanxi doesn't think that she is a loyal woman, she thinks that she is playing with Qi Tianyu's feelings like this, so she gradually feels guilty. Yi Qi Mancao said that the third sister seemed very depressed recently, but Yi Qi smiled indifferently and did not speak.
said that in the blink of an eye, it was September 26, and there was a bustle in Yiqi's mansion. All the famous families in Shanghai gathered in Yiqi Mansion to celebrate the first birthday of Yiqi Mansion's 3,000 gold returning to China, and it was also Yiqi Wanxi's nineteenth birthday.
Just after dusk, night falls. Yi Qiwan was wearing a red half-sleeved embroidered cheongsam, a red Western-style coat, and her European-style court curls were taken care of by her subordinates, and she was pinned with a gold hairpin with exquisite workmanship. The skin is like snow, the eyebrows are like the moon, and the red lips are like flames. She sat in a chair at the table in front of her room, which was piled high with gifts, but she didn't look happy.
The fair-skinned and slender fingers caressed the gift box in front of him, but the beautiful eyes under Yi Qi's thick and curly eyelashes were full of sadness. It's like a mountain of gifts, but there is no one she wants most.
"Third sister." The door was pushed open, and what came into the eardrum was Yi Qi Mancao's laughing voice, "Third sister, why are you here?" Everybody's waiting for you to get out. ”
When Yi Qi Wanxi heard this, she came back to her senses, slowly withdrew her hand, got up and looked at Yi Qi Vine behind her, the sad look on her face disappeared in an instant, her smile was gentle and bright, and her tone was gentle and lovely: "I forgot." ”
"The third sister can even forget this." Yi Qi Mancao pouted slightly, stepped forward to hold Yi Qi's arm, and took her out, "Everyone said that they wanted to take a look at today's birthday star, the third sister is so beautiful today, it's a pity not to let everyone see it." ”
Yi Qi Wanxi was half-pulled out by Yi Qi Mancao, and almost broke her foot because she was wearing mid-heeled shoes.
The huge courtyard decorated with lanterns, singing and dancing, is so lively. When Yi Qi Wanxi was pulled by Yi Qi vine grass and appeared in front of everyone, the exclamation overwhelmed the dance music.
Yi Qi raised her eyes and saw the tall figure in the crowd at a glance, he was talking to the people next to him, and he didn't notice her. He was dressed in black, as if hidden in the crowded night. Xu is light shone on his face, and Yi Qi Wanxi felt that he was so bright. At that moment, Yi Qiwanxi's nose was inexplicably sour, and she wanted to hug him through the crowd, but reason made her restrain herself.
Yi Qi Wanxi quickly blinked her eyes and looked at Yi Qi Mingzhi who was walking towards him, in addition to the Wang family and the Li family, there was one more person beside him, a man.
"Big brother, look." Yi Qi Mancao let go of Yi Qi Wanxi, stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm, "Isn't the third sister very beautiful?" ”
"Yes." The deep voice was not bad from what I remembered, but Yi Qi felt very unfamiliar.
Yi Qi Wanxi looked up at the man in front of him, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he looked a lot more mature than he remembered. The light illuminated half of his face, half hidden in the darkness. Yi Qiwanxi's heart was full of emotions, and she looked at him for a few seconds before she slowly spoke: "Long time no see, big brother." ”
Yi Qihui leaned over slightly and stared into her eyes for a few seconds, and said in a joking tone: "Why do you feel like you're going to cry?" ”
Yi Qi Wanxi wanted to cry, but although she hadn't cried yet, she thought what he said was true, so she hurriedly raised her hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her index finger: "No." ”
Seeing this, Yi Qihui straightened his waist and chuckled: "Haha, you're still just as easy to deceive." ”
Yi Qi Wanxi wanted to say something, but heard another laughing voice coming from beside her: "Big brother, are you bullying Wanxi again?" ”
Yi Qi turned around abruptly, almost hitting a chest. The smell of good smell on the clothes, Yi Qi Wanxi was stunned, patted her shoulder with both hands, Yi Qi Wanxi looked up at the side of the person in front of her, it was Yi Qi Zang, he still had a smiling face, and the laughing voice came into Yi Qi Wanxi's eardrums: "Wanxi has a fiancé, aren't you afraid that your brother-in-law will be angry if you bully Wanxi?" ”
Yi Qiwan frowned slightly, but heard Yi Qihui say, "It's obvious that you're the one who often bullies the third sister, right?" ”
Yi Qizang withdrew the hand that was placed on Yi Qi Wanxi's shoulder, and retorted to Yi Qixi: "I'm a good brother, how can I bully Wanxi." Then he looked at Wanxi again, blinked lightly and asked, "Yes, Wanxi?" ”
Yi Qixi only smiled lightly and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Yi Qihui stopped arguing with Yi Qizang, and was about to change the topic, but heard Yi Qimancao's slightly disdainful voice say: "You two are similar, you used to bully me and the third sister." ”
The sound fell, but it caused everyone to laugh, making Yi Qi Mancao look confused.
"Speaking of which, Brother Yu." Yi Qizang looked at the people beside him, and he didn't know that Yi Qi's heart was beating violently, "I heard that the Si family is going to marry the Yi Qi family, and you want to marry our family's vines?" But don't you have someone you like? ”
When the sound fell, Yi Qi Wanxi and Yi Qi Mancao both looked at Si Yu with a calm face on their faces.
Si Yu didn't seem to notice Yi Qi's gentle gaze, nor did he look at her, but only smiled lightly: "It's what my father meant." ”
"No......" Yi Qi Mancao let go of Yi Qiyang, looked up at Si Yu, frowned and asked, "Didn't Si Nan come to propose?" ”
"I wasn't at home during that time, but my father seemed to be in a hurry about it, so he asked my younger brother to send me a dowry first." Si Yu's face did not change at all, and his tone was still calm.
When Yi Qi Mancao heard this, he only felt that his mind was in a trance. It turns out that everything is too much to think about?
"You ......" Yi Qi Mancao almost lost control, but thinking that today was Yi Qi Wanxi's birthday and such an occasion, he tried his best to control his emotions, but no matter how low his voice was, his tone was still trembling, "You have someone you like, why do you want to marry me?" ”
"There are too many external factors." Si Yu's words, Yi Qi Wanxi felt like she was intentionally saying it to herself, "If you like it, you may not be able to be together." ”
Yi Qi's mind rang, and he heard Yi Qi's voice: "No matter what the problem, as long as you can try your best to solve it with the person you like?" Yi Qi Mancao said, his eyes full of disgust, "Because it's your father's will, you want to marry someone you don't like at all?" ”
Realizing that Yi Qi Vine Grass was a little out of control, Wang gently pulled her hand and called softly: "Vine Grass." ”
Yi Qi Mancao shook off the Wang family, looked at Si Yu, and said in a firm tone: "I don't know who you like, and I don't know why you can't be together." But I'm Yiqi vine grass and like Sinan. He paused, lowered his voice slightly, and asked with a half-squinted eye, "Aren't you responsible for yourself, and are you not responsible for me?" ”
When the sound fell, everyone fell silent, and the sound of festive music mixed with the noise of the crowd echoed in the night.
"The meaning of the fourth lady is understood." After a long time, Si Yu spoke slowly, his voice was still flat, "Stay back next time, I will convey the meaning of the fourth miss to my father." When he had finished speaking, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Yi Qizang couldn't help but be a little worried, and immediately called Si Yu: "Brother Yu? ”
Si Yu stopped and looked back at Yi Qi Wanxi: "Wanxi, happy birthday." ”
Yi Qiwanxi's heart beat suddenly, and before she could reply, Si Yu turned around and strode away. Yi Qi looked at Si Yu's back, and when she saw him stop suddenly, there was a trace of anticipation in her heart, but a familiar voice came to her eardrums: "The major general went back so early?" Yi Qi Wanxi squinted slightly, and saw clearly that the person blocking Si Yu's way was Qi Tianyu.
"There are still some things to deal with, so let's take my leave." Si Yu's tone was still flat, and when his voice fell, he walked past Qi Tianyu.
Yi Qi Wanxi looked at Si Yu's back as she quickly moved away, and raised her eyes slightly to meet Qi Tianyu's meaningful gaze, perhaps afraid that her heart would be spied on, Yi Qi Wanxi hurriedly retracted her gaze.
Qi Tianyu presented a gift to Yi Qi Wanxi in front of everyone in the center of the stage, a gold ring inlaid with rubies, and he said softly to her as if announcing sovereignty: "I will give you the grandest wedding in Shanghai." ”
Yi Qiwanxi's mood was very complicated, but she didn't say anything, only smiled indifferently. Qi Tianyu didn't know that the moment Yi Qi lowered his head, his eyes were full of sadness.
Yi Qi Wanxi suddenly felt that time was really magical and cruel, and the golden boy and girl who once made everyone in Shanghai envious were no longer as sweet as in the eyes of outsiders. Each other has their own hearts and minds, but they no longer confide in each other. She thought that she could live with Qi Tianyu without hesitation, but now she has a lot of hesitation.
