After Xu Zhongbei finished speaking, the birthday banquet began.

Jiang Ruyi was going to eat something casually, but when she took the opportunity to hand over the gift to the old man, she was done, but as soon as she picked up the chopsticks and didn't eat them, she saw the housekeeper next to the old man walking towards her.

Jiang Ruyi immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up, and greeted politely: "Steward Xu." ”

"Young lady, why are you sitting here?"

Jiang Ruyi smiled apologetically: "I'm a little late." ”

"The master is looking for you, you can come with me."

"Thank you."

Jiang Ruyi followed behind the butler, walked all the way through the staggered group of guests, walked to the round table at the front, and stopped.

Xu Qibao, who was sitting next to the old man, saw her eyes.

"Ruyi, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiang Ruyi smiled at him, then looked at the old man, and handed over the good gift that had been prepared in his hand: "Grandpa, I wish you a long and happy birthday." ”

The butler on the side reached out and took the gift.

The old man looked at her with a kind smile, he beckoned to her, pointed to the empty position next to Qibao and said, "Qibao has been looking for you just now, and I can see that he likes you very much, so you can sit next to him." ”

Jiang Ruyi was a little frightened, and hurriedly refused: "Grandpa, I'll just sit casually......."

The maid on the side had already pulled out a chair for her and made a 'please' gesture.

Jiang Ruyi couldn't do it, as long as he sat down.

As soon as she sat down and picked up her chopsticks, she felt someone coming by her.

Subconsciously looked up, and saw that Xu Zhongbei, who was holding a wine glass, had already pulled out the chair next to her and sat down with her legs raised.

Maybe his aura is too strong, or maybe she rejects him too much.

The moment Xu Zhongbei sat down, Jiang Ruyi subconsciously moved to Qibao's side.

Although her movements were small, she still did not escape Xu Zhongbei's eyes.

He raised his eyes, glanced at her coldly, and then withdrew his gaze and looked away.

Because this table is the main table, there are birthday stars, and people keep coming to toast, and the atmosphere is very lively.

Jiang Ruyi's nervousness also eased unconsciously.

Xu Qibao was the happiest, he had been next to Jiang Ruyi, and his voice was so sweet: "Ruyi, you are really beautiful today, just like a fairy." ”

Jiang Ruyi looked at him with a smile while peeling shrimp for him: "Thank you, Qibao." ”

After speaking, she added with a smile: "You are also very handsome today, just like the little prince in a fairy tale." ”

"Really?" Xu Qibao, who suddenly received such high praise, blushed and became shy, "Ruyi, if I were a prince, would you like to be my princess?" ”

"Ahh Jiang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then became happy, "Okay, I'll be your princess." ”

She thought for a moment, and then casually asked, "Then who will be the witch?" ”

Xu Qibao raised his hand and pointed to the man sitting on her left: "Dad, he is the most suitable to be a witch." ”

Jiang Ruyi looked in the direction of his finger, only to see the man next to him staring at Xu Qibao with a displeased expression, his eyes were a little scary.

Afraid that he would be angry with Qibao, Jiang Ruyi hurriedly explained softly: "Qibao just said casually, don't be angry." ”

The man's gaze, which was originally staring at Xu Qibao, was slightly deflected and landed on her face.

His eyes were deep, but his gaze was extremely cold.

The thin lips opened slightly, and the voice was even lowered: "What does it have to do with you!" ”
