Yan Xinyi stroked the back of his hand and gave him silent comfort. He immediately grabbed her tightly, so tight that she ached. Tears slowly rolled down his cheeks, he didn't wipe them, a tear flowed, more than 20 years of spiritual shackles, those pain, grievances, loss, unspeakable pain, all turned into tears in the tears.

In the past few days, the weather in Guancheng has been surprisingly cold, the cold wave has hit, the temperature has plummeted below zero, and with sleet, the climate has been extremely bad. But Ye Mingchao and Sheng Lanting's engagement banquet was still held in a high-end hotel as scheduled, and only their respective families attended, and two tables were opened.

Yan Xinyi felt that her identity was embarrassing, and she didn't want to participate, but Sheng Changtian decided that she was also a member of the Sheng family, and he was well-informed, and he had learned about the relationship between Yan Xinyi and Zhong Kenan from the elites of Zhong Kenan's company, and insisted that she bring Zhong Kenan with her.

The Sheng family still came with those few people, the number of people was small, plus Ye Mingchao, Yan Xinyi, Zhong Kenan and Cheng Shize, they just made up a table, and the other table was all from the Hu family except for Ye Shizhong and Hu Man, and none of the people from the Ye family were invited. Since Sheng Baiheng and Sheng Xingchen's accident, the air pressure of the Sheng family has become very low, like countless taut strings stretching in the room, and the slightest touch will cause breaking. This time, because everyone was discussing Sheng Lanting's marriage, the air pressure finally rose slowly.

Sheng Xingchen's body has fully recovered, he has restrained a lot, and he is no longer as arrogant as before. Sheng Baiheng became depressed, as if he had no interest in anything. The brothers still get along as before, but the relationship has become delicate, and both are careful to avoid unpleasant topics.

Sheng Changtian also fell into a low ebb for a while, and slowly walked out with Qiu Naping's company and guidance. Only Sheng Lanting is still the same, she doesn't care about what happens at home, and she doesn't care about her family's feelings, she is still self-centered and willful. Sheng Changtian had a headache for this daughter, but there was nothing he could do about her.

Qiu Naping was very happy to see Zhong Kenan coming, sitting next to him and asking long and short questions, she is now a mother-in-law and a son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, but Yan Xinyi was left out by her own mother. She looked around boredly, and inadvertently, her eyes met Ye Mingchao's, and he immediately dodged away. Ye Mingchao was very indifferent to Yan Xinyi tonight, except for nodding and greeting when he first took his seat, he didn't look at her the rest of the time. The relationship between him and Sheng Lanting seems to be heating up rapidly, and the two have been talking in a whisper, and the shape is intimate, but Yan Xinyi can see that he is acting, trying to play the role of a gentle and considerate qualified fiancé in front of the two families.

Yan Xinyi's gaze swept over Shi Ze again, he just cared about burying his head in eating, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. In fact, he is also a pure outsider, and it is only because of the importance of Sheng Changtian that he has a special status, and he can often go in and out of the Sheng family, and he is also invited to participate in various family banquets. Before Sheng Changtian wanted to match Cheng Shize and Sheng Lanting, Cheng Shize must have known it. Now that Sheng Lanting is famous, looking at his indifferent appearance, he must not be interested in this rude and willful daughter, but Sheng Changtian shaved his head and the burden is hot.

It was raining and snowing outside, but it was staggered and steaming inside, but Yan Xinyi felt that under the false and lively appearance, there was tension and depression flowing in the air. Sheng Lanting wore a low-cut red evening dress, with jewels and a pink face, and the most proud person in this marriage belonged to her. She went to Hu Man before, in an attempt to create a momentum and put pressure on Ye Mingchao through Hu Man. But she wasn't sure if Hu Man would agree, and if she really didn't agree, she could only hope for pregnancy and add bargaining chips to herself. Unexpectedly, Hu Man agreed very happily, and was affectionate to her, and he already treated her as a future daughter-in-law. Later, it was confirmed that she was not pregnant as she wished, but her goal had been achieved, but she was glad that she was not pregnant, she wanted to enjoy the two-person world with Ye Mingchao, and having a child was a big hindrance. Before tonight, although Ye Mingchao agreed to get engaged, every time Sheng Lanting asked for a date, he shirked it on the grounds that he was busy with work. It is rare for Ye Mingchao to be so kind to her tonight, she is overjoyed, and arrogantly asks the waiter to bring three bottles of Moutai wine first, and only when she drinks white can she be energetic and have fun. Ye Mingchao didn't stop her, with a gesture that you were happy.

After the three bottles of Moutai came up, Sheng Lanting didn't care whether others wanted to drink it or not, he opened a bottle of Moutai by himself, and poured a full glass for himself and Ye Mingchao. "Come, cheers to our happy life!" She smiled and raised her glass to Ye Mingchao.

Ye Mingchao touched the cup with her. She raised her head, and a glass of white wine went down to her stomach, as if she was drinking boiled water, and stunned everyone else at the table.

Ye Mingchao didn't drink a sip.

"Why don't you drink it?" Sheng Lanting urged.

Ye Mingchao took a small sip symbolically, and then attached it to Sheng Lanting's ear and didn't know what to say, Sheng Lanting listened, and deliberately pulled down the neckline of the evening dress, from Ye Mingchao's point of view, it was just right to take in the scenery in the neckline. The two whispered for a while, and Sheng Lanting smiled contentedly, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll let you go first." I'm so good at drinking, I'm not like you, don't worry. ”

Sheng Lanting didn't force Ye Mingchao to drink anymore, she simply picked up the wine bottle, poured it into her mouth, and took a big sip. "Good wine!" She sighed with satisfaction, and used her chopsticks to add a large piece of lobster meat to Ye Mingchao's bowl, and another piece for herself, "

Fine wine, beautiful men and food, I feel that my life has reached a climax. ”

She finished the lobster meat with relish, and drank two large glasses of wine in a row.

And Ye Mingchao didn't have an appetite at all, so he didn't move his chopsticks. After Sheng Lanting drank to his heart's content, he put his arms around Ye Mingchao's neck and blew into his ears.

Ye Mingchao shuddered for a moment, and Sheng Lanting laughed wildly. Yan Xinyi just raised her eyes and caught Ye Mingchao's fleeting disgusted expression. But he instantly talked and laughed with Sheng Lanting again, and his expression was natural. Sheng Lanting drank too much wine and became more and more presumptuous, and even stretched out his hand to Ye Mingchao's crotch.

Ye Mingchao quickly grabbed her hand, he approached her, and there was a warning in his gentle voice: "Don't go too far, you can play as much as you want in private, but in public, you should pay attention to your image." ”

"Okay, listen to you." Sheng Lanting obediently withdrew his hand, picked up the wine glass and continued to drink.

Sheng Lanting has an amazing amount of wine, three bottles of Moutai, Sheng Lanting himself drank one and a half bottles. Everyone else basically drank red wine, only Sheng Baiheng and Cheng Shize drank a small glass of white wine each. When the banquet was coming to an end, Sheng Changtian took Sheng Baiheng, Sheng Xingchen and Cheng Shize to the next table to toast, those relatives of the Hu family were all high-ranking officials, and Sheng Changtian also wanted to take the opportunity to win over the relationship with them. Ye Mingchao then got up and went to the bathroom. As soon as Sheng Lanting saw Sheng Changtian and them leaving, she immediately put the half bottle of leftover Moutai wine on the table into her shoulder bag, got up and left the table, she walked to the floor coat rack at the entrance of the box with a little vague steps, took off her mink coat, opened the door and walked out.

When Sheng Changtian came back, he saw that Sheng Lanting was not there, thinking that she was going to the bathroom, and he didn't ask. After a long time, I heard Ye Mingchao say that Lanting didn't know where he had gone, and he hadn't come back for so long. When Sheng Lanting left, only Qiu Naping, Yan Xinyi and Zhong Kenan were left at the same table, and the three of them happened to be chatting and chatting at that time, and no one noticed Sheng Lanting's departure.

Later, a waiter told them that he seemed to see Sheng Lanting carrying a bag and a coat in his hand and going out of the box. The crowd walked to the coat rack and saw that her mink coat was gone.

"Nonsense!" Sheng Chang's weather is choking enough, on such an important occasion, Sheng Lanting is the protagonist of the engagement banquet, how can he leave without saying a word, he really doesn't understand the rules, it's too rude! He hurriedly called Sheng Lanting to order her to come back, but the phone rang for a long time after it was connected, but no one answered. He kept making repeated calls, and the calls remained unanswered. In desperation, he had no choice but to apologize to Hu Man, who generously said that it didn't matter, maybe there was something urgent to leave in a hurry, anyway, the engagement ceremony had already been held, and it had no impact, so don't blame the child.

Everyone dispersed, and when they were leaving, Yan Xinyi secretly glanced at Ye Mingchao, he was standing there, like a statue, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and there was no expression on his face at all.

The room is as light as a bean, and everything seems faint and hazy. Yan Xinyi leaned on the sofa and looked out the window unconsciously, her long eyelashes were half-hanging, and a pair of black eyes were hidden deep under her eyelashes. There was a sound of running water in the bathroom, Zhong Kenan was cleaning the bathtub, she thought he was going to take a bath, but after a while, he came over with a glass of red wine and sat down next to her.

Yan Xinyi stared at him, "I said that it's not good to drink before going to bed......"

"Just make an exception tonight, okay?" Zhong Kenan's deep eyes flashed with a subtle smile, and as soon as Yan Xinyi touched his eyes, his thoughts stopped, and he couldn't speak.

Zhong Kenan smiled, raised his wine glass, and opened his mouth to take a big sip.

Yan Xinyi stared at him with a raised face, her red lips slightly curled.

He didn't swallow the wine, but he hooked her head with one hand and gave her all the red wine in his mouth, and she was forced to open her mouth and swallow it all.

"You're so annoying...... she protested coquettishly, and he fed him a second and third sip of red wine, only a small murmur lingering from her lips and teeth.
