A few simple words made Li Deze, who was standing opposite her, look like ashes. Although I had already guessed that this was the result, when I faced it, I still felt like a knife.

The people around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Nangong Xuyao slowly let go of Ye Xiyuan's hand, and didn't even look at Li Deze. Because, in his eyes, Li Deze is not even an opponent.

Such a contemptuous attitude made Li Deze even more devastated. He couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, he had always regarded the other party as a rival in love, but it turned out that in the eyes of the other party, there was no such thing as his own existence at all. Also, how could such a behemoth as the Nangong family look up to him!

Ye Xiyuan acted as if she didn't notice anything, and handed her hand to Li Deze's hand.

Although it has been determined that Ye Xiyuan doesn't like him, Li Deze still wants to invite the other party to dance this dance. This may be the best memory for him.

The two slowly slid onto the dance floor and blended in. And the atmosphere in the banquet hall has also returned to its original liveliness.

Not far away, Qian Gumeng looked at Li Deze's sad appearance, and was very distressed. And when he saw him dancing with Ye Xiyuan, envy and jealousy flashed in his eyes, and his mood was very complicated.

"Xiyuan, do you like the young master of Nangong?" Li Deze looked at Ye Xiyuan in his arms and couldn't help asking.

Things have come to this point, even if he already has the answer in his heart, he still wants to ask clearly. It seems that only by doing this can he completely die.

"Brother Deze, why did you suddenly ask this?" Ye Xiyuan blinked, and a trace of confusion flashed on her face, "We're just good friends." ”

Hearing Ye Xiyuan's answer, Li Deze regained a sense of hope, he took a deep breath, and while cooperating with the dance steps, he brewed emotions, and after a long while, he spoke, "Xiyuan, if I say it, I like it-"

"Brother Deze,"

Before Li Deze's words were finished, she was interrupted by Ye Xiyuan, and she spoke again, "Brother Deze, I'm very happy that you can come to my birthday banquet today." All the while, you have been like my brother and have always protected me, thank you very much. I hope you will be able to take care of and protect me like my brother in the future, and I will be like my sister and be good to you. ”

's words directly dispelled all Li Deze's hopes. His face was full of sadness, and now he was completely dead. However, for Ye Xiyuan, he couldn't let go of anything in his heart. It was the first time he liked someone like this, and now it was gone.

Looking at Li Deze's appearance, Ye Xiyuan was not in a hurry to get an answer from the other party. In a place that no one noticed, a smug glint flashed under her eyes.

Li Deze's net worth is not within her choice at all. However, even so, she will become the indelible white moonlight in Li Deze's heart. She wants to make the other party never forget her and be used by her all the time.

As the song was about to end, Li Deze looked at Ye Xiyuan deeply, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said in a dumb voice, "Xiyuan, I am your brother, if you have anything in the future, as long as you look for me, I will definitely try my best to help you." ”

Although she had long expected this to be the result, Ye Xiyuan still pretended to be surprised, and at the same time there was emotion in her eyes, "Brother Deze, you are really good." I am sure that you will definitely meet someone who is the best fit for you. ”

Looking at the smile on Ye Xiyuan's face, Li Deze felt that everything he was doing now was worth it.

After the dance, Ye Xiyuan returned to her parents again.

At this time, the atmosphere between her and Li Deze is already very harmonious, and there is no previous embarrassment at all.

Ye Li looked at the two of them, and he was even more satisfied with his daughter. originally thought that because of today's events, I was afraid that the friendship with the Li family for many years would be lost. However, now is only the time for a dance, and everything has changed.

"Wanqin," Pang Tingting passed a decent evening dress and walked towards the Ye family, "I'm sorry, I have something to do with the customer temporarily, I'm late." ”

After speaking, she took out a box, handed it to Ye Xiyuan, and said with a smile, "This is a birthday gift for you, do you like it or not?" ”

Ye Xiyuan glanced at Chen Wanqin before taking the box handed over by Pang Tingting, and said thank you with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Pang." ”

With that, she opened the box, and inside was a Cartier diamond bracelet, which looked like it was worth a lot.

Seeing such a gift, Ye Xiyuan was a little surprised. Because she didn't expect that Pang Tingting would be so big. If you really talk about it, they have only met two or three times. Although she is a good friend of her mother, she is not so close to her. Now he will give her millions of bracelets as a birthday gift, which feels too heavy no matter how you look at it.

"Tingting, why did you give such a valuable gift?" Chen Wanqin was also very surprised, "How can I say this well!" It's just a small birthday, and your gift is too valuable. ”

"What's valuable!" Pang Tingting smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with you!" I like Hee Won, that's why I give such a gift. ”

After that, she turned her head, looked at Ye Xiyuan, and asked with a smile, "Xiyuan, do you like the gift that Aunt Pang gave you?" ”

"I like it very much," Ye Xiyuan nodded, knowing that she couldn't excuse herself, she nodded and said politely, "Thank you, Aunt Pang." ”

At this moment, the lively banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the place at the door.

At this time, a girl in a red dress slowly walked in. Unlike other people's dresses, the girl is just wearing a simple and generous red dress, but she can't hide the peerless elegance on her body.

The girl is dressed in a red dress, not tacky, but with a hint of arrogance. Inky black hair cascades down the waist, clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes tremble slightly, fair and flawless skin reveals a faint red powder, and thin lips are delicate like rose petals. The deep eyes are as cold as a clear spring on a snow-capped mountain, and there is an ethereal and cold and arrogant temperament on his body.

Almost everyone was attracted by this girl in red, and everyone was curious about whose daughter such a beautiful girl was.

However, after careful identification, everyone found out that the person who came was none other than the former Miss Ye family-Ye Leng'an. No, to be precise, it should have been held wrongly, not once.

Who would have thought that on an occasion like today, Ye Leng'an would actually appear. Could it be that someone from the Ye family invited it? No way! Is it to invite someone over on such an occasion to smash the field?

It's just that I have to say that it seems that after leaving the Ye family, the changes in Ye Leng'an can really be described as earth-shaking. It's obviously the same face, but it feels completely different from before. Perhaps to be precise, the current Ye Leng'an looks like the kind of person who is sharp.

Not only others, but even Nangong Xuyao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw Ye Leng'an. When investigating Ye Xiyuan, he also saw photos of Leng An overnight. It's obviously the same person.,But the girl who appears now.,It feels completely different from the photo.。 And, most importantly, after seeing Ye Leng'an, he always had a sense of déjà vu. But he was sure that they had never met. Even when they met in the restaurant before, they didn't go up to say hello, they just glanced at it from a distance, and they didn't see it too clearly.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Leng'an's body, Ye Xiyuan hated it so much at the moment. Obviously, she is the protagonist today, but now everyone's eyes are attracted by Ye Leng'an. The protagonist of this banquet is her, and she will never allow Ye Leng'an to steal her light.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to hold Ye Leng'an's hand, "Sister, oh, no, classmate Ye, why are you so late?" ”

Originally, she wanted to call her sister, but thinking of Ye Leng'an's temperament, she was afraid that the other party would not be able to let her off the stage directly, so she still changed her name.

"What? Isn't it you the protagonist today? Ye Leng'an dodged and dodged Ye Xiyuan, then shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said indifferently, "You can come on time, you don't care when the guests come!" ”

's words made Ye Xiyuan suddenly fall into embarrassment.

"Miss Night, it's really well-educated!" Nangong Xuyao took a step forward and stood next to Ye Xiyuan, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Today is Xiyuan's birthday, and you, who are late as a guest, actually think it's Xiyuan's fault." Sure enough, it's so eloquent! ”

At this time, the strangeness in his heart had already dispersed, and after hearing such unkind words, he stood by Ye Xiyuan's side. This is the girl he likes, and he naturally wants to protect it.

Li Deze on the other side, after seeing Nangong Xuyao's actions, his eyes couldn't help but darken. Sure enough, he was one step too late.

"You-" Ye Leng'an looked at Nangong Xuyao in front of him, always feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, he was going to reply, but when the words came to his mouth, he still asked the doubts in his heart, "Have we met before?" ”

Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Ye Xiyuan on the side was a little anxious, she immediately grabbed Nangong Xuyao's arm, and said with a smile, "Classmate Ye probably forgot, we met once before when we were in the restaurant, but because it was inconvenient at that time, I didn't come forward to say hello." ”

She didn't know what Ye Leng'an meant, whether she wanted to seduce Nangong Xuyao. However, she would never allow such a thing to happen. Nangong Xuyao is her fancie, and Ye Leng'an is wanted to be taken away.

"Oh, really?" Ye Leng'an didn't care, she just asked casually, and then, she looked at Ye Xiyuan and said perfunctorily, "Happy birthday!" ”

"Ye Leng'an, you also know that today is Xiyuan's birthday!" Qian Gumeng stood up and looked at Ye Leng'an with a look of disdain, "On a day like today, you don't even wear an evening dress, you are really a dirt bun." Also, did you come to someone's birthday without even bringing a gift? ”

"Why, you invited me to this dinner just to give me a gift?" Ye Leng'an ignored Qian Gumeng, but looked at Ye Xiyuan, "If that's the case, you should have said it earlier!" ”

Ye Xiyuan secretly scolded Qian Gumeng in her heart, and said that she was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and then hurriedly said, "It's already my honor to be here at night, and I don't need any gifts." ”

This Qian Gumeng is really stupid to say this. Although she wanted to let Qian Gumeng be a gun, she didn't say such stupid things like now. Saying such things in public, isn't it saying that her banquet is just to receive gifts? What will the others think of her!

Qian Gumeng didn't realize his problem at all, and still shouted at Ye Leng'an, "Ye Leng'an, don't misinterpret what I mean." I was just saying you-"

Ye Leng'an retracted the smile on his face, his expression was cold, he looked at Qian Gumeng, and said mercilessly, "The master hasn't opened his mouth yet, don't bark at your dog,"

Hearing such words, Qian Gumeng immediately exploded, she stepped forward to fight with Ye Leng'an, but she was stopped.

Ye Xiyuan grabbed Qian Gumeng, who was about to lose his mind, and said, "Classmate Ye, please don't talk nonsense. Gu Meng and I are good friends, and she is like this now, just to help me speak. You don't have to use such words to attack her personally. ”

said righteous and stern words, but in her heart she was spitting on Qian Gumeng. The reason why she held Qian Gumeng was not because of any sisterhood, but because she didn't want Qian Gumeng to ruin her birthday party.

After hearing such words, Qian Gumeng looked at Ye Xiyuan with a touched face.

"Now that you're here, let's have fun." Ye Li stepped forward and looked at Ye Leng'an without a smile on his face, "Don't make trouble here." ”

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many guests here now, he really wanted people to drive Ye Leng'an out.

"If Mr. Ye is not welcome, then I can leave now." Ye Leng'an said indifferently, "After all, someone personally invited me to come over. Now that I've been here, it can be regarded as a face-saving thing! ”

After speaking, Ye Leng'an turned around and planned to leave.

"Night classmate, since you're here, at least finish the cake and leave!" Afraid that Ye Leng'an would leave like this, Ye Xiyuan hurriedly said, "If you leave at this time, it will be our host's inadequate hospitality." ”

After speaking, Ye Xiyuan cast a pleading look in Ye Li's direction.

Ye Li turned his head and said nothing more.

Since Ye Xiyuan retained, Ye Leng'an also stayed. After all, the drama that Ye Xiyuan arranged for her has not yet been staged! And, most importantly, the big gift she wants to give Ye Xiyuan hasn't been given yet!

Thinking of this, Ye Leng'an glanced at Pang Tingting, and then raised a meaningful smile.

At this moment, although Pang Tingting was talking to Chen Wanqin, she always paid attention to Ye Leng'an. I don't know why, she always feels very uneasy when she sees the cold night. Especially when she saw the other party's smile, she only felt a creep, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Tingting, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Pang Tingting's somewhat distracted appearance, Chen Wanqin pushed the other party, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Nothing." Pang Tingting hurriedly retracted her gaze, and then said casually, "By the way, Wanqin, who was the girl in the red dress just now?" How do I feel, after she appeared, you all seemed to have some-"

Chen Wanqin sighed, and then slowly spoke, "Tingting, in fact, that is the child who hugged the wrong child with Xiyuan back then-Ye Leng'an." ”

"What?" Pang Tingting exclaimed, and then she found that her reaction seemed to be a little big, so she quickly calmed down her mood, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It turned out to be that girl!" It's really good-looking. It's just that on a day like today, why would you invite her over? Wouldn't it be embarrassing? ”

It turns out that this is the girl who was randomly selected by her to drop the bag! But does this girl know anything? Otherwise, how could he look at her like this?

But when she thought about it, she thought it was impossible. It was a baby! Moreover, it is impossible to find out what happened at the beginning now. And, if you really talk about it, she can be regarded as the benefactor of that girl! If it wasn't for her, how could that girl have the opportunity to grow up in a wealthy family, and how could she have enjoyed the life of a wealthy family for so many years!

"Actually, I don't want to invite her over," Chen Wanqin smiled helplessly and said, "It was Xiyuan's idea to invite her over." And that's what she told us today. Even if we want to object, it's too late. ”

"Hee Won?" Pang Tingting couldn't help frowning, and was even more puzzled, "How could she have such an idea?" ”

"Hee Won is a very kind girl." Chen Wanqin opened her mouth to explain, "She wants to take this opportunity to reconcile with Ye Leng'an. She did all this to make our family harmonious and happy. It's just that Leng An was so ignorant that night. I actually wanted to make trouble just now. ”

Sure enough, just now I should have found a way to stop Ye Leng'an from coming over to make trouble. She didn't think that Ye Leng'an would really come to this dinner party. She always felt that Ye Leng'an just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.

Pang Tingting's smile was a little reluctant, "That Xiyuan is really a kind child!" ”

Although she said this, she was very disdainful in her heart. Moreover, she didn't think that Ye Xiyuan invited Ye Leng'an to come over because of her kindness. Knowing that the other party would be embarrassed, but still calling the other party over, how could this be kindness!

The Ye family is because Ye Xiyuan is their family, so when they watch Ye Xiyuan's behavior, they automatically wear filters. But as a bystander, she can see it clearly. Ye Xiyuan was cold and peaceful at night, and she was definitely not at ease. As for why she called Ye Leng'an over, there must be other reasons.

On the other side, Ye Xiyuan was also appeasing Nangong Xuyao.

"Brother Nangong, what happened just now really made you laugh." Ye Xiyuan looked at Nangong Xuyao, a trace of melancholy flashed in her eyes, "I invited my sister over, I just wanted to reconcile with her." Unexpectedly, such a joke was made. ”

"This has nothing to do with you." Nangong Xuyao opened his mouth to comfort, "Your idea is good, but if people don't appreciate it, there is a way." In the future, you should keep your distance from that night Leng An! It's good for any of you. ”

"Hmm." Ye Xiyuan nodded obediently.

The banquet hall is bustling with waiters. The men were gathered in piles and talking about business. And the ladies will also get together and discuss all kinds of new clothes, bags, or jewelry. Even, the classmates from St. Ann's High School who Ye Xiyuan invited over also got together to say this.

Only the night is cold, and it seems that he can't fit into it at all. Everyone was isolating her, consciously or unconsciously, and even when she came over, they would deliberately avoid her.

If you are an ordinary person, you may feel very uncomfortable when facing such a target. But Ye Leng'an is completely different. She didn't pay attention to such a little trick at all. Also, she doesn't like people squeaking in her ear. So, after picking up the plate and sandwiching some food, I found a corner seat, put the bag aside, and started eating.

During this time, she also looked at the watch on her wrist from time to time.

In the middle of the banquet, a waiter walked in with a three-story cake with a delicate shape. Obviously, this is the time to cut the cake.

For these, Ye Leng'an is not interested in it at all. However, I didn't expect that Ye Xiyuan would come over and invite her to cut the cake together.

After thinking about it, she agreed.

She didn't know what Ye Xiyuan's heart was, but since the other party came to ask her to cut the cake at this time, things must not be so simple.

Thinking about it with her toes, she knew that Ye Xiyuan must want to take advantage of this opportunity and do something to her! She is such an empathetic person, how could she not give Ye Xiyuan this opportunity!

It's just that at the end of this matter, whether it can be as Ye Xiyuan wishes, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

Soon, the lights in the entire banquet hall went out, leaving only the faint candlelight on the cake.

Everyone sang the birthday song, Ye Xiyuan closed her eyes and began to make a wish.

Soon, after making a wish, Ye Xiyuan opened her eyes and blew out the candle. Then, the lights in the banquet hall came back on.

At this moment, a panicked voice sounded.

"Necklace! Where's my necklace? My necklace is gone! ”
