Chapter 358: Betrothal Period
Ye Ningbai raised his head in astonishment, and looked at An Yaosi's smiling eyes. He smiled and held Ye Ningbai's hand, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "I will be embarrassed if you keep staring at me like this." β
Due to the extreme proximity, An Yaosi's shallow snort sprayed on Ye Ningbai's earlobe. From an outsider's point of view, this posture is really ambiguous. The flash kept taking pictures, and the eyes of the people around her were burning as if they could see through her.
Ye Ningbai is not used to such close contact, and he doesn't like to stand in the center and think that the monkeys in the zoo are being watched and pointed at. She took two steps back to dodge, but Anyaos had already seen through her thoughts, and grabbed her waist tightly before her.
"Don't move," An Yaosi reminded Ye Ningbai softly, a finger picking up her chin, half-narrowing her beautiful eyes, "Gong Qi is looking at you." β
Ye Ningbai was shocked in his heart, and sure enough, he turned his head and looked at Shanggong Qi's deep eyes. He stared at her with frowning eyebrows, although it was just a look, but his hand was still around Ding Ning's waist, and he leaned down to listen to Ding Ning's slightly blushing face very gentlemanly.
Ding Ning's afterglow also caught a glimpse of Ye Ningbai looking at her, the corners of her lips hooked, and she stood on tiptoe closer to Gong Qi's eyes. Gong Qi frowned slightly, and was about to retreat, but Ding Ning's words came from his ears: "I have a senior, his father is an expert in this field, and he has a high reputation and honor in the United States...... Maybe it will cure your grandfather's illness. β
Gong Qi retreated, and this meal just gave Ding Ning a chance, and his lips rubbed against Gong Qi's cheek. From Ye Ningbai's point of view, he looks like a pair of lovers who are in love, skillfully and affectionately showing affection in public.
By the time Gong Qi reacted, Ding Ning had already kissed him, and the speed was extremely fast, but it was just a dragonfly. Ding Ning covered her lips in embarrassment and blushed, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to stop ...... suddenly"
"Thank you." Ye Ningbai, who had been paying attention to Gong Qiyu and Ding Ning's every move, suppressed the bitterness that inexplicably surfaced in his heart, and whispered to An Yaosi to thank him.
She refused to admit defeat in front of Gong Qiyi, and angrily grabbed An Yaosi's arm and deliberately showed it to Gong Qi, Gong Qiyan's face became darker, but she didn't do anything, but looked away and no longer looked at Ye Ningbai.
Gong Qi's approach made Ye Ningbai very puzzled. She stared at the slender figure, she obviously had a fiancΓ©e by her side, why did she provoke her? Eating the bowl and looking at the pot, maybe what Gong Qiyu said to herself was just sweet words to deceive her.
But why is it so uncomfortable?
Throughout the banquet, Ye Ningbai's eyes were staring at Gong Qi, and he never left him for half a minute, but Gong Qiyan never gave her a look. Everyone's eyes focused on Gong Qi and Ding Ning, but the two looked so damn matched.
An Yaosi looked at Ye Ningbai in his arms and smiled dumbly.
Obviously, Ye Ningbai was his female companion, but Ye Ningbai never gave him a look. It's not that An Yaosi doesn't know Ye Ningbai's thoughts, and the person she likes is not herself, but it is enough for her to be by her side.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of An Yaosi who was smiling gently, and Gong Qi was so jealous that he was going crazy. That bright smile stung his eyes, how he wished that it was himself who was standing next to Ye Ningbai. However, he couldn't get out at all now, and he couldn't rush up and beat An Yaosi, who was holding his woman.
"Painful ......," Ding Ning called softly, "Brother, you hurt me." β
The soft and glutinous voice pulled Gong Qi's gaze back. He looked down at Ding Ning snuggled in his arms with tears shining with grievances, a pair of watery eyes full of affection, seven points coquettish and three points shyly looking at him.
It turned out that he didn't notice that his hand was still on Ding Ning's waist, and his subordinates who were crazy with jealousy just now didn't feel that their strength had increased.
Nephrite was in her arms, but Gong Qi didn't have the desire to pity the jade, and looked at her eyes even more irritated and irritable. The pair of deer eyes that Ye Ningbai suddenly appeared in front of him, clean and clear, without the slightest cheesiness of rouge and gouache.
Damn, how did you remember that woman again!
Gong Qi's mood was unpredictable, and Ding Ning knew that it was inseparable from Ye Ningbai. His gaze couldn't help but fall on Ye Ningbai, who was not far away, and the depths of his originally pitiful eyes were dyed with a little coldness.
His gaze swept over one of the reporters below and gave him a look. The reporter understood, and after a while he rushed to the front.
"Miss Ding, there are rumors that you and Gong Shao are about to get married, is this true?"
Suddenly asked such a sensitive and explosive question, this question instantly pushed the whole interview to a climax. The reporters were like chickens, and even moved forward under their feet, for fear of accidentally missing any wonderful content.
This "sudden" question made Ding Ning stunned. She blushed, lowered her head and pretended to be shy, and nodded with the pride and joy in her eyes hidden by her drooping hair, "Indeed, the news of my marriage to Ah Yu is true. And ......"
She deliberately paused, causing the reporters to hold their breath for a while, very eager to know the news that Ding Ning was going to announce next.
"And, the wedding will take place two weeks from now." Ding Ningming's flickering happy smile stung Ye Ningbai's eyes.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Ding Ning's gaze seemed to fall on Ye Ningbai's body not far away, and when he saw Ye Ningbai's bloodless face, the smile in his eyes was even worse, "I hope everyone can be there then, Ah Hui and I hope everyone can participate." β
There was a sigh on the field, all of which were blessings and envy for this pair of talented and beautiful people.
Ye Ningbai's brain went blank in an instant, and the words of blessing the newcomer in his ears echoed in his head, buzzing.
Ye Ningbai, whose face was pale, stared at Gong Qibai, waiting for him to deny it. But time passed little by little, and the reporters' words of blessing had been politely finished, and then they asked other questions, and Gong Qiyu didn't speak.
She looked at Gong Qi in disbelief, Gong Qi didn't know what she was thinking, and she couldn't see any emotion.
If you don't say it, it's a tacit acquiescence?
Didn't he say that night that this marriage was just wishful thinking on the part of the Ding family and the heads of the Gong family, didn't he mean it? What about today?
Silently bearing Ye Ningbai's gaze like Ling Chi, Gong Qi's lowered hand clenched into fists.
Originally, he wanted to rush out and loudly deny and tell them that he didn't accept the marriage at all, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw his father standing next to him, and stopped Gong Qi with a warning and almost indifferent look.
He couldn't, and he didn't dare. The palace father stood not far away, staring at his every move, he was afraid that Ye Ningbai would be hurt because of this.
A breath of stuff was held in his heart, he couldn't spit it out or swallow it, and the kind of torture that he had to endure almost drove him crazy.
I don't know which reporter didn't think it was a big deal, recognized Ye Ningbai and said loudly, "Huh? That's not Miss Ye Ning Baiye? β
So all the reporters and the upper-level people present focused their eyes on Ye Ningbai.
The feeling that seemed to see through her came again, but this time it was different, she could feel the gossip and curiosity from the media and the upper class, and the schadenfreude of watching the excitement.
This time, Ye Ningbai was even more cramped and uneasy, her palms were sweaty, and she wanted to escape from here eagerly, but her wrist was tightly held by An Yaosi, "Don't be afraid." He said, "I'm here." β
With An Yaosi here, they really can't do anything about her, and An Yaosi does have the ability to shut up reporters and not report.
But not saying it doesn't mean that you don't want to, and the curiosity that is forcibly suppressed will ferment and expand faster.
Ye Ningbai didn't want to make things too big, but those reporters refused to let her go easily.
"Miss Ye, have you become Young Master An's female companion, have you reconciled with Young Master An?"
"Miss Ye, then you and the young master of the palace family, who abandoned whom? Are you the one who abandoned Young Master Gong, or was you abandoned? β
The chatter of questions followed one after another, and each sentence became sharper than the other. Ye Ningbai was a little at a loss, obviously it was a very respectful word, but it was as sharp and terrifying as a needle when it came out of the reporter's mouth, and every time she asked, it pierced her heart.
Some people whispered that Ye Ningbai was stepping on two boats and was entangled with two people. So someone immediately chimed in, and insinuated that Ye Ningbai made a good way to play Gong Qi and An Yaosi in the palm of his hand. The voice was not loud, but it also clearly reached the ears of Ye Ningbai and An Yaosi.
An Yaosi's face changed, his eyes lit up, and the two celebrities with broken mouths were red and didn't dare to say anything more. He instructed the secretary to immediately ask the reporters to change the topic, but the group of reporters didn't know why, and they were not afraid of the coercion and temptation of An Yaosi's people, but instead rushed forward to ask Ye Ningbai.
With the reporter's fire, rumors spread for a while, and the words of unabashed speculation kept drilling into Ye Ningbai's ears. In a panic, Ye Ningbai raised his head and coldly crashed into Gong Qi's eyes. But he still didn't say a word, Ding Ning in his arms looked at Ye Ningbai, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile.
Dysphoria!
The voices of the chaotic reporters were mixed with Anyaos's disapproving rebukes, constantly colliding in his brain. Ye Ningbai finally couldn't help it, pushed An Yaosi away violently, and ran out.
An Yaosi didn't even think about it, and threw down the entangled reporter to follow Ye Ningbai.
Gong Qi's body was uncontrollable, and when he saw Ye Ningbai rushing out, he had to follow, but he was pulled by Ding Ning.
"Brother Gong," Ding Ning hugged Gong Qi's arm tightly, "If you chase after you, what will happen to Uncle Gong's illness?" β
The innocent eyes made Gong Qi even more annoyed in his heart. He looked at Ding Ning coldly and slowly pulled out his arm.
"You threaten me?"
