Chapter 183 I thought it was a marriage proposal
Pei Muye had only eyes for her, and walked towards her without looking to the side.
Qu Jianhang asked Lin Xiyin curiously, "What is he holding in his hand?"
Didn't you bring a gift when you came?
Lin Xiyin didn't know either, but looking at the shape of the box, she had a guess in her mind, but she wasn't sure.
She shook her head.
Qu Jianhang said, "Is this another gift for you?"
Before Lin Xiyin could speak, Pei Muye was already standing in front of them.
Almost everyone's attention was focused on this spot.
Pei Muye suddenly squatted down.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
His posture, if you didn't know better, would make you think he was proposing marriage.
But in that instant, Lin Xiyin knew that it wasn't true.
Sure enough, under everyone's watchful eyes, Pei Muyi placed the box on the ground and then opened it.
Then, he grabbed Lin Xiyin's ankle.
Lin Xiyin looked down at him.
Pei Muye looked up and said, "Lift your leg."
She stood firmly, making it difficult for him to move.
Lin Xiyin released her grip, and Pei Muye easily lifted her calves.
Then, with his large hand, he took off her high heels.
Those around gasped.
Who is Pei Muye?
He stands at the top of the pyramid, his wealth enough to look down upon everyone else.
He was a high-ranking, noble person, the kind of person who commanded respect and admiration.
But today, he knelt on one knee and personally took off Lin Xiyin's high heels.
Then, she put the flat shoes from the box next to her on Lin Xiyin.
Next was the other foot.
Everyone around, including the house, seemed to have been muted.
Not a sound was made.
Even Qu Jianhang was surprised by Pei Muye's actions.
For a man to go to such lengths for a woman, especially one of Pei Muye's status, is truly remarkable.
To be honest, she was somewhat shocked.
Pei Muye, this man...
She'll observe further.
The expressions on the faces of the others were nothing but shock and surprise.
Only Qu Lianyi and Ming Qingwan could not hide their jealousy and resentment.
Lin Xiyin had no idea what the others were thinking, but she was also filled with shock.
There was also embarrassment.
In front of so many people, how could Pei Muyi... do such a thing?
It was one thing to do that in the lounge, but how could he do that in front of so many people...?
Doesn't he feel ashamed of doing such a thing?
Lin Xiyin tried to stop it, but it was too late.
And at that moment, she had no idea what to say.
Qu Jianhang only came to her senses after Pei Muye put away her high heels and stood up.
She asked Lin Xiyin, "Are you feeling unwell? Are your feet rubbing?"
Before Lin Xiyin could speak, Pei Muye said, "She hasn't worn high heels much, so she's not used to them. President Qu, I'll prepare shoes for her if she needs them for future occasions like this."
If Pei Muyi hadn't just knelt down to change his daughter's shoes, Qu Jianhang wouldn't have wanted to talk to him at all.
Is the Qu family short of money to buy shoes, and you need to prepare them for them?
Originally, the most eye-catching person at this banquet was Lin Xiyin.
That's good, now there's one more.
Qu Jianhang, wanting to avoid the trouble, waved his hand and said, "Take Ruan Ruan to rest for a while."
As soon as the two left, a lot of people gathered around to ask what had happened.
After all, these families all have sons and are hoping to become in-laws with Qu Jianhang.
Qu Jianhang could only tell the truth, saying that Pei Muye was his daughter's suitor.
To be honest, Lin Xiyin had only just been recognized by Qu Jianhang.
Pei Muyi would never do such a thing to a woman he had only been pursuing for a few days.
So, did Pei Muye start pursuing Lin Xiyin before he even acknowledged her as his daughter?
If Lin Xiyin is Qu Jianhang's daughter, she deserves any outstanding man.
But if she weren't, just her family background and social standing would put her at a disadvantage compared to others.
It's quite surprising that Pei Muyi would go to such lengths for her.
At this gathering of prominent families, Pei Muyi made that move in front of everyone, and now everyone knows who the woman he admires is.
Even if others were interested in Lin Xiyin, they wouldn't dare to do it now.
Qu Jianhang felt that Pei Muye's move was a brilliant one, killing multiple birds with one stone.
My silly daughter must be so touched.
The banquet tonight was a great success, and Lin Xiyin became known to everyone.
Pei Muye's incident also made more people realize that the Qu family was indeed not to be trifled with.
If the Pei family were to join forces with the Qu family in the future, wouldn't they be even more invincible?
After the banquet ended, Pei Muye left.
Qu Jianhang knew that Lin Xiyin must be exhausted from attending such a banquet as the host for the first time.
She personally took her daughter back to the bedroom, looked at her wound, and felt extremely distressed.
She disinfected her wound and made her lie in bed.
She wanted to talk to Lin Xiyin about Pei Muye.
Lin Xiyin said, "Mom, you've worked so hard today, you should go home and rest too."
"Mommy isn't tired, Mommy is very happy." Qu Jianhang stroked her hair: "Ruanruan, Pei Muyi came today, what are your thoughts?"
"I didn't expect him either..."
"It's Mom's fault. Mom isn't as thoughtful and considerate as him. He didn't think you might get hurt."
"Mom, I'm okay."
"Mom will know later," Qu Jianhang said. "To be honest, Mom was quite touched by what Pei Muyi did today. Although Mom doesn't know what you're thinking, he did it because he genuinely cares about you and loves you. Also, Mom wants to remind you that what he did was also a way of asserting his dominance."
Lin Xiyin looked at her without saying anything.
Qu Jianhang said, "You are now my daughter. Just because of this identity, many people will probably try to curry favor with you. Pei Muye likes you, so naturally he doesn't want to see such a scene."
Lin Xiyin nodded: "Mom, I understand."
“A man like Pei Muyi, handsome, rich, romantic and passionate, can indeed easily make girls' hearts flutter. But Ruanruan, Mom wants to tell you that since you two broke up before, there must have been a reason. If you decide to get back together, you must think it over carefully.”
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Mom, I will."
Qu Jianhang couldn't help but hug her again: "Mom is so happy today."
"I'm very happy too."
Qu Jianhang felt both heartache and joy.
She had someone investigate Lin Yiming and his wife, and learned more about their family.
Thinking about how Lin Xiyin grew up in such a biased and loveless family, she felt sorry for her.
Back in her room, she found that Yan Chengyu had sent her a message.
Ask her how the banquet was, and if she was tired.
Looking at the time, unsure if he was taking a lunch break, Qu Jianhang didn't dare call or send a message.
I was thinking of contacting him again in the afternoon.
Qu Jianhang was indeed tired. He took a nap and when he woke up, it was already past three o'clock.
She picked up her phone and saw that Yan Chengyu had sent her a message around 2 a.m.
He said: I'm back. Are you free tonight?
Qu Jianhang raised an eyebrow, sat up, and called him.
"Baby?"
"What are you yelling about?" Qu Jianhang said sternly. "If you keep yelling like that, we're not going to meet again."
Yan Chengyu smiled and said, "What, can't I even call my lover by a pet name?"
"How old are you? Isn't it cheesy?" Qu Jianhang said, "I already have a grandson. Hearing you call me that gives me goosebumps."
Yan Chengyu said, "Then... I'll just moan in bed?"
Qu Jianhang, enraged and embarrassed, shouted: "Get out!"
Yan Chengyu smiled and continued, "Are you free tonight?"
"Hmm," Qu Jianhang replied lazily, "What time will you finish your work?"
"Around seven o'clock," Yan Chengyu said. "I'll come to your place after I finish my work, and I'll have someone bring the food over."
"Okay," Qu Jianhang said. "Don't worry about the food, I'll take care of it."
"good."
The two hadn't seen each other for almost a week, and Qu Jianhang really wanted to see him.
She got up, went downstairs, and found that Lin Xiyin was still asleep.
The little ones are all awake.
Because he and Lin Xiyin were going back to their original home on Monday, the elderly couple were reluctant to let him go and held him tightly.
"Dad, Mom, don't give him so many snacks." Qu Jianhang sat down on the sofa; "Yoyo, come to Grandma's."
Lin Youxing, with his short legs, came running over: "Grandma!"
Qu Jianhang's heart melted: "Our Youyou is so good. Is Mommy still sleeping?"
“Mommy is a little pig,” Lin Youxing said. “She’s sleeping soundly.”
One sentence made the elderly people in the family laugh uncontrollably.
The youngest member of the family is Qu Jingyou.
It's been many years since we've had such a lively atmosphere without children.
Lin Xiyin may come back to stay occasionally in the future, but it is impossible for her to stay here for a long time.
So the family put Qu Chongyou's marriage-urging plan back on the agenda.
Qu Chongyou was so annoyed that he didn't even want to come back to live there anymore.
Around 5 p.m., Qu Jianhang returned to his place.
She ordered food from her usual restaurant, and it was almost seven o'clock when it arrived.
Looking at the time, she lazily curled up on the sofa and checked the emails on her phone.
Less than ten minutes later, there was movement from the entrance hall.
Yan Chengyu entered the password and came in with a big smile on his face.
Not long ago, he finally found out the password to the security lock in Qu Jianhang's house.
Regardless, this is a huge step forward.
Qu Jianhang lay on the sofa and looked at him: "You're back?"
Yan Chengyu seemed to have lost some weight, making him appear even more dignified and solemn.
However, he always smiled in front of Qu Jianhang.
Qu Jianhang had never seen that kind of imposing demeanor before.
"You're back." Yan Chengyu strode over, placed his hands on the sofa, and leaned down to kiss her. "Did you miss me?"
"You're an official who cares about people's livelihoods, and you're already this old, can't you stop thinking about these things every day?"
Yan Chengyu said, "I'm already this old, can't I even have a relationship? I didn't have time for it when I was young, but now that I'm old, if I don't date now, I'll be buried soon. I don't want to have any regrets before I die."
"You mean you can just talk to anyone you find?"
"If that were really the case, I wouldn't have pursued you for so many years." Yan Chengyu said, "President Qu, please have pity on me, okay?"
Qu Jianhang finally smiled: "Hurry up and wash your hands, let's eat first."
"Okay." Yan Chengyu stood up: "Could you help me find some clothes?"
