Chapter 40 Marriage Agreement
As Si Tang hesitated to announce his candidate, He Moheng's composure gradually wore off. The girl on the stage, as bright as the moon, glanced at him with a completely emotionless expression. He had no idea what had gone wrong.
Until she raised her hand and pointed behind him.
He Moheng suppressed the uneasiness and panic in his heart, and subconsciously looked back along with everyone's gaze.
Two distinguished-looking men stood in the shadows. The one on the right was a handsome young man with cake crumbs on the corners of his mouth. The one on the left was particularly outstanding.
That face was surprisingly handsome, seemingly unreal. His bone structure was perfect and superior, his eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and his black hair and eyes made his skin look as white as jade, and also suppressed the subtle evil in his eyes.
A well-tailored black suit highlights his tall and straight figure. His narrow eyes, which seem to be smiling but not smiling, are bottomless. His temperament is so noble that he seems untainted by worldly affairs, and even has a clean and elegant scholarly air.
But the aura is inexplicably frightening.
He Moheng boasted that he had seen countless people, but he couldn't see through the strange man in front of him.
Si Tang lifted her skirt and gracefully walked down from the platform, approaching the man step by step. Her eyes never left the man's face for a moment, and there was a hint of surprise and amazement in her eyes.
The panic of weightlessness surged in He Moheng's heart like a tide, so when she passed by, He Moheng subconsciously grabbed her wrist.
"Tangtang..." His voice was incredulous and contained a hint of accusation.
Her eyes were slightly red, as if she had been let down and suffered a great injustice.
Fan Yi, who was not far away, had his eyes darkened for a moment, and he wished he could break that hand. Before he could move, Si Tang coldly waved that hand away.
"Mr. He, are we familiar with each other? Please respect yourself."
Her eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger, and her tone was calm and composed.
He Moheng's throat rolled up and down, his eyes suddenly shrank, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Are you kidding, Tangtang..."
Si Tang was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked straight to Fan Yi.
The girl looked at the stunning face, her eyes lingering on his familiar and amazing eyebrows, and her heart beat uncontrollably faster.
She tilted her head slowly and spoke in a firm and gentle voice.
"Sir, will you be engaged to me?"
Fan Yi drooped his eyelashes slightly, looking at the person in front of him whom he had been thinking about day and night for the past three years. His body was tense and he felt that his cold body temperature had risen a few degrees. He suppressed the trembling in his throat and chest, and a smile rose in his dark eyes.
But before he could answer, Si Tang suddenly moved a little closer. Fan Yi's body stiffened even more.
Why is she suddenly so close?
She had never approached him like this before.
Fan Yi's mind suddenly flashed with a love story. He looked at Si Tang's rosy and tender red lips, and a wolf-like burning expectation flashed in his eyes. Then he restrained himself and looked away, for fear of scaring the person in front of him.
Si Tang leaned closer to his ear.
"Help me. If you agree to marry me, I can give you a very handsome reward."
The girl's cold voice fell into his ears, and Fan Yi's expression darkened for a moment, hiding his loss.
Glancing at 8856 who was winking at him, he suppressed the urge to kidnap the girl and lock her up, and tried his best to put on a gentle and harmless smile that he had practiced countless times in front of the mirror.
"I do."
Si Tang looked at the smile on his lips, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster. This feeling had only occurred to her when she first met He Moheng, but she would no longer fall in love at first sight.
Looking at it up close, the face is even more stunning, with flawless whiteness, a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes with a faint blue hue, and hair that is also light ink-colored with a silky luster, casting a very light shadow on the tip of the eyebrows, looking very comfortable to touch.
Moreover, this face was a perfect replica of the silhouette in her dream, even more like He Moheng than the silhouette in her dream. Even Si Tang found this coincidence truly miraculous.
The girl held out her hand to him.
Fan Yi grabbed it.
The temperature of the man's palm was very cold. Si Tang couldn't help but look at him. Why was this man like a piece of ice?
At this time, some people in the crowd who knew the inside story were very dissatisfied, and some stood up for He Moheng.
"What does Miss Si mean? Are you kidding our Mr. He?"
"Didn't they say Miss Si and Young Master He were a couple? They even announced they wanted to have a party two days ago. What's going on?"
"What? Miss Si is actually like this! Young Master He is so miserable! Was he dumped?"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone started to eat melons and gossip.
"Also, which family does this kid belong to? Does anyone know him?" someone suddenly asked curiously.
When this was said, everyone shook their heads and said frankly that they had never seen this person.
At this moment, Si Xi in the crowd took the opportunity to speak up.
"All the guests invited to this banquet are important figures in Kyoto Haicheng, but no one says they have seen this person. Could he have sneaked in?" After saying this, she took a breath in shock, and then felt regretful that Miss Si actually chose an ordinary person.
The person being discussed, Fan Yi, was holding the soft little hand in his palm, his mind wandering for a moment. He didn't even hear what was buzzing in his ears.
"Excuse me, what is this gentleman's name?" Lin Sui walked down and looked at Fan Yi with amazement in his eyes.
Si Tang pinched Fan Yi, who was looking down and distracted, with his palm, and did not notice that the tip of the ear of the person next to him suddenly turned redder.
He regained consciousness and raised his eyes, looking at the newcomer politely and distantly, determining the identity of this person. An important relative to Tangtang.
Then he smiled a distant and gentle smile, "Grandma, my name is Fan Yi."
Si Tang and Lin Sui were both stunned.
Si Tang: This kid is so sensible? He even calls her grandma?
Lin Sui was surprisingly not as disgusted as he had imagined. He nodded with a kind smile and then asked, "Can you tell me what business your family is in? How many households are there in your family?"
Fan Yi readily replied, "My parents passed away early, and I've been living with my younger brother. I'm currently involved in the jewelry business and occasionally collect antiques. I just recently returned from abroad."
Lin Sui nodded and looked at the handsome boy beside him, "Is this your younger brother?"
Why doesn’t it look like that? The old lady muttered to herself.
"Yes, hello, old lady. My name is Xiaoliu." 8856 stepped forward and greeted with a smile. "But Mr. Fan Yi and I are not biological brothers. I was adopted by Mr. Fan Yi."
Si Tang took a look at this overly handsome young man.
She didn't expect that a boy who looked like an idol would have such an abstract and casual name.
"Madam Yun, don't be fooled! This guy just keeps talking nonsense, and who knows if he's telling the truth!" someone in the crowd suddenly said, "At least in Haicheng, I've never heard of such a person, nor have I heard of any jewelry business with the last name Fan!"
"Yeah, I haven't heard of him either. The people who come here have all received invitations, and the threshold is not low. They are all on the rich list. How come I have never heard of this Fan? Did he sneak in from somewhere? I heard that some top stars in high-end nightclubs specifically take advantage of this kind of loopholes to sneak into high-end places and hook up with rich women." The person who said this was the dandy son of the Xie family, the second-ranked family in the imperial capital. He was happy to see Si Tang's temporary replacement, but was very dissatisfied with not being chosen.
