An Ci folded the receipt and put it in his pocket in front of Daniel, smiling calmly, "It's okay, I'm not ashamed to lose to Dad."
Seeing that she started to grab the bamboo shoots again, Eric couldn't help but laugh out loud and silently sympathized with Daniel for a second.
Don't be fooled by his cousin's harmless appearance. He is really irritating.
Daniel was humiliated by a child in public, and he was angry and annoyed, glaring at An Ci.
I wanted to drag her to a deserted place and beat her up.
Eric came over, returned the coat to An Ci, and said with a smile, "Stop joking and leave quickly, or Grandpa will send someone to look for you."
Anyway, the game was won, so there was no need to create unnecessary trouble. After all, today was Mr. Cui's birthday party, and fighting was not a good idea.
An Ci took the coat and put it on her arm. It was a very ordinary action, but when she did it, she looked casual and beautiful.
She said, "Don't worry, someone will fulfill the bet for you."
Daniel was stunned, and he had an inexplicable ominous premonition in his heart, "What do you mean?"
An Ci smiled, turned around and left without any explanation.
Eric and Dali followed.
There was no more show to watch, and the onlookers dispersed one after another. Before leaving, they cast sympathetic glances at Daniel intentionally or unintentionally.
Daniel was extremely frustrated and turned to look at the girl beside him, "Mingzhu, I..."
Cui Mingzhu interrupted him with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "A real man should keep his word. Don't lose the game and lose your composure."
Daniel became even more angry when he realized that she was speaking for An Ci. For whom did he agree to make a bet with An Ci, and now she was standing on An Ci's side and speaking for her.
Without any intention of comforting him, Cui Mingzhu turned around and left after she finished speaking.
Daniel stood there, watching her walk away, his teeth almost broken with anger.
If it weren't for the fact that she was Cui Ming's daughter, he wouldn't have bothered to try so hard to please her.
"Daniel, let's go back to the banquet hall first." The boy standing next to Daniel patted his shoulder.
Daniel said coldly, "Please help me find out which branch of the An family this An Ci belongs to."
…
The other side.
Back in the banquet hall, An Ci saw An Zhenxiong chatting with several people from a distance.
Among them were the Cui family.
In such occasions, the conversation was nothing more than formalities. She looked away with a lack of interest, turned around and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Eric learned his lesson this time and quickly grabbed her. "Where do you want to run to?"
An Ci said, "I'm thirsty, let me find something to drink."
As he finished speaking, a waiter walked past with a tray in his hand with several glasses of wine and drinks on it.
Eric called out to the other person.
Then he looked at An Ci and said, "Hurry up and get whatever you want to drink."
An Ci had no choice but to reach out and grab a glass of juice, but the next second he was caught by An Zhenxiong's gaze.
"Xiao Ci, Eric, you two come here."
After she finished speaking, several eyes turned towards her.
Well, now I can’t escape even if I want to.
An Ci took the juice and slowly followed Eric.
"Master An, who is this?" someone asked.
Tonight, after An Ci and An Zhenxiong boarded the cruise ship, they acted alone. They even entered the banquet hall one after the other. Naturally, no one knew the relationship between An Ci and An Zhenxiong.
An Zhenxiong looked at An Ci who walked up to him, and a rare smile appeared on his face. "This is my little grandson, An Ci."
Except for Mr. Cui and Cui Ming who knew the situation, everyone else looked surprised.
My little grandson, isn’t that the young master of the An family?
Now, everyone looked at An Ci with more scrutiny, curious about what was so special about the heir chosen by An Zhenxiong.
Under the gazes of the big guys, An Ci remained calm and gave them a simple and harmless smile.
That obedient look is extremely deceptive. No one can say a bad word about such a face.
The big guys suddenly felt a little envious of the An family's excellent genes. They also had children, so why did their children look so delicate and good-looking?
"It seems that Mr. Cui has a lot of face, and the head of the An family is finally willing to bring his young master out." Someone joked.
An Zhenxiong smiled faintly. Mr. Cui glanced at An Ci and smiled gently, "Brother An, your little grandson is so handsome. When he grows up, he will definitely be a rare talent. I wonder how many girls he will charm."
An Ci was thinking about how to make Ryan fulfill the bet later, and was absent-mindedly listening to their conversation. She never thought that Mr. Cui's next words almost shocked her to death.
"I wonder if the young master is engaged?"
In their circle, arranged marriages are very common. For example, some people are betrothed to each other while still in their mother's womb, and then get engaged and married after they reach adulthood.
Mr. Cui's words were shocking. Not only An Zhenxiong was stunned, but the others were also stunned. They thought: Mr. Cui is too impatient. The young master just showed up and he has already set his sights on him.
You have to know that An Ci is the future heir of the An family. Whoever can marry him will be the future Mrs. An. Putting aside other things, just the title of Mrs. An is coveted by countless people, both openly and secretly.
An Ci didn't expect Mr. Cui to bring up this topic. She blinked, a little speechless.
No, how old is she? Why are they suddenly talking about marriage?
She looked at An Zhenxiong for help, fearing that he would sell her out in a moment of hasty words.
An Zhenxiong laughed, "My little Ci is only twelve years old, there's no rush for this kind of thing."
"Besides, don't be fooled by the fact that this kid looks well behaved on the surface. He's actually very naughty. He loves playing and doesn't like studying. He makes me worry a lot."
The others just smiled and said that their own children were the same.
"Children of this age are bound to be playful," Cui Ming said. "My daughter Mingzhu is the same. She often runs after her brothers."
As soon as he finished speaking, a charming voice sounded behind him.
"Dad, what did you say to me?"
Cui Ming turned his head and saw his little daughter. His smile deepened and he waved at her, "Mingzhu, come here."
Cui Mingzhu walked up to him with her skirt lifted, greeted everyone gracefully, and then her eyes involuntarily drifted towards An Ci.
"They said you were playful, like a boy." Cui Ming's tone softened noticeably when facing his daughter.
Cui Mingzhu pouted and whispered, "I don't have any."
For fear of giving An Ci the impression of a tomboy, Cui Mingzhu frequently looked at An Ci.
Eric noticed it carefully, nudged An Ci's elbow, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Your romantic luck is about to begin."
An Ci resisted the urge to roll his eyes at him and lowered his voice, "Get lost."
