Standing next to Zhou Yixing was a woman in a black dress, with big, wavy hair and red lips—the kind of woman who was flamboyant and beautiful.
The woman glanced at Su Nuo sitting not far away, her eyes filled with provocation. Su Nuo met her gaze calmly, unconcerned, as if silently mocking her.
Zhou Yixing didn't even glance at her, directly refusing her. He fiddled with the cup in his hand, his eyes constantly glancing at Su Nuo sitting in the corner.
Su Nuo knew that woman, but these things had nothing to do with her.
Today, Su Nuo and Tang Shuyu agreed to both wear blue. Su Nuo wore a hazy blue dress, made of silk, which was smooth and lustrous, making her look very aloof and giving off a feeling of unapproachability.
Zhou Yixing's mind was filled with her words: "Next time you get married, find someone willing to hold a wedding; next time you get married, find someone who can hold a wedding..."
Tang Shuyu chose a glacier blue sequined dress with a back tie, which was both playful and sexy, giving her a perfect look with a tiny waist.
The two of them sitting together looked like sisters.
When Cheng Xingran returned, she saw the group of people sitting there idly. She casually took a glass of wine from the waiter and sat down next to Ling Zhiyi.
"Are they all here getting their fortunes told? Or drinking and chatting?"
"We can't have a proper conversation without you."
Tang Shuyu winked at her
"Do I still have that kind of charm?"
"I said, is it appropriate for you to flirt with my girlfriend in front of me?"
"suitable"
As they were talking, Qin Zifu came out.
This time, Qin Zifu changed into a red cheongsam, a traditional style that made her waist look slim and her legs look long. The slits on both sides, which partially concealed her figure as she walked, exuded mystery and sexiness, while also showcasing the demureness of a traditional Chinese beauty.
Qi Jingchen walked beside her, his large hand resting on her waist, making her waist appear incredibly slender. The two received everyone's blessings and praise.
Afterwards, Yan Li introduced her to some ladies and wives, her words full of liking and satisfaction for Qin Zifu.
"Fufu, go and rest for a while, go find your friends."
Yan Li felt a pang of sympathy seeing how busy Qin Zifu had been all day.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go find them now."
"Go on, remember to eat something."
Then Yan Li was called back again.
"Fufu, come sit down, I got you a little cake."
"Thank you, I'm so hungry."
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, the wedding will be even more tiring than this, right?"
"I think so, so it's not unreasonable for me to have a slight fear of marriage, is it?"
"Pfft, if Qi Jingchen knew you were afraid of marriage because of this, he'd probably cry himself to death in the bathroom."
Ling Zhiyi silently lit a candle for his brother.
"By the way, where's my brother?"
"Which brother of yours?"
I don't usually call Gu Dining "brother".
"Gu Di'an is busy, greeting the guests from the Gu family."
Qin Zifu's father was not in a position to show his face in places with many businessmen, so the Gu family arranged all these matters for Gu Di'an. Gu Zhengji had just rested for a while before leaving.
Qin Zifu saw Bai Jin and Gu Dining not far away, with a girl beside them.
"Look at them, they're both brothers, why is there such a big difference? Gu Di'an is so busy he's practically running around, while Gu Di'ning acts like someone owes him money."
"You really don't hold back when you're criticizing."
"Let's not talk about anything else, just ask if you could put on a nicer expression. I'll go check on you."
Because of Gu Dining's profession, he was not in a crowded place, but in a corner.
"Gu Dining, Xiaobaizi"
"Little ancestor, don't call me Little Bai. With so many people here, how many of my fans must there be?"
"Aren't you overthinking it? I'm not really looking at you much."
"Is this my brother's friend?"
"Miss Qin, congratulations on your engagement! I'm Bai Yingdi's date, my name is Xu Yuan."
"Thank you, welcome! I thought you were a friend brought by my brother, but it seems I was mistaken."
The girl's eyes were practically glued to Gu Dining; it turned out that Bai Jin had brought him along.
"Gu Dining, can't you look a little more cheerful? I'm getting engaged!"
"Look at Dad's expression, do you think he looks good? Look at your grandpa's expression, do you think he looks good? Who would be happy if their daughter suddenly got married?"
"Didn't you always say you'd better marry me off quickly so you'd have less to worry about? If I got married, you could have all the family's favor."
Gu Dining glared at her.
"Don't stay here, go find your husband, he's watching you."
Qin Zifu was used to Qi Jingchen watching over her at all times. Sometimes he wasn't looking for her or asking her to come over; he was just watching her, no matter what he was busy with.
Qin Zifu followed the gaze and met Qi Jingchen's. Then Qi Jingchen said something to the person next to him, put his wine glass aside, and assumed that Qin Zifu had something to say to him. He walked towards her, and Qin Zifu also got up and walked towards him.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm? Nothing. I just noticed you looking at me, so I looked back at you."
"Miss you"
"Look at this young couple, they won't be apart for a moment. Mrs. Qi is so lucky!"
"Yes, the young couple has a good relationship."
There are too many business marriages in their circle, many of which are devoid of affection. Some of them go well together, while others don't.
Such mutual affection is truly the envy of everyone.
When the proposal went viral, many people thought it was just a publicity stunt. After all, two wealthy families getting married would definitely need to market it well and make a fortune.
"It seems Madam Qi won't be long before she has a grandson. Congratulations in advance!"
"No, no rush. She's not married yet. Our Fufu is still young and should be busy with her career."
"Oh dear, being busy with your career is nothing compared to being a daughter-in-law of the Qi family. If you ask me, the most important thing is to start a family and have children."
"Neither of our families is in a hurry, so you, Madam, don't need to worry. Fufu can have the baby whenever she wants."
Jinzhu happened to walk over and heard this, and she was furious.
"Oh, Mrs. Gu, I apologize for being so talkative. But Mr. Qi is quite generous, giving away jewelry worth hundreds of millions so easily. Miss Gu is truly blessed."
"A few hundred million is nothing. As long as Fufu likes it, we'll buy her a few to rotate."
Yan Li looked down on this sarcastic person who wanted to sow discord. This was a veiled way of telling her whether her daughter-in-law could afford to spend money. If the Qi family couldn't even afford to spend money on her daughter-in-law, then they would be a laughing stock.
Yan Li and Jin Zhu exchanged a glance, their faces full of disdain. What era are we living in? They're still thinking about ancient times.
And to say these things at a banquet hosted by the Gu and Qi families—did they have their brains slammed in a door?
"Ignore that person. She doesn't like her daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law doesn't like her either."
"I see. It seems she's indeed difficult to get along with. This girl needs to be careful when choosing a husband."
However, Qi Jingchen and Qin Zifu did not hear these discussions; the two had already gone to find Zhou Yixing and the others.
"We agreed that once you're done here, you'll be going to Banxing, so we won't be taking the two of you with us."
"Um, we're busy."
Qi Jingchen refused outright; he didn't want to be disturbed.
"Uh, I really don't have time. Don't call them tonight, don't bother them."
"Please do not contact me via QQ, thank you."
Tang Shuyu would never do this again; one experience was enough.
