38 Blind Date Crematorium
◎Take her upstairs in full view of everyone◎
Back at the Qin family, life was pretty much the same as before. Most of the time, she was alone with the nanny at home, and everyone else was too busy to be seen.
It was not until her birthday that the whole family finally got together.
Song Shixi was woken up by Aunt Yang early in the morning. It turned out that Zheng Huilan had asked her last night to come in the morning to remind her not to forget to dress up well, because she was the birthday girl today.
After giving Zheng Huilan her instructions, Aunt Yang also gave her a gift and wished her a happy birthday.
This was the first blessing she received today. A smile appeared on Song Shixi's face, and the little emotion of being woken up from her sleep disappeared in an instant. After thanking Aunt Yang with a smile, she began to wash and dress.
Her proposal to refuse a big birthday party was ultimately rejected by Zheng Huilan. For some reason, she was so persistent and even attached great importance to the birthday party held for her.
Not only were the layout of the house and the meals arranged personally by Zheng Huilan, she also prepared an expensive little dress and a pair of high heels for her, which were placed directly at the door of her room.
Song Shixi thought about it and felt that Zheng Huilan might be doing this for the Qin family's reputation. After all, Qin Zhiyi had a grand birthday party not long ago. If she didn't give it to her half-adopted daughter, there would inevitably be people outside gossiping and saying that the Qin family was partial.
Putting her thoughts aside, Song Shixi focused all her attention on her makeup for today. Since Zheng Huilan cared so much about it, she couldn't let her down and bring shame to the Qin family.
Besides, today is her first birthday in this world. After today, she will be twenty years old, and she also wants to spend it happily.
The little dress Zheng Huilan prepared for her was a pearly white slim-fitting long dress with a fishtail design at the hem. When she walked, the two layers of tulle looked like waves hitting the beach, which was particularly dreamy.
The neckline is slightly off-shoulder, revealing the slender neck and collarbone. There is a small bow on the chest, which adds a bit of girlish fun and cuteness.
This dress is obviously worth a lot of money, with fine workmanship and advanced design. She likes it very much.
In order to match this skirt, Song Shixi specially put her hair into clean, unworn socks and wrapped it overnight the day before. Now when she untied it, her hair became fluffy and natural big wavy curls.
In terms of makeup, she chose a bright and gorgeous makeup, which was more grand and atmospheric overall.
After finishing her makeup, she glanced at the time. It was already late, so she quickly changed into high heels of the same color and walked downstairs holding up her skirt. She was so anxious that she didn't notice that the door at the end of the corridor was opened from the inside.
Wearing high heels, she was extremely careful when going down the stairs. When she reached the first floor, she found that many people had already arrived. At a glance, they were all unfamiliar faces.
And why did she feel like they were all gay? The gender ratio was seriously unbalanced.
Song Shixi took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed his doubts, and decided to find Zheng Huilan first.
Just as she was looking for someone, the noisy voices in the field slowly quieted down, and almost everyone's eyes fell on her, with a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes at the same time.
She was stunningly beautiful, with porcelain-white skin and facial features that were beautiful to the point of being aggressive. She grabbed everyone's attention at a single glance, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath for fear of scaring this picturesque beauty. Her waist-length black curly hair matched her plump and moist lips, and her black hair and red lips made her incredibly beautiful.
Especially those charming fox eyes, which are breathtakingly beautiful when they move around.
The white long dress not only does not make her look fat, but also highlights her slim figure and graceful posture. When she walks, her willow-like waist sways, and paired with her perky buttocks and straight long legs, her curves are enchanting, with an indescribable tenderness and charm.
Without any introduction, they all guessed her identity and their minds became active.
Although they had heard that the Qin family had taken a beautiful girl home, most people saw Song Shixi for the first time. To be honest, they didn't think much of her before they came, especially those who knew some of the Qin family's internal affairs, who were even more reluctant to deal with her.
After all, offending the real daughter of the Qin family for the sake of a half-adopted daughter is a loss-making thing.
Everyone knows that today's party is called a birthday party, but it is actually a blind date party in disguise. If it wasn't organized by Mrs. Qin herself, they might not have come.
But after coming here, I feel extremely fortunate.
Looking at the pretty figure, some people couldn't help but move closer, but before they got close, they were intercepted by someone else.
"Happy birthday, Shixi."
Hearing this, Song Shixi turned around and saw Zeng Jingxu wearing a black Zhongshan suit. It was the first time she saw him wearing anything other than a police uniform, and she couldn't help but look at him a few more times. "Thank you, you look good in this."
Zeng Jingxu didn't expect that the first thing she said when she saw him was such straightforward praise. A blush appeared on his cheeks. He didn't know where to put his hands. He said dryly, "Really?"
"Really, I don't lie." Seeing a familiar face among a group of strangers, Song Shixi couldn't help but smile. Her beautiful eyebrows curved into crescent shapes, and her eyes were smart, which made people panic.
Zeng Jingxu felt his face getting even hotter, and he turned his eyes away from her face as if to escape, as if his heart would explode if he stared at her for another second. But he quickly turned his eyes back reluctantly and cleared his throat, "You look very beautiful today!"
Unlike his shyness, Song Shixi responded openly and said with a sincere smile, "Thank you."
Seeing this, Zeng Jingxu unconsciously dug his sleeves with his fingertips. Just as he was about to say something else, a voice interrupted him, "Shixi, you're coming down?"
The two of them looked over and saw Zheng Huilan. She was wearing a dark purple cheongsam today, which made her look elegant and dignified, with a strong aura. Next to her stood a man who looked familiar.
"You look so good in this outfit, why haven't I seen you wear it before?"
When she got closer, Zheng Huilan saw clearly how Song Shixi was dressed today, and her eyes lit up. It's said that clothes make the man, and she was usually pretty enough, but after dressing up so carefully today, she looked even more outstanding and charming.
Hearing her words, the smile on Song Shixi's face froze, and she quickly realized that this dress and shoes were not prepared for her by Zheng Huilan, so who could it be?
"Shixi?"
Zheng Huilan noticed that Song Shixi suddenly lost his mind for some reason, and that people were all around looking at them, so she couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
Song Shixi quickly came to his senses and replied with a forced smile, "I had no occasion to wear it before."
Zheng Huilan just asked casually. Seeing that Song Shixi had returned to normal, she greeted Zeng Jingxu a few times and said, "Thank you for taking care of Shixi. Did this girl cause you any trouble?"
"You're being too kind. Shixi is a very nice person. I'm not causing any trouble at all."
Zeng Jingxu smiled slightly, glancing at the people around him who were eagerly watching him. Thinking of his other purpose for coming here today, he clenched his hands hanging by his legs a little tighter and added, "I just returned to Beijing not long ago, and I'm not used to the food. I also want to thank her for recommending many delicious foods nearby so that I won't go hungry."
Hearing this, Zheng Huilan keenly heard some deep meaning from it. Her eyes swept over Song Shixi and Zeng Jingxu, and she felt that the two of them seemed to be a good match.
And from what he said, the relationship between the two seemed to be quite close.
However, the Zeng family has a good background, and Old Man Zeng is notoriously stubborn. He may not let Song Shixi in. Besides, he doesn't know what Song Shixi thinks, so he has to wait and see.
It's still early, no rush.
So Zheng Huilan pretended not to understand what Zeng Jingxu meant, smiled in agreement, and then changed the subject: "By the way, this is Shuqiang. Jingxu, you probably haven't seen him, but Shixi has seen him before."
As Zheng Huilan finished speaking, Wei Shuqiang, who was standing next to her, couldn't wait to take a step forward, looking at Song Shixi with burning eyes, and shouted happily: "Shixi."
As soon as Song Shixi heard Zheng Huilan's introduction, he remembered who the other person was. When he took a step forward, he quickly took two steps back to increase the distance between them.
Whenever Song Shixi thought about the fact that he was one of the original owner's blind dates, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
Moreover, he had been clearly rejected by the original owner so many times but he still hadn't given up. Last time, he wanted to ask Zheng Huilan out to see a movie, but she rejected him again. I haven't heard from him for a long time. I didn't expect to see him here today.
Seeing his eyes that were almost glued to her, Song Shixi was very sure that his thoughts had not changed!
"Hello, my name is Zeng Jingxu." Zeng Jingxu noticed Song Shixi's discomfort and resistance, and quickly stood in front of her, extending his hand to Wei Shuqiang. The latter was forced to look away, shook his hand, and greeted politely, "My name is Wei Shuqiang."
After introducing himself, Wei Shuqiang wanted to retract his hand and chat with Song Shixi, trying to show himself well in front of her, but he didn't expect that his hand was firmly grasped by the person in front of him. He tried to pull it back, but it was of no avail. Then he realized that the other party did it on purpose, but if he asked him to let go in front of so many people, wouldn't that be actively telling others that he was not as strong as him?
He could not do such a shameful thing, especially in front of his sweetheart!
So Wei Shuqiang could only warn with a forced smile: "Comrade Zeng."
Zeng Jingxu remained unmoved, still holding his hand and standing between him and Song Shixi, "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too." Wei Shuqiang struggled harder, but Zeng Jingxu seemed to feel no pain and remained calm.
"Brother Jingxu, let's go sit on the sofa and talk?" Song Shixi saw that the situation was not right and did not want to cause trouble for Zeng Jingxu in such an occasion, so he took the initiative to speak and end the farce.
"Yes, let's go sit on the sofa and chat. It's so tiring to stand. After we cut the cake, we can eat." Zheng Huilan didn't expect such a tense situation to happen, and hurriedly followed Song Shixi to take over.
When she saw Song Shixi coming down the stairs, Wei Shuqiang happened to come over to greet her, so the two of them came together to find Song Shixi.
"Okay." Zeng Jingxu slowly let go of his hand.
Wei Shuqiang held his hand that was shaking with pain, glared at Zeng Jingxu, and then followed them to the sofa without stopping. He wanted to sit next to Song Shixi, but her left and right sides were occupied by Zheng Huilan and Zeng Jingxu, so he could only settle for sitting next to Zeng Jingxu.
The four of them chatted for a while, and more and more people gathered around the sofa, all coming to greet Zheng Huilan and wish Song Shixi a happy birthday.
In just a few minutes, Song Shixi had no idea how many "brothers" he had met. At the same time, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
Why doesn't this look like a birthday party, but rather a son-in-law selection party?
Listening to Zheng Huilan whispering to her where this person worked, how old that person was, and where he had just graduated from...
Song Shixi's face turned pale for a moment. Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, he looked up and met a pair of crimson black eyes.
The man was tall and slender with outstanding looks. Although he was in a crowd, she still noticed his presence at a glance. He rarely wore white, but he made an exception today. The light-colored blanket reduced his aloof temperament.
His brows were furrowed as sharp as knives, his eyes were filled with devastating emotions, his thin lips were tightly pursed, veins bulged on his slender neck, and his strong and broad chest rose and fell violently, as if he was suppressing some tremendous anger.
Those deep pupils stared at her intently, as if they wanted to eat her alive, dangerous and powerful.
Song Shixi's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously pinched the hem of her white skirt. The soft fabric in her palms made her feel itchy. Her heartbeat and breathing became flustered at the same time, and she lost her original calmness.
Didn't Aunt Yang say Qin Yue wouldn't be back for a month or two? When did he return to Beijing? When did he get home? Was it really just a coincidence that they were wearing matching outfits?
Countless questions connected together in her mind, making her face pale, but she was wearing makeup, so no one could notice anything unusual.
"Ayue, when did you come back?"
"Brother Yue."
"Boss Qin, long time no see."
Soon, not only her, but many people around noticed Qin Yue's presence and stood up.
But Song Shixi's legs seemed to have taken root, and she sat on the sofa unable to move until the tall and straight figure approached quickly, stretched out his big hand, grabbed her arm and lifted her up.
He was very strong and acted suddenly, so she had no time to react. Her high heels made a crisp sound on the floor. She lost her balance and rushed towards him with his force. Her soft chest was instantly sunk into his strong arms.
No, it should be the other way around.
Fortunately, her hair is long and thick, otherwise if it was seen in public...
Song Shixi's ears turned red instantly. She reached out to hold his arm, trying to use the force to push him away, but Qin Yue took the opportunity to hold her hand and let her hold his arm. The slightly ambiguous posture between the two of them instantly turned into a normal arm-in-arm gesture.
"I came back at midnight yesterday." Qin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and seemed to be smiling, but only Song Shixi knew how turbulent the waves were beneath his calm surface.
Her long eyelashes trembled and she wanted to step back, but he grabbed her wrist fiercely and controlled her to his side, not allowing her to escape from him even an inch.
"That……"
Zheng Huilan was about to say something when she was interrupted by Qin Yue, "I brought back a birthday present for Shi Xi from Shenzhen. I'll take her upstairs to have a look first."
After saying that, without waiting for Zheng Huilan's answer, he took her hand and walked towards the stairs step by step. After a while, the two of them disappeared around the corner.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Huilan frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong. She wanted to follow and take a look, but the first floor was full of guests to be entertained, and she couldn't leave at all. She could only suppress her uneasiness temporarily and cheer herself up to maintain a good atmosphere.
Not only her, Zeng Jingxu, who was originally sitting next to Song Shixi, also changed his expression.
