Peng Zihao was slightly surprised, and the surprise on his face was obvious.
"Hahaha, brother, long time no see!" A sudden burst of laughter drowned out the surprised expressions of Mao Qihang and Peng Zihao.
I saw a resolute-looking man standing up from his seat, walking up to Li Hanting first, patting him on the shoulder with a very familiar attitude.
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Hanting's eyes, and then he smiled in relief. His friend patted the man's shoulder and asked, "When did you come back?"
This was a very natural question, although he had known it for a long time.
But knowing... doesn't mean that you can show enthusiasm and excitement, giving them the feeling that you are keeping track of their whereabouts at all times.
This kind of information reveals that one cares.
However, Li Hanting did not want to express his thoughts so clearly and directly.
When thinking of this, Li Hanting's expression did not change on the surface, but he was really amused in his heart that he could be so petty.
"Didn't Qihang tell you?" The man turned his head to look at the other side of the table, and Mao Qihang quickly stood up.
What can he say?
Even if he said it, it was obvious at this moment that Li Hanting had no intention of showing much enthusiasm. Could he really try to undermine his brother?
Therefore, Mao Qihang could only smile foolishly.
"So they all knew it!" Li Hanting kept smiling.
At this time, a girl sitting next to Qi Jun stood up. She was wearing a white long dress, which was very typical of a Jiangnan girl, gentle and beautiful.
She came in front of Li Hanting, her beautiful eyes filled with the man's figure.
"Han Ting..." As soon as she opened her mouth, even the noise in the box seemed to quiet down.
The stern-faced man standing next to her was smiling, but if you looked closely, the smile didn't reach his eyes.
However, when it fell on that soft beauty, it showed a little tenderness for a moment.
When Li Hanting's gaze fell on the beauty in front of him, he paused, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he looked distant and indifferent.
"Xu Yi, you're back too!"
With that word, Xu Yi's face clearly flashed with hurt, but she then suppressed it and tried to raise the corners of her mouth, "Yes, I'm back."
"Come and sit down. It's not easy for us to get here, so let's have a good drink today." Qi Jun unobtrusively invited everyone to sit down.
"Oh, yes, come and sit down, let's talk first." Mao Qihang also greeted them.
Xu Yi looked up at Li Hanting, and then noticed Xia Yunxi standing behind the man.
When she met Xia Yunxi's gaze, she was slightly stunned.
Xu Yi ignored Mao Qihang and the others' greetings and looked straight at Xia Yunxi and asked, "Who is this?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't know what others thought, but Xia Yunxi, who was standing behind Li Hanting, clearly felt the atmosphere become quiet.
She glanced at everyone inconspicuously. Compared with Qi Jun's calmness and restraint, Mao Qihang and the others obviously had trouble controlling their emotions.
There was obvious nervousness on their faces. What were they nervous about?
Xia Yunxi's gaze once again fell on the delicate and graceful woman in front of her, who looked like a delicate flower. Her eyes flickered slightly, as if she understood something, yet seemed to understand nothing at all.
Xia Yunxi didn't move. She also looked at Li Hanting, wanting to know how he would introduce himself.
Li Hanting didn't seem to feel the atmosphere at the moment. Xu Yi asked, and he answered with a slight smile on his lips. He put his arm around Xia Yunxi's waist in a very casual manner, in a very intimate posture. He ignored everyone and stood in the box, all looking at them.
"Let me introduce you to my fiancée. It's a good thing you're back now. You can attend my engagement ceremony in a while."
After these simple words were spoken, everyone's hearts, which had been lifted high, seemed to fall heavily to the ground as if a huge rock had fallen.
Xu Yi's eyes widened in disbelief, and a trace of hurt was clearly visible on her beautiful face.
Even the man standing next to her, with a determined look on his face, glared at Li Hanting with anger: "Are you getting married?"
Li Hanting didn't seem to hear the anger in his tone at all. "Yes, don't you know? My child is already five years old."
Xu Yi seemed to have suffered a huge blow and took a step back uncontrollably.
The man standing next to her quickly supported her arm, "Xu Yi..."
The man looked at her worriedly, afraid that she would not be able to hold on.
Xu Yi relied on the strength of his arms to keep his body steady.
Her face was very pale, and after Li Hanting said that, it turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xia Yunxi's eyes flashed. Although the man was holding her waist, she could feel the stiffness of the man beside her.
Even the strength with which he embraced her, Xia Yunxi was aware of it more clearly than I could imagine. His strength was so strong, as if he was holding it back...
My heart suddenly ached.
Xia Yunxi couldn't figure out why this feeling suddenly emerged, but one thing was that she was unhappy.
At this moment, standing in this box, she really wanted to turn around and leave without caring about anything.
But she couldn't. When Li Hanting didn't move, she seemed to become numb...
Just go with the flow!
"I'm fine." Xu Yi shook his head, then raised his head and gave Li Hanting a pale smile.
Then he turned and walked towards the table.
"Come on, sit down. We haven't seen each other for so many years, so let's get together. It seems... I've missed a lot in the years I've been away!" Xu Yi said softly.
Even the carefree Mao Qihang felt that the atmosphere was weird and he didn't feel comfortable at all.
But as the man who livened up the atmosphere, he couldn't just give up. "You've missed a lot. You haven't seen my second brother's two children, twins who look exactly the same. Good fellow, when it comes to deceiving people, you don't even know them."
"Twins..." Xu Yi was smiling.
But everyone present could hear that she was crying inside.
Some people are so beautiful that their appearance and bones are integrated into one, which is breathtaking. When people see them, they feel inexplicably and their hearts are gripped.
This is how Xia Yunxi felt at this moment. She seemed to understand Li Hanting's reaction and also understood... the friendship between them.
No wonder, when Li Hanting was with her, she blushed and her heart beat fast at that moment.
But it seems that it is not as addictive as imagined... It makes people miss each other when they are apart.
She thought that the relationship between them was natural, and Li Hanting also said that he didn't hate her and felt comfortable being with her.
