Pei Xiaoxiao smiled again, her eyes curved, revealing a hint of shyness, and looked at Zichen, "Thank you, Aunt Jin, we will."
Liu Zhiyuan didn't look at Pei Xiaoxiao, knowing she must be smiling brightly at the moment. She didn't look at Duan Zichen either. She just wanted to say hello and find a corner to sit down as soon as possible.
Pei Xiaoxiao is good at setting traps, so how could she let her go easily?
She looked behind Liu Zhiyuan and asked in confusion, "Xiaoyuan, where is your husband? Why didn't he come with you? Zichen and I were just talking about wanting you and your husband to attend our engagement ceremony together. Why didn't he come with you?"
Liu Zhiyuan curled her lips faintly, "Oh, my husband is very busy at work. I was going to go with you, but I received a call from the hospital and was urgently recalled. I want to know why you are so worried about my husband. Isn't your fiancé charming enough?"
Pei Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and she bit her lips in grievance.
"Xiao Yuan, why do you say that?"
Duan Zichen trembled slightly and his face became a little stiff.
In fact, he called Song Ling, and the call went smoothly.
Lin Jinrong secretly pinched Liu Zhiyuan and warned her not to talk nonsense.
Liu Zhiyuan naturally said this on purpose. She had to use her poisonous tongue to fight back against this kind of white lotus.
Sure enough, after she said that, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Lin Jinrong quickly pulled Liu Zhiyuan to a corner and whispered, "Liu Zhiyuan, what's wrong with you? Don't forget, the Pei family is not something we can offend."
Liu Zhiyuan pretended not to hear, then went to the food area to buy a lot of desserts, and sat there eating them in small bites.
Lin Jinrong was naturally very busy. After she warned Liu Zhiyuan, she went to sit down and chat with the wives of those wealthy families.
Liu Zhiyuan really enjoyed dessert, so she concentrated on eating, automatically blocking out any external distractions. Her main goal tonight was to make herself as comfortable as possible in an uncomfortable environment.
Pei Xiaoxiao wanted to show off and make her sad, but she was not sad. She never wanted to be sad about meaningless things, so she had to calm down.
The engagement ceremony began, and the bride and groom stood on the red carpet to accept everyone's blessings.
Pei Xiaoxiao was bathed in happiness, smiling and snuggling in Duan Zichen's arms.
Duan Zichen was in a trance when the emcee asked them to kiss.
Pei Xiaoxiao gently pinched his waist and looked at him somewhat aggrievedly.
" Zichen. "
Duan Zichen froze, his eyes with a complicated expression withdrawn from a corner. He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and kissed Xiaoxiao's red lips.
There was a burst of applause.
Amidst the warm applause, the flame of jealousy in Pei Xiaoxiao's heart was comforted for a moment.
Liu Zhiyuan kept eating the dessert on the plate, but suddenly felt that the dessert was very bitter.
She curled her lips in self-mockery, because it was really wrong that these two people had affected her appetite.
When she got up to continue foraging, the power in the hall suddenly went out.
She frowned uneasily.
The originally bustling hall was thrown into panic due to the sudden power outage.
Liu Zhiyuan realized something was wrong and wanted to step aside.
I just realized that my skirt had been stepped on and I couldn't move at all.
In the darkness, someone came to her.
The skirt was stepped on and someone was knocked over, which undoubtedly led to the fall.
After falling, I was afraid that I would become the laughing stock of the whole audience and be capitalized into embarrassment.
Just as she was frowning anxiously, someone behind her fell down before her.
In the darkness, Liu Zhiyuan felt that there were people lying on the ground in a mess around her, screaming in fear.
The force that had just stepped on her skirt disappeared, but she felt a little unstable.
She held a plate with an exquisite dessert in one hand and a glass of milk in the other.
Just as she was about to make close contact with the ground, a slender but strong arm pulled her in time.
After Liu Zhiyuan stood firm, she took a deep breath, smelled the elegant perfume in the air, and thanked him politely.
"Thank you, beautiful lady." Although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, her intuition told her that the person helping her was a beautiful lady with temperament.
Soon, the lights in the hall came on again.
The hotel lobby manager came out to explain that the new employee accidentally turned off the wrong switch in the distribution room.
Liu Zhiyuan adapted to the brilliant light of the crystal chandelier and looked at the beautiful woman who had just helped her.
She smiled, her lips curving, "Ah, you're such a beauty."
Zhao Yanran was not offended by her proactive greeting. She frowned slightly and glanced at the woman sitting on the ground.
Liu Zhiyuan also followed her gaze and looked at the woman on the ground.
When she saw who the woman sitting on the ground was, her eyebrows couldn't help but tighten.
This Qiu He is a mutual friend of hers and Pei Xiaoxiao. To be more precise, she should be Pei Xiaoxiao's good friend.
In fact, friendships among wealthy people are not so pure.
The Pei family's assets are far larger than the Liu family's, so Yi has always been closer to Pei Xiaoxiao.
If she guessed correctly, the person who stepped on her skirt just now was Qiu He.
The reason why Qiu He fell down was because Zhao Yanran pushed Qiu He down and helped her, which saved her from embarrassment.
In such occasions, falling to the ground becomes the focus in minutes.
Qiu He was embarrassed as if he had swallowed a fly, his face was pale, and the crystal glass in his hand, which was originally filled with dark red liquid, was spilling on his white evening dress. He looked in a mess.
Liu Zhiyuan subconsciously looked at Pei Xiaoxiao who was walking towards her, and clearly saw a hint of regret flash in her eyes.
However, when she walked over with Duan Zichen, the annoyance in her eyes turned into nervousness.
She walked forward and helped Qiu He up.
"Are you okay? Why are you so careless?"
Qiu He glared at Zhao Yanran with hatred, gritting his teeth.
"I'm fine."
Pei Xiaoxiao asked the hotel waiter to take Qiu He to the locker room to change clothes, and gently lent her her clothes.
Then he looked at Liu Zhiyuan nervously, "Xiaoyuan, are you okay? It was so chaotic just now, I hope you didn't get hurt?"
Liu Zhiyuan raised her head and smiled faintly, "I'm fine. The dessert tonight was delicious, thank you."
From beginning to end, she didn't even give Duan Zichen a glance. Duan Zichen's face looked ugly and his body was slightly tense.
"If you like, I will visit your house often in the future. I will ask the pastry chef at home to make more for you." Pei Xiaoxiao smiled happily and harmlessly.
Liu Zhiyuan was too lazy to pay attention to her, and even more lazy to watch her white lotus performance.
Pei Xiaoxiao didn't want to say much, so she pulled Zichen to greet other guests.
Zhao Yanran turned around to leave, but was stopped by Liu Zhiyuan.
"Beautiful lady, wait a moment. My name is Liu Zhiyuan. Thank you so much for what I did just now."
But the beauty would not ignore her.
Liu Zhiyuan is now used to people with cold personalities.
Compared to her uncle, this beauty is still pretty good.
At least, the beauty's eyes are not cold.
Liu Zhiyuan put down the dessert and milk, wiped her hands, and solemnly and politely extended her hand. "Hello."
Zhao Yanran was stunned for two seconds, then said coldly, "My name is Zhao Yanran, you don't have to be too enthusiastic towards me. Saving you doesn't mean I like you. On the contrary, I don't like you very much."
