Chapter 609 Ambiguity
"What's wrong?"
Huo Xingzhou's low voice came from above his head.
Qiao Xi shook her head, and after confirming that she was alright, she raised her head and said, "Let's go back."
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou reached out and held her hand tightly. "Can we go now? I heard from Lao Chen that the waiter gave you a lot of wine."
"You can go."
Qiao Xi said softly, and she even tried to walk a few steps to show Huo Xingzhou. But it was crooked and not a straight line at all.
Huo Xingzhou knew that she could usually drink quite a bit, and what Lao Chen said was not an exaggeration at all, she did drink a lot of champagne.
It’s just that the champagne was low in alcohol, so she drank it on an empty stomach.
Huo Xingzhou put his arm around her waist and said, "Let's go together. Let's go home and ask Xiaoyuan to make you something to eat. You haven't eaten all night, so you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Qiao Xi looked at him seriously with her almond-shaped eyes. After a pause, she nodded. "Okay, I want some clear soup noodles with an egg. The edges of the egg should be fried crispy, but the middle should still be a little runny. And sprinkle some green onions on it..."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look and he said, "Well, let her do it for you."
He knew that Qiao Xi must be missing her grandmother.
Because she once said that her grandmother would cook a bowl of clear soup noodles with an egg on top on her birthday.
It has to be a fried egg with crispy edges and a runny center.
This kind of fried egg must be fried in a pan over high heat.
A lot happened tonight, no wonder she drank so much.
Huo Xingzhou held her in his arms all the way to the parking lot and helped her into the car.
Old Chen said, "Master, Young Master Sun and the eldest lady haven't arrived yet. Should I contact them now?"
"Jiaojiao has someone to take her home, and as for Sun Weimeng... he has many connections, so he can always get a ride back. Don't worry about him."
"Okay, but I haven't seen Young Master Sun all night. I don't know where he went. Normally, he would definitely not miss the chance to watch the fun." Old Chen said as he closed the car door and walked back to the driver's seat.
He started the car and stepped on the accelerator.
It’s a long drive from here to the garden villa. I really don’t know why the engagement party was chosen here.
There were fewer and fewer guests in the banquet hall of the Castle Hotel, and Sun Weimeng ran out from the corner with a faint lipstick mark on his face.
He looked everywhere for Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou but couldn't find them.
As a last resort, he grabbed a waiter and asked, "Have you seen Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo?"
"It seems he's gone."
"What about Huo Sijiao?"
"Miss Huo just walked out. It's still not too late for you to chase her now."
"Thanks, brother."
Sun Weimeng lamented that Huo Xingzhou was disloyal, while trying to catch up.
This castle hotel is quite far from the city, and taxis are usually hard to come by. The only option is the hotel's private car, but with so many guests tonight, it's unlikely they'll be able to get one. Some guests simply stayed in the lounge.
But Sun Weimeng was anxious to go home. He heard that a lot of things happened in the hotel tonight, and he was rushing back to share the gossip.
Sun Weimeng ran so hard that he was out of breath. Finally, he saw Huo Sijiao at the main entrance of the Castle Hotel. There were several people traveling with her.
"Huo Sijiao!"
Sun Wei shouted loudly, his voice breaking.
"Wait for me, Huo Sijiao!"
The figure under the light of the ancient castle stopped, and Sun Weimeng ran desperately to Huo Sijiao's side, only to find that there were several old acquaintances around her.
Xie Xubai, Guan Jingtan and...Shen Xuanzhi.
What a great fate this is!
"Miss Guan, you are here too. You look so beautiful today." Sun Weimeng seemed a lot more restrained in front of Guan Jingtan. Although he knew that there was no possibility between them, he always paid attention to his image in front of the goddess.
"Hello, Mr. Sun." Guan Jingtan said with a smile, and she stretched out her white fingers and pointed at Sun Weimeng's cheek.
Sun Weimeng finally reacted, wiped the lipstick marks on his cheek vigorously, and said with a dry laugh: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Some girls are too enthusiastic, I can't resist."
Guan Jingtan praised: "Young Master Sun is truly a man of character."
She had never dared to do such an extraordinary thing and envied the freedom and unrestrainedness of Sun Weimeng.
Huo Sijiao lowered her voice and said with disdain, "Sun Weimeng, you are so embarrassing."
Sun Weimeng quarreled with her: "I am a romantic man, but you don't understand. Why are you so disloyal? Your brother and sister-in-law left me and ran away, and you didn't care about me. Huo Sijiao, have you forgotten that I am your male companion tonight?"
"A male companion to make up the numbers. If I didn't know so few people in the capital, I wouldn't have chosen you."
Huo Sijiao said with a pout.
"I won't bother with you." Sun Weimeng smiled at Guan Jingtan and asked in a low voice, "What are you four waiting for here? You're standing there like statues."
“Wait for the bus!”
Huo Sijiao said unhappily, "Special Assistant Ning and the Guan family's driver went to drive the car."
"oh."
Sun Wei responded loudly and tugged at her suit, "Whose clothes are these? Are you afraid of the cold?"
"Sun Weimeng, shut up."
Huo Sijiao became angry and embarrassed.
Sun Weimeng immediately shut his mouth. He turned his head and looked at the man and woman on both sides, his eyes full of gossip.
On one side are Guan Jingtan and Shen Xuanzhi, and on the other side are Huo Sijiao and Xie Xubai. Something doesn't seem right.
Sun Weimeng's eyes were shining. After a while, he couldn't help his gossipy nature. He coughed a few times and asked, "Shen Xuanzhi, where did you stay after checking out of Yunqi Hotel?"
Huo Sijiao also looked over pretending not to care.
Shen Xuanzhi's face was indifferent, and he stood in the half shadow.
"I'm staying at Guan's house." A cold and somewhat hoarse voice sounded.
"Stay overnight? Does Shen Xuan know that you are related to the Guan family? Why are you staying there?" Sun Weimeng had heard some gossip. He and Huo Sijiao were buddies, so he had to find out for her.
Huo Sijiao, that arrogant girl, usually talks a lot, but in front of Shen Xuanzhi, she is like a gourd with its mouth sawed off.
Shen Xuanzhi was silent for a while.
Guan Jingtan came to the rescue: "Doctor Shen is treating my grandfather. Our two families' elders had some interactions before, so it would be more convenient for him to live at home."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then you elders..."
Sun Weimeng wanted to ask more, but Huo Sijiao pulled him away and warned him, "The car is here. If you say another word, you'll have to walk back to the city."
Sun Weimeng just shut his mouth.
Xie Xubai stood aside, a faint smile on his face as he said, "Get in the car."
He nodded slightly as a greeting to Guan Jingtan, and his special assistant Ning Yuan opened the car door.
The three of them got in the car and it drove away quickly.
Guan Jingtan stood there, her beautiful face otherworldly.
She glanced at Shen Xuanzhi and said, "It's not too late if you regret it. I can see that Miss Huo has feelings for you, and you are not indifferent."
