Chapter 860 I will take good care of your sweetheart
Qiao Xi had an intuition.
At first there was no movement in the room, perhaps no one was there.
Just like what Zhong Yi said, the sound insulation in the cruise ship lounge is not very good.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw the big window, and when she looked out, it seemed to be a platform for viewing the scenery.
She had some doubts in her heart, so she spoke out directly.
Zhong Yi was somewhat helpless: "How can I hide anything from you? He and I do have some things to do, and I'll tell you when we're done. But no matter who asks, you have to say that I was at the party the whole time."
"I know. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"That's all. Be careful. It won't be peaceful tonight. The Pei family is very petty. Mrs. Pei's mind is even smaller than the eye of a needle, so you have to be on guard. Huo Xingzhou arranged so many bodyguards for you, and this is also his consideration."
Qiao Xi nodded without asking any more questions: "You should also pay attention to safety."
"Know."
She stood up and said, "Then I'll go first."
"Let's go together. You're the focal point, so everyone can see me."
A smile appeared on Qiao Xi's pretty face, "Let's go."
There was a more sincere smile in Zhong Yi's eyes. She didn't mind appearing in front of others with him. Even if those people said dirty things, she didn't mean that.
Zhong Yi and Qiao Xi walked out of the room one after another and headed towards the banquet hall.
When they appeared together, they really attracted a lot of people's attention.
"So Master Zhong is here! Someone was looking for him just now, but I didn't expect him to be with Madam Huo."
"The eldest son of the Zhong family is here too. Will they quarrel today?"
Zhong Yi wandered around.
Qiao Xi also completed the task and sat in the previous corner, watching Zhong Yi casually chatting with a few people, and even deliberately running to Zhong Lingxiao to provoke him.
Seven o'clock sharp.
The banquet hall gradually became quiet.
The lights around were dim.
A spotlight fell on the spiral staircase.
Pei Gan and Feng Nanxi, dressed in their finest attire, appeared at the stairwell, both with formal smiles on their faces. They walked down hand in hand, looking quite a good match.
“A perfect match!”
"It's just that the woman looks a little young, not yet of legal marriageable age. If she were, today would be the wedding banquet."
"I think Pei Gan is reluctant. Is he, a playboy, really going to settle down? How can a little girl compare to the women he dated before? I think Zhao Zhenmei is more in line with his taste."
"Hehe, Zhao Zhenmei is his eldest sister-in-law's younger sister, a few years older than Pei Gan."
The guests discussed the matter privately, but they still congratulated each other openly.
The newly engaged couple walked into the crowd and were introduced to the guests by Zhao Yaru and Pei Zheng.
Feng Nanxi's face was frozen with smile. She held the wine glass and looked at the crowd, not daring to reveal her thoughts at all.
Pei Zheng's voice rang out beside him: "This is the second young master of the Zhong family, a very capable man."
The tone seemed a little sarcastic.
Pei Gan snorted coldly and said, "Hello, Master Zhong."
The glass collided with his champagne, making a crisp sound, and then he took a sip perfunctorily.
But I liked to finish a glass of champagne.
Feng Nanxi pursed her lips, took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and handed it to Zhong Yi: "Hello, Mr. Zhong, thank you for coming to my engagement party."
After exchanging glances, Feng Nanxi understood what he meant.
She handed the wine glass forward again: "Mr. Zhong, don't you want to drink the wine I toast you with?"
Zhong Yi smiled and reached out to take it.
But the glass fell and the champagne poured over him.
Feng Nanxi hurriedly said in a panic: "I'm sorry, Master Zhong, I didn't mean it. Are you okay?"
"Puchi." Pei Gan couldn't help but laugh.
It’s really refreshing.
Pei Zheng glared at him and said calmly, "Mr. Zhong, why don't you go change your clothes first? My future sister-in-law is young and hasn't seen many big scenes. It's inevitable that she will be nervous when she sees someone like you. Don't blame her for being clumsy."
"I'm not that stingy. Excuse me."
Zhong Yi flicked the wine hanging on his body with his fingers, then left with a calm expression.
Pei Zheng looked at his back as he went upstairs and laughed.
Pei Gan lowered his voice and said to Feng Nanxi, "I didn't expect you to have such a trick! You made him suffer a loss and he dared not say anything. I have long disliked Zhong Yi, but fortunately you are sensible. You know that we are a family after our engagement, so we must be united in the future."
He looked quite happy.
Feng Nanxi pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled fakely.
There is no such thing as unity against the outside world. It's just the orders of the financial backers.
She does it to make money.
"My brother admires you very much."
"Really? Thank you."
Pei Gan acted as if he didn't hear the perfunctory tone in her words and said kindly, "From today on, you are my fiancée. I will try my best to treat you well."
Feng Nanxi felt a little disgusted after hearing this, "Where were you last night?"
Pei Gan coughed twice, feeling a little guilty: "Of course I'm at home. I'm getting engaged."
"Oh, then everything I heard was false."
"What did you hear?"
Feng Nanxi curled her lips. "I heard that you held a party to say goodbye to being single and invited a lot of beautiful women. You even came out of the hotel this morning. Is that true?"
"...Who spread this? How irresponsible! Don't overthink it. I definitely didn't do anything like this. We Pei family members are very loyal. Look at my brother. He's been married for so many years. Has he ever found another woman?"
He did go find a woman last night and spent the night with her. He thought Feng Nanxi was just a little girl, and he would just treat her well in the future.
He can still enjoy the happiness of having two wives, but he just needs to do it secretly so that his family won't find out.
Fortunately, my brother has been very busy recently and has not paid too much attention to him.
Feng Nanxi did not comment on his explanation. She knew very well what kind of quagmire the Pei family was in.
The two followed Pei Zheng around and finally finished toasting.
Feng Nanxi used the excuse of being too tired and went straight back to the lounge.
She avoided the crowd as she went upstairs and slipped into Zhong Yi's room.
But I didn't expect that what I saw was a thin piece of white muscle.
He was changing clothes with a white shirt in his hand.
Feng Nanxi's cheeks flushed unconsciously, and she looked away. Zhong Yi glanced at her, then calmly put on his shirt, buttoning it slowly and methodically.
"Why didn't you lock the door when you changed?"
"How did you get in when I locked the door?"
Zhong Yi put on his shirt and a new coat, "I'm going out for a while. If anyone asks, just cover up for me and say I was in the lounge and didn't go out."
"good."
"Take care of Qiao Xi for me. I think your future mother-in-law is not very well-behaved."
Feng Nanxi was a little disdainful: "What future mother-in-law? It's all fake. Don't worry, I will take good care of your sweetheart."
As Feng Nanxi finished speaking, she heard a sound beside her.
She turned around and saw that handsome man had already jumped out of the window. His eyes were filled with recklessness as he looked back at her, and then he left.
Feng Nanxi touched her chest and felt a sense of tightness for no apparent reason.
