Chapter 777 Tonight, she will belong to someone else
The banquet hall was filled with joy and a sweet atmosphere.
Huo Sijiao took Xie Xubai's hand and met each elder of the Xie family in turn, greeted relatives and friends, and finally greeted a group of prominent figures in the imperial capital.
Her face froze from laughing.
My feet were rubbed by the high heels and it felt a bit uncomfortable. I don’t know if the skin was broken.
Being engaged is so tiring.
I don't know what marriage will be like.
"sister in law."
Her cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, and she walked to Qiao Xi's side and said coquettishly, "Being engaged is so tiring!"
Qiao Xi tidied up her hair and said, "You only get one engagement party in your life, so you must cherish it."
"I've been drinking so much, my stomach is really upset."
Xie Xubai stood aside and said, "We have arranged for the kitchen to prepare a small banquet. You can go to the main house to eat."
Huo Sijiao asked, "Is it okay for me to just leave like this?"
"It's okay, I'll handle the situation."
"good!"
Huo Sijiao pulled Qiao Xi to the glass corridor bridge on the other side. Through this glass passage, they could reach the main house of Xie Mansion, which was where the Xie family usually lived.
The main house seemed much quieter, and Huo Sijiao completely relaxed.
There were exquisite small dishes on the dining table, all of which were her favorite specialties.
Especially the snow-coated bean paste.
Xie Xubai remembered her taste very clearly.
"Sister-in-law, let's eat something quickly. Don't go hungry, or my brother won't forgive me."
Huo Sijiao picked up a piece of snow-covered bean paste and placed it on Qiao Xi's plate. "Try it, it's completely different from the ones in Haicheng. This is my favorite snack recently, and this pigeon cake, too. It's so nice not to have to stay in the banquet hall and deal with all those people!"
Qiao Xi watched her eat with relish, and the smile in her eyes became even more intense.
Huo Sijiao was very happy that she could be happy.
"Young Madam."
The Xie family's maid came closer and spoke in a low voice.
Huo Sijiao put down her chopsticks, and the smile on her face faded a little.
"Then I'll go take a look."
She stood up holding up her skirt, said something to Qiao Xi and walked out.
After turning a few corners, they saw the familiar figure. Huo Sijiao slowed down her pace, approached, and said, "I heard you wanted to see me alone? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Shen Xuanzhi turned around and looked at her, a flash of surprise in his eyes, but his heart felt even more uncomfortable.
Tonight, she will belong to someone else.
"Do you really like Xie Xubai? Or is it because of the Huo family..."
"Does it have anything to do with you? Regardless of whether I like Xie Xubai or not, I am willing to marry him. No one can force me to give in to something I, Huo Sijiao, don't want to do." Huo Sijiao still couldn't remain calm in front of Shen Xuanzhi.
After all, she was someone he loved deeply, and he also taught her a very profound lesson.
Flash marriage!
Is Shen Xuanzhi the only one who can do such a thing as a flash marriage? Huo Sijiao is not a pushover either.
"good."
Shen Xuanzhi completely gave up.
He thought reason could control his emotions, but it was too late.
The suppressed emotion spread like seaweed, overwhelming his entire heart.
He couldn't sleep at night and was always thinking about Huo Sijiao.
"Shen Xuanzhi, you already have a wife. The Guan family has fallen out of the ranks of the four major families and has suffered a heavy blow. You should focus on revitalizing the family. Miss Guan is a very good woman, you should cherish her."
This was Huo Sijiao's final warning.
"I know this is the last time I will say these inappropriate words to you."
Shen Xuanzhi pulled out a string of round sandalwood beads from his suit pocket. This was a relic of his father's. He had carried it with him for over twenty years. The sandalwood beads were smooth and shiny, and looked very valuable.
He reached out and placed the sandalwood bead bracelet in Huo Sijiao's palm.
"A wedding gift for you." This was the most precious thing that belonged to him.
Since we are not destined to be together, I will just follow my heart and leave the most important thing to her.
"I can't have it. It's your father's legacy."
"After you accept it, I will never bother you again."
"Shen Xuanzhi, are you threatening me?"
"Huo Sijiao, I'm begging you." Shen Xuanzhi wanted to have a last bit of contact with Huo Sijiao. It was enough for her to have his things by her side.
Huo Sijiao's fingers touched the string of sandalwood beads, and she felt a pang of bitterness in her nose. "You used to...never talk so much. When you faced me, you either had a cold face or spoke harshly to me. I still remember the night I came to your house to verify your marriage with Guan Jingtan, and you said you hated me and didn't want to see me again."
For the first time in her life, she liked a man so much, but her passion was extinguished by the wind and snow that night.
"I regret it, countless times. If... I didn't make that choice, if..."
If he hadn't wanted to use the Guan family for revenge, the person engaged to Huo Sijiao today might have been him.
"Shen Xuanzhi, live a good life from now on. Today... is the last time we meet alone." Huo Sijiao said, clutching the string of sandalwood beads. "I accept the gift, thank you."
"goodbye."
She looked at Shen Xuanzhi deeply, then walked forward holding up her skirt.
But the further I walked, the more wrong it felt.
Why is she getting hotter and hotter?
Her legs were weak and she had to hold on to the wall to avoid falling. She was a little confused and her vision was blurry.
A man in waiter-style clothes supported her and said, "Miss Huo, are you okay? I'll help you go upstairs to rest."
"No……"
"You are drunk, let me help you."
The man had strong hands. He put one hand around her waist and covered her mouth with the other hand, and forcibly took her through the back door to the lounge on the second floor of the banquet hall.
“Let go…let go…”
Huo Sijiao was brought into a dim room.
Feeling disheartened.
At the corner, Pei Chun smiled slightly.
Finally, a troublemaker was eliminated. Now we just need to wait for someone to catch the adulterer. With this incident, Xie Xubai and Huo Sijiao's marriage will definitely not be successful.
She also had her chance.
"Hey, you're smiling obscenely here."
Pei Chun was startled when he heard the sweet and clear female voice. He turned around and saw that it was a little girl who was still wet behind the ears.
She said in a bad tone, "None of your business."
Feng Nanxi stared at Pei Chun with a sly smile in her eyes, "You didn't do anything bad here?"
Pei Chun rolled her eyes and walked away in her high heels.
She had other things to do.
Feng Nanxi looked at the closed door of the second-floor lounge, wondering if she should join in. But then she heard footsteps on the stairs, and her figure disappeared into the shadows.
Seeing the person coming, she smiled.
It seems that she doesn't need to meddle in other people's business.
Stay for a few more minutes and see what the other person does.
She was even more surprised and impressed. The people in the imperial capital really wanted to seek revenge!
At this moment, a commotion erupted from the banquet hall downstairs. Feng Nanxi glanced over, her smile growing even wider.
It seems that tonight is really lively!
