Tia rarely spoke. She had no plans to get married, let alone have children. She couldn't get a word in edgewise on such a topic, and besides, she wasn't good at talking; she was better suited to listening.
"Tia, what's going on between you and Edward? I heard that Prince Edward publicly stated that he likes you. You two aren't really together, are you?" Gongsun Lin asked.
"No, that's not true. He and I are just good friends."
Tia was somewhat at a loss and vehemently denied it.
Ye Qingqing gave her a meaningful look. It was impossible for Tia not to be attracted to a man as outstanding as Edward; she must have some reservations.
“Actually, Edward is quite good. He used to be a little blind, but his eyesight is better now. You can consider him, Tia. Besides, you’re not young anymore. You can’t stay a bachelor for the rest of your life,” Gongsun Lin advised.
Ruan Yingzi nodded and said, "Yes, I used to really dislike Edward, but I've changed a lot in the past few years. I'm not blind anymore. Tia, don't always hold onto the past. Give Edward a chance, and give yourself a chance too!"
"It's impossible for me and him...it's really impossible, I...sigh, please stop talking...I'm doing very well now, I have no plans to get married, I'm quite happy living alone like this." Tia stated her attitude.
Gongsun Lin wanted to persuade her further, but Ye Qingqing gave her a look, indicating that Tia needed to figure this out herself. If she didn't move on, she wouldn't be happy even if she were with Edward.
Ye Qingqing changed the subject, and Tiya breathed a sigh of relief. She listened silently, but couldn't help thinking of someone, feeling lost and sighing silently.
The banquet was held at noon. Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo went to toast each table. Ding Ba and He Weishao were the most disruptive, coming up with all sorts of bad ideas, making the atmosphere very lively. In the end, Lu Mo was worried that Ye Qingqing was tired, so he gave the two of them a warning look, and they finally quieted down.
"Stop fooling around... haha... save your energy for tonight." Ding Ba winked at Lu Mo in a suggestive way, and He Weishao did the same, making Lu Mo blush. He glared at the two of them in annoyance.
"Brother, want me to teach you a few tricks? Back in the day, your brother relied on these few tricks..." Ding Ba boasted proudly about his past achievements. He had drunk some wine and was half drunk and half sober, feeling excited.
Lu Mo remained silent, watching this guy court death with a half-smile. He Weishao sensed something was wrong and kicked him hard. Ding Ba angrily cursed him, "Why did you kick me? Don't be so unconvinced. When it comes to women, ten of you can't compare to me."
"Yes, yes, yes, even a hundred of me couldn't compare to you. I'm ashamed of myself, hehe..."
He Weishao was very modest and didn't care whether the guy lived or died. He was more concerned about saving his own life. His wife was watching from the table next to him, and there was also Ding Ba's shrew. Humph, that guy was going to get a good beating tonight.
Ding Ba belatedly felt the chill and shivered violently. He turned his head and saw his shrewish wife giving him a cold look. His daughter, Niu Niu, made a "you're doomed" gesture at him. Ding Ba immediately sobered up, cold sweat poured down his back, and his legs involuntarily went weak. If they weren't in public, he would have definitely knelt down.
Gong Zhu glanced at her good-for-nothing son and said to Miao Tianxiong, "Don't slap your face. After all, you have to go out for social engagements, and it won't make you look good either."
"Don't worry, I won't slap you in the face."
Miao Tianxiong remained calm; she never hit people in the face.
