Watching the two figures walk away hand in hand, Qin Mubei approached Fang Tianhua, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Mr. Fang, who was that Mr. Xu just now?"
Seeing that it was Qin Mubei asking, Fang Tianhua leaned closer and whispered, "Young Master Qin, which other Xu family in our Tianjiang Province is this one?"
As he spoke, he extended his thumb and pointed upwards.
Qin Mubei's pupils contracted in shock. He never dreamed that Xu Tingchuan would be associated with Xu Haicheng. He originally thought that Ni Sitian could only marry a rich second-generation who was doing well in business. How could he possibly have anything to do with the Xu family?
The thought of his recent confrontations with Xu Tingchuan sent chills down his spine.
Xu Haicheng is the person who can decide the fate of the Qin family. His father is just a minor leader in the municipal bureau. Compared to him, it's like comparing a piece of ocean to a floating floe. A single spit from the Xu family could cause a huge upheaval in the Qin family.
Compared to the extent of his offense against Xu Tingchuan, Wu Zhongcheng's was insignificant, but if even Wu Zhongcheng ended up like this, then the Qin family...
"Young Master Qin, what's wrong?" Fang Tianhua asked with concern when he saw Qin Mubei's changed expression. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Mubei pursed his lips, still unwilling to give up, and asked again, "What are he and Xu Haicheng?"
“Of course, father and son.” Fang Tianhua gave him a strange look and asked doubtfully, “Didn’t your father mention this to you?”
Qin Mubei's face paled. He had naturally heard of the Xu family's reputation, but the Xu family was always low-key and rarely attended such banquets. His father had always wanted to get on good terms with Xu Haicheng, but he rarely even had the chance to meet him.
"Young Master Qin, you look terrible. Would you like to go and rest?" Fang Tianhua knew that Qin Mubei's father had a chance to run for the next mayor, so he was very polite to him.
Qin Mubei snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and, having no desire to stay any longer, strode quickly out of the banquet hall without a word.
At this moment, Xu Tingchuan had already led Ni Sitian outside. He took off his suit jacket and draped it over Ni Sitian's shoulders, pulling it up for her, and gently scolded her, "Why didn't you wear a jacket when you went out? What if you catch a cold?"
Ni Sitian looked up at him, her dark eyes reflecting his handsome face, her gaze filled with a certain emotion.
Just now, when she was at her most lonely and helpless, this man seemed to be a peerless hero who came to save her riding on a colorful cloud.
Even the brightest stars tonight cannot compare to one ten-thousandth of his brilliance.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xu Tingchuan chuckled softly and stroked her hair.
"It seems like I've never really known you." Ni Sitian frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled. She was gradually realizing how good Xu Tingchuan was, and she was also gradually seeing the gap between them.
In that banquet hall, she was a sparrow who had mistakenly wandered into a phoenix's nest, while he was an emperor surrounded by stars. She suddenly realized what it meant to be worlds apart.
"What nonsense are you spouting now?" Xu Tingchuan chuckled and flicked her delicate nose.
Ni Sitian stared intently at Xu Tingchuan, her eyes flickering, and whispered nervously, "Am I really going to marry you?"
"Looks like I really need to go and seek compensation from Mrs. Wu. She's really messed up my wife's little head; she's started talking nonsense." Xu Tingchuan touched the large bump on Ni Sitian's forehead, considering the matter quite seriously.
“Xu Tingchuan, I feel like these days are a dream, it feels so unreal.” Ni Sitian held Xu Tingchuan’s hand tightly and said anxiously, “I’m so afraid that when I wake up from this dream, the reality will be that we are not married, and we don’t even know each other.”
