"This girl~", Ji Jingwen scolded with a smile, and said to Fan Qi who remained expressionless with a smile: "Please forgive me, Mr. Fan. Yao'er is still young and naive. She has been spoiled by me and her father since she was a child.", so if you are picky about etiquette, it means you are not magnanimous.
"It's okay. It's a good thing for young people to be energetic," Fan Qi said indifferently, then walked in and talked to the guests who had already arrived.
Seeing this, Ji Jingwen and Baili Xiao looked at each other, disgust in their eyes. It would be better if this stink bug didn't cause trouble today.
He Xiao and Rui Qing, who had been silent all this time, also had serious expressions on their faces.
Finally, He Xiao left Rui Qing behind and went out alone to find He Yishuang and gave him some instructions before returning to the banquet venue.
5:30 pm.
He Xiao and the other three had already left the reception area at the door and appeared under the main stage, waiting for Baili Xiyao to change into her formal engagement dress before the banquet began.
About ten minutes later, the waiter came over and told us that it was ready.
Baili Xiao took the microphone and went on stage.
At the same time, the noisy sounds in the banquet hall disappeared, and everyone fell silent, waiting for Baili Xiao to speak.
A deep, powerful and magnetic voice sounded.
"It's getting late, and I'm sure everyone is hungry, so I won't waste any more pleasantries and let's get straight to the point. I welcome everyone to take time out of their busy schedules to attend the engagement party for my daughter Baili Xiyao and He Mozhao, the youngest of the He family. Baili Xiao would like to thank you in advance." He nodded, then extended his hand towards the door and said with a smile, "Next, let us invite the two protagonists of the engagement party."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of fireworks exploding was heard at the door.
He Mozhao was wearing a custom-made cold white suit, which made him look tall and slender. His carefully styled black hair was neat and clean, and his handsome face was so exquisite that people could not help but gasp and stare at him.
Baili Xiyao, who walked hand in hand with him, was wearing a long dress that dragged on the ground. The style was simple, and the most eye-catching part of the whole dress was the skirt. The whole body was reflected in the colorful crimson color under the light.
She wore a tie-style necklace on her slender neck. It had two pigeon-blood red diamonds, one pear-shaped and the other emerald-shaped. They were particularly eye-catching against the chain inlaid with micro-diamonds. Combined with Baili Xiyao's fair skin, it was like a red rose in the snow, which was unforgettable and deeply shocking.
This pair of top-notch newcomers caught the attention and breath of everyone present as soon as they appeared on the stage.
"Brother Zhao is so handsome. I've known Brother Zhao for so many years, and I'm always amazed every time I see him dressed up carefully," Zuo Linyu, who was sitting in the lower row, exclaimed, and Mu Shaojin nodded in agreement.
Baili Xiyao and He Mozhao followed Qiongqi, who had not appeared for a long time and now appeared in the form of a tiger cub, and walked slowly towards the stage.
Qiongqi led the people onto the stage and then quietly withdrew. After all, at such an important moment, if he made any mistakes, his precious fur would be ruined.
Among the crowd, there was a man whose eyes, despite the superficial amazement, concealed an unknown evil.
Baili Xiyao on the stage narrowed her eyes slightly, and as she turned to face the guests, she glanced at everyone present without making any expression.
"Baby, you speak first," Baili Xiyao whispered and handed the microphone to He Mozhao.
He Mozhao nodded and took the microphone, clearing his throat, with a smile on his lips, "Welcome everyone to come and witness our love"
After the opening line, He Mozhao put away his smile, turned his head to meet Baili Xiyao's gaze, and spoke softly, "The joy of our engagement is now announced to the public, and all the relatives and friends present here are witnesses. We will walk hand in hand on a long road, and the years will pass by. I only wish to pour out my sincerity and give you my heart, and I hope you will not let me down."
The words are brief.
This was the decision He Mozhao made after thinking for a long time. After much deliberation, he decided that only by devoting himself to her could he be worthy of Baili Xiyao's love.
Baili Xiyao heard this and took the microphone with a chuckle, her eyes filled with tenderness and doting, "As you said."
After responding, Baili Xiyao turned to face the guests. His voice lost the doting he had shown to He Mozhao, returning to its coldness. "Everyone who has come here with invitations today is a relative or friend of the Baili and He clans, so I don't think there's much to say about formalities. However, it seems a bit too concise to just start the banquet like this, so..."
After a pause, Baili Xiyao reached out and held He Mozhao tightly, then turned around and stood opposite him, saying affectionately, "I'll just say something that will make my baby happy."
"Baby, I recognized you right away. Everyone here knows that I, Baili Xiyao, have always been strong-willed. Ever since I was born, I've vaguely known that all my efforts were for the purpose of meeting someone. To meet that person, I wanted to bring them into my fold, protect them, pamper them, and indulge them, allowing them to soar freely under my wings. So, I had to become strong, so strong that no one could defeat me."
"After meeting you, I knew that the person I had been waiting for had appeared. Apart from the joy of meeting you, I felt more regret. I regretted not being able to go to Licheng earlier, and regretted not being able to lure you into my golden nest of Baili Xiyao earlier."
I regret having agreed to those untrustworthy gods, causing the treasure I had protected for a thousand years to suffer so much. It was me who broke my promise.
Whenever he thought of this, Baili Xiyao felt distressed. Looking at He Mozhao's tearful eyes, he raised his hand to touch his handsome face and stroked the corners of his eyes.
"Baby, I can't say sweet words, but what I want to tell you is that no matter in the past or present life, I have been sure since the first time I saw you that from now on, you will never step into anyone else's territory except me. In this life and the next, you will be mine."
He Mozhao was quite moved by what he heard earlier, but Baili Xiyao suddenly said something that only appeared in novels. His domineering look was a bit childish and a bit... funny.
