Xia Shixun called him and told him that the secretly arranged engagement was cancelled.

Xia Yansi's thoughts suddenly went back to that afternoon when Xia Shixun asked him in the study whether he liked Xia Linan and whether he was willing to marry her.

At that moment, Xia Yansi's heart almost jumped out of his body. He was nervous and excited at the same time.

He repeated the words "I do" in his mind thousands of times and simulated it even more times, but in the end, Xia Shixun shattered all his fantasies.

Xia Yansi was given a dream, but he woke up quickly. The past ten years seemed to be a dream. He was intoxicated when he fell asleep and heartbroken when he woke up.

Xia Yansi stared blankly ahead, unable to find a word to accurately describe his current mood.

At Xia's house, Xia Shixun felt a little melancholy after hanging up the phone.

At this time, Zhou Linlang came up and knocked on the study door. She opened the door and saw Xia Shixun's figure hidden in the dim light. She said nothing, walked in, put her hands on Xia Shixun's shoulders, and gave him strength.

After Xia Shixun calmed down, he raised his hand and gently patted the back of Zhou Linlang's hand.

This too shall pass and the scars shall heal.

Xia Linan reluctantly put on the dress prepared that day. It was a bright red strapless evening dress. The peony embroidery on it made Xia Linan's pretty little face even more delicate and charming.

She went downstairs holding up her skirt and saw that Zhou Linlang and Xia Shixun had already changed their clothes and were ready, just waiting for her.

Xia Linan stood in front of the two of them. The father and daughter looked at each other in silence. Zhou Linlang pinched Xia Shixun's arm.

Xia Shixun was awkward for a while before he slowly said, "Your brother is already on his way to the banquet hall. He has to accompany the company's VIPs to negotiate tonight. You should stop messing around with him."

The implication is very clear. Xia Shixun means that Xia Linan no longer needs to be Xia Yansi's female companion.

Xia Lin'an was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to react. She widened her eyes in shock and looked at her father in disbelief, but the latter avoided her sight.

Then Xia Linan looked at her mother again, and Zhou Linlang smiled and nodded, confirming her guess.

Xia Lin'an opened his mouth wide with joy, his face full of excitement, and he almost shouted out loud.

She can be with Fu Yiming openly tonight!

The change happened so fast that it was unbelievable.

Seeing Xia Linan's overreaction, Xia Shixun covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then said in a serious tone, "Let's go."

Xia Lin'an immediately put aside his past grudges and stepped forward to hold Xia Shixun's other arm. Xia Shixun's lips curled up into an irrepressible, doting smile.

Xia Shixun held his wife with one hand and his daughter with the other, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face that had not been seen for a long time.

When the family of three stood at the door of the banquet hall, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.

Xia Lin'an's eyes were eagerly searching for Fu Yiming's figure, and then she saw the most dazzling person in the crowd, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

Fu Yiming looked back as if he had telepathic connection with Xia Linan, and their eyes met in the air.

Fu Yiming looked at the woman with beautiful makeup, wearing a red dress, and smiling faintly, but looking more beautiful and noble than anyone else. A warm current surged in his heart, his brows softened, and he looked at her from a distance.

There were many people around, but they only had eyes for each other.

Wherever I look, it's you.

Xia Lin'an's heart suddenly beat violently, and these words of love emerged in her mind.

Xia Yansi, who was chatting with someone not far away, saw Xia Shixun and the others coming, so he turned around and said a few words to his partners, then walked over here.

His eyes were always on the woman with the bright little face, but the woman's eyes were always looking elsewhere.

To be precise, her eyes were always on the man in the center of the field, and the man was also looking at her.

Xia Yansi suddenly felt bitter in his heart, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

"Dad, Mom, An An." Xia Yansi looked at the people in front of him and called out one by one.

Xia Shixun looked at the young man in a black suit in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This annual meeting was very well organized, not bad."

Xia Yansi lowered his eyes humbly and said nothing.

Xia Shixun said to him, "Go and greet the others. Don't neglect the distinguished guest."

Xia Yansi nodded and left.

As soon as Xia Yansi left, the man in the center of the field walked over here.

Xia Lin'an watched him walk towards her step by step, as if he was stepping on the tip of her heart, making her heart tremble.

When Fu Yiming stood one step away from them, Xia Lin'an's eyelashes trembled slightly.

When Xia Shixun and Zhou Linlang saw Fu Yiming standing in front of them, their expressions were a little stunned.

"Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia, good evening." Fu Yiming greeted the two elders politely.

Zhou Linlang looked back at him gently and said with a smile, "Yiming, good evening." She lightly tapped Xia Shixun's clothes with her fingers, giving him a crazy hint.

No matter how much Xia Shixun disliked the man who stole his daughter, he could not offend the younger man in public, otherwise it would seem that he, as an elder, had no magnanimity.

Xia Shixun cleared his throat and said in a sophisticated manner, "Good evening. An'an, he has come all the way here. As a member of the Xia family, you should take him for a walk around the neighborhood and show your hospitality."

Xia Lin'an's drooping eyes immediately widened as he looked into Fu Yiming's eyes, catching the moment when the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

"Let's go say hello to others." Xia Shixun took Zhou Linlang away, leaving the two juniors there.

Xia Linan and Fu Yiming standing together were the focus of the entire audience.

Seeing Xia Shixun and Zhou Linlang walking towards the crowd, one or two old friends came up to greet them: "Old Xia, I haven't seen you for a few weeks. You've made a lot of money again!"

Xia Shixun smiled modestly and said, "It's all thanks to the employees."

Someone saw Xia Linan and Fu Yiming standing together and asked curiously, "Old Xia, is that Xiaoan's boyfriend?"

The smile on Xia Shixun's face froze for a moment, and then he showed a polite smile.

Zhou Linlang continued, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you with these two little kids."

Then I heard the old friend say with admiration: "The young man is good, well-spoken, has many insights, and is really a good-looking man. Xiao An has really found a great boyfriend."

Then another person echoed, "Yes, yes, not only is he handsome, he is also capable, and most importantly, he is loyal. So many girls tried to flirt with him just now, but he never responded. It was not until your daughter showed up that he stared at her without blinking."
