Birthday party
After Lu Heng finished speaking, the crowd became noticeably agitated, but Lu Heng had already pulled Bai Xindi to a corner, so they could only vaguely hear Bai Xinning talking to the crowd before the noise gradually disappeared.
Neither of them cared much about this. Lu Heng simply picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, then spoke uncertainly.
"Am I right?"
Bai Xindi showed no expression, but he also picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, then sneered.
"She's so brave."
Lu Heng looked at Bai Xindie. He shouldn't think like that. Perhaps he should be happy because his marriage partner is the one he likes.
Seeing Lu Heng staring at her in a daze, Bai Xindi guessed what Lu Heng was thinking and spoke up to expose it.
"Lu Heng, I know you like me."
Lu Heng, whose thoughts were exposed, did not panic, but was slightly surprised and sighed.
"I thought you didn't know."
Bai Xindi was not kidding him. Someone had to solve this farce.
"Listen, the person I like is Xian Qing, but you don't know the person you like, Chen Xi."
Lu Heng retorted a little excitedly.
“Who likes her!”
"It's you I like."
Otherwise, Lu Heng would be considered a fool, Bai Xindi said bluntly.
"You may not have realized that you like Chen Xi more than you like me."
Lu Heng didn't refute, but took another glass of wine and started drinking.
Seeing this, Bai Xindi continued speaking.
"Remember, you added her contact information because of your car. If you really liked me, you wouldn't put your car before mine. After all, you're not short of money. That's the first point."
"Secondly, I don't know what happened between you and Shen Xi that day, but when you thought about asking me or Xian Qing for help, you already didn't like me."
"Third, don't think I don't know you're secretly concerned about Shen Xi. We're all adults, and only love would make you cautious."
After saying this, Bai Xindi took a sip of wine and spoke helplessly.
"Lu Heng, follow your heart. To be honest, I don't feel your affection."
Lu Heng still didn't say anything, and Bai Xindie was not in a hurry. She just told him the idea that he himself hadn't even realized yet.
About five minutes later, Lu Heng compromised and said.
"Bai Xindi, you are right."
"but."
Lu Heng lowered his head somewhat disappointedly and spoke helplessly.
"But Shen Xi said she never wanted to see me again and she started crying. I didn't know what to do."
Bai Xindi raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the situation was more complicated than she thought, but this was not the problem to be solved right now.
Bai Xindi glanced in the direction of Bai Xinning, then spoke seriously to Lu Heng.
"Lu Heng, you have to do me a favor now."
"No, help me two."
Lu Heng raised his head quickly, perhaps understanding, and spoke without hesitation.
"Okay, how do we do that?"
......
"Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
After discussing the countermeasures, the two waited for the opportunity.
About ten minutes later, all the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed, leaving only a beam of light shining on Uncle Lu.
Bai Xindi immediately gave Lu Heng a look, and Lu Heng quickly ran to his father and spoke first.
"Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate Lu Heng's birthday. Lu Heng is very grateful."
"At the same time, Lu Heng also wants to say something important."
Uncle Lu looked at Lu Heng, not knowing what this boy was going to do.
Bai Xinning's eyes in the audience immediately became excited, and then she began to look for Bai Xindi.
Little did she know that as soon as she found Bai Xindie, she discovered that Bai Xindie was looking at her with a ridiculous look.
Bai Xinning smiled slightly, thinking that Bai Xindie was just showing off, then turned to look at Lu Heng, waiting for him to say the next word.
"This matter is about my engagement with Bai Xindi, the third daughter of the Bai family."
"This is hereby voided and will never take effect!"
After saying that, Lu Heng immediately ran out of everyone's sight.
When Uncle Lu realized what his son had said, he was so angry that he almost fainted. The situation at the Bai family was not much better, especially Bai Xinning, who still had a smile on her face that was about to show its true colors, and she was forcing herself to explain to each of the elders.
The scene was chaotic for a while, and the two took advantage of the chaos to escape.
The two people who ran out did not leave the scene, but grabbed a waiter and opened a private room to hide in.
Lu Heng and Bai Xindi had just sat down, panting, when the door suddenly opened.
The two of them immediately looked towards the door vigilantly, and when they saw that it was Bai Jingxing, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turns out to be Brother Jingxing."
Seeing the two of them like this, Bai Jingxing sat down with doubts.
"What bad things have you two done to make you so alert?"
"That's right, Brother Jingxing, you don't know, someone wants to tie us two together!"
"I finally escaped."
Bai Xindi looked at Bai Jingxing and spoke.
"Brother, to be honest, Bai Xinning is so brave that she made the decision for me."
Bai Jingxing was just about to ask what was going on when a phone call came in. He took out his phone and saw it was Bai Xinning.
He pressed the answer button, turned on the hands-free mode, put it on the table, gestured for the two of them to be quiet, and then spoke.
"Xiao Ning, what's wrong?"
"Brother, have you been able to contact Xiaodi?"
"What happened?"
"It's okay, bro. It's just that Xiaodi was a little disobedient. I'm hanging up now."
Without waiting for Bai Jingxing to continue asking questions, Bai Xinning hung up the phone in a hurry.
Bai Jingxing looked at Lu Heng and said, "You speak first."
Lu Heng talked a lot, and Bai Xindi added to his comments.
Bai Jingxing also roughly knew what was going on. Both of them had someone they liked, and they were also forced to enter into a family marriage.
After hearing this, Bai Jingxing frowned and did not quite agree with Bai Xinning's approach. As an elder sister, she knew that her younger sister already had someone she liked, but still asked her to marry someone else.
"It's okay, I'll take care of this matter."
Now Bai Jingxing probably knows why Bai Xindie rarely comes home. As the eldest brother, he is not up to standard in educating his sister.
Bai Jingxing was worried that the two had nowhere to go, so he asked.
"Are you going back to your own home first or what?"
"Go back to your apartment!"
The two spoke in unison, easing the atmosphere.
Bai Jingxing smiled, waved his hand, and let them go.
Both of them had been drinking, and Lu Heng's car couldn't be driven, so they each took a taxi back.
.......
After returning home, their phones were ringing off the hook, but they didn't care.
Bai Xindi, sitting on the sofa, was still thinking about the photo in Bai Xinning's hand.
Although the marriage was messed up, it was Lu Heng who did it, and she never showed up. If she wanted to send the photos out, she would have to do it anonymously, but this would affect the interests and relationship of the two families. After all, the marriage had never been made public, and she should know what was more important.
Thinking of this, Bai Xindi's mood inexplicably improved.
Xian Qing came out of the kitchen and saw Bai Xindi sitting on the sofa in a daze. After putting down the plate in his hand, he spoke.
"Big star Bai, it's time to eat."
Bai Xindi responded, then stood up and skipped to Xian Qing's side. Looking at the table full of delicious food, she hugged Xian Qing and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Then he sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started to taste it.
After Xian Qing reacted to the kiss, he touched her head, looked at her with gentle eyes and spoke lovingly.
"So happy."
Bai Xindi replied, "Yes, you should sit down and eat too, it's delicious!"
Xian Qing smiled and sat down next to Bai Xindie, picking up chopsticks to help her pick up food.
......
At the same time, Lu Heng was paralyzed in his room in his apartment. After solving this matter, his family would definitely ask about it, but he didn't care.
Now he only cares about how to meet Shen Xi without disgusting her.
With the help of Bai Xindi, the two discussed a solution together.
Since Shen Xi refuses to see Lu Heng now and Bai Xindie cannot alert him, New Year's Eve is the best time to meet, but she needs the help of several other people.
Now Lu Heng was looking at the photos taken on Shen Xi’s birthday on his phone and smiling foolishly.
"Chen Xi, I really like you."
