"Didn't you say half an hour? How long have I been waiting for you?"
"I didn't ask you to wait for me."
"ungrateful."
"I didn't ask you to wait for me, but you insisted on waiting and then blamed me for being unpunctual. Brother, do you think he's acting like that?"
Xiang Nanzhi held Shen Shixun with one arm and Xiang Jingyi with the other.
Xiang Jing smiled and said, "Alright, let's go in. We've been waiting for you."
"Is Dad happy?"
"When is he ever unhappy?"
"Sister Su Lan, let's go in together."
When Xiang Nanzhi saw Su Lan standing outside, she was wearing a white suit and had cut her hair short at some point. She looked less charming and more capable.
"Zhizhi, you go first, I'm not in a hurry."
Watching the figures of the group disappear into the distance, Su Lan was lost in thought.
Despite dating her for so long, Xiang Jingyi has never allowed her to hold her hand in public.
The previous auction incident is over, but many people still gossip about it behind Xiang Nanzhi's back, talking about the Xiang family. Of course, they dare not say it openly today, after all, it is Xiang Zhengyi's birthday banquet.
Shen Shixun, dressed in a suit, absolutely refused to come to this kind of occasion, but Xiang Nanzhi insisted that he come.
Even after arriving and being stared at by so many people, he still felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't give them a single glance and stood silently beside Xiang Nanzhi.
Xiang Nanzhi handed him a glass of wine. The man took it and smelled it. He had a high nose bridge and dark skin, but he had an inexplicable sexiness.
Shen Shixun took a small sip in front of her, and Xiang Nanzhi was also a little tempted. "I really want to get drunk with you."
"After you give birth, you can drink as much as you want, I'll be there for you."
As darkness fell, the lights on the island flickered on and off, and the reflection of the birthday banquet appeared on the lake.
At the outermost edge, Song Duocai and Zhou Lan arrived late, having prepared gifts to celebrate Xiang Zhengyi's birthday.
Ever since Song Ze got into trouble, Xiang Zhengyi has almost completely cut off all contact with the Song family. Now that they've finally found an opportunity, they're definitely going to try and strike up a conversation with Xiang Zhengyi.
They were stopped at the door. "Do you have an invitation?"
"What invitation?"
"Excuse me, you cannot enter without an invitation. Please..."
The woman who greeted them made a very polite gesture. Zhou Lan twitched her lips. "Hey, do you know who we are?"
"I don't know who you are, but you can't come in without an invitation."
“My son is Song Ze, your Miss Xiang’s ex-boyfriend and fiancé. They almost got married. I almost became in-laws with Mr. Xiang.”
Ma Xiaorong had just finished her work and was sitting outside drinking when she heard a sound at the door. She came over and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhou Lan narrowed her eyes slightly upon seeing her, "It's you again?"
"Yes, what a coincidence, Mrs. Song, it's me again."
"Sister Rong, they said..."
"I heard everything, Mr. Song, Mrs. Song. I'm so sorry, but our son-in-law is inside, so it's really inconvenient to let you in. I guess that's why we sent the invitation to Mr. Xiang."
"If you two really want to celebrate Mr. Xiang's birthday, there's no need to go inside. How about I pour you two a couple of drinks to try? To share in the joy..."
"Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"
"I'm so sorry..."
Upon hearing that Shen Shixun was also inside, the two of them were no longer so eager to go in.
"Is Xiang Zhengyi senile? How dare he invite someone like that in to embarrass himself?"
"There's nothing the Xiang family can't do now."
——
Shen Shixun sat next to the woman. He had drunk some wine and was a little tipsy.
Xiang Nanzhi's skirt shimmered under the light, and the woman leaned back in her chair, her hair falling loosely.
Exquisite makeup, a small face, and slightly parted red lips.
The host on stage was speaking, and he almost didn't hear what Xiang Nanzhi was saying. The man frowned, "What gift?"
Xiang Nanzhi didn't say anything more, but just looked at the stage.
The emerald bracelet in Xiang Zhengyi's hand was exceptionally eye-catching.
It's all Xiang Ciyuan's fault. He accidentally saw her making a bracelet last time and went to tell his father that she had been busy making him a birthday present. Xiang Zhengyi then assumed that it was really for him.
I specifically told her not to work so hard, that she didn't need the gift, but she must take care of her health.
She had already picked out the antiques for Xiang Zhengyi, and even specifically asked Master Zhou to buy them at a low price, but it turned out she'd gotten them for nothing...
She had no choice but to give this gift.
"Anyway, remember, I owe you a gift."
Shen Shixun met her eyes, completely unaware of what she was saying, and assumed that the gift she was referring to was herself.
She was pregnant and her body was inconvenient. After he touched her once, he dared not touch her again. Xiang Nanzhi was also afraid. Most of the time, when the two slept together, they simply hugged each other. Their relationship was as pure as it could be.
Su Lan arranged for each camera to be positioned at the correct angle, capturing the lively and bustling atmosphere of the banquet.
This is an opportunity that others would kill for.
Xiang Zhengyi was surrounded by a group of business associates offering him drinks, while bodyguards stood not far away, ready to rush over and protect the boss's safety at the slightest movement from Xiang Zhengyi.
Xiang Ciyuan and Xiang Jingyi were tired of this kind of occasion, so after going around once, they found a place to sit down.
"Brother, I'm going to rest for a bit and sober up."
"Um."
Xiang Ciyuan had drunk a bit too much, so he found a place to wash his face and was about to go back to the hall to sit down and rest when Jiang Yao came over with a wine glass.
Xiang Ciyuan hadn't expected to encounter Jiang Yao in this situation. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his disgust for the woman growing even stronger.
