Chapter 168 On the Birthday Banquet



The implication was that she was doing something unnecessary.

Gu Nianqiang bit her lip, her pretty face slightly stiff.

She pursed her lips and gave Fu Nanxiao a wronged look.

Jiang Yilai actually humiliated her in public like that!

She hoped that Fu Nanxiao would speak up for her.

But Fu Nanxiao seemed not to see it. He glanced out of the crowd and said calmly, "Your brother is back. You can go over now."

Gu Nianqiang's face turned pale.

The person who had just been fawning over him finally realized what was going on and quickly apologized with a beaming smile: "I'm so sorry, I mistook you for someone else, Mrs. Fu. You and Mr. Fu are a perfect match."

After he finished speaking, a group of people echoed his sentiments.

Gu Nianqiang felt so frustrated she wanted to scream.

She felt that the gazes directed at her were full of mockery, sarcasm, and schadenfreude...

Gu Nianqiang's cheeks flushed red as she pushed through the crowd and walked away quickly.

Watching her retreating figure, Jiang Yilai's anger finally subsided a little.

But when she turned to look at Fu Nanxiao, who seemed completely unaffected and calm, she felt a surge of anger.

The culprit is this man!

Jiang Yilai, for some unknown reason, suddenly twisted Fu Nanxiao's arm while holding his hand—

Fu Nanxiao's muscles tensed instantly.

He glanced at Jiang Yilai.

Jiang Yilai immediately chickened out.

Jiang Yilai quickly let go of his hand, looking left and right but refusing to look at him, appearing guilty.

Her scalp tingled with fear, terrified that Fu Nanxiao would punish her in public.

But after waiting for a long time, the expected scolding and pain did not occur.

Jiang Yilai couldn't help but look up at him, only to see Fu Nanxiao's cold profile, but there seemed to be a hint of a smile between his brows.

She was a little confused.

Why does he seem so happy even though he's been pinched?

The banquet officially began, and everyone looked towards the stage.

After the Jin family finished offering their blessings to Old Master Jin, and after Old Master Jin finished speaking, the formal ceremony was considered complete.

Jiang Yilai saw Jin Zisong standing obediently behind Grandpa Jin, greeting the guests with a smile on his face.

He was very different from his usual unserious self at this moment.

As Jiang Yilai was looking around, Fu Nanxiao suddenly led her in that direction.

At this moment, everyone was gathered around the Jin family, but they all consciously made way for Fu Nanxiao.

Fu Nanxiao led Jiang Yilai inside, under everyone's gaze.

"Grandpa Jin, may you enjoy a long and prosperous life, like the sun and moon shining brightly, and may you live as long as the pine and crane."

He and Jin Zisong were good friends, so he called him "Grandpa" along with them.

The Jin family quickly expressed their gratitude.

Grandpa Jin chuckled and chatted with Fu Nanxiao for a few moments before turning his gaze to Jiang Tingyan.

The old man asked, "Nanxiao, what is this?"

Jiang Tingyan always felt that as long as she appeared at the banquet with Fu Nanxiao, they would become the focus of everyone's attention.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

I wonder how Fu Nanxiao will introduce her.

Her thoughts were in turmoil.

Fu Nanxiao probably wouldn't admit that she's his wife, right?

Just as she was thinking this, her hand was suddenly grasped.

Fu Nanxiao glanced down at her, his calm, deep voice saying, "This is my wife, Jiang Yilai."

A sudden ripple occurred in the banquet hall.

The fact that he formally introduced her to the Jin family shows that he acknowledges her as his wife, and at least keeps her in his heart!

A mix of emotions welled up inside Jiang Yilai, a mixture of surprise, sweetness, and worry...

But more than anything, it was a pleasant surprise.

"Mr. Fu, you and your wife are such a perfect match!"

"Mrs. Fu, let's go shopping together sometime."

"Mrs. Fu..."
