People who click easily fall into conversation. Zhuzhu was taken outside to play by Nuonuo.
Ji Changning seemed like a cold beauty who was difficult to get along with, but after a long conversation, it turned out she was just a funny woman pretending to be strong.
“Ali,” a childish female voice called out.
Shen Qingli stood up, “Anning.”
“My brother asked me to find you. Grandfather is over there,” Huo Anning said.
The beautiful girl in front of her subtly glanced at Xu Chunian.
Hearing this, Shen Qingli’s expression changed, “Niannian, I’ll introduce you two later. I have to go now. I’ll come find you later.”
“Okay.”
“Is that someone from the Huo family?” Ji Changning curiously asked.
“The Huo family?”
Ji Changning nodded, “Yes, the youngest of the Huo family, I think her name is Huo Anning.”
“Why does she call Ali…?”
“Why does she call Ali…?”
“Ali is her…”
“Sister,” a male voice interrupted the two women’s conversation.
Before Xu Chunian could turn around, the man sat down beside her.
Xu Chunian practically jumped up in an instant.
Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Miss Xu?”
“Excuse me, I’m a little sensitive to perfume smells.”
Perhaps because she had been surrounded by those women for too long, Qin Yuan’s approach carried a mixture of several perfume scents.
Hearing this, Qin Yuan was stunned.
“A Yuan,” Ji Changning lowered her eyes.
Xu Chunian sensed the unusual atmosphere between the two and found an excuse to slip away, “Changning, I’m going to the restroom.”
“Wait, I’ll go with you.”
“Ah.” Xu Chunian glanced at Qin Yuan’s expression.
The two, under the pretense of going to the restroom, went outside the banquet hall.
“Is that your brother?” Xu Chunian curiously asked, “You two don’t look alike at all.”
“He’s not.” Ji Changning took a sip of her drink, “Qin Yuan’s father is my stepfather.”
She smiled at Xu Chunian, “Sorry, my husband doesn’t like me being with other men.”
“It’s okay.”
Ji Changning turned to her, “I heard they say you like Qin Yuan. It doesn’t seem very reliable, looking at this.”
“Have you met Jiang Huaixu?”
Ji Changning nodded, waiting for her to continue.
“I like that type,” Xu Chunian said softly, her voice carried away by the wind, “Always have.”
Ji Changning laughed, her gaze falling on the distance, “It’s okay, there were rumors years ago that I liked Qin Yuan too.”
Xu Chunian was startled, “Is Qin Yuan some kind of disaster? Just being close to him makes you like him.”
Ji Changning’s smile became strained.
“Ningning, what are you doing here?” a deep and powerful voice called out.
Xu Chunian turned her head, her eyes widening in an instant. The man was tall and exuded a strong, masculine aura, his rugged face slightly dark.
Beside her, Ji Changning had already pounced over, instantly transforming into a doting wife. “Husband!”
“You said you wouldn’t come back, didn’t you?”
Si Chen firmly caught her, “Are you happy?”
“Absolutely thrilled!” Ji Changning nuzzled against him, making the iron man’s heart soften.
“By the way,” she introduced the others.
Along with Si Chen came Jiang Huaixu and Mu Bai.
From the moment Jiang Huaixu entered, he appeared somewhat dazed.
“Where’s Nuonuo?”
“Off playing.”
Si Chen squeezed her hand, “Mom and Dad are here; let’s go inside.”
“Niannian, I’m leaving first. Remember to invite me next time.”
“Sure.”
The two of them began to display their affection without a care, “Do Mom and Dad know you’re back?”
“I came to find you as soon as I could.”
“Really?”
“Really.” The man nodded, “I even saw you talking to other men.”
“Uh, you must have seen it wrong.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
