Chapter 174 - Engagement Ceremony
Chapter 174 Engagement Ceremony
“Yunqi, what are you thinking? Why aren’t you talking?”
Xia Luoxin had been observing the expression on Yunqi’s face. Seeing that he was suddenly in a trance, his heart was getting more and more uneasy. However, there was still a faint smile on his face. However, the twisted fingers betrayed her current mood.
“Nothing.” Huo Yunqi replied indifferently and turned to leave.
“Yun” Xia Luoxin reached out to grab Yunqi’s arm, but only touched the cloth on his arm. Seeing him leave coldly, she suddenly felt a strong panic in her heart. “Mom …”
Wang Xiaoman was chatting with a famous lady from City A, enjoying the feeling of superiority in front of them. It was a good feeling to be Huo Yunqi’s mother-in-law.
So when she heard Charlotte’s words, she smiled complacently, “Luo Xin, what are you looking for your mother for? I’m chatting with the ladies over there!”
“Mom, I’m not at ease.” Xia Luoxin grabbed Wang Xiaoman’s arm to a secluded place and said nervously, “I always feel like something is going to happen. Do you think Yunqi doesn’t want to get engaged to me at all?”
Wang Xiaoman was shocked by Charlotte’s words and nervously asked, “Don’t you want to get engaged? Did Yunqi say something to you? Did he tell you that he didn’t want to get engaged?”
“No.” Xia Luoxin shook her head. “I guessed it myself. I always felt that something was wrong.”
After hearing this, Wang Xiaoman patted her chest and let out a long breath, “You scared me to death … The engagement is such a big matter, why would you cancel it just because of good reason? You’re overthinking it!”
She had just gained face in front of those noble ladies. If she really canceled now, wouldn’t she be embarrassed to the point of losing face at home?
“Hopefully …” Xia Luoxin replied irritably. “You can go over first and be quiet here alone for a while.”
Perhaps Mom was right. How could such a big engagement be a joke? Moreover, Huo Yunqi had personally proposed this engagement. There shouldn’t be any accidents
Xia Luoxin pursed her lips and said, “No, I definitely won’t …”
“Dingdong ~ Dingdong!”
Suddenly, the phone rang. Xia Luobing was so shocked that he almost threw his phone out. After a while, he took out his phone and saw an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment and answered, “Hello, may I ask who you are?”
“Charlotte, plotting to kill her sister and steal her brother-in-law, isn’t that good?” A mocking voice came over the phone, and a cold aura instantly wrapped around Xia Luoxin. “Do you think Huo Yunqi would react if he found out about this?”
“You, who are you?” Xia Luoxin’s eyes widened and his voice trembled. The expression on his face became somewhat ferocious because he was shocked, as if he wished he could pull the person who spoke out of his phone immediately.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is what you did.” The woman continued, her voice filled with threats. “Since you’ve done it, you have to pay the price!”
“You, you’re Xia Luobing?” Charlotte panicked, but quickly denied it, “No, you’re not Xia Luobing, you’re definitely not her! Tell me, who are you?!”
Because of Huo Yunqi, she did not like Xia Luobing, but she knew very well in her heart that Xia Luobing would never do such a mysterious and secret thing according to her personality. She would rather rush over and slap her twice.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that I know what you’ve done.”
After saying that, the phone was hung up, but Xia Luoxin’s mind was filled with the woman’s words. Her entire body instantly turned cold, and her teeth couldn’t help but tremble.
That matter, she did it flawlessly, how could she be discovered … Impossible, absolutely impossible
Xia Luoxin was in a hurry to call back, but her phone was stiff and mechanical, “Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off …”
“Damn it!” Charlotte smashed her phone angrily and pursed her lips tightly. Who knew about this
“Luo Xin, why are you here alone?” Liu Yan walked over and saw the phone that was thrown onto the grass by Xia Luoxin. She frowned unhappily, “Why are you so angry? Don’t you want to get engaged to Yunqi?”
The main reason she accepted Xia Luoxin was because she felt that Xia Luoxin’s personality was soft and easy to handle, and her expression immediately turned bad when she saw her lose her temper.
Charlotte also realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly bent down and picked up her phone. She looked around and whispered a few words to Liu Yan. Then, she worriedly said, “Auntie, what should we do now?”
Liu Yan frowned and said, “I also received a phone call
Hearing Liu Yan’s words, Xia Luoxin jumped. The expression on her face became more and more nervous. She even ignored the surprised look in others’ eyes and impulsively held Liu Yan’s hand. “Auntie, what should we do? What should we do?”
“What are you panicking about!” Liu Yan glanced at Charlotte angrily. “We only notified the gangsters of Charlotte’s identity. She didn’t hide herself, so what does it have to do with us?”
Xia Luoxin’s face turned pale. Only she knew that this was not what Liu Yan had said. She secretly had someone find the little star that the gang had kidnapped and intentionally lured Xia Luobing over
She thought that she didn’t know what she was doing, but she didn’t expect that a pair of eyes would actually see all her small movements in her eyes … damn it, really damn it!
“But what if Yunqi …”
“There’s no chance!” Liu Yan glared at Xia Luoxin angrily. “You’d better think about it clearly. If Yunqi really knows about this, you won’t be able to marry him!”
Xia Luoxin trembled as she hurriedly nodded, “Auntie, I know. I will definitely keep it a secret. I won’t say anything. I will definitely!”
Only then did Liu Yan nod her head in satisfaction and turn around to greet the new guests.
There was no trace of panic or fear on Xia Luoxin’s face. She pursed her lips complacently. With Liu Yan as cover, things would be much easier.
The engagement ceremony was arranged at ten in the morning. Charlotte took a glance at it. It was still ten minutes away, so she quickly tidied up her clothes and walked over slowly with a noble and generous smile on her face.
Xia Luobing was already dead. Regardless of whether it was now or in the future, Huo Yunqi would only belong to her!
Huo Yunqi held a goblet in one hand and a trouser pocket in the other. He glanced at Xia Luoxin and quickly moved his eyes away. He continued to look in the direction of the door. There were still ten minutes left. Will she come?
Bing Bing, you must not disappoint me, disappoint Duo Duo!
Charlotte looked at the luxury villa across the street from the black car parked in the corner garden and said with a curl of her lips, “Is he really holding an engagement ceremony inside?”
“Yes.” Nanxi nodded. “On the lawn in the courtyard, it’s ten o’clock this morning, so you still have five minutes.”
Xia Luobing pursed his lips, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and smiled bitterly, “How could she lose his memory …”
However, even so, she knew that the man in the villa was indeed someone she loved deeply, because at this moment, her heart was very painful and sad, as if she was going to lose something or someone of special importance
“If you really don’t want to go, we’ll leave.” Lin Chen casually tossed a sentence over with a complacent expression, “There are many good men in the world.”
After saying that, Lin Chen meaningfully glanced at South Stream. He really couldn’t understand this guy. He had clearly missed Xia Luobing for so many years, but why was he still urging her to cause a big ruckus for another man’s engagement ceremony?
“Lin Chen, a business in Africa needs a leader. Otherwise, you can go there.” Nanxi said indifferently, his calm voice filled with threats.
The corner of Lin Chen’s mouth twitched. At the same time, he silently closed his mouth and made a tearing motion. Finally, he concentrated on studying the steering wheel, trying to reduce his presence.
He knew that this fellow Nanxi had always been able to do what he said, so for his own safety, it was better for him to stay honest.
“I’ll go over.” Xia Luobing pursed her lips and said with a serious expression, “Didn’t you say that I have a daughter?”
No matter who the man is engaged to, she will definitely take her daughter away.
Nanxi nodded, “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
Hearing this, Lin Chen put his head on the steering wheel and said weakly, “Too weak. I can only wait for you here.”
Unless it was a firefight, it would be a piece of cake to bring a little girl out according to Nan Xi’s methods. Moreover, he felt that Nan Xi should be given more chances to perform. What if Xia Luobing was touched
Nanxi glanced at the smile on Lin Chen’s face. His eyes flashed as he pushed open the car door and got off the car. He crossed the road with Xia Luobing and headed for the villa opposite him.
As she got closer and closer to the villa, the uneasiness in Xia Luobing’s heart grew stronger and stronger. Her heart ached and she wanted to run away immediately, but another voice in her heart was so overbearing that she could not retreat.
“Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Feeling the strength on his shoulder, Xia Luobing turned his head to look at Nanxi and smiled. “Why do I feel like you seem so kind?”
South Stream gave her a very strange feeling. She seemed to have known her for a few lifetimes, but after searching through all her memories, she still couldn’t find any information about South Stream, so she felt even more strange.
“Really? Looks like we have a lot of destiny.” Nanxi smiled and helped Xia Luobing dodge the car while looking at her with a faint smile.
Sure enough, no matter how much he changed, she could still feel him. This was really good.
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth and couldn’t say a word. Nanxi couldn’t help but laugh at his speechless expression.
“We’re here. Let’s go in.” Nan Xi looked at the arched flower gate and encouraged Xia Luobing with his gaze, “No matter what happens, I will always be there.”
Xia Luobing used to protect him, but now it was finally his turn to take care of her. He liked this feeling very much. Adj. Adj. Adj
The large lawn was filled with flowers and people in suits and shoes. They all looked at the two people at the front with envy and joy. Xia Luobing followed everyone’s line of sight and felt his brain rumble as if something was about to rush out of his head.
“Are you alright?” Seeing that Xia Luobing’s expression was not good, Nan Xi asked worriedly, “Do you want to see a doctor first? I can handle things here.”
Charlotte gently shook her head, “No need.”
At this moment, she really believed that Yunqi Huo was her husband, because just looking at him made her heart ache.
Huo Yunqi and Xia Luoxin stood side by side. Compared to Xia Luoxin’s shy and timid smile, Huo Yunqi’s face was frosty. However, because his usual expression was the same, no one could probe into his thoughts.
“Today is the engagement ceremony between Mr. Huo Yunqi and Miss Xia Luoxin. Everyone is very welcome to attend the engagement ceremony of the two newlyweds. Next, Mr. Huo and Miss Xia …”
“Daddy, don’t you want mommy anymore?”
