Huo Yichen’s birthday was just around the corner, and this was the first birthday he had celebrated since returning to the Huo Family and taking control of the Huo Corporation.
Although he had no intention of holding a big event, be it Murong Qiao or the butler, Huo Feng, they all had a grand att.i.tude towards this birthday.
At least from the number of invitations sent out, this banquet was the most grand one the Huo Family had held in recent years.
There was still some time before the banquet started at night, but Murong Qiao was already measuring the gowns in front of the mirror, thinking about how to match them to look good.
“You’ve been trying them on for more than an hour.” The butler, Uncle Yang, stood at the side and smiled helplessly.
Although he was smiling, Uncle Yang’s face was also filled with joy.
Murong Qiao spun around happily and replied, “But it’s still so difficult to choose.”
“Uncle Yang, can you help me get the coral pink piece?” It was not convenient for her to free her hands.
Uncle Yang naturally followed her lead and brought over the dress that Murong Qiao had specified.
“Are you done—” Someone suddenly knocked on the door and Xian Yu’s voice came from outside.
Seeing Murong Qiao enter the fitting room again, Uncle Yang could only answer Xian Yu himself.
“Young Miss is still choosing clothes, Fifth Young Master.”
Xian Yu was not in a hurry. When he found out, he replied and turned to go downstairs.
There were a rare number of people in the Murong Residence.
After knowing that Huo Yichen’s birthday party would be held in the Huo Family, the five brothers of the Murong Family put down what they were doing and returned together, preparing to go with their Little Sister.
After all, they had just announced their engagement not long ago. They couldn’t not take it seriously.
About 20 minutes after Xian Yu went up to ask, Murong Qiao finally chose a mermaid curved dress. She wore a long, milky pink fishtail dress and went downstairs leisurely. She got into the car to the banquet with her Big Brothers.
Because there were too many people, they were divided into two cars.
Among them, Murong Qiao, Xian Yu, and Yan Xiu sat in the second car, and the first three brothers were in the first car.
Murong Qiao held her cell phone nervously and sent a message to Huo Yichen as the car drove off. From time to time, she would look at the scenery outside the window.
This action attracted Xian Yu’s attention. He glanced at Yan Xiu, who seemed to be taking a nap in the front seat, and decided to find someone to chat with to diffuse the quiet atmosphere in the car.
“Why? Are you nervous?” Xian Yu stretched out his arm and rebuked his Little Sister.
Murong Qiao chuckled. “A little.”
Speaking of which, strictly speaking, this was the first time she had celebrated Huo Yichen’s birthday.
Previously, time had pa.s.sed unknowingly when they were in school. Now that they were suddenly here, Murong Qiao really didn’t know what to say when she looked back at the paths she and Huo Yichen had walked together.
But she didn’t know what to say. It didn’t matter. She would continue walking with Huo Yichen.
“I think there must be someone more nervous than you now.” Xian Yu was half-joking.
Murong Qiao was only focused on what was on her mind. When she suddenly heard Xian Yu say this, she was still in a daze. After being stunned for a second or two, she belatedly threw her gaze at Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu was not really asleep. “Your mouth is sharp.”
“Hehe.” Xian Yu laughed foolishly.
This time, Yan Xiu directly took out the earplugs and put them on himself, clearly showing what it meant to have an independent small world.
He had never liked to attend such banquets and social occasions, but he would definitely go for his Little Sister. However, on the way there, Yan Xiu still wanted to enjoy a rare moment of silence.
On the other hand, Murong Qiao felt much more relaxed after hearing Xian Yu’s words.
Everyone chatted for a while before finally arriving at the Huo Family’s house half an hour later.
She recalled that the last time she came to the Huo Family was when she came to see Huo Hong. That time, in order to help Huo Yichen escape, she even spoke up to anger him.
At that time, the Huo Family was filled with the aura of time. What left the deepest impression on Murong Qiao was the feeling of history settling down, ancient, solemn, and grand.
However, it was different today. The house in front of her was brightly lit. Even in the dark night, it still stood there wantonly. From afar, it showed its huge presence to every guest who arrived.
The car slowly slowed down and drove past the open door, gradually catching a glimpse of the mansion’s entrance.
Because he had received the news of Murong Qiao’s departure in advance, Huo Yichen was already waiting at the door when he saw the car arrive.
He was undoubtedly the one who attracted attention.
He was an existence that could be seen at first glance in the crowd. He only needed to stand quietly to be moved. No matter when or where she saw him, even after countless days and nights, Murong Qiao would still smile when she saw him.
Naturally, the Murong family was not the only guest. Many people had just arrived. When they got out of the car and saw Huo Yichen standing at the door, they couldn’t help but go up to talk to him.
But no matter who it was, they would be sent away after a few words. Huo Yichen looked at the door intently until he saw Murong Qiao before walking over.
Those steps were filled with impatience that ordinary people could see.
“Be careful.” Huo Yichen opened the car door for her and reached out for Murong Qiao to hold his hand.
Murong Qiao pursed her lips and smiled. She picked up her dress and carefully got out of the car.
The moment Huo Yichen held her hand and she walked out of the car, Murong Qiao almost felt everyone’s gazes on her. It was like a spotlight, making her the center of attention.
“It’s so cold outside. Why are you waiting for me?” Murong Qiao said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
It would have been fine if it was any other time, but he had to wear a formal suit at the banquet today. Looking at Huo Yichen’s suit, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but worry.
Huo Yichen shook his head. “You’re the only protagonist in my heart.”
Although it was his birthday, nothing was as important to him as Murong Qiao.
She would always be the most special one.
Murong Qiao blushed at these words. At this moment, the people in the other cars also got out. Murong Qiao, Huo Yichen, and the Big Brothers walked in together.
At this moment, the banquet was already filled with toasts. The light that was like broken diamonds softened the entire front hall, illuminating the smiles on everyone’s faces.
The soothing music played in the background, calming people’s emotions.
It had been a while since the Huo Family changed owners, so this special banquet had become a socializing venue.
Many people were here to probe the thoughts of the new head of the Huo Family. At this moment, they were raising their wine gla.s.ses in twos and threes and chatting from time to time, but their gazes were all looking in the direction of the door.
Unfortunately, before they could probe, everyone was stuffed with dog food.
The two people who were like the sun, moon, and stars walked into everyone’s vision from the door. The moment they entered, they attracted almost everyone’s attention.
Huo Yichen’s slightly western-style attire made him look like an elegant and n.o.ble prince. Every step he took seemed to step on the hearts of the girls, as their hearts beat wildly.
The mermaid curves matched Murong Qiao very well. It wrapped around her slender and graceful figure. Coupled with the pearl brooch and other designs, it made people feel that this dress was simply tailor-made for her.
They were like a puzzle that only fit each other. They landed flawlessly together..
