Chapter 632 - Eyes on Eyes
"What are you in a hurry for? Your excellency has political affairs to deal with. It"s fine even if you arrive late." After old man Pei finished speaking, he pulled Pei Manlin towards an old man with a white beard. Behind this old man was an ill.u.s.trious and prestigious family, with two outstanding sons …
An important member of the country, was also a strong pillar supporting the Pavilion Lord Manor, and was also the right-hand man of a country"s leader.
"Big Brother Chu, your body is much tougher now."
"No, I"m just a few years older than you." Old Man Chu laughed out loud. He had a kind face and was an elder level figure along with Old Master Pei. He was already 90 years old this year and was about to pa.s.s through this world.
"It"s going to be a lot of fun tonight! It is also the first time that the new esteemed self has taken up the role of the national banquet, so it has an extraordinary significance! " Old Master Pei sighed.
Old Man Chu was also very emotional. He had witnessed several dynasties of change and was very confident in the country"s development.
Pei Manlin who was at the side did not have much patience or interest towards the conversation between the elders. She looked in the direction of the arena and thought to herself, why hasn"t Xi FengHan arrived yet?
Tonight was the best time for her to get close to Xi Feng Han. If she missed tonight, she would never have the chance to meet the Mrs. Xi in her entire life, so her mental state was in a state of anxiety.
After being warned by Ling Xi, no matter where he stood,"s gaze would turn to look at him from time to time. Unfortunately, Jian Xin"s gaze had always ignored him.
"Am I wearing the wrong clothes tonight? I never wear a black suit, it"s too ugly. " Ling Xi complained once, and felt that the main reason why he was ignored by Jian Xin was that his clothes were wrong.
Zhan Xiyang blew out a strand of hair, "Can you not be so unconfident?"
"I"ve decided that after the banquet ends, I must have a few words with her." Ling Xi showed an expression of not giving up.
At this moment, on the second floor, a group of bodyguards neatly stood next to a railing. As they lined up on the sidewalk, the sounds of conversation in the banquet hall immediately died down. Everyone raised their heads to look at the couple slowly descending from the grand staircase.
The man was none other than the young Sir Xi FengHan of today. He was holding the hand of a girl in an elegant white dress. They were like a pair of wall-bearers as they slowly entered the eyes of the guests.
Xi FengHan and Yang Yun Ruo were invited to the stage, while the host had already prepared the microphone. The calm and collected music around them became gentle and melodious, full of romance.
Amongst the crowd, Pei Manlin and the ladies were all looking at Yang Yun Ruo who was being held by Xi FengHan in disbelief.
Pei Manlin"s entire body trembled as she looked at the people on stage. She felt a sense of despair, and as she looked at Yang Yun Ruo"s blissful smile, she understood everything.
Xi FengHan chose her.
In the servants" area, about two hundred meters away from the stage, Jian Xin who was standing in the crowd finally s.h.i.+fted her gaze from Pei Manlin, his grandfather, to the man who was holding the girl"s hand and walking down.
Separated by a distance, she couldn"t see his face clearly, but she could only feel the extraordinary aura around him. Jian Xin"s heart trembled slightly, inexplicably, she felt as if she couldn"t control her heart when she saw this man. Thank you all for coming to celebrate our annual state banquet. " Xi FengHan"s low voice reverberated in the hall. He was dressed in an official black suit tonight. His hair was not messed up and he had a handsome face. He was young but mature.
An aura of authority that no one dared to infringe upon.
"Here, I grandly introduce my fiancee, Miss Yang Yun Ruo."
Below the stage, the applause was thunderous.
"Also, Yun Ruo and I will be getting married this year."
With that, the young mistresses who had been close to him all night finally gave up. After Pei Manlin heard this, she suddenly stood in the crowd and fainted. The people around her were all shocked, and they started to make loud noises. A few young mistresses who did not have much tolerance let out a scream, and everyone immediately looked at Pei Manlin who was on the ground, and Jian Xin who was in the servants" area, quickly walked over.
Come.
Before anyone could react, she had already squatted down beside Pei Manlin and probed him with her nose, then said to Old Man Pei who had a face full of worry, "Miss Pei is only unconscious, I will send her back home." She did not know that it was Pei Manlin, because he did not notice her at all. But at this moment, her gaze was attracted by the girl in a black suit, and she saw that one of her hands actually went through Pei Manlin"s armpits, while the other hand went through her arm.
He pa.s.sed under her knees and planned to pick Pei Manlin up.
Everyone were looking at her in shock, and she easily carried Pei Manlin up. Just as Jian Xin was about to leave, she stopped in her tracks for a few seconds and held Pei Manlin, and turned to look at the handsome man who had intimidated her, and the man on the stage was looking at her.
Therefore, in the crowd, two pairs of eyes met each other, caught off guard.
Jian Xin heard her heart beating wildly, but she did not stop, she held Pei Manlin and walked away with big strides, beside her, two servants followed her quickly. At this moment, everyone"s attention was focused on the unconscious Pei Manlin, but no one saw the stage lord"s shocked gaze. Xi FengHan"s mind was blank, void, only the pair of cold beautiful eyes that were staring at him for a short moment, were they hallucinations? "Or is it that the world really exists? "
Such a pair of eyes, such a face?
Xi FengHan"s fist involuntarily tightened from the excitement and shock in his heart, to the extent that Yang Yun Ruo who was beside him felt pain from his clenched fist. She turned around to look at the man beside her and asked with concern, "FengHan, what"s wrong?"
He quickly let go of Yang Yun Ruo"s hand and chased after her towards the door. However, the girl was no longer there, and just like a ghost, she had brought him shock and disappeared without a trace.
He wasn"t even sure if she really had existed in this hall, or if he had been delusional enough to imagine that the girl who had died for more than a year was still alive, that she existed in this world.
Otherwise, how could he explain that the girl just now was fire who pa.s.sed away a year ago? Although it was just a glance, he definitely wouldn"t recognize the wrong person.
