The moment she said that, the expression on Xiang Li’s face changed. Although it was very slight, Huang Yue still caught it. Alarm bells rang in her heart and she immediately realized that something must have happened while she was away, and it was related to Xiang Yin.
Huang Yue bit her lower lip. The only thing that could make Xiang Li show such an expression could only mean that something was wrong with Xiang Yin.
However, for so many years, no one had appeared by Xiang Yin’s side. Moreover, he did not bring her along to such an important banquet today. He probably did not take it seriously.
However, Xiang Li’s att.i.tude, Xiang Yin’s coldness, and Bai Yun’s indistinct att.i.tude of watching a good show made Huang Yue’s heart tighten.
She exhaled in annoyance. She felt very uncomfortable with this uncontrollable feeling, and she could only barely maintain the expression on her face.
“No, nothing.” Xiang Li had yet to think of an explanation and could only change the topic.
Huang Yue also tactfully changed the topic with her, but the seed in her heart had already been planted and was waiting for the time to take root.
Xiang Yin suddenly straightened up and walked straight ahead, ignoring the person beside him. This att.i.tude as if no one was around made Huang Yue’s heart sink even more.
If it were any other time, he would at most ignore her pestering, but now, he actually wanted to draw a line. Huang Yue held the red wine gla.s.s in her hand and her gaze landed on the red wine gla.s.s on the table at the side.
The red wine gla.s.s was placed there and had not been touched by anyone. At this moment, it actually looked a little lonely and pitiful.
She could not control her emotions because of all kinds of guesses. An apologetic expression appeared on her face and she quickly bade farewell to Xiang Li.
Xiang Li did not know how to entertain her. When she heard Huang Yue’s words, she heaved a sigh of relief.
In the hall, Bai Ling arrived late. She saw Xiang Yi’s location at a glance and jogged over.
Because of the relationship between the Xiang Family and the Bai Family, her relationship with Xiang Yi was also very good.
However, Cui Lin, who was beside Xiang Yi, seemed to be an eyesore. Bai Ling reached out rudely and pushed Cui Lin, who was smiling like a flower, to the side.
Then, she held Xiang Yi’s hand excitedly. “Yiyi, you’re finally back. Did you miss me?”
Xiang Yi completely ignored Cui Lin at this moment. Fler eyes flickered. “Bai Ling! Why are you only here now? 1 looked for you for a long time just now but couldn’t find you.”
Although her tone was filled with complaints, her face revealed a happy expression.
“Aiya, 1 encountered something on the way and was delayed. Didn’t 1 come to look for you as soon as the matter was resolved?” Bai Ling sat beside Xiang Yi and the two of them chatted as if no one was around.
Cui Lin, who had been ignored, had a terrible expression. He looked at Xiang Yi a few times sadly but did not receive any response. He could only stop staying here and disturbing their conversation.
However, this anger could not be vented on Bai Ling and Xiang Yi. Cui Lin could only find Bai Yun’s location with a bad expression and vent all his anger on him.
“What are you doing? I didn’t provoke you today, did I?” Bai Yun’s face was red. He was so angry that he was about to retort.
Cui Lin took a step back and dodged his attack. “You didn’t keep an eye on your good sister and disturbed me instead.”
Bai Yun reacted and looked in Xiang Yi’s direction. He immediately revealed a look of understanding. Then, he said disdainfully, “You don’t have the ability yourself, so you blame my sister? 1 low can you say that?”
Cui Lin’s expression turned even worse because of these words. He gritted his teeth in anger and could not hold it in for a moment. He punched Bai Yun’s back hard.
Bai Yun immediately gritted his teeth in pain. “Alright, Cui Lin. If you hit me again, believe it or not, I’ll ask my sister to look for Xiang Yi every day so that you won’t have a chance to touch her!”
Cui Lin suddenly stopped what he was doing because of Bai Yun’s words. He touched the tip of his nose in embarra.s.sment and hugged Bai Yun like they were brothers. “It’s just a small fight. You don’t have to take it to heart.”
Bai Yun looked at Cui Lin’s dramatic expression and puffed out his chest proudly..
