Qiao Yanze stared at Li Yinian, and his pupils contracted. He couldn't even hear what his female companion was saying to him.
The ceremony was simple, and it only took three minutes, but it was undoubtedly the most torturous three minutes for Qiao Yanze.
Yu Shuhang carried the cup and walked to his side. He patted his shoulder and said sympathetically, "Are you alright?"
Qiao Yanze forced himself to look away. His face was pale, but his eyes were bright.
"I'm fine." He suddenly smiled, raised his glass, and drained it in one gulp.
"By the way, where's Shiting?" Yu Shuhang looked around.
Yu Shuhang hadn't been in the banquet hall, and Qiao Yanze had been absent-minded, so neither of them noticed the argument between Ji Shiting and Ye Shengge.
"Here." Ji Shiting appeared beside them with a glass. "I'll go say hi to Xiao Cheng."
As he spoke, he was already walking forward. Xie Siqi was following behind him. Seeing this, she bit her lip and held onto his arm again.
Yu Shuhang looked at Qiao Yanze and said, "Why do I feel like … Shiting isn't right?"
"Really?" Qiao Yanze answered casually.
Yu Shuhang clicked his tongue and said, "You're hopeless."
…
Ji Shiting walked forward with Xie Siqi and gave Xiao Cheng his blessings.
Xiao Ruilang stood behind Xiao Cheng as a filial son with a playful smile on his face.
Although Xiao Cheng was old, he had taken good care of himself. At least, he didn't look old. He smiled and said, "It's rare that you're willing to give me face."
He then picked up a glass of wine.
"You must be joking." Ji Shiting clinked glasses with him with an impeccable smile. "I have to join in on your fun no matter what."
Xiao Cheng burst into laughter.
As the bride, Li Yinian didn't seem to be unhappy at all. She seemed to be immersed in happiness. Her smile was perfect, and she would glance at her new husband from time to time.
For the sake of his friend, Qiao Yanze paid special attention to Li Yinian's expression, but he could only sympathize with Qiao Yanze.
After chatting for a while, Xie Siqi also sent Xiao Cheng her blessings on behalf of the Xie family. Li Yinian thanked her as the hostess. The four of them raised their glasses again, and the glass clinked.
As the junior of the bride and groom, Xiao Ruilang could only be a silent filial son. However, he didn't seem to mind being ignored. He had a teasing smile on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"By the way, Elder Xiao." Ji Shiting took a sip of wine and smiled. "I remember the Xiao family and the Xie family are engaged, right? Now Siqi can be considered my elder sister. I was entrusted by my mother to invite you to talk about the marriage between your son and Miss Xie. "
Xie Siqi's expression changed, and Xiao Ruilang narrowed his eyes.
"Engagement?" He chuckled. "How come I don't know about this?"
"Yes, the engagement with the Xie family." Xiao Cheng nodded. "It's been more than twenty years. The Xie family hasn't mentioned it, and I thought they didn't mean it, so I didn't mention it."
Xie Siqi's eyes lit up. "Elder Xiao, I'm here today because …"
"I think Miss Xie and your son are a match made in heaven." Ji Shiting smiled and interrupted her. "However, you can't expect the woman to take the initiative regarding the marriage. Therefore, the Xie family hopes that you can propose to the Xie family if you have no objections to this marriage." Ji Shiting smiled and interrupted her. "That's right.
