Chapter 473. Wedding Banquet (3)
When he said this, Xi Xiaye’s expression darkened. She was about to refute when the man beside her spoke up casually, “Master Qi, there’s no need to mess with Xiaye. We’ve been married for quite a long while now and her taste has improved quite a fair bit. Those who can’t break away from lowly delights and aren’t genuine wouldn’t be so easily entertained. Nevertheless, thank you for attending our wedding banquet, Li Si!”
Mu Yuchen then called for Li Si who understood and immediately served Qi Lei a glass of drink.
Qi Lei smiled faintly and looked amusedly at Mu Yuchen. Then, he leisurely took the glass. “There’s no need to be nervous, Master Mu. I’m a very sincere person. I’m personally very honored to be able to attend your wedding banquet with Xiaye. To commemorate this occasion, I’ve prepared a special gift for Xiaye.”
When he finished his sentence, Yang Sheng immediately brought an elegant gift box from behind and opened it up. A beautiful splendor flickered with the dazzling shine of the lights. Upon one’s gaze passing that dazzle, you could see a stalk of golden rose with diamonds embedded it lying inside. It looked quite similar to the rose that Mu Yuchen had won from the race. Undoubtedly, it was a gorgeous extravagance which bedazzled the eyes. Xi Xiaye was stunned by this sight.
Qi Lei was obviously very satisfied with Xi Xiaye’s reaction. “What do you think? I’m especially giving it to you. Didn’t you say you liked golden roses? This is my gift to you. Am I considered a great person now?”
When Qi Lei said this, he looked provocatively at Mu Yuchen who remained tranquil as always. His unfathomable eyes were dense with a gloom that was hard to pick up while his hand that held Xi Xiaye’s tightened slightly too. He simply looked at Qi Lei in silence.
Xi Xiaye could obviously feel his unhappiness too. A smile immediately surfaced on her beautiful face and she took the gift quite frankly. “Thank you for this then, Master Qi. My Mr. Mu says that roses like this won’t wither. As long as he likes it, so would I. He’s always admired your skills in architecture. Once again, we’re very happy that you could come, so thank you for your presence and for your thoughtful gift!”
Then, she closed the gift box and handed it to Li Si. She lifted her drink and handed another glass to Mu Yuchen. She raised her glass gracefully at Qi Lei. “Let’s toast to you, and I hope that we’ll be able to have a fantastic partnership in time to come!”
Xi Xiaye’s words could calm the underlying storm. Neither did she humiliate Qi Lei, nor did she put Mu Yuchen in a tight spot.
