At the same time, in another bedroom on this floor, Xiao Zichen had been paying attention to the movement in the corridor. He had walked to the door for the nth time.
Mo Yurou, who was lying on the bed, saw Xiao Zichen so uneasy, and finally couldn't bear it and sat up.
"Husband, can you calm down for a while? The children are already so old. Besides, we have watched Si Nian's child grow up. Why are you worried?"
Hearing his wife's complaint, Xiao Zichen walked back to the end of the bed. Although he sat down, the expression on his face was very obvious. He could only hear him saying a little irritably.
"Aren't I afraid that those two children won't pay attention to their sense of propriety for a moment? You said that Si Nian is also thirty, and men at this age are most dangerous. And the kid Luo Luo loves him to death. What if Si Nian
If you make some excessive demands, I don’t think Luoluo will refuse.”
"If you don't refuse, don't refuse. We are all adults. Don't we still know how to behave? Besides, they will be involved in everything in the future anyway. It doesn't matter if it happens early or later. You go to bed with me quickly. In this case
If you keep shaking, my head will be knocked out by you."
In fact, Mo Yurou could understand Xiao Zichen's worries. They all said that their daughter was their father's lover in his previous life. Although giving Xiao Yingxi to Mas Nian was more reassuring than giving it to any other man, after all, there are some things that a father cannot do for a moment.
It's hard to accept it. I always feel that the cabbage I finally grew has been taken over by pigs, and I feel unwilling to do so, even if it is still a pig they raised since childhood.
Hearing what Mo Yurou said, Xiao Zichen stood up from the end of the bed and started to walk towards the door. When Mo Yurou saw this, she immediately shouted and stopped.
"Xiao Zichen, why are you crazy? If you go and knock on the door now, it will only make the two children more embarrassed. Get into bed with me quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to get into my bed for a month."
Mo Yurou was usually so gentle that Xiao Zichen almost forgot that his wife was once a powerful figure. No, after saying this, Xiao Zichen really stopped.
"Honey, why aren't you worried at all? It's not that I'm worried about Si Nian's child. After all, Luoluo is still young and hasn't graduated from school yet. What if... what if she gets pregnant out of wedlock?
But what should we do?”
"Okay, just go to bed in a down-to-earth manner. I think Si Nian is much more stable than when you were young. Do you think he will let Luoluo have these accidents?"
As soon as Mo Yurou finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming from the corridor. Upon hearing this, Xiao Zichen immediately came to the door and saw Ma Nian walking out of Xiao Yingxi's bedroom through the gap in the door.
, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her husband's worried and anxious look, Mo Yurou shook her head speechlessly and said with a slight smile on her face.
"Mr. Xiao, can you go to bed now?"
As he said this, Mo Yurou had already laid down. After Xiao Zichen heard this, he immediately closed the door, walked to the bed in a few steps, lifted the quilt, lay down, and hugged Mo Yurou.
"Honey, it's not even ten o'clock yet, how about we do something to pass the time."
While Xiao Zichen was talking, his hands lingered on Mo Yurou's body dishonestly.
Mo Yurou immediately glared at Xiao Zichen with a shameless look, pushed her slightly, and said.
"Xiao Zichen, you are so old and you are still messing around."
As soon as Mo Yurou said these words, Xiao Zichen turned over and pressed Mo Yurou underneath him. The two of them, both of whom were over a hundred years old together, didn't know how they could still be so interesting.
Xiao Zichen, in particular, couldn't bear to hear such provocative words. Even in ten or twenty years, he would still have the dignity that men care about in some respects.
"Honey, some things have nothing to do with age. If I didn't feel sorry for you, I would really want you to give me another child."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen kissed Mo Yurou's lips.
Although Mo Yurou is nearly fifty years old, she has taken good care of herself. If she goes out and says that she is in her thirties, others will never doubt her. As for Xiao Zichen, the same is true. They seem to be particularly favored by God as a couple.
, the years have not left any traces on their faces.
In a blink of an eye, the day came when Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou got engaged.
It seems that the wealthy circle in Los Angeles has not been so lively for a long time. The engagement venue was chosen at the Rose Manor on the outskirts of Los Angeles. For this engagement party, Mo Yurou even shut down the Rose Manor for three days and started preparations more than ten days ago.
With all the decorations and battles, many people’s weddings may not be as grand as this.
At the engagement party, apart from the soon-to-be newlyweds Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou, the most eye-catching ones were Mas Nian and Xiao Yingxi.
This is the first time the two of them have appeared in public together, and it is also the first time they have acknowledged each other's status as a couple in front of the media.
When the news broke before, Yaoyuan Group only clarified the relationship between Mas Nian and the Xiao family, and did not mention a word about the relationship between Mas Nian and Xiao Yingxi.
These days, although there are no big reports from the outside world, many people are still paying close attention to every move of Mas Nian and Xiao Yingxi. However, the eldest lady of the Xiao family usually acts too low-key, and no one can take any photos of Xiao Yingxi.
News, so the outside world has different opinions on their relationship.
But today, Mas Nian and Xiao Yingxi were dressed up and appeared in front of the media with their fingers clasped together. They attracted as much attention as Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou. No, as soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by media reporters.
"Mr. Ma, there are rumors that you and Miss Xiao are a couple. Is this true?"
Faced with the media's siege, Mas Nian had already expected it. Before coming, he and Xiao Yingxi had also been vaccinated. However, when he came to the scene and saw the scene at the moment, he still felt that he had underestimated the gossip and curiosity of these reporters.
Heart.
Masnian has been protecting Xiao Yingxi tightly in his arms since he got off the car, not letting anyone get close. He also responded very generously after hearing the media's questions.
"Isn't it obvious enough that we are now in a relationship? Luoluo and I are indeed in a relationship, and we are in a relationship for the purpose of getting married. We also hope to get everyone's blessing."
As soon as Mas Nian said these words, he immediately received blessings from everyone. Although most of the blessings were just compliments, after all, no one in Luo City wanted to offend the two people in front of him.
At this time, another reporter in the crowd asked questions.
"Mr. Ma, everyone has always regarded you as the adopted son of the Xiao family. Now your identity has changed. Was this change expected by you?"
I have to say that some reporters are really dedicated and will not hesitate to ask anything in order to get the important information.
This question seems simple, but it is full of profound meaning. Now there are two kinds of rumors from the outside world.
One is that Masnian took the initiative to pursue the only daughter of Xiao Zichen and his wife in order to consolidate his position in the Xiao family.
Another theory is that Xiao Zichen and his wife took a fancy to Mas Nian's ability and pressured him to betroth their woman to him. They wanted to use this method to restrain Mas Nian and make him loyal to the Xiao family forever.
When the people around heard this question, they all turned their cameras on Masnian.
At this time, just when Masnian was about to speak, Xiao Yingxi, who had been protected in Masnian's arms, stood up, faced the reporter who had just asked the question, and spoke clearly and firmly.
"Everything between me and Si Nian is God's arrangement. Twenty years ago, God arranged for Si Nian to come to the Xiao family. Eight years ago, fate let me know that Si Nian and I have no blood relationship. Six years ago, God arranged for Si Nian to come to the Xiao family.
Years ago, Yue Lao made me fall in love with him. Now, we have promised to stay together for the rest of our lives, hand in hand like my parents. Nothing in a person's life is necessarily within his control, and things like love are even less difficult.
As expected, the only thing I can tell you now is that all the changes we are making now are in a good direction, thank you."
Xiao Yingxi boldly declared her love for Mas Nian in front of all reporters and media, and her words caused an uproar.
Everyone always thought that in such a relationship, it was Mas Nian who took the initiative to pursue her, but they did not expect that it was actually Xiao Yingxi who fell in love with her first.
Xiao Yingxi suddenly stood up, and Masnian was a little surprised. But when he heard her words, the corners of Masnian's mouth rose slightly. If it weren't for the cameras all around him, he would have really wanted to kiss this brave man.
girl.
It was almost time for the meeting, and he didn't want to steal the limelight from tonight's protagonist, so he put his arms around Xiao Yingxi and walked to the banquet hall, speaking to the reporters around him as he walked.
"Everyone, please give way. Tonight is the engagement party of my brother and sister-in-law. Please keep your eyes on them. Thank you for your cooperation."
Those reporters were also very knowledgeable. The brief interview just now allowed them to get the news they wanted, so they didn't bother any more.
But just when Masnian and Xiao Yingxi were about to walk out of the crowd, a man about thirty years old came out of the crowd, took a recorder and camera and took pictures of Masnian and Xiao Yingxi, and
asked loudly.
"Mr. Ma, as far as I know, a year ago, you had a girlfriend you had been dating for two years. May I ask what caused you to break up with your ex-girlfriend and end up with Miss Xiao so quickly?"
As soon as this question was asked, there was an uproar in the crowd. The reporters present were all reporters with a keen sense of smell. However, they did not know that Masnian had such a love history, and they immediately started to crowd in.
Masnian's expression also changed slightly at this time. He stared coldly at the reporter who had just asked him a question. However, the man was wearing a mask and a peaked cap, and it was getting dark. It was obvious that this man did not want Masnian to see him.
Clear his face.
Masnian looked down at Xiao Yingxi again, fearing that she would be affected by such a question, but he did not expect that Xiao Yingxi in his arms was much calmer than he thought.
Masnian looked up again at the reporter who asked the question, but did not answer his question. Instead, he showed a contemptuous sneer and said.
"May I ask which media outlet you are a reporter for? Since everyone is here at the scene, why do you need to cover it up like this?"
Masnian turned everyone's attention with a few words. Everyone looked at the man. Compared with the other reporters present, this man looked wretched at first glance. Everyone pointed the cameras in their hands.
he.
The man was obviously panicked, but then he spoke loudly.
"Mr. Ma, you'd better answer my question first. It doesn't matter what I look like. As a reporter, I just want to clarify some things."
It seemed that the man came prepared.
At this time, the movement here also attracted the attention of others. In addition to some reporters, the guests passing by also stopped and gathered here.
When Masnian heard the man's words, he smiled coldly again, lowered his head, and met Xiao Yingxi's bright eyes. Xiao Yingxi smiled slightly at him and gave him a reassuring look. Then, Masnian
Nian looked at the man again.
"Reporter, you just said that she was my ex-girlfriend. I want to ask how many people here have only been in love once in their lives. And you said it yourself, I was in love after breaking up with my ex-girlfriend.
The relationship with Luoluo was confirmed only after years. Excuse me, what is the purpose of asking these questions? Finally, I want to say that today our Xiao family held an engagement banquet and did not prohibit reporters from interviewing to respect everyone's media freedom. But I
I hope some people won’t stir up trouble here under the guise of journalists.”
After speaking, Masnian held Xiao Yingxi's hand tightly and spoke affectionately.
"I don't know what the purpose of this gentleman is in saying this on this occasion. Is he trying to sow discord between me and Luo Luo, or is he under instructions from someone. I just want to take this opportunity to explain something. Luo Luo and I
The prerequisite for being together is that there is no deception between each other, so my last relationship, Luoluo, also knows the details. If this gentleman has the purpose of provoking our relationship, then I am sorry to tell you that your purpose will not be achieved.
.”
As he spoke, Masnian raised his head and looked around, finally waved to a few security guards outside the crowd who were maintaining order, and said.
"Please verify the identity of this gentleman. I don't want some unknown people to ruin this banquet. Thank you reporters and media for your support. I apologize for the poor greeting."
After saying that, Masnian was escorted by the security guards and entered the banquet hall with Xiao Yingxi in his arms.
A few minutes later, a low-key manor manager found Masnian and confirmed the identity of the man just now. He was indeed not a reporter and had been controlled by the security guards.
After Masnian heard this, a coldness flashed across his face. He already had a vague suspicion in his heart. If it was true, then he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
Then, he called Lu Mingxuan's phone number, explained some things, and went to Xiao Yingxi's side.
At this time, Xiao Yingxi, Luo Yunshu and Fu Shuyue were hiding in the dessert area chatting. When Mas Nian came over, the three girls didn't know what they were talking about, and they all laughed happily.
"What are you talking about? You are smiling so happily."
Masnian asked, then sat down next to Xiao Yingxi, and held Xiao Yingxi in his arms very naturally.
"Brother Snian, long time no see."
Luo Yunshu is speaking, the daughter of Luo Mingxuan and Zhao Keer.
"Yunshu, long time no see."
"By the way, Brother Si Nian, you came just in time. Just now we were asking Sister Luo Luo, how should we call you two in the future? Should we call Sister Luo Luo and sister-in-law according to your title, Brother Si Nian, or according to Luo Luo?
Sister Luo, I will call you brother-in-law."
The youngest Fu Shuyue joked, but they were really talking about this just now, but they were discussing what Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou called them.
After hearing what Fu Shuyue said, Masnian lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yingxi lovingly and asked.
"What did Luoluo say? I can do it."
Masnian absolutely loved Xiao Yingxi and had no idea about the title. Anyway, as long as they were together, it would be fine.
Xiao Yingxi on the side glared at Luo Yunshu and Fu Shuyue, and then said.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. Everyone calls me by his own name. It's just a title. There's nothing to argue about."
"Well, it's all up to you, I have no objection."
Mas Nian is definitely a good boyfriend of the twenty-four filial piety, without any refutation, the look in Xiao Yingxi's eyes made Fu Shuyue and Luo Yunshu shake their heads.
"Forget it, let's go. Don't be fed dog food before the dinner has even started. Humph, isn't it just about falling in love? It seems like no one has."
Luo Yunshu looked like her mother in temperament, and her tone of voice was exactly the same. After saying that, she pulled Fu Shuyue away from this place of right and wrong, leaving Mas Nian and Xiao Yingxi behind.
"By the way, that person just now wasn't a reporter, was he?"
After Luo Yunshu and the others left, Xiao Yingxi spoke. She was not stupid. If such a person suddenly appeared in such a situation, his motives were definitely impure.
"Well, I've asked Lu Mingxuan to investigate, don't worry."
"What am I worried about? If something happens, it's you who will bear the reputation of being a heartless person. I don't care."
Xiao Yingxi said nonchalantly, and after that, she was about to leave, but as soon as she stood up, she realized that the hem of her skirt was being held down by Mas Nian.
"You're pressing down on my skirt."
After hearing this, Masnian only glanced down and made no move to get up. Then, he pulled Xiao Yingxi to sit down again.
"What are you doing, brother? Let go, there are so many people here."
At this time, Masnian hugged Xiao Yingxi tightly and rested his head on Xiao Yingxi's ear. He looked particularly ambiguous. This was a banquet hall. There must be at least a hundred people in the hall at this time.
As Xiao Yingxi spoke, she pushed Masnian. Seeing Xiao Yingxi's face gradually turning red, Masnian stopped teasing her and let go a little, but held one hand tightly.
Xiao Yingxi's hand.
"You really don't care about what happened just now. Didn't you dislike Ou Qianyi in the past?"
"It was before, but after knowing that you have no feelings for her, brother, it will be fine. But brother, what are you going to do this time?"
Xiao Yingxi asked curiously. Masnian was silent for a moment, patted Xiao Yingxi's hand and said.
"Don't worry, I will solve it. Let's go. The guests are almost here and the ceremony is about to begin. As Yingze's family, we can't hide away and take a rest."
After saying that, Masnian took Xiao Yingxi and walked towards the center of the banquet hall. As soon as the guests were seated, they also came to the main table.
Ten minutes later, all the main lights in the banquet hall were turned off, and the entire hall fell into darkness. Only through the wall lamps on both sides could one see a figure floating across the rostrum. After that, a beam of spotlights lit up the entire stage. Xiao Yingze
and Lu Ziyou, dressed up, appeared in the center of the stage.
The engagement ceremony was actually very simple. They briefly reviewed the process of how the two had known each other since childhood, then exchanged engagement rings, and the parents of both parties changed their minds. The whole process took about half an hour, and then the banquet started.
