There was a luxurious manor-style villa. Various luxury cars were parked in front of the manor. Ye Qing followed Xiao Yingyi into the manor.
The courtyard is filled with flowers and colorful balloons.
The heart-shaped arches and fragrant roses all indicate that a grand wedding is about to take place here.
Men and women were scattered in groups in the courtyard, each holding a glass of red wine and chatting softly, as if they were waiting for the hero and heroine of this feast to appear.
Seeing Xiao Yingyi walking in, everyone's eyes were attracted to her.
This woman really has her own aura, she shines wherever she goes.
"She is Xiao Yingyi who is about to get engaged to Master Yan."
"So beautiful! She has a good figure too."
"That's... with Young Master Yan's status, only such a beautiful woman is worthy of him."
"Hey... isn't today the engagement party between her and Mr. Yan? Why did she just come in a sports suit? Isn't this too casual?"
"Who is the man next to her?"
"I haven't seen him before. He must be a bodyguard, right?"
"Bodyguard? Have you ever seen the bodyguard and the owner wearing couple's costumes?"
"I've heard that Xiao Yingyi doesn't seem to like Young Master Yan and has been opposing the engagement party arranged for her by her family."
"Holy crap, who is Young Master Yan? That's our First Young Master for building a city. There are actually women who don't want to marry him. How is this possible?"
"Haha... It's not impossible. Doesn't the person in front of me not want to marry her?"
"I think this Xiao Yingyi is completely crazy."
"I think she is not crazy, but she already has a boyfriend, so she is unwilling to marry Mr. Yan!"
"Tch...just the man next to her?"
"Maybe!"
"Although this man is good-looking and has a good figure, I have never seen him before. He must not have any background, right? Humph... A guy with no background wants to snatch a woman from Mr. Yan. I think he is alive.
Are you tired of it?"
"I don't know if he is tired of living, but I know that there will probably be something good to watch at the engagement party today."
Xiao Yingyi walked through the crowd with an indifferent expression. These people's comments did not seem to affect her.
We walked straight into the main villa in the manor's courtyard.
A middle-aged woman came up to her with a smile, took Xiao Yingyi's hand and said, "Xiao Yi, you're finally here. You made me worry for a long time, thinking you weren't coming."
"Mom, I promised you that I would show up here and I would never make a mistake." Xiao Yingyi said expressionlessly.
This prime-age woman is Xiao Yingyi’s mother, Tan Shuping.
Seeing Xiao Yingyi's cold talk, Ye Qing was speechless.
Even if this woman treats others coldly, she also treats her own mother with a face of indifference. She is like no one else.
"It's good to be here, it's good to be here, Xiaoyi, hurry up and change into a dress, the engagement party will start soon." Tan Shuping pulled Xiao Yingyi and walked to the inner room of the villa.
However, Xiao Yingyi did not move. Instead, she shook off her mother's hand and said lightly: "No need."
"You are engaged, how can you wear sportswear? You have to change into a dress!"
"Mom, I said I would come, but I didn't say I was getting engaged to Yan Shaokuan today."
Tan Shuping's brows furrowed, her face fell, and she shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl?"
"I didn't say nonsense."
"Xiao Yingyi, I don't care why you don't want to see Young Master Yan so much. I tell you, you have to get married today if you don't want to." Tan Shuping roared angrily.
"Mom, don't force me!"
"What am I forcing you to do? Who is Young Master Yan? He is the number one young man building the city, and the Yan family has tens of billions of assets. If you marry him, you can enjoy happiness for the rest of your life!"
"Ten billions of assets? So what?" Xiao Yingyi curled her lips.
"I'm doing this for your own good!"
"For my own good? Are you asking me to marry Yan Shaokuan because you are interested in his family's power and money?" Xiao Yingyi said with a sarcastic look.
"Have you ever talked to mom like this?"
"Mom, let me tell you, I will never get engaged to Yan Shaokuan, let alone..." Xiao Yingyi turned around and took a deep look at Ye Qing beside her when she was halfway through speaking.
Tan Shuping's heart tightened and she asked: "What's more?"
"I'm already married!" Xiao Yingyi said calmly.
"Getting married? How is this possible? Why don't I, the mother, know that you are getting married?"
"Mom, this year, I taught in Lingshan Village, where I met the man in my life." Xiao Yingyi took Ye Qing's arm, looked at Ye Qing deeply, and said, "Mom, this is
My husband, Ye Qing."
In everyone's eyes, Xiao Yingyi's eyes looked as affectionate as Ye Qing's.
Only Ye Qing knew the true relationship between the two. This woman's acting was really good. It would be a pity not to become an actress.
Of course, there is no better daughter than a mother. When everyone was moved by Xiao Yingyi's deep affection, Tan Shuping curled her lips and said disdainfully: "What husband? I think this guy was temporarily rented by you as a shield, right?"
"Auntie is right. Xiaoyi found a man here just to make me angry."
A young man in his twenties walked over gracefully wearing an exquisite dress.
This man was Yan Shaokuan, the leading actor of today's banquet. He looked at Xiao Yingyi affectionately and said, "Xiao Yi, what happened that time was a misunderstanding. I'm not that kind of person."
"Misunderstanding?" Xiao Yingyi's expression remained unchanged and she said calmly: "So what if it's a misunderstanding?"
"Xiaoyi, as long as you marry me, I promise that I will only treat you as a woman in the future. I swear to make you the happiest woman in the world."
"In the future?" Xiao Yingyi shook her head and said lightly: "We have no past, and we will not have the present, let alone the future. Yan Shaokuan, whether it happened that time or not, I can tell you clearly today,
I have never liked you, I didn’t like you before, and I will never like you in the future.”
"Xiaoyi, do you really want me to take out my heart and show it to you?"
"Your heart? I'm not interested." Xiao Yingyi shook her head and said.
"Okay! Xiaoyi, even if you don't like me and don't want to be engaged to me, you can just tell me that we can cancel the engagement ceremony. You don't need to rent a man to make me angry, right?"
"Rented?" Xiao Yingyi smiled.
This was the first time Ye Qing saw her smile after he met her. Although it was a sarcastic smile, it was still like a blooming snow lotus, so beautiful!
"Isn't it?" Yan Shaokuan asked with his lips curled up.
To be honest, Yan Shaokuan seemed to know Xiao Yingyi quite well. He never glanced at Ye Qing from the beginning to the end. He really thought that this guy was just hired by Xiao Yingyi to piss him off.
