The servant knocked on the door. Xia Qianchen opened the door and saw Mr. Jiang leading Xiaobao.
The little guy immediately took her hands, one for each person: "Go out and play."
Xia Qianchen refused at first, but as soon as she said no, the child looked very disappointed and sad...
Xia Qianchen thought that she would have to leave eventually, so it would be nice to spend more time with him.
So, people from the Rhodes faction followed and captured Xia Qianchen and Jiang Youdi as a "family of three" visiting the zoo, feeding monkeys, riding on elephants, and taking photos with tigers...
They were also captured going to the children's meal area to eat ice cream, fried chicken, and even went to the cinema.
Without children, these are all things couples do in love...
And with children, everything becomes like a family.
In particular, they captured many close-ups of Xia Qianchen's careful and gentle treatment of the baby. She wiped Xiaobao's mouth, hugged him and kissed him, and Xiaobaofei sat on her lap when eating...
Thick photos were spread in front of Young Emperor Nangong.
His cold eyes were tightened, and it was clearly very annoying, and he couldn't help but flip through the pages one by one.
Each one made him have the urge to tear the photo into pieces.
Rhodes quietly paid attention to Nangong Young Emperor's expression, expecting him to rise up.
But every time, Young Emperor Nangong could quickly endure it and return to a calm mood.
Alas, is the real Miss Xia so irreplaceable? Rhodes has begun to lose confidence in them. Moreover, Young Emperor Nangong has not been ill recently. Is it true that even if he leaves on 0328, it will not have any impact on Young Emperor Nangong?
"By the way," Rhodes took out a birthday invitation and put it on the table, "This is an invitation from the Jiang family to invite me. The master said it was inconvenient to attend and would not return to China, so he asked you to attend on his behalf."
Young Emperor Nangong leaned on the chair.
He is withdrawn and keeps to himself, rarely attending other people's birthday parties or the like.
"Young Master Emperor, if you don't want to go, I can send you a gift." Rhodes asked tentatively again.
If Young Emperor Nangong didn't take action despite all the stimulation, Rhodes would be disappointed and stop trying to bring them together.
Young Emperor Nangong pondered for a long time and nodded: "Let's do it."
On the day of the birthday party.
The banquet was held on a luxury cruise ship.
This was not the first time for Xia Qianchen to attend such a scene. Her behavior was full of etiquette and style. She held her arm beside Jiang Youdi. The black wet nurse behind her also attended the event dressed up, holding Xiaobao in a suit and tie.
With his talent and good looks, coupled with his lovely children, he is definitely the focus of the show.
Mr. Jiang is also a heart patient. He attended in a wheelchair. He did not have the airs of a big shot and was affable.
Xia Qianchen may have seen the shadow of "Father Xia", and she smiled gently towards him, and reminded the servants a lot about what he could and could not eat from his body.
In an unnoticed corner, a tall figure stood beside the floor-to-ceiling curtain, with dark green eyes.
A glass of lake-blue champagne was shaking in his hand. The color was just like Mr. Jiang's eyes.
Young Emperor Nangong frowned, and his hand seemed to have slipped, and the wine glass broke to the ground.
Rhodes was waiting at the side: "Young Master Emperor, are you okay? Do you want me to help you with another drink?"
Just before the banquet left, Young Emperor Nangong suddenly changed his mind and wanted to go there in person...
Is this banquet a new turning point?
Rhodes is looking forward to it.
Xia Qianchen always felt like a pair of sharp eyes were catching her in the dark, making her back stiff and cold.
But every time she looked for those eyes, they were blocked by the flow of people passing by.
She shook her head, thinking that Young Emperor Nangong had come to the scene. What happened to her today?
I was so distracted that I met a waiter and spilled some wine on my shoulder.
Xia Qianchen smiled gracefully: "I'm sorry, I have to go to the bathroom."
Looking at Xia Qianchen's leaving figure, Mr. Jiang smiled and nodded: "Youdi, no wonder you don't like the women I introduced to you before."
Jiang Youdi leaned against the buffet table, thoughtfully.
"This woman is good in all aspects, and I think she's suitable. I'm not pedantic and don't care about the other person's family background. The important thing is that she has to be really good-hearted."
"How long did it take for you to see that she has a good heart?"
"Some things cannot be faked," the old man said solemnly. "If she is pretending, it can only be said that her deception is so good that she can hide it from my eyes, which have been practiced for decades."
Mr. Jiang smiled faintly.
"That's her," Mr. Jiang sighed and added, "get married as soon as possible. Before I die, I will feel relieved to see a woman taking care of you and Xiaobao."
Xiaobao sat on the old gentleman's lap, as if he understood, and nodded solemnly.
His serious expression made the old gentleman laugh again.
…
Xia Qianchen left the bathroom and walked along the long corridor toward the banquet hall.
Suddenly, her footsteps froze.
There was a person leaning against the railing at the end of the corridor. He was wearing a dark green uniform with gold-striped cuffs and shoulder bars. He rarely wore this type of clothes, but he still gave off a strong aura like an aristocrat.
Even though he is wearing knight's clothes, he still has the aura of an emperor.
Xia Qianchen's heart skipped a beat, thinking she was dazzled——
She actually saw Young Emperor Nangong.
As if to prove that she was not dazzled, the man turned his face sideways. His chiseled face was extremely deep under the light, and his eyes were even more profound.
Xia Qianchen's mind buzzed.
Are you happy? I'm happy that he came to find me!
Afraid? Afraid of being caught by him again!
Was he shocked? Why did he come to Mr. Jiang’s birthday party?
The various emotions that were coming at her made her stupid on the spot, unable to pull away, or she knew subconsciously that there was no point in escaping at this time.
Young Emperor Nangong walked towards her slowly and stood one meter away from her.
The corner of his mouth curled up with a touch of sarcasm: "Mrs. Jiang?"
Xia Qianchen bit her lips.
"Or as I should call her, the future Mrs. Chiang."
This mocking tone made Xia Qianchen's body hurt.
What is he here to do, to catch her?
"What, is Mr. Nangong here to steal someone's love?" She stared at him stubbornly, with a hint of expectation rising in her heart.
"To win someone's love?"
"In your eyes, I am just an insignificant clone, Xia Qianchen's shadow... maybe even the shadow is not worthy." Xia Qianchen suddenly smiled, "But without you, I have a different life."
Young Emperor Nangong tensed his jaw, his eyes as drunk as wine.
"What on earth are you here for?" Xia Qianchen asked in a timid voice.
After she calmed down, she thought that if he had taken her away, he would have kidnapped her directly, and there was no need for him to be there in person.
