The two conversations just now were echoing in my mind, and I kept convincing myself.
Women's gossip has always been exaggerated. Although the woman got one word in her father's name right, maybe it was an unintentional mismatch when Beitang Jing was insane.
Dad is in the United States, and the surveillance is there, so it's obviously okay...
After repeating this several times, Yin Xiaoxiao finally smiled in the mirror, patted her face, touched up her makeup, then came out of the bathroom, turned around a short corridor, and returned to the banquet venue.
The engagement ceremony has started for a while, and at this moment, the bride is talking on the stage.
Today, Shangguan Xiaoya is wearing an off-shoulder white gauze skirt. Her seaweed-like long hair is made into an exquisite bun, which is clamped by several shining diamond clips, making her cheeks appear smaller and smaller.
But the smile on her face was big, sweet and satisfied.
"...I am very happy and happy. Although there have been misunderstandings and twists and turns between us, I believe that everything has passed... We will definitely be happy forever..."
When Shangguan Xiaoya was talking, An Youhe looked at her quietly, with a smile on his lips and a very happy look on his face.
When the microphone was in his hand, his eyes fell on the audience, crossed the crowd, circled around Yin Xiaoxiao, and then said with a smile, "My responsibility is to protect her happiness from being destroyed. This
It is my happiest responsibility."
Just a simple sentence, and the audience immediately burst into applause.
Watching them hugging and kissing, Yin Xiaoxiao unconsciously began to imagine her wedding.
Although she and Pei Haonan are having a quarrel, she must tell her father when that time comes. In fact, she has a man who loves her very much. She will definitely be happy, and her father will also be happy from now on...
A slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and her eyes drifted towards the stage unconsciously.
The cake started to be cut, and An Youhe held Shangguan Xiaoya's hand and smiled sweetly at the camera.
However, when Yin Xiaoxiao touched his eyes, he was slightly startled.
Was it an illusion? She didn't see the smile spread to the bottom of his eyes, which was unfathomable.
Just as I was thinking about it, the applause started again, indicating that the ceremony was over.
Yin Xiaoxiao turned around and found a seat to sit down, feeling a little sore in her ankles.
Fortunately, Pei Haonan chose a pair of low-heeled shoes for her, otherwise, she might not even be able to stand firmly...
Pei Haonan... was actually really nice to her...
But……
Yin Xiaoxiao sighed softly.
"Xiaoxiao..." An Youhe's voice suddenly reached his eardrums, but it sounded like hesitation.
Yin Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head and saw his familiar handsome face. She subconsciously smiled in surprise, "Youhe..."
"It's really you." An Youhe's face also showed a smile, "I thought you wouldn't come..."
"How could it be? We are..." Yin Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she was a good friend, but when the words came to her lips, she paused...
In fact, they are no longer good friends...
In other words, does he still regard her as a good friend?
In such a relationship, so many things have happened...
At this moment, they can no longer be like before...
The surroundings were bustling, but there was a strange silence between the two people...
Yin Xiaoxiao wanted to break this embarrassment, but found that she was at a loss for words...
Maybe Pei Haonan was right, she was indeed not suitable to come here again.
Even if An Youhe has thought about it, the relationship between him and her has become awkward...
Just as he was thinking about it, a goblet suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and a faint fragrance floated faintly. Yin Xiaoxiao raised his head in surprise.
An Youhe put the glass in her hand and said with a smile, "Try the cocktail I made myself."
Yin Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her hand to take it, staring blankly at the blue liquid for a few seconds.
Then, she looked at his face.
After not seeing him for several months, his originally thin cheeks became even thinner. Although he did not look haggard, he was not in good spirits.
Youhe... doesn't seem to like his current life...
"What's wrong? Don't you dare to drink?" An Youhe's voice floated in his ears.
Yin Xiaoxiao looked at him intently as if she had been awakened.
For some reason, she always felt that there was a strange sense of urgency in his voice, as if...
However, she secretly gritted her teeth and quickly dismissed the thoughts that flashed through her mind.
Youhe is so kind, how could he do something to hurt her?
She was indeed brainwashed by Pei Haonan!
Thinking this, she quickly denied it with a smile, "How could that be?"
An Youhe didn't take it seriously, but said with a self-deprecating smile, "Don't worry, I have tried it many times and it tastes very good."
"I believe it!" Yin Xiaoxiao quickly showed a cheering smile.
She raised the cup and was about to take a sip and praise her heartily, when suddenly a force of gravity hit her behind her——
She stumbled, but luckily An Youhe held her up, but most of the cocktail in the goblet was spilled...
Moreover, the puddle of water was sprinkled on her chest, which looked extremely ambiguous.
A flash of anger flashed in An Youhe's eyes, so fast that Yin Xiaoxiao thought it was an illusion.
When would Yohyuk get angry over such a trivial matter?
But she didn't have time to delve deeper, because an apologetic male voice interrupted her thoughts, "I'm sorry, Miss Yin..."
The voice sounded very familiar. Yin Xiaoxiao followed the sound and immediately recognized the other person, "Andrew..."
"I'm really sorry..." Andrew apologized sincerely.
"It's okay, I just wet my clothes..." Yin Xiaoxiao waved her hands quickly.
An Youhe beside him said considerately, "I'll take you to change clothes..."
Yin Xiaoxiao looked at her chest and swallowed the rejection she was about to say.
She is indeed very unsuitable for this occasion...
Andrew immediately took the goblet from her hand diligently and said in a tone of atonement, "I'll hold the cup for you."
Can you still refuse? Yin Xiaoxiao could only follow An Youhe and left the banquet hall.
The door was closed, and there was silence outside. An Youhe supported her, with hesitation on his face, "Pei Haonan...he didn't come with you?"
"No." Yin Xiaoxiao shook her head, but didn't want to tell him about the dispute between her and Pei Haonan.
"Is it because of my relationship?" An Youhe had already guessed it.
Yin Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly and quickly searched for excuses in her mind, "How could that be? He just..."
"I understand!" An Youhe cut off her words with an apology, "I wronged him. According to his character, he should be unhappy."
Yin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that he would say this suddenly. She didn't know how to respond for a while, but she heard An Youhe continue to say, "Just a button and a piece of fabric can't actually prove anything. I was too impulsive at that time, so I didn't take it seriously."
Run over."
Only then did Yin Xiaoxiao show a happy expression.
Although she had always believed that Youhe would understand one day, she still couldn't restrain her excitement when she actually heard him say that.
She nodded excitedly and immediately gave a rough description of the situation at that time——
"So, it was Beitang Jing who killed your eldest brother, but I heard that she is also crazy now..."
A complicated look flashed in An Youhe's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by sadness and anger.
He gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Even so, I will not let go of the murderer who killed my eldest brother!"
Yin Xiaoxiao looked at him silently.
Ever since she heard the conversation between the two women in the bathroom just now, she had some understanding of An Youhe's mood at that time.
To be fair, if Beitang Jing really killed her father as she imagined, she would also be eager to kill Beitang Jing immediately to avenge her father!
Of course, she also knew that the last thing she could do at this moment was let An Youhe indulge in hatred.
Today is his big day of engagement, so he should be happy.
So, she calmed down and called softly, "Youhe...how are you doing?"
This is what she's always wanted to know.
Even though he looked so suave today, she still had to hear this fact confirmed by his own words before she could feel at ease.
An Youhe looked up at her, then smiled slightly, "What do you think?"
That smile, with a hint of loneliness and self-deprecation, made Yin Xiaoxiao's heart skip a beat.
She suddenly thought of the smile that didn't reach his eyes when he was on stage just now, as well as the cocktail and his slightly self-deprecating words...
The huge Shangguan family has two factions, black and white, and a lot of affairs. However, Youhe, the only son-in-law, has so much time to repeatedly experiment with cocktails...
I also know how Shangguanxiong cast him away. Sure enough, he still won't accept Youhe easily...
She couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it. She just stayed silent for a while, and then said softly, "At least, Miss Shangguan is very kind to you, isn't she?"
"Xiao Ya..." An Youhe murmured these two words, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, but he smiled and sighed, "Yes, as long as she is good to me, the rest is really not that important."
important……"
There was a hint of bitterness in that smile, but also a hint of warmth, and Yin Xiaoxiao suddenly didn't know what to say.
He opened his mouth, but fell silent in the end. At this moment, it was superfluous to say anything...
"It's really strange. I always wanted to live like this in the past, brother..." Mentioning An Youxi, An Youhe's voice was full of sadness, "Big brother always refused to let me, but now I can, but I
I started to miss the days when someone threatened me to go to work every day..."
Is this the boy who was like sunshine in the past?
Seeing his devastated look, Yin Xiaoxiao's heart ached slightly, and she unconsciously grabbed his hand and said seriously, "Youhe, you don't have everything now, you still have Xiaoya, and I...
…”
"Xiaoxiao..." An Youhe raised his head, his dark eyes like deep pools, unpredictable, "Will you always be by my side? No matter what I do, will you forgive me?"
"Of course I can..." Yin Xiaoxiao immediately smiled and said encouragingly, "You once brought me out of a period of haze. As long as you are willing, I will always be by your side and be the best friend..."
Before she finished speaking, Yin Xiaoxiao felt someone grabbing her shoulders, and then a soft cloth covered her mouth and nose.
Before she could see everything clearly, her vision went dark and her body fell softly...
