Fortunately, the venue was big enough and Dongfang Yan was only standing at the edge of the terrace, so no one noticed anything strange on their side.
"Yan, she is the designer of our company, Xia Xiangtong." Yin Xiu guessed that he should also know this person. After all, the scandal with Zixuan was making a big fuss at the time. Dongfang Yan was also with Zixuan at the time, so he should know about it.
thing.
"Xia Xiangtong?" Dongfang Yan chewed the name carefully. He knew her. Luo Qing mentioned this girl more than once, but he only thought of it as an ordinary snobbish and money-worshipping girl who only wanted to go up.
She was crawling, so he didn't pay attention to her appearance.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Xia Xiangtong took two steps back. Dongfang Yan's cold eyes really frightened her, so she looked at him warily.
"My name is Dongfang Yan." At Zixuan's side, his name is Yan, and he is a bodyguard. He has never told his name to anyone other than the familiar people around Zixuan. This is the first time.
Yin Xiu frowned. He was almost 100% sure that there must be some connection between Dongfang Yan and Xia Xiangtong, otherwise Dongfang Yan's reaction wouldn't be so strange. He glanced at Sizhou warily. Fortunately, there was no one here.
Not many, no one noticed them.
"Hello, Mr. Dongfang." Although Xia Xiangtong was scared, he nodded politely and said hello.
However, Dongfang Yan's eyes did not change. Instead, there was a sense of sadness. Xia Xiangtong's heart was shocked when she saw it. Something in her heart seemed to be severely shocked. She frowned. She didn't know him.
, why does he look at himself like this?
"Qi..." He murmured one word, and there was a deep pain in his cold breath. Dongfang Yan suddenly smiled, as if it was a self-deprecating smile, but it made the people around him feel sad.
"Mr. Dongfang?" Xia Xiangtong called softly.
After smiling bitterly, Dongfang Yan regained his composure and nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, you look a lot like an old friend, that's why I lost my temper."
"Old friend?" Xia Xiangtong wanted to ask something more, but seeing his lips pressed tightly together, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Yin Xiu, why did you bring them here?" Dongfang Yan looked at Yin Xiu strangely. This is the corner of the venue. He doesn't like places with too many people, so he chooses to stay here. Why did they come here?
Yin Xiu shrugged and answered honestly, "I don't know, Zixuan asked me to bring them here."
Zi
When things happened between them, he thought that people like Zixuan would not care about other people's affairs.
"Miss Xia, can I take you around?" This was the first time Dongfang Yan invited a woman like this. Even Yin Xiu raised his eyebrows and expressed surprise.
Xia Xiangtong looked at Li Tianai in embarrassment. Dongfang's words made her feel very dangerous, but she couldn't ignore the feeling in her heart that she wanted to be close to her. She obviously didn't know him, but he gave her a very familiar feeling.
"Yin Xiu and I will go over there and have a look." Li Tianai smiled and walked to the side with Yin Xiu. She knew Xia Xiangtong's personality. This guy usually protects himself like a hedgehog. This is the first time.
This is the first time he has shown such an obvious affection for a boy. Although Dongfang Yan looks scary, his eyes are very gentle, so he should not be a bad person.
"Is this your first time in the UK, Miss Xia?" Dongfang Yan lost his coldness and asked gently.
"Well, this is my first time." Xia Xiangtong nodded. Due to her family background, she had never been abroad before. Later, she joined Yin Xiu's company and got an opportunity to go to Paris to participate in a fashion exhibition. This time she came
Qiu sent someone to pick her up from the UK, otherwise she would not be able to afford the expensive air ticket.
"How many days will you stay here?" Dongfang Yan asked again, turning his head and looking at her seriously. This face was very similar to the sister he remembered. Although he had matured a lot, the original outline could still be vaguely seen.
Even though he knew in his heart that Dongfang Qi had died a long time ago, he still couldn't help but want to get close to Xia Xiangtong when he saw her. This woman who looked so much like his sister made him want to get closer.
"Maybe she will stay for three days." Xia Xiangtong thought for a while, because the Qiu family has made arrangements for the hotel and so on, so she should be able to stay for three days. It is a rare trip to the UK and she wants to have some fun before going back.
"I'll have some free time these days, so I'll take you around." Dongfang Yan said it sincerely, not like a man trying to strike up a conversation, but it still surprised Xia Xiangtong. This outstanding man actually expressed his feelings so straightforwardly.
Is it close?
Before the brain could respond, Xia Xiangtong's body had already given a positive answer.
"How are your family members?" Although he knew he shouldn't ask so abruptly, Dongfang Yan couldn't help but ask.
Knowing clearly that she couldn't be Dongfang Qi, he still wanted to ask more questions, even if he completely denied his delusion.
"Fortunately, they are all in City A." Xia Xiangtong looked at him strangely, always feeling that he wanted to determine something through some questions. For example, her identity.
After hearing her answer, Dongfang Yan lowered his head and smiled bitterly. Sure enough, it was his delusion.
"You just said that I look very similar to a person. Is that person your lover?"
It was so affectionate that even she couldn't help but feel heart palpitations.
"Sister, my sister." Dongfang Yan's voice was very soft. If they weren't so close, Xia Xiangtong might not be able to hear her clearly at all.
"Is she okay?" Xia Xiangtong felt a slight pain in her heart. She didn't know if it was because his expression looked too painful.
"Many years ago, he died in an accident." Dongfang Yan's answer was simple, telling her more like telling himself.
In that accident, Dongfang Qi was already dead, and there would never be a miracle. Even if Xia Xiangtong and Dongfang Qi were somewhat similar, they were just similarities.
Xia Xiangtong looked at him apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't know."
"When I saw you just now, I thought..." They lied to him. After all, he was not present when Dongfang Qi's accident happened. When he came out, he could only see Dongfang Qi's tombstone, so even if everyone told him
His sister is dead, but he still has the last trace of fantasy in his heart.
"I don't think I can be your sister. I live in City A and have a family. Although my family background is not good, that's where I have always lived." Xia Xiangtong knew that it was cruel of her to say this, but she didn't want to give him anything.
hope, because she is not his sister.
A bitter smile spread on Dongfang Yan's face, and he nodded. He had always known this fact.
"Yan, what are you doing here?" Mu Lan ran over, looking very beautiful in a lake blue dress.
"Why are you here?" Dongfang Yan caught her running body, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and frowned, "I told you not to run around, but Luo Qing actually let you wear high heels?"
Dongfang Yan sighed and looked at Mu Lan tangledly. Well, he admitted that ten-year-old Mu Lan was much more mature than an ordinary little girl, with a good figure and height in all aspects, but her little dress and high heels seemed to be more mature.
It's a little too early.
"No way, who made you so tall? I wanted to dance with you, so Sister Luo Qing asked me to wear high heels." Mu Lan pouted, as if she was dissatisfied with Dongfang Yan's height.
"This is Miss Xia Xiangtong." Dongfang Yan introduced Mu Lan when he saw her looking at Xia Xiangtong beside her.
Who knows, Mu Lan blinked and shrugged pretending to be relaxed, "I know, it's the sister who had an affair with Brother Zixuan before and then appeared in the newspapers with Sister Luo Qing."
Xia Xiangtong blushed. She was a little embarrassed to be accused like this by a little girl.
"Mu Lan, apologize." Dongfang Yan frowned and said to Mu Lan in a deep voice. He could tolerate her usual liveliness, but he could not be pampered or overbearing.
"Yan..." Mu Lan looked at Dongfang Yan aggrievedly, biting her lip, her eyes filled with tears. Such Dongfang Yan's coldness frightened her.
Sighing, Dongfang Yan relented, stretched out his hand to pull Mu Lan, and whispered, "Miss Xia was invited to the wedding by your sister Luo Qing. Isn't it not good for you to treat guests like this?"
"I'm sorry." Mu Lan apologized timidly. She was a person who knew the current affairs. Since Dongfang Yan had softened his heart and spoke to her in a nice manner, it would be too willful for her to act nonsense again.
Dongfang Yan nodded and held Mu Lan's hand, "You came to see me for something?"
"Well, Brother George is looking for you everywhere." Mu Lan nodded, pulled Dongfang Yan and ran towards the center of the venue. Dongfang Yan nodded towards Xia Xiangtong and left with Mu Lan.
Xia Xiangtong, who was left behind, looked thoughtfully at Dongfang Yan's leaving figure.
His sister? Maybe?
She seemed to have suffered a serious illness when she was a child. She had no memories before the age of twelve. Every time she thought about recalling something, she would get a splitting headache. Over time, she no longer tried to think about the past.
Perhaps, she should go back and ask her mother if she had really stayed in that home since she was a child. Sometimes she would also wonder if she was the child of the father who called her a bastard whenever he was drunk.
