972. Chapter 972 How to keep singing after watching a good show
Gong Shaoming was dressed in a black dress, his tall body stood still, his face softened slightly, he avoided Minister Xu's words and stretched out his hand towards Xu Aizhen.
Xu Aizhen was stunned for a moment, then put her hand on Gong Shaoming's, released Minister Xu's hand, and stood beside Gong Shaoming.
"I was delayed because of something and I came late."
Gong Shaoming's voice was very low, and his tone was unconsciously tinged with fatigue.
When Xu Aizhen heard this, the grievances she felt just now disappeared. A touch of distress flashed across her eyes, and she smiled tenderly, "It doesn't matter to me. It's my father who loves his daughter so much. You don't blame him, do you?"
"Jen'er..."
"Dad, the guests have been waiting for a long time. Shaoming has just arrived. Why don't you let him take a break to meet the elders? If there is anything, let's discuss it later, okay?"
She was worried that Gong Shaoming would not come because of that woman. Now that he finally showed up, she would never care about anything at this time.
Even if they want to question, they have to wait until they complete the engagement ceremony and officially become an unmarried couple...
"..."
With Xu Aizhen's excuse, Minister Xu didn't speak again and allowed Xu Aizhen to pull Gong Shaoming to the guest area, picked up two glasses of champagne from the waiter's tray, and responded to everyone's blessings and greetings one by one.
The engagement ceremony had not yet begun, but Xu Aizhen had already introduced herself as the young lady of the Gong family. Many people believed that the engagement banquet was already a done deal from the moment Gong Shaoming appeared.
"Qi Mingye, let me go. I will go up and disembowel Gong Shaoming today to see what his heart looks like!"
Gu Qianqian watched from the sidelines as Xu Aizhen dragged Gong Shaoming among the guests. The bright smile on her face was in sharp contrast to Gu Qianqian's depressed mood.
If An Moran were here and saw the man he loved being held by another woman to declare sovereignty, he would probably even fake a smile and stop laughing.
"The champagne prepared by the palace family is good. The concentration is a little lower than ordinary champagne. Do you want to have a drink?"
Noticing that Gong Shaoming was looking towards him, Qi Mingye reached out and picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, and raised the glass to Gong Shaoming with a sly smile on his lips.
He looked at Gong Shaoming and then lowered his eyes to comfort his angry wife.
Qi Mingye has never liked Gu Qianqian drinking any alcoholic beverages, so it was rare for him to take the initiative to ask about it today.
It's a pity that Gu Qianqian was so angry that she didn't even think about champagne. When she saw Gong Shaoming and Xu Aizhen standing together, she just wanted to rush forward and tear them apart!
Qi Mingye was not angry, and still held Gu Qianqian's little hand firmly, preventing her from doing anything shocking.
There is a smile on the corner of the mouth, waiting to see how this good show will continue...

The secret road was winding and twisting like an ileum for a long time before An Moran finally walked out of the outskirts of the Gong family's mansion under the leadership of Gu Yuanbao.
"Okay, we finally came out. Are you tired, godmother?"
Gu Yuanbao rubbed An Moran's hand distressedly, rubbing his chubby hands left and right, but he did not warm An Moran's cold palm.
The secret tunnel was dug in a hurry, and most of the places were very narrow. His body was fine, but An Moran was an adult and it would not be easy for him to walk.
An Moran didn't say anything along the way, he just followed Gu Yuanbao with his body propped up, and the way he held himself up was heartbreaking.
