Chapter 235: Family Gathering Turbulence （1）
Ji Xiangyu pulled Qing Tian to her feet and said to Peng Lele, “Lele, thank you for your help tonight. I will definitely give you a handsome man as a reward!”
Peng Lele smiled happily and said, “It is my honor to have the chance to dress up such a beautiful princess. As for a handsome man, you should keep him for yourself!”
Qing Tian was amused and giggled. Ji Xiangyu looked at Qing Tian’s beautiful smile, and his heart fluttered!
He quietly kissed Qing Tian on the cheek and said, “Super beautiful!”
Qing Tian pushed him, a symbolic push that she didn’t dare to put any real force into, making it look more like a pout. “You’re the most glib, but Mr. Ji Xiangyu, you’re not bad either!”
After speaking, they both burst into laughter. Qing Tian linked arms with Ji Xiangyu and they walked out!
Peng Lele looked enviously at the perfect couple and sighed, “Is there any man in the world more perfect than Ji Xiangyu? Sigh~~~”
However, Ji Xiangyu was not her type. She preferred a challenge, like a cold prince, a true ice mountain!
The banquet had not officially started, but many guests were already seated. Although it was a Ji Family Gathering, it was more of a meet-up. The Ji family was very large, and everyone was engaged in different businesses. The gathering also included old friends of the Ji family from various industries and fields.
It was simply a meet-up of a bunch of tycoons and another bunch of tycoons!
Let’s define it as such for now!
Qing Tian stood by the window on the second floor, looking out at the large lawn. The crowds coming and going, there were few people she recognized!
She wanted to help, but Ji Xiangyu had instructed her not to leave his side. This time, she didn’t dare to go anywhere else, just stood there!
The door was knocked. As she turned, she saw Xia Yang walking in, dressed in a gray suit. Xia Yang smiled slightly, not a very obvious smile, and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Qing Tian relaxed her mood and said, “Not very well, they seem difficult to get along with!”
Xia Yang also smiled with ease, “I actually feel the same. However, don’t leave Ji Xiangyu’s side for a while, because Situ Jingyi and Li Mei are also here. I’m afraid they might do something unfavorable to you!”
Qing Tian understood and looked at Xia Yang gratefully, “Xia Yang, thank you!”
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Xia Yang asked the doubt in his heart, “When are you getting married?”
Qing Tian turned her back to him and looked out the window, but her gaze lost focus. “Ji Xiangyu said next month. Will you attend then? I know this is an excessive request, but~~~~”
Before she could finish speaking, her shoulders were covered by two hands. Xia Yang’s voice reached her ears, “Don’t worry, I will always wish you happiness. I’ve thought a lot about it. Whether it was five years ago or now, we ultimately cannot be husband and wife. But, we had the fate to meet and know each other. Why let this relationship be destroyed? If we can’t be a couple, then I’ll be happy just watching you be happy!”
Qing Tian said earnestly, “Xia Yang, I~~~ I just hope that while I am happy, you can also be happy and find someone who loves you, to grow old together. Promise me, can you?”
Xia Yang looked into the distance, and after a long silence, he said, “Okay!”
Just one word, yet it was filled with complex emotions!
The two stood quietly by the window, looking out at the world!
This moment of tranquility was broken by another person. Peng Lele said softly, “I don’t know if I’m disturbing you two?”
Qing Tian and Xia Yang turned around together. Xia Yang frowned slightly as he looked at Peng Lele and said politely, “Miss Peng!”
The coldness in their expressions and tone startled Peng Lele!
Peng Lele said awkwardly, “Um, you are?”
Qing Tian quickly introduced, “Xia Yang, General Manager of Holy Court Garden!”
Peng Lele said “Oh” and ignored Xia Yang, instead saying to Qing Tian, “Xiao Yu asked me to take you to the backyard. The banquet is about to start!”
Qing Tian held the hem of her skirt, nodded slightly, and then looked at Xia Yang, “Let’s go together!”
Xia Yang shook his head, “I’m going to see Grandfather!”
After speaking, Xia Yang glanced at Peng Lele and left!
Peng Lele linked arms with Qing Tian and asked curiously, “Is he also from the Ji family?”
