Chapter 713: Chapter 714: He Has The Capital to Love at First Sight
Xi Zijun’s words were clearly tentative.
Perhaps it was because Gu Qichen was nearby.
But Xia Yangyang couldn’t deny it now.
Everyone had different positions.
Xia Yangyang never imagined that her second brother’s biggest competitor was Xi Zijun.
Xia Yangyang didn’t respond to this.
However, it was Li Zhiqian who quietly said, “I heard Miss Xi just got married recently; I presume the lucky gentleman is this man standing by her side.”
Li Zhiqian successfully shifted the attention away from Xia Yangyang.
At this point, more guests arrived.
The Countess, holding Alexander the Count’s arm, said, “Since you all know each other, why don’t you chat first? We will have lunch together later.”
Then the Countess and the Count went to attend to other guests.
Left alone, the four of them were enveloped by a sudden silence.
The sound of music flowed in the grand hall.
But for a moment, it seemed as if all other sounds and sights had vanished.
Xia Yangyang’s heart was pounding rapidly.
Seeing Gu Qichen under these circumstances made it difficult to hide her conflicting emotions.
There was a champagne tower right by them.
Xi Zijun took a few glasses from the top and handed them over.
She said with a smile, “At such a memorable moment, shall we toast?”
Li Zhiqian and Xia Yangyang both took their glasses.
Gu Qichen also took a glass, his voice cold, “Yes, let’s make this a good drink.”
The four of them clinked their glasses in a ceremonial manner and each took a sip.
After finishing his drink, Li Zhiqian casually put his glass on the French long table next to him, “You two can chat at your leisure.”
With these words, he took Xia Yangyang’s hand and departed.
Only after turning around did Xia Yangyang seem to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yet, Xia Yangyang always felt as if someone’s gaze was lingering on her.
Li Zhiqian said to Xia Yangyang, “You handled yourself quite well just now.”
“Did I? I don’t think so.”
“Are you still hung up on your ex-husband?”
Xia Yangyang forced a smile, “No.”
“Yangyang, did you know that you always smile when you’re lying? If you still like him, I can help you take him back from Xi Zijun completely. What do you think?”
Xia Yangyang was somewhat puzzled by Li Zhiqian’s words.
Take him back? How could it be so easy?
Plus, she never liked to grab.
However, Xia Yangyang was a little curious, “If you really did, how would you do it?”
A warm smile appeared on Li Zhiqian’s face, “You don’t need to know, just leave it to me.”
Could Li Zhiqian be serious?
Xia Yangyang hurriedly declined.
She didn’t want to cause any trouble here.
But before she could say anything.
A blond teenage girl in a princess dress came rushing down the stairs.
A group of governesses were following behind her.
As they ran, they called out a name, presumably the girl’s name.
But they were speaking French, which Xia Yangyang couldn’t understand.
The girl ran down the stairs, but when she reached the last few steps, she stepped on her long dress hem.
She tumbled down the stairs.
Lucky, Li Zhiqian quickly darted forward, catching her just in time.
She nearly fell into Li Zhiqian’s arms.
When the girl looked up at Li Zhiqian, she seemed taken aback.
The man’s black coat and the girl’s pink princess dress.
Even though it was a fall, it looked a lot like the posture of a waltz dance.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yangyang felt as if she was witnessing a love-at-first-sight moment between a prince and a princess from a Taiwanese drama series.
Upon reflection, she realized that her second brother had enough qualities to make a woman fall in love at first sight.
