Every single time Qu Yaobing saw a car drive in, his eyes would light up. But when he saw who it was, his eyes would dim. His wife Murong Ying had noticed his strange behavior long ago. If it wasn’t for her good sisters by her side, she wouldn’t be able to get away for the time being and she would have gone over to ask.
However, when Murong Ying was talking to her little sisters, her gaze would occasionally fall on her husband, Qu Yaobing.
The Qu family wasn’t the only one here waiting for Chen Meng’er’s arrival. Yuwen Jing was also waiting forher. He had long heard from Chen Meng’er that she would be attending the Qu family’s banquet. Only this reason was Yuwen Jing so easy to talk to this time. Otherwise, Yuwen Jing would rather listen to his grandfather’s long-winded lecture than come to such a boring place.
Time passed by, and it was getting closer and closer to the start of the Qu family’s birthday banquet. The Qu brothers looked anxious. Others might not know this, but their partners could see it clearly. They were all puzzled in their hearts. What was wrong with their men today?
“Sir, it’s time. Do you see?” Uncle Wu, the security guard, was well aware of the reason why Elder Qu had held this birthday banquet in such a grand manner. And now, the chief guest had yet to arrive.
“What time is it? I think there’s something wrong with your watch.” Although Elder Qu was exchanging greetings with Marquis Yuwen and the others, only he knew that his heart was not in it at all. His gaze would occasionally drift to the entrance of the banquet. Elder Qu was just about to throw a tantrum at Uncle Wu, but before he could say anything, he saw the face that he had been longing for. No matter how furious he was, the anger in his heart was instantly extinguished. “Yes, the time is up. Announce the start.”
Elder Qu’s 360-degree change in attitude caused the guests present to be unable to make heads nor tails of it.
Marquis Yuwen, who was closest to Elder Qu, raised his brows when he saw Elder Qu’s face change faster than flipping through a book. He followed Elder Qu’s gaze and sawChen Meng’er, who was unbelievably beautiful. His first reaction was to look at his grandson, Yuwen Jing, who was standing beside him. He wondered, “Why was this kid so easy to talk to this time?” The moment he opened his mouth, he only furrowed his brows, he realized. So, it was because Meng’er was attending.
“Good kid, so you knew that Meng’er would come. But you are too mean. Since you knew that Meng’er would come, you didn’t inform me in advance.” As Marquis Yuwen spoke, he took a step ahead of Yuwen Jing, and went up to welcome Chen Meng’er.
But Marquis Yuwen was still a step behind. Qu Yaobing had already taken a step ahead of him and went up to welcome Chen Meng’er. Although Qu Yaobing did not have much of an excited expression on his face, those who were familiar with Qu Yaobing knew how excited Qu Yaobing was.
“Little sis, do you know this brat? Yaobing has personally come forward to welcome her. With her looks, she must be a vixen’s child.” Murong Qin said in a flat tone. However, Murong Qin’s tone could not hide her envy and jealousy.
Murong Ying did not respond to her eldest sister’s words. However, when she saw her husband’s expression that was completely different from before, her heart tightened. Her hands that were hanging by her sides were already tightly clenched. She was also wondering who this beautiful girl was.
