"Waiting for my red envelope? Then you’ll have to wait a long time." Feng Tianzhi leaned comfortably against the chair and wore a breezy expression.
"Brother Feng, you say that..." Ma Tengyue turned his head to look at Luo Ye, "Little Sister, Brother Feng is indeed a real gem among people, you better watch."
"Tengyue!" Jing Chen reprimanded, frowning slightly, "Since when did you become so nagging?"
"Ah? Haha..." Ma Tengyue laughed off, "Who wouldn’t, chatting with Brother Feng is so relaxing, can’t help but meddle a little. Brother Feng, Little Luo, I’ll punish myself with three glasses for stirring things up."
As he said that, he really downed the wine from the goblet in front of him. When he poured again, Feng Tianzhi stopped him: "Alright, the event hasn’t even started and you plan to get yourself drunk, that’s not good."
"How could my little tricks fool Brother Feng..." Ma Tengyue laughed and looked at Jing Chen, "Brother, you’re not being fair, only introducing me to Brother Feng now, even though we’re supposed to be as close as peas in a pod."
"I haven’t been in contact with Tianzhi for years either, you can’t blame me." Jing Chen chuckled and raised his glass, "Tianzhi, among everyone here, I’m the oldest, so without further ado, I’ll take the first toast, to us reuniting after so many years. Cheers!"
The three men drank all at once, Luo Ye and Jing Xi also raised their glasses and touched their lips.
Lowering her glass, Luo Ye noticed Jing Xi texting.
It seemed that tonight would be interesting, the self-made decision by Young Master Jing seemed to have pushed Miss Jing to her limit.
That’s how couples in love are, the more you press, the more fiercely they fight back. Well, both siblings are quite amusing, she may as well help keep an eye for them.
Moreover, given Dad’s manner of doing things, being on good terms with Secretary Jing suggests that Secretary Jing is also an upright person, so lending a hand is worthwhile.
When Jing Xi raised her head, she happened to meet Luo Ye’s gaze, and she smiled awkwardly. After a brief hesitation, she leaned closer to Luo Ye: "Don’t tell my brother first."
Luo Ye nodded silently.
"He treats me very well, and he has great ambition." As if to prove she made the right choice, Jing Xi added.
Luo Ye nodded again, still silent.
Jing Xi showed a hint of disappointment and withdrew, saying nothing more.
"Jing Xi, did you invite your boyfriend?" Feng Tianzhi, who had been watching Luo Ye and Jing Xi’s small movements, spoke, clearly disapproving of Jing Xi’s behavior.
"Ah?" Jing Xi responded blankly, glanced guiltily at her brother, unsure what to say.
"Jing Chen, you surely wish the best for our sister, but Xiao Xi certainly has her own thoughts. How about this, we all help keep an eye together.
Honestly, I always feel you interfere with Xiao Xi a bit too much; she’s over twenty and can make her own decisions.
What you think is good may not be to her liking, and what she likes might not be inappropriate, don’t you agree?" Ma Tengyue quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Xiao Xi, did you really arrange for him?" Jing Chen stared at his sister with a stern expression.
"Yes." Jing Xi answered with her head down.
"Did he agree to come?" Jing Chen pursued further.
"Yeah." Jing Xi hung her head even lower.
After a brief silence, Jing Chen sighed: "How long until he arrives?"
"About an hour." Jing Xi replied softly, like a mosquito.
"Why so long?"
"He is currently dealing with clients." Jing Xi peeked quickly at her brother, "Everything he has must be earned through his own efforts."
"Alright, for now, your body is here and keep your mind here too. When he comes later, after everyone has met him, we’ll do an anonymous vote.
If it’s only me who thinks he’s unsuitable, it means my judgment is flawed. If more than half think he’s unsuitable, you’ll break up immediately, alright?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"What if exactly half think he’s unsuitable?"
If half think he’s not suitable, I’ll give you time. If you still insist he’s the one, I won’t stop you anymore, okay?"
"Okay!" Jing Xi’s voice instantly became cheerful, with a layer of joy in her eyes and brows. Realizing her reaction might be too eager, she smiled embarrassedly and looked at the server: "Give us five Australian lobsters, add it to the bill." freёwebnovel.com
"Yes." The server responded and retreated.
Jing Xi smiled and got up: "I’m personally very fond of this dish, but can only indulge during New Year, so I’m putting all my savings into showing my sincerity."
