Chapter 962: Chapter 967: Engagement Banquet 12 Chapter 962: Chapter 967: Engagement Banquet 12 “Lieyan, I’m entrusting the lady to you. Please take care of her and Young Master Yi,” Ye Qi said.

“Yes, Brother Qi,” Lieyan quickly agreed.

Ye Qi gave Gu Qingxin another glance, then left.

“Lieyan, are you younger than Ye Qi?” Asked Gu Qingxin curiously.

“We rank by seniority, but I am indeed younger than him. I’m twenty this year,” Lieyan smiled.

“Twenty!” Gu Qingxin looked at him in surprise, he’s older than her by a year.

“What? Do I look too mature for my age?” Lieyan scratched his head in embarrassment.

“No, not at all, it’s just that you look mature, and a bit on the large side,” Gu Qingxin quickly shook her head.

Lieyan chuckled, and seeing him laugh, Xiao Yi joined in too.

…

Long Xuxu tried to take Beiming Han’s arm, but he skillfully avoided her attempts, saying, “I’m not used to strangers touching me.”

“Han, how can we be strangers? We’ve known each other since childhood, and after today, I’ll be your fiancée,” Long Xuxu said with a blush on her face.

“Not being used to it means not being used to it.” Beiming Han took a cup of wine and continued walking.

Long Xuxu didn’t dare to upset him now, so she could only follow quietly without trying to hold onto his arm. But after the ceremony, he should let her touch him, right?

Long Xuxu and Beiming Han talked for a bit, then went to meet the Long family elders. Long Xuxu’s father and grandfather were deep in conversation with several people. When they drew nearer, they greeted everyone.

“Han, today I’m entrusting my only precious granddaughter to you. You must treat her well,” Master Long’s gaze was sharp and shrewd.

“I will,” Beiming Han answered indifferently, giving sufficient face to Master Long.

Master Long nodded in satisfaction, asking, “Where’s your grandfather? How is that he’s not seen today?”

“He must have had some important matters to attend to and hasn’t returned yet, but he should be back soon,” Beiming Han replied, his attitude towards Master Long somewhat better.

“This old man! Running about on such an important day, the older he gets, the more scatter-brained he becomes!”

“Grandpa, I’m sure Grandpa Beiming must have some important matters to attend to,” Long Xuxu cooed as she took her grandfather’s arm.

“It’s said that young girls are outwardly-oriented. You aren’t even married yet and you’re already standing up for the Beiming family.”

“How could that be? I still love grandpa the most!”

Beiming Han took a light sip of the exquisite wine in his cup. It appeared that his grandfather wanted to utilize his engagement banquet to have Tang Rongling recognize her roots and return to the Beiming family.

He felt a twinge of worry in his heart. How would Gu Qingxin react if she found out?

…

Beiming Shasha walked to the back garden and saw Firefox from afar talking face-to-face with a girl who seemed to be crying. Firefox’s expression was impassive as he spoke to her.

Beiming Shasha deliberately stayed out of their line of sight as she slowly approached.

When she was close enough to hear their conversation, she stopped.

“Didn’t you say that you liked me?” The girl asked tearfully, her voice a bit low.

Beiming Shasha recognized this little maid; she was usually in the kitchen, but sometimes helped out in the front hall. She was pretty attractive.

Her brow furrowed — so Firefox had a girl.

“I’m very grateful to you for taking care of me while I was injured. I’m sorry for forgetting my duties. We should just pretend… nothing happened,” Firefox said coldly.

“You’ve never liked Miss Nine! You told me that you liked me!” The small maid suddenly raised her head, her eyes red as she demanded an answer.
