Chapter 408: Chapter 402: Tang Honghe Makes a Move
Qiao Xi just knew his mind wasn’t pure, she rolled her eyes and withdrew her hand.
The ceremony had already ended.
The banquet had officially begun.
Lin Muxian had changed into a toast dress and, arm in arm with Qu Jiashu, made her way to their table to toast them.
Following behind were Tang Honghe and Qu Keke, both carrying wine trays.
Qu Jiashu picked up a champagne glass and raised it towards them, "After the banquet ends, let’s continue the party at Xiaotang Mountain. None of you are allowed to run off."
He was all smiles.
Xie Baola had been fiddling with her phone the whole time, she looked up upon hearing this and said, "I have something later on, so I won’t go. Have fun yourselves."
Qu Jiashu’s smile faltered, "What’s so important, Baola, that you have to leave on my wedding day? That’s really letting down our decades of friendship."
"Yeah, Baola, if it’s not something important, let’s all go and have fun together," Lin Muxian also urged.
Xie Baola gave a lazy smile, "You all have completed your big life event, I have to complete mine too. There will still be plenty of chances to hang out together in the future, we won’t be missing out on just this one evening."
Lin Muxian was momentarily taken aback but then her eyes and brows relaxed as she grinned, "Jiashu, it looks like it won’t be long before we can celebrate Baola’s wedding too."
"Yeah."
Qu Jiashu tipped back his head and finished off the wine in his glass, though it was a fine, sweet red wine, he found it excessively bitter.
Perhaps because he had drunk too much tonight.
He squinted, looking at Xie Baola with a half-smile, "Baola, strive to get married this year."
Xie Baola laughed, "I’ll try."
Her smile was always brimming with confidence.
Qu Jiashu looked at her deeply for a few seconds, then averted his gaze.
Not marrying the one he loved was like a soldier surrendering to life.
So be it...
After the wedding banquet, Xie Baola left.
The rest headed to Xiaotang Mountain.
On the way, Qiao Xi sent a message to Xie Baola.
[Qiao Xi: What’s going on between you and Brother Jiayan now?]
[Xie Baola: Could probably spend New Year’s together with him this year?]
Qiao Xi: "..."
What did she mean by ending with a question mark?
So did she get him, or not?
[Qiao Xi: Are you saying you might bring Brother Jiayan home for New Year’s and celebrate with Uncle Xie?]
Was this what she meant?
Thinking about how Xie Baola had been pursuing someone that long, one could tell she was really sincere.
[Xie Baola: As long as your brother agrees.]
There was a smiley face included.
Qiao Xi was silent.
She never imagined that her best friend could one day also become her sister-in-law.
[Xie Baola: Baby, you can congratulate me first.]
[Qiao Xi: Then I’ll congratulate you first.]
[Xie Baola: Mwah, I’m not going to chat with you for now!]
"Xixi."
Hearing Shen Dang’s voice, Qiao Xi lifted her eyes to look at him, "What’s up?"
Shen Dang nonchalantly said, "Madam Shen and Grandpa have asked me several times whether you are coming home for the New Year, they all miss you, but I haven’t agreed to them yet, I came to ask about your thoughts first."
Shen Dang gave her freedom to a certain extent.
He wouldn’t make decisions on her behalf even for the small things.
This was respect.
He respected her, and Qiao Xi would likewise respect him.
Qu Keke had done that "good" deed, letting everyone know they were re-marrying.
Qiao Xi’s refusal to meet the parents seemed meaningless now.
It was just a change of relationship.
Before, she would have visited as Shen Dang’s wife, now she would go as his girlfriend... Anyway, meeting the parents was inevitable.
After a brief thought, Qiao Xi said to Shen Dang, "I don’t have work during New Year, so I can go."
The atmosphere of the Shen Family’s home was always a warmth she coveted.
If she didn’t go to the Shen Family’s house for New Year, Shen Dang would definitely accompany her at her home, and then Grandpa and Madam Shen wouldn’t have anyone to celebrate with.
There was no need to create such a situation.
Upon hearing Qiao Xi’s agreement, Shen Dang finally let out a breath of relief, "Grandpa and Madam Shen will definitely be very happy."
Their car stopped outside Xiaotang Mountain, and just so happened Sheng Chao also arrived by car.
Together they entered the private room.
Not long after, Qu Jiashu arrived with his new bride and other friends.
The moment Tang Honghe entered, he made a beeline for Shen Dang.
"Brother Dang."
Shen Dang lazily lifted an eyelid, "What’s up?"
Tang Honghe glanced around at the people and hesitated, "I have a question for you, could you step out for a moment?"
Shen Dang leaned back nonchalantly, with an air of authority, "Don’t you see I’m accompanying your sister-in-law? I’m busy. Say what you need to, we’re all friends here."
Tang Honghe: "It’s just not convenient to talk about in front of everyone."
"Why don’t you ask me?" Sheng Chao shot him a look.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Honghe agreed, "Alright, Brother Chao, you come, I’ll ask you—there really is something important."
After saying this, he also offered a flattery, "Brother Chao, in my heart, your status is now even higher than Brother Dang’s!"
Sheng Chao chuckled and went outside the private room with Tang Honghe.
Shen Dang clicked his tongue, "I’ll go see what that idiot is up to."
Qiao Xi started laughing, "Go ahead."
After Shen Dang left, Su Tutu came over.
"Tang Honghe isn’t planning anything tonight, is he?"
She couldn’t help but speculate.
Qiao Xi didn’t understand, "Planning what?"
While others were singing, playing cards, and dice games, chaos ensued.
Su Tutu leaned towards Qiao Xi’s ear and covered her lips, "You didn’t go upstairs before the wedding started and don’t know about it, but Brother Chao and I came up earlier and accidentally saw Tang Honghe and Qu Keke at the end of the corridor. Not sure what they were doing, but as soon as they saw us, they immediately scattered. Isn’t that suspicious?"
Actually, everyone could see that something unsual seemed to be going on between Tang Honghe and Qu Keke since the last time.
But since nothing was admitted, others dared not jump to conclusions.
Hearing Su Tutu say this, Qiao Xi paused before saying, "...I have no idea."
Su Tutu’s brows lifted slightly, "Let’s just watch and see."
Shen Dang and Sheng Chao returned to the private room, but there was no sign of Tang Honghe.
Curiously, Qiao Xi asked, "What did Tang Honghe want with you guys?"
Shen Dang looked into her curious eyes and curved the corner of his mouth, "He wanted our advice."
Qiao Xi: "?"
Shen Dang leaned close to her ear and whispered something, causing Qiao Xi to smile subtly, the corners of her lips curving with a hint of amusement.
She glanced towards Qu Keke, who was currently engrossed in playing cards with others.
She wondered what her reaction would be later.
"Drink?"
Seeing Shen Dang looking at her with a thick smile, she immediately shook her head, "No, I’ll just have juice."
Encouraging someone who can’t handle alcohol to drink was suspicious.
Shen Dang couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing her defensive look, he leaned closer and whispered something that only the two of them could hear.
Qiao Xi blushed, glowering dryly at Shen Dang and shifted to the side to distance herself from him.
Shen Dang took advantage of reaching for a drink to move closer and even pulled her hand onto his leg, leaving Qiao Xi with nowhere to vent her frustration.
She laughed without amusement, "That’s enough from you!"
