C73 Engagement Site

Xiao Yunyi stood in front of the window of the lounge on the thirteenth floor of the Sheng Yue Hotel, staring out at the myriad of lights outside. He was slightly at a loss in his heart.

He knew that this move was a lousy one, but if he did not continue, this move would be destroyed.

After hearing from Qiao Lin that Lan Xi had left, Xiao Yunyi felt a little uneasy.

"Lan Xi, you really can't hold it in," Xiao Yun thought.

He didn't want Lan Xi to come here. He really didn't want her to come here. He thought she would just do as she promised, but …

Xiao Yunyi thought for a moment, then picked up his phone to give Lan Xi a call. Before he could call Lan Xi, someone pushed open the door.

Mu Yalan, who wore a white dress that revealed her shoulders, walked in gracefully. Seeing that Xiao Yun was deep in thought, she walked over and held his arm, saying, "Big brother Xiao, why are you hiding here? The guests have all arrived, and the engagement banquet will soon begin.

Xiao Yun's eyes swept across her hand as Mu Yalan avoided his gaze but she still did not let go. With a pleading tone, she said, "Today is our engagement banquet. Grandfather, father, mother, and the others are waiting for us downstairs. Let's leave quickly."

Xiao Yunyi didn't say anything as he walked out of the room.

Before the engagement banquet began, Lan Xi entered with the invitation that Mu Yaran had given her. After Ling Que sent her over, he waited for her in the car.

Lan Xi didn't purposefully reveal herself in front of others. She avoided the stunned gazes of the guests and quietly walked upstairs.

The waiter asked for Xiao Yunyi's location, and Lan Xi found a corner to hide herself as she stared at the door to the lounge that Xiao Yunyi was in.

I still don't have the courage to walk up to him, Lan Xi thought. He must be even more handsome than usual today.

Not long after Lan Xi left, Mu Yaran arrived.

Today, she was even more proud and radiant than before. Lan Xi couldn't help but feel more bitter as she looked at Mu Ru Yue knock on the lounge door and enter.

The two of them grew up in the sun while the other lived in the dark. How could they be comparable?

When Lan Xi saw Mu Ya Ran enter, she immediately had the thought of leaving. However, when she thought about how she hadn't even seen Xiao Yunyi today, she held back.

Lan Xi couldn't come in vain, she advised herself. She continued to stay in the corner and quietly observed.

Not long later, Xiao Yunyi and Mu Yaran left the lounge one after the other.

Mu Yaran naturally wrapped her arm around Xiao Yunyi's arm. The latter glanced at her and did not refuse.

When Mu Yaran walked out of the room, she felt that someone was watching them. Glancing around, she saw a patch of blue skirt hidden behind the vase. When she thought about how the waiter had arranged for Lan Xi to arrive, she smiled and guessed that it was Lan Xi.

"Big Brother Xiao." Mu Yaran called out in a tender voice, "I see that your tie is a little crooked. Let me tidy it up for you."

Without waiting for Xiao Yunyi's reply, she tip-toed and tilted her head to tidy Xiao Yunyi's bow tie. From Lan Xi's point of view, it looked like they were kissing.

Ye Zichen swiped his nails on the wall, causing an ear-piercing sound, which attracted the attention of the two people over there.

Lan Xi subconsciously dodged as Mu Yaran called out to him in time. Xiao Yunyi didn't see Lan Xi.

Giving Xiao Yun a bright smile, Mu Yalan once again carried him and said, "Alright, let's go. Everyone is waiting for us."

Xiao Yunyi nodded and the two of them brought him downstairs.

"Next, let us welcome the male and female protagonists of today, the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Yunyi, and the young miss of the Mu family, Mu Yaran, to the stage."

The host excitedly said as he pointed in their direction.

The gazes from the surroundings also followed his hand and looked in the direction of the two people.

Xiao Yunyi's expression was cold, but the noble temperament that the two of them possessed was very compatible with each other. The guests were all sighing. This was truly a perfect pair.

The few people who were closer to Father Mu all congratulated him when they saw him and Mu Yaran enter the stage arm in arm. "Director Mu, you've found a good son-in-law."

"Looks like your family is going to go up a level. We have all heard of this Director Xiao's abilities. In the future, with the help of the Xiao family, your family will be even more powerful. "

"That's right, that's right. If there's any good projects in the future, don't forget about us."

"Naturally." As his father answered, his smile never left his face since the engagement banquet. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this marriage. "My greetings to all of you. Old Mu will never forget any good things that have happened to you."

Old Man Xiao had been sitting on the sofa the entire time. Very few people dared to disturb him due to his presence and position. However, because it was Xiao Yunyi's engagement banquet today, he revealed a rare look of joy, allowing the people who wanted to grow eyes in front of him to find an opportunity to chat.

After Xiao Yunyi appeared, Old Man Xiao stood up and walked in his direction.

When the others saw the old man's actions, they all gave way to him and continuously congratulated him. Xiao Yunyi's parents also received their congratulations as they followed behind him.

The host welcomed the few of them onto the stage for them to speak. Although Xiao Yunyi and Mu Yaran were standing together, they still had a deadpan expression on their faces.

The host immediately said, "Director Xiao must be too happy. Furthermore, we all know that Director Xiao is usually like this, so it won't be difficult for us to help him. If the young couple has anything to say to them, they can say it in private."

Regardless of whether they believed it or not, everyone was fooled by this excuse.

Not long after Mu Yaran and Xiao Yunyi left, Lan Xi came down from the second floor. She had hidden herself amongst the guests as she calmly looked at the stage.

She didn't know if Xiao Yunyi could see her, but she didn't care anymore. She only looked at the people on the stage and felt that they were a family. She also felt that there were so many people in her Xiao Yunyi's group.

"I announce that from next week onwards, the Xiao and Mu Families will collaborate on a new cooperation project."

Old Man Xiao's sonorous and forceful voice rang out on the stage, and a round of enthusiastic applause instantly erupted from below the stage.

When Lan Xi regained her senses and looked up the stage, she saw that Xiao Yunyi had already disappeared from sight. Her father took the initiative to shake hands with Old Master Xiao.

Lan Xi wasn't able to see Xiao Yunyi, so she lost interest in this banquet. However, when she wanted to leave, she was pushed onto the dance floor by the crowd.

The host's voice rang again, "Next, let's have the main characters of today's engagement banquet, Xiao Yunyi and Miss Mu Yaran, perform today's first dance."
