When Xiao Yan thought of this point, he suddenly hugged Qiao Mo. Qiao Mo was startled, and his hands hugged him as well, as he asked: "Ah Yan, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yan's arm slowly tightened. Qiao Mo could feel her uneasiness.
He didn't speak for a long time.
Qiao Mo was a little suspicious. She worriedly asked him again: "Ah Yan, what's wrong?"
Qiao Mo slightly raised her head, seeing that his face was slightly pale, her small hand extended forward, and nervously asked: "Could he be sick?"
Xiao Yan took her small hands away, his gaze deep and focused, "I'm fine."
Qiao Mo frowned her eyebrows, half believing and half doubting, was he really alright?
Xiao Yan was afraid that she would be worried, hence he changed the topic: "Right, it's almost the new year, the Xiao's will hold a new year's annual meeting."
Qiao Mo's train of thoughts was immediately pulled towards her. She had not gone to the Xiao's's annual gathering yet, nor did she have an open and honorable identity. When her wife appeared in front of all the employees of the Xiao's, she could not help but feel a sense of anticipation.
She leaned over and blinked at him like a child. Can you take me there? "
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, slightly frowning.
Qiao Mo thought that he was unhappy, "Forget it …"
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yan stroked her hair and laughed: "You're almost eight months pregnant, do you really have the energy from last year?"
Qiao Mo joyously snuggled into his embrace, "It's just an annual meeting, so it's not that weak."
Besides, she had him with her, so she wasn't afraid of any accidents.
Even if something happened, he could still protect her, couldn't he?
… ….
Not only were there the employees of Xiao's's company and a few senior executives, there were also a lot of famous figures in the business and political circles. Their clothes were fragrant, and they shone with glazed light.
When Xiao Yan arrived, the light bulbs released a crackling sound, and the originally bustling venue immediately quieted down, as everyone's gaze turned to look at the host of the grand banquet.
In the past, Xiao Yan was alone, his black clothes biting cold, with his hands behind his back, like a proud and aloof cold moon, and this year, everyone noticed a young lady standing beside the godlike man with a bulging stomach. He held onto his wife's small hand, and with a gentle gaze, he automatically opened up a path for her in the large, crowded hall.
The banquet had yet to begin, and Xiao Yan had already embraced Qiao Mo's shoulders as he greeted all the guests present. All of them were praising the perfect couple, some were sincere, some were fawning on them, and some even introduced Xiao Yan to the others: "This is my wife, Qiao Mo."
Qiao Mo's heart was sweet, stuffed full of satisfaction. Her small hands clenched tightly in Xiao Yan's big hands, and smiled sweetly at him.
The interaction and eye contact between the two was extremely natural, almost envious.
Qiao Mo was wearing a purple elegant evening gown, the fabric beneath her chest was flowing and hanging down, even though her stomach was a bit big, she did not feel that it was too sudden.
After becoming pregnant, although Qiao Mo still looked young, sshe exuded a kind of noble and elegant motherly aura. Standing beside Xiao Yan, he did not lose out in the slightest.
Waiting for Xiao Yan to quickly go up and speak, he whispered softly into Qiao Mo's ear. "Can you all by yourself? Do you need me to call Assistant Zhao over? "
Qiao Mo was helpless, she smiled and shook her head, "I'm not a three year old child, I'm fine."
Qiao Mo stood below the stage and watched Xiao Yan's upright back. She passed through the crowd and walked towards the stage.
Below the stage, many people took the opportunity to greet her.
"Mrs. Xiao, it's my honor to meet you. I didn't expect you to be so young."
No one knew whose daughter it was, but when she brought a cup of wine to talk to her, Qiao Mo was too embarrassed to refuse, she could only smile.
An elegant woman, seeing that Qiao Mo was only in her twenties, she did not think that she would become Mrs. Xiao. Presumably, this little lady was not that extraordinary.
The woman asked: "Mrs. Xiao, you are still young, are you still studying? What sort of prestigious university is abroad? "
Qiao Mo was a little drowsy. She had already graduated three years ago, and now, she was already a stepmother.
Besides, she wasn't a strong woman. She had to get to postdoctoral level.
"I graduated a long time ago."
The woman was slightly startled, then immediately changed the subject and laughed: "Oh, then I presume Mrs. Xiao graduated from a famous university? I seem to rarely see Mrs. Xiao, could it be that I don't often appear at banquets? I don't know... Which family is Mrs. Xiao from? "
Qiao Mo smiled, she was not angry at this unfamiliar woman's rudeness, and only replied politely: "I studied in the Haicheng University, and I'm not the daughter of an entrepreneur. So, it's normal for you to be unfamiliar with me. "
The woman's finger that was holding the goblet trembled slightly as the corner of her mouth curved into a mocking smile. A woman that was completely powerless and had no family, how could she be worthy of Xiao Yan?
To be able to match up to Shanghai City's Mr. Xiao, he must be from an illustrious family with exceptional conditions and a well-known birth.
Qiao Mo laughed indifferently, neither servile nor overbearing.
The lady pursed her red lips, feeling slightly awkward: "Miss Qiao, I saw someone I know over there, so I'll be taking my leave. The banquet is a pleasure."
The woman lightly tapped her wine cup towards her and left in an alluring manner with an elegant smile.
Qiao Mo stood there in a daze, watching the woman disappear into the crowd of people, she found it funny.
That woman, was first intimately called "Mrs. Xiao", then found out about all of her family background, and then changed her address to "Miss Qiao." Could it be, that she, Qiao Mo, was destined to be unworthy of Xiao Yan?
However, how could Qiao Mo care about those outsiders?
Those onlookers were just floating clouds. How could they understand the relationship between her and Xiao Yan?
As long as she felt better, it would be fine.
However, the noisy crowd and the atmosphere in the hall didn't suit her at all.
Suddenly, someone squeezed behind him and turned around. Qiao Mo looked down at his waist and saw that the red wine had been poured onto his dress.
As she raised her head to look at the perpetrator, Su Qingwan's almond-shaped eyes sized her up with a faint smile. "Long time no see. Too, too, too, too."
This woman was clearly doing this on purpose. Even though Qiao Mo was not an obsession with cleanliness, she could not tolerate the red wine on his skirt. Her small hands slightly lifted the dirty hem of his skirt as she said angrily: "What are you trying to do?"
Qiao Mo would never forget the hatred and hatred she had towards her in Vienna. She had long treated Su Qingwan as her real enemy.
Her figure was very tall, and she had the standard model's figure. In comparison, Qiao Mo was the typical Eastern female, who was barely 1.6 meters tall, so Su Qingwan naturally had a bit of a domineering and domineering attitude in front of Qiao Mo. She looked down at Qiao Mo condescendingly, "Why, do you simply hate to see me, or are you truly afraid of me … will they steal your Ah Yan? "
Her words made Qiao Mo clench the hem of her dress tightly.
The man on the stage was in the middle of his speech. His eyes scanned the crowd and found a small figure. He said into the microphone, "Sorry."
After pausing for a moment, he walked down the stage in front of the doubtful gazes of the crowd, striding towards his wife.
Qiao Mo's face turned slightly pale. She suddenly felt a wave of energy from behind and gently embraced her from behind. Then, she held her hand and suddenly flung Su Qing Wan's exquisite makeup on her face.
Mr. Xiao's eyes were warm and tender as he whispered into his wife's ear, "Mrs. Xiao, show off your aura."
Su Qingwan's eyes stared straight at Xiao Yan and Qiao Mo in disbelief. Qiao Mo's fingers were even trembling, she had never slapped a woman's face like this before.
She hadn't even fought with anyone before.
Qiao Mo's heart was beating extremely quickly. Looking at her own red palm and then looking at Su Bi's swollen face that was clearly imprinted with five finger marks, she was stunned to the point that she couldn't say a single word.
Until Xiao Yan pulled her, turned around in his wide chest, pinched her small hands, and blew on her red palms gently. He was so gentle that water almost dripped down: "Did you make Little Mo hurt?"
Su Qingwan was both angry and resentful from that slap. Everyone in the audience was watching them closely. They would naturally not miss such an interesting scene.
After being stunned for two or three seconds, the reporter quickly took out his camera and took direct shots with a "ka ka" sound.
Su Qingwan stamped her feet heavily. Her grace and maturity had been reduced to nothing as she ran to the front of the reporter who was taking a photo. She waved her arm fiercely and roared, "You're not allowed to shoot! Whoever dares to hit me will get out of this circle! "Scram!"
Su Qingwan stepped on her high heels as she ran, her face covered with dirt.
Qiao Mo was still drowsily standing in place, she then pulled her small hand and walked away. Qiao Mo had yet to react and puzzledly asked where she was going, "Where to?"
Xiao Yan pressed down on his wife's shoulder and walked in front of the woman who spoke to her earlier.
The lady saw that Mr. Xiao had walked over, and was extremely frightened, and immediately greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Xiao. "I am..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yan had already pressed his hand on Qiao Mo's shoulder and said to the woman: "Miss Zhao, please apologize to my wife."
Qiao Mo and the young miss of the Zhao Family were both startled.
Qiao Mo turned her head slightly, and explained: "Actually it's nothing, there's no need, Miss Zhao did not say anything."
She really didn't say anything. She just asked where she was going to school, what her family did, and her tone was still polite. Compared to Su Qingwan, her attitude was like heaven and earth.
However, Xiao Yan was stubborn. "Miss Zhao, the cooperation between Mrs Zhao and our Xiao's has yet to be finalized. If Elder Zhao feels that the cooperation between us is meaningless, then I have nothing to say."
Her tone was light and indifferent, scaring the Zhao Family's Young Miss to the point that her face turned ghastly white.
He did not know how Xiao Yan knew that she was being disrespectful to Qiao Mo, but he was in a hurry to apologize, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Xiao. Don't blame me for having such a large army of your lord. "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
Qiao Mo pursed her lips, facing Xiao Yan's tyrannical actions, she did the same. Drunk.
Qiao Mo was not a willful and unruly person, so this Miss Zhao did not do anything to her, it was just that the people from different worlds all had different thoughts on her. Qiao Mo felt awkward and said to Miss Zhao: "It's alright, Miss Zhao."
Qiao Mo's education and cultivation had always been very good. When Qiao Sheng was still alive, he paid a lot of attention to her education.
Qiao Mo felt that this Miss Zhao had lived in this bright and colorful society of famous people for too long, she had formed a habit and didn't have any malice towards them. It was also true that it wouldn't cause any substantial harm to her.
There were too many people who didn't think well of his and Xiao Yan. Could it be that everyone who didn't think well of her and Xiao Yan would all apologize to her like that?
He only heard Xiao Yan say to Miss Zhao: "My wife is innocent and does not care about matters of the world. I hope that Miss Zhao can take care of her in the future."
With both grace and authority, how could the young miss of the Zhao Family dare to say anything else? She could only nod her head.
"Mr. Xiao, don't worry, definitely! "Of course!"
Everyone wiped their sweat away.
Everyone in the annual assembly turned to look at Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao. This Mrs. Xiao definitely had a very important position in Mr. Xiao's heart, otherwise, how could he be spoiled like this?
Xiao Yan didn't even finish his speech before holding Qiao Mo's soft fingers and saying to everyone: "This Xiao still has things to do, so I won't accompany you. Everyone, eat and have fun, no need to be courteous."
It was an annual meeting organized by the Xiao's in the first place, so when Xiao Yan said these words, everyone naturally did not dare to make things difficult for him.
