Shi Xingcan was also very beautiful before, but under the torture of the Qu Family and the time home, her eyes were filled with helplessness and endless grief. As a result, her beautiful face was also covered in haze.
Then, she came to Qin Yanmo's side. She had become an early pregnant mother, and the grief in her eyes had turned into joy and love as a mother.
Qin Yanmo had never seen a girl's liveliness and loveliness in her eyes like this.
Du Huanyi went over to Du Ming's side and obediently called out for his father, then continued to slide past Qin Yanmo out of the corner of her eyes, intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Yanmo's adam's apple trembled slightly, his eyes filled with endless yearning and desire.
Du Huanyi carefully raised her head and glanced at him. She realized that she had lost control of herself and smiled embarrassedly. Hello, I'm Du Huanyi. "
Her tone was just as melodious as before, but it was also a bit more arrogant and confident than before.
Qin Yanmo smiled, he was in a good mood, "Hello, just call me Qin Yanmo."
Du Huanyi lowered her eyes in embarrassment. Her thick, long eyelashes covered her amber eyes, but the corners of her lips constantly curled upwards, revealing her good mood.
"Huai Yi, go play with the others first. Mr. Qin and I have something to discuss." Du Ming interrupted the atmosphere between the two of them.
Du Huanyi's red lips slightly pouted. She unwillingly glanced at Qin Yanmo, and even her voice carried a trace of spoiled coquettishness, "Father, are you that anxious to discuss business?"
"What Miss Du says makes sense," Qin Yanmo said as he followed her words, "I will still be staying here for a long time, and there are many things that I alone cannot decide on. Mr. Dean can discuss them together after the people from headquarters arrive."
Du Ming laughed, he was too anxious, but how could he not be anxious?
How could he bear to have his daughter married to a foreign land?
"Then, let's do as Mr. Qin says." Du Ming laughed.
Everyone present was looking forward to who Du Huanyi would invite to the first dance. They all thought that she would ask the locals to dance.
However, to everyone's surprise, Du Huanyi invited Qin Yanmo, who looked to be more than ten years older than her, to perform the first dance.
In fact, the two of them looked like they were in the same age range previously, but it was just that after so many days, Qin Yanmo was able to wake up early after going to bed.
On the other hand, Du Ming, whom Du Huanyi had doted on to the point of losing his mind, protected his well.
Even though they didn't look much different on the outside, it was because of their temperament that the age difference increased.
"Why did Miss Du choose that uncle!"
A voice that wasn't loud yet was heard by Qin Yanmo. He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and continued to gently look at Du Huanyi in front of him.
What was an uncle? He's not even thirty yet, but he's almost there!
Du Huanyi clearly heard this as well. She covered her mouth with a smile of embarrassment and said, "You look very charming."
Qin Yanmo had never been praised so generously by Shi Xingcan before, and the last bit of displeasure in his heart instantly disappeared. He smiled, bewitching all the women present, including Du Huanyi, completely.
"Thank you."
His large hand grabbed onto Du Huanyi's slender waist and lightly pressed on a certain spot.
Du Huanyi's entire body shivered. Her face immediately turned red as she reminded Qin Yanmo in a low voice, "Mr. Qin, can you not pinch my waist?"
Du Huanyi felt that she had really gone mad. The man in front of her was obviously taking advantage of her in the name of dancing. Not only was she not angry, but she was also secretly happy and … Lust?
Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Du Huanyi raised her head and looked at the handsome man before her.
Although Qin Yanmo looked gentle and calm on the surface, he was actually trembling with excitement a long time ago. It was just because the woman in front of him did not notice when he was dancing.
The moment Du Huanyi trembled, he confirmed that she was Shi Xingcan.
The same face, the same waist, the same sensitive spot.
To further confirm his suspicions, he asked, "I heard that Miss Du has been growing up by my mother's side all this time."
Du Huanyi nodded, "Yes, this is what father told me."
"Daddy told you?" Qin Yanmo laughed and asked back, "Did you not remember this yourself?"
Du Huanyi used her delicate fingers to brush away the hair covering her face, allowing Qin Yanmo to clearly see a scar.
"I've been injured here, so I can't remember anything from before." She raised her head and looked at Qin Yanmo, her eyes filled with trust. "Don't tell this to anyone, Daddy said it's a secret."
Qin Yanmo nodded his head. So she was really Shi Xingcan, he had only lost his memories.
This made Qin Yanmo a lot more excited and depressed. He could directly take Du Huanyi away or use the power of the Qin family to force Du Ming to give up on Du Huanyi, but he could not do so.
The woman in front of him was Du Huanyi, at least in her opinion, Du Ming was her most beloved father, and to her, he was nothing more than a stranger …
"Are you unhappy?" When Du Huanyi saw the mischievous smile on the man's face earlier, her expression immediately turned dejected. She thought that she had been ungracious and asked worriedly, "Is it my fault?"
Qin Yanmo pulled his thoughts out of his memories, laughed and said: "It has nothing to do with you, in the future you don't need to use honorifics with me, just call me Yan Mo."
"But …" Du Huanyi looked hesitant. Was it really okay for them to call each other so intimate after their first meeting?
"If you aren't used to it, you can call me Brother Qin." Qin Yanmo considerately added, "That's what they call me."
Du Huanyi lowered her head and smiled as she called out 'Brother Qin' in embarrassment.
After Qin Yanmo heard this, he only felt his emotions become complicated. On one hand, he was excited to find Shi Xingcan, but on the other hand, he was also depressed because Shi Xingcan didn't recognize him and still had to call him "Brother".
He had never felt so aggrieved in his life before, and he still had to squeeze out a smile in the end to answer her "brother".
"It's too stuffy in here. Let's go for a walk in the garden." Du Huanyi's face flushed in embarrassment as she summoned the courage to invite him in.
Qin Yanmo was overjoyed, and naturally agreed.
Holding hands, they walked through the laughing crowd to the balcony.
There were two balconies in the banquet hall, one of which was filled with young lovers, and the other, an unremarkable little balcony with a staircase that led to the garden.
Du Huanyi brought him down the stairs as if they were familiar with each other. The way down was flowery and even in winter, he could smell the fragrance of the flowers drifting in the cold air.
"Are you cold?" Qin Yanmo asked as he looked at her slightly red nose and ears.
Du Huanyi rubbed her bare arms together. Even though it was still autumn, the cold night air was not to be underestimated.
She lightly nodded and whispered, "It's a little cold."
Qin Yanmo unhesitatingly took off his jacket and covered her body.
"You … You'll catch a cold. " The tip of her nose was filled with the smell of Qin Yanmo's body, as if … She was being embraced by him.
This thought scared Du Huanyi, and her face turned red.
Qin Yanmo let out a low laugh from his chest. Although he lost his memories, his habit of blushing had not changed at all.
Although she was blushing, her desire to get close to Qin Yanmo did not change at all. Du Huanyi mustered the courage to hold his hand, and seeing that he had no intention of refusing, she smiled and said, "Let's go inside to play."
Qin Yanmo enjoyed the warmth of Du Huanyi's palm. Only when she took him to a large greenhouse to let go of his hands did Qin Yanmo realize that his palm had already been drenched by her.
Du Huanyi also realized that her palms were covered in sweat from her nervousness. She nervously wiped them away with her handkerchief and turned her face away, not daring to meet his gaze. She asked, "You … Is my hand uncomfortable? "
Qin Yanmo took a few steps forward and gently pinched her chin with his hands, causing her to turn around and look at him: "I really like it when you held onto me."
The two of them stuck close to each other, their scorching hot breaths intertwining. With another centimeter, Qin Yanmo would be able to kiss her lips.
Du Huanyi stared at the man before her in a daze. Her face was flushed and her breathing was erratic.
Why did this happen?
Qin Yanmo didn't want to scare her because of being in a hurry, so he simply tapped her on the lips and let her go.
Du Huanyi's legs started to feel weak, but her hands were only holding onto Qin Yanmo's sleeves, wishing that she could bury her head into his chest.
Why did she find it hard to breathe just to be around this man?
The temperature in the greenhouse was much higher than outside. Du Huanyi felt that it was getting hotter after staying here for a while. She took off her coat and carefully placed it on the chair.
"There are a lot of flowers here that I haven't seen before." Qin Yanmo's tone was filled with an indescribable happiness.
Du Huanyi bit her lower lip. Even though her voice was softer than a mosquito's, she was still nervous and slightly trembling. "Daddy likes to plant strange flowers."
Qin Yanmo noticed that there was a white swing in the middle of the flower room. The swing was made from autumn and the rose vines were wrapped around the chains, so he asked Du Huanyi, "Are you going there to play?"
Du Huanyi took a glance and nodded.
Then, he smiled, held Qin Yanmo's hand and ran towards that direction: "Let's go play on the swing!"
He adjusted his skirt and sat on the swing. He kicked off his dark blue high-heeled shoes, retreated a few steps, and then loosened his grip before flying into the air.
The dark blue dress seemed to be woven from a sea of stars and a brilliant sky, and the moonlight on the diamond-encrusted dress gave off a faint, soft, and dazzling light.
The higher the swing flew, the higher Du Huanyi's skirt floated.
Qin Yanmo only had the thought of appreciating beauty in the beginning, but after seeing the beautiful scene appear and disappear along with the wind under his skirt, his eyes darkened as he stared unwaveringly at the woman in front of him.
Perhaps because his gaze was too terrifying, Du Huanyi thought that he was angry and the swing gradually slowed down. Her clear and bright eyes looked at the man in front of her and asked, "Do you want to play?"
Qin Yanmo didn't notice her question, and continued to stare at her beautiful face.
"Brother Qin? You... What's the matter with you? " Du Huanyi asked fearfully.
Only then did Qin Yanmo realize that he had scared the little beauty in front of him. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's fine, it's getting late.
Du Huanyi nodded and walked out of the greenhouse with Qin Yanmo.
As she entered the banquet hall, she stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Du Huanyi raised his head and softly said, "You …" Close your eyes. "
Qin Yanmo obeyed. In the next second, a warm and soft sensation came from his lips. When he opened his eyes, Du Huanyi had already ran into the banquet hall with his skirt up.
Qin Yanmo smiled happily as his fingers brushed across his lips. The anxious, angry and sorrowful feelings he had for the past few days had all disappeared without a trace because of this kiss.
