C188 Promise Me One Thing (1/2)

When he said that, it piqued everyone's curiosity, they all hoped that Qiao Jinglian would solve the riddle later.

Then, when Xu Qiu heard his words, she frowned slightly. She looked at Qiao Jinglian worriedly, ”Jinglian, you cannot mess around.”

”Don't worry, my sister Xu. Am I that inconsequential?” Qiao Jinglian sloppily replied to Xu Qiu.

A pair of charming phoenix eyes never moved from Ye Xi's body.

She was beautiful tonight!

It was even more beautiful than he had imagined!

The birthday banquet was held on the lawn, and colored night pearls had already been set up to illuminate the surroundings.

Qiao Jinglian stared at Ye Xi as if no one was around, the corners of his mouth still had that roguish smile, but his eyes remained gloomy.

Ye Xi was completely unsettled by his stare, her face red, she moved closer to Xu Qiu, her slender fingers grabbing onto Xu Qiu's arm, she whispered: ”Mom, let's not stand here anymore.”

Xu Qiu looked at Qiao Jinglian's line of sight that landed on Ye Xi's body like a shadow and sighed in his heart. Then, he pulled Ye Xi's hand and walked towards the relatively fewer people.

Qiao Jinglian raised his eyebrows, and leisurely followed the two of them.

Tonight, he had plenty of time.

His daughter-in-law was too timid, and he didn't want to scare her away before the main event even started.

Qiao Jinglian rubbed his nose. Seeing the two of them stop, he quickly took two steps forward and stood beside Ye Xi.

Xu Qiu and Ye Xi originally wanted to stand in a low-key place that didn't attract too much attention, but in reality, the place they were standing at, was already very far away from the center of the banquet.

But because of the tail following them from the side, Xu Qiu and Ye Xi were still the center of attention. There were even many people that had already moved towards them.

Xu Qiu and Ye Xi both twitched their mouths and looked at Qiao Jinglian unhappily.

”Jinglian, why are you following us? ”You're not accompanying Uncle Qiao for today's birthday banquet?” Xu Qiu pursed her lips.

Qiao Jinglian's face suddenly darkened, he frowned: ”Why should I accompany him, he has other people accompanying him, he doesn't need me!”

”…” ”Jinglian, what are you saying? You're Uncle Qiao's most beloved grandson, so regardless of whether or not he has someone accompanying him right now, he definitely wants you to be by his side.”

”He loves me?” Qiao Jinglian coldly snorted, his tone filled with disdain, ”If the way he dotes on me is to make the person I love move further and further away from me, I would rather not have his love!”

Hearing his words, Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her head to look at him.

Qiao Jinglian also looked at her at this moment, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a meaning that Ye Xi could not understand, or perhaps, he did not want to admit it.

Ye Xi's breathing stopped, and he suddenly lowered his head.

Qiao Jinglian raised his eyebrows, and looked at her deeply, then slowly raised his eyes to look at Xu Qiu's doubtful gaze, and suddenly spoke in a serious tone: ”Sister Xu, I need you to promise me one thing.”
