Mrs. He’s birthday banquet was scheduled for Sunday. Ye Xiaong woke up very early that morning and put on light makeup. This kind of occasion called for a lady-like outfit, so she chose a light-colored striped dress in a prim and proper style.
Ye Xiaong checked herself out in the mirror repeatedly, feeling very satisfied. As many of He Ming’s relatives and friends would be at the banquet, she didn’t want to leave them with a bad impression of her.
He Ming didn’t sleep at Xiaong’s last night because he had to put up party decorations at ho.
But he would be there to pick Xiaong up later. Therefore, Xiaong wanted to get ready first, change into the dress, and check herself out in the mirror.
The person in the mirror looked delicate, pretty and dosticated. Ye Xiaong was all set and just waiting for He Ming to arrive.
But she was feeling a little nervous. After all, she and He Ming had never faced so many people together since they started dating.
She felt like the proverbial ugly daughter-in-law who must eventually face her parents-in-law.
When He Ming arrived and saw Xiaong’s outfit, emotions surged in the depths of his gaze.
“You look so beautiful today.” He Ming’s voice sounded a little hoarse.
“Just today?” Ye Xiaong challenged him.
“Always, but you are especially beautiful today.” He Ming couldn’t help but hug Xiaong, trying to steal a kiss.
“So, you like dressed like this?” Xiaong felt a flock of cartoon crows cawing as they flew over her head.
“You have the Mrs. He look today.” She looked virtuous and very different from her usual self.
“You’re so glib. Let’s go now. Auntie is probably waiting for us.” Ye Xiaong dragged him to go, afraid that he would have other ideas.
This person did not care when and where they’d have sex. Ye Xiaong didn’t want him to smudge her makeup.
“Actually, we have ti. There’s no hurry.” He Ming teased.
Ye Xiaong pushed him out the door.
In the car, Ye Xiaong couldn’t help but ask, “Who have you invited?”
“Just our relatives and a few of my mother’s friends.” Gu Shaoting answered while driving.
“Are you feeling nervous? Like the proverbial ugly daughter-in-law who must et her parents-in-law?” He Ming joked when he saw her restless look.
“You’re ugly. Your whole family is ugly.” Xiaong felt that this man asked for a scolding sotis. He knew that she was nervous, yet he still teased her.
“It’s just a matter of ti. Don’t be nervous. I’m here.” He Ming squeezed Xiaong’s hand as they waited for a traffic light to turn green.
When they arrived at the He residence, there were already many people there. Mrs. He was busy entertaining the guests, afraid that she would neglect any one of them.
Xiaong carried her gift for Mrs. He and followed He Ming in. Everyone looked at her curiously.
Suddenly, He Ming turned his head, reached out to hold her hand and walked forward.
“He Ming, let go.” Ye Xiaong was shocked by his sudden action. She was not used to holding hands in public.
She felt like a circus animal being watched.
“Co, let introduce you to my relatives.” He Ming didn’t care about Xiaong’s complaint and continued to hold her hand.
After Mrs. He spoke to one of the guests, she saw Xiaong. “Xiaong, you’re here.”
She was smiling so brightly that she was all teeth and no eyes.
“Happy birthday, Auntie.” Ye Xiaong handed Mrs. He her birthday present.
“Silly child, you shouldn’t have.” Mrs. He liked Ye Xiaong even more after seeing how sensible she was.
Although He Ming’s hand was wrapped around Xiaong’s, she felt a stare from the crowd shooting at her like an arrow.
That gaze followed her the entire ti. Xiaong wanted to see who it was, but she never got the chance.
He Ming dragged her around the party venue, and she felt her face numb from smiling.
He Ming also noticed Xiaong’s odd behavior, so he stopped and found a place for her to sit down..
