Xu Chi, that is, the young man, widened his eyes when he heard Qi Yan's affirmative answer, then turned his head and glanced at Xue Zimu, his tone was shocked: "It's so easy to pick, aren't you? Then why did my aunt give me the answer every time? Did you blow up all the blind dates you arranged?"
Qi Yan didn't speak, and tapped the railing with his index finger a few times, Xu Chi knew that he didn't want to talk about it, shrugged, "Okay, since you've made your choice, then I'll go tell my aunt and the others? Lest they continue to work hard below."
Strictly speaking, this was Qi Yan's blind date banquet, but Qi Yan didn't even show his face directly, only Qi's mother and others were socializing downstairs, dealing with the noble ladies who were eager to sell their children. These people are eager to have a relationship with Qi's mother, but they don't know that it is Qi Yan who makes the final decision. Although he just stood upstairs and glanced at it from a distance, it made them feel uneasy. It's so easy and child's play.
Xue Zimu didn't know this, but Qi Yan's eyes were on him for too long, and it was impossible for anyone to remain indifferent. In her previous life, Xue Zimu kept her head down for most of the banquet due to her restraint, even though she was very handsome, she did not receive such attention. This time, he also planned to follow the steps, no matter the process or the result, he didn't need to change, but he didn't want to just relax a little, and there would be an accident that didn't happen in his previous life.
Xue Zimu frowned slightly, and looked towards the almost scorching gaze, facing a pair of extremely oppressive eyes.
The peeking was discovered, but the other party didn't seem embarrassed, still looking at him steadily, the expression on his face was as cold as ice, so cold that people didn't dare to pay too much attention to that outstanding face. For a moment, Xue Zimu felt that he was the student who peeked at the novel in class and was caught by the head teacher outside the window. He almost bowed his head guiltily.
But in the next second, the unwarranted guilt was replaced by genuine surprise. Xue Zimu found that the person staring at him was none other than his planned future partner—Qi Yan.
Qi Yan was standing at a corner of the corridor on the second floor, the position was not conspicuous, and in addition to being in a dark position, it took Xue Zimu a while to recognize who the other party was.
In her previous life, Xue Zimu had never met Qi Yan, but thanks to the gossip, she had seen quite a few photos. Xue Zimu was really surprised to find that the person who didn't show up for the whole banquet in his previous life was staring at him now. Especially when the other party is still watching so intently.
Seeing that he still didn't intend to look away, Xue Zimu blinked, and couldn't help but look down to see if there was anything on his body. Qi Yan's eyes were too righteous, which made him feel that something was wrong with him.
"Zi Mu, what's the matter?" Yao Yue came back at this time, holding a small mousse cake, frowning slightly watching him look down at his movements, his eyes were vaguely blaming him for not being able to maintain it after staying alone for so long Meaning of manners.
Seeing Yao Yue's hidden disdain, Xue Zimu immediately lost interest in doing more research, and shook his head as an answer.
Seeing him like this, a stern look flashed in Yao Yue's eyes. Don't say a word, just like a mute! Yao Yue cursed inwardly, but still smiled and said, "Are you hungry? Auntie brought you a cake, eat it quickly."
Looking at the delicately shaped cake, Xue Zimu suddenly had a headache. Now, he can't eat any food that those members of Xue's family have handled, but it's not the time to quarrel with them, so it doesn't make sense to insist on not eating it, after all, he only eats it for lunch this day I ate a little and didn't eat much, and I'm already very hungry now.
Xue Zimu was in trouble for a moment, and was thinking about how to find a reason, but she heard Yao Yue suddenly say: "Huh? Why are Madam Qi and the others leaving now? We haven't gone to say hello yet!" The backs of the people at the other end of the banquet hall spoke anxiously: "Could it be that you have already made a decision among the few you have seen? What should I do? I thought I would go later to make a deeper impression..."
Yao Yue looked annoyed, Xue Zimu also frowned upon seeing this.
It's something that never happened in my previous life!
Obviously he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Xue Zimu couldn't figure out what went wrong that caused such a change. If Qi's mother had really picked someone else from the people she met before, wouldn't his plan be impossible to carry out from the beginning
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up to the corner of the second floor, but this time he didn't meet that man's extremely oppressive gaze. Qi Yan was still there, but turned to look to the other side.
Xue Zimu suddenly became more and more uncertain about the reason why the other party stared at him before. Judging from the results of the previous life, Qi Yan should not be disgusted with him, but Xue Zimu did not dare to guess that the other party's attention meant goodwill. Because when Qi Yan looked at him, his expression was cold and fierce, as if he found a strict parent whose child had failed the exam, his eyes were like razor blades, and he really didn't seem to be satisfied with him.
But he was chosen without this in his previous life, so maybe it's because Qi's mother wants a particularly beautiful grandchild, and it's not Qi Yan's business
As Xue Zimu was thinking, he couldn't help but start thinking, if he really wasn't selected this time, how likely is it that the Xue family would let him go. He withdrew his gaze, so he didn't notice that Qi Yan turned his gaze back again, still on him. In the direction Qi Yan was looking at a second ago, Xu Chi walked over with Qi's mother and others.
"Ah Yan, Xiao Chi said you have something in mind? Is it true?" Bai Xinlan, Qi's mother, couldn't help but asked repeatedly before she came to Qi Yan.
Xu Chi understands the situation. Now that Fa Xiao is still in the same posture as before, and following his line of sight, he is still in the same position. He immediately laughed clearly, and said to Bai Xinlan in an exaggerated tone: "Really, really! This time it's absolutely true! You're still staring at it now, so don't worry, Aunt Bai."
Bai Xinlan also came with Qi Yan's eldest aunt Yuan Manhuan. The two of them couldn't help but immediately looked in the direction Qi Yan was staring at, only to see Xue Zimu's plain hair, full of excitement, and immediately calmed down. few.
"Cough, which family is that kid? I didn't seem to have touched it just now." Bai Xinlan didn't understand why her son was staring at the top of his head. She knew that he couldn't tell by himself, so she could only ask him.
However, it is useless to ask.
"I don't know," Qi Yan answered unceremoniously, then said after a pause, "Isn't this your business?"
"..." Bai Xinlan's chest was tight at Qi Yan's righteous words, and she said to herself that you are the one looking for a wife, not my mother. But after all, she was already used to her son's personality, and thinking that this time she finally had to solve his perennial marriage problem, Bai Xinlan immediately felt at ease again.
"The one next to him seems to be Mrs. Xue?" Yuan Man smiled happily, thinking that Ah Yan did not reject the discussion about his marriage partner. It seems that this time he really liked it.
"Madam Xue... Isn't she just a pair of twins? Did she bring her son?" Bai Xinlan was surprised.
"Of course not." Yuan Manhuan shook his head, looked at her and said, "You forgot, the list we read earlier, Mrs. Xue brought her stepson."
As a third-rate rich family, the Xue family really didn't make Bai Xinlan take it seriously, she remembered it when she heard Yuan Manhuan's reminder, and immediately frowned, "I haven't seen this child from the Xue family before, so you can't be here for Ah Yan, right? "Speaking and looking at Qi Yan, "This identity is a bit embarrassing, you really like it... Hey, Ah Yan, why are you going?"
Before Bai Xinlan finished speaking, Qi Yan turned around and left, leaving a few simple words in the air when striding away: "It's him."
The son was so rude, Bai Xinlan was so angry that she couldn't help covering her heart again, but at this moment she heard Xu Chi's tone of surprise and said: "Wait a minute... isn't he planning to go to the hero to save the beauty?"
Bai Xinlan was taken aback, "What kind of hero saves the beauty?" When will his stinky and stubborn son feel sorry for him
Seeing Xu Chi lift his chin downstairs, Bai Xinlan immediately looked over.
The stepson of the Xue family who could only see the top of his head stood up at this time, showing a delicate and flawless side face, his brows were slightly raised, obviously not very happy. But his accident did not destroy half of the perfection of his complexion, on the contrary, it dyed his beautiful face with a coolness that could not be profane, which made people stare straight at him.
Seeing this scene, while Bai Xinlan gasped slightly, she immediately understood why Qi Yan was so fond of people. With this face full of anger and vivaciousness, if she were to pick it, she probably wouldn't pick anyone else.
Bai Xinlan couldn't help but sigh at first, then she frowned slightly after seeing the situation below.
Standing opposite Xue Zimu, who seemed to be confronting him and Yao Yue, Bai Xinlan could tell at a glance that they were the people from the Qu family who had been most attentive to her before.
