Naturally, Xia Chu didn't know Xiao Yanjun's hidden secrets. All he knew now was that he had mistakenly recognized his savior in his previous life, and the real benefactor was actually Xiao Mubai.
Xiao Mubai felt Xia Chu's eyes and looked back, only to see that his eyes were different from before. There were emotions that Xiao Mubai could not understand, mixed with joy and sadness, making his eyes wander and ripple with confusion. .
Xiao Mubai raised his eyebrows slightly with a searching look, and was startled when he saw Xia Chu looking like he wanted to rush over immediately.
He waved to Xia Chu and saw that he was about to stand up with his hands on the armrests, but his buttocks lifted two inches and then fell down again. He turned to smile at him and mouthed the words "I'll talk to him after it's over." Then he stopped looking at him.
Xiao Mubai was confused. He looked at Xiao Muhong beside him and suddenly realized. He thought that Xia Chu didn't come over because he was afraid of being entangled by Xiao Muhong. He laughed and gave up, planning to ask again on the way back.
Of course, it wasn't because of Xiao Muhong that Xia Chu didn't go over there. He was afraid that after he passed away, he would burst into tears when he heard Xiao Mubai's voice.
In this public place, in front of all the civil and military officials, in front of the emperor's grandfather and father, if he cried, he didn't know how to explain it.
Therefore, he tried his best to resist the urge to throw himself into Xiao Mubai's arms at this moment, and drank cup after cup of fine wine on the table.
"What's wrong with you?" Lan Yuying looked at him for a long time, and when she saw that he was drinking heavily, she couldn't help but ask.
Xia Chu drank the wine in the cup, then put down the cup in his hand, leaned on Lan Yuying's shoulder, and said softly: "Meng'an, I just realized that I made a big mistake. Wrong thing.”
Xu Wenlan was sitting diagonally opposite at this time. His eyes had never left Lan Yuying. He saw Xia Chu resting his head on Lan Yuying's shoulder and stood up with a slight movement.
Next to him, Xu Wanjun was chatting with Mr. Min, the official minister at the next table. He was startled by his sudden move. He turned around and saw that he was about to leave the table. He grabbed his wrist and pulled him down and scolded: "In front of so many people, why are there no rules at all? Sit down and don't go anywhere."
Xu Wenlan was so anxious that he scratched the monkey's cheek, but Xu Wanjun ordered his attendant Geng Zheng to look at him and stop him from moving.
Xu Wenlan wanted to tell Xiao Mubai to take care of your little prince, but Xiao Mubai didn't even look at him. Seeing that Lan Yuying not only didn't push Xia Chu away, she even held his hand and patted him. The back of his hand comforted Xu Wenlan, who was really restless and wanted to go over and push Xia Chu away.
Xia Chu's mood at this time was not much better than him. Lan Yuying patted the back of his hand to comfort him: "You did a lot of wrong things when you were a child. You always said that you would be killed by Mr. Bai this time. Beat me to death, you are fine now."
Xia Chu sighed: "When I was young, I just got into trouble, but this time it's different."
Lan Yuying frowned: "Is it so wrong?"
Xia Chu sneered at himself: "It's the most ridiculous thing in the world."
Lan Yuying didn't know the whole story, and she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only ask tentatively: "Can't it be saved?"
Hearing this, Xia Chu's spirits perked up. He sat up straight and turned to look at Lan Yuying, with joy in his eyes: "The sky has given me another chance. I must not miss it this time."
Seeing that he was back to normal, Lan Yuying put down her uneasy heart, smiled and pinched his face gently: "Then you have to catch him this time."
Xu Wenlan, who was diagonally below the opposite side, saw Xia Chu finally getting up, and the violent beast in his heart finally calmed down. In the blink of an eye, he saw Lan Yuying gently showing her face to Xia Chu and squeezing him affectionately. face, the violent beast in Xu Wenlan's heart roared again, and he murmured to himself: I also want to be pinched by you...
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Wanjun pinched his cheek, pulling him painfully and shouting: "Dad, what are you doing?"
Xu Wanjun snorted coldly: "What are you doing? I asked you to go have a drink with Miss Min. You haven't responded at all until now. What do you think I should do?"
Xu Wenlan patted Xu Wanjun's wrist: "Dad, please let go of me first and then I'll tell you."
Xu Wanjun squeezed hard again before letting go.
Xu Wenlan took Xu Wanjun's arm and lowered her voice in his ear: "Father, please don't worry, I have a sweetheart, and I have already thought of the name of the child."
Hearing this, Xu Wanjun's pupils suddenly shrank, his expression was shocked, and he slapped Xu Wenlan on the head and said angrily: "Which girl who has not yet left the court have you enlarged her belly?"
Xu Wenlan was slapped hard by him, and his head buzzed. After hearing his question, Xu Wenlan was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that Xu Wanjun had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "What are you doing?" Where did all my thoughts go? I fell in love with this girl at first sight and for the rest of my life, so I decided on the name of the child."
Xu Wanjun's face softened slightly and he looked at Xu Wenlan. Seeing his intoxicated expression, the corner of his mouth twitched.
He also knew a little about his son's reputation in Beijing, but he had never heard Xu Wenlan come back to tell him which girl he had fallen in love with, and he had never seen his excited expression, so he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Whose noble lady can be so obsessed with my son?"
Xu Wenlan purred at Lan Yuying who was diagonally in front of her: "How about the girl next to Mr. Marquis? She's pretty. Doesn't she look more and more like your daughter-in-law?"
However, Xu Wanjun's expression became worse and worse as he listened. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Wenlan's ear: "Looks like my daughter-in-law? I think you thought she was beautiful. You also know that she is the girl sitting next to the young marquis. Please polish it." Looking at the two of them, do you think they are a couple?"
"Oh dad, why are you so good at all the eighteen martial arts today? Just say a word and change a move." Xu Wenlan patted Xu Wanjun's wrist again to tell him to let go.
The more Xu Wanjun thought about it, the angrier he became. After another heavy tug, he let go and scolded him: "Which girl do you like, but you only want the young prince's woman?"
Xu Wenlan climbed onto Xu Wanjun's arm again, leaned into his ear and whispered in a low voice: "Xiao Mubai told me through the bottom that they are not a couple, so you can see how I can get you back one." The daughter-in-law who conquers the country."
Xu Wanjun was doubtful: "Seriously?"
Seeing Xu Wenlan's authentic expression, he unknowingly became more and more satisfied when he looked at Lan Yuying.
Xu Wanjun felt more and more that only such a beautiful woman of natural beauty and national beauty was worthy of being his daughter-in-law...
