The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 554: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (93)

Half a month later, at the International Hotel, Cao Ce's birthday banquet

In the carefully arranged and deliberately decorated gorgeous hall, candlelight swayed gently in the breeze.

The guests were dressed in exquisitely crafted cheongsams or well-tailored suits, and their every move showed elegance and grace.

They talked in low voices. The waiters carefully carried trays and swam among the crowd like fish, serving exquisite snacks and drinks to the guests.

On the stage, a small band was playing a melodious tune, and the singer's voice was melodious and sweet, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley;

In the dance floor, several pairs of men and women were dancing gracefully. Their postures were light and graceful, as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

At this moment, Cao Ce and Wu Wenyue were standing in a corner of the hall, accepting the "blessings" and "gifts" from the guests.

Seeing that the banquet had already started for a while, but the people from the Su family and the Song family had not arrived yet, Cao Shixun couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

He held up the wine glass and looked towards the door from time to time. If someone didn't know him, they would really think he was waiting for the arrival of some extremely important guest!

At this time, a second-generation rich man who often hung out with Cao Shixun noticed his abnormality and asked jokingly, "Young Marshal, why are you so absent-minded today?

Could it be that he is waiting for some beautiful lady he likes? Hahahaha..."

The other young man wearing glasses was obviously much more stable. He nudged the second-generation rich man with his elbow and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Today is such an important occasion. The young marshal's father-in-law is coming. Don't say such things in such an occasion."

However, Cao Shixun seemed not to have heard their conversation at all. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

Su Xiangran was wearing a dark red velvet cheongsam with a white cloak on the outside and light makeup on her face.

Song Chengjing naturally put his fiancée's hand on his arm, and to prevent her from struggling, he also put his other hand on Su Xiangran's hand.

"Brother Ajing, let me go! This action is so weird!" Su Xiangran said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"I can't let go." Song Chengjing turned his head and said to Su Xiangran solemnly, "I have my whole world in my hands."

After hearing this, Su Xiangran's face turned red again, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart: This guy is hopeless. It's okay that he is just in love, but he still likes to say sweet words in his life.

Alas! In this world, in just a few years, she blushed more times than in her previous life combined.

This was the scene Cao Shixun saw when he came over. But what he was thinking was: Let you be proud for one more night! I'll see what you'll do tomorrow!

"Cousin, you're here!" Cao Shixun took a few steps forward, deliberately trying to get between the two of them and separate them, "Aunt, isn't uncle here yet?"

Song Chengjing had already noticed the other party's movements. Before he approached, he took Su Xiangran back a few steps to avoid his deliberate collision: "Brother-in-law, slow down. You are in such a hurry. Xiaoran is wearing high heels today. It would be bad if she sprained her ankle."

High heels! Cao Shixun seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Cousin, where's your cousin's wife? Didn't you greet the guests with her?" Su Xiangran asked in confusion, "You two aren't together on this important day!"

Cao Shixun curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "What can a woman like her know? She is not familiar with these people. I asked her to entertain those ladies."

"Brother-in-law, this is your fault. As the saying goes, the husband sings and the wife follows. How can you leave your cousin alone!" Then Song Chengjing said to Su Xiangran, "Xiao Ran, when we get married in the future, I will take you wherever we go."

Su Xiangran was extremely amused by these words, but in order to maintain etiquette, she casually used a small folding fan to cover the corners of her upturned mouth, leaving only her sweet eyes exposed.

This kind of dog food almost drove Cao Shixun crazy.

What does Song Chengjing mean? It's fine if he wants to please his cousin, but he also wants to drag me down like this. Just wait! He will cry one day.

When the banquet was halfway through, a waiter came up to Su Xiangran and Song Chengjing with a tray and handed them two glasses of wine.

Cao Shixun hid in the dark. After watching both of them drink the drinks he had "prepared", he knew it was time to take action.

Cao Shixun and Wu Wenyue looked at each other, and soon, the music on the stage turned into a faster dance music.

And Su Xiangran and Song Chengjing had been surrounded by many guests since some time ago.

They and the people around them started dancing to the music, but because the rhythm was fast, the dance moves were a bit big, and soon Su Xiangran and Song Chengjing were separated.

The moment their hands loosened, Song Chengjing and Su Xiangran looked into each other's eyes and nodded slightly.

When Cao Shixun saw the two people separating, he was delighted. He picked up the wine glass handed to him, drank it all, and walked towards Su Xiangran, who was wearing a dark red cheongsam on the dance floor.
