Chapter 384 - Meeting at a Banquet

He didn't know when Gong Ou would be willing to bring Holy over to his side.

Shi Xiaonian caressed the Solanum nigrum's small hand, then straightened her back and walked out with her fluffy skirt.

Along with Xu Bingxin's evening dress, she was wearing a long, smoky gray dress that was the same color as the rest. Her dress was fluffy to show her youth, and with a special technique, she drew out the feeling of a broken line of rain on her long skirt.

Shi Xiaonian walked to the living room's window and checked his gown to see if there was anything wrong with it.

"Eldest Miss, try wearing this."

The maid came over with a crown and put it on her head. She felt like it didn't fit her, so she picked up a fresh and exquisite garland and put it on. Then, she shook her head and said, "I still don't deserve it."

Shi Xiaonian looked at the headdress on the tray in her hand and picked it up while standing there. Her phone suddenly vibrated.

Shi Xiaonian took his phone to have a look. It was a text from Gong Ou —

[Flower Fairy?]

"…"

Shi Xiaonian stared blankly at the three words for two seconds, then looked out the window in shock. She suddenly realized that although Building A was very far away from here, she could see it from her field of vision.

There were binoculars in the apartment in A., she remembered.

Shi Xiaonian took off the garland on her head and placed it on the maid's hand. She frowned and said to the maid, "From now on, all the windows on this side of the window have to be closed."

"Huh?"

The maid looked at her in surprise.

Shi Xiaonian randomly picked a diamond headdress and put it on, her gaze deep in thought.

Ever since Feng De and the Eyebrow-scar Doctor had fought to a point where it was hard to determine the victor, Gong Ou had returned to the Port of Heaven's residence.

Every time she didn't want to chat, Gong Ou would tell Feng De to fight, and she had no choice but to obey.

She didn't even dare to go out for a walk now.

He spent all his time with her.

She began to wonder if she had come back wrong.

When she returned, she chose to face Gong Ou's ruthlessness, indifference, and humiliation. However, she found herself unable to face his unreserved feelings.

"minuscule thought, the carriage has arrived. Let's go."

Xu Bingxin urged her.

"Alright, I'm coming."

Shi Xiaonian responded, she picked up her skirt and left, then said to the maid, "Get the bodyguards to come in and wait, if there's anything else, give me a call."

No matter how calm and peaceful the situation was, she couldn't let her guard down. She had to protect Solanum nigrum well.

"Yes, First Miss, I understand." the maid said.

Shi Xiaonian walked out, and as she walked, she kept the phone in his hand bag. Before she could put it back, the phone started vibrating, and it was still Gong Ou's text message.

[Ignore me? Do you believe that Feng De is coming again? "

and even took the Housekeeper Feng as an example.

She realised that Gong Ou's methods were becoming more and more shameless, and becoming more and more shameless.

Shi Xiaonian's head hurt, she immediately turned off his phone, put it in her bag and left the house.

The charity dinner was held in a hotel called the Europa Hotel, which was left behind by the Republic of China.

As a low-key donor, Xu Bingxin rejected the red carpet and entered the banquet hall through the side door.

The entire banquet hall was magnificent and magnificent, the most special feature of which was the adoption of a very special audio amplifying method. On the golden wall, there were protruding pipes lined up in a row. Music was coming out from them, shocking everyone's hearing, allowing them to enjoy the feast the moment they came in.

"Mrs. Xu, Miss Xi, this way please."

When Welcome Miss brought them in and saw Shi Xiaonian, that person was obviously startled. She subconsciously looked at the guest card in his hand.

Shi Xiaonian held Xu Bingxin's hand and walked in. They then sat down in front of an extremely beautifully decorated round table.

The two of them sat together and didn't know any famous or powerful figures or business figures. They just sat there and chatted about their own things, looking at the surrounding clothes and hair.

More and more people took their seats. They were not familiar with each other, so they all chatted about their own things.

Occasionally, when people recognized Shi Xiaonian as Gong Ou's ex-girlfriend, they would glance over at her, but they did not try to chat with her.

Shi Xiaonian was enjoying the peace and quiet as she played with a beautiful golden candy in her hands.

"I'm a bit regretful, this place is very boring."

Xu Bingxin leaned her head towards Shi Xiaonian, and said with some interest.

"Then I'll accompany you first?" Shi Xiaonian whispered into her ear.

Xu Bingxin still had some connections in Italy, so she wouldn't be bored attending banquets. Since this was the country, Xu Bingxin didn't know a single person.

Shi Xiaonian wanted to leave even more. She wanted to return to take care of Solanum nigrum.

"Forget it. I'll just leave after I finish watching the show and donate some money." Xu Bingxin said in a low voice.

"Fine."

Shi Xiaonian nodded her head as she peeled off a piece of candy from her hands and handed it over it to Xu Bingxin. The mother and daughter duo chatted about Solanum nigrum during the banquet, which was so big that Solanum nigrum could finally sit up today.

Just as they were chatting, Shi Xiaonian heard the guests at the table beside him complaining. It wasn't time for the banquet to begin, why hadn't it already started?

The surrounding guests also began to complain. They did not know what the organizers were up to.

Suddenly, the music in the banquet hall stopped.

Silence.

The lights dimmed.

"Please warmly applaud the guests tonight. Mr. Gong Gong Ou and his fiancee, Miss Lancaster, have arrived!"

A voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

As Shi Xiaonian sat there, she suddenly clenched the candy in her hands. If it wasn't for her makeup covering up her face, her current face would have been completely pale.

Xu Bingxin looked at Shi Xiaonian worriedly.

"Clap clap clap —"

The entire audience burst into thunderous applause.

All the guests present simultaneously stood up from their tables, clapping their hands and looking in the same direction.

In the eyes of many, Gong Ou did not only represent the nobility, but also the legendary technology. It was natural for a person in the mainstream technology to receive such treatment.

Shi Xiaonian sat there, her fingers squeezing out tiny sounds on the paper.

Someone realised something as he turned around to look at Shi Xiaonian, waiting for her reaction.

His head bumping into a concussion, not willing to be hospitalized properly, going out in the Port of Heaven District to "bump into" her was not enough, even she had to attend the banquet with him, and he even had to bring his fiancée, what was he trying to do?

The applause lasted for a long time.

Shi Xiaonian took a deep breath, then stood up from her original position and extended a hand to lightly support Xu Bingxin.

Xu Bingxin observed Shi Xiaonian's expression, although she was unwilling, she still stood up and clapped along with the rest.

Shi Xiaonian clapped her hands and slowly turned around. Her gaze passed through the layers of people as she looked at the front.

On the stage above the golden staircase, Gong Ou and Mo Nuo stood there.

Gong Ou was wearing a black dress suit, he was tall and straight, too far away that Shi Xiaonian could not see his face clearly, but he knew that it was definitely a handsome face that captivated souls, attracting everyone's attention.

Mo Nuo was dressed in a deep crimson V-neck gown, and from afar, he could see her tall and graceful figure. Her long golden hair was tied up, and the color of the hair was glossy under the light, making her look extremely noble. She held onto Gong Ou's arm and walked down the stairs, step by step.

Shi Xiaonian stood behind the crowd and watched, as though he was looking at them at the wedding hall, the two of them walked down one step at a time.

She tried not to show any expression.

Everyone slowly sat down, Shi Xiaonian also pulled Xu Bingxin down to sit, and when Xu Bingxin saw that many people were looking towards him, he did not react, but maintained her gentleness.

Shi Xiaonian did not even look at them, she only stared at the candy in her hands.

The entire arena was extremely quiet, and Shi Xiaonian felt more and more gazes focusing on her as if a sharp light was shining from her back.

She sat there, her heart aching and numb.

"The seats on this side are rather quiet. Would the two of you mind giving us a seat?"

Shi Xiaonian raised her eyes and saw Mo Nuo standing diagonally in front of the old couple with Gong Ou holding his arm. She smiled and asked politely, speaking Chinese fluently.

"Of course, of course, please take a seat."

The old couple stood up and left with each other.

"Sit down."

Mo Nuo stood there and smiled at Gong Ou. His red lips outlined into an imposing and beautiful smile, and her pair of ocean blue eyes were shockingly beautiful.

She was saying that Gong Ou suddenly thought of inviting her to a charity dinner, and it turned out it was because of Shi Xiaonian.

Since she was already here, she couldn't let Gong Ou cause a ruckus. She had to complete the demeanor of her fiancee.

Therefore, she took the initiative to sit at Shi Xiaonian's table. There was a heaven and earth difference between this and Gong Ou's suggestion.

"…"

Gong Ou glanced at Mo Nuo indifferently, his handsome face showing no expression, then pulled out a chair to sit on.

"Thank you."

Mo Nuo thanked her appropriately before sitting down on the chair pulled by Gong Ou.

In the eyes of others, Gong Ou had the side of a gentleman.

"…"

Gong Ou stared at her, his black eyes so deep that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Mo Nuo smiled like a flower, a pair of blue eyes staring at him, and unconcealable feelings flowed in the corners of her eyes.

Gong Ou sat down on the seat beside her with a cold expression and looked straight at Shi Xiaonian.

Shi Xiaonian did not look at them, she only lowered her head and played with the canapés, turning a blind eye to their existence.

The entire table had become silent because of Gong Ou and Mo Nuo's sudden entrance, the guests at the other tables all headed over.

The silent awkwardness only improved a little when the banquet started. Everyone started toasting, chatting, and watching the show from the sidelines.

Suddenly, Shi Xiaonian's leg was fiercely kicked, causing her entire body to shake.

Shi Xiaonian swiftly stabilized herself and looked under the table without revealing anything. She only saw a leg pressed against the hem of her skirt, a black leather shoe, and a folded piece of paper on top of the shoe.

"…"

Shi Xiaonian speechlessly raised her eyes and looked at Gong Ou who was sitting opposite of him.

How long were his legs? He could actually lean against her like this.
