Therefore, he couldn't wait any longer!
He wanted her to understand his intentions thoroughly, and he wanted to show her that in this lifetime, he only needed her determination!
Seeing him so full of ambition, Qiao Wei chuckled lightly. Just as he was about to speak, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a pair of "husband and wife" walking over from the red carpet.
The man wore a grey suit and pants. His scholarly face was covered with a shallow layer of gentleness. He looked at the woman beside him with eyes as moist as if she were the only woman in the world before him.
Qiao Wei's captivating red face instantly turned pale white, and her beautiful phoenix eyes became filled with red light. Her slender and jade-like fingers curled into her palm, and her body faintly trembled.
Qiao Jinglian noticed her strangeness, he went forward and pulled her by the back, "Second sister, are you alright?"
Qiao Wei clenched his teeth, and suddenly grabbed onto Qiao Jinglian's arm.
"Hiss ?" Qiao Jinglian took a deep breath, his brows knitted as he looked at her merciless grip on his arm.
The veins on the back of her hand bulged out, looking quite frightening.
Qiao Jinglian's eyebrows twitched slightly and he could not help but look at her, "Second sister, what happened to you?"
"..." He, why is he here? " Qiao Wei's gaze was fixated on that man's body, and asked softly.
"Who?" Qiao Jinglian was startled. He followed her line of sight, and saw that man.
His face darkened, and he said angrily, "What is he doing here?!"
"?" Qiao Wei bit her lips, and stuck all the sounds in her throat.
His eyes were filled with the image of that man taking care of the woman beside him.
It was as if his heart had been mercilessly cut open by a sharp blade.
She suddenly opened up Qiao Jinglian and rushed straight towards the man.
Qiao Jinglian frowned, he chanted an incantation and followed him.
"Gen, you're pregnant right now, so you have to be careful."
"I understand. You are just too careful."
"I was worried about you. There will be too many people for today's birthday banquet, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you. "
Rest assured Ruo Yuan, I will take note of it myself. After we finish celebrating our birthday, I will look for a place with fewer people and obediently stand there. After you have finished socializing with me, come and find me.
The woman cuddled beside the man. Her jade-like hands held onto the man's arm, and her rosy cheeks shone as well as her smiling and happy gaze. This proved that she was a woman loved and doted upon by her husband.
On the other hand, men.
His elegant face was filled with a helpless yet willing radiance. His eyes fell on the woman's body with such gentleness and tenderness.
Once upon a time.
Such a gaze, belonged to her, Qiao Wei.
That's right, the ability of time was not only able to make her look old, time could make everything look different from before.
There were a lot of people coming and going from her side. Some of them were trying to get close to her, but she ignored them all.
In her eyes, there was only a man who was less than five steps away from her.
It was so close!
But why, he would never see her again!
"Second sister, don't be like this ?" Qiao Jinglian looked at Qiao Wei, whose eyes were filled with tears but was stubborn enough to endure it and was unwilling to let go, and hugged onto her, blocking her line of sight.
"..." "Why?" Qiao Wei buried his face in Qiao Jinglian's embrace, as tears continuously rolled down his face, "He has a child again. Lian'er, why ? why is he able to live his life so calmly and unperturbed? "Why is it that he is able to feel at ease and happy, while I, I ?"
"Alright, alright. I know the bitterness in your heart. I know that you still love him, so it makes you sad to see him so happy right now. But Second Sis, that man isn't worth it for you to feel such pain for him. " Qiao Jinglian sighed as he caressed her trembling back.
Qiao Wei shook her head, stopping her tears she raised her head from his chest, "These words of yours, I have told myself many times in my heart, but it was of no use.
"Although I was born in the Qiao family, and in B city, I am the Qiao family's princess that everyone fawns on, I have never felt that I am a princess myself. Yet, he made me feel that I am his princess. "
"Those beautiful memories, from the age of 18, accompanied me all the way until now, wanting to cut off those memories from my mind. In my first half life, there was only emptiness left! "Then I will no longer be me!"
Qiao Wei said his last sentence in a very, very soft voice.
Yet it caused Qiao Jinglian's heart to deeply tremble.
"Second sister ?"
"Alright, I'm fine now." Qiao Wei interrupted him with a pale smile.
Finally, he looked at the man who stopped not far away, lowered his head, and left.
The moment she turned around.
The man who was originally looking down at the woman suddenly raised his head. His gaze was fixated on that familiar yet gradually unfamiliar back figure. His eyes were filled with a faint glimmer of water.
"Ruo Yuan, what are you looking at?" The woman noticed that he was looking towards a certain direction with a sad expression on his face. She then asked with a frown.
The man took a deep breath and was about to answer the woman.
However, he didn't expect to meet a gloomy gaze when he turned his head.
Qiao Jinglian coldly pursed his lips, even his brows carried a bit of coldness.
With a cold snort, he turned around and left.
An Ruoyuan looked at Qiao Jinglian's leaving figure, and a trace of seriousness surfaced in his eyes.
"Ruo Yuan, I'm asking you a question, why aren't you paying attention to me?" Chi Jiu pulled his arm and said in dissatisfaction.
An Ruo Yuan withdrew his gaze and touched her head, but didn't say anything.
When Xu Qiu pulled Ye Xi to walk in front of Elder Qiao, he was chatting softly with someone else.
Xu Qiu and Ye Xi then quietly stood at the side, waiting for them to finish.
Elder Qiao and the man finished their conversation and turned to look at Xu Qiu and Ye Xi. His eyes immediately revealed love, "They're here."
"Uncle Qiao, I wish you the best of luck, such as Eastsea City, a longer life than Nanshan." Xu Qiu smiled gently.
"Hur hur, good, good." Elder Qiao laughed heartily and looked towards Ye Xi.
When he saw Ye Xi's attire, his eyes slightly narrowed.
It was unknown since when Ye Xi had always felt uneasy in front of the Elder Qiao.
This time was no exception. Seeing him looking at her, Ye Xi's little face stiffened slightly as she squeezed out a smile, "Grandpa Qiao, I wish you a happy birthday and a long life.
"Good boy!" Elder Qiao looked at her amiably and waved her hand, "Come over here quickly, let grandpa take a good look at you. It's been a few years, grandpa can't even see you once."
Ye Xi's face was slightly pale, his fingers pinching lightly, he took a step forward.
Just as she was about to take the second step, a vigorous figure suddenly jumped up and blocked her from the front.
