When the banquet was halfway through, Yan Xi hurried over, “Big sister, I’m late.” Probably because she ran over, her face was very red, she was panting, and she was wearing a knee-length dress.
“Why are you running so fast?” Shen Qinglan frowned. Yan Xi had severe asthma and was not suitable for strenuous exercise.
Shen Qinglan glanced behind her and saw Yan Shengyu who had come with Yan Xi. She had sent a message to Yan Xi two days ago, but the college entrance examination was in a few days. So when she didn’t see Yan Xi today, she thought she was not coming.
Yan Xi took a deep breath and stuck out her tongue, “It’s all my brother’s fault. I asked him to leave early, but he always said that we had enough time, but we were still late.”
Yan Shengyu walked closer and heard his sister’s words. He was helpless, “If you hadn’t forgotten the gift at home, we wouldn’t have had to go back to get it. Who is the reason for being late?”
Yan Xi stopped talking. She had been working so hard to finish her homework these past two days just to be able to attend Shen Qinglan’s birthday party. As a result, she overslept today and got up too hastily. Then, when she went out, she forgot the gift she prepared for Shen Qinglan.
Yan Shengyu smiled slightly and handed the gift in his hand to Shen Qinglan, “Happy birthday, classmate Shen.”
Shen Qinglan took the gift and handed it to Fu Hengyi, “Thank you.” Polite but distant.
Yan Shengyu’s eyes dimmed. He had not contacted Shen Qinglan for a while just to let go of his feelings for her. He thought it was okay, but now that he saw her, he realized that the woman in front of him had already entered his heart.
“Big sister, where is the delicious food? I’m hungry.” Yan Xi rubbed her stomach and frowned. She didn’t eat much today.
Shen Qinglan smiled. Yan Xi’s foodie nature was really never forgotten no matter where she went. Thinking of this, she thought of Yu Xiaoxuan. She took a look and saw Yu Xiaoxuan and Han Yi standing in the corner. She took Yan Xi over.
“Xiaoxuan.”
Yu Xiaoxuan heard someone calling her, turned around and saw Shen Qinglan, “Qinglan, you finally remembered me? I thought you only had your Master Fu in your eyes.” She complained, but her eyes were full of smiles.
Shen Qinglan smiled slightly, and finally felt relieved to see that Yu Xiaoxuan could joke now. She pointed at Yan Xi and said, “I’ll introduce you to a friend. This is Yan Xi.”
Before Shen Qinglan introduced Yan Xi, Yan Xi smiled and said, “I know you. You are Yu Xiaoxuan, a good friend of my elder sister.”
Yu Xiaoxuan had heard Shen Qinglan mention Yan Xi before, and today she finally saw the real person. She smiled and said, “Hehe, you can call me Sister Xiaoxuan.”
“Sister Xiaoxuan, it’s our first meeting. Please give me more advice in the future.”
Yu Xiaoxuan was originally a lively person. Although she became much quieter and grew up a lot because of the big changes she had experienced recently, but her personality did not change much. She had a pleasant chat with Yan Xi, and soon, the two went to the dining area together.
Han Yi stood there, watching Yu Xiaoxuan and Yan Xi, each holding a plate, eating and putting food on the plate, and couldn’t help but smile.
The two old men left first after Fu Hengyi’s proposal was successful, along with Chu Yunrong, Chu Yunjin and others. The only people left were some young people.
“Sister-in-law, who is the man who came today?” Han Yi asked, thinking of Alan he had met.
“Someone I knew before.”
Seeing that Shen Qinglan didn’t want to say more, Han Yi didn’t ask, but changed the subject, “Your wedding with Hengyi is scheduled for September, right?”
Speaking of this, Shen Qinglan smiled, “Yes, September 9th.” This date was set by the two old men, and it meant a long time.
“Chinese or Western?”
“Chinese.”
“How are you and Xiaoxuan, what are your plans?” Shen Qinglan looked at Yu Xiaoxuan who was eating happily with Yan Xi. There were little kids around them, but she didn’t see Pei Yining, and didn’t know where she went.
“Xiaoxuan’s career is on the rise now. I want to wait until next year to propose to her.” Han Yi’s eyes were gentle. “Her dream is to become an internationally renowned actress. I want to accompany her to fulfil this wish.”
“You are Xiaoxuan’s only relative in this world. I hope you can take good care of her.”
Han Yi nodded seriously. “I will.”
“Qinglan, someone is looking for you.” Fu Hengyi came over and said something in Shen Qinglan’s ear. Shen Qinglan looked in the direction Fu Hengyi pointed and saw Qin Yan.
She glanced at the dining area and saw that Yan Xi had not noticed Qin Yan’s arrival. She walked towards Qin Yan’s direction.
“Miss Shen, please forgive me for coming uninvited.” Qin Yan said apologetically.
Shen Qinglan had no expression.
“Miss Shen, this is a small gift I prepared for you. I hope you can accept it. I wish you a happy engagement.” Qin Yan handed Shen Qinglan a small bag.
Shen Qinglan took it and said, “Thank you.”
“My husband is still downstairs. I won’t stay any longer. I’m leaving first.” Qin Yan said and left.
Shen Qinglan watched her leave with a hint of doubt between her eyebrows. She had never understood Qin Yan, this woman.
After the banquet, Shen Qinglan went straight into the bathroom to take a shower when they returned home. While Fu Hengyi was sorting out the gifts he had received today in the room.
He did not open the gift boxes, but just sorted them according to the size of the boxes. He waited until Shen Qinglan finished taking a shower before going in to take a shower.
Shen Qinglan glanced at the gifts on the ground, squatted down, and found the one given by Alan among the many gifts. She opened the box and when she saw what was inside, Shen Qinglan’s face suddenly sank. In the box was a ruby brooch, inlaid with rubies in the shape of a flower, and that flower was clearly a Lycoris radiata, exactly the same as the logo of that organization, and on the back of the brooch was a small engraved number “7”, which was her former code name.
Alan, are you trying to remind me of the past? A murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Fu Hengyi came out of the shower and saw Shen Qinglan standing on the balcony in her pyjamas, with her hair still wet. He frowned, “Why are you standing here without wiping your hair?”
Shen Qinglan was just thinking about something and completely forgot about wiping her hair. Hearing Fu Hengyi’s words, she smiled embarrassedly, “I forgot.”
“You.” Fu Hengyi had no choice but to turn around and go to the bathroom to get a towel to help Shen Qinglan dry her hair.
“Fu Hengyi, won’t you ask me who that man was tonight?” Shen Qinglan asked softly, feeling the big hand running through her hair.
Fu Hengyi smiled and said indifferently, “Does that person make you unhappy?”
Shen Qinglan was startled and nodded, “Yes.”
“Then don’t think about him. The most important thing for you now is to accompany me well. The training here will soon be over. I will return to the base next month and will not be able to come home for a while. Wait until tomorrow, then you come to the military area and live with me for a month.”
“Okay.” Shen Qinglan agreed.
After drying her hair, Fu Hengyi went to wash the towel, then went to bed and held Shen Qinglan in his arms. Shen Qinglan turned around and took the initiative to kiss Fu Hengyi on the lips.
Since his wife had invited him, Fu Hengyi would definitely cooperate. He turned over and deepened the kiss…
The next morning, Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi set off directly to the Beijing Military Region.
“Thank you for your company.” Before leaving, Shen Qinglan posted a post on Weibo with a picture of a man’s hand and a woman’s hand clasped together.
At the beginning of the year, Shen Qinglan registered a Weibo account at Daniel’s request. In just a few months, her fans had reached 5 million. This morning, as soon as she posted this picture, the comments under Weibo exploded, all of which were blessings to Shen Qinglan.
On the same day, all major newspapers and weekly magazines in Beijing reported the news of Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan’s engagement, and Shen Qinglan directly topped the hot search list.
Now because of the news of the engagement, Shen Qinglan’s Weibo fans had exceeded eight million in just one day, and her speed of attracting fans was amazing.
“Ahhhhh…, my Qinglan actually posted on Weibo to show off her affection.” Yu Xiaoxuan was eating breakfast while browsing Weibo. Seeing Shen Qinglan’s status, she couldn’t help but scream.
Han Yi was startled by her and leaned over to take a look. “She shows off her affection, so we can show off too.” As he was about to take out his mobile phone to take a selfie, Yu Xiaoxuan pushed his head away, “Who would show off their affection with you? If I want to show off, I will show off with my Qinglan.”
Yu Xiaoxuan was now living with Han Yi, but they didn’t live in the same room.
Yu Xiaoxuan clicked her finger a few times and reposted Shen Qinglan’s Weibo, with the words “My dearest, you must be happy.”
Fang Tong also reposted the Weibo, with a gentle smile on her lips. When Ding Minghui got off the car, he saw her smile. He was dazed and walked a few steps faster.
“Tongtong.” Fang Tong saw that it was him, and the smile on her lips disappeared. She looked at him expressionlessly and quickened her pace.
Ding Minghui chased after her and grabbed Fang Tong’s arm, “Tongtong, let’s talk.”
“I’m going to be late.” Fang Tong said with a cold expression.
“Just five minutes, just five minutes.” Ding Minghui whispered.
Fang Tong thought about it and followed Ding Minghui to the corner, “You still have four minutes.”
“Tongtong, do you have to be so cold to me?” Ding Minghui said hurt.
“If that’s what you want to say, then I’ll leave first. I’m quite busy.”
“Fang Tong.” Ding Minghui called her, “Wait for me for three years, just three years, okay? I’ll marry you in three years.”
Fang Tong paused, as if she had heard a huge joke, and she really laughed out loud, “Hahahahahahahaha…”
“Fang Tong, I’m serious.”
Fang Tong stopped laughing and looked at Ding Minghui, “Ding Minghui, have you forgotten that you are going to marry your good manager next month. Do you need me to remind you again?”
Ding Minghui looked at her, “Tongtong, but I love you, the person I have always loved is you, and the person I really want to marry is also you. Tongtong, I can’t bear to part with you.”
