Chapter 858: Full Moon Celebration (5)
She continued to look for Xiangyi.
Zuo Weiyi was also a little surprised.
This world was too small.
Based on the way her grandfather was behaving, it seemed that he wanted to set Nuannuan up with Cheng Huan. And with the car accident happening earlier, her grandfather must have definitely appreciated Cheng Huan even more.
With Cheng Huan’s identity and background, how could Xiangyi even stand a chance?
Xiangyi and Nuannuan’s love life was destined to have numerous obstacles.
“Sister-in-law, have you seen Xiangyi?” Shi Nuannuan could not help but ask Zuo Weiyi when she was unable to find Xiangyi,
Zuo Weiyi also took a look around the hall and did not see Xiangyi either. Where could he have gone?
“I don’t see him. He did say he wanted to go to the bathroom. Just a second before the music started.”
“I’ll go find him!” Shi Nuannuan let go of Zuo Weiyi’s hand and walked towards the bathroom!
Zuo Weiyi smiled as she watched Nuannuan. When she turned back around, she saw Shi Yuting chatting with Zhong Shenghao and the others. She suddenly remembered the babies and thought that they should be awake soon, so she walked towards their room.
Shi Nuannuan waited for quite a while when she arrived at the public restroom, but Xiangyi still didn’t come out.
She happened to see a guest coming out of the men’s restroom and couldn’t help but ask, “Is there anyone else in there?”
The guest glanced at her and knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Shi family, so he smiled and shook his head. “No.”
Shi Nuannuan frowned. No? Then where did she go?
She turned around and walked towards the banquet hall again.
“Achoo!”
As the weather had turned cold, Manli could not help but sneeze in her strapless gown. It must have been because she had been standing there for too long on the balcony.
Xiangyi turned to look at her, knowing that she was Shi Yuting’s best partner with a distinguished status.
Out of courtesy, he said, “Miss Manli, you’d better go in.”
With banquets such as these, where the men were in a suit and tie, but the women were bare-shouldered, it was inevitable she would feel cold in such an outfit and weather.
“Forget it. I was in a heated room and had drunk a little wine just now, so I came out to get some air. Plus, my head was starting to hurt.” Manli smiled elegantly. Although it was a little cold, the evening wind blew, making her feel quite comfortable and sober.
“Achoo!”
Another sneeze came. Manli frowned. Did she really catch a cold?
However…
Her gaze suddenly turned to Xiangyi. Ever since she knew that Shi Yuting had a beloved wife, she had become interested in this personal assistant of his.
Since he had always been very polite because of his status, she wondered what he would do if she insisted on not going in.
Xiangyi tried to convince her but she still refused, so there was nothing he could do.
“Achoo!”
Yet another sneeze came, and Manli suddenly turned to look at Xiangyi. She looked at his black suit jacket while she touched his arm that was cold from the wind.
Noticing her gaze, Xiangyi paused for a few seconds, then glanced at his suit jacket.
Although he didn’t say anything, her behaviour was quite obvious.
“You don’t mind lending me your jacket, do you?”
Just as he was hesitating, Manli suddenly asked.
Due to the disparity in status, Xiangyi had no other reason to refuse.
