After nearly half an hour of introductions and speeches, the reception really started. At this time, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was completely different from the previous warm-up time. There were originally three or five groups of guests talking, and it started to get bigger. Expanding their social circle in a wide range, almost everyone is busy between drinking and drinking. After all, in such an occasion, businessmen gather, maybe they can bring a business to their company?

Of course, this refers to most of the guests, and there are still a small number of guests who don’t need to be tired of socializing. Henry belongs to this category. In fact, there are not many people who want to approach him, but there are still Before he came to him, he was persuaded away by the members of the Wei family. Although everyone felt a little unwilling, they couldn't save the Wei family's face. After all, they were the hosts of the reception tonight, weren't they?

In fact, this is what Henry himself meant. The reason why he appeared here tonight is entirely because of Qin Nan's invitation, and he has no plans to find a partner in the country for the time being, so he revealed it to the Wei family in a small way. Let me know what I mean, and this is exactly what the Wei family wanted.

Compared with him, Wei Yixuan was not so lucky. After Wei's father finished his speech on stage, he went drinking with a group of old friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Even handing over the position of the president of the Wei Group, these are what Wei Yixuan should do.

Fortunately, with Wei Yixuan's current status, there are not too many people who can let him socialize in person. After about a round, Wei Yixuan was at leisure, and went back to the rest area with Gu Zirou to catch his breath.

After the two returned to the rest area, they found that Henry and Demi were also here. They held a glass of red wine in each hand, leaned close to each other, and whispered something.

As if sensing their arrival, Henry suddenly raised his head and greeted them.

Wei Yixuan nodded at him, and then sat down on another sofa not far away. He had said too much just now, and now he didn't have any desire to talk at all. He just leaned on the back of the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing his tired face, Gu Zirou showed a worried look, "Xuan, are you okay?"

"En." Wei Yixuan responded without saying anything unnecessary.

Gu Zirou knew that he was indeed tired, so she wisely stopped talking with him and leaned on the other end of the sofa to play with her mobile phone. After a while, as if she suddenly realized something, she raised her head and glanced at Demi who was opposite her. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

They were sitting face to face, and this action naturally did not escape the eyes of the two people opposite. Henry and Demi looked at each other, raised their brows and said, "Miss Gu, is it strange that Demi changed her clothes?" ?”

Hearing that he asked so directly, Demi showed a helpless expression on her face, but she did not stop Henry's next move. She was not the Holy Mother, and she had no complaints about what Gu Zirou did. Since Henry If you want to avenge her with great interest, then she just needs to watch from the side.

"Huh?" Gu Zirou obviously didn't expect him to ask such a question suddenly, he froze for a moment, then shook his head lightly and said, "It's my fault, I wanted to accompany Miss Demi with a new dress, no Thinking that Miss Demi brought a change of clothes herself."

She was clearly apologizing, but she was actually taunting Demi intentionally or unintentionally. The smile on the corner of Henry's mouth suddenly faded a lot, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

But before he could speak, Wei Yixuan who was beside him suddenly asked, "What did you do?"

Gu Zirou was taken aback by his sudden question, she thought Wei Yixuan wasn't listening to them, she couldn't help feeling annoyed in her heart, but her face didn't show at all, "Oh, when I was talking to Miss Demi just now, I was caught A bumpy waiter accidentally spilled red wine on Miss Demi's dress."

Hearing what she said, Wei Yixuan's gaze shifted to Demi on the opposite side, only to see that the low-cut dress completely exposed her fair and beautiful neck, and at the same time exposed a necklace she was wearing around her neck. In Wei Yixuan's eyes.

Sensing his gaze, Demi subconsciously raised her hand to cover her necklace, and at the same time changed the subject: "It's okay, I believe Miss Gu didn't do it on purpose."

When she said this, she deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the five words "not on purpose", the irony in it was obvious, Gu Zirou's heart froze, and when everyone was not paying attention, she gave her a hard look.

"Well, I'll get someone to give you a new dress later." Wei Yixuan retracted his gaze and said in a flat tone, but his words were obviously ambiguous. Sensing Henry's displeased eyes on the other side, he added He said, "As an apology."

"No need, it's just a piece of clothing." Despite this, Henry still rejected his proposal, "And Miss Gu didn't do it on purpose, it would seem that we are too stingy if we accept it!"

Hearing what he said, Wei Yixuan nodded and did not insist on his own opinion.

Between the two of them in just a few words, they have already confronted back and forth several times, but neither of them has gained the upper hand. Fortunately, neither of them is a person who cares about everything. No one paid any attention to it.

But this "who" does not include Gu Zirou. Although she also knew that her actions this time were too hasty, she didn't feel regretful at all. As a woman, her intuition told her that Wei Yixuan's attention to Demi was definitely not worth it. Normally, she has endured three years and will never allow things to change at this time!

Although the heart is turbulent, Gu Zirou still looks calm on the surface, and said with a smile: "I am indeed too careless about this matter. Although the waiter hit me, it still hurts Demi after all." Miss, I hope Miss Demi doesn't take it to heart."

Hearing that she was still putting the blame on the waiter, Demi showed a half-hearted smile and didn't answer her words, but let Gu Zirou make a note of her in his heart.

The reception would last until eleven o'clock in the evening, but Demi was concerned about her daughter who was left alone in the hotel, so Henry told Father Wei and Qin Nan to take her away early.

"Since you still have work to do, then I won't keep you any longer." After hearing his explanation, Father Wei did not force him to stay, and nodded in understanding, "Be careful on the road."

But before Henry could speak, Qin Nan suddenly remembered something and asked, "You guys shouldn't be in a hurry to leave here, right?"

Henry and Demi looked at each other, and the former shook his head and said, "Originally, we came to this celebration specially at the invitation of the seniors, but we haven't made any plans for the following things, but the seniors have something to order ?”

"How dare I tell you to do something?" Qin Nan stroked his beard with a smile, "But it's true that I need to discuss something with you. Don't rush to leave. I'll contact you later."

Henry nodded, "Well, we don't have any plans anyway, so it's okay to stay."

The next few people exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Henry took Demi away, and since leaving the hotel, Demi seemed to have something on her mind suddenly, she was no longer as calm as she was in the hotel just now, and the whole person became silent a lot.

Henry noticed her strangeness, and wanted to ask her what was wrong, but he swallowed the words back, so on the way back to the hotel where they were staying, the three people, including the driver, It was all spent in an atmosphere of silence and oppression.

Fortunately, after returning to the hotel, this silence was broken by an immature voice. As soon as the two of them walked into the hotel room, they heard Xuanxuan running over, calling "Daddy, Mommy", with a cute little The face was full of grievances, "Daddy, Mommy, why are you only coming back now?"

"We're already back early!" Henry said while picking up the little girl who was holding his leg, and walked towards the living room, "I'm just afraid that Xuanxuan will be in a hurry!"

Xuanxuan was held in his arms, her two calves were dangling dishonestly, her mouth was so pouted that it could hang on the oil bottle, "Of course I'm in a hurry, no one is playing with Xuanxuan!"

"Oh?" Hearing her words, Henry couldn't help raising his brows, "Didn't Daddy let the bodyguard brothers play with you?"

"They're not fun!" Xuanxuan glanced at the bodyguards in the room, curled her lips and said in disgust.

The bodyguards who were disliked wanted to cry without tears. God knows how many ways they tried to please this "little princess" after Henry and Demi left, but they didn't give face at all, and kept clamoring for Looking for Daddy and Mommy, they are just bodyguards, not babysitters, okay?
Henry also knew that the group of subordinates who followed him were all dull and boring people, and they were indeed good at performing tasks, but coaxing children was not their forte, so he didn't criticize them harshly, but just waved his hand to let them All leave first.

So all the bodyguards walked out one by one as if they had received a pardon, and after a while, there were only three of them left in the room.

After playing coquettishly in Henry's arms, Xuanxuan ran to Demi again, and opened her arms for a hug, but Demi didn't seem to notice, and was still immersed in her own thoughts.

"Mummy?" Without getting a response from her, Xuanxuan looked at her suspiciously, then turned to look at Henry after a while, "Daddy, what's wrong with Mummy?"

Henry glanced at Demi worriedly, then shook his head, "Daddy doesn't know, he must be tired."

"Then I'll beat Mommy's back!" Xuanxuan said, she kicked off her little shoes and climbed onto the sofa, then clenched her hands into fists and put them on Demi's shoulders, giving her a beat back up.

It wasn't until she felt the little force from her shoulders that Demi came back from her own thoughts. After realizing her daughter's filial behavior, she was moved and hugged the little guy and kissed her, "Xuanxuan Awesome, thank you Xuanxuan!"

"Then Mommy, are you better?" Xuanxuan looked at her nervously and asked.

"Well, it's much better!" Demi nodded, and kissed her tender little face a few more times, "Does Xuanxuan miss Mommy?"

Hearing her question, Xuanxuan nodded heavily, "Of course!" After finishing speaking, she suddenly turned her head to look at Demi, and begged seriously: "Mommy, take me with you when you go out next time." OK?"
