After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

But she didn't know that there would be no other person in the world besides her who dared to draw on the palm of his hand.

Although regretful, Xia Taozhi is still very good at regulating her emotions. She raised her face and warned her seriously: "You must protect my inspiration. I will paint it again when I get home. Before that, , you can't let it get even remotely damaged."

"What if there's damage?"

"you dare!"

The little girl's eyes widened and she threatened menacingly.

Han Xiao felt funny in his heart.

He really gave her too much freedom and pampering. Now Xia Taozhi is no longer what she used to be, and she still dares to stare at him.

After pinching her cheek, he lightly pecked her lips with lightning speed.

Xia Taozhi was stunned.

This is a public place, with so many pairs of eyes watching, how dare he...

Han Xiao: "Let me keep it and charge some interest."

She was blushing and speechless.

"You are so thick-skinned." She finally choked out this sentence.

"Thank you for the compliment." The man was unmoved, but smiled even more arrogantly.

Xia Taozhi turned her attention elsewhere in anger.

On the dance floor, Jiang Xuan had already danced with several daughters of aristocratic families, and now beside him was another petite figure, also someone Xia Taozhi didn't know.

Where is Cheng Keke?

She was a little anxious because the other party couldn't be contacted again.

She only sent her a voice message before the banquet started, saying that she was fine and would be at the banquet soon. But now, the Gui sisters had all had a quarrel, and she still hadn't seen her friend.

The music ends and the dancing stops.

Jiang Xuan nodded politely, completely ignoring the infatuated eyes of the rich lady in front of him, and walked directly to the stage.Aunt Lian was beside him, sitting in a wheelchair, looking at him with gentle and loving eyes.

His clear and firm voice came from the microphone: "Thank you to all the guests for coming tonight. Your presence has made my Jiang family prosperous. Everyone knows that my parents are no longer here. Now I will inherit the Jiang family. Today's The banquet was also held for me to decide on my partner.”

Having said this, he paused and looked at Xia Taozhi.

Being locked by his sudden gaze, her heart trembled slightly, and she hid behind Han Xiao with some fear.

This move successfully pleased Han Xiao.

He held the girl's slender waist firmly, letting her be enveloped in his arms.

Jiang Xuan didn't seem to care about this and raised the corners of his mouth: "But what I want to tell you is that I already have a marriage partner, and I will take this opportunity to introduce her to you tonight."

popping.

He patted his palms twice, and soon a familiar and graceful figure came from among the crowd.

Xia Taozhi's eyes almost dropped.

"C-Cola..."

She looked at her dressed-up friend in astonishment and was speechless.

Cheng Kele was wearing the same dress of the same color as Jiang Xuan. The pink skirt made her look more agile and lovely than usual, and she looked no worse than those famous ladies.

Amid everyone's exclamation, she walked step by step to the stage and stood side by side with Jiang Xuan. She blinked at Xia Taozhi and gave her a comforting and gentle smile.

Jiang Xuan: "Let me introduce you, this is my fiancée, Cheng Kele."

There was an uproar.

Several girls who had just danced with Jiang Xuan couldn't bear such a blow and almost fainted. Some of them stamped their feet angrily and left regardless of the obstruction of their elders and parents.

For a while, the scene was a little chaotic.

Jiang Xuan didn't take it seriously: "I know you must be surprised, why do I still hold such a banquet when I have the person I like?"

He raised the corner of his mouth, "Because from the beginning, I never said that I would choose my future partner among the guests. This is your misunderstanding. Although I have lost the support of my parents, I believe that with my With our abilities, we will definitely be able to develop the Jiang family even better."

As he said that, he took Cheng Keke's hand.

Cheng Kele was slightly startled, as if he remembered something, and hesitated for two seconds before holding his palm tightly.It feels close to the skin, gentle and slightly warm, and feels different from what you imagined.

Her eyes were burning, and she seemed to be a little closer to her unattainable dream.

At least, the person in the dream is now standing beside her, telling everyone that she is his fiancée.

Xia Taozhi's ears were buzzing.

This scene stimulated her as much as when she discovered her stepmother's secret.

It was so unexpected, so beyond imagination.

She couldn't help but snuggle into the warm embrace beside her: "Han Xiao, pinch me quickly. Am I dreaming?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a heavy blow on his lower back.

Then, a man's joking voice sounded above her head: "You should be happy for your friend. Isn't this what she dreams of?"

happy……

She should be happy, but why does she always feel something is not right...

Before the banquet was over, she couldn't wait to catch up with Cheng Kele.

Before she could speak, Cheng Kele took her arm and smiled: "I'll talk to you slowly when I get back. Now is not the place to talk."

Xia Taozhi nodded: "Okay, you have to tell me everything."

"Yeah." She smiled warmly.

The two stood together chatting.

For the first time in his life, Xia Taozhi felt the warmth of a friend on such an occasion.

Although Han Xiao is good, he cannot replace same-sex recognition. In the past, when attending such occasions, she would either pretend to be stupid or hide away and spend the time quietly.

Today, with the addition of Cheng Keke, things seem to have changed.

While the two were chatting, several ladies came over.

Xia Taozhi recognized at a glance that one of them was the eldest lady who had danced with Jiang Xuan for the longest time just now. Her beautiful and delicate face was as cold as ice.

"I really didn't expect that after working hard for so long, we would be snatched away by such an ugly duckling. I don't know what is wrong with Jiang Xuan and he would like you."

The eldest lady’s surname is Qin.

When Xia Taozhi heard the people in front of her calling her that, she couldn't help but think: It seems that a client whom she blocked before was also named Qin. Could there be any connection between these two people?

As soon as this idea came to her mind, Miss Qin had already pointed her gun at her.

"You are Mrs. Han. I have been famous for a long time. You are worthy of being a latecomer. No wonder you can play together. It seems that you are the same." Miss Qin's words did not sound good, and her face did not look good.

Xia Taozhi smiled: "Excuse me, why don't you come and tell me these words while Han Xiao is here?"

Miss Qin immediately glared.

Before she could say anything, Xia Taozhi answered, "It turns out I don't dare. I'm so picky when it comes to persimmons. It's no wonder... you guys are all in the same boat, am I right?"

"you……"

Miss Qin was so angry that she was shaking, and soon her eyes condensed, "Wait a minute, your dress... you stole someone else's clothes!! You shameless thief!"
