After becoming a disciple of the Pope
Chapter 40
The moonlight is excellent tonight. The tulle floating through the floor-to-ceiling windows complements the lotus-shaped crystal chandelier hanging in the hall, and falls on the gorgeous velvet red carpet, adding a touch of elegance to this lively and elegant birthday party. A touch of romantic and moving atmosphere.
Except for a few priests and priests who were on duty, almost [-]% of the church members in the East District gathered here. From this point of view, no matter what the reason was, this young lady was very popular.
But Ye Shaoqing didn't care about this. He settled Yezheng and Xiaoji in the bedroom. He arrived neither early nor late, and casually brought a glass of coconut juice from the waiter's tray. He sat on the high chair in the corner, picking and choosing. Savor a variety of desserts one bite at a time.
There seems to be something weird about Yezheng tonight. Usually, he always wants to follow Yezheng when he goes out. This time, he is very well-behaved when he goes out, lying on the chaise longue and teasing Xiaoji lazily. The half-smiling look in his eyes always made him feel terrified.
The eyes of the surroundings were all focused on him, but they were all filtered out by Ye Shaoqing's indifferent face. The protagonist tonight is not him, and he always looks at what he does, and there is no flower on his face.
Different from the hypocritical entertainment among the high-ranking dignitaries in the previous life, the priests here, especially the young people, are full of real enthusiasm on their faces. Perhaps they usually maintain the image of a serious and dignified clergyman. With such moments of relaxation and entertainment, you can even drink a few more glasses of wine.
What's more, there is still a similar rumor circulating in private: Miss Changying is very likely to get engaged at her 20th birthday party!
Although Huai Ling has never mentioned this matter in front of everyone, everyone knows that the one who is most likely to become his brother-in-law is the guy sitting in the corner fighting matcha cake.
After picking three pieces of snacks with unique flavors and putting them on the plate, Ye Shaoqing was thinking about how to pack them back for a while, when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.
Looking back, it was Qi Luan with a gentle smile on his face.
The middle-aged head guard looked at Ye Shaoqing up and down with a weird look of relief mixed with melancholy, nodded, and sighed: "Not bad."
Ye Shaoqing frowned inexplicably: "What's good?"
Qi Luan smiled and said: "You are very good, I am very relieved."
"???" Ye Shaoqing was rather disturbed. Is this an irony?Could it be that he was accused of eating too much?
Qi Luan sighed, and continued: "Although Miss Changying has an arrogant temper, she is still very kind-hearted. She is the only daughter of the former chief priest of the East District. Before the old priest passed away, she was entrusted to the care of the priest Huai Ling. As she grows up, I hope she will have a good home in the future, you must treat her well and don't let her down."
"...What?" No matter how dull Ye Shaoqing was, the other party's words were so clear, he should have come to his senses, and suddenly his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and there was a burnt smell of his brain dying.
After a while, he restarted the system from the horror, took a deep breath and said, "What kind of misunderstanding do you have between me and that young lady? I don't know what she will end up with in the future, but I know, it must not be I."
Qi Luan's complexion changed, his brows furrowed, his eyes darkened, and that gentle and humble temperament was replaced by dignified hidden anger. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Ye, didn't you admit to Priest Huai Ling that you Missy has feelings for her?"
"When did I say that?!" Ye Shaoqing's expression was more painful than his. Even if he was sleepwalking, he couldn't say such a thing, and pushed himself into the fire pit!
Seeing the uncertain expression on Qi Luan's face, Ye Shaoqing explained helplessly: "There must be some misunderstanding in this, I really don't have any idea about that for Miss Changying, if I do something to make you misunderstand behavior, I'm sorry."
Qi Luan remained silent for a long time with a dark face, and then slowly let out a breath, reluctantly accepting the reality that he had to face - it seems that someone at this birthday party is destined to be disappointed.
"If this is the case, I am very sorry. I will explain it to the Priest Huailing and Miss Changying, but I beg you to reconsider this matter. It may not be good for you to be with Miss Changying. Bad, at least, please don't hurt the heart of a girl who simply likes you."
"..." Ye Shaoqing nodded silently, but he really couldn't see why that young lady liked her?
Can't he change it?
At the embarrassing moment when the two were speechless, there was a loud noise from the entrance of the hall. Under the long-awaited eyes of everyone, the heroine of the banquet finally arrived late.
Chang Ying wore a custom-made light blue evening dress tonight. The irregular ruffles in the front cut out smooth curves, revealing a pair of slender and clean calves. The back hem dragged on the red carpet, welcoming Seeing everyone's admiring gazes, he held up the corner of the skirt reservedly and came gracefully.
She scanned the crowd inadvertently for a week, and finally found Ye Shaoqing and Qi Luan who looked embarrassed in the corner. Before she had time to read their expressions carefully, Changying pursed her lips and smiled, followed Huai Ling's pace, and walked slowly up the road. stairs.
After Huailing finished speaking as usual and the music started, that person would come up and invite her to the dance floor for the first dance of the night.
Huai Ling glanced at her with relief, showing the same expression of satisfaction and melancholy as Qi Luan.He cleared his throat, and pressed his hands in the air. The noisy hall quickly quieted down. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two people on the second floor, smiling and waiting for the upcoming dance.
"Everyone, tonight is my junior sister Changying's 20th birthday party. Both of us, brother and sister, are very grateful to everyone for taking the time to join us. The church in the Eastern District, thanks to everyone's hard work and hard work, and do our best to spread the glory of the Holy See. Only by maintaining the dignity and glory of the Holy See can we have the status and prestige in Heichuan City today, and even in the entire Liaoyuan Diocese, it is also an existence that cannot be ignored. Here, as the priest of the Eastern District, I will drink three cups with you."
A priest had already prepared good wine to offer, and everyone in the hall raised their glasses with relaxed smiles. All of a sudden, the venue was full of toasts and laughter.
It's a pity that beauty and peace are always used to break.
When everyone was drinking and drinking, an untimely voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, attracting the attention of everyone around.
"It's really lively here, officiant Huai Ling, you're really mean. Changying's 20th birthday party is such an important moment, how can I miss it?"
While talking, Feng Zihua and Li Mao led a group of accompanying guards, ignoring the surprised, dissatisfied, or angry eyes around them, Shi Shiran stepped into the venue, and the people on both sides were captured by his aura, and they couldn't help but let him go. opened a way.
Master Feng Shaocheng was wearing a graceful dress, with one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other arm slightly bent at the elbow. His face was deliberately calm, revealing a wantonness and arrogance that could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.
Li Mao walked beside him calmly, with a lingering coldness in his smile, his one-eyed dark magician Rong Da didn't seem to follow him.
When seeing them for the first time, Huai Ling's eyes flashed a trace of extremely hidden danger, which was soon covered by good cultivation and a smile that never changes for thousands of years.
He greeted him gracefully, and said with a smile, "What's the wind blowing tonight? My junior sister is just having a small birthday party, and it's amazing that the two of you can come here to celebrate in the midst of your busy schedule." The spirit is flattered."
"Forget about others, how can I not come to Miss Changying's ball? After all, I have been waiting day and night for a long time to dance this first dance with Miss Changying." Feng Zihua hehe Smiling, she looked up at Changying upstairs with a slightly cold expression, her eyes were full of undisguised greed and determination.
"Young City Lord." Also noticing his malicious eyes, Huai Ling's eyes sank slightly, and was about to say something to send him away, but Feng Zihua didn't give him this chance.
After clapping his hands three times, an attendant quickly brought up a dark blue velvet box inlaid with gold. The lid of the box was opened silently. A pair of aqua blue earrings and a necklace were placed on the black velvet, with azure blue tassels. , was carefully fashioned into the shape of Yingluo by famous masters, shining brightly under the halo of the crystal lamp, as if there were blue sea water washing and flowing in the gemstones.
At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were taken away by this set of extremely exquisite jewelry. Ordinary precious jewelry, of course, would not have this magical power. The vast and huge spiritual power they radiated was the source of surprise for everyone. .
"Oh, the young city master is so generous." Huai Ling couldn't help but sneered, and he didn't know what his old city master thought, such a precious treasure was taken out by the prodigal son at will and turned into jewelry , just to please the girl.
Feeling the suddenly heavy breathing and fiery envious eyes around him, Feng Zihua's smile deepened, and he deliberately said in an understatement tone: "This set of jewelry is made of the crystal core of the rare and exotic beast Lanjing. The brilliance of the jewel is incomparable to any gemstone, and it can be worn close to the body for a long time, and the spiritual cultivation can get twice the result with half the effort. This is my birthday gift to Ms. Changying.
Holding the gift box, Feng Zihua smiled and bowed slightly to Changying who was walking down the stairs, and said, "I wonder if miss will do you a favor and dance with me?"
Changying looked at him with a complicated face, then at the sneering senior brother, and finally at Ye Shaoqing in the corner.
Oh, this guy is finally willing to emerge from the corner, I saw him pushing away from the crowd and pushing towards this side, Changying couldn't help but her heart beat a little faster, her eyes were shy and looked forward.
Ye Shaoqing scratched his neck, finally saw what the box of jewelry looked like, and also scolded the prodigal son in his heart to comfort his unbalanced heart.
Feng Zihua noticed Changying's expression, turned his head to follow her gaze, and sure enough saw Ye Shaoqing standing at the edge of the crowd, standing out from the crowd like a chicken.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile bloomed on the corner of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.
He stared at him with eyes full of warning, and said coldly: "Boy, you don't know what this first dance represents, do you? You are also worthy to fight with me?"
Qi Luan on the side screamed secretly, before he had time to tell Priest Huailing and Miss Changying, it was all a misunderstanding, how should it end now?
Soon, his worries became unnecessary.
Because another figure that everyone didn't expect had appeared in the hall unknowingly, came out from the crowd, and embraced Ye Shaoqing's arm affectionately under the eyes of everyone, and moved close to him. In his ear, frivolous but unquestionable: "Besides me, who else do you want to dance with, huh?"
Except for a few priests and priests who were on duty, almost [-]% of the church members in the East District gathered here. From this point of view, no matter what the reason was, this young lady was very popular.
