Chapter 640
As Song Chuanqi was helping Bai Lanwu with her food, he turned to look at the diplomat from Country S who had just spoken. Seeing the diplomat, his brows furrowed immediately, and he coldly responded, “You’ve mistaken me for someone else!”
The diplomat from Country S wanted to speak, but hesitated, aware of Song Chuanqi’s temper. He didn’t dare to persist with the mistaken recognition. However, he didn’t want to leave matters just like that, so he raised his glass in respect, “Sir, let me toast to your health. I heard you’ve recently undergone major surgery. How are you feeling?”
Song Chuanqi, who couldn’t drink, picked up his tea cup and clinked it with the diplomat from Country S. He took a sip, his expression indifferent, not granting the diplomat any face. He then continued to serve Bai Lanwu her food.noveldrama
His demeanor was nonchalant, but everyone in the banquet hall was perceptive. Especially Lawson Perry, sitting at the nearby table, squinted over his wine glass at the proceedings, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
Even Xia Yanyan could not hide her surprise. What was up with the diplomat from Country S?
Why was he respectfully addressing a wild island fisherman as ‘sir’?
...
Could anyone just casually use the term ‘sir’?
Not just Xia Yanyan, but even Bai Peiluan and Tang Zhou who were seated at the same table were taken aback. They wondered if the diplomat from Country S had mistaken Song Chuanqi for someone else. The way he was addressing him made it seem like he was someone influential.
Three others at the same table – Ye Baixiu, Leng Chenmo, and Bai Lanwu – seemed more composed. Bai Lanwu continued to consume the food served by Song Chuanqi, Leng Chenmo savored his wine, and Ye Baixiu instinctively shielded his face with his hand.
On stage, Ye Junqing took the microphone from the host and passed the other one to Ye Xingguang. He then took her hand, scanned the audience with a proud gaze, and hearing their approval, smiled and said, “This calls for us to obey cheerfully then.”
After Yi Yujian stepped down, the lights dimmed, the background music started, and the banquet hall quickly filled with the couple’s affectionate duet singing.
The lyrics, “Today, you will marry me,” were so fitting. As the song went on, Ye Xingguang couldn’t help but feel the anticipation of a bride-to-be…
Meanwhile, the diplomat from Country S still didn’t want to leave. He stood behind Song Chuanqi and respectfully whispered, “Sir, your parents miss you dearly. When they heard about your surgery, they wanted to visit you. Apart from conveying their congratulations in Country A, they also hope that you would return home. The medical level in Country S is also very good. When you are well-rested, I can arrange a charter flight for you?”
“I’ve told you before, you’ve got the wrong person.” After Song Chuanqi responded in his usually unsmiling manner, he turned his head and gave Ye Baixiu a cold glance.
Ye Baixiu ducked his head to drink, pretending not to notice Song Chuanqi’s intense gaze, and kept shielding his face with his hand.
Bai Peiluan noticed her husband’s strange behavior and lightly tugged his hand, asking, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing, the lights are just a bit too bright.”
After calming himself for a couple of seconds, Ye Baixiu composed himself. He is Ye Baixiu from the Ye’s family, he thought, what was there to fear? He needed to stay composed.
The diplomat from Country S still wasn’t willing to give up, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to persistently bother Song Chuanqi in this setting. Bowing towards Song Chuanqi, he said, “Sir, please enjoy your meal. I will contact you again after the banquet.”
With that said, the diplomat from Country S graciously retired and returned to his seat, listening to the duo’s performance on stage.
On the stage, the man and woman were singing a duet. Ye Junqing sang, “Do you agree to love her, comfort her, respect her, protect her and establish a beautiful family with her for the rest of your life?”
He then answered himself, “Yes I do”
Still holding her hand, he continued singing, “Hear me out, walk hand in hand with me to the very end. Entrust your life to me, yesterday is already passed, tomorrow holds more memories, today you will marry me ….”
