Chapter 643
Xia Yanyan had never even dreamt that Ye Xingguang, that innocent little lotus, would have such a good family background?noveldrama
Thankfully, she’s only an adopted daughter, otherwise she’d be a princess of Country S!
What Lawson Perry is thinking, however, is that it’s such a pity she’s adopted. Otherwise the President’s brother marrying the Crown Prince’s daughter of Country S…
Lawson Perry feels let down, and Xia Yanyan feels even more upset, finding no joy in eating anything. The entire banquet was a total mood dampener!
The state banquet lasted until past nine o’clock without finishing. However, Song Chuanqi, whose health wasn’t fully recovered, excused himself early and left. Naturally, Bai Lanwu followed her husband out.
Ye Xingguang also wanted to go along, but was stopped by Song Chuanqi: “You young people go and enjoy yourselves. Having your mother accompany me is enough.”
...
With filial respect, Ye Xingguang stood up and accompanied her parents to the entrance. Ye Junqing had already arranged a car. The two of them accompanied Song Chuanqi and Bai Lanwu to the car, closed the door, and then Ye Xingguang stood there, watching her parents leave before returning to the banquet hall.
The diplomat from Country S, seeing Song Chuanqi leave, also left, following the former’s car in his own vehicle.
In the car, Bai Lanwu noticed the car following them. She whispered to her husband: “It seems they intend to follow you to Country S. That diplomat probably won’t easily give up. Will you go back?”
“No.” Song Chuanqi wrapped his arm around Bai Lanwu’s shoulder, pulling her into his embrace: “We’ll retire on this island.”
He is not the Crown Prince of Country S and he could not accept that he was once the Crown Prince of the country. Over the years, he had become accustomed to island life and would not easily plunge into the vortex of power of the royal family of Country S. The real Crown Prince of Country S is Ye Baixiu, but unfortunately, it is impossible to explain now.
No one would believe it even if he explained.
As long as the woman he had always wanted to marry remained his wife, Song Chuanqi was content.
Upon returning to the banquet hall, Ye Xingguang went to the restroom.
As she walked into the ladies’ room, she looked up and saw Xia Yanyan in front of the sink, touching up her makeup in the mirror.
Ye Xingguang averted her gaze, walked into an unoccupied stall, and closed the door. A moment later, she came out of the stall to find Xia Yanyan still at the sink, touching up her makeup. Ye Xingguang stood next to her washing her hands.
Xia Yanyan was annoyed to see her. Looking in the mirror, she realized that Ye Xingguang’s makeup looked very nice tonight. A woman indeed needed makeup. After applying makeup, the innocent little lotus looked just like a heavenly immortal, and even she couldn’t help but envy her.
Wait…
The little lotus, after applying makeup, looked very much like a woman she had once seen in a shopping mall. She hadn’t paid much attention earlier, but now, the more she looked at the little lotus in the mirror, the more convinced she became that they were not just similar, they were the same person!
What kind of amazing make-up artist did she have? After applying make-up, she looked even more like she wasn’t wearing any. This was real skill!
Xia Yanyan couldn’t resist the urge to find out the name of the makeup artist. She wanted to hire her to become her dedicated makeup artist.
Ye Xingguang washed her hands and dried them, ready to return.
But just as she was about to step out, Xia Yanyan, looking apologetic, spoke up: “Miss Ye, about those baseless speculations from netizens on the Weibo hot search, I hope you won’t take it to heart. Lord Ye still loves you very much. Those mermaid theme parks were just some trivial things he did before he met you.”
There were many people coming and going in the ladies’ room, and Ye Xingguang did not want to have a dispute with Xia Yanyan there. However, if Xia Yanyan wanted to stir up trouble, she would not avoid it. She responded with a smile:
“Why would I mind? I know that the efforts he put into the mermaid theme park were all for Xia Qiongqiong. Xia Qiongqiong is my best friend. Surely, I wouldn’t be jealous of my best friend, and I believe Miss Xia wouldn’t be jealous of her own little sister, right?”
