Chapter 188 Promise Me One Thing

When he said that, it piqued everyone's curiosity, they all hoped that Qiao Jinglian would solve the riddle later.

Then, when Xu Qiu heard his words, she frowned slightly. She looked at Qiao Jinglian worriedly, "Jinglian, you ca

ot mess around."

"Don't worry, my sister Xu. Am I that inconsequential?" Qiao Jinglian sloppily replied to Xu Qiu.

A pair of charming phoenix eyes never moved from Ye Xi's body.

She was beautiful tonight!

It was even more beautiful than he had imagined!

The birthday banquet was held on the lawn, and colored night pearls had already been set up to illuminate the surroundings.

Qiao Jinglian stared at Ye Xi as if no one was around, the corners of his mouth still had that roguish smile, but his eyes remained gloomy.

Ye Xi was completely unsettled by his stare, her face red, she moved closer to Xu Qiu, her slender fingers grabbing onto Xu Qiu's arm, she whispered: "Mom, let's not stand here anymore."

Xu Qiu looked at Qiao Jinglian's line of sight that landed on Ye Xi's body like a shadow and sighed in his heart. Then, he pulled Ye Xi's hand and walked towards the relatively fewer people.

Qiao Jinglian raised his eyebrows, and leisurely followed the two of them.

Tonight, he had plenty of time.

His daughter-in-law was too timid, and he didn't want to scare her away before the main event even started.

Qiao Jinglian rubbed his nose. Seeing the two of them stop, he quickly took two steps forward and stood beside Ye Xi.

Xu Qiu and Ye Xi originally wanted to stand in a low-key place that didn't attract too much attention, but in reality, the place they were standing at, was already very far away from the center of the banquet.

But because of the tail following them from the side, Xu Qiu and Ye Xi were still the center of attention. There were even many people that had already moved towards them.

Xu Qiu and Ye Xi both twitched their mouths and looked at Qiao Jinglian unhappily.

"Jinglian, why are you following us? "You're not accompanying Uncle Qiao for today's birthday banquet?" Xu Qiu pursed her lips.

Qiao Jinglian's face suddenly darkened, he frowned: "Why should I accompany him, he has other people accompanying him, he doesn't need me!"

"?" "Jinglian, what are you saying? You're Uncle Qiao's most beloved grandson, so regardless of whether or not he has someone accompanying him right now, he definitely wants you to be by his side."

"He loves me?" Qiao Jinglian coldly snorted, his tone filled with disdain, "If the way he dotes on me is to make the person I love move further and further away from me, I would rather not have his love!"

Hearing his words, Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her head to look at him.

Qiao Jinglian also looked at her at this moment, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a meaning that Ye Xi could not understand, or perhaps, he did not want to admit it.

Ye Xi's breathing stopped, and he suddenly lowered his head.

Qiao Jinglian raised his eyebrows, and looked at her deeply, then slowly raised his eyes to look at Xu Qiu's doubtful gaze, and suddenly spoke in a serious tone: "Sister Xu, I need you to promise me one thing."

"?" Xu Qiu was startled, a bad premonition spontaneously arose in his heart, "What?"

Qiao Jinglian looked at Ye Xi and pursed his lips mysteriously: "Forget it, I'll tell you later."

Xu Qiu's eyes widened as he shrank back, and could only nod his head.

However, she could not help but look at Qiao Jinglian a few more times.

She didn't understand, this fellow and Uncle Qiao had a close relationship since they were young, and the two of them were as intimate as brothers. Why did this fellow mention Uncle Qiao with a face full of indignation today?

And what did he mean when he said that the people he loved were getting further and further away from him?

Xu Qiu frowned, he looked at Ye Xi who had his head lowered, and his expression became gloomy.

Although he was now eighty years old, his body was strong and sturdy. At his age, the other elders would need someone to support them when they go out at their age. If not, they would need a walking stick.

Except for the gray hair, he didn't look to be more than sixty-five or sixty-six.

At the moment, he was wearing a red suit which made him stand out in the crowd.

He was still the same as in his impression. There was always a kind smile hanging on his face. The feeling he gave others was that he was a kind and amiable old grandpa.

Ye Xi looked at the old man in front of him.

Qiao Jinglian snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

Seeing Ye Xi like that, Xu Qiu frowned, and gently shook her hand.

Ye Xi regained his senses, and looked at Xu Qiu with an u

oticeable sadness.

Xu Qiu's heart tightened, and he held her hand even more tightly.

"Lian, Xiao Xi." Qiao Wei appeared in front of them, "Sister Xu, I've found all of you, you really know how to hide!"

Ye Xi was startled when she saw Qiao Wei. "Sister Weiwei, you don't want to walk in the enchanting wind, and change your pure route?"

Other than the pair of pink white high heels on her feet, Qiao Wei was completely white today. Her skin was white, and her dress was white.

Normally, she would have the most exquisite and seductive makeup on her face, but today, she had only put on a simple bit of makeup, looking fresh and natural.

"When did your Sister Weiwei take a route that is completely pure?" Qiao Wei habitually lifted his hair, but he was only able to raise his hair a little, before he awkwardly retracted his hand.

Ye Xi pursed his lips into a smile, walked up, and affectionately pulled her hand.

Qiao Wei hugged her, and when he released her, he glanced at her, "I didn't know that you were so impressive!"

"?" Ye Xi.
