Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Alone in the Empty Room!

Song Yun returned home and began to prepare for tonight's dinner. After so many days without touching Ye Qingqing, Song Yun, a man who had just tasted the forbidden fruit, felt that if Ye Qingqing didn't come back soon, he would have to pick up some traditional craft!

The dinner was ready, the candles were ready, the red wine was ready.

Everything was ready, and with such a romantic scene, he didn't believe Ye Qingqing could remain unmoved!

Yet, just as he was about to call Ye Qingqing, she called first.

Ye Qingqing explained that a friend of her father's from Forty-nine City had come and was hosting a gathering at a five-star hotel, asking if Song Yun would like to join them.

As for these gatherings of high society, Song Yun was never interested.

Listening to them boast about how much money they made this year or how many projects they invested in, Song Yun only felt his eyelids grow heavy.

Hearing that Song Yun didn't want to go, Ye Qingqing didn't press the issue, telling him to stay home, that she would return to the Ye family after the gathering was over, and come back to the Magic Capital Villa tomorrow. hosted-on-MVLeMpYr

He was to keep the home fires burning alone?

Song Yun looked at the table full of dishes and sighed deeply.

Meanwhile, a large suite at the Moon Embrace Hotel had been reserved by Father Deng, who had not come to the Magic Capital simply to meet with old friends, but also to form alliances with new ones for the year ahead and grow together.

At seven in the evening, the gathering began, and a host of social elites made their entrance, everyone looking for familiar faces, forming small groups of three or five.

Father Deng, accompanied by his daughter Deng Qi, walked to the stage. Seeing the host for the night had arrived, everyone turned towards the main stage with their wine glasses in hand.

"Hello everyone, I believe we are all familiar with each other, and I'm very pleased to have you all join this gathering I'm hosting. I hope that in the new year, we will have good relations. Now, let the gathering begin, and I wish you all a very enjoyable time!"

After Father Deng's brief speech, he took his wine glass and went over to stand by Ye Qingqing's father.

"Old Ye, have you noticed that the guests at the gatherings are increasingly younger? The younger generation is indeed formidable!"

In the gatherings hosted by Father Deng in previous years, the majority had been middle-aged or even elderly, but now, the older generation was gradually withdrawing from the stage, and many of the new young faces he couldn't even name. Looking at these unfamiliar faces, Father Deng only felt his age.

"Heh, as the saying goes, 'The new wave washes away the old.' Let's give the younger ones more opportunities," said Ye Qingqing's father, smiling as he gazed at his daughter's figure not too far away.

If one were to talk about the younger generation present, his daughter was definitely one of the outstanding ones. The company he founded was about to go public overseas. Plus, she had the support of her husband, Song Yun; Ye Qingqing's father felt that as long as his daughter didn't suddenly decide to donate all her assets, the Ye family was sure to reach new heights under Song Yun and Ye Qingqing!

While the two of them were chatting, many people came over to toast, although most of the toasts were aimed at Father Deng.

Through the grapevine, they had heard that Deng Qi had taken a liking to a very important figure, and there might even be an engagement or a wedding in the works. The background of this person could potentially propel the Deng family to new heights.

Anyway, rumors being what they are, they became more and more fantastic as they spread, and eventually, everyone heard that Deng Qi was about to get married, and the Deng family's attitude towards this future son-in-law was extremely ambiguous. after Deng Qi's wedding this year, the Deng family would become one of the top families in Forty-nine City!

So in this public setting, many rushed to curry favor.

But what they didn't realize was that Father Deng was in a bind, like someone who had eaten coptis and couldn't express his distress. Setting aside whether the important figure was interested in his daughter, the warning from someone at the top of the red hierarchy was still fresh in his mind. These weren't people the Deng Family could afford to offend.

With a pained expression, Father Deng drank one glass after another amid the well-wishes.

"Deng Qi, I heard you're getting married? Congratulations!"

In the younger circle not too far away, many young people surrounded Deng Qi, offering their congratulations.

Deng Qi originally wanted to retort, but when she thought about Ye Qingqing also being present, she just tacitly agreed.

"Don't forget to come and enjoy the wedding banquet when the time comes!"

With a beaming smile, Deng Qi looked at everyone and said, "The guy I fancy is just so hard to pursue, but with my skills as Miss Deng, it's a piece of cake!"

"Yeah, yeah, who doesn't know that Sister Deng is a heartthrob!"

"Sister Deng, don't forget about us, your little sisters, after you get married!"

"Let's arrange a day to meet your husband-to-be~ We all want to see what kind of young talent he is~"

Finally, the chatter of this small circle reached Old Master Deng's ears. He was almost drunk but sobered up instantly when he heard their conversation.

Frowning, he pulled Deng Qi aside and asked in a low voice, "Which big shot have you been with?"

"Not with anyone."

Deng Qi batted her eyelids and feigned innocence.

Hearing this nearly drove Old Master Deng mad. He had repeatedly warned Deng Qi not to boast about this affair because he had no idea of the power and influence behind this person. If they offended them, the Deng family would be unable to bear the consequences!

But he never imagined that Deng Qi would dare to publicly claim she was with that high-profile figure; how foolish!

"Qi Qi! Until you are with that person, you mustn't ever mention him; it will only make him grow tired of you!"

"Really? They say it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, just a veil apart. I don't believe he would bother to take issue with a little girl like me."

Because of her family's indulgence, Deng Qi had long lost any sense of fear.

Seeing his daughter's carefree expression, Old Master Deng wanted to explode with anger but didn't know how to go about it. After all, if that man really could become his son-in-law, his own status within the Deng Family would rise significantly.

He, too, couldn't help wanting to satisfy his vanity.

"Have it your way, but I warn you, do not investigate his background on your own. Otherwise, even the Deng Family won't be able to protect you!"

Deng Qi nodded and then returned to the young people's circle.

Old Master Deng watched his daughter's retreating figure and heaved a deep sigh, unsure whether this was a blessing or a curse.

While Old Master Deng worried, Father Ye was having a great time drinking with everyone. Although Song Yun wasn't present today, it didn't mean he couldn't brag about his son-in-law; listening to Father Ye incessantly praise his daughter's husband, everyone started to have their own thoughts.

This man was also an exceptional talent; they definitely had to forge a good relationship with him in the future.

"Sister Qingqing, where's your husband? Why didn't he come?"

Around Ye Qingqing was yet another circle of young people.

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing laughed and said, "He doesn't like to participate in these types of events, but we can arrange a dinner sometime in the future and I'll introduce you to him then."

"Sure! Li Shishi said your husband is really handsome; I've got to see this for myself!"

Ye Qingqing gave Li Shishi, who was smiling awkwardly at her side, a wry look, but of course, she wouldn't actually get mad at her best friend.
