Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 777: Tonight, She Will Belong to Someone Else

Chapter 777: Chapter 777: Tonight, She Will Belong to Someone Else

The banquet hall was a scene of harmony, with a sweet and joyful atmosphere.

Huo Sijiao, holding Xie Xubai’s hand, greeted the elders of the Xie Family one by one, also exchanging words with friends and family and finally acknowledging the notable figures of Beijing.

Her smile became stiff.

Her feet were sore from the high heels, and she wasn’t sure if they had blisters.

Engagements were this tiring.

She couldn’t imagine what a wedding would be like.

"Sister-in-law."

With her cheeks flushed red from the alcohol, she walked over to Qiao Xi and pouted, "This engagement is really exhausting!"

Qiao Xi tidied up her stray hair and said, "It’s a once-in-a-lifetime engagement banquet, you should cherish it."

"I’ve had so much to drink, my stomach feels awful."

Xie Xubai, standing beside them, said, "I’ve arranged for a small feast in the main house, you can go there and eat something."

Huo Sijiao asked, "Is it okay for me to leave like this?"

"It’s fine, I’ll handle the formalities here."

"Great!"

Huo Sijiao pulled Qiao Xi towards a glass corridor on the other side; through this passage, they could reach the main residence of the Xie Mansion, where the Xie Family lived regularly.

The main residence felt much quieter, allowing Huo Sijiao to completely relax.

The dining table was laid with exquisite small dishes, featuring some of her favorite specialties.

Especially the snow-skin red bean paste.

Xie Xubai remembered what she liked very clearly.

"Sister-in-law, let’s eat something quickly. You mustn’t go hungry, or my brother won’t let me off the hook."

Huo Sijiao placed a piece of snow-skin red bean paste on Qiao Xi’s plate, "Try it, it’s completely different from the taste in Haicheng. This is my current favorite dessert, and also this pigeon pastry, it’s great not having to deal with those people in the banquet hall!"

Qiao Xi watched her enjoy the food heartily, and the smile in her eyes grew warmer.

It made her happy to see Huo Sijiao finding happiness.

"Young Madam."

A maid from the Xie Family approached and whispered something to her.

Huo Sijiao put down her chopsticks, her smile dimming a bit.

"I’ll go check it out."

She lifted her skirt, stood up, and informed Qiao Xi before heading out.

After several turns, she came across a familiar figure. Slowing her pace, she approached and said, "I heard you wanted to see me alone? If you have something to say, say it quickly."

Shen Xuanzhi turned around to look at her, a flash of astonishment in his eyes, but his heart grew heavier.

Tonight, she would belong to someone else.

"Do you really like Xie Xubai? Or is it because of the Huo Family..."

"What does it have to do with you? Whether or not I like Xie Xubai, I’m willing to marry him. If Huo Sijiao doesn’t want something, no one can force me to bow down." Huo Sijiao couldn’t be calm facing Shen Xuanzhi.

After all, he was someone she had loved deeply, and he had given her a profound lesson.

Flash-marriage!

Was it only Shen Xuanzhi who could do such a thing as a flash-marriage? Huo Sijiao was not to be trifled with either.

"Alright."

Shen Xuanzhi lost all hope.

He thought reason could control emotions, but it was too late.

That repressed emotion spread like seaweed, overwhelmingly occupying his entire heart.

Causing him to be sleepless, constantly thinking of Huo Sijiao.

"Shen Xuanzhi, you are already married. The Guan Family has now fallen out of the top four families and suffered heavy losses. You should focus on reviving your family. Miss Guan is a very good woman, you should cherish her."

This was Huo Sijiao’s final admonition.

"I know, this is the last time I’ll say such inappropriate things to you."

Shen Xuanzhi took out a string of smooth sandalwood beads from his suit pocket, which was his father’s relic. He had carried it with him for over twenty years, and the sandalwood beads were glossy and oily, looking very precious.

He extended his hand, placing the sandalwood beads in Huo Sijiao’s palm.

"A wedding gift for you." It was the most valuable thing of his own that he had.

Since there was fate without destiny, he followed his heart in the end, leaving the most important thing with her.

"I can’t take it, it’s your father’s relic."

"Once you accept it, I won’t bother you again."

"Shen Xuanzhi, are you threatening me?"

"Huo Sijiao, I am begging you." Shen Xuanzhi wanted to maintain the last bit of connection with Huo Sijiao; having something of his by her side was enough.

Huo Sijiao’s fingers touched the string of sandalwood beads, and she felt a sour sharpness at the tip of her nose: "You never... used to talk this much. When facing me, it was either a cold face or harsh words. I always remember that night when I visited to verify your engagement to Guan Jingtan, and you said you despised me and didn’t want to see me anymore."

For the first time in her life, she liked a man so much, but her passion was doused by the snowstorm of that night.

"I regretted it, countless times. If... I hadn’t made that choice, if..."

If he hadn’t wanted to use the Guan Family for revenge, it could have been him engaged to Huo Sijiao today.

"Shen Xuanzhi, live well from now on. Today... is the last time we’ll meet alone." Huo Sijiao held the string of sandalwood beads tightly and said, "I’ll accept the gift. Thank you."

"Goodbye."

She gave Shen Xuanzhi a long look, then lifted her skirt and walked ahead.

But the further she walked, the more something felt wrong.

Why was her body getting hotter and hotter?

Her legs were weak, and only by leaning against the wall could she avoid collapsing. Her consciousness was fuzzy, and her eyes blurred everyone.

A man dressed as a server supported her and said, "Miss Huo, are you alright? I’ll help you upstairs to rest."

"No..."

"You’re drunk, let me help you."

The man’s grip was strong; he wrapped an arm around her waist and covered her mouth, forcibly taking her to the second-floor lounge of the banquet hall through the back door.

"Let... let go, mmm..."

Huo Sijiao was brought into a dim room.

Her heart was like dead ashes.

And around the corner, Pei Chun revealed a faint smile.

Finally got rid of a nuisance, now just to wait for someone to come and catch them in the act. With this spectacle, the marriage between Xie Xubai and Huo Sijiao would definitely not happen.

And she would have a chance.

"Hey, you look really sleazy sneering here."

Pei Chun flinched at the crisp, melodious female voice, turning around only to see a young girl who still had a childish look.

She spoke in a hostile tone, "Mind your own business."

Feng Nanxi stared at Pei Chun, a mischievous smile in her eyes, "Are you plotting something bad here?"

Pei Chun rolled her eyes and strutted away in her high heels.

She had other things to do.

Feng Nanxi looked at the closed door of the lounge on the second floor, pondering whether to intervene. But then she heard footsteps on the stairs, and her figure concealed itself in the dark. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Seeing who it was, she smiled.

Apparently, her meddling wasn’t necessary.

She stayed for a few more minutes, observing what was happening.

She was both astonished and appreciative; Beijing people surely knew how to settle scores!

At that moment, a commotion erupted from the banquet hall downstairs. Feng Nanxi glanced over, her smile growing wider.

It seemed that tonight was indeed going to be lively!
