Chapter 31

The 50-year-old birthday banquet of Huaichang Dynasty was held grandly and grandly. In the banquet hall on the top floor of Yinzi International Hotel, the clothes were fragrant and the temples were intertwined, making it very lively.

On the balcony outside the banquet hall, Huai Jing stood by the guardrail with a wine glass. Under the building, there is a lot of traffic, and the lights are intertwined like gold and silver threads, making it prosperous.

Holding the phone, Huai Jing's expression was light, but her eyes were full of smiles. After asking Xu Xingxing, he raised his eyes and looked at the two people who were walking not far away, the smile in his eyes faded away, and a layer of coldness and laziness appeared.

"Hang up first." Huaijing finished speaking in a deep voice, hung up the phone and put it away, smiled at the two people who came over, and said, "Second uncle, happy birthday."

Huai Changchao was wearing a suit, and the flattery and blessings he received on his birthday made him look a lot more rosy, with some high spirits in his expression. Holding the wine glass, Huaiyang Ping stood behind him with a smile on his face.

"Thank you." Huaichang smiled first and asked, "What are you doing here? Your brother and I have been looking for a long time."

"I saw you went out and thought you were gone." Huaiyangping said with a smile. Huaiyangping's mouth looks like Huaichangchao's, the corners of his lips are naturally hooked, and he looks like a smile on weekdays.

Huaijing glanced at Huaichangchao and said, "How can I go on Uncle's birthday. I'll have a bowl of longevity noodles later, to feel happy."

"What's the joy of being an old man like me." Huai Changchao smiled helplessly and said with emotion, "I'm old, and the Huai family will be your young people's world from now on."

"Hey, second uncle." Huaijing's tone was full of disapproval, he said with a smile: "It's not right for you to say that. My father lived to be in his fifties in such a short life, and you can live to eighty or ninety. what."

As soon as Huai Jing's words came out, Huai Changchao smiled. He looked up at Huai Jing, his eyes dark.

Seeing their awe-inspiring expressions, Huai Jing shook his head slightly, raised his index finger and tapped his head slightly, apologetically, "I drank too much, so I didn't stop my words."

Huaichang moved his gaze on his face twice, and finally laughed again and said, "You can't say that after drinking too much. He is your dad after all."

With a snort between her nose, Huai Jing raised her eyes and smiled at Huai Changchao, her tone light.

"Yes, he is not only my father, but also your brother. If my son said that to my brother, I would not be happy."

After Huaijing finished speaking, he glanced at Huaiyangping and smiled at him.

After listening to Huai Jing's words, Huai Changchao's face became a little worried again, and he said helplessly: "You, your son, and your girlfriend are not seen. When are you going to..."

Wrinkling his brows slightly, Huaijing squinted his eyes and interrupted: "My brother urged my brother when he was not married. Now my brother is married and starts urging me. When I get married, you should urge Xiaohan."

Xiaohan is Huaiyanghan, the second son of Huaichangchao. Hearing Huaijing mentioning him, Huaichangchao's eyes softened, so he didn't continue talking about it. He glanced at the banquet hall and said to Huai Jing.

"A lot of people came to the board of directors today. You and I go in and say hello."

Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Huaijing glanced at the people in the banquet hall and said lightly, "Forget it, I have been in IO since I returned to China, and I am not familiar with them, so let my brother accompany you. "

Huaijing's indifference made the father and son look at each other without a trace. Huai Changchao smiled and said, "Yes, but you can't keep doing this, after all, you are the one who took over the Huai family in the end."

The eyelashes drooped slightly, the liquid in the cup was clear and bright red, and the corners of Huaijing's lips curled into a smile that was as cold as the night wind.

Since Huai Jing had no intention to go to the banquet hall, Huai Chang Dynasty did not invite him again. Before leaving, he said, "You drank too much today. Come back to the mansion with us, so that your grandma won't worry."

"No." Huai Jing refused, "I have a driver."

"Okay." Today is his birthday banquet after all, and everyone in the banquet hall is waiting for him. After Huai Changchao finished speaking, he got up and walked into the banquet hall.

As soon as Huai Changchao entered the door, guests rushed over, the father and son laughed in the crowd, it really seemed like that.

Glancing at the banquet hall, Huai Jing retracted his gaze, put his arms on the wooden railings, and looked up at the night sky.

The weather is sunny today, the night is dark, and the stars are full of stars. Such a starry sky is really beautiful.

After being hung up, Xu Xingxing put the phone aside, thinking about Xu Xingyuan's engagement. On the phone, the mother said that Zhou Tongtong's family wanted a betrothal gift of 188,800.

To be honest, these dowry gifts are really not many in Huai City.

Huaicheng is an old city, where sons are more important than daughters. Marrying a daughter is like selling a daughter. After receiving a large portion of the dowry, most of them are used by the wife's parents to supplement their son's marriage.

When Xu Xingxing got married, it was already 100,000 yuan, and now the price has skyrocketed, and it is even more high.

The Zhou family said that they wanted these dowry gifts, and they would accompany her back to Tongtong when she got married. They didn't want a penny. They only have one daughter, and the eldest son is already married, so he doesn't need to spend any money, and the betrothal gift is just to make the life of the young couple more prosperous in the future.

Xu Xingyuan really climbed into a good family.

Xu Xingxing thought about it, and his thoughts gradually drifted away. For some reason, he thought of her engagement.

At that time, Wang Shunsheng had no money to start a business, and his father Wang Zhiwei only paid them a down payment for a second-hand house. As for the bride price, their family gave 80,000 yuan. And the 80,000 yuan was also loaned by Wang Shunsheng himself from the bank. After getting married, Xu Xingxing gave the money to Wang Shunsheng and made an investment for him.

Although Xu Xingxing went to college, he grew up in Huaicheng and was deeply conservative in his bones. He felt that after marriage, he should support her husband unconditionally. And to say something cool now, she still had love for Wang Shunsheng at that time. Once there is love, it is doomed to her humbleness and obedience.

Now that think about it, it's pretty stupid.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing suddenly came back to his senses, just now Huaijing joked that she was not married at such an old age, because she was already married. Then why does he still laugh at her? Is it a joke that she didn't get a second marriage?

Thinking that Wang Shunsheng was not so angry, Xu Xingxing lay on the sofa, pinched Mimi's little paws, and said in a low voice, "I should have said that I was married once, you are older than me and you haven't been married yet, How are you..."

After muttering, Xu Xingxing laughed again. Her forehead touched Mimi's forehead and rubbed against the soft fluffy fur.

She and Huaijing have been together for a long time, and they have become a lot more childish. Is it worth showing off being married? Didn't she suffer a loss in her marriage?

Xu Xingxing sighed softly.

After washing up, Xu Xingxing dried his hair and played on the sofa for a while while holding the electronic keyboard. She was covered with a thin blanket, Mimi was nestled around her neck, and the house was warm with the floor heating on. After playing for a while, eyelids felt a little tired, and finally fell asleep on the sofa.

Xu Xingxing was awakened by a knock on the door, and she frowned at the beginning. After a while, the knock on the door was like the sound of a drum, and it began to drown out, gradually dispelling Xu Xingxing's sleepiness.

Only the night lights are on in the living room, and the light fills the living room softly, like water bursting from a dike. Xu Xingxing opened her eyes, and after confirming that someone was knocking on her door, she got up from the sofa with a vigilant look.

Looking up at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock. Mimi also heard the knock on the door, stood by the sofa, tilted her head and looked up at her. Seeing her so nervous, Mimi let out a soft "meow".

Hearing Mimi's cry, Xu Xingxing's heart trembled, she "shhh" carefully, got up with her phone in hand, and walked to the door lightly.

At the door, Xu Xingxing stood on tiptoe on the carpet at the door. She put her hands on the door, leaned over the cat's eyes and looked out.

The man outside the cat's eyes seemed to know that she would look at him. His head was slightly tilted to the side, and his light brown eyes looked at the cat's eyes, dyed with the wind and frost of winter.

The eyes of the two met, Xu Xingxing's lips slightly parted. She glanced at it with the same confirmation, the man outside the window raised his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips already had a smile.

Seeing his smile, Xu Xingxing landed on both feet, put his hands on the doorknob and twisted it open, opening the door.

As soon as the door opened, the cold wind quietly entered, blowing on Xu Xingxing who was only wearing a pajamas, and she shivered slightly.

"Why are you here?" Xu Xingxing smelled a faint smell of alcohol. He went to his second uncle's birthday party, why did he come to her house so late.

The man's expression was the same as usual, and his complexion glowed coldly under the sound of the voice-activated lights in the corridor, making the outlines of his facial features indistinct.

"Drunken." The man replied lightly, and finally looked into her eyes and asked, "Can I go in? It's a little cold."

The man's voice was a little tired and hoarse, Xu Xingxing's throat moved, he blinked his eyelashes slightly, and got up to let the door open.

"come in."

The man got up and entered the door.

"Let's go to the bedroom and lie down for a while." Since she let him in, it meant that she would be responsible to the end tonight. He was drunk and shouldn't feel too well now.

Xu Xingxing took a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

Huaijing looked back at her, the night light warmed his cold white skin. He took the glass to his lips and drank it.

"Okay." Handing the water glass to Xu Xingxing, Huaijing got up and went to the bedroom.

Xu Xingxing has taken care of drunk men, whether it is Xu Xingyuan or Wang Shunsheng, she has taken care of them. But when he was drunk, he was neither noisy nor noisy, so quiet, there was only Huaijing himself.

Xu Xingxing felt a little weird that someone who was usually so troublesome was so obedient after being drunk.

When she put down the water glass, there was a sound in the bedroom. The light of the night light shone halfway into the bedroom, and the man behind the light fell straight on the bed.

Xu Xingxing was startled and quickly walked into the bedroom.

She turned on the bedroom light first, and then saw Huaijing lying on the bed. He placed his hands on his side in a regular manner, and his legs were suspended on the edge of the bed.

Xu Xingxing approached, and smelled the wine again, as well as the faint aroma of grapes. She looked at the man's tightly pursed lips and closed eyes, and sighed lightly.

Are you in a bad mood after drinking so much alcohol?

After Xu Xingxing adjusted his body, he untied his tie and neckline as he usually did. He drank so much wine that the skin at the neckline was still white. Xu Xingxing's fingertips touched the skin between his neck, a little hot.

The slightly hot heat made Xu Xingxing's eyes move, and she put her hand along his neck to her cheek. The man's skin was fine and firm, and it was indeed a little hot.

When Xu Xingxing touched his face with one hand and his own face with the other to feel the temperature, the man on the bed seemed to feel her touch and opened his eyes.

His eyes opened, light brown eyes with fierce vigilance. But this vigilance, after seeing that the person in front of him was Xu Xingxing, disappeared little by little like cotton candy in water.

Xu Xingxing was startled when he suddenly opened her eyes, she retracted her hand and said to Huaijing.

"I'll get a towel to wipe your face."

The towels at home were washed yesterday, but Xu Xingxing still hadn't collected them, they were all hanging on the balcony. Her balcony is in the bedroom, Xu Xingxing pushed open the sliding door and walked out.

The balcony is not big, only the length of the bedroom, and the width can only accommodate two people. The half-person-height wall is connected to a sliding window. The window sill is very wide, and it is covered with dark brown square wood and two pots of green plants are placed on it.

The balcony is small but has plenty of sunlight. Xu Xingxing put a high chair next to the leftmost window. Occasionally, on weekends, she could sit here in the sun and read a book in the afternoon.

It's warm during the day, but it gets a little cold at night when there is no sunlight.

The sliding window on the window sill was still open to let in the wind. As soon as he went out, Xu Xingxing was shaken and wrapped the small blanket around him tightly.

In order to ensure sufficient sunlight, her clothes drying pole is pulled up very high. Xu Xingxing stood on tiptoe and reached for the towel. Before she could reach it, a hand crossed hers and took the towel down.

Xu Xingxing's throat trembled, and a hand stretched out from her lower abdomen to hug her. Before Xu Xingxing's tiptoe feet were put down, she was carried to the window and supported the window sill with both hands.

The man's hot breath circulated from her neck, and Xu Xingxing's fingers curled slightly.

Huaijing lifted her with one hand and pressed her with the other, and the moment the two touched her body, they both trembled. The woman in her arms was soft and boneless, and there was a faint scent of sweet orange around her neck, which was the smell of her shower gel.

He smelled the sweet scent lingering around her neck, and his lips brushed softly against her cheeks and ears. The man's breath was slightly hot and his voice was hoarse, asking for her consent.

"Can you?"

In the apartment building opposite the window, only a few households were dimly lit.

In this cold world, it seems that there are only the two of them.

Xu Xingxing hung her feet slightly, her eyes lowered, and she responded with a trembling voice.

"Um."

The voice was small and soft, like a trace of electric current touching the bottom of his heart.

Alcohol can drive people crazy.

After the passion, everything was silent, only the sound of wind came from outside the unclosed balcony door.

After two fierce battles, both of them were tired. The man lay on top of the woman and buried his head lightly between her neck.

Xu Xingxing gradually got used to this kind of intimacy afterwards.She pressed her cheek to the man's ear and put her hands in his hair.

Looking at the lights in the living room that had not been turned off, the faint light made Xu Xing's heart soften.

"Aren't you happy today?"

The woman's voice was soft and slightly hoarse.

"Yeah." Huai Jing responded lightly, and he wrapped the woman in his arms with both hands, and kissed her smooth shoulder gently.

"But it's nice to see you now."

Xu Xingxing's heart moved slightly, and his hands hugged him back.
