Chapter 29 Banquet 1

1205 Words
Quietly stepping back a few steps, Dongqing opened up the distance between her and Mosen. She didn't want to become the center of attention, so she was about to run away when Mosen suddenly grabbed her hand and led her into the center of the banquet.Standing by Mosen's side, Dongqing dared not even breathe. Countless eyes were fixed on her, and she nervously stayed close to Mosen.Feeling Mosen let go of her hand, Dongqing immediately stepped to the side, keeping a considerable distance between them.With nothing else to do, she continued to admire everything around her to pass the time. As someone who had never attended a banquet before, everything here was fascinating to her and she carefully observed it all. As she leisurely watched, doubts began to rise in her mind. Why did Mosen invite her to this banquet?Lost in thought, she no longer had the mood to admire and found a quiet spot to stand and contemplate.She looked up to find Mosen's figure, hoping to find answers from him. Mosen was currently chatting with two men and a woman, frequently clinking glasses and seeming to have a good time. However, since Mosen had his back to her, Dongqing couldn't see his expression. After watching for a while, Dongqing couldn't see anything. She scanned the entire banquet and noticed that Zheng Feng was intentionally or unintentionally looking in her direction. Tonight, Zheng Feng gave Dongqing a strange feeling, but she couldn't explain why. Zheng Feng also saw Dongqing looking at him, smiled at her, and then turned to toast with others.Dongqing smiled at him and was about to go find something to eat when two people suddenly appeared in front of her. The two elegantly dressed ladies arrogantly said to her, "Bring us two glasses of wine."Dongqing immediately knew that these two were looking for trouble. She didn't believe that they didn't see her when she entered with Mosen earlier. After hesitating for a moment, Dongqing still reached out and took the empty glasses from their hands. She didn't want to provoke these kind of women.From the hidden expressions in their eyes, Dongqing understood that these two women must be here because of Mosen. She smiled bitterly and was about to turn around to get the wine when a clear male voice sounded, "Ladies, could you please take a few steps forward? The wine table is right in front, or you can call a waiter, okay?"Although his tone was polite, it didn't allow for any refusal.The two women seemed to be afraid of the man speaking and smiled at him before taking the glasses from Dongqing's hand and giving her a fierce glare before leaving.Dongqing turned her head and saw Mingxuan squinting at her.She was very surprised. The phrase "absence makes the heart grow fonder" was perfectly suited for Mingxuan. His white suit made him look elegant and charming, and his handsome face was like a prince charming in the eyes of all young girls.Before Mingxuan could speak, Dongqing asked, "Is your injury okay?" Ming Xuan smiled and asked back, "What do you think?"Opening her eyes wide, Dong Qing spun around Ming Xuan twice and deliberately smacked her lips, "Very good, very good, not bad."After saying that, both Dong Qing and Ming Xuan couldn't help but laugh.After laughing, Dong Qing looked behind Ming Xuan, "Where are Li Qing and Mi Er?""I don't know, we just separated." Taking a sip of wine, Ming Xuan continued to smile.Dong Qing felt guilty under his smile and didn't know what to say next."What is your relationship with Mo Sen?" Ming Xuan glanced at Mo Sen in the distance.Feeling shocked, Dong Qing stammered, "I, I don't have any relationship with him, I just know him a little bit, he, he, he, he..."Dong Qing couldn't continue to make up lies, because it didn't match with what she said before and her palms were sweaty.Tonight, Ming Xuan was mysterious and unpredictable. "Dong Qing." Mier's voice sounded in my ear. "Ming Xuan, no wonder Qing and I couldn't find you, you were chatting with Dong Qing."Li Qing and Mier appeared at the right time, smiling at Dong Qing. Mier scolded Ming Xuan, "Ming Xuan, you didn't tell us that Dong Qing was here."Ming Xuan looked deeply at Dong Qing, raised his glass and nodded with a smile at Li Qing and Mier.They all understood each other and finished their drinks.Dong Qing stood awkwardly in the middle, not knowing whether to leave or stay, smiling politely.Ming Xuan didn't ask her about her relationship with Mo Sen, probably because Li Qing and Mier were present. He just squinted and looked at Dong Qing from time to time.Dong Qing pretended not to notice and chatted with Mier seriously.Mier looked her up and down and joked, "Dong Qing, are you here for the banquet or just passing by?" Her eyes were filled with deep suspicion.Dong Qing looked down at her outfit and couldn't help but laugh. Looking around, all the female guests at the banquet were dressed elegantly and beautifully. And here she was, wearing jeans and a sky blue shirt, completely out of place with the style of the banquet.She cursed in her heart: Damn Mo Sen, he didn't even tell her that she should wear a dress for the banquet. "East Qing smiled indifferently, "I'm not used to wearing formal attire, and I'm not suitable for it either."Mi'er glanced at Mingxuan, "If there's a chance in the future, East Qing, would you like me to design an outfit for you to wear to a banquet?"Out of politeness, East Qing replied, "Thank you." She couldn't possibly attend this Laoshizi's banquet again. She hoped that this would be the first and last time in her life attending such an event. After leaving Mosun, let everything become a memory."What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."Mingxuan was staring at her, a faint smile on his lips."Nothing."The four of them stood there, occasionally exchanging a few words. East Qing couldn't help but feel that Mingxuan and Li Qing were paying close attention to Mosun's every move, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Not only that, she also felt a pair of eyes watching her every move from the shadows. This lively banquet made her feel complicated, with hidden undercurrents. Everyone's faces remained calm, exchanging pleasantries without revealing their true intentions. Especially Mosun, Mingxuan, and Li Qing, it seemed like they were competing with each other in secret.Is this what they call high society?East Qing couldn't help but wonder, why did Mosun bring her to this banquet but not pay any attention to her? Letting her chat with others freely. What exactly is Mosun's hidden agenda?Nodding and shaking her head, East Qing couldn't figure out the reason behind it. "Brother, Dad is calling you over. It's starting soon.Looking at the beautiful and charming woman in front of him, Dong Qing felt a sense of familiarity. She calls him Brother Ming Xuan, so she must be Ming Xuan's sister, maybe Ming Yu. Her name matches her appearance, both beautiful.The girl next to Ming Yu must be Ming Xuan's other sister, Ming Huan. With her big watery eyes, she is loved by everyone. At this moment, she is blinking at Dong Qing."
