Xi Shaoqi rolled his eyes and then warned, "You sure talk a lot."
Over the years, every time it was his birthday, that woman was either abroad or in the air. This year, she finally agreed to come, so of course, everyone had to wait for her to cut the cake together.
At the same time, everyone's curiosity reached a peak. Which young lady could possibly have the honorable Third Young Master Xi waiting for her, without even a hint of anger on his face?
Among these people, naturally, there were some unhappy women. For example, the little princess of the Huo Family, Huo Bingxuan, was a prime example. Tonight, she stuck close to Lin Mubai's side.
To outsiders, she seemed like Lin Mubai's companion, but only she knew she hadn't even touched Lin Mubai's sleeve. Every time she tried to get closer, this man would subtly move away.
What bothered her more was the fact that he personally said he had a girlfriend.
As a result, she was full of anger, and now Xi Shaoqi, because of that not-pretty woman from last time, made everyone wait. Her inner fury grew, and she couldn't help but mutter softly, "What a diva, keeping everyone waiting."
Though her voice wasn't loud, everyone around heard it clearly, including the birthday star of the evening, Third Young Master Xi.
A cold glance came her way, and Huo Bingxuan instinctively shrank back, feeling even more unwilling in her heart but not daring to make another scene. She secretly vowed that the ugly woman must never fall into her hands, or she wouldn't let her off.
After a slight jog, An Nan clearly felt her back was soaked with sweat. Not caring about the curious looks from those around her, she jogged up the stairs to the address Xi Shaoqi had sent her. Standing at the entrance of the white jade-adorned banquet hall, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her panting before resolutely pushing open the big door in front of her.
Seeing the scene inside the banquet hall, she was dumbfounded, with her first reaction being that she had entered the wrong place.
She was momentarily stunned, then gave everyone an apologetic smile, indicating she was in the wrong place, and then decisively turned to leave, pulling out her phone to call someone as she walked.
Her phone hadn't yet connected before a voice from behind stopped her in her tracks.
"An Nan."
The familiar voice made An Nan turn around in confusion, and when she saw the figure jogging toward her, she instantly felt like cursing, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
That damn bastard, hadn't he told her it was just a small birthday gathering? Why were there so many people, with men in suits and women in glamorous dresses? She was the only one out of place in her work uniform.
Angry, An Nan's face was expressionless, casting an unnaturally cold aura, with a vaguely intimidating presence emanating from her.
She stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, glaring at the bastard who had reached her, in stark contrast to his joy. An Nan felt nothing but anger.
Xi Shaoqi could tell from her expression that she was mad, and immediately didn't dare to act too recklessly. Still, he couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes: "An Nan, that uniform looks so sharp on you."
Even though they've known each other for years and he's aware of her job, this was a rare sight for him to see An Nan in uniform. It was somewhat heroic and dashing, completely different from the usual impression she gave off.
