Ming Ansheng gave an enigmatic smile as he eyed the wineglass in his hand . He remained mum .
Suddenly, he slumped backward and raised his head to glance at Su Yue .
That adorable girl was being passed around by the Yan family like a precious gem .
Envy filled his eyes .
“Look! Ah Heng and Hu Xiaoxiao are here . ”
Suddenly, a person exclaimed as he looked at the door .
Everyone’s attention was successfully diverted . Jiang Zhuoheng wore a plum-red suit, and he looked as refined and charming as always .
The woman beside him wasn’t an exceptional beauty but she had a shapely figure . She looked sharp and shrewd, and she walked with elegance .
They were approaching them .
Someone teased, “Ah Heng, it has been a long time . ”
Jiang Zhuoheng merely smiled, while Hu Xiaoxiao explained, “Our flight just landed that’s why we are late . ”
She turned to Jiang Zhuoheng and whispered, “Should we greet Uncle Yan and his family?”
She sounded like she was asking him for permission .
Jiang Zhuoheng agreed .
They nodded at the group of friends before going to Su Yue’s table .
“Uncle, Aunt . ” Hu Xiaoxiao was very polite and sweet towards her elders . After greeting Mu Li and Yan Weihong, she turned to Yan Weiye . “Uncle Yan . ”
She met them when she was a girl .
“Ah Heng, Xiaoxiao . ” Mu Li rose with a bright smile .
Hu Xiaoxiao put on an apologetic expression and explained, “We just landed . Sorry for being late . ”
“Don’t worry about that . ” Mu Li waved her hands to dismiss her apology . “Do you want to sit here or go to Ansheng’s table?”
“Mommy . ”
Su Xiaojiao scooped some soup to feed Su Yue .
Jiang Zhuoheng heard the little girl and he was startled . He observed Su Xiaojiao’s face closely and he was surprised .
He diverted his attention to Ming Ansheng sitting at another table .
He had noticed this girl sitting on Yan Weihong’s lap earlier on . But he didn’t know that she was Su Yue’s daughter .
Hu Xiaoxiao’s voice rang in his ears . “Ah Heng, where do you want to sit?”
He broke his train of thoughts and withdrew his gaze . “Go back to their table,” said Jiang Zhuoheng .
They were all his childhood friends, of course, he would sit with them .
He bowed politely to Mu Li and Yan Weihong before he turned around .
Hu Xiaoxiao waved cheerily to Mu Li and said, “Uncle, Aunt Mu, we will take our leave now . ”
Mu Li smiled and nodded . “Alright . Have fun . ”
Jiang Zhuoheng walked to Ming Ansheng and stood before him . With his hands deep inside his pockets, he bent to survey Ming Ansheng’s face with a frown .
“Why are you staring at me?” asked Ming Ansheng, who looked utterly bewildered .
Without waiting for Jiang Zhuoheng to respond, he grinned cheekily . “Your Hu Xiaoxiao might get jealous . ”
Hu Xiaoxiao chuckled . “Young Master Ming, if both of you are truly in love, I will give you my blessings . ”
“What a gracious wife . ” Ming Ansheng chuckled loudly before pulling a chair next to him . “Have a drink with me,” said Ming Ansheng to Jiang Zhuoheng .
He turned to Hu Xiaoxiao . “I don’t need you to bless us for a lifetime . But can I borrow Ah Heng for a while?”
Hu Xiaoxiao graciously obliged and walked away .
Jiang Zhuoheng settled down on the chair and Ming Ansheng poured him a glass .
They toasted each other and Ming Ansheng gulped down his wine in one mouthful .
