Sweet Beloved Reborn

After a round of conversations at the banquet, Xu Ningzhou, who knew his cousin very well, quickly found her and Song Qinghuan who were playing in the garden of Xiang family.

He walked towards them with his shoes stepping on the cobblestone path and making a rhythmic treading sound. Then he saw Song Qinghuan and Shen Yinian, both dressed in formal suits, swung in tandem, with their skirts fluttering in the air under the light of the street lamp. Unwilling to disturb the two girls in such a pleasant scene, Xu Ningzhou came behind them and glimpsed the empty goblet beside Song Qinghuan’s feet. He leaned over and sniffed, “Did you drink?”

“Yeah, just a glass of wine”, Song Qinghuan smiled and nodded.

Xu Ningzhou did not hide his footsteps when approaching them, for fear of scaring them suddenly, but intentionally made obvious footsteps to attract their attention. Therefore, Song Qinghuan and Shen Yinian found him so as soon as he appeared.

At the moment, Shen Yinian got a rare opportunity to be treated as a little princess, so she shouted, “Hi Brother, come on to push me, up high.”

Xu Ningzhou put his palm on Song Qinghuan’s back instead and pushed her up while controlling his strength. Then he sneered at Shen Yinian, “No, I will not. You are too fat for me.”

“Shut up. I’m even less than 50 kg!” Shen Yinian immediately blew up.

Song Qinghuan turned her head and looked at the man behind her, who licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, showing a glimmer of a smile on his face. Xu Ningzhou took a step back, stood in the middle of the two swings, with two feet apart slightly, and then pushed two girls out at the same time with two hands.

“That’s what I want!” Shen Yinian immediately beamed.

As Song Qinghuan thought that should be the normal way for the brother and sister to get along with each other, she raised her head and looked at the stars overhead. In her previous life, she also treated Song Mingxiu like this, taking him as her brother and her only support in the Song family.

But in the end, he looked at her with ruthlessness and disgust. When she asked for his help by hugging him, he shoved her away, shattered all her hope, closed the door and pushed her into the abyss of despair.

“All right, let’s stop playing. I’ll take you to meet some friends.”

Xu Ningzhou grabbed the ropes of the two swings and gave a very gentlemanly salute, “This way, please, princesses.”

Xu Ningzhou brought Song Qinghuan and Shen Yinian to the small group, introducing some of his buddies to Song Qinghuan.

Song Qinghuan had already known Xiang Yan, the young master of the Xiang family, also the host of today’s banquet, and even had got two chances to work with him.

As for Shen Yinian’s fiance, Han Shuo, they met for the first time at the sports club. So it was the second time for Song Qinghuan to see him. He was a quiet man with sharp and indifferent eyes, as if he looked down upon all the others. But he was very polite to the friends in the small group.

Then there was the youngest baby-faced man, Yu Fei, 17 years old, still a minor.

“I’m Zhou Lin”, that playboy raised his glass.

“There are still several guys not here. Maybe you could see them next time.” Xu Ningzhou had a pair of charming eyes twinkling as stars when he laughed, and he just looked like a warm elder brother living by your house. However, everyone knew he was a friendly-looking tough guy, who could tear a tiger-like enemy into pieces when getting fierce. He was certainly not easy to deal with.

“Song Qinghuan.”

What Song Qinghuan said most tonight was her name. She smiled and took two glasses of champagne from the tray, handed over one to Xu Ningzhou who was empty-handed, and raised the other to clink glasses with Zhou Lin. All her movements were so natural that others could not see that she was on such an occasion for the first time.

Yu Fei had nothing in his hand. He grabbed Xiang Yan’s glass and immediately joined in, saying in a loud voice, “First love, I want a clink too.”

Xiang Yan was captivated by Song Qinghuan tonight, especially by her fair oval face, slender figure and graceful smile. Feeling thirsty with such a feeling, he snatched back the glass from Yu Fei’s hand and gulped it down. Under Yu Fei’s discontented gaze, he tried to find an excuse, “Minors, no drink!”

“WTF! Will you all show a little humanity?” Yu Fei, who had been frustrated for the second time tonight, raised his middle finger directly at Xiang Yan.

Xu Ningzhou smiled and squinted at Yu Fei, “First love?”

“Well?” With a dry cough, Yu Fei looked away guiltily under Xu Ningzhou’s gaze, “That’s just a joking address term about her on the Internet. Don’t get me wrong, don’t get me wrong.” Mom, help! How terrible Brother Xu’s eyes looked!

Song Qinghuan kept her smile on the face, though she was already sick and tired of the way of calling her, ‘Can they just stop talking about first love tonight?’

Xu Ningzhou chuckled and patted Yu Fei’s little head, as if he was picking watermelons to judge whether they were ripe or not.

“Where is Mingyang?” Xu Ningzhou found one missing.

“He was here just now.”

Zhou Lin answered. Xiang Yan was a bit absent-minded, while Yu Fei was covering his head to prevent himself from being taken as a melon for the second time.

On the other side of the venue, Xiao Mingyang found Song Mingxiu’s look slightly changed as he looked in Xu Ningzhou’s direction, and then walked towards him with a smile.

“The Young Master of the Song family, aren’t you?” Xiao Mingyang greeted the man in front of him with mirth and suddenly said, “I really have a bad memory after drinking. Now I should call you President Song.”

Xiao Mingyang raised his glass and said with feigned gentleness, “President Song.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“President Xiao.” Song Mingxiu also raised his glass, and the two goblets clinked with each other.

Xiao Mingyang, standing by Song Mingxiu, looked at Xu Ningzhou’s back and said, “You came with Ningzhou, then why didn’t you go to join them?”

Song Mingxiu didn’t answer, and just took a sip of the red wine in the glass.

At the moment, a young lady in a white fishtail dress came up. She naturally took Song Mingxiu’s arm and waved her glass toward Xiao Mingyang, “Mingyang”.

“Lina.” Xiao Mingyang’s eyes rested on their arms held together, and he raised his eyebrows. “An introduction, will you?”

“Song Mingxiu, my boyfriend,” Xu Lina’s flaming red lips curved and her eyes fixed on Song Mingxiu were filled with love.

“Congratulations.” Xiao Mingyang clinked glasses with both of them again before leaving, but his smile turned sarcastic after he turned around.

Originally, Xiao Mingyang was very interested in Kaiyue. But before he could start, someone got it in advance. At first, he thought it must be Xu Ningzhou who was helping the Song family because of Song Qinghuan, but later he found out that the Xu family was involved.

As he inferred, it was also because of Xu Lina that the Song family was able to get Xiang Yan’s invitation to the banquet tonight.

The Song family wanted to enter the circle of Wan’ning City with the help of the Xu family, and they were ambitious. Unfortunately, Xu Lina was not a dumb blonde.

He just could not wait to see the day when the Song family was taken over by that woman completely just like a piece of meat was swallowed by a monster.

Holding Song Mingxiu’s arm, Xu Lina raised her chin toward the position where Xu Ningzhou and Song Qinghuan were standing, and said with a charming smile on her face, “Let’s go to join them.”
