Chapter 161: Participating in the Banquet

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Qing leaned against Qiao Yanhui’s chest weakly as they panted. The atmosphere was erotic. Although Qiao Yanhui’s desire was already burning, he had been holding it in, so the two of them hadn’t taken things to the next level yet.

Of course, Qiao Yanhui wanted to have sex with her, but Xu Qing wanted to wait until he regained all his memories… This made Qiao Yanhui even more anxious to regain his memories quickly. Otherwise, he was really worried that his virility would be affected if this delay continued!

Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Qing and said in a low voice, “Tonight, our family will attend a banquet.”

Xu Qing gazed into Qiao Yanhui’s deep eyes as she said, “Could it be your blind date banquet?”

Qiao Yanhui’s eyes flickered. “Are you jealous?”

Xu Qing looked aloof and prideful as she said, “Who’s jealous?!”

Qiao Yanhui gazed at Xu Qing deeply. He was thinking about tonight’s banquet. Initially, he didn’t want to attend, but he wanted Xu Qing to appear in front of everyone and to announce her identity! This banquet was the best opportunity because this banquet was a “matchmaking banquet” held by the royal family.

Almost everyone in the capital was on the invitation list. Although it was a blind date, it was actually just a formality. In order to maintain and balance power, a marriage alliance was necessary for these powerful people.

Therefore, there would be a lot of people coming today. He had never brought any woman with him, so as long as he brought Xu Qing today, everything would be self-evident.

Xu Qing knew that tonight’s banquet was of great significance, so she naturally took it seriously. At the very least, she couldn’t seem diffident or unconfident!

Xu Qing didn’t know if it was because she had been too forceful, but Qiao Yanhui was stunned. However, Xu Qing seriously suspected that Qiao Yanhui was inexperienced.

Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing came out hand in hand.

Xun Fen and the others had already played a few rounds of cards outside because they thought it would take a long time. But now… Xun Fen and Teng Nian raised their eyebrows in surprise. Did these two people “finish the deed” so quickly? Within an hour?

Xu Qing glared at Xun Fen and Teng Nian because they were being too obvious. Then, Xu Qing quickly got into the car and Qiao Yanhui followed her.

Xu Qing ignored Qiao Yanhui. It was all because of this man that she had suffered humiliation.

“Mom, where are my siblings?” Xu Hanxue looked at Xu Qing’s stomach curiously and reached out to touch Xu Qing’s stomach innocently.

Xu Qing’s expression froze. Xun Fen and Teng Nian must have said this to her. At this moment, Qiao Yanhui said gently, “It will be a while before you can see your younger siblings. They still need more time to mature!”

“That’s great. I will have a younger brother and sister. I won’t be the youngest one in the family anymore.” Xu Hanxue clapped happily.

Upon seeing how excited Xu Hanxue was, Xu Qing couldn’t bear to expose the truth to her. She could only glare at Qiao Yanhui.

At this moment, the banquet had already begun in the palace. Only Qiao Yanhui hadn’t arrived yet.

Under normal circumstances, if it were anyone else, they would have been terrified. However, Xu Qing was very calm as she entered the venue with Qiao Yanhui. The three children also had calm expressions and weren’t amazed by the extravagance of the palace at all. They were obedient and quiet.

Everyone couldn’t help but marvel. As expected of the War God’s children. Despite their young age, they were mature beyond their years.

Of course, some people marveled in awe, while others were jealous and envious.

This family had a handsome guy, a beautiful woman, and three adorable children! They made people’s eyes light up.

The emperor sitting in the middle of the main hall was over fifty years old and his hair was already white. As he stared at the family of five, his emotions were indiscernible. The empress beside him looked very cold and aloof.

But there was one thing that this couple didn’t hide, and that was their undisguised disgust! They seemed to be looking at another person through Qiao Yanhui’s face.

Qiao Yanhui sneered to himself. So what if they hated him? Their opinion was no longer important to him!

Qiao Yanhui said indifferently, “Greetings, Emperor.”

The emperor’s expression instantly turned terrifyingly cold. This unfilial son actually dared to embarrass him on such a public occasion!

“Take a seat,” the emperor said coldly. His tone of voice was as unpleasant as Qiao Yanhui’s.

No one in the hall dared to speak. Why did they have to suffer this every time?

The father and son were obviously estranged, but Xu Qing didn’t ask. She brought the three children to sit beside Qiao Yanhui.

All the women present were overcome with jealousy. If dirty looks were like knives, Xu Qing would have died many times already. After all, even the servants present had higher statuses than Xu Qing, a countryside woman. So why was she with Qiao Yanhui? It had to be known that even without Qiao Yanhui’s prestigious identity, just his handsome looks alone were enough to make many women fall head over heels for him!
