When Xiao Hansheng heard Manli's voice, he turned his head slightly and nodded towards her as a greeting.

Manli didn't seem surprised by Xiao Hansheng's indifference, she just smiled and turned her gaze to Qiao Xi who was at the side.

"Qiao Xi, this is your first visit to Xiao's house." Manli opened her lips lightly, and said to Qiao Xi who was in front of her, "If you feel uncomfortable, just speak up, after all, Han Sheng may be busy later. .”

Manli's words were very gentle, as if she cared about Qiao Xi, but she directly placed herself in the position of one of her own invisibly.

It was as if she was a member of the Xiao family, while Qiao Xi was just an outsider.

Listening to Manli's words, Qiao Xi's eyes flickered, but she didn't pay much attention.

After all, from his point of view, Man Li seemed to be a child who grew up with Xiao Hansheng, or in other words, it was a further affection, and she was just an accident that happened halfway.

Although she is not a temperament that everyone can control, but at the same time, she has no habit of stealing love.

Smiling towards Manli in front of her, Qiao Xi smiled politely on her delicate face, "Okay, then I'll trouble you..."

Before Qiao Xi could finish speaking, Xiao Hansheng interrupted her words coldly: "My people don't need others to take them."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Hansheng just glanced at Manli indifferently, and then led Qiao Xi directly towards the crowd beside him.

Qiao Xi was also slightly taken aback when he heard Xiao Hansheng's words, and looked at the man beside him with some puzzled eyes. When his eyes touched the man's angular and handsome face, Qiao Xi still blushed slightly unconsciously.

Suddenly withdrawing her gaze, Qiao Xi patted her face, dispelling all the emotions in her heart.

Everyone has a love of beauty, and she doesn't have any extra thoughts!
Secretly reminding herself in her heart, Qiao Xi took a deep breath, her delicate face had returned to its original calm, and her clear eyes were filled with indifference, like a calm lake, too quiet.

As for Xiao Hansheng's actions just now, Qiao Xi simply attributed it to Xiao Hansheng because he didn't want to embarrass him on such an important occasion.

Thinking about it, Qiao Xi's emotions also stabilized.

Xiao Hansheng led Qiao Xi to a group of old people, nodded respectfully to the old people in front of him, and said, "Senior."

"En." An Renliang sat in the middle of the seat, looked at Xiao Hansheng who was coming, and just responded lightly, without hiding his dissatisfaction on his face.

An Renliang didn't speak, but another old man at the side looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Han Sheng, is this your wife?"

"Yes." Xiao Hansheng nodded towards the old man who spoke, although his face was still indifferent, but the respect in his tone could be clearly felt, "She is Qiao Xi, the current executor of Qiao's .”

Hearing the introduction later, several people paused slightly, and there was a trace of strangeness in their eyes, but it was only for a moment, and it was completely hidden.

An Renliang on the side looked at the old people who were still smiling hypocritically, snorted directly, and sarcastically said to Xiao Hansheng: "You old people, don't praise this brat, it's been so long, you see Senior doesn't know how to call out properly."

As he said that, An Renliang's gaze followed Qiao Xi who was at the side. Although there was a trace of scrutiny and inquiry in his gaze, Qiao Xi knew very well that this gaze was not malicious.

Sensing the gazes of the old people in front of her, Qiao Xi didn't mind. Instead, she stood in the middle generously and smiled slightly. Accompanied by this smile on her delicate little face, it was even more dazzling.

An Renliang looked at Qiao Xi, and Qiao Xi also looked at An Renliang. Their eyes met, feeling the pressure in An Renliang's eyes. There was no trace of dodge or hesitation in Qiao Xi's gaze. From the beginning to the end, there was a faint smile. Calm too much.

In the end, it was An Renliang who smiled and looked away, the exploration in his eyes dissipated a lot, and he became more satisfied: "You girl is bold and open-minded, there are not many juniors who dare to look at me like this .”

While talking, An Renliang also looked at Xiao Hansheng who was on the side, and his face was still smiling just now, but it turned dark, looking like he didn't want to see Xiao Hansheng, "Such a good girl, it's really cheap for you gone."

Listening to An Renliang's words, Xiao Hansheng just slightly raised his eyes, unable to deny it.

Qiao Xi listened to the words of the two, and her originally tense nerves also unconsciously relaxed a lot.

"Xiao Xi, you don't have to be cautious here, just feel like you're at your own home. Even if something happens, you'll have this brat to take care of you." An Renliang gave Xiao Hansheng a gouged look as he spoke.

Regarding An Renliang's attitude towards Xiao Hansheng, Qiao Xi just smiled slightly and couldn't deny it.

The two are obviously not really at odds, Qiao Xi can see the relationship between the two, in fact, compared to other people, it should be the deepest.

However, from the very beginning, she didn't intend to rely too much on Xiao Hansheng for anything. Although the two are married now, they just get what they want. She has already got what she needs, and she doesn't bother Xiao Hansheng any more. necessary.

Thinking about it, Qiao Xi smiled slightly at An Renliang, and said, "Grandpa An, don't worry, I still have the ability to protect myself."

As she said that, Qiao Xi glanced at Xiao Hansheng at the side and then looked away. There was no extra emotion in her clear eyes.

Xiao Hansheng looked at Qiao Xi's gaze, and his thin lips were tightly pursed into a line.

At least from now on, he still has a long way to go if he wants Qiao Xi to completely rely on him.

An Renliang listened to Qiao Xi's words, and also noticed the emotion in Qiao Xi's eyes.

His eyes turned back and forth between Xiao Hansheng and Qiao Xi. An Renliang seemed to have suddenly discovered some new continent. A trace of clarity flashed across his vicissitudes of life, and there was more in the eyes looking at Xiao Hansheng. The smile is very meaningful, or it is...with pride.

When Xiao Hansheng's gaze fell on An Renliang, he naturally sensed the other party's intentions. His black eyes just glanced at him lightly, with meanings that only each other could see.

Qiao Xi stood aside, watching the "eyebrows" between the two of them, and realized that her existence might have some influence.

Slightly stepping aside for a safe distance, Qiao Xi smiled politely at An Renliang in front of him, and said, "Grandpa An, you guys talk first, I won't bother you if I see someone I know."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Xi smiled slightly at Xiao Hansheng beside him, and left directly with the wine glass in his hand.

Xiao Hansheng looked at Qiao Xi's leaving back, his thin lips pursed a little tighter.

His fingers moved slightly, but he finally took back all his movements. If he really restricted Qiao Xi from his side, the result would be just the opposite.

An Renliang looked at Xiao Hansheng who had a gloomy expression in front of him, and looked at Qiao Xi who had already left, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Hansheng, let me tell you why you got him settled so quickly. People who are emotional still don't like you." The more An Renliang said, the expression on his face became more and more smug, as if he was out of love. Like a bad breath.

Xiao Hansheng looked at the man in front of him who no longer had any scruples and laughed at him directly. Instead, his gloomy face raised a subtle arc. He just looked at An Renliang lightly, and then said word by word: "An Renliang, I want to see you at the border. Maybe we can reschedule."

Listening to Xiao Hansheng's words, the smile on An Renliang's face froze directly, and he couldn't stop smiling for a while.

Xiao Hansheng looked at the complex expression on An Renliang's face, his eyes raised slightly, and his mood improved a lot.

"Okay, let's get to the point, let's talk about the recent border issue." An old man on the side looked at the two and interrupted their stalemate, "Although the current progress is in a stable state, we are also I found a hidden danger, and this hidden danger seems to come from your Xiao family."

As he spoke, the old man paused for a moment, with a trace of sternness and seriousness in his old eyes, "The Xiao family in the past."

The old man's voice was faint, but it was an invisible explanation. This matter had nothing to do with Xiao Hansheng. After all, Xiao Hansheng represented the current Xiao family.

The Xiao family in the past represented a piece of blackness, the dark side of society, and now the Xiao family, which is being cleaned up, is responsible for Xiao Hansheng. There are always fish that slip through the net.

Xiao Hansheng listened to the old man's words, his dark eyes flickered slightly, then he gently lifted the wine glass in his hand to his lips and took a sip, with a dangerous light in his eyes, "I know."

After Qiao Xi left Xiao Hansheng's side, she directly found a quiet corner.

After all, this place is the Xiao family's banquet, and most of the people on the opposite side are unfamiliar to her, and the rest of her business partners, in this place, also makes her have no desire to talk.

Holding the goblet in his hand, Qiao Xi casually shook it a few times. The vermilion liquid exuded a coquettish light under the light, coupled with Qiao Xi's slender and white fingers, it gave people an even more visual impact.

Although he was already standing in the corner, Qiao Xi's existence still attracted the attention of many people, and many people even turned their gazes to Qiao Xi with inquiry.

After all, everyone is very clear about Xiao Hansheng's marriage, but everyone is not familiar with Qiao Xi.

Putting the glass gently to her lips, Qiao Xi took a sip, and before she put the glass aside, Man Li walked towards her at some point, followed by a few girls Son, all of them are gorgeously dressed, they don't seem to be here to attend a banquet, but more like they are here to compare their beauty.

Looking at the person in front of him, Qiao Xi put away the emotion in his eyes, and slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Qiao Xi? Are you alone?" Manli looked at Qiao Xi and glanced around her, "I thought Han Sheng would accompany you. He's usually a little bit cold, but usually he's relatively cold. Gentleman, I didn't expect him to leave you here so soon."
