The spotlight was shone on the entrance, and everyone was looking forward to the prince and princess entering.

But in the end, only Baili Chengfeng, wearing a white suit, appeared in everyone's sight like a prince charming, but his princess was nowhere to be seen.

Baili Huang originally had a confident smile on his face, but now the smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

He clenched his fingers slightly, endured it silently, and waited for Baili Chengfeng to go on stage.

Baili Chengfeng walked calmly, waved and greeted everyone with a smile, with the demeanor of a groom-to-be, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

When he came to the stage, Baili Huang pulled him to his side, lowered his voice, and asked coldly: "Why are you alone? Where is Xiaochu?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa. Xiaochu is a princess, so of course she has to be the last one to appear. We are just her foils, so just wait patiently."

After Baili Chengfeng finished speaking, he took the microphone, faced all the guests in the audience, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please be patient. Our bride-to-be's dress is quite formal, so it will take some time to prepare. All you have to do is wait for the beautiful princess to arrive."

"I see. I was scared to death."

Mrs. Baili finally relaxed a little, bit her chin tightly, and glared at Sheng Mingyuan and his wife in the audience, "I thought Xiaochu was going to betray us and run away with them. If that's the case, our Baili family will lose face!"

"Don't worry, mom. Xiaochu is not such a tactless person. She promised me that if she chose me, she would stay with me forever and would not give up on me, no matter who comes."

Baili Chengfeng recalled the words Chu Zhixin said during the break in rehearsal just now, when she held his hand and looked into his eyes lovingly. He felt extremely touched and at peace, as if he had taken a tranquilizer.

All his insecurities were calmed at that moment, and he felt relieved to leave her alone in the dressing room and went to the banquet hall first.

Because in his opinion, Chu Zhixin was the one he was waiting for, so he would just stand in the happy camera and quietly wait for her to run towards him...

The host of the ceremony began to warm up the place. After saying some sentimental words, he looked at the old clock that was about to reach the hour and excitedly mobilized the emotions of the guests, "Come, let me count down to welcome our bride-to-be. Five, four, three..."

Time passed by in the countdown, and an engagement party turned out to be as suspenseful as a lottery draw, and everyone was on edge.

"Hiss... Do you think Xinxin will show up? Why do I feel so uneasy?"

Bai Jingyue's nerves and muscles were tense, his eyes fixed on the direction of the spotlight, not daring to blink.

"I think……"

Bai Jingxing frowned and sighed worriedly, "She won't come out."

"what?"

Bai Jingyue turned his head suddenly and asked Bai Jingxing excitedly: "How do you know? Do you have any inside information? Have you discussed it with Xinxin?"

"No."

Bai Jingxing said in a heavy voice: "But I have a feeling that things won't go so smoothly. The Sheng family won't let Chu Laoda marry their mortal enemy so easily. I reasonably suspect that Uncle Sheng and Aunt Su made such an ugly scene just now just to delay time!"

"Delaying for time?"

Bai Jingyue became even more excited and continued to ask, "What time do you want to delay? Can delaying it change anything?"

"Of course it's to buy time for Sheng Tingye."

Bai Jingxing said with a firm look in his eyes: "The Baili family is heavily guarded, and Baili Huang has military power in his hands. If the Sheng family takes people away like this, the two families will definitely start fighting directly, and the situation will be very ugly. But if they use some tricks, the Sheng family can take Boss Chu away without any soldiers. Why don't they use it?"

"You mean, Uncle Sheng and his people were fighting with Baili Chengfeng's parents just now, deliberately drawing the focus to them, and then giving Sheng Tingye the opportunity to secretly take Xinxin away?"

"It's very possible."

Bai Jingxing nodded, otherwise he couldn't figure out why the respectable couple Sheng Mingyuan and his wife were willing to do such a disgraceful thing in front of so many wealthy clans.

After all, if the scene just now were to spread out, the Sheng family, as the leader of the eight major families in Haicheng, would be laughed at for at least three months, if not half a year!

There is really no need to sacrifice so much unless it is for their son's lifelong happiness.

"If that's the case, the Sheng family is too cunning, right?"

Bai Jingyue shrugged, feeling surprised and amused. "But if that's the case, Sheng Tingye isn't that bad. At most, he's a moderate coward, not a big coward. I hope he and Xinxin can continue their relationship."

"It's like that, and you still hope that they can rekindle their relationship? Are you Chu Laoda's best friend?"

Bai Jingxing glanced at Bai Jingyue and felt that his sister's bottom line was too low.

Can all the hurts be forgiven?

"You do not understand."

Bai Jingyue waved his hands and sighed, "You have seen Xinxin's happiest look, so you know whether she is really happy now?"

"No matter how unreliable and cowardly Sheng Tingye is, Xinxin still likes him. Only when she is with him, the smile on her face is a smile from the bottom of her heart."

"I won't hide it from you. Since they broke up, I haven't seen Xinxin smile again. Even if she smiles, it's just a fake smile. Her smile is full of bitterness. I don't want her to be like that for the rest of her life."

Everyone knows that Sheng Tingye is a trap, but when it comes to love, there is no room for rationality.

A monkey, a Shuanfa, and Xinxin just fall for Sheng Tingye's tricks. What can they do? They can only give their best wishes!

Perhaps, this is what is called fate. If you owe him a debt, you have to repay him, and no one else can replace you.

"What you said makes sense. When it comes to relationships, it's true that those involved are confused and no one can help."

When Bai Jingxing said this, the figure of Bian Qiu somehow appeared in his mind.

Maybe, in this life, he is also a calamity for Bian Qiu. He doesn't know how Bian Qiu has adapted to the situation now. He often has the urge to go back and see her...

"Forget it. No matter who Boss Chu chooses, it's her choice. I support her unconditionally!"

Bai Jingxing suddenly figured it out and no longer insisted on intervening.

"Three, two, one!"

After the host read out the countdown, everyone's heart was in their throat and they stared at the entrance intently.

However, there was indeed no one there, and the First Heart...did not appear!!
