you are my joy

Chapter 1418 The Eve of the Engagement Banquet (1)

After lunch, the Lu family began to prepare for the engagement banquet tonight.

Hearing that Lu Yuting was going to the company, Fang Yixuan's expression changed immediately, and she slapped the chopsticks on the bowl.

"What time is it? It won't matter if the company lacks you for an afternoon! You can stay at home this afternoon and prepare for the engagement banquet tonight!"

Lu Yuting calmly picked up the tissue, wiped the corners of his mouth unhurriedly, and then opened his mouth slowly.

"There are a lot of things going on in the company recently. I have to go there in the afternoon, but I will be back soon, so I won't delay the engagement banquet tonight."

Lu Yuxiao looked at Fang Yixuan, who had a displeased face, and then at Lu Yuting, who was expressionless, grabbed a peanut and threw it into his mouth.

In fact, he was also very curious about what his brother was up to recently.

Recently, Lu's International hasn't won any new projects, so it's unlikely that his brother will go to the company on the day of the engagement banquet.

But he heard that the headquarters has been meeting every day recently, and the heads of various departments are miserable.

He had secretly asked Wen Zheng what his brother was up to lately, but the boy's mouth seemed to be glued with 502 glue, and he didn't reveal a word, which made him even more confused.

I don't know what happened to make it so mysterious.

With a sullen face, Fang Yixuan scolded in a cold voice:
"No! Even if the sky falls today, you have to stay at home!"

Ning Yuxi put down the chopsticks in her hand and spoke softly.

"Mom, just let him go. He has arranged all the matters of the engagement banquet. He is free at home, as long as he doesn't delay the engagement banquet tonight."

Hearing this, Lu Yuting curled his lips, stood up and kissed Ning Yuxi's forehead, and gently rubbed the back of her head with his hand through the hair.

"I'll come back after I've dealt with everything, wait for me, huh?"

Ning Yuxi looked up at him, a smile appeared on her pretty face.

"it is good."

"gone."

Lu Yuting glanced at the other people on the table, the tenderness in his eyes disappeared, he said two words lightly, and strode away from the restaurant.

Seeing Lu Yuting's figure disappear at the door of the restaurant, Fang Yixuan withdrew her gaze and gave Ning Yuxi a reproachful look.

"You girl, don't even look at what day it is today. How can anyone still stay in the company on the day of the engagement banquet? Do you think today's engagement banquet is a play?"

Ning Yuxi smiled and explained:
"He still has to go to the company at this time. It must be because there are very important things. Ting is not a person who doesn't care about priorities."

That man had never been the one to dump her for work, unless it was a very important job.

If you have to go to the company on a day like today, it means that the company has really important things to do.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Fang Yixuan didn't know whether to be angry or grateful.

"Only you can be so magnanimous on such a day!"

Which woman can bear her man who is still working hard on the day of the engagement banquet, even she may not be able to bear it.

Apart from Ning Yuxi, I am afraid that there is no other person who is so considerate.

Ning Yuxi smiled faintly, forked a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth, the sweet cream melted in her mouth, leaving a hint of sweetness.

Throughout the afternoon, Ning Yuxi was busy with makeup and styling, and Ning Yu'an and Jian Ximan were chatting with her beside her. A few hours passed in a flash.

At 04:30, Ning Yuxi had already finished her styling and was waiting in the living room, while everyone in the Lu family was ready to leave for the hotel.

Fang Yixuan glanced at the time, with displeasure and anxiety faintly appearing between her brows.

"Why hasn't this stinky boy come back? Didn't he say that he will come back after finishing the matter? The engagement banquet will start at six o'clock. Is it possible that he wants to go directly to the hotel?"

Ning Yuxi lowered her eyes and glanced at her phone. All afternoon, she didn't receive any message from Lu Yuting except the blessing text messages from outsiders.

Looking at the time on the phone screen, the eyebrows moved slightly, and he clicked on WeChat and sent a message to Lu Yuting.

Without waiting for the man to reply, she put away her phone and looked at Fang Yixuan.

"Mom, we don't have to wait for him. I sent him a WeChat message and asked him to go directly to the hotel to change clothes. This will save a lot of time on the road."

Fang Yixuan thought for a moment, frowned and nodded, "That's the only way to go."

……

One hour before six o'clock, the entrance of Huang Ting Hotel was already surrounded by media reporters.

Several cars from the Lu family entered the hotel from the underground parking lot. Della, Qiao Zhiqin and Jiang Mengyun were already waiting in the lounge.

Seeing Ning Yuxi, Della walked forward with a bright smile, and handed out the box that she had been holding all along.

"Happy birthday, Mr. Ning! I keep my word. I said I will leave it to you tonight, so I will leave it to you tonight."

Ning Yuxi reached out to take it, Qiao Zhiqin also prepared a gift, and put it in her hand.

"Mr. Ning, happy birthday!"

"Sister-in-law, this is my wish, don't dislike it."

Jiang Mengyun also handed her the gift in her hand, and Ning Yuxi hugged the gift in her arms and nodded to thank them.

"Thank you."

Seeing that she was not in good spirits, the smile on Della's lips faded.

"What's the matter? You're about to get engaged, why do you look so ugly?"

"It's okay." Ning Yuxi shook her head, with a forced smile, "It's probably because of motion sickness just now."

Della frowned and murmured:
"I didn't suffer from motion sickness before, why did I suddenly get motion sickness today? Sit down for a while, and I'll pour you a glass of water."

She said, turned and left the lounge.

"Mr. Ning, sit here and rest for a while."

Qiao Zhiqin supported Ning Yuxi to sit down on the sofa beside her, and reached out to take the gift in her hand.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just rely on it for a while. I will keep these gifts for you first."

"it is good."

Ning Yuxi nodded, leaned on the back of the sofa and lowered her eyes, casually playing with the phone in her hand, but her heart still couldn't be calm.

Qiao Zhiqin arranged the gifts and put them on the tea table, dragged Jiang Mengyun aside, and asked in a low voice:

"Why don't you see Mr. Lu?"

Jiang Mengyun glanced secretly in Ning Yuxi's direction, and whispered:

"I also find it strange that Brother Lu and his sister-in-law are always inseparable. They should be by her side at such an important time. Maybe there is something wrong."

Qiao Zhiqin didn't doubt that he was there, and Jiang Mengyun didn't think too much about it, the two of them quietly accompanied Ning Yuxi.

Jian Ximan walked in from the outside and saw Ning Yuxi in a daze with her head down, she was so quiet that she didn't look like the happy look in the afternoon at all.

Sitting down beside her, he reached out and held her cool hand.

"Nervous?"

Ning Yuxi shook her head, and lit up the phone screen with her fingers, but there was still no news from Lu Yuting on it, and the uneasiness in her heart was magnified again.
