Lots of misunderstandings, the president's bride

Chapter 167

An Xi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, this matter is true.

Anxi turned around and sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't wear makeup, and she didn't have the domineering look in the eyes of others.

If she could hide under the wings of others for the rest of her life, which woman would be willing to be tough for the rest of her life.

She took a deep breath, then picked up a foundation brush and applied her makeup.

Because it was a French dinner, it was quite formal. Anxi prepared a very low-key dress, which was simple but also polite.

When Anxi arrived, almost everyone was there.

An Xi stood beside Xia Minglang, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I've been delayed a bit."

Xia Minglang chuckled, "It doesn't matter, we arrived first. Please sit down."

Because Anxi and Emma were guests, she sat in the upper seat, next to Mrs. Xia.

She smiled, "Miss An Xi, come and sit here with me."

She looked around, Xia Zhan hadn't arrived yet, but Ke Muyang and Xia Zhilan were already sitting opposite her.And she happened to be sitting face to face with Ke Muyang.

Ke Muyang looked at her with a half-smile in his eyes.

Xia Zhilan smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, eat more later."

An Xi nodded, "Okay."

Sitting next to Xia Zhilan were Ke Fengyi and Shen Pingting.

Seeing An Xi, Ke Fengyi naturally didn't have a good face, and was even a little surprised, how could An Xi attend this family gathering.

But Shen Pingting still nodded to her as a greeting.

"Father." At this moment, Xia Zhan walked in.

"You are late." Xia Minglang was a little unhappy, "Let the guests wait for you for so long."

"Sorry." He saw Anxi at first sight.

Anxi also looked at him.

"Go and sit down." Xia Minglang motioned to the waiter at the side to start.

Xia Zhan walked up to An Xi and sat down, An Xi still smiled naturally.But Xia Zhan just glanced at her but didn't say anything.

And the faint smell of alcohol emanating from his body indicated Xia Zhan's hangover.

An Xi looked at him and said softly, "Don't drink so much in the future. Look at your eyes are still red."

"Do you care about me so much?"

"I used to care about you too." An Xi lowered her eyes and said softly.

Xia Zhan chuckled lightly, but didn't say anything else.

At this time, the waiter served a sweet and sour aperitif...

In formal occasions, it pays great attention to procedures and steps.

The waiter bent over her and asked softly, "Madam, what aperitif would you like?"

An Xi looked away and said, "Plum champagne."

Appetizers are generally wine, champagne, cocktails, juices, sodas, etc. Of course, it depends on the preferences of the guests, but more people like to drink a glass of relatively light champagne before meals.

The plum champagne Anxi ordered has a very light taste and no alcohol taste. When paired with an aperitif, it should be paired with some appetizers, such as pistachios, almonds, peanuts, olives, cheese, etc.The appetizers won't be too greasy, and An Xi ordered cheese.

"Cheese." At this moment, only hearing Ke Muyang's voice, An Xi glanced subconsciously, it turned out that he ordered the same wine and snacks as her.

He took a sip, but subconsciously glanced at An Xi, only to see him hold the cup slightly, as a gesture of respect to her.

Naturally, Anxi didn't let alone refuse.

At the dining table, everyone's atmosphere seemed very relaxed. No matter it was pretend or real, in short, this meal still had to be eaten.

After the aperitif, we enter the theme. Appetizers are usually salads, cold cuts, vegetables and seafood.

The waiter brought you a seafood plate instead, An Xi was taken aback, and asked the waiter, "Excuse me, what I want is a salad."

The waiter bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Ke asked me to replace it with a seafood platter for you."

An Xi subconsciously looked at Ke Muyang who was sitting across from her. He was respecting her with champagne in his hand.

An Xi pursed her lips, and smiled back at him with a glass of wine.

The waiter poured the lemon juice evenly on the oysters for her. The meat of the oysters trembled slightly. The lemon juice is used to remove the fishy smell, especially the sashimi oysters, dipped in mustard sauce, this taste is very delicious , but she prefers it with mayonnaise.

An Xi gracefully took out a piece of oyster meat from the oyster shell with a fork, dipped it in mayonnaise, and put it in her mouth. The fresh and tender taste made her smile with satisfaction.

"Wow! Anxi, your seafood platter seems very good." Emma ate the cold dish in front of her, but looked at her seafood with salivation.

An Xi subconsciously glanced at Ke Muyang who was opposite, and then said with a smile, "Then let's change?"

"Okay!" Emma was very happy.

Then Anxi put her own seafood platter in front of her, and brought her cold dishes.

Ke Muyang didn't seem to be unhappy at all, but he looked at her out of the corner of his eye, and smiled faintly and took a sip of plum wine.

He and Xia Zhilan next to him were flirting and flirting with each other, and they would drink a drink with each other from time to time, as if they didn't care at all.

Xia Zhan cast a glance at Anxi who was sitting beside him from the corner of his eyes, and then turned his gaze to Shen Pingting who was opposite, "Pingping, cold dishes are not suitable for you, you should eat my seafood soup."

Shen Pingting was taken aback when she heard the words, she looked at Xia Zhan in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

Anxi also paused for a while, but still ate the cold dish in front of her as if nothing had happened, and then whispered and laughed with Emma beside her, not caring at all.

Xia Zhan just glanced at her, perhaps disappointed that he didn't see what he expected, so he immediately signaled the waiter to send his iron to Shen Pingting.

Naturally, Shen Pingting could see Xia Zhan's intentions, she subconsciously glanced at An Xi, then smiled at Xia Zhan, "Thank you."

Ke Fengyi on the side immediately showed a satisfied and proud smile, "Look, the two of them really love each other. Tianzhan knows that our Pingping can't eat cold food, so he specially replaced it with hot soup."

Xia Minglang probably did it on purpose, so he smiled immediately, "That's good, it saves us from worrying. Tianzhan, treat Pingping well."

Shen Pingting immediately said, "Mr. Xia, no, that's not the case..."

"I see, father." Xia Zhan suddenly interrupted her.

After An Xi heard the words, she deliberately tidied up the napkin on her knees to cover up her emotional changes at the moment.

"This..." Emma immediately wanted to say something, but An Xi reached out to hold her down, closed her eyes at her, and signaled her not to talk nonsense.

Emma was obviously a little unhappy, and snorted angrily.

"That's good, then we, as elders, can rest assured." Xia Minglang raised his wine glass and toasted Ke Fengyi.

Ke Fengyi immediately smiled, picked up the wine glass and laughed, "Yes, yes, seeing the two of them is finally a long way to go, and I feel relieved."

But An Xi, Xia Zhan and Shen Pingting all remained silent afterwards.

After the appetizers, it's time for the main course.

The waiter cleaned up the previous knives, forks and plates, and then put on a clean set of staple tableware one by one.

An Xi ordered a medium-rare steak.The steak is a good filet, served with cream and pepper sauce, and a glass of mellow red wine.

Xia Zhilan held Ke Muyang's arm very affectionately, and the two seemed to be very sweet.

Xia Zhilan smiled, "Then Dad, it looks like our Xia family is going to have a happy event again?"

Xia Minglang just smiled without saying a word, and then greeted An Xi, "Miss An Xi, you're welcome, eat more."

An Xi smiled as if nothing had happened, "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Xia."

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Xia Zhilan and Ke Muyang on the opposite side, and Xia Zhilan cut a piece of steak for Ke Muyang very affectionately and brought it to his mouth.

After that, Ke Muyang didn't refuse at all. From this angle, Ke Muyang's hand seemed to be placed on her waist naturally and casually.The two seemed so in love.

She looked away, but didn't look at Xia Zhan. She knew that Xia Zhan was trying to anger her on purpose.

It's just a joke, but it's not funny at all.

She wanted to persist so much, but why did he break her persistence so easily again and again.

An Xi's hand holding the knife and fork trembled slightly, but she still tried her best to keep herself calm. When she was not careful, the knife made a scalp-numbing sharp sound when it slashed across the dinner plate.

An Xi immediately looked up at everyone, smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Ke Fengyi was naturally very dissatisfied, she frowned and looked at An Xi with a smile, "If you don't know how to use a knife and fork, then don't use it, if you force it, it will only make others comfortable."
