Chapter 1222 - Devilish and Cold (1/2)
Cen Xi looked around, but didn’t find where the gaze came from.
She sucked in a deep breath, before she expressed her blessings towards the King and Queen and some of her thoughts of catching the bouquet with everyone’s attention on her.
After she gave her speech, Cen Xi realized that the sharp gaze seemed to have disappeared. She couldn’t help but look around once more, but she didn’t notice anything wrong.
It seemed that she was too suspicious and sensitive.
…
It was time for the dinner banquet.
At the main table, Qiao Yanze asked An Feng in a whisper, “Who is that girl?”
An Feng looked in the direction where Qiao Yanze was pointing at, which was another table where the King and Bride were currently toasting to their guests, or more specifically, at Cen Xi, who had stood up.
An Feng found out some things about Cen Xi from Nan Zhi. She was completely different from her older sister, Xiao Ying. If Cen Xi didn’t help them, Sihan wouldn’t have taken down the Prince so quickly.
“She’s Xiao Ying’s younger sister, the girl Zhizhi told you about before. After she found out what her older sister did to you, she felt really sad and sorry, saying that she wanted to apologize personally to you if she saw you.”
An inert hatred and coldness immediately exuded from Qiao Yanze’s dark eyes.
So, she was Xiao Ying’s younger sister! No wonder he thought her gem-like eyes were so familiar when he met her in the desert!
Qiao Yanze’s hands under the table clenched into tight fists unconsciously, the veins on the back of his hand twitching.
“Yanze, Cen Xi is a good girl. Her older sister has received what she deserved, you…”
As if not wanting to hear Xiao Ying’s name anymore, Qiao Yanze even felt annoyed by hearing her younger sister, Cen Xi’s name. He said with dark eyes. “As long as she doesn’t annoy me.”
An Feng stared at Qiao Yanze, who seemed to have changed into a different person after what happened to the Qiao family. Her heart ached terribly for him.
“Yanze, you have to continue to look forward always. Don’t keep living in the pain and guilt from the past.”
Qiao Yanze closed his red eyes. Could he still look forward now? Because of him, the century old Qiao family was ruined. Because of him, Mother had committed suicide.
How could he forget the destruction he had brought about?
…
Qiao Yanze had never let go of himself for a very long time now, so he drank until he was drunk during Zhizhi’s wedding.
An Feng wanted to tell him not to drink so much, but Helian Xiao shook his head at her, whispering, “His heart is troubled, so let him drink!”
He had gone from a proud young man that didn’t have any worries to facing a complete change in his family and relations.h.i.+p, practically falling from heaven to h.e.l.l. If his mind was weaker, he would have long gone berserk.
However, not only did he quit the drug that was hardest to quit, he was even able to infiltrate into the depths of a criminal organization. He became a spy without any fears of his life not only because he had the bravery and courage, but more because of the hatred he had towards the criminal organization!
Cen Xi drank a few cups during the banquet, the alcohol flush turning her face red. She wasn’t drunk, but her face was incredibly red.
She cupped her face and went to the washroom.
When she left the washroom and had just walked to the ballroom entrance, she saw Yi Fan help a drunk man out. The man’s head was down, so she couldn’t see what he looked like, but his back…
Cen Xi’s eyes constricted slightly.
Was she seeing wrongly? If not, why did she feel that the man’s back looked a little like Mr Qiao Sen’s?
That night, she was saved by the international police and was brought back to the Capital after. In the month following, she had dreamed of what had happened at the deserts every night…
She dreamed of him taking off her top, pressing her under him. She dreamed of her accidentally touching his lips. She dreamed of her riding a horse with him, her back b.u.mping into his chest from time to time when she sat in front of him…
She didn’t know why she just couldn’t seem to forget him.
