222 Fateful Evening (2/2)

When he walked up to the table, he placed his drink on the table and asked, ”Miss, do you need any assistance? I saw the little girl crying.”

”Oh! Yes, I think she might have gotten lost. This party is really grand, so I want to help her find her parents.” The girl's light hazel colored eyes captivated his attention as her gratitude smile made his heart race crazily.

He snapped out of his thoughts quickly and rubbed the little girl's head, ”Little princess, can you tell me your mommy and daddy's name? This way, we can find them faster.”

The little girl hesitantly nodded and told them her parent's name. After some time later, they successfully helped her find her parents.

”It's great that we finally found her parents. Hahaha, it was fun walking through the crowd with you, Huang Jiang Wei.” She chuckled while looking at him in the eyes.

”You know my name?” He asked curiously because he didn't make a proper introduction and rarely attended socialite events.

”Yep. I see you almost all five days of the week. I study in the same department as you at the university. You probably never noticed me because I usually wear very low profile outfits. Anyways, thanks for your help! I was a little bored since I didn't know anyone here.” She turned around to leave, but was stopped by a warm hand holding onto her wrists.

”Hmm?” she turned around and blinked a few times.

”Oh.. um.. You already knew my name, but I still haven't known yours yet. Can you tell me your name?” He almost wanted to scold himself in the head for acting impulsively to a girl he barely knew.

Her smile was like blossoming flowers in Spring, making his heart race over and over again, ”My name is... Chen Anna. Nice to meet you.” With his hand still on her wrist, he tried to continue the conversation, but didn't know what to say.

”D..do you want waffles?” he randomly asked.

”Pfffft... waffles? Isn't this your sister's wedding? Aiya, don't tell me you wanted to plan a sneak out heh.”

”If it's with you, I'll go. If not... then maybe dessert later?” he retracted his hand quickly after realizing that he was spurting out nonsensible things. When he was ready for her rejection, he heard her sweet voice, ”Sure. I'd love to have waffles for dessert tonight. after the wedding ends.”

Both Anna and Wei Wei blushed slightly while awkwardly staring at each other and trying to make random conversations. From a distance, Shi Xue and Zhi Hei clanged their glass wines while hugging each other.

Shi Xue whispered, ”Our son got caught.”

Zhi Hei laughed, ”Yup, definitely caught.”

Shi Xue rubbed her face against his chest, ”I can see that love is in the air between them. I'm glad I invited her.”

Zhi Hei pinched her chin and bent down to give her a small kiss, ”So, wifey already saw our future daughter in law?”

Shi Xue bit his bottom lip playfully, ”Sheesh~ I don't know what you mean~ I only went to bring him lunch while he was busy in the research lab. While passing by the halls, I had a small chat with Anna~ That was it. Simple chat.”

Zhi Hei grinned, ”Sure, sure. Whatever wife says, she's right. We'll see if we are fortunate enough this time around with them. By the way, how many drinks have you had already? Your cheeks are a bit pink.”

She placed the wine on a nearby table and pecked his cheeks, ”Only a few~ Not that many. Not enough to stop us tonight.”

He also placed his drink down and hugged her with his arms, ”Fine, but no more. Not even one sip okay? You know your body can't handle that much alcohol these days. We still have to grow old and watch our grandchildren run after each other.”

”Mmm...” The couple hugged each other sweetly as their eyes wandered around the wedding hall, observing their children and future family members. Many years ago, at the same hall, they met each other and eventually fell in love. Many years later, today, their daughter got married here. And very soon, their grandchildren will be here.

While watching the newlyweds loving actions and then their son's silly reaction to the girl whom he seemed to fancy, the couple whispered, ”I love you.”
