Chapter 273 - 273 Got Snatched By A Stinking Brat From Neigh

The other women were very 'thoughtful' and left the room hurriedly. Even though Aunt Zhu left the room, she kept standing beside the door as if she was a guard.

Ji Yanli felt very wrong watching this scene.

"Earlier, I noticed Lixi calling you granny. So granny, please come with me.

"

Aunt Zhu shook her head,

"I can't. I have to… ah?!

"

Aunt Zhu was led downstairs by Ji Yanli even though the old lady was reluctant.

"Aiya girl. This old bone will break if you drag me so hard! Slow down! Slow down!

" The old woman tried to shake off her hand but Ji Yanli was persistent and brought her down.

"I can see you are a little tired. Why don't you rest a bit?... Waiter, come here.

"

Ji Yanli glanced sideways and motioned to a waiter. The man knew Ji Yanli's identity and hurriedly walked towards them.

With a gentle attitude, he presented the tray forward,

"Miss, please.

"

On the tray the man was holding, all kinds of beverages were there. Ji Yanli picked a little glass of orange juice and handed it.

Aunt Zhu took it reluctantly and glanced upstairs. After she stared for a few seconds, she turned her attention in front of her.

Sipping the glass, she lifted her gaze and glanced at Ji Yanli.

"Girl, are you a relative of… Young master Sheng?

"

"No. I am his friend.

" Ji Yanli casually replied and sat beside her. Currently, the function had yet to start. All the preparations were finished, even then the man in charge of it carefully scrutinized every single detail.

"Friend…

"

Even though it's a modern era, there are still many people who have the traditional mindset of the older generation. Aunt Zhu was both old and conservative and was brought up in such a family where men and women shouldn't

/couldn't be friends.

Ji Yanli twisted in her place and sat at a little distance, noticing the old person's scornful gaze. When she felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave, Aunt Zhu spoke out,

"Girl, what is your name?

"

Aunt Zhu lifted her head, being calm and gazed at Ji Yanli's face, 'With such an obvious vixen-like appearance, she claimed to be his friend… I am really worried about Miss now.'

Ji Yanli replied vaguely,

"Yanli… Well, I've matters to attend to. If you need anything, please ask any waiter. I will take my leave.

"

"Eh?... Yanli?

" Aunt Zhu frowned as she remembered that she had read a famous gossip magazine in her tab. It was related to Sheng Ruming and Ji Yanli.

When she remembered that this girl was the one who was entangled with her Miss's man for many years, also coupled with the rumours, Aunt Zhu's eyes turned cold and deep, 'A homewrecker… I better talk about this issue with the old master later. There can't stay any obstacle on Miss Luo's path!'

She had taken care of Luo Lixi for many years. Over those years, Aunt Zhu had developed some feelings for Luo Lixi and considered the other person one of her people.

Also, this time, she was assigned to observe the inner condition of the Sheng family. At one glance, she knew that Wei Airan was an easy-going person while Sheng Haotin was a little cold towards Luo Lixi.

Without being obvious, Aunt Zhu glanced around and when she saw no one was looking at her, she put down the glass on a low table and left the place.

After finding Luo Qintian, who was talking with Madam Wang, she decided to bring this matter later.

In the traditional yet simple qipao, which went well with her grey hair and wrinkled skin, Aunt Zhu walked to a side and simply found a seat. She knew that if she followed Luo Lixi too much, the latter might feel something was wrong.

'Miss needs to be wary. How can she let another woman get near to her man… Tsk tsk! The girl is indeed naive. Looks like I need to teach her something new…' Aunt Zhu thought as she pondered. Beside her, Zhao Yichen was keeping a look around the area.

When his and Xiao Huang's eyes met, there seemed to be an invisible conflict between the two people.

… …

"How am I looking, Ruming?

" Luo Lixi wore the high heels made of the finest material and diamond crusted; stood before him.

It could be said that the man was very meticulous about every single detail regarding her. If he could, he would have adorned her with treasures from head to toe to hide even a single bit of her skin.

"... gorgeous… but less than me.

" His black eyes bent into crescent moons as those orbs seized up her.

"Hoh! Sarcastic man~

" Luo Lixi couldn't help but stifle a mumbling laugh.

When Luo Lixi stood before him, they appeared to be the same height.

The woman raised her eyes and chuckled,

"Now, I don't need to lift my head to see your face! It's a beneficial point...

"

Amid her speech, a voice floated from the door.

"Is she prepared?

" Wei Airan stopped before the door. As soon as she pushed it, her eyes fell on the couple.

Wei Airan's eyes lit up in pleasant surprise. Looking up to the girl who would soon become her family's member, she was greatly satisfied.

"Guests are waiting outside. Don't delay anymore or then someone may complain that the couple is too busy to come down~

" Even though she was saying this, her bright face was smiling from ear to ear.

"Aunty, I am done. We can go now.

" Luo Lixi blushed slightly as she answered.

"Hurry up then.

" Wei Airan left when she saw everything was fine. She just wanted to make sure if those makeup artists had done their job properly. After she had seen with her own eyes, she was relieved.

Suddenly, Sheng Ruming wrapped his hand around her waist and dragged her towards him. Because of Wei Airan's earlier words, heat rushed up on Luo Lixi's cheeks. Again, because of the man's action, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide somewhere.

"Ruming, don't.

" Luo Lixi clutched his face and forced him backwards,

"It's not time to mess around.

" Luo Lixi tried to glare at him, 'At such an important time, this damn man is definitely up to no good!'

"But I just want to kiss you… only one time.

" Sheng Ruming felt his heart was being teased by her when her bright red lips entered his vision. 'I want to bully those two petals…'

His heated eyes were locked onto her luscious lips.

Luo Lixi, however, shook her head,

"Nah, it will ruin my makeup.

"

The man finally compromised under her berating. Though he had made a plan to ravish her thoroughly after the engagement party was finished.

"Milady, your hand…

" Sheng Ruming took her right hand and kissed the back of it. Luo Lixi had the sudden urge to slap away the grin from his face when his tongue wetted her skin.

"You!

" The man didn't give her any other chance to let out her outburst and led her outside.

Because no media reporters were invited, the ceremony went smoothly. Before every, he led her outside.

Several tables and seats were set on the ground and a high podium was made in front of the villa's main building. Some were standing in a group and talking while some were seated with people.

At one of the tables, Luo Qintian was seated with his three old friends. Anyone who would see them would feel immense respect for them. None of them was a figure to trifle with.

On the high podium which was made in front of the villa, Sheng Ruming put a beautiful ring on Luo Lixi's ring finger. It was a platinum ring with a blue diamond in its core.

Even now, Luo Lixi couldn't believe that she was engaged with Sheng Ruming. She was afraid that the next second, she would wake up with a bang.

Luo Lixi also put a matching ring on his ring finger. Under the blessing of everyone, Luo Lixi smiled sweetly.

Luo Qintian saw her smile and felt somewhat relieved but there wasn't any kind of happiness on his face.

"Old Luo, don't make a face now. Look, the child is happy. You should let it go and bless them.

" Elder Wang whispered to Luo Qintian. Even though the occasion was grand and only a few important figures were invited from both sides, some people were giving this area too much attention.

"Aiya, old Wang, you know that he is not happy. Why are you telling this? What if he is angry, sad, dissatisfied?! Does anybody have the ability to point at him? Humph!

"

Elder Bin whispered domineeringly. He was upset because even though his grandson from the daughter's side spent so much time with Luo Lixi, in the end, she was snatched away by a stinking brat from the neighbouring city!
