Chapter 288 Amazing
Because of what had just happened, and now hearing this announcement, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Ye Qing'an.
Yimo Xu?
Ye Qing'an was also somewhat surprised, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "You've come at the right time. Please come in."
Soon, Ye Qing'an saw Yi Moxu walk in from outside the door, wearing the same moon-white clothes he had left in the morning, with a half-gold hollowed-out mask on his face, and a tall and straight posture with an outstanding temperament.
Upon entering the courtyard, Yi Moxu paused slightly, his gaze quickly sweeping around the yard before finally settling on Ye Qing'an. He then strode towards Ye Qing'an.
"Qing'an." Yi Moxu's voice was low and husky, yet it seemed to have a hook, drawing everyone's hearts in.
Ye Qing'an suddenly smiled brightly, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "Why are you here?"
Yi Moxu's gaze fell on the low table beside Ye Qing'an: "I heard that someone specially arranged a table for me at this banquet, so of course I should come. You said before that it was a family banquet today and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to come, so you didn't bring me. As soon as I heard about it outside, I came by myself."
Ye Qing'an couldn't help but lower her eyes and chuckle, her tone full of grievance...
tsk...
Who would have thought that this Prince Duan was also a theatrical performer?
"Then sit down."
Yi Moxu sat down in the empty seat next to Eleven as instructed, then turned around and smiled at Eleven.
"Uncle Xu!" Eleven's voice was full of joy, his affection for Yi Moxu was overflowing.
Yi Moxu also raised his head and rubbed Eleven's head: "Good boy."
If one didn't know the inside story, one would probably think that this was a loving and harmonious family.
Ye Weilan clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, her eyes stinging at the sight: "Xu Yixiu's arrival is quite timely. We were just talking about my sister and Xu Yixiu. I was just asking my sister when I could drink at her wedding and call Xu Yixiu my brother-in-law."
"Oh?" Yi Moxu didn't even lift his eyelids: "Just listen to Qing'an. If she is willing to marry, I will do everything I can to marry her. If she doesn't want to marry for the time being, I will stay by her side and protect her for the rest of my life."
Ye Weilan felt her eyes sting even more: "Haha, sister is so lucky to have met such a devoted man as Doctor Xu. It's just..."
"This is a family banquet at our Ye residence. Since Physician Xu is here, and given his relationship with my sister, he can be considered a member of the Ye family. Why should this family wear masks in public?"
Ye Qing'an ignored him, and simply took the wine glass in front of Yi Moxu and poured him a glass of wine.
Yi Moxu raised his head, his gaze falling calmly on Ye Weilan. His gaze was utterly serene, almost devoid of any emotion, yet Ye Weilan inexplicably felt the hairs on the back of her body stand on end…
It almost made her smile falter.
Just as Ye Weilan was about to give in to Yi Moxu's gaze and was about to change the subject, Yi Moxu finally spoke.
“What the Second Miss says is quite right. In that case, I will take off this mask.”
Before anyone could react, Yi Moxu had already raised his hand and removed the mask from his face, revealing a face that was so beautiful it was almost otherworldly.
For a moment, the courtyard fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at Yi Moxu, their faces filled with disbelief.
"This...this face..."
Ye Qing'an tilted her head back and drank a glass of wine, smiling as she looked at Yi Moxu's face: "Isn't this face very handsome?"
When Ye Qing'an spoke, everyone seemed to be jolted awake from a dream, and their hearts were stirred with considerable turmoil. Even Ye Weilan felt her heart beating a little fast.
"Speaking of which, I was also stunned for a long time when I first saw Dr. Xu's face. I had never seen such a beautiful face. It was extremely beautiful, yet the features were very deep, and it was not effeminate at all. I think that a large part of the reason why I fell in love with Dr. Xu was because of this face."
like?
Yi Moxu's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face. Ye Qing'an's face was full of smiles, which seemed to be playful, yet also extremely serious. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false.
"They are quite beautiful." Liu Xueying had already come to her senses: "Like Qing'an, they are both talented and beautiful, and they are a perfect match."
"Thank you for your kind words, Madam Ye." Yi Moxu's voice remained cold, but because of her face, it seemed even more alluring.
Liu Xueying's gaze, however, fell on the tattoo on Yi Moxu's face: "I just don't know, what's wrong with Doctor Xu's tattoo..."
He was framed by powerful and influential people, but his innocence was later redressed, and he was able to see the light of day again.
As soon as Yi Moxu finished speaking, Ye Qing'an spoke up: "Father has seen Xu Yixiu's face before. Father has also sent people to investigate Xu Yixiu's background. If Mother is curious, she can ask Father for details."
His words, both in and out, conveyed a sense of protection.
Liu Xueying's eyes darkened, but a hint of teasing appeared on her face: "I was just asking casually, look how worried Qing'an is... Qing'an really protects Xu Yixiu very well."
"My people are naturally my responsibility to protect."
Ye Weilan's schemes all failed, and Xu Mo's appearance under the mask was not as ugly as she had imagined, but rather surprisingly beautiful. This filled Ye Weilan with resentment, and she gritted her teeth in silence.
How did Ye Qing'an manage to steal such the limelight?
As Ye Weilan was thinking, she saw Liu Xueying's gaze pierce her, her eyes full of warning.
Ye Weilan quickly lowered her eyes, concealing all her emotions.
"That's good. Seeing how happy you are makes me happy for you too. Alright, let's begin the banquet," Liu Xueying said with a smile.
The banquet begins.
The sounds of string and wind instruments begin.
A dancer enters.
The people at the table had different thoughts, but on the surface, they all wore smiles and maintained a facade of peace.
Amidst the clinking of glasses and lively conversation, although many eyes still lingered on Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu, the attention was no longer as intense as before.
Yi Moxu turned his head and glanced at Ye Qing'an. Ye Qing'an curled the corners of his lips and raised his glass towards Yi Moxu.
Yi Moxu also picked up his wine glass.
Eleven glanced at the two of them, chuckled, and suddenly stood up and sat down below Yi Moxu: "Mother and Uncle Xu, please have a good talk. I'll watch the dance for a while."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled, her eyes filled with helplessness.
Just as Yi Moxu was about to speak, a delicate fragrance wafted into his nose, and his expression immediately changed.
