She subconsciously raised her head and saw a familiar figure.

He wears an olive green military uniform, straight and straight, with two stripes and four stars on the shoulders.

Four stars?

No, four stars means a senior colonel, while Lou Xi means a lieutenant colonel, two stars.

She looked at it carefully and was shocked. It was not Lou Xi, but... Lou Yi?!

Now she can clearly tell that they are not the same person. Although the two brothers look very similar, almost exactly the same, their eyes are different. Counting this time, she has only seen Lou Yi twice. She has no interest in him.

I don’t know much about him, but he seems to be a lot different from seven years ago. At that time, he was sharp and sharp, but after the precipitation of time, he has become calm and restrained now. Although he is already a senior colonel at a young age, he has something like

There is a kind of temperament that can make people rise and fall quietly flowing. Compared with Lou Xi, Lou Yi seems to have less sharp edges and more peace, like something that has settled after many vicissitudes of life, while Lou Xi is more solid -

Hard and sharp, there is always some unfathomable depth and mystery in his eyes.

With the arrival of Lou Yi, the entrance of the hotel became even more noisy. Ye Xingchen was shocked at first because of the accident, but then calmed down. It will indeed attract everyone's attention. Just the face that is exactly the same as Lou Xi will attract people.

Screaming, not to mention that there are only a handful of 27-year-old senior colonels in all major military regions across the country. Not surprisingly, he may become the youngest general-level officer in the history of New China during the peace period. All the distinguished guests at home today are

If you are not an object in the pool, you naturally know what that means, so it’s no wonder that everyone in the audience was amazed.

However, there is something even more amazing behind!

Ye Xingchen's breath that had just calmed down tightened again with the tall figure behind Lou Yi, Lou Xi?!

She opened her eyes wide, but unexpectedly looked into a pair of deep black eyes.

Why is he here?

Ye Xingchen frowned subconsciously, full of doubts in his heart, and he was not just arriving, he was completely dressed up!

Today he is not wearing a military uniform, but is wearing a suit and leather shoes. The slim tailoring perfectly outlines his lean and strong body. The collar of his white shirt is meticulous, and the tie button around his neck is sharp and angular. His whole body exudes a sense of masculinity.

A cold and hard temperament, a pair of deep black eyes, a high bridge of nose, and lightly pursed thin lips formed three-dimensional facial features. The corners of his lips evoked a faint smile, which deepened the indifference.

The breath of arrogance.

This was the first time she had seen him dressed so formally. Different from his handsome appearance in military uniform, he seemed to have an evil charm about him that was breathtaking.

Ye Xingchen was stunned, unable to react for a moment. When she remembered that she could not meet Lou Xi in public, it was already too late. Lou Xi and Lou Yi were surrounded by crowds, and the originally spacious corridor suddenly became

She narrowed down, his shoulder brushed against hers, and he walked slowly past.

"Hi." His low, extremely familiar voice fell gently into her ears, only into her ears, but she could hear it clearly in the noisy crowd.

What does he want to do?

Ye Xingchen was startled and suddenly raised his head, his eyes slightly reddened by crying.

Lou Xi stared slightly, an almost invisible light flashing through his deep eyes.

Ye Xingchen was a little embarrassed, and quickly lowered his head, avoiding his gaze. In just a few seconds, or even just a second, he passed by him.

No one noticed the difference between them.

According to local customs in Yunchuan, wedding banquets are usually held at 12 noon, so there is still some time, and there are also some very important leaders who are busy with official duties and can only arrive on time. The banquet hall is bustling, Xiang Fan's parents

Receive everyone in person.

Lou Yi was wearing a military uniform, so he naturally attracted attention. When Xiang Fan's parents saw him, their eyes suddenly lit up and they hurriedly greeted him. Lou Yi was faster than them and greeted him politely, "Uncle Xiang, Aunt Fan, congratulations."

Congratulations!"

A call to Uncle Xiang and a call to Aunt Fan narrowed the distance. Xiang Fan's parents were extremely happy, "Thank you, thank you!"

Lou Yi took out the red envelope and offered it with both hands, "This is a little bit of my father's wishes."

My father?

Xiang Fan's parents smiled even more and said quickly, "How are you doing, Commander Lou?"

"It's good, but he left the army to express condolences, so he couldn't come to congratulate him in person today. He asked me to come and apologize to Uncle Xiang and Aunt Fan."

"Oh, you don't have to be so polite. Commander Lou is busy with military affairs. This is just a small matter at home."

After exchanging a few words, Xiang Fan's mother asked again, "How is Ms. Han doing lately? I haven't seen her for a long time."

Ms. Han refers to Lou Yi and Lou Xi’s mother, Han Fengyi.

Lou Yi smiled. He and Lou Xi had already made an agreement before coming to the hotel. One represented his father and the other represented his mother. He looked sideways slightly. It was obviously Lou Xi's turn to speak, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, there was no one there!

Lou Yi felt suspicious in his heart, where did he go?

However, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he answered calmly, "My mother went to Germany yesterday to discuss a business deal, so... I'm sorry. But she asked me to send her greetings and wish Uncle Xiang and Aunt Fan a happy future.

"

"thanks, thanks!"

After talking about the scene, Xiang Fan's parents arranged for Lou Yi to sit down, naturally in the front seat. Lou Yi sat down slowly, but couldn't help but turn around. Where is Lou Xi?

The table at the end was deserted. Although several of Shu Rao's colleagues also came, they also felt the awkwardness of the atmosphere. Three or five of them lowered their heads and whispered with unnatural expressions.

Then there are Shu Rao's grandparents, and Shu Jing. Ye Xingchen is with them, taking care of the two old people, and also looking at Shu Jing, fearing that he will be motivated.

There is still quite a while until 12 o'clock, and it will take some time after the ceremony. It is estimated that the banquet will start at one or two o'clock. Ye Xingchen can't help but worry about the health of the two elderly people.

They came from their hometown yesterday. Shu Rao and Shu Jing went back to pick them up in person. The two old people were a little motion sick on the way. They didn't sleep well last night. I don't know if it was because they were happy or sad. Today there are more

I got up early in the morning.

"Grandpa, grandma, are you hungry?" Ye Xingchen asked with concern.

"Are you hungry?" The two old men shook their heads repeatedly, obviously very nervous.

"Oops -" Shu Rao's grandma suddenly shouted, as if she remembered something.

"What's wrong?" Shu Rao's grandfather looked surprised and worried.

"I...I seem to have forgotten that bracelet!" Shu Rao's grandma rummaged around quickly, touched her pockets, and finally took out a piece of red cloth from her trouser pocket, with a bracelet wrapped in silver.

"This bracelet was passed down from my grandma to my mother, and my mother passed it down to me. I don't have a daughter, I only have a granddaughter like Rao Rao, so today I will pass it on to Rao Rao again. It's been a while.

It’s something with a good meaning. I believe Rao Rao will be happy forever if she wears it.” Shu Rao’s grandma said earnestly.

"Yes, yes, we will let Rao Rao wear this during the wedding later. She will definitely be happy!" Shu Rao's grandfather held his wife's hand tightly, and the two of them caressed the old bracelet together.

On the side, Shu Jing remained silent.

Ye Xingchen's heart twisted. Shu Rao didn't even choose the wedding ring herself, so how could she wear this bracelet? Let alone silver, even if it was platinum, Xiang Jia probably wouldn't like it.

"Shu Jing, I'm going to the bathroom, you take care of your grandparents!" She stood up in a hurry because she couldn't control her tears.

Get up and run away.

Because it was the last table, it was also closest to the exit of the banquet room. She ran towards the outside, but unexpectedly bumped into a broad chest.

◎◎◎

"Yes..." She was about to apologize when she looked up and saw an extremely familiar handsome face.

She didn't know why, but she hugged him and buried her face tightly in his arms. Her tears silently wet his clothes.

Suddenly, this tall body made her feel like she wanted to rely on her. She hugged him tightly, as if she was grabbing the last piece of driftwood in the water.

Lou Xi's thoughts were flowing rapidly, including the quarrel on the phone that day, and the strange atmosphere that he clearly felt when he entered the venue today. In addition, the little woman in his arms looked aggrieved and shed tears. He knew it without asking.

What happened.

He closed his arms and hugged her tighter.

"To be honest, do you still want her to get married?" He kissed her hair and spoke with pity.

Ye Xingchen bit his lip tightly, not wanting to cry, and shook his head gently.

This is the first time she has bravely expressed her thoughts in these days. She really doesn't want Shu Rao to get married. Shu Rao is so good, why should she suffer this kind of injustice?

In fact, she knew that Shu Rao was also wavering, but the wedding was just around the corner and everything was ready. She didn't have the courage to escape from the wedding, let alone support her, and no one would support her.

And although she knew that Shu Rao was feeling uncomfortable and was trying to force a smile, she would rather demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage. She didn't know if Shu Rao would meet someone she loved more than Xiang Fan in the future if she didn't marry Xiang Fan.

Her man, so she didn't dare to speak nonsense, for fear that her words would affect Shu Rao's decision and her lifelong happiness.

But today, until the wedding scene, until the huge difference in treatment, until Grandma Shu Rao took out the bracelet, she deeply realized that it was not Xiang Jia who looked down on Shu Rao, but Shu Rao who looked down on them.

!They are just rich and powerful, but they don’t understand feelings!

Shu Rao will not be happy if she marries into such a family!

"Okay, don't cry, I know what to do." He suddenly said in a deep voice.

Ye Xingchen was suddenly startled, "Do, what?"

Lou Xi didn't answer, he just held her cheeks, lowered his head, and kissed her gently on the eyes, "Go to the bride, be good."

He gently pushed her shoulders and pushed her back to the banquet room.

Ye Xingchen was very confused, but somehow, he actually listened to his words and walked quickly through the entire banquet hall and went straight to the bride's lounge.
