Chapter 625

Forget about three cups, even ten don’t matter, as long as Song Chuanqi doesn’t spill their secret—that their daughter-in-law just happened to be his and another’s adoptive daughter. They tortured Ye Baixiu to no end, costing him nights of restless sleep!

If Peilan discovered the truth, their marriage might be in jeopardy! The youngest son was just like a bad luck charm!

Even if Song Chuanqi reveals the truth, as long as he denies it, Song Chuanqi will have no choice but to concede defeat, as outsiders would find it unbelievable, right?noveldrama

Ye Baixiu felt slightly more at ease, but if he refused to admit it, what would Peilan do?

While others might not know, Ye Baixiu was crystal clear. Peilan was indeed the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family. If Xingguang’s mother – the actual rightful daughter – disclosed Peilan’s identity, how would Peilan face this situation?

In conclusion, neither the in-laws or the parents could be offended!

...

“Dad, Mom, Dad, Mom.” At that moment, the voice of the youngest son could be heard.

Ye Junqing arrived together with Ye Shiting, having been busy from morning till late at night, only then were they able to sit down.

Once he sat down, the table was full, and the banquet began. Waiters served a variety of dishes, he spun the turntable, first served the in-laws, then served his own parents before finally serving Ye Xingguang.

Tang Zhou, sitting nearby, wasn’t satisfied: “Junqing Bro, am I not a human?”

“Ask Leng Chenmo to serve you.”

The moment Ye Junqing finished speaking, Leng Chenmo put the food into Tang Zhou’s bowl. Ye Xingguang giggled uncontrollably.

But the moment she looked up and saw Ye Junqing’s gaze, it was so intense that it made her heart flutter. She was baffled: “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Ye Junqing glanced at her, his thoughts in disarray: “You look very beautiful today.”

“So, am I not beautiful on usual days?” She retorted feistily.

“You’re even more beautiful today.”

Of course! Her entrance into the banquet hall turned so many heads, she was undoubtedly the belle of the ball.

Many others had the same thought. The ladies, dressed to the nines, thought they were the fairest of them all especially Xia Yanyan, who was adored and revered since childhood, believed none could match her beauty.

At that moment, Xia Yanyan was sitting with a group of official daughters.

Initially, she was expected to sit with her grandmother’s family. But Yi Yujian didn’t send her an invitation. Thanks to Lawson Perry, the vice president, she was able to attend the national banquet.

“Yanyan, I heard the President will announce your marriage partner at the inauguration dinner tonight, who have you chosen?”

Xia Yanyan smirked mysteriously: “You’ll find out soon.”

“Yanyan, will your wedding be a state wedding? Will it be conducted following the state wedding protocol? National treasures are indeed blessed, even weddings can be grand state events, fully funded by the government. Don’t forget to send me an invitation, I must attend your wedding.”

“Yes, yes, our country hasn’t hosted a state wedding till now. Only the president or his daughters are entitled to such grandeur, except if you’re a national treasure, then you may have this honor.”

“I would love to become a mermaid too, but my parents didn’t have the foresight back when I was born. If they did, they may have also participated in the mermaid transformation opportunity. Maybe then, I would also be a beautiful mermaid.”
