"You don't want to go?" Seeing Zheng Xiyao's face, Zheng Siqi asked.
Zheng Xiyao forced a smile and said, "No, I'm just a little surprised. How can I represent the Zheng family?"
Am I crazy, or is the Zheng family crazy?
Someone at the top must know about her betrayal of the male protagonist. Leaking military secrets is a serious crime.
If she is discovered, then she...
Besides, her marriage to the male protagonist was originally a fake marriage.
Zheng Xiyao pretended not to care and said: "His birthday party is so grand? Is it because he is the head of state?"
To be honest, Zheng Xiyao's mind is completely blank now.
"certainly."
"Then it's not appropriate for me to go to such an important occasion."
Zheng Xiyao feels baffled now.
"People from the Brand family are also going this time. You may not know that my father lost this cabinet rotation to the Brand family. It is impossible for him to go." He paused and continued: "I will tell you later We are about to go to the base star for duty, so only you can represent the Zheng family."
Zheng Xiyao thought of many possibilities, but she never thought it would be like this. The most important thing is that if this matter is not handled well, the end may be even worse than before.
This made Zheng Xiyao, who thought she had successfully escaped, feel very depressed.
Zheng Siqi looked at Zheng Xiyao, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Since Hawke wants to marry you, he will definitely protect you. You don't have to worry."
Zheng Xiyao: Protect her? She was thankful that he wasn't fanning the flames and adding fuel to the flames.
Zheng Xiyao took a deep breath and asked hopefully, "Then I will go alone this time?"
The young man's sharp eyes gradually narrowed. He looked at Zheng Xiyao sharply and suddenly said: "Zheng Xiyao, tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?"
Zheng Xiyao opened her mouth slightly and closed it again.
As soon as he saw Zheng Xiyao's expression, Zheng Siqi understood everything.
Seeing that Zheng Xiyao was silent, the young man suddenly said: "Let me tell you, you were so good back then, and you left as soon as you said you wanted to leave on the wedding day. How could you agree to marry him again so easily this time?"
Zheng Xiyao looked at the young man and said silently after a while: "It's all for survival."
"Huh? When did our Zheng family need you to do such a shameful thing in order to survive?"
Speaking of this, fatigue appeared in Zheng Siqi's eyes: "I don't know the specific situation between you and Hawke, but I tell you, you have only two options today, either get married well, or I will shoot you right now."
Zheng Xiyao: "...brother, calm down."
The young man's eyes were filled with anger and his voice was hoarse: "Do you know where you are now? What's the situation of the Zheng family? If what happened back then happens again, don't talk about you, the entire Zheng family will be destroyed."
Zheng Xiyao was silent.
None of this is beyond her control.
She was the one who shamelessly chased the male protagonist back then. It would be better if she left the male protagonist at the wedding and was sad for a while at most. Who knows what happened after that.
She also didn't expect that she would become a demon in the hero's heart and the cause of his schizophrenia.
Shouldn't she be more tactful then?
"Zheng Xiyao, since you were born, your family has been doting on you, and you have never been wronged. But because of your willfulness, the family has already paid the price."
"Between the family and you, my father and I chose you at that time. But now I will choose the family. Because there are also my relatives there."
Zheng Xiyao paused her fingers slightly.
Zheng Xiyao closed her eyes and responded in a low voice: "I love my family too, brother."
Zheng Siqi stood up and sighed: "I hope it is as you said. I will ask the family butler to help you tomorrow morning."
"good."
…
"Wow, is that Freya?"
"Yes, yes. Freya is actually here too."
"Can I go to her and get her autograph?"
"She's too beautiful."
It was obviously a grand banquet that brought together big figures from all walks of life, but now it has become a large-scale star-chasing scene.
Zheng Xiyao shook her head slightly and said with emotion: "No matter when and where, human beings love to chase those beautiful things."
System: [However, she is indeed beautiful. 】
Zheng Xiyao twisted her body uncomfortably, took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "The most beautiful woman in the world is not just a boast." 】
System: [Are you... okay? 】It looked worriedly at Zheng Xiyao raising her head and chest and trying to breathe.
Zheng Xiyao: [I feel that Zheng Siqi must be taking revenge on me. Otherwise, why would Nicole choose such a tight skirt for me. 】
After a systematic review: [Not necessarily, this skirt really suits you. 】
The purple-blue diamond-encrusted floor-length dress shines under the light. The hem is scattered with diamond-decorated satin, extending to the ground like a bright starry sky. The fair skin is slightly exposed through the fabric, which complements the luxury of the long skirt.
Zheng Xiyao struggled to find a place where she could borrow strength, still muttering: "Beauty always comes at a price." 】
"Be careful." A deep magnetic voice came from behind.
Zheng Xiyao knew who was behind her without looking back. She decisively avoided the man's hand holding her waist, and after standing elegantly, her whole movement was smooth and smooth.
"Blue Star Zheng Jia Xiyao meets the great Head of State Kangsi."
After waiting for a long time, the man said, "Mr. Zheng is not here?"
"Father is ill and has entrusted me to congratulate the head of state." Zheng Xiyao replied in a low voice.
The man didn't say anything and just walked past her.
"Who is that woman?"
"She seems to be Congressman Zheng's daughter."
"It turns out to be her. She's really beautiful."
"Who says it's not the case? Those purple eyes paired with this purple dress are really..."
"Charming fairy." A joking voice interrupted the gossiping women.
"Lord Arthur!"
Everyone exclaimed that Brand Arthur was a general who was not inferior to Marshal Hawke.
The noise here attracted Zheng Xiyao's attention. She looked at the crowd, and when she found out it was Arthur, she turned her gaze, her eyes always following the most eye-catching presence in the audience - Hawke.
Arthur narrowed his eyes and walked towards the woman.
Zheng Xiyao actually pays attention not to the male protagonist, but to Freya, the woman next to the male protagonist Hawke.
For some reason, Zheng Xiyao felt that this woman seemed familiar the last time she saw Freya in the live broadcast room, but it was clear that she had never seen her before.
"Don't they look like a good match?" A frivolous voice sounded in her ears.
Zheng Xiyao didn't look back, frowned and replied coldly: "Not really."
"Haha, I didn't expect that our Miss Zheng would be jealous."
Only then did Zheng Xiyao look at Arthur next to her: "I don't have one."
"Really. But everyone thinks that beauty and hero should be together."
"There are many beauties here, but more than one hero with meritorious deeds?"
Faced with Zheng Xiyao's rebuttal, Brand Arthur finally put down his careless attitude: "You are probably the only one here who thinks so."
Zheng Xiyao looked around and realized that everyone was looking at the golden boy in the center not only with envy but also with blessings. Except for Arthur next to him.
His eyes were staring at Freya as if there was nothing at all.
What did Zheng Xiyao seem to understand?
"You can't be..."
"come over."
At this time, the male protagonist in the distance shouted in their direction.
All eyes were focused on her and Arthur.
The male protagonist looked at them with deep and distant eyes.
