Chapter 238 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet

When Ling Yi and Teng stopped one after another, there was no sound of frogs or wind around them, and the air was quiet, as if the hourglass of time had stopped flowing at this moment.

"Miss Ling."

The person who broke this mysterious quiet atmosphere was the voice of the maid who came out to look for Ling Yi.

Teng's expressionless face put on an innocent smile again, "Yiyi~"

Ling Yi raised her head and met his meaningful eyes.

"This flower is for you." Teng handed the red rose in his hand to Ling Yi.

Looking at the red rose in his hand, Ling Yi's pupils shrank slightly.

The night added a dark color to the roses on the vine.

The obscure red is like the scarlet liquid in their veins, making people sick, scared, disgusted and... happy.

Teng looked at her, the smile on his face became brighter, and he handed the red rose in his hand forward.

"Yiyi, I just went to the greenhouse in the garden to pick this flower for you, don't you like it?"

Ling Yi stretched out her hand stiffly, and slowly took the rose from his hand.

"Thank you, I like it very much." In just one breath, her voice returned to its usual calmness.

At this moment, the maid came to the two of them.

The maid took one look at the impeccable innocent smile on Teng's face, and felt relieved after confirming that he could not pose any threat to their family head.

A child whose IQ is only a few years old, how does he know the meaning of giving roses to women?

"Miss Ling, it's time for you to prepare supper for the Patriarch."

Ling Yi glanced at the time on the phone.

21: 30.

"I'll go back and get ready."

Ling Yi waved to Teng, "Shall we go back?"

Teng smiled and nodded.

"Do you need me to cook you something to eat?" Ling Yi asked.

Teng and Ling Yi walked side by side, and the maid silently followed behind them.

Hearing Ling Yi's words, the maid's heart suddenly lifted, and she looked up at the backs of the two of them.

Although the head of their family doesn't show it on the surface, he is a very possessive person in his heart. If he knows that Miss Ling, who only cooks for him, wants to share the things she cooks with people other than him, then...

Teng's voice was crisp and clear: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."

Hearing Teng's answer, Ling Yi said nothing more, and the maid let go of the heart she was holding.

After returning to the living room, Teng sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. He deliberately imitated the actions of an adult and waved to Ling Yi, "Go and cook, I'll watch TV here."

You know, 'he' promised Li Yan that he would go back with him.

Ling Yi looked at the brighter and brighter smile on his face, didn't say anything, turned around and went into the kitchen.

Although Si Qingcang didn't force her to cook every meal after coming here, but every night at this time, he asked her to cook him a supper.

When Ling Yi came out of the kitchen with the noodles she had cooked, she inadvertently glanced at the sofa in the living room, but found that there was no one there.

Before Ling Yi could ask, the maid standing behind her quickly said: "The housekeeper just came down from the second floor and left with the young gentleman."

housekeeper?

Is it Uncle Li?

"Knock, knock." The maid knocked on the door of the study for her, and then left.

Ling Yi looked at the fragrant noodles on the tray, took a deep breath, and pushed all the messy thoughts in her heart back to the deepest part of the spiritual sea.

Ling Yi, who was looking at the noodles in the bowl, suddenly had her eyes blurred. Before she could react, the tray in her hand was in the hands of another person.

"Would you like to come in and read for a while before going back to sleep?" A gentle voice sounded.

Ling Yi looked up at the empty study room behind him, and shook her head.

"I'm a little tired today and don't want to read."

"Alright then." Si Qingcang looked at Ling Yi disappointedly, "Hurry up and go back to sleep."

Another unhappy day when he failed to lure his Yiyi into the study.

Ling Yi waved to him and left.

----

"Yiyi!" Teng threw the thornless rose on Ling Yi's body.

"I've called you several times, why don't you respond?" Teng pouted a little dissatisfied.

The baby-faced Teng was wearing a light blue casual suit. He stood up from the flowers, pinched his waist with his hands, and looked at Ling Yi angrily.

Looking at the vines with scattered red petals on the clothes, Ling Yi blinked her almond eyes dully.

As the vine said that night, destroying the red flowers has gradually become unable to satisfy her.

In the past few days, whenever she was about to fall asleep at night, she would stare blankly at the blue veins on her wrist for a while.

Every time she was in a daze, she felt like there was a voice in her heart tempting her.

Make a cut here, and when the thick blood flows out, you won't be in such pain anymore.

Ling Yi clearly knew that although she was not yet bewitched by the voice, she could not hold on much longer.

"Yiyi~" Teng waved his hand in front of Lingyi.

Looking at her dull almond eyes, Teng stomped his feet, "Why are you ignoring me?"

"Sorry!" Seeing the dissatisfaction on his face, Ling Yi said, "I was thinking about something just now, and my mind was a little distracted."

Teng wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction, "What are you thinking?"

What can you think about so preoccupied that you ignore the big living person standing in front of you?
Teng, who was ignored by his little friend, was very dissatisfied.

Looking at the red petals on his body, Ling Yi groaned, "I was thinking..."

She casually pointed to the two seas of red flowers in the garden, "I'm wondering which of these two kinds of flowers looks better."

Teng followed her gaze.

"I think the flowers on the left look better."

Ling Yi looked at the two kinds of flowers in her random fingers.

Red Phalaenopsis and Oxblood Lilies.

The flower on the left that the vine spoke of was... the bullblood lily.

Ling Yi looked at Teng, "Why do you think the flowers on the left look better?"

"Because the color of the flower on the left is prettier than the color of the flower on the right!" Teng said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Ling Yi's fingertips trembled slightly. Compared with the red phalaenopsis, the color of oxblood lily is more similar to the color of blood in the human body.

"Yiyi~" Teng blinked at Ling Yi with big bright eyes, "Li Yan said that there will be many guests here tonight."

Ling Yi hummed absentmindedly.

"He also said there would be a lot of delicious food tonight."

"Correct."

"Then—" Teng dragged out his tone, trying to arouse Ling Yi's curiosity.

Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.

Looking at Ling Yi who was not moved at all, Teng pursed his lips, twisted his hands together, and looked at her pitifully.

Facing the vine that was only short of writing a few big characters on his face.

A fleeting smile appeared on Ling Yi's face.

"Then..." Ling Yi imitated his protracted tone, "Can I invite you to today's dinner?"

What she said made Teng almost jump up with joy.

Facing Ling Yi's smiling eyes, he coughed like Li Yan's usual way, and then nodded his head pretending to be reserved.

"Since you sincerely invite me, I will agree to it."

Thinking of that guy Li Yan, Teng snorted in his heart.

After seeing Li Yan in the villa tonight, he must make fun of him.

Aren't you going to let him go to the banquet tonight?
He insisted on going in and having a good meal, and was so angry with the guy who refused to take him in for a meal no matter what.

Thinking of Li Yan's face that turned blue with anger, Teng narrowed his eyes happily, and even the resentment in his heart about being ignored by his friends disappeared.

"Yiyi, you are so kind." My friend is so awesome.

Think about Li Yan who was stalked by him all morning and refused to take him in, and then look at Ling Yi who invited him to dinner in the villa without him saying anything, what Teng said was very sincere .

Seeing Teng stretching out her hand, Ling Yi laughed.

"I'll ask the maid to get you an invitation later. But you have to promise me one thing."

"You said."

"In it tonight, you can only eat and not make trouble."

On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival feast is a festival that the main family and branch families of the Si family celebrate together. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is the first banquet held by Si Qingcang since he became the head of the Si family.

Therefore, this banquet tonight has an extraordinary meaning.

Although no one who doesn't have a good eye will make trouble tonight, but just in case, Ling Yi still wants to tell Teng.

"Okay!" Teng agreed to her words simply.

Anyway, he just wanted to go in and have a good meal, just to be angry with Li Yan.

Seeing his straightforward response, although Ling Yi felt that what he said did not have a high credit value, she didn't say anything more.

Anyway, she had already made up her mind to stay in a hidden corner when she attended the banquet at night.

If Teng was making trouble inside tonight, she would tuck him into the corner and watch him alone.

However, Ling Yi failed to squeeze the vine into the corner.

because……

In order to prevent Ling Yi from being like the last time he attended Mayor Qian's mother's birthday party in Jingzhou, Si Qingcang randomly found a hidden place to hide when he was not careful. After Ling Yi put on makeup and changed into a dress, Si Qingcang , he held Ling Yi tightly.

Until almost all the people came to attend the dinner, he did not let go of Ling Yi.

After Ling Yi struggled a few times, in order not to make a joke in front of the people who were looking at the two of them, she quietly acted as a mobile vase next to Si Qingcang.

Teng came in very late. When he entered the banquet hall with the invitation provided by Ling Yi, he looked at Li Yan who was following his little friend, and made a special face for him.

Seeing Li Yan's discolored face, Teng laughed and ran into the crowd.

When Teng ran into the crowd, Si Qingcang glanced at the woman standing next to him as a mural.

Ling Yi looked at him with a standard smile on her face.

Si Qingcang patted her hand and said nothing.

"cousin!"

Looking at the young man walking towards him, the polite smile on Si Qingcang's face became more sincere.

He let go of Ling Yi's hand and hugged the visitor.

"Bochin."

Ling Yi, who was let go by him, had a smile on her face, and quietly took a step back to stand with Uncle Li.

Unfortunately, as soon as she stood firm, Si Qingcang pulled her back to him.

"Yiyi, come here. Let me introduce you. This is Si Boqin, my cousin."

He is also the only relative he recognizes in the Si family.

Ling Yi nodded to the young version of Si Boqin.

There were so many people coming to the banquet tonight, but Si Boqin was the only person Si Qingcang introduced her to.

"Boqin, this is Ling Yi, just call her sister."

Hearing his words, Si Boqin raised his eyebrows, and took a meaningful look at his hand on Ling Yi's shoulder.

"Sister Ling Yi, hello!" Si Boqin stretched out a hand.

"Hello."

But Ling Yi couldn't shake his hand.

Because when she was about to raise her arm, Si Qingcang held her two hands together.

Si Boqin put down his hands and glanced at his cousin.

He's so possessive, and he's so jealous that he gets it. It seems like his cousin hasn't settled the deal yet!
Facing his teasing gaze, Si Qingcang gritted his molars.

"Sooner or later, there will be a day when you will call her cousin."

Si Boqin raised his eyebrows.

"I'll wait and see."

It's been three years and he hasn't settled a woman yet, Si Boqin feels that his cousin is simply weak.

Seeing the contempt in his eyes, Si Qingcang's excitement of seeing his relatives on this day of reunion completely disappeared.

"Good boy!" Si Qingcang raised his hand and patted Si Boqin's shoulder hard, "We won't go home until we're drunk today."

Feeling the strength in his hand, Si Boqin's face contorted for a moment due to the pain.

"Uncle Li..."

Li Yan stood behind Si Qingcang and watched the two of them exchange feelings with a smile.

But when the bodyguard at the door came in and whispered a few words in his ear, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Patriarch, there is a general from the Wu family in the capital." Uncle Li took a step closer and whispered.

Hearing his words, Si Qingcang and Si Boqin frowned at the same time.

What are the people from the Wu family doing here?
The two looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.

However, this should be good news for Ling Yi.

Because, after hearing Uncle Li's words, Si Qingcang finally let go of Ling Yi's hand.

"Yiyi, I'm going out to pick up someone, you can stay alone for a while, okay?"

Ling Yi nodded quickly, "Okay."

She couldn't ask for more.

After Si Qingcang left, Ling Yi walked to a hidden corner and removed the smile on his face.

While rubbing her uncomfortable face with a smile, she used her eyes to search around for the figure of the vine.

When Si Qingcang brought the general of the Wu family into the living room, Ling Yi finally saw Teng's back.

Looking at Teng in the crowd, Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to walk over, Teng suddenly turned around and showed her a bright smile.

Seeing the overly bright smile on Teng's face, Ling Yi was taken aback.

While she was in a daze, the vine disappeared from her sight again.

But this time, Ling Yi didn't look for him again.

because……

A week later, the real vine reappeared.
