[Net King + Black Basket] Seijuro, your mother calls you to go home for dinner!

On the afternoon of the banquet, Dianzi took Xunli to Matsumoto's house on a whim, mysteriously saying that it was to give her the birthday present she had prepared for a long time in advance.Xunli, who almost forgot her birthday, was moved for a moment, so she agreed, and got into her car in a daze to go to Songyuan's house.

It was only halfway through the car that she yelled in her heart that she was not good, she made a mistake!

Poor Seijuro and Masashi were left behind by her, and Xun Li felt sorry for not being able to see her precious son dressed up for the first time.

By the way, in order to meet the needs of the children and emphasize the importance of them, Dianzi vacated the lounge next to the banquet site for the children to have fun. The communication skills of these young adults are much more immature than adults, so it will definitely be interesting screen.

Xunli's birthday is at the end of November, and there is no need for Dianzi to give her a gift half a month earlier, anyway, they always have a chance to meet.I don't know if Dianzi felt that the limelight was not right, so he deliberately invited her to Songyuan's house with a gift.

Asked about the doubts in her heart, Noriko smiled calmly and said that another reason was that the dress she ordered had just been delivered to Matsubara's house. She wanted to surprise Atobe, so she went to the main house to get dressed before returning to Atobe's house.

"Of course, mother also prepared gifts."

"Huh?" Xun Li was stunned, she had no impression of Mrs. Song Yuan who was obedient to her husband.The other party has always ignored her, and his smile is extremely false.

Speaking of which, there were more than three hours before the banquet, but Dianzi told her not to prepare anything.Could it be that she had to go to the banquet in plain clothes?

Mrs. Songyuan greeted them warmly. After her eyes touched her own daughter, her tone was much gentler, and her brighter smile didn't look like a fake.

She held Dianzi and Xunli's wrists affectionately, without a trace of unnaturalness.On the contrary, Xunli felt awkward all over, as if he had been stung several times by bees.

Fortunately, Mrs. Songyuan didn't say a word about the money laundering case, and she showed her love for Xunli and her grandson Xiaozheng in name between the lines.

She was a little dazed. Was Madam Matsubara's disguise too good, or was it that Akashi Nanami hadn't released any rumors yet?Or maybe, the devil's mother was just trying to scare her?

Xun Li immediately ruled out the last item, she never believed that Akashi Nanami was someone who could take a joke.Asking herself, she can't help the Songyuan family, but if something really happens to her father, she can't gloat and watch the show.

Mrs. Matsubara took them to the fitting room, and brought a beautifully packaged box to Xunli like magic.

"Open it up and see."

"……thanks."

She carefully unwrapped the bow tied to the box, unwrapped it with curiosity for a birthday present, touched the soft skirt fabric with her fingertips, and gently sketched the lines and patterns on it.Women are always irresistible to beautiful clothes.

"This is one of the works released by Alexander McQueen in the autumn of 2010, and it was also his last design." Dianzi sighed, it was hard to imagine that her mother actually bought such an expensive skirt. "The name McQueen gave it was SwanSong - the song of the swan."

It was probably the first and last gift Mrs. Matsubara gave Xunli.She shook off the significant dress, only gray and white.At first glance, it looks simple and pure, but in fact, the details are very cleverly designed.Based on pure white, the gray pattern painted on it looks like the wings of a swan. The streamlined design elongates the waist. The V-neck design reveals a beautiful collarbone. Every step a person takes is like a swan flapping its wings, exuding a dignified, elegant and otherworldly posture.

Xun Li's surprise was written all over her face, and she had to admit that she loved this gift very much.Dianzi couldn't wait to ask her to change into them for them to see.

"Thank you." She turned to Mrs. Matsubara and thanked her sincerely.

"Fortunately, you are tall and can support this suit." Dianzi looked around with satisfaction, conjuring an exquisite mask out of nowhere.

"Hey, do you think I'm Cinderella?" Xun Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't know where to put his slender arms, and he always felt uncomfortable.

"It's a pity that I didn't prepare the crystal slipper, so let's use a mask instead." She handed the mask to her jokingly. "But don't forget, you have to take off your mask at midnight."

Xun Li curled his lips bored, thinking that he could save the part of makeup.

Dressed up, the two slender women got into the car with their arms in their arms and headed for Atobe House.Dianzi wore a classic wine-red off-the-shoulder dress, paired with black hair and red lips, which was both flamboyant and domineering, with a touch of bewitchment in the nobility and retro.She will be able to overwhelm all the women in the audience and become a little red among the flowers.

Dianzi had a whim to prepare an open-air dance, but had to give up this stupid idea under Xunli's persuasion.No woman wants to dance on the dance floor in the cold wind at the beginning of November and risk being frozen into a popsicle. Of course, for Atobe, who has always pursued luxury, there is nothing impossible to do, but this project is too huge.

Noriko and the others were not the last to arrive, but there were already gentlemen and ladies waiting in line at the left and right entrances of the Atobe House banquet hall.Xunli made an agreement with Yashi to send her a message when he arrives.

"You are too nervous about your son." Dianzi said straight away.

"Hey, I understand my son very well, he can only feel at ease when he sees me." Xun Li blinked, and the phone in his hand vibrated suddenly. "Ah, here they come—"

She caught sight of the conspicuous tall red head among the guests arriving one after another, and immediately lifted the hem of her skirt and walked quickly towards them.

I have to say that Masashi's outfit tonight is very eye-catching. The bangs that usually hang on his forehead are pulled back, revealing his white and smooth forehead, making his facial features more three-dimensional and handsome.A white pinstriped shirt with a silver-gray suit fully expresses the phrase "a man who can manage a three-piece suit is definitely a handsome guy".

Xunli was just surprised, but the focus was on Seijuro——

It seems that it was right to entrust him to Masashi. Seijuro is wearing a dark red suit with golden pattern buttons that matches his hair very well. Inside is a black shirt with a dark red fine-striped tie. A closer look at the tie is actually traditional. double Windsor knot.

"Xiao Zheng—"

Xunli's eyes were red, and he rushed straight to Seijuro who was stunned, and rubbed his hands around his neck.He is not afraid of rubbing the blush that adorns his cheeks onto the collar of his black shirt.

"Mom... There are still people watching." He shook his head helplessly, but didn't push her away.

Xunli let go of Seijuro, turned around in front of him, and asked him how he was doing complacently.A blush flashed across Seijuro's face, he nodded and said he was beautiful.

Before entering the arena, Xunli did not forget to take a selfie with Seijuro.Ever since she posted a daily photo of the two of them together on twitter, her fans have been rising all the way, and a large number of aunts are begging for more photos.

Masashi stood aside and laughed dumbfounded, thinking that she really looked like a naive high school student at the prom.However, being directly ignored by Xun Li made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"It is true that people rely on clothing, and Buddha depends on gold clothing."

Xunli deliberately pretended not to understand what he said, stood up and smiled like a flower, "Thank you for the compliment."

The two, who are dressed in the same gray tone, look very well-matched standing together.Perhaps aware of this, before entering the arena, she insisted on grabbing the one big and one who were walking towards the venue, put her head between them, and pointed her mobile phone at the three heads to "click".

——Life is complete~

The father and son were used to her indirect convulsions, they looked at each other helplessly, and sighed with a high synchronization rate.

"I'll go first if there's nothing to do."

"Mom, wait a minute."

"Hmm...it's fun!"

Xun Li gazed at the precious selfie of a family of three with emotion, at this moment she was the happiest woman in the world.

However, Akashi Nanami's words were like a hammer, hitting her soft heart heavily.

……

Xunli put on a mask and entered the venue. She was dazzled by the bouquet of flowers placed in front of the long table. She wanted to choose her favorite lavender, but found that someone had already chosen it.

Disappointed, she chose a bouquet of lilies and put it on her wrist, and found that the plain color matched her dress better, and her mood eased a little.

Masashi and Xunli both had an indifferent attitude towards the banquet. On the contrary, those gentlemen and ladies who were not married or had chosen a good partner regarded it as a perfect blind date meeting. carnival".However, in view of the fact that the husband and wife usually agree in advance which flower to choose, there is rarely the possibility of an oolong,

For example, the Atobe couple who take the gorgeous route, the Chiba rose has almost become their symbol, and no one dares to choose red roses to wear on their bodies without authorization.

The experience of not knowing each other while wearing a mask is very fresh, but it also makes Xunli feel insecure.She stood at the entrance blankly, not daring to move.

I really want to get away...

The ladies around were eager to find a man with the same bouquet as them, so Xunli, with a tense face, decided to go to the second floor to get some snacks to fill his stomach.

She walked up the carved stairs slowly, where there happened to be a small sofa for the guests to rest, and several ladies whose identities she could not tell were holding drinks and preparing to go down.

One of the women, with a bouquet of lavender tied in her hand, passed her by, and the silk texture brushed her hand, which made her inevitably look at him.Judging from her posture and demeanor, she must have a lot of background.

"Vanessa~here here—"

She was even more surprised at the back, the raised voice made her immediately guess the identity of the short-haired woman standing in front of the bar.

"You're here? No, I mean, you're coming?" And she didn't expect Mai to recognize herself at the first sight.

"Hmm, I'm also invited~" She played with the crystal goblet in her hand and wore a bouquet of violets on her wrist.

Meeting an acquaintance made Xunli feel relieved, so he simply took a glass of wine and sat face to face with her on the sofa for a drink.At this time, there were only a few people here and there on the second floor.

"I said, how did you get this McQueen series of dresses? He is my dream lover." Mai turned her gaze around her and said.

"It's a pity that the great designer went to the embrace of God."

"Well... let's not talk about that. How are you doing?"

"What about you? Have you won the glass (trophy) for the crown match?"

"I don't like the shape of the trophy at all." Mai puffed out her mouth dejectedly after being poked at the sore spot. "Also, don't change the subject easily!"

After thinking twice, Kaoru revealed the general situation of Akashi Nanami to her. Mai has grown so fast over the years and handles difficult things properly. From a certain point of view, he is more mature than Kaoru.

After hearing this, she didn't think it was incredible at all, "Sister, there is nothing good about Akashi's house, so go back to North America as soon as possible."

Xun Li knew she was joking and shrugged helplessly.

"Maybe I should prepare for the worst. But don't make me withdraw completely...I won't give up Xiaozheng easily."

Mai leaned on her forehead and laughed, "Gosh! Is that boy Seijuro the only male protagonist who can be captured? You also have a good man Masashi by your side."

Xunli glanced at her strangely, unable to imagine that this was the first time her picky sister made a positive comment on Masashi.

Melodious music came from downstairs, and couples of men and women embracing each other slid onto the dance floor.Xun Li seemed to be a bystander, sympathizing with his cannon fodder partner who chose lilies like himself, while thinking about how to get through this boring night.

Mai, however, turned her head to the side and looked at the scene downstairs with great interest, commenting on the dress of a certain lady and gentleman from time to time, most of which were complaints.

"Wait, isn't that—" She suddenly widened her eyes and her pupils shrank sharply. "Look!"

She hastily grabbed Xunli's hand to signal her to look down, Xunli could only see the colorful skirt, and felt dazzled for a while.

"Why are you so nervous all of a sudden?" She shook her head amusedly.After listening to Mai's words and looking at someone on the dance floor, an exclamation broke out in his throat, "—I'm sub-Ao!"
