He thought he would leave Shengxiong to Xi Zhaoran.

On the day of the birthday banquet, Xi Zhaoran dawdled until the afternoon and waited until Tan Tianyang got off work before driving back to Xi's house with him.

Xi's father, Xi Jingshi, and Xi's mother, Xiao Hanzhu, had already returned to Xi's mansion to accompany the old man Xi. Even if they were acting, their acting skills were the best.So when they saw Xi Zhaoran who came later than most of the guests, their expressions were not very good.

Although it is Mrs. Xi's [-]th birthday, in fact, he only needs to show up at the banquet when necessary, and the rest will be entertained by his own housekeeper, Xi Jingshi, Xiao Hanzhu, and Xi Zhaoran. Of course, there will be more Most of the time, his housekeeper is the one to come forward, and the other three people only care about the friends they are familiar with more often, and other people may not be able to talk to them.For example, those who came to Xi Jingshi were all his contacts in the official career, Xiao Hanzhu also only cared about his friends, and the younger generation all defaulted to Xi Zhaoran.

Xi Zhaoran was wearing a well-fitting pure white suit today, with

With a perfect and elegant smile, with a glass of wine in his left hand pocket and right hand, as he walked around the hall, Jun's face turned a light red.After a lap, Tan Tianyang stopped him from pouring more wine.

"Tianyang, you can't stop me today," Xi Zhaoran simply leaned back against the wall, looking at him with a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be a half-smile, "Besides, I've listened to you very much and haven't smelled of alcohol for a long time. "

Tan Tianyang stood in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.

Xi Zhaoran looked back at him with a smile on his face, deliberately brought the glass wine glass in his hand to his mouth slowly, and kissed it lightly, his eyes still blinked when he was doing this series of beautiful and elegant movements Looking at him without blinking, the peach blossom eyes are full of seductive spring love.

Tan Tianyang's breathing was obviously tightened, and the palms placed by his side were also clenched.

——Some people, he just has the ability to seduce others gracefully.For example, Xi Zhaoran.

Tan Tianyang stared at him for a while, then softened his voice and whispered: "Don't drink too much, I will worry."

"Okay." Xi Zhaoran succeeded, and the smile on his face was even brighter.

Tan Tianyang sighed helplessly in his heart, sometimes he really has nothing to do with him, this wayward young master.

When the time came to the evening, more and more people came to the banquet, and the bigger the names, the later they came. Some of them didn't make it in time, so they sent people to give gifts directly.

Although Xi Zhaoran enjoyed drinking and chatting with others, he actually felt bored to death. It's not like Tan Tianyang sitting on the small sofa at home watching TV or something. Occasionally, he might be able to hook someone up to try a different environment.

Fortunately, Tan Tianyang also came with him, and he could occasionally flirt with him to relieve his boredom, otherwise he would be really bored and depressed to death.

The climax of the whole banquet was when Mrs. Xi came out to meet everyone, and picked out some presents at random to unwrap, in response to the occasion.

It's a pity that the gifts given to the old people are all the same, and there is really nothing new—of course, no one dares to give him something too innovative, after all, he is the chairman of the Shengxiong Group—but the boss of Lai Xi's family Most of the people were still "excited to watch" for Mrs. Xi's face. Xi Zhaoran stood on the side and was so bored that he wanted to take a nap. Tan Tianyang saw that his face was faintly red, and knew that he was a little drunk, and just wanted him to find a place to rest All of a sudden, a slight voice from his ear made his eyes widen. He turned around almost instantly and snatched the gift box from the hand of a person passing by him.

"Tianyang..." Xi Zhaoran was taken aback by his actions.

As soon as the box arrived in his hand, Tan Tianyang felt that the weight was wrong. He glanced at Xi Zhaoran and then another because his

He moved and looked at all kinds of eyes in surprise, finally nodded to Xi Zhaoran, and said: "There is a problem with the box, I will deal with it."

"I'll go with you." Xi Zhaoran said immediately.

Tan Tianyang originally wanted to refuse, but he thought that if he left, there would be no one around Xi Zhaoran to protect him, which made him even more worried, so he finally nodded.

The movement here also attracted the attention of the three elders of the Xi family, but the reactions of the three were different. Xi Shengxiong motioned for the butler who was by his side to take a look.

According to Tan Tianyang's intention, Xi Zhaoran took him to the back garden of Xi's house, and there was no one else there at the moment.

Tan Tianyang put the box in his hand on the open space in the garden, and looked up at the housekeeper who followed him.

"Master, Mr. Tan," the housekeeper who was over [-] smiled and nodded at the two, and asked, "What's wrong with this gift box?"

"Let Tianyang open it first." Xi Zhaoran took the initiative to answer the conversation, he knew that Tan Tianyang's sudden movement must be because he had noticed something, but it's hard to explain it now.

Tan Tianyang signaled the two to back off, while he stretched out his hand to untie the ribbon on the box, and lifted the lid of the gift box. Sure enough, he saw a blinking timer inside, which was exactly the same as that installed on many time bombs. The faint "didi" sound of time flowing made the other two gasp, but Tan Tianyang's next action made the two of them stare straight - he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the top Pulling down the timer, he took two quick steps back, at the same time the box made a "bang" sound, and a round thing rolled out, with a sticky blood red color.

It's a human head!

"Who did this!" The butler gasped, staring fixedly at the bloody head.

"Tianyang, are you okay?" Xi Zhaoran was more concerned about the "dangerous" Tan Tianyang. He grabbed his hands and checked to make sure that there was no skin loss, but he couldn't help asking. Afraid that he would get hurt where he didn't see it.

"It's okay." Tan Tianyang shook his head.

Xi Zhaoran did not have any problems hearing his voice, so he was really relieved.

"How did you know what was in the box just now?" Xi Zhaoran asked curiously when he saw that the housekeeper couldn't help running to find someone to deal with it.

"I heard the sound of the timer and thought it was a bomb. When I grabbed it, I felt the weight was wrong, and I smelled blood," Tan Tianyang explained briefly. He took a step forward and glanced at the head, then turned his head to ask Xi Zhaoran, "Do you know this person?"

Xi Zhaoran also took a closer look.

He looked at him, and said uncertainly: "It looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere..." When he said this, Xi Shengxiong's housekeeper had already called several people over, even Xi's father and Xi's mother followed, but Xi The old man didn't come, and there were guests at the gate in the distance looking here curiously, but they were stopped by the Xi family's bodyguards.

Seeing people coming, Xi Zhaoran stopped the topic, reached out and tugged at Tan Tianyang's clothes, signaling them to leave first.

Tan Tianyang nodded, and went to Xi Zhai's washroom together with Xi Zhaoran regardless of the people who followed him.Xi Zhaoran pulled him to the sink, turned on the faucet, and told him to wash his hands—even though Tan Tianyang only held the box with his hand, he didn't want him to suffer bad luck because of the box, even though he didn't believe it before, But at this moment, he hoped that he hadn't snatched the box. Anyway, with Xi Shengxiong's courage, he would definitely not scare him too much. At most, the birthday party would be a little messy.

"Tianyang, don't you think it's strange?" Xi Zhaoran leaned against the sink and asked with a frown.

"Huh?" Tan Tianyang didn't understand what he meant, and looked up at him suspiciously while washing his hands.

"If the other party wants to send a human head to demonstrate or has other intentions, why would he put a timer on it... what..." Before he finished speaking, something crossed their minds at the same time, and they asked in surprise. Take a look—the timer just now!Tan Tianyang looked down at his hands, only to remember that when he followed Xi Zhaoran just now, he left things in place.

Just when the two wanted to continue their discussion, there was a sudden knock on the bathroom door. Tan Tianyang subconsciously pulled Xi Zhaoran to his side and looked towards the door.

The door was pushed open, and a man walked in.

"You..." Xi Zhaoran was very surprised to see the person coming, even a little dumbfounded.

"Young Master Xi, long time no see." The man nodded to the two with a smile, and finally fixed his gaze on Xi Zhaoran.

"...It's really been a long time, Dong Jinghe." Xi Zhaoran also nodded to him, and the expression on his face quickly returned to normal. He was wondering if this man followed them all the way, as if he came to find them specially.

"Hehe," the man named Dong Jinghe has a rather handsome face, and he is full of righteousness and heroism, with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, and a straight outline, but he has a very comfortable smile on his face, like The big brother next door who was talking homely, "Has it been more than four years? I think you are doing well now. How about Dongyang? How is he?"

When Xi Zhaoran heard Shao Dongyang's name, he looked up at him and didn't speak for a while.

"Why, you haven't contacted him for a long time?" Dong Jinghe asked in surprise seeing that he didn't speak.

"No, he's fine." Xi Zhaoran shook his head, but didn't answer his second question.He knew something about these two people back then, but at that time he didn't have the heart to pay more attention to other people's affairs, so he didn't know much about it. Now when he suddenly saw Dong Jinghe, he suddenly understood the situation of these two people back then.

"Are you still in contact with him? Can you ask him out for a meeting? I have something to say to him." Dong Jinghe didn't seem to feel Xi Zhaoran's scrutiny, and said what he wanted to say.

Xi Zhaoran looked at him for a while, then suddenly pulled out a
