Chapter 146 You really like my gift?
The Prime Minister's wife, as expected of someone who has seen many important occasions, instantly put on a smile, gracefully turned to the guests, and said softly, "Please don't mind her, she's just a child and doesn't understand. Yingying wouldn't really be angry."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Ren Yingying was like a powder keg that had been lit. Her cheeks puffed up with anger, and she thought to herself: "Don't know any better? They're clearly ganging up on me!"
Seeing that things were not going well, Su Yingxue slowly stood up, her posture upright, and spoke on behalf of Xiao Qi in a humble yet assertive manner: "Miss Ren, Xiao Qi is young. If she has offended you in any way, I apologize on her behalf."
"It was just a child's unintentional act. If Miss Ren can't even take a joke like this, then I can only apologize again."
Having said that, he took Xiaoqi's little hand and made a move to leave this place of trouble.
Just then, a slight commotion arose in the crowd.
Everyone instinctively stepped aside to make way.
Emperor Tan Zhengchu, dressed in a sharp suit and wearing a mysterious clown mask, walked slowly and steadily towards them.
His gaze swept across everyone's faces.
Finally, the voice focused on the Prime Minister's wife, deep yet authoritative: "Madam, this Miss Ren doesn't seem very friendly towards children."
When the Prime Minister's wife saw Tan Zhengchu, her expression tightened instantly. She thought to herself: This man has a mysterious identity and enormous power. I must not offend him because of my daughter's recklessness.
He remained impassive, but secretly tightened his grip on Ren Yingying's clothes, his eyes conveying a warning and hint.
The Prime Minister's wife leaned close to Ren Yingying's ear, lowered her voice, and commanded in an unquestionable tone: "Yingying, quick, tell Xiaoqi that you like her 'surprise,' but don't cause any trouble."
Ren Yingying's eyes widened, her face filled with shock and anger. When had she ever suffered such an injustice?
She was asked to apologize to a child, a child brought by Zhao Da Kuang.
How could she possibly swallow this insult!
But her mother's gaze was so resolute that she froze on the spot, unsure whether to move forward or backward.
The Prime Minister's wife stood beside the disheveled Ren Yingying, frequently exchanging glances, her eyes filled with anxiety and hints.
Ren Yingying, however, seemed oblivious. Her chest continued to heave violently, and her cheeks were bulging, clearly still angry.
The Prime Minister's wife sighed inwardly; she knew her daughter's personality all too well.
They are used to being pampered and treated like royalty, and they can't stand being "bullied" in public like this.
She coughed lightly, leaned close to Ren Yingying's ear, and whispered, "Yingying, your father just instructed that you accompany Emperor Yueye (Tan Zhengchu) to Zhao Dakuang's house for a few days."
Ren Yingying's eyes, which were originally full of anger, suddenly lit up.
A barely perceptible smile flashed across her face, her lips curled up slightly, and her voice held a hint of smugness: "Really? Okay, I'll go."
Ren Yingying took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and looked up at Xiao Qi, her eyes so cold they could freeze.
She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Okay, Xiao Qi, I'll accept this 'gift'."
Anyone could see that these words at the front were just perfunctory.
She only swallowed her anger because she could go to Zhao Da Kuang's house.
Xiaoqi blinked her bright eyes, tilted her head, and asked with an innocent look, "Aunt Ren, do you really like my gift?"
Ren Yingying gave an impatient "hmm".
Xiaoqi received an affirmative answer, raised her little face, and called out to the guests in a clear voice, "Uncles and aunts, Aunt Ren really likes this gift, why don't you give her some too?"
The guests were taken aback at first, then a few young people exchanged smiles, eager to try.
Before Ren Yingying could react, a piece of cake flew over with a "whoosh" and landed squarely on her face again.
"Ah! You all..."
Ren Yingying screamed, waving her hands wildly, extremely angry, looking as if she wanted to devour someone.
Seeing this, the Prime Minister's wife stepped forward, spread her arms to protect Ren Yingying, and raised her voice, saying, "Everyone, stop making a scene! So many eyes are watching, don't make things too difficult for Yingying."
"Come on, let's dance! Yingying, hurry up and change your clothes and get ready."
After saying that, he swept his sharp gaze across the guests who still wanted to join in the fun.
Seeing this, everyone wisely dispersed and headed towards the dance floor.
Zhao Da Kuang strode straight toward Tan Zhengchu (Moonlight Emperor), who was talking to Su Yingxue.
With his tall stature, he quickly blocked Tan Zhengchu's view of Su Yingxue.
Zhao Dakang turned slightly to face Su Yingxue and said seriously, "Yingxue, I want to tell you that we will be having a lot of guests coming to the house later. Yueye Di and Ren Yingying are both coming."
Su Yingxue listened calmly, nodded slightly, and replied softly, "Alright, it's your home, so you naturally have the right to invite anyone."
As he spoke, he bent down, picked up Xiaoqi, and prepared to leave.
The little one was behaving obediently in her arms. Su Yingxue looked up at Zhao Dakang and asked, "Can Xiaoqi and I leave the banquet now? Xiaoqi is a little sleepy."
Zhao Da Kuang nodded without hesitation, raised his hand and gently patted Xiao Qi's head, saying in a gentle voice, "Go ahead, you go first and wait for me on the plane. I'll come over as soon as I've made the arrangements here."
After giving his instructions, he turned to face Tan Zhengchu, extended his hand, and said with a perfectly timed smile, "Emperor Moonlit Night, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."
A sharp glint flashed in Tan Zhengchu's eyes, hidden behind the mask, but it vanished in an instant.
He then nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing this, Zhao Er, who was standing to the side, made a "please" gesture to Tan Zhengchu in perfect unison.
The third brother followed silently behind Tan Zhengchu.
The three of them walked steadily out of the banquet hall together.
The lighting in the lounge was soft.
The Prime Minister's wife stood behind Ren Yingying, gently tidying her disheveled hair with both hands, and said softly, "Yingying, your father is hoping that you and Emperor Yueye can develop feelings for each other."
"Although this Moonlit Emperor wears a mask, his methods and abilities are top-notch in Myanmar. Many people want to curry favor with him but have no chance."
"Besides, Zhao Da Kuang already has a family, so you should stop obsessing over him."
Ren Yingying's brows furrowed instantly. She turned her head sharply and said angrily, "Mom, I won't do it! That Moonlit Emperor wears a mask, who knows how ugly he is? How can he compare to Zhao Da Kuang?"
"I only have Zhao Da Kuang in my heart; I have no interest in anyone else."
Looking at her daughter's stubborn expression, the Prime Minister's wife sighed helplessly, gently patted Ren Yingying's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Yingying, think about it, how can a man who doesn't love you have eyes for you?"
"From now on, you have to plan for yourself. If you can get together with Emperor Yueye, it will be a great thing for you and for our family."
Ren Yingying looked in the mirror again, raised her hand to tidy the hair at her temples, and said confidently with a slight smile, "Mom, don't worry about me, I have my own plans."
"Look, I've tidied myself up now, I'm going to Zhao Da Kuang's house now."
With that, she lifted her skirt and left the lounge with light steps, her eyes filled with the joy of heading to her dream destination.
The Prime Minister's wife stood there, watching Ren Yingying's cheerful departing figure, shaking her head repeatedly, her heart and eyes filled with worry.
She muttered to herself, "Why is this child so stubborn?"
"I hope she can listen to my advice and get along well with Emperor Yueye. That's the right path. It's both her father's expectation and a good match for her."
