BXBX NOVEL Chapter 210 - 210: Did You Take a Picture of What I Told You Before?
When Xiao Yichen heard Xu Yanxi’s voice, he glanced over and noticed her approaching.
Xu Yanxi reached Xiao Yichen and introduced him to her best friends before he could say anything.
“This is my boyfriend, Xiao Yichen,” Xu Yanxi stated, promptly moving to Xiao Yichen’s side, linking her arm with his.
When Xiao Yichen heard Xu Yanxi’s introduction, he wanted to object and, at the same time, break free from her hand.
“Sorry, I’m not…” A woman’s voice preempted the words that Xiao Yichen was about to utter.
“Xiao Yichen, 1 know him. He’s the CEO of the Eastern Empire,” one woman said.
The others chimed in.
“That’s right. I was wondering why he looked so familiar. So he’s a prominent figure in Ancheng City.”
“Yanxi, congratulations on having such an outstanding boyfriend.”
“When is the wedding? Yanxi, count me in as your bridesmaid.”
Upon listening to her friends’ comments, Xu Yanxi felt thrilled. She tightened her grip on Xiao Yichen’s arm and answered, “Soon. I’ll let everyone know in advance. You all must attend my wedding.”
“Absolutely. True friends are there to support.”
“Definitely. I’ll give you a generous red envelope on your big day.”
“Yanxi, let’s have an early wedding. I’ll cover your bridal makeup. I’ll do your makeup for free.”
“Thank you, thank you, everyone.” Xu Yanxi was overjoyed.
Xiao Yichen had no opportunity to speak. He attempted to loosen Xu Yanxi’s grasp, but she held on too tightly.
Eventually, he leaned in and whispered to Xu Yanxi, “There are many people here. Let’s talk in private later. I have something to discuss with you.”
With a smile, Xu Yanxi leaned in and replied, “Later. We’ll chat with our friends first. We’ll have time to ourselves later, alright?”
A nearby camera captured this interaction.
Xiao Yichen felt exasperated but couldn’t express his irritation in front of the crowd. He knew Xu Yanxi was delighted today, and she hosted the party. He couldn’t embarrass her.
The party proceeded without a formal ceremony. Attendees conversed, laughed, and drank. All were having a good time except for Xiao Yichen.
Everyone in attendance today recognized Xiao Yichen, having seen him in person. Usually, they were only acquainted with him through reputation. Furthermore, all knew that he was Yanxi’s boyfriend, and they were on the verge of marriage.
It was past 10 o’clock when Xiao Yichen checked the time on his watch and decided to take leave.
Xiao Yichen managed to break free from Xu Yanxi’s hold. Luckily, most people were engaged in group conversations and paid little attention to his departure.
Xiao Yichen decided not to bid farewell to everyone. He turned and headed toward the exit of the Xu residence.
Upon glancing at Xiao Yichen’s departing figure, Xu Yanxi considered pursuing him but thought better since many friends remained.
As Xiao Yichen’s back vanished, Xu Yanxi gestured to a friend a short distance away, who approached with a camera.
“Yanxi,” this friend said as she sat in Xiao Yichen’s place.
“Did you capture everything 1 instructed you earlier?” Xu Yanxi inquired..
