Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Alone in the Empty Room!

Song Yun returned home and began to prepare for tonight's dinner. After so many days without touching Ye Qingqing, Song Yun, a man who had just tasted the forbidden fruit, felt that if Ye Qingqing didn't come back soon, he would have to pick up some traditional craft!

The dinner was ready, the candles were ready, the red wine was ready.

Everything was ready, and with such a romantic scene, he didn't believe Ye Qingqing could remain unmoved!

Yet, just as he was about to call Ye Qingqing, she called first.

Ye Qingqing explained that a friend of her father's from Forty-nine City had come and was hosting a gathering at a five-star hotel, asking if Song Yun would like to join them.

As for these gatherings of high society, Song Yun was never interested.

Listening to them boast about how much money they made this year or how many projects they invested in, Song Yun only felt his eyelids grow heavy.

Hearing that Song Yun didn't want to go, Ye Qingqing didn't press the issue, telling him to stay home, that she would return to the Ye family after the gathering was over, and come back to the Magic Capital Villa tomorrow. hosted-on-MVLeMpYr

He was to keep the home fires burning alone?

Song Yun looked at the table full of dishes and sighed deeply.

Meanwhile, a large suite at the Moon Embrace Hotel had been reserved by Father Deng, who had not come to the Magic Capital simply to meet with old friends, but also to form alliances with new ones for the year ahead and grow together.

At seven in the evening, the gathering began, and a host of social elites made their entrance, everyone looking for familiar faces, forming small groups of three or five.

Father Deng, accompanied by his daughter Deng Qi, walked to the stage. Seeing the host for the night had arrived, everyone turned towards the main stage with their wine glasses in hand.

"Hello everyone, I believe we are all familiar with each other, and I'm very pleased to have you all join this gathering I'm hosting. I hope that in the new year, we will have good relations. Now, let the gathering begin, and I wish you all a very enjoyable time!"

After Father Deng's brief speech, he took his wine glass and went over to stand by Ye Qingqing's father.

"Old Ye, have you noticed that the guests at the gatherings are increasingly younger? The younger generation is indeed formidable!"

In the gatherings hosted by Father Deng in previous years, the majority had been middle-aged or even elderly, but now, the older generation was gradually withdrawing from the stage, and many of the new young faces he couldn't even name. Looking at these unfamiliar faces, Father Deng only felt his age.

"Heh, as the saying goes, 'The new wave washes away the old.' Let's give the younger ones more opportunities," said Ye Qingqing's father, smiling as he gazed at his daughter's figure not too far away.

Deng Qi batted her eyelids and feigned innocence.

Hearing this nearly drove Old Master Deng mad. He had repeatedly warned Deng Qi not to boast about this affair because he had no idea of the power and influence behind this person. If they offended them, the Deng family would be unable to bear the consequences!

But he never imagined that Deng Qi would dare to publicly claim she was with that high-profile figure; how foolish!

"Qi Qi! Until you are with that person, you mustn't ever mention him; it will only make him grow tired of you!"

"Really? They say it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, just a veil apart. I don't believe he would bother to take issue with a little girl like me."

Because of her family's indulgence, Deng Qi had long lost any sense of fear.

Seeing his daughter's carefree expression, Old Master Deng wanted to explode with anger but didn't know how to go about it. After all, if that man really could become his son-in-law, his own status within the Deng Family would rise significantly.

He, too, couldn't help wanting to satisfy his vanity.

"Have it your way, but I warn you, do not investigate his background on your own. Otherwise, even the Deng Family won't be able to protect you!"

Deng Qi nodded and then returned to the young people's circle.

Old Master Deng watched his daughter's retreating figure and heaved a deep sigh, unsure whether this was a blessing or a curse.

While Old Master Deng worried, Father Ye was having a great time drinking with everyone. Although Song Yun wasn't present today, it didn't mean he couldn't brag about his son-in-law; listening to Father Ye incessantly praise his daughter's husband, everyone started to have their own thoughts.

This man was also an exceptional talent; they definitely had to forge a good relationship with him in the future.

"Sister Qingqing, where's your husband? Why didn't he come?"

Around Ye Qingqing was yet another circle of young people.

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing laughed and said, "He doesn't like to participate in these types of events, but we can arrange a dinner sometime in the future and I'll introduce you to him then."

"Sure! Li Shishi said your husband is really handsome; I've got to see this for myself!"

Ye Qingqing gave Li Shishi, who was smiling awkwardly at her side, a wry look, but of course, she wouldn't actually get mad at her best friend.
