Chapter 402: Did you lie to her?
She couldn't help but think of Xiao Mingyang again. When he hugged her, he always exuded a faint scent of cologne, which was deep and charming, always making her feel a sense of déjà vu.
But why can't she find this feeling in Bai Yiran?
Just as she was thinking about it, Bai Yiran suddenly took a step back, took her hand, and said softly: "The banquet is about to start, let's go in."
After hearing this, Lin Yuqing remembered the purpose of her trip. She smiled slightly and nodded, then followed him forward.
As soon as I jumped into the venue, the banquet had already begun. At the beginning, the host of tonight spoke on the stage, and then slowly called people to the stage, first Mrs. Bai, and then Bai Yilin.
Today, Bai Yilin was wearing a snow-white dress. The special tube-top design outlined her petite figure perfectly. The hem of her long skirt was like a mermaid's, dragging on the ground and sparkling, just like a real mermaid princess.
She stood on the stage with a beautiful smile on her face.
Seeing her like this, Lin Yuqing was momentarily stunned. Was this the person who was engaged to Xiao Mingyang? But Brother Xiao had broken off the engagement with her because of her.
She didn't understand that in terms of appearance, Bai Yilin was no worse than her.
In terms of figure, education, and family, she is better than him in everything. Then why would Brother Xiao cancel his engagement with her for her?
It seems that there are many more things going on. Although she said that she believed Bai Yiran, it does not mean that she will not pursue the truth.
She must get back the memory she lost and find out the reason behind it.
"What are you thinking about?" Just as she was lost in thought, Bai Yiran suddenly put his arms around her waist, leaned close to her ear and asked softly, his warm breath immediately spraying all over her neck.
She came to her senses and turned to look at him.
He stared at her, his eyes burning.
"I'm not thinking about anything. I just think Yilin is too beautiful today, so I can't take my eyes off her." After saying that, she quickly looked away, fearing that if she continued to look at him, she would reveal something.
"Yes, Lin'er has grown up. She is no longer the little girl who only hides behind me and calls me brother." Bai Yiran looked at her and a smile appeared on his face.
But Yilin's change surprised him. To what extent?
At first, he just thought that she would change a little after experiencing the incident with Xiao Mingyang, but over time, he discovered that there was a demon living in the heart of this girl, and she was not as kind and harmless as she seemed on the surface.
After pushing Yuqing into the lake, he still felt guilty and called to inform him.
From that moment on, he knew that she hated Lin Yuqing.
After that, she didn't seem to do anything out of the ordinary, but she still scared him by committing suicide by slitting her wrists. He really didn't think about his sister.
The innocent, lovely person who would only follow behind him, carefully pull at his clothes, and call him brother, has now become like this.
She said that love is something you have to pursue yourself.
When Yuqing lost her memory, she told herself this and also said something to her, which made Yuqing's attitude towards him change drastically.
He didn't know what had become of Yilin. Was it anything he could imagine? He didn't know.
He only knew that the girl was devoted to Xiao Mingyang.
For him, I would do anything.
Forget it, as long as she doesn't hurt Yuqing, it's fine. As for Xiao Mingyang's matter, it depends on their fate.
Thinking of this, Bai Yiran coughed lightly to hide his awkwardness.
At this moment, Bai Yilin had already stepped down from the stage. Everyone smiled and handed over their gifts one by one. Mrs. Bai thanked her on Yilin's behalf and then asked the servants to accept the gifts and take them inside.
"Did you bring your gift?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing glanced at Bai Yiran and said, "I have it. It's the necklace that my aunt gave me the other day."
"where?"
Hearing him ask this, Lin Yuqing realized that the small box she had been hiding in her box was missing. She widened her eyes and said, "How did it disappear? I was clearly holding it in my hand just now."
Bai Yiran gave her a strange look: "Now? Gone?"
Having said that, Lin Yuqing suddenly pulled back her hand, then turned and walked towards where she had just been.
Just now, when she was eating, she put the box aside and planned to take it when she was done. But because of a man's approach, Bai Yiran got angry and chaos broke out again.
She had completely forgotten about the box. Later, because of Mrs. Xiao's provocation and those unpleasant words, she was slapped again and was pulled away by Xiao Mingyang.
And that box had been thrown out of her mind long ago.
I just remembered it now, and I don’t know if it’s still there.
Lin Yuqing hurried to where she had just been, but found that the table was empty and there was nothing on it.
Bai Yiran ran over and asked, "How's it going?"
"It's gone." Lin Yuqing's face suddenly turned ugly. "I clearly put it here just now. It was only a moment ago. How come it disappeared?"
Hearing this, Bai Yiran reached out and hugged her: "There are so many people here, and if you leave your things here and no one is around, someone might get greedy and take them away."
Lin Yuqing suddenly raised her head, her voice filled with apology: "But that was given to me by your mother. She said it was a birthday present for Yilin. Now it's gone. I'm left with nothing. What should I do?"
Seeing her sad and self-blaming look, Bai Yiran felt a pain in his heart.
He raised his hand and stroked her head gently, saying, "It's okay. We'll be a family soon, so we won't care about these things. Don't worry."
"No!" Lin Yuqing shook her head: "That was given to me by your mother, but I lost it. I..."
"Okay, it's really nothing. Don't be sad or blame yourself."
"What did you give to Erin later? Why are you here today..."
Hearing this, Bai Yiran looked at her fair neck, thought for a moment, and comforted her, "Wait here for a while, don't go away, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he let go of her and walked out. Lin Yuqing was anxious and wanted to call him, but he seemed to be unable to hear what she said at all. He flashed and disappeared into the crowd.
She could only sit down on the chair anxiously and wait impatiently.
Where is he going at this time?
"What's wrong?" A cold voice sounded above her head. Lin Yuqing raised her head and saw Xiao Mingyang standing in front of her.
"Brother Xiao, you..." When she thought of what happened just now, she stopped talking and turned away.
"Even if you are angry with me and don't want to see me, you should tell me what's wrong with you? Maybe I can help you." Xiao Mingyang couldn't help but speak out.
