Chapter 271 Demonstrating Power in Front of His Wife
Any objections?
The two men turned to look at the sound and immediately met Horstley's gaze.
How could I dare to have any objections?
Even if they didn't know his identity, they weren't blind. This guy was incredibly handsome, and more importantly, he had a great physique—tall, strong, broad-shouldered, and narrow-waisted.
His fighting skills were clearly formidable; it even felt like one punch from him could send them flying.
The two men are just over 1.8 meters tall, of average build. They were quite fit when they were younger and focused on exercise. However, after starting work in recent years, they have lost all their muscle mass due to lack of exercise and irregular eating habits. Although they haven't reached the point of being overweight and having a "spare tire" around their stomachs.
But compared to the guy across from them, their physiques were simply unbearable to look at...
Knowing she was no match for the man before her, she noticed his clothing again.
The quality of the suit, the tie, the gemstone on the tie clip, and the watch on the wrist.
This...this...this doesn't look like an ordinary person at all.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, the light reflecting off Horsley's watch face and dazzling the man's eyes.
The man who had just questioned the authenticity of Jiang Qin's marriage came to his senses and immediately stopped lingering and making jokes, quickly apologizing with a serious expression.
"No objection, no objection. I'm sorry, bro, I'm really sorry, I understand now."
Horst glanced at the man again, his gaze indifferent yet filled with the imposing aura of a superior.
The man was inexplicably intimidated and immediately opened his mouth to apologize, but then saw Horstley turn his head back to look at the stage.
The man's gaze fell on that slender figure, his eyes focused and tender, full of love.
Noticing this, the man who had just reminded his companion gave the man who had apologized to Horst again a look—
I already told you she's married and has a husband!
The latter was also filled with regret, and now dared not even glance at Jiang Qin.
At the same time, he couldn't help but pray that the guy opposite him wasn't some important figure. He also thought that he had originally planned to travel around Kyoto, but now it seemed that he should just buy a ticket and go home as soon as possible after attending the wedding banquet.
On stage, everything proceeded smoothly.
Jiang Qin focused on doing what a bridesmaid should do, and the overall atmosphere in the banquet hall was festive and lively.
Soon after, Sweetie, who was a flower girl, also made her appearance.
Fresh rose petals, exuding a sweet fragrance, were scattered into the air. The little child laughed happily and loudly wished his aunt and uncle a happy marriage.
Her crisp, adorable voice drew the attention of everyone sitting in the audience on both sides, who couldn't help but smile.
"Whose child is this little girl? She's so cute."
"Right, right? She's so cute! I noticed her the moment she appeared! She's so young but not shy at all, and she's so pretty. She's so adorable. I really want to take a picture with her later."
Friendly chatter could be heard all around.
As he looked tenderly at the mother and daughter on stage, Huo Sili's thin lips curved into a wider smile.
Silently responding to that person's question in my mind:
His family's.
He added that his wife and daughter belonged to his family.
Just then, the man who had apologized earlier noticed the way Huo Sili was looking at Tian Tian, and suddenly realized something, and a wave of fear rose in his heart again.
So, could that little girl on stage now be this guy's daughter?
Also, although he is single, his relatives are married and have children. The little baby looks to be less than three years old.
She had that kind of spirit, facing so many people without any stage fright, confident and radiant. Her voice when she gave her blessings was also very steady, showing no signs of nervousness or shyness.
This doesn't look like something you'd expect...
Damn it, he's doomed! Could he have really messed with some powerful figure from Beijing?!
Terrible.
But now, as Master Jing, Huo Sili didn't spare a single glance for anyone other than his wife and children, his eyes remaining fixed on Jiang Qin and Tian Tian on the stage.
Until the ceremony ended, the emcee announced the start of the wedding banquet, and the bride and groom went to change into their toasting outfits in preparation for toasting each table later.
After the best man, maid of honor, flower girl, and others took their seats for the meal, Horstley finally looked away from the stage.
But while the place they are looking at has changed, the people looking at them have remained the same.
It wasn't until Jiang Qin brought Tian Tian to his table that things started to go.
Actually, Su Lejia originally arranged for Jiang Qin and Tian Tian to sit at the main table, but Jiang Qin herself considered that since there were more people from both families, even though they were best friends, it would be more appropriate to leave the main table to the two families in this kind of occasion.
Thus, the situation we see today has come to be.
"Mommy...I want us to sit with Daddy."
As they walked over, since there were no strict rules about who should sit where, someone was already sitting next to Huo Sili.
Jiang Qin hadn't originally planned to sit with Huo Sili, and she hadn't told Tian Tian in advance that Huo Sili was at this table, because she herself wasn't necessarily going to sit there.
As soon as she stepped off the stage, all the other groomsmen and bridesmaids rushed to another table, and she saw that...
There are only two seats left here, and they are separated.
Horst stood up.
The next second, the three people sitting at the table also stood up, two of whom were the men who had just talked about whether Jiang Qin was married.
"Um... Sister-in-law, brother, you three can sit here, and the three of us can sit separately."
Jiang Qin glanced at the three men; to be honest, she didn't recognize any of them.
And on this table, besides...
Jiang Qin glanced around and saw Huo Sili, Xie Youan, and Xie Zhiya, who was waving and smiling at her.
She didn't know the rest of the people very well either. She had met a few once or twice, but that was many years ago.
But seeing that the three of them weren't being forced, and instead seemed quite enthusiastic, Jiang Qin didn't hesitate.
"Okay, thank you."
You're welcome, you're welcome.
The three men quickly made way for him.
Huo Sili also got up from his previous position and walked to Jiang Qintian's side.
I've been watching the ceremony and the process, and many of the sealed tableware in front of people hasn't been removed yet.
Jiang Qin carried Tian Tian to her seat, and Huo Sili took the tableware in front of them, unpacked it, and carefully rinsed each piece with boiling water.
After washing both portions, I washed my own portion last.
The family of three all possessed remarkable bearing; the man was handsome, the woman beautiful, and the little baby was excessively adorable.
The others glanced at each other from time to time, exchanging admiring looks.
But none of them dared to strike up a conversation.
The surrounding tables were all bustling with conversations about work, studies, children, marriage, and young men and women chatting about games and idols. The lively chatter was both ordinary and enthusiastic.
Before long, steaming hot dishes were served one after another.
The aroma is enticing, the color is alluring, and the smell alone is enough to make one's mouth water.
However, most high-end ingredients are more suitable for adults. If you're feeding them to children, it's best to help them prepare them.
Otherwise, bones, shells, and thorns could easily hurt the baby.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qin was using serving chopsticks to pick out shrimp suitable for Tian Tian to eat, preparing to peel some shrimp for Tian Tian first.
The next second, a white porcelain bowl filled with shrimp meat was gently placed in front of Tian Tian.
"Sweetie, eat up," the man said gently in his deep, magnetic voice.
Sweetie's eyes were bright, but she still glanced at Jiang Qin before replying.
Jiang Qin nodded with a slight upturn of her pink lips and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Daddy~!"
That smile instantly melted the hearts of several adults who had been drawn to the family's beauty and couldn't help but pay attention to them.
No, this is too well-behaved!
Okay, okay, this world is tricking them into having daughters again!
But that wasn't all. Sweetie picked up a few shrimp that Huo Sili had peeled from the bowl and put them on Jiang Qin's plate.
Smiling, she said, "Daddy's shrimp peeling is delicious! Mommy will eat some too!"
Huo Sili, who was peeling shrimp for his wife: "..."
He glanced at Tian Tian sitting in the middle, then looked at his daughter and then at his wife.
Horst's eyes were gentle.
Jiang Qin felt it was burning hot.
She looked away, but her ears involuntarily flushed a light pink.
There were a few people at the table who were always shipping couples, and I was quietly observing them, feeling like I was going crazy with shipping.
Okay, okay, watching other people's love stories is definitely more enjoyable!
……
Around 3 p.m., apart from a few very close relatives and friends who stayed to help, the rest of the guests gradually left.
Jiang Qin chose to stay and continue to accompany her best friend.
The remaining tasks include checking the gifts, the tableware and other items for any damage, settling the bill, and other clean-up work. Any items that the guests specially arranged need to be removed by the guests themselves to avoid any disputes later.
Since his wife and daughter wouldn't leave, Horsley naturally refused to leave either, so he stayed as well.
Jiang Qin was speechless and helpless, but after glancing at him, she didn't bother to say anything.
Because it was obvious that her words were useless—she had important things to do while she stayed behind, but if she said that, he would definitely reply that he would stay and help her.
But when he stands there, with that aura he exudes, who would dare ask him for help?
At this moment, after counting and listing all the gifts given by the guests at the wedding banquet, it's time to move the items to the parked car.
However, because one of the gifts was particularly large and they were short of manpower to lift it, the three hotel staff looked in the direction where Horstley was standing for several seconds, but did not dare to call out.
Jiang Qin noticed and walked over to the group, saying, "I..." Come on.
However, at this moment, someone turned around again, like a wild horse being led on a leash, with Jiang Qin as his leash.
He could only turn around and see her when she was there.
"I'll do it," Huo Sili's voice drowned out Jiang Qin's.
As he spoke, he strode over and reached out to lift it up.
The large box, wrapped in red cloth and whose contents were unknown, suddenly rose steadily upwards.
It rose to a height greater than the height of two people standing on the other side.
This is a case where one person completely replaced the strength of two people on the other side.
"..." The three young men silently withdrew their gazes from the big shot.
Great, as long as they're not embarrassed when they're weak, embarrassment won't find them.
"Let's go." Horstley casually lifted one hand up, his tone relaxed and unhurried.
The two young men opposite, who were already showing signs of gritting their teeth, were speechless.
No, does he really not find this thing heavy?
