Chapter 120: Playmates

It was called an excuse, but what it concealed was the truth.

He had indeed seen Su Xi in his dreams, exactly the same, even down to the tiny mole on her earlobe, which was identical.

It was just that he could not explain this kind of encounter.

After watching him leave, Su Xi looked at the invitation in her hand and said to Er Miao, "Perhaps there will be clues about the Master of Luck; keep a close watch when the time comes."

"No problem, leave it to me."

After Xiao Mi woke up and heard there was a lively banquet to play at, she agreed immediately and even urged Su Xi to hurry over.

Su Xi dressed her in a small white dress adorned with pearls, which set off her snow-white, delicate skin; her large, dark, round eyes were brimming with divine light, and anyone who saw her would love her from the bottom of their heart.

"Xiao Mi is so cute." Su Xi stroked her princess-style braided hair, which was as soft and silky as the down of a young beast, and she couldn't bear to let go.

"My twin sister is even cuter." Xiao Mi took a photo out of her Small Storage Bag and showed it to Su Xi. "I went back this time, and she has grown up a lot."

Su Xi looked at the sleeping toddler in the photo, who looked very much like Xiao Mi. "Mm, when she wakes up in the future, Xiao Mi can play with her, take her to places you find interesting, eat delicious food, and then learn and grow up together."

Xiao Mi nodded heavily. "I will."

Su Xi kissed her little face. "Our Xiao Mi is the best little sister."

"Hee~ I have a sister named Xiao Mei Mei," Xiao Mi replied. "She is the daughter of Uncle Heavenly Dao."

"The daughter of Heavenly Dao—just hearing her father's name makes her sound very formidable."

Su Xi had seen this name in the group chat, and Xiao Yan had also mentioned that this sister was very active on the Shen Ming Zhan Chang.

Ninth Banquet Hall.

Su Xi wore a low-key yet somewhat mysterious wine-red gown, held Xiao Mi's hand, and entered the banquet hall with the invitation.

Although no one recognized the two of them, their outstanding appearance and temperament still attracted the attention of quite a few people.

"What a beautiful little girl, what is your name?" A middle-aged lady with an elegant demeanor took the initiative to step forward and greet Xiao Mi.

Xiao Mi replied politely, "Hello, Auntie, my name is Su Xiao Mi."

Su? Su Xi looked at Xiao Mi, but immediately remembered that her mother's surname was also Su, so having this name was indeed fine.

"What a lovely name!" The middle-aged lady lowered herself to be at eye level with Xiao Mi, examining her features, liking her more the more she looked, and called out to a little boy lounging on a sofa playing a game console: "Gao Xing—come over here."

The little boy raised his head, but his gaze fell directly onto Xiao Mi.

Su Xi and Xiao Mi also looked over; he was a cool and handsome little boy, looking about six or seven years old.

The little boy glanced at Xiao Mi, then at the game console in his hand, finally put it down, and walked over. "Mom."

"Look at me, I was so taken with Xiao Mi that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yao Ying, my husband's surname is Gao, and this is my son, Gao Xing. The Xingyue Grand Hotel is my family's business." Lady Gao pulled the little boy over, her face full of enthusiasm.

Su Xi replied, "My name is Su Xi, hello Lady Gao."

"Hello, Miss Su." Lady Gao patted her son's back. "Son, say hello to Xiao Mi, be open and friendly."

The more she said that, the more reserved Gao Xing became, and with a blushing face, he said to Xiao Mi, "H-hello."

"Hello." Xiao Mi looked at the game console he had left on the sofa. "What is that?"

Seeing that she was interested in his toy, Gao Xing's expression became much more natural. "Do you want to play the game console? I can teach you."

"Okay." Xiao Mi loved playing games the most.

Su Xi said to Xiao Mi, "You must be polite and share with other children, don't be willful, be a good girl~"

"I know, Sister." Xiao Mi immediately walked toward the game console.

Lady Gao watched the two children, her eyes full of affection.

"Lady Gao seems to particularly like my little sister." Su Xi found it somewhat strange; even if one liked someone else's child, there was no need to be so eager to introduce one's own child.

Lady Gao signaled for a waiter to come over, took two glasses of champagne, and handed one to Su Xi. "Gao Xing is a child I suffered through heaven knows how much to give birth to, and he was also the only healthy baby born in the hospital in two whole months at the time. As for the others, to put it bluntly, it was hard to say if they would even grow up. At a grand celebration like today's, I haven't seen a third child besides Xiao Mi and my son."

Su Xi suddenly realized, "It does seem rare to see children."

When she and Xiao Mi went to the supermarket to buy things, most of the people coming and going were adults; Xiao Mi's presence was like a big celebrity, and everyone couldn't help but take a few extra looks. At first, she thought it was because Xiao Mi was cute, but now it seemed more like there were just fewer children.

"Children are the future; without children, where would the future come from?" Lady Gao sighed, then turned back to say with warm sincerity, "Let's keep in touch more in the future so the children have a playmate."

"Haha, we are currently staying in suite 2809 on the top floor of your hotel; if Gao Xing wants to find Xiao Mi, he can come over to play," Su Xi smiled.

"That would be wonderful, I'll give you a fifty percent discount later." She would have been fine with free, but she feared Su Xi wouldn't be willing to accept it for free, so she only offered half-price.

Su Xi smiled. "Thank you, Lady Gao."

She looked at Xiao Mi; the little one clearly liked the game on the console, having even taken off her little leather shoes, her small feet in white socks wiggling playfully.

Gao Xing took a blanket and helped Xiao Mi cover her legs and feet so others wouldn't see.

"Lost again..." Xiao Mi frowned and pouted.

Gao Xing took the game console. "Watch me play for you."

"Okay." Xiao Mi watched Gao Xing play the game skillfully.

"Oh, Lady Gao, you're here; Gao Speaker is looking for you and the young master." Zhong Weilan walked toward Lady Gao with a charming smile, holding a wine glass.

Seeing her, Su Xi immediately scanned the surroundings, but did not see Yu Cheng.

Could it be that this guy gave her the invitation and couldn't come himself?

Just as she was thinking this, Yu Cheng entered the banquet hall accompanied by several people.

"If he wants to see his son, he can come over himself. By the way, let me introduce you." Lady Gao said to Su Xi, "Miss Su Xi, this is Zhong Weilan, the daughter of the Vice President of the Saint-Sno United Nations."

Zhong Weilan examined Su Xi, feeling she looked a bit familiar. "Hello, Miss Su, have we met before?"

Su Xi replied, "Yesterday, my sister and I were having a barbecue in the Rooftop Garden, and Mr. Yu was there at the time."

"That's right, Councilor Yu also lives in a suite on the top floor," Lady Gao laughed.

The hotel manager came over to find Lady Gao and whispered a few words to her.

Hearing this, Lady Gao frowned slightly and said to Su Xi and Zhong Weilan, "You two chat first, I'll be right back."

"Please go ahead, Lady Gao," Zhong Weilan replied.

Su Xi nodded.

After Lady Gao left, Zhong Weilan's attitude toward Su Xi immediately turned cold, "Excuse me, I have some other matters to attend to."

"It's no problem, Miss Zhong, please go ahead." Su Xi did not mind at all and walked toward Xiao Mi.

?? Good night, my treasures~
