Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

Chapter 1957: Banquet

After Bo Cixue was dressed, she received a call from Sikong Ling.

He was already downstairs.

Bo Cixue took the elevator down and put a jacket over her slender shoulders. Nevertheless, she still attracted countless eyes on her way out of the hotel.

Sikong Ling stood by the car door, waiting for Bo Cixue.

He saw her slender figure from afar.

When she came closer, he was even more stunned and did not dare to look at her directly.

He opened the door, waiting for her to get in before he got in from the other side.

“Thank you for the gown. You have good taste.” Bo Cixue saw that Sikong Ling was silent and looked at him. Seeing that he had twisted his head towards the car window after getting into the car, as if she was some ferocious beast, she frowned slightly. “What’s wrong?”

It was rare for Sikong Ling to lose his composure. He was usually more aloof in school, but now, he was like a young boy in front of her.

He touched his head with slightly red ears. “N-Nothing. You’re very pretty today.”

Bo Cixue saw the suspicious flush on Sikong Ling’s ears and she smiled. “I didn’t expect you to have such a cute side.”

Sikong Ling’s ears turned even redder.

…

When they arrived at the Sikongs’ palace, Sikong Ling’s thumping chest seemed to calm down a little.

Bo Cixue took off her jacket and held Sikong Ling’s arm as they walked into the banquet hall.

There were several luxurious cars parked at the entrance. It was obvious that the people attending the banquet tonight were all rich and noble.

Just as Bo Cixue had imagined, the guests were all gentlemen and rich ladies.

It was a scene of the upper class with people competing with one another for beauty.

Sikong Ling and Bo Cixue became the focus of attention the moment they entered.

Sikong Ling was the main character tonight and everyone was curious who his female companion would be and whom he would be having the first dance with.

Everyone’s first reaction when they saw Bo Cixue beside Sikong Ling was a question whether she was really a mortal.

Bo Cixue was wearing a dress that gradually changed its color. It was studded with diamonds and looked like the stars in the night sky. The fabric was close to her body, outlining her slender figure. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her slender neck that was as beautiful as a swan. Her collarbones were exquisite and sunken, her waist slender. With makeup on her face, she was beautiful.

When Mayor Sikong and his wife saw Bo Cixue, Mrs Sikong asked with a smile, “Ah Ling, why did you only bring such a beautiful girlfriend back today?”

Sikong Ling glanced at Bo Cixue nervously, afraid that she would be unhappy with the way she addressed her as her girlfriend. He hurriedly explained to Mrs Sikong, “Mother, this is my schoolmate. She’s come on a holiday in Beicang so I only had the chance to invite her to be my female companion recently.”

Mrs Sikong smiled and said, “Then you’ll have to work harder.”

“Yes, Mother.”

Bo Cixue greeted Madam Sikong and the mayor gracefully.

She did not know if she was thinking too much, but there was a meaningful look in the eyes of the mayor.

Bo Cixue did not expect that it would be such a coincidence that Sikong Ling was the son of the mayor. Thinking of what her mother had said when mentioning Ye Jie, Bo Cixue frowned.

Sikong Ling was the main character tonight and there were people coming up to him to greet him.

When everyone came, almost everyone asked about Bo Cixue without fail.

Although Bo Cixue did not say anything, Sikong Ling still found an excuse for her considerately. “You haven’t eaten anything tonight, right? There are many desserts there. Go and see if there’s anything you like.”

Bo Cixue smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

Bo Cixue walked to the food section. Her outstanding appearance and slender figure was still being watched by many people.

Several socialites came up to Bo Cixue, thinking that she was only able to attend such a banquet because of Sikong Ling. They were jealous and did not want to admit the noble air emanating from her.

Sikong Ling saw several socialites surrounding Bo Cixue and saying something, seeming like they were making things difficult for her. He wanted to go forward, but the mayor came over and stopped him.

“Do you think Miss Bo can’t even solve such a small problem?”

“Father, do you know Cixue?”

“She’s Bo Yan’s daughter. How could I not know her?”

Sikong Ling thought of the night he came back. His father asked if he had brought a female classmate over.

He said yes and his father asked him to invite his female classmate to the banquet. He was a little worried at that time, afraid that Bo Cixue would not agree, but his father said that if she was willing to come to the Beicang, she would definitely agree to his invitation.

Sikong Ling felt that there was something he did not know. “Father, if she is General Bo’s daughter, I don’t deserve her.”

“Why are you not worthy? You will be the future governor of Beicang City!”

Sikong Ling looked in Bo Cixue’s direction and saw that she had beaten back the aggressive socialites around her with just a few words.

Sikong Ling walked over and asked softly, “Did they trouble you?”

Bo Cixue smiled lightly, looking unconcerned. “They just asked some questions about fashion.”

The socialites thought she was a country bumpkin, but she knew everything. They were the ones who did not know anything.

Later, they realized that she came from the capital, making them look even more like country bumpkins.

Sikong Ling looked at the confident and easygoing Bo Cixue, a faint gentleness in his deep brown eyes. “Cixue, can I dance with you for the first dance later?”

Bo Cixue picked a grape and threw it into her mouth, asking lazily, “Why not?”

Their eyes met and they could not help laughing.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.

When Sikong Ling saw Sikong Shan coming over with the Crown Prince arm in arm, he said to Bo Cixue, “My sister is here. The one beside her is the Crown Prince. You should know him, right?”

Bo Cixue looked toward the door lazily.

After coming here and finding out that Sikong Ling was the son of the mayor, she had a feeling that she would see Ye Jie tonight.

There was not much fluctuation of emotions in her heart, but when she thought of the WeChat message she had sent last night, she felt embarrassed and awkward.

Kisses and hugs?

This was something she had never shown to him after she grew up.

And to use Tang Wu and Nan Xun’s words, she was really pretentious and retarded!

What made her even more embarrassed was that she had sent a photo of her waist.

She did not know what he would think of her!

“Not really.” Bo Cixue replied, not really wanting to go forward and greet Ye Jie.

Sikong Ling saw that Bo Cixue was eating with her head lowered again, her expression lazy and listless. She did not want to greet the Crown Prince at all. He nodded and said, “I’ll go over first, you can eat slowly.”

“Okay.”

Sikong Shan was wearing a white ankle-length dress today, revealing her fair back. Her hair and makeup were all carefully styled.

She thought she could stun everyone, but when she appeared, everyone’s eyes fell on the man beside her.

But it made sense. The man beside her was elegant and out of this world. He was handsome and noble, exuding incomparable beauty. The calm and dignified look in his eyes made it obvious that he was someone who had been in power for a long time.
