I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

The New Year (1)

Jiang Mingwei was staring at Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang with a messy mind state, so she didn’t know when Xie Xuanji came back and was standing behind her.

However, Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were sitting opposite them, so they could see what was happening on Jiang Mingwei’s side. They could clearly see that Jiang Mingwei was staring at them as if she had lost her mind while Xie Xuanji hid behind Jiang Mingwei silently, giving Jiang Mingwei a scrutiny look.

Both Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang didn’t show any unusual expressions as they didn’t see what was happening in front of them, and they talked as usual. Yet, Mu Mingtang was secretly paying attention and thinking about what would happen next.

Xie Xuanji, who was standing behind Jiang Mingwei, could not tolerate Jiang Mingwei’s ignorance, so he called her first. However, She didn’t know when Xie Xuanji came in because she was in deep thought after seeing the interaction between Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang.

Even though Mu Mingtang who was secretly paying attention to Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei, couldn’t hear the conversation of the couple opposite her, she could see expressions on their faces that were not good.

During the conversation between Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei, Mingwei looked calm, but the look of Xie Xuanji’s face became worse and worse. Jiang Mingwei was actually not clam as she showed. She was just pretending.

After studying them for a while, Mu Mingtang whispered to Xie Xuanchen while pouring the tea: “I think the two of them will quarrel after they go back.”

“There’s a quarrel now.” Xie Xuanchen said indifferently.

After hearing Xie Xuanchen’s words, Mu Mingtang hurriedly looked at the opposite side. The situation there was indeed not optimistic. Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei’s seats are second only to Mu Mingtang’s table. So their husband and wife’s changes could not be concealed from others. After a while, some people looked in the direction of Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei.

Mrs. Jiang also saw that the situation of her daughter and son-in-law was not optimistic, so she slowly went to Jiang Mingwei’s side to inquire about the situation. Only then, did both the husband and wife notice that many people were watching them, so they immediately restrained themselves. Jiang Mingwei stopped talking, and Xie Xuanji also sat back in his seat in silence. However, although he sat down, his face was still tense, and he was far away from Jiang Mingwei.

In the first half of the banquet, Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei sat side by side, showing the demeanor of childhood sweethearts and golden boys and girls. But now, although Xie Xuanji was sitting beside Jiang Mingwei, his body language could not deceive others. Other people could clearly see what was happening.

Mu Mingtang wanted to laugh very much, but at the banquet, in front of so many people, it was not easy for her. Mu Mingtang could only twist his face in the direction of Xie Xuanchen, using Xie Xuanchen’s shoulder to block the smile on her face.

Mu Mingtang who held back her laughter and was about to suffer from internal injuries, quietly said to Xie Xuanchen, “Look at the two of them, can there be another person sitting between them?”

Xie Xuanchen smiled softly: “It seems that you are the eye medicine.” He said and handed the teacup to Mu Mingtang, and said, “Have a good sip, don’t hold back your laughter too much, you will make yourself suffocated.”

Mu Mingtang took it with a smile.

After thaking a sip, Mu Mingtang mood britghined more. “The queen arranged the palace banquet so intimately? This tea is so warm.”

“What queen.” Xie Xuanchen glanced at Mu Mingtang and said, “I made a special call for you.”

“Oh! I was wandering why queen arranged that. How could someone as her arrange it so meticulously.” Mu Mingtang get to know that tea was prepared by Xie Xuanchen, so she felt a lot more ease, and lowered her head and took another sip.

A cup of warm water slipped into the stomach, so the body felt much better. At that moment, halfway through the banquet, the emperor and empress went to the back to rest. In the first half of the table, Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen couldn’t stop toasting. Now that everyone was tired, they could just relax for a while. After Mu Mingtang drank the tea, she picked up the thin-necked silver jug and filled it for herself and Xie Xuanchen respectively.

“Today’s New Year’s Eve, I drank a lot for other people’, but I haven’t even had a drink with you. This drink is toast to you. I wish the prince a safe and healthy life.”

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she smiled at Xie Xuanchen, and drank the wine in small sips. Instead, Xie Xuanchen didn’t speak or drink, as he stared at the wine glass in Mu Mingtang’s hand.

Mu Mingtang finally drank the whole cup, and her face flushed again. She looked at Xie Xuanchen who was staring at her. She were hesitant to say anything, and she asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”

Xie Xuanchen’s eyes fell on Mu Mingtang’s lips. She had just drank wine, her lips were blushing, and there was a faint watery glow, which looked extremely attractive. Xie Xuanchen turned his eyes a little deliberately and said, “The cup in your hand belongs to me.”
