That night, the Beiming manor was brightly lit, and the long tables were decorated with golden tableware.
The baroque-style candlesticks were lit to give off warm candlelight.
Each crystal goblet was filled with red roses, and the napkins were intricately folded into pairs of swans.
Pink ribbons, balloons, and flowers decorated every corner.
The entire dining room had been decorated like a wedding ceremony.
The servants were all extremely busy. The row of servants all wore ruffled white aprons, and each was writing down one word of the sentence “Ji Anan Will You Marry Me.”
The butler was busy training the servants on etiquette, as well as the proposal.
“Young Master, you’ve returned.”
When Beiming Shaoxi entered the banquet hall, he instantly felt that something was going on that day.
Nanny Porti quickly came to his side. “The old master is waiting for you… Young Master, no matter what happens, please don’t do anything reckless.”
Beiming Shaoxi wasn’t sure how to respond to that, so he said nothing.
“Hahahaha—” A burst of hearty laughter rang out.
Old Master Beiming sat on a chaise while holding his laptop, and he was positively beaming.
“Come here, Shaoxi. Grandpa wants to show you something interesting.”
Beiming Shaoxi handed his coat to Nanny Porti and walked over stiffly.
“Hahahahaha!”
Old Master Beiming burst into another fit of laughter. A servant, Steve, handed him a handkerchief that he used to wipe tears from the corners of his eyes.
“Old Master, you’re too frail for such emotional turmoil.”
“Shaoxi, look at our Anan… This little girl really is a ray of sunshine.”
Beiming Shaoxi heard Ji Anan’s voice coming from the computer, and his face immediately darkened at the sound of it. “I’ve seen it already.”
It was so typical of Beiming Yechen to act like the old man’s minion and do his dirty work like this.
However, it had also been a long time since such heartfelt laughter had been heard in the Beiming Manor…
As long as the old man was happy, all the servants were happy, too.
“Yechen, why haven’t you returned yet?!” Master Beiming couldn’t wait to see Ji Anan. “Hurry up and call him.”
“We’ve already called. It seems that the young master’s phone has been turned off…”
“Go check the kitchen to see how the preparations are going!” Old Master Beiming started watching the video again.
“Old Master, you’ve watched it five times already…”
Beiming Shaoxi’s face had darkened considerably. He crossed his legs with a stony expression, then started flipping through the evening financial newspaper sulkily.
Suddenly, the servants caused a ruckus.
“The young master has returned!”
“The young master has returned—”
“The other young master has returned!!”
The servants fervently started spreading the word of their young master’s arrival.
Old Master Beiming nonchalantly put down his laptop, then picked up his diamond-capped cane and asked, “Where’s Anan?”
“Miss Ji didn’t come with him. It’s just the young master by himself.”
“Anan didn’t come with him?” The smile on Old Master Beiming’s face vanished. “Then why did he come back? Go back out and bring her here! Get out!!”
Beiming Yechen was entering from the porch and made it there just in time to hear the thunderous roar to “get out.”
“Jeez, why is everyone staring at me? Is this a welcome party or something?”
“You didn’t bring the girl with you?” Master Beiming glared at him with extreme displeasure. It seemed that he was still hoping that Beiming Yechen would make Ji Anan magically appear out of thin air.
“I couldn’t bring her with me. She left school in the afternoon.”
As soon as Beiming Yechen finished his words, multiple objects were hurled at him.
Old Master Beiming started hurling and tossing everything in sight, about to pick up a durian…
“Old Master, that can’t be thrown!”
Old Master Beiming was gasping for breath. Even if he tried, he wouldn’t have been able to throw it far, because it was too heavy!
