At this moment, melodious music suddenly began to ring throughout the noisy banquet hall and the lights went out for a moment.

Just as the crowd was wondering what was going on, a beam of light illuminated the siblings standing on the spiral staircase.

Almost all eyes were on them.

Just then, Tang Xi suddenly heard the sound of the prompt system in her mind ...

[System: Dear Queen, are you satisfied with the surprise I prepared for you?]

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, 'Not bad.'

[System: Your Highness, I'm glad you like it.]

'Can you read my mind?'

[System: Your Majesty, don't forget that we are bound now.]

'OK, 008, you're great!'

[System: Thank you for your praise. It's show time!]

Tang Xi smiled, 'Open your eyes wide.'

Holding Xiao Yao's arm, she looked down like a queen was staring at her people, so noble and tall. Standing closest to her, Xiao Yao intended to support her in order for her not to fall, but when she turned around and saw her charming smile and her starry eyes, she could only hold her breath.

He suddenly felt as if he would disappear if he exhaled once more.

Tang Xi knew what Xiao Yao was thinking because she was aware of her own charm. Someone once told him, "Your smile covers the whole world."

If she smiled with Xiao Rou's face, she would not get the effect she wanted; however, with the perfect makeup given by 008, she was a prima donna now. When she smiled, everyone would be attracted to her.

Tang Xi smiled and whispered to Xiao Yao, "Brother, let's go."

Staring at the almost shining Tang Xi, Xiao Jinning, who was standing in the middle of the hall, clenched her fists so tightly that her nails went deep into her palms, but she did not seem to feel any pain.

Liu Chengyu, who was standing beside her, was completely stunned by Tang Xi's beauty. 'Who is this girl?'

Watching the girl gracefully walk down like a princess, Lin Ru's mood was very bad.

At this moment, the lights in the hall suddenly lit up and a beam of light illuminated the stage. Xiao Hongli stood on the stage, and he looked at the brothers who were walking down the stairs while saying, "Thank you for coming to my father's welcome banquet. Tonight we have good news to share with you—I finally found my daughter, Xiao Rou, and she will be back to our family tonight. Let's pray for a bright future for him."

"So this is Mr. Xiao's daughter. She's so pretty."

"Oh my God, when he came down, I was almost dumbfounded. She's so pretty."

"She looks so graceful, like a real princess."

"And Mr. Xiao's three sons are also handsome. Oh, I feel like my heart skipped a beat when I see them."

The Xiao brothers escorted Tang Xi to the stage and stopped. Xiao Hongli took a step forward and extended his hand to Tang Xi, who collected her dress with one hand and gave the other to Xiao Hongli. He took her hand and led her to the stage.

Xiao Hongli led Tang Xi in front of the microphone and stepped aside. Tang Xi looked at Xiao Hongli, who thought he had stage fright and pushed him in a low voice, "Dare, Rourou." Tang Xi nodded and gave him a reassuring look in response, then he walked over to the microphone, bowed towards the crowd with the most standard etiquette and said, "Good night, everyone. I am Xiao Rou. Thank you all for coming."

His voice was melodious and melodious, like dripping water, and made an atmosphere of silence on this scorching summer night.

A thunderous applause broke out.

Tang Xi waited until the applause stopped, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your presence, and clap your hands. Have fun."

Staring at Tang Xi on stage, Xiao Jinning hoped she would fall and die instantly, but Tang Xi was still standing there being the focus of everyone's attention!

No, it shouldn't be like this!

He should be the focus of attention! She was supposed to be the only heroine tonight! She was!

Xiao Rou was just a hick from the mountains. In the presence of these people, he should have been too embarrassed to stand on stage and be laughed at by everyone, he said, but it shouldn't be like this—behaves naturally and casually like a duck to water and gains universal popularity!

She is the most popular princess!

“Is he your cousin?” Liu Chengyu's voice broke Xiao Jinning's daydream.

Xiao Jinning turned around only to see that Liu Chengyu's eyes were fixed on Xiao Rou. He secretly gritted his teeth and increasingly hated Xiao Rou, but he still smiled at Liu Chengyu and gently nodded, saying, "Yes, he is, she is the daughter of my second uncle who has long been missing.”

Liu Chengyu nodded and replied, "That's it."

Xiao Jinning smiled and nodded again, "Yes, Rourou suffered greatly all this time. Now he finally returns to our family. It's really not easy for him."

Seeing Xiao Jinning, Liu Chengyu was tricked into thinking that he was really worried about Xiao Rou. He patted Xiao Jinning on the shoulder with a smile and said to her gently, "You're too soft-hearted. No one's life is easy.After suffering comes happiness. She has become a popular princess and her suffering has paid off.”

"Brother Chengyu, don't say that. After all, Rourou's past life was miserable." He then smiled as he continued, "But as you said, he won't suffer anymore."

Liu Chengyu wrapped his arms around her waist, gently touching the tip of her nose with a finger and said lovingly, "You've always been very sweet."

Xiao Jinning was relieved to see Liu Chengyu still talking to her affectionately. He turned his gaze to Tang Xi. 'Xiao Rou, even though you were the center of attention, so what? The man who should be yours loves me, be mine, and you will never be able to take him away from me!'

However, Xiao Rou on the stage did not even see him.

Although Tang Xi did not like to socialize with others, she had a way of responding to the praise, which was to stare at the other party's nose base and smile sweetly from time to time.

Right now, he was staring at the base of someone's nose.

Many people came to take Tang Xi to dinner, but Yang Jingxian politely declined.

Since Yang Jingxian rejected them, they did not dare to get angry. With Xiao Hongli's current status, if he didn't care about the company's shares, he wouldn't have to socialize with them.
