After a brief moment of shock, the reception erupted in applause, with the men staring at Serena's delicate face and the deep furrow on her chest, while the women chatted about Serena's delicate dress, which was clearly the work of a famous artist, and the flower crown she wore on her head.The flower crown is very exquisite, not only is the shape very delicate, but the corolla is very subtly embellished with gemstones of various colors, and you can tell that it is expensive at first glance.And the most striking thing is definitely the huge ruby on the front of the corolla.Almost five centimeters long and over three centimeters wide, this diamond-shaped ruby sparkles in the light.Many of the women at the scene looked at the exquisite flower crown with envy, looking at the huge ruby, but unfortunately, they could only look at it at most.The middle-aged man who accompanied Serena into the reception hall was Serena's father, who expressed his gratitude to the guests on behalf of his family, and finally announced that the birthday party would last all night, and the cruise ship named Atlantis was about to leave for sea in half an hour, and interested guests could follow the cruise ship to the sea and return to this port tomorrow morning.When the news came out, the atmosphere at the reception became more enthusiastic, and there were warm applause and cheers.And Serena also danced the first dance of the night with her father, officially announcing the start of the all-night party.After dancing, Serena refused the invitation of others and came directly to Qin Hai and them."
Serena, you're so beautiful tonight!
And this flower crown, it's so exquisite, the gems on it should be real rubies, right?
”Xiao Lingling immediately grabbed Serena's arm and praised it sincerely."
Thanks, you're beautiful tonight too!"
Seeing that Xiao Lingling seemed to be interested in the flower crown on her head, Serena casually took off the flower crown and put it on Xiao Lingling's head, "Lingling, if you like it, I'll give it to you!"
”Xiao Lingling was taken aback, she just thought this corolla was beautiful, and she never thought of getting it.She just took off the flower crown to help Serena put it back on, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for it, you are today's birthday star, and only you are qualified to wear it." ”Serena smiled, shook Xiao Lingling's hand affectionately and said, "Lingling, can you stay tonight?"
We went out on a boat for the night and will be back tomorrow morning. ”Xiao Lingling hesitated for a moment and looked back at Qin Hai.Qin Hai said with a smile, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to take a cruise, now the opportunity has come." ”"Hee-hee, then we won't leave tonight!"
Xiao Lingling understood what Qin Hai meant, and immediately agreed with a smile.Serena also seemed very happy, and even her gaze at Qin Hai was no longer so cold, and she nodded at him before leaving.At the same time, on the other side of the reception hall, Xia Meng had been paying attention to Qin Hai and their side.More precisely, her gaze fell on the corolla on Serena's head.Emir followed Xia Meng's gaze and said with a smile: "Anqi, do you also like that flower crown?"
If you don't mind, I can give you a flower crown that looks exactly like it when you have a birthday in the future. ”Xia Meng chuckled, "I'm afraid it's hard to find exactly the same, especially that ruby, there shouldn't be another one." ”"Uh-" Emir scratched his head in embarrassment, this wreath was said to have been handed down from their ancestors in their family, and it was very difficult to find the exact one like it.However, Emir naturally didn't say no in front of Xia Meng, and still stiffened his neck and said: "I believe that I will definitely be able to find it, no matter how much money it costs, I will get an identical one for you." ”Xia Meng smiled lightly, "No need, I'm just a little curious, and I don't really want a flower crown." ”Emir's heart was very depressed, he felt that Xia Meng thought that he could not get the exact same flower crown, and in impulse, he said, "Anqi, if you really like that flower crown, I will go to Serena and ask for it to give it to you." ”"No, if I could, I'd like to see the corolla up close.It's really beautiful!
”Xia Meng said softly."
It's easy, you come with me!"
Emir stretched out his hand to signal, and then led Xia Meng out of the reception hall quickly.Qin Hai accompanied Xiao Lingling and them to dance two dances in the reception hall, and then left the reception hall and took them to visit this very luxurious cruise ship.Soon after, they arrived on the first deck of the cruise ship, where they saw Serena and her father talking to the other two.Standing in front of Serena and his father was a man and a woman, the man was at least seventy years old, and he was old, but the female companion beside him was very young, only in his twenties, and the two of them held hands, looking very close, giving the impression of grandparents and grandchildren.However, just as Qin Hai and the others passed by them, they heard with their own ears that the old man was introducing his female companion to Serena and their father and daughter, saying that the girl was her fiancée.For a while, Qin Hai and Qiao Wei looked at each other, both of them in disbelief.It seems that there are stories of old cows gnawing on tender grass everywhere, and Australia is no exception.At this moment, the girl smiled and stretched out her hand to shake hands with Serena and her daughter, and said, "Hello, my name is Anna, and I am very happy to meet you!"
”Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Qin Hai was shocked and turned his head to look at the girl.However, because the old man and his fiancée had their backs to them, he couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly for a while, but just looking at the girl's back, Qin Hai had a very familiar feeling.It was at this moment that the girl glanced back behind her.In an instant, her gaze suddenly became dull, as if she had suddenly been hit by an acupuncture point, and looked at Qin Hai motionlessly.Qin Hai was also stunned, because this girl was really Anna.How did Anna end up here and become the fiancée of a bad old man?
Qin Hai's heart suddenly felt quite uncomfortable, very bitter, and very uncomfortable.Although he had been avoiding Anna before, in his heart, he had actually regarded Anna as his own woman for a long time.Now watching Anna become someone else's fiancée, he felt as sick and uncomfortable as if he had swallowed worms alive.At this moment, Anna suddenly laughed, and after winking at Qin Hai, she turned back to the old man and said, "Honey, you go back first, I want to have a good time on the cruise." ”(End of chapter)
