The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 806 - 776: Really Fond of You_1

Compared to Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, who forced smiles onto their faces, the smile on Old Master Xiao’s face was genuinely from the heart. Today, except for when he saw his son and daughter-in-law, his face never stopped smiling.

Just then, Old Master Xiao chuckled in agreement with Xiao Muli’s words, saying, "Ha ha, Old Deng, your grandson is more than just a step behind. Xiao Xin, that girl, has long been promised to our Xiao Family."

"Look at Old Xiao today, his face is practically blooming with smiles." Right after Old Master Xiao said this, some elder teased him.

For Situ Xin, dealing with these elders was a real headache. Each and every one of them was like an old child, seizing every opportunity to tease her and Xiao Muli. And that Xiao Muli, with her thick skin, always had an expressionless face. As for Situ Xin, she blushed miserably.

Just as Situ Xin was thinking of a way to escape this awkward situation, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang appeared with their female companions. No, now it should be said that they are girlfriends. This was all thanks to Situ Xin’s involvement; after discussing this matter with Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, they finally understood their own feelings. Following behind Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang were people from The Dark Division, including Situ Muli and Xiang Yang. They had been specially invited by Situ Xin. The members of The Dark Division, Xia Yujie, and Liu Yuxiang held a special place in Situ Xin’s heart; they were companions she trusted implicitly.

"Ah, my dear grandfathers, my friends have arrived. Muli and I will go and greet them," said Situ Xin, her face adorned with a sweet smile, to the elders.

"Off you go, off you go. We old folks surely can’t hinder the young ones from mingling," said Old Deng, who understood that Situ Xin was feeling embarrassed and was looking for an opportunity to slip away. If Situ Xin had come up with another excuse, Old Deng probably would have held her back. However, he had just seen the people from The Dark Division and held special affection for them, so as soon as Situ Xin spoke up, Old Deng helped her out.

Situ Xin, along with Xiao Muli, walked toward Liu Yuxiang and the others. Since Liu Yuxiang, Xia Yujie, and the people from The Dark Division all knew each other, they didn’t approach immediately upon arrival. Instead, the two groups gathered together and started chatting.

When Situ Xin arrived, the two groups were in the midst of a lively conversation. "What are you all discussing?" Xiao Muli came over, lightly holding Situ Xin’s waist.

"Miss (Leader) (Master)." Upon seeing Situ Xin, they greeted her in unison.

"Mhm, at this gathering, keep your voices down," instructed Situ Xin, noticing that the noise from their group was attracting the attention of others around them. She urged them to be quieter, lest her covert identities be exposed after the engagement party. "Your seats are over there. You can go and find them later; I might be quite busy today and unable to entertain you properly," Situ Xin said, pointing towards a spot near the stage.

That spot had been specially reserved by Situ Xin for them. As soon as she pointed, Xia Yujie and the others understood that it must have been Situ Xin’s arrangements, and even such a small gesture touched everyone’s hearts deeply.

"All right, we know that you’re the star of the show today and will certainly be busy. We won’t take offense," said Mei, cradling her baby in her arms, smiling, "Go on with your tasks."

"Then I’ll get busy," responded Situ Xin, without being overly polite with them, because she couldn’t afford to be. Right at that moment, her mother came to fetch her, urging her and Xiao Muli to greet other guests.

The engagement party was not overly complicated, considering Situ Xin’s pregnancy. It consisted merely of the couple, Situ Xin and Xiao Muli, exchanging engagement rings followed by the man’s family presenting engagement gifts.

After these procedures were done, it was time for the banquet and toasting. The Situ elders initially wanted to avoid this part, fearing it would be too tiring for Situ Xin and her unborn child.

However, among the guests at the party today were not only relatives but also many retired senior officials and national leaders. Even the top leader appeared in the banquet hall before the official start of the engagement party, accompanied by a secretary. His presence surprised many who were unaware of Situ Xin’s secret identities, causing them to marvel at how the Situ, Loo, and Xiao Families were commanding enough respect to have the top leader attend the engagement party of two younger members.
