Murong Qiao lifted her skirt and walked to Xian Yu, blushing under his stunned gaze.
“Fifth Brother?” She called out softly.
Murong Qiao looked at him. It was rare for Xian Yu, who was used to being ostentatious, to officially wear a suit this time.
With a hint of ostentatious youth, his smile made people feel happy.
Little Sister’s voice pulled Xian Yu back to his senses. He came back to his senses and met Murong Qiao’s gaze. He sensed the faint nervousness in her eyes and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
“We’re just waiting for you.” Xian Yu pointed down.
He would not say that he was in a hurry to come up because he couldn’t wait to see how beautiful Little Sister was.
Murong Qiao chuckled. “Let’s go?”
She was already looking forward to the gifts her Big Brothers would give her.
Xian Yu naturally followed her and stood beside Murong Qiao, walking down the stairs with her.
The bustling conversation downstairs turned silent under the appearance of the white dress.
The girl who walked down the stairs was elegant and exquisite. The first thing everyone saw was her fair ankles. She was wearing a pair of dreamy crystal shoes as she gently stepped on the stairs.
Under countless gazes, Murong Qiao slowly appeared in front of everyone.
She was like a blooming rose, revealing her existence. Her footsteps on the stairs were light, and every step she took was eye-catching.
It was as if there was a scorching and fragrant flower fragrance on her face, making her look intoxicating.
“Be careful,” Murong Chen reminded her.
He stood at the staircase landing, extending his hand to assist Murong Qiao as she descended. The gesture was both inviting and imbued with an air of intimacy and gentlemanly style, which was quite captivating.
Murong Qiao gently placed her hand on Big Brother Murong Chen’s palm. The uneasiness in her heart seemed to have disappeared with this action, leaving only a sense of relief.
Murong Qiao walked down the stairs. “Big Brother is so handsome.”
She praised him sincerely. Her eyes when she looked at Murong Chen were like a deer’s. They were round and cute as she looked at him. Her clear eyes made the praise seem especially sincere.
Murong Chen was wearing a silver-gray suit today, which softened the authoritative aura around him. The brooch decoration beside his tie subconsciously raised the visual center, bringing the focus to his shoulders, tall legs, and well-proportioned figure.
“Your tongue is quite glib,” Murong Chen said helplessly.
Many people around were secretly surprised when they saw Murong Chen being so intimate with Murong Qiao.
For a moment, everyone’s gazes landed on the siblings. Everyone had different thoughts.
The crystal-like lights were resplendent and scattered in every corner of the banquet under the multiple refractions. They toasted the people with smiles on their faces. Their soft conversations created a comfortable buzz, and they only felt that the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
Murong Qiao followed Big Brother Murong Chen and walked from the stairs to the center of the banquet.
The surrounding people consciously made way for the protagonist of this banquet. Countless gazes swept over unintentionally, but they stopped on Murong Qiao for a long time.
“Second Brother, Third Brother!” Murong Qiao called out to them happily.
Murong Zheng and Murong Chuan were standing in the middle at this moment. Their dazzling presence made Murong Qiao notice the two of them at first glance.
Murong Zheng was dressed in his usual snow-white color. His white and flawless clothes were tailored perfectly, and he was so clean that one could feel that his mysophobia was put to good use. He only held a glass of red wine in his hand, and his expression was so calm that it made people feel a cold and refined aura from him.
Murong Chuan was the opposite of him. He was dressed in black and walked casually, standing at the side in a relaxed posture.
Murong Zheng first sized her up. “Fourth Brother’s standards are not bad.”
Murong Qiao, who knew his style of speaking, smiled until her eyes curved. She translated in her heart that this was a different kind of praise for her.
Murong Chuan also nodded in agreement with Murong Zheng. He felt that his Little Sister was the most beautiful person present.
“Speaking of which, where is Fourth Brother?” Murong Qiao was puzzled.
She had met everyone since she came downstairs, except for her Fourth Brother, Yan Xiu.
At the mention of Yan Xiu, Xian Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
He glanced in a certain direction. “Isn’t he here now?”
Murong Qiao curiously followed Xian Yu’s gaze and looked up to see Yan Xiu walking towards them.
Yan Xiu was the only one who didn’t wear a suit. His white clothes wrapped around his thin and slender body, and only a black collared flower hung on his collar. As the centerpiece, it extended down with the texture of waves, giving off a romantic feeling that belonged to an artist.
Yan Xiu’s eyes lit up slightly as he looked at Murong Qiao in satisfaction.
When he drew the design back then, this was exactly the image he imagined in his mind. Every detail of his ingenious design was vividly displayed by Murong Qiao. When the actual gown was worn by Murong Qiao, even Yan Xiu couldn’t help but be stunned.
Murong Qiao clenched her dress and lowered her head, revealing her slightly red earlobes. She was really embarrassed by her Big Brothers’ praises.
Seeing that her Big Brother was holding a wine glass, Murong Qiao also reached out to take it, but before she could touch it, another glass was stuffed into her hand.
“The alcohol content of this fruit wine is lower.” Murong Chen saw through her thoughts.
Although it was Murong Qiao’s birthday today, Murong Chen subconsciously treated his Little Sister as a child. Therefore, he couldn’t help but take action just now and bring Murong Qiao a glass of fruit wine.
Murong Qiao was caught between laughter and tears. “Alright, I’ll listen to Big Brother.”
She naturally agreed. Moreover, she only wanted to hold the wine glass out of habit. Otherwise, she would feel that something was missing from her hand.
The bright yellow liquid swirled gently in the cup with the force of the shake. Then, it was touched by her sparkling lips and flowed into her throat.
The unpalatable sweetness overshadowed the sharpness of the alcohol. It was rich in her mouth and only made Murong Qiao feel that the sweetness lingered on the tip of her tongue, making her unable to help but sigh with contentment.
Now, all five of them were gathered.
Murong Qiao was surrounded in the middle, like a treasure that was being held in the palm of their hands as a shining existence.
“Whose gift do you want to open first?” Murong Chen asked.
As soon as he said this, the five Big Brothers’ gazes landed on Murong Qiao, waiting for her answer.
Murong Qiao blinked and looked at her Big Brothers. She suddenly had the illusion of opening blind boxes.
Fortunately, she did not have difficulty choosing. “Why don’t 1 pick randomly and guess who it’s from?”
Compared to opening the gifts one by one, Murong Qiao felt more excited about opening them and guessing who had given them to her.
“You’re so smart.” Xian Yu laughed at her.
He was originally ready to fight and couldn’t wait to hear Little Sister say his name first.
In the end, when he heard Murong Qiao say that she would open them at random, he felt disappointed and excited.
If she randomly opened the gifts, his would definitely be last, and it would be a great chance to suppress the other gifts. Thinking of this, a smile bloomed on Xian Yu’s face.
Her Big Brothers’ gifts were placed in a separate area. After hearing Murong Qiao’s decision, Murong Chen walked in front and led her to a different place. “…It’s so big?” Murong Qiao was surprised.
She stood in front of the temporarily vacated exhibition hall and looked at the four curtains in front of her. They divided the venue into four and each gift took up a space. The dense curtains made it impossible to see what was inside.
These curtains were actually arranged at the last minute. The gifts that were supposed to be sent up one by one were changed by Murong Qiao’s decision and placed in the room here..
