Chapter 246 Reunion
"Ballroom."

As soon as Libery finished speaking, he saw her running out in a hurry. He didn't care that he was the sun of Oslan, and followed her to help her hold up her skirt, and told her to walk slower in case she twisted her ankle.

There was a hint of doubt in Zongfang's eyes, and he followed.

Qiao Susu came to the banquet hall. The servants saluted respectfully when they saw her from afar. The golden door was opened by the servants, and the noise suddenly came in.

There were guests' laughter and children's chasing and playing. The huge banquet hall accommodated about five or six hundred people. They were all dressed formally. When they saw Qiao Susu standing at the door, they all cast their eyes over and the next second they all bowed to her in court etiquette.

The man standing in the middle was tall, wearing a black suit and holding a wine glass in his hand. He turned around slowly when he noticed the reaction of the crowd. He had neatly combed blond hair, a high nose and thin lips, and was extremely handsome.

When Qiao Susu saw him, her eyes instantly turned red.

"Luka."

Seeing this, Luka frowned slightly, immediately put down his wine glass and strode over.

"what happened?"

He held her slender wrist and pulled her into his arms. He looked down at her and saw that her eyes were red. He turned to Liberi and asked, "What did you say to her again?"

Liberi sighed, "I swear I was trying to coax someone." He then said to Qiao Suisui in a low voice, "Baby, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have said that. Can you forgive me?"

Qiao Susu had no idea what he was saying and just wanted to confirm the current situation as soon as possible.

If Luka, Labri, and Munakata were still here, then
"Where's Carl?"

As soon as she asked the question, the three men's expressions became a little subtle.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Susu's heart skipped a beat.

Luka raised his hand to smooth the hair around her ears and said, "He should still be competing with Summer."

Qiao Suisui repeated in a daze: "Summer?"

Munakata explained for her, "Summer insisted on joining the army with her brothers, and now the father and daughter are probably arguing fiercely."

After saying that, he looked at Qiao Suisui's thoughtful expression calmly, and after thinking for a few times, he said, "Anubis said that he was held up by something and will be here soon."

Sure enough, Qiao Susu looked relieved.

Zongfang's eyes sparkled, he took her hand, and whispered in her ear: "Qiao Qiao, today is the third anniversary of our marriage ceremony, have you prepared a gift?"

Qiao Susu paused and blinked.

No wonder I saw him holding a gift box in his hand just now.
What should I do? It's hard to say that I wasn't prepared or that I forgot.

She frowned in distress and said, "I should have prepared it, but I forgot where I put it."

There was a quick flash of light in Zongfang's eyes, and then a smile appeared.

"It doesn't matter, let's start the banquet first."

Liberi had gone to entertain the guests. Today, not only the noble families of the Oslan Empire came, but also the envoys of various member states. It was not reasonable to neglect them. Luka had just been called away by a servant and no one knew where she had gone. Only Zongfang was by her side.

Zong Fang wore a white suit today, and his long silver hair had been cut short. He looked capable and mature. He held up his left arm, motioning Qiao Susu to take his arm, and then brought her a glass of champagne. When he handed it to her, he whispered in her ear: "If someone comes to toast, just take a sip." Qiao Susu originally felt that she didn't know how to deal with the unknown situation, but she didn't expect Zong Fang to be by her side, reminding her who was toasting and what to say in time. After the last few rounds of greetings, there was no mistake.

At this time, she roughly understood that this banquet was held by Libery, originally intended to celebrate their wedding anniversary, but double happiness came at the same time. Tyr and Havis had passed the military ability assessment, and only needed to serve in the army for four years. After returning, they could join the military or the Military Intelligence Bureau, or go to the Federation. In short, their future was bright, and Luka's position was also taken over by someone. So just now, people kept coming to congratulate her, praise her, and say that she was good at education.

Qiao Suisui thought to herself, I never really cared about them.
The ones who joined the army this time were the three lion cubs, including Harvis, and the three deer cubs, including Tyr, but I didn't hear that Zongfang's children were going.

Thinking of this, Qiao Suisui looked up and asked him, "Where are Qiaosiah and the others?"

Zong Fang was startled and asked, "Who is Josiah?"

Qiao Suisui took a deep breath and felt her throat blocked.

Is it still going to be lost?
Just as I was feeling a little sad, I heard a commotion not far away. Five tall and thin boys came over, each with an extraordinary appearance. Then four little females came in, they were beautiful and cute, and although they had not fully grown up, their delicate eyebrows and eyes could already show their elegance.

Zong Fang looked over, then stroked Qiao Suisui's back and said, "Father must have sent them here in advance. I didn't let the eleven younger ones come, and they wouldn't find it interesting to come to this kind of party."

As soon as he finished speaking, young boys and girls in suits and dresses walked over, stood properly, and performed federal etiquette to Qiao Susu and Zong Fang.

"Father, mother."

Zongfang nodded and asked the boy standing in the middle: "Where is grandpa?"

The young man was calm and composed, his every move and gesture was that of a nobleman. "Grandpa went back, and asked me to say hello to Uncle Libery."

Qiao Suisui looked at the boy's facial features. Wasn't he the grown-up Qiao Xiya she had seen before? Then why did Zong Fang seem to be completely unaware of the existence of this child?
She was still confused and didn't notice that the boy's eyes drifted towards her intentionally or unintentionally. After hesitating for a few seconds, the boy licked his lips and said to Qiao Susu, "Mom, I passed the year-end test of the Interstellar Strategic Academy a few days ago." Then he waited for something with some anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Susu gave a few awkward compliments, but felt that it was not enough. Then she walked up to him and touched his head.

"well done."

I saw that young man was suppressing his smile, his ears were red, and his eyes were shining with excitement.

A baby-faced boy was standing behind them, envious. Qiao Susu recognized him; it was Qiao Bai.

She walked over again, gently pinched Qiao Bai's chubby face, and said, "You did a good job too."

Qiao Bai stared with his eyes wide open, blinking, and blurted out: "But I obviously didn't do well in the exam"

Qiao Suisui smiled and said, "But you are cute. Do you think it is so easy to be cute?"

The boy chuckled and scratched his head.

The other children were also eager to try, and surrounded Qiao Susu, talking about their performance in school and asking for praise.

Zong Fang coughed lightly, and the children instantly became quiet. They didn't dare to talk casually anymore and stood in line properly.

Qiao Suisui glanced at him and asked inexplicably, "Why are you so serious?"

She had never seen this side of him before.

Zong Fang looked at her helplessly, put his arm around her waist and brought her to his side, bit her ear gently, and said, "Didn't you say that you play the good guy and I play the bad guy?"
