Almost all the famous people in the city were present at the birthday party. If not for their relationship as cousins, a merchant like the Lin family would not be able to sit at the banquet.
Liu Junru had already ordered the latest style of dresses for her two daughters. The young masters of the prestigious families had all arrived at this banquet. If her daughters could be taken fancy to by one of the families, it would also be a good thing for the family.
"Miss, you really don't want to wear a dress? Look at how beautiful this dress is. Every lady wears it.”Aunt Wu didn't understand. Didn't girls like beautiful dresses?
It was precisely because everyone was wearing it that she did not wear it. Moreover, she was not going to the beauty pageant. She was going to ask Li Yizhuo some questions.
"Aunt Wu, didn't Mother personally embroider a lili-style sleeveless qipao for me? I'll wear that."
Although this body was only seventeen years old, it was well developed. This tall and slender figure was most suitable for wearing a cheongsam.
Lin Xiyan was very satisfied with herself in the mirror. The cream-colored cheongsam was embroidered with a few budding lilies at the bottom of the skirt. The well-tailored skirt showed off Lin Xiyan's exquisite figure perfectly. Coupled with the light golden tassel shawl, her skin was even fairer and more tender.
He didn't change his current curved eyebrows because they didn't suit Lin Xiyan's face shape. Instead, he changed his eyebrows to a little flat according to the shape of her face. Her long hair was simply tied up and fixed with a jade hairpin. There was some hair left on both sides of her ears. She had a dignified beauty and a youthful beauty and laziness. This was the most beautiful Lin Xiyan.
Sure enough, after Lin Xiyan went downstairs, the Lin family looked at her. Liu Junru and her daughter were naturally jealous, while Lin Haoran wished he could swallow Lin Xiyan whole.
The Lin family took two cars to the chief's residence. Because the chief's wife was Liu Xianglan's cousin, Lin Sihan held Liu Xianglan's arm and entered. Even if Liu Junru was unwilling, there was nothing she could do.
" Happy birthday, Aunt." Lin Xiyan handed her present.
"Xi 'er, you're so beautiful. Look, all the men here are attracted to you.”Qin Shuhua was very satisfied with Lin Xiyan's dress tonight. She was elegant, beautiful, and virtuous. It seemed that Lin Xiyan would not have to worry about finding a husband after tonight.
"No, YiNiang is the most beautiful tonight.”
"Xianglan! Xi 'er's mouth became even sweeter. She really wanted to keep the fertile water within the family.”Qin Shuhua suddenly thought of something. That's right, why should she give such a beautiful thing to someone else? Her own son could also marry Lin Xiyan. How good would it be to kiss her!
Liu Xianglan immediately understood Qin Shuhua's intentions. It was indeed a good thing for her daughter to marry into the Li family.
"Cousin, where are Yizhuo and Youyou?" Liu Xianglan asked,
"Yizhuo, Youyou, Xi 'er is here.”Qin Shuhua called out to her children.
Xi 'er, you're so beautiful!" Li Xinyou praised.
Li Yizhuo looked at Lin Xiyan with bright eyes. Qin Shuhua pulled her son over.""There are many people tonight. It's Xi 'er's first time attending such a banquet. You'll take care of Xi 'er tonight."
Li Yizhuo smiled shyly. Li Xinyou, who didn't know what was going on, placed Lin Xiyan's hand in Li Yizhuo's."Brother, you are in charge of teaching Xiyan how to dance tonight. She is terrible at dancing.”
"Youyou, am I that bad?”
"It's not bad, it's extraordinarily bad.”Li Xinyou smiled evilly.
"Alright, don't make fun of Xi 'er. Xianglan, their children have their own world. Cousin will bring you to meet a few noble ladies.”Qin Shuhua left with Liu Xianglan.
Li Yizhuo reached out his hand.”
Faced with her idol's invitation, Lin Xiyan pretended to be reserved.""I'm not a good dancer."
"It's okay, I'll take you." Li Yizhuo led Lin Xiyan onto the dance floor.
Besides Lin Xiyan who liked Li Yizhuo, there was another person who liked Li Yizhuo too. She was Lin Nuolan.
When he saw Li Yizhuo inviting Lin Xiyan to dance, he gritted his teeth in anger.""Brother, dance with me."
"I don't have time, I'll find my own dance partner." What a joke. There were so many beautiful ladies here. Who would dance with a few girls? Lin Haoran began to look for his prey.
Lin Nuolan didn't care. She pulled Lin Haoran to the dance floor. According to Lin Nuoxuan, Lin Xiyan was good at all subjects except dancing. Fine, he would make her a fool of herself.
Lin Nuolan jumped to Lin Xiyan's side on purpose and kicked her when she turned around.
"Xi 'er, are you alright?" Li Yizhuo asked worriedly. He could tell that Lin Nuolan was doing this on purpose.
"I'm fine. "It's just that I've implicated my cousin. Damn Lin Nuolan," Lin Xiyan cursed in her heart.
"It's fine. There's no need to mention implicating us." Li Yizhuo's words closed the distance between the two of them.
Lin Xiyan's heart skipped a beat. Was Prince Charming hinting at something?
Seeing the two of them dancing intimately, Lin Nuolan became even angrier. Alright, this time, Lin Xiyan must fall on the dance floor.
"Nuo Lan, can you stop fooling around?" Lin Haoran didn't want to see Lin Xiyan make a fool of herself.
"Brother, don't I understand what you're thinking? If you help me, I will help you in the future." Didn't she know what kind of person her brother was?
Since his sister knew everything, he would help her this time. Lin Haoran brought Lin Nuolan to Lin Xiyan's side and wanted to repeat the same trick.
Li Yizhuo saw Lin Haoran approaching and understood their intentions. The hand on Lin Xiyan's waist suddenly tightened and sped up the dance steps. He turned around and picked Lin Xiyan up so that Lin Xiyan's feet could stand on his feet. This way, he could carry Lin Xiyan and spin quickly. Lin Nuoxuan did not expect Li Yizhuo to pick Lin Xiyan up. She staggered and fell, embarrassed.
"Thank you, cousin. Put me down, your feet will hurt.”Lin Xiyan's heart ached for Li Yizhuo.
"It's okay. I like dancing with you like this.”This was already an obvious hint.
Lin Xiyan shyly leaned her head on Li Yizhuo's shoulder. Qin Shuhua and Liu Xianglan, who were on the dance floor, were smiling from ear to ear. It seemed that this marriage was set.
At this moment, there was someone who wanted nothing more than to tear Li Yizhuo into pieces. No man dared to touch his woman.
The woman was getting bolder and bolder, openly flirting with the man. Didn't he warn her not to let other men touch her lips and body?
Duan Weilin downed the wine in his hand and resisted the urge to kill Li Yizhuo. He had to get his woman back for the next dance.
"Young Marshal, so you're here." Du Tianbo brought his daughter Du Jiawen to Duan Weilin.
Duan Weilin was a ruthless character. As he was the eldest grandson of the Duan family, the old Military Governor (who was also Duan Weilin's grandfather) had brought him along to teach him since he was young. He had been in the military camp since he was young, and not only had he built his own empire, but he had also won the hearts of the soldiers. After the old Military Governor passed away, Duan Weilin's father took over the military government of He City, but many of his old subordinates were still loyal to Duan Weilin. The Military Governor's Office would be his sooner or later.
However, he was also bloodthirsty by nature and his methods were extremely cruel. He never gave his enemies a chance to counterattack, so he offended many people and many people wanted to kill him. No matter what, he was still alive. Being alive meant that he was valuable. As long as he was comfortable, he would not lack power, status, or money.
"What's the matter, Sect Leader Du?" The Du Family's White Tiger Hall had some influence in the city.
"Jiawen said that it has been a long time since we last met, so he wanted to invite you to dance.”Du Tianbo said.
"Young Marshal, would you do me the honor of dancing?" Not only was Duan Weilin good-looking, but he also had a good family background. He was the most powerful man in the city. Who wouldn't be afraid of him?
If it was someone else who sent her daughter over, he would definitely take her away and play with her until she died. However, he had a friendship with the son of the Du family, Du Yifan. He could not bully his good friend's sister.
"I'm sorry. I plan to invite the Eldest Madam for the next dance. After all, she was my teacher in middle school and is today's birthday girl.”
"It's okay. Jiawen can wait for another song.”Du Jiawen was determined to cling onto Duan Weilin.
"The next song is already taken." Duan Weilin looked past Du Jiawen at the dance floor. Damn it, where did his woman and Li Yizhuo go?
"It's okay. Jiawen can wait.”
"Get lost, don't bother me." Duan Weilin's bad temper was revealed when he couldn't see Lin Xiyan. He was so angry that even his good friend's family couldn't be bothered to brush him off.
Everyone in the city knew that Duan Weilin had a bad temper. She thought that he would make an exception for her because of his friendship with her brother. She did not expect him to not give her face either. "Young Marshal," Du Jiawen said with tears in his eyes.”
If it was Lin Xiyan who had been wronged like this, he would feel sorry for her, but other women would only make him feel disgusted. Duan Weilin pushed away Du Jiawen, who was blocking his way. He had to find his woman, or she would be eaten up by other men.
Adjutant Wei found Duan Weilin at the banquet.""Major, something happened in the military camp."
"An armed force has appeared in Guan Village to steal our territory.”
It was indeed an important matter. Duan Weilin looked around the dance floor. Take good care of her during my absence.”
Adjutant Wei naturally knew what Duan Weilin meant. Even if he had to risk his life, he would not let Lin Xiyan be bullied by others.
