Chapter 103, First Release of Banxia Novel

"Lili, happy birthday."

Zhou Zhi, dressed in a blue cheongsam, had dressed up carefully and looked as beautiful as a fairy in Bai Li's eyes.

She brought Bai Li a gift and promised to teach him a new dance.

Bai Li nodded happily and hugged her: "Thank you, Master."

Apart from those I know, I don't know anyone else.

However, those who were invited by Xie Chen were all very enthusiastic towards him.

Everyone here is intelligent. Xie Chen is asserting his dominance by publicly revealing the actions of those around him; they understand what he means.

Seeing so many expensive gifts, Bai Li couldn't help but whisper to Xie Chen, "Sir, why are their gifts so expensive?"

Such an expensive gift, I won't be able to repay it if I want to.

Compared to the gifts he received, his salary would barely cover the cost of one gift even if he worked hard for a whole year.

"Don't worry, just accept it."

Xie Chen grasped his hand, turned his head, and softly comforted him: "I gave them gifts before, and now they're returning the favor."

Even though Xie Chen coaxed him into accepting it, Bai Li still felt like he had gotten a bargain.

With so many people arriving, Tan Yi and Bai Xiaoliu took the initiative to greet them.

Seeing that he was interested in talking to her, she struck up a conversation with him and offered him resources.

With a smile, he said, "Let's talk about work another day. Today is my brother's birthday, so everyone should relax and have fun."

"OK."

The boss who provided the resources smiled and changed the subject to Bai Li: "Your brother and President Xie are a perfect match."

Tan Yi: "..."

Tan Yi frowned: "A good match?"

"That's right."

The boss swirled his wine glass and said in a friendly tone, "Mr. Xie, you've gone to such lengths to hold this birthday banquet today. Everyone understands your intentions."

Tan Yi's expression changed slightly.

Xie Chen had been kind to Lili from the very beginning, and this kindness had almost made him numb.

Because of habit, he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Now that the boss has pointed it out, I finally understand what he's trying to say.

Oh wow, my little brother isn't a cat anymore.

Xie Chen used to like keeping cats, which is fine; there are plenty of cat lovers among humans.

But Lili successfully transformed into human form, and Xie Chen still has the problem of nurturing people?

"Oh shit."

Tan Yi cursed under his breath and turned to find Bai Xiaoliu.

As for why they didn't contact Brother Da, the reason is clear: Brother Da has a good relationship with Xie Chen, so contacting Brother Da would probably be useless.

Not far away.

Xie Chen massaged Bai Li's shoulders, a smile in his eyes: "Lili, you did a great job."

The little guy followed him to meet the guests, and throughout the process, he remained neither humble nor arrogant, showing no stage fright whatsoever.

Although, she was secretly nervously clutching his hand.

Since no one came to greet her, Bai Li hugged his arm and rubbed her face against his neck.

"Sir, I'm a little tired."

He likes crowds and lively atmospheres, but now he feels that the liveliness has become too much.

Xie Chen lowered his head and kissed his forehead, coaxing him, "Be good, hang in there a little longer."

Bai Li nuzzled against him and obediently replied, "Mmm!"

The two people were standing in a slightly off-center position, but Yu Yin could see them clearly.

He poked Bai Lin's arm: "Silly boy, your brother got taken advantage of."

Bai Lin followed his gaze and wasn't too surprised to see his younger brother being affectionate with Xie Chen.

He's not some greenhorn anymore.

Judging from Xie Chen's increasingly doting attitude towards Lili after she took human form, he knew that Xie Chen must have something in mind.

That is, his two younger brothers, I haven't realized it yet.

"Xie Chen is a good person."

Bai Lin grasped his hand and said to him, "I'm very relieved to leave Lili in his care."

Yu Yin pulled her hand away, narrowed her eyes, and reminded him, "Don't worry, but your third and sixth brothers aren't so sure."

Bai Lin was stunned for a moment.

He looked up and around, and sure enough, he saw his third brother and sixth brother both kicking Xie Chen.

"Don't worry about them." Bai Lin was very confident in Xie Chen: "Xie Chen can handle it."

The birthday party went very smoothly.

However, outside the birthday banquet, at the door, Guan Liang, who had rushed over after receiving the news, was stopped and couldn't get in at all.

"I'm sorry, your name isn't on our gentleman's invitation list."

The bodyguard at the gate was someone who often followed Xie Chen and was familiar with Guan Liang's situation.

He politely left the pipe beam outside, saying, "Please go back soon."

Guan Liang's face turned ugly: "Do you even know who I am?"

The bodyguard smiled and said, "I don't know."

Yeah, right.

Guan Liang pointed to himself and said arrogantly, "My name is Guan Liang, and my grandfather is Guan Hui."

The bodyguard continued smiling: "Oh."

Grandpa was quite capable, it's a pity he had such a grandson.

Guan Liang introduced himself, but was still not invited in, which made him so angry he almost started a fight.

However, the bodyguards were no pushovers; they managed to get him away before he could go berserk.

"Just you wait."

Guan Liang was young and full of youthful vigor. He was repeatedly rebuffed by Bai Li, which brought out his resentment.

He wasn't angry with Bai Li; he just hated Xie Chen.

If it weren't for Xie Chen, he thought he would have seen Bai Li long ago.

Bai Li looks so innocent and naive; she must have been fooled by that old man Xie Chen!

The more Guan Liang thought about it, the more convinced he became of his idea. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and vowed to rescue Bai Li from Xie Chen's side.

At the banquet?

As the event was about to end, Xie Chen went up on stage. He took Bai Li's hand and thanked the guests for attending and for their blessings to Bai Li in a very formal tone.

At the end of his speech, he suddenly changed the subject and dropped a bombshell.

"Bai Li and I will be holding our engagement ceremony soon. We would like to invite you all to our engagement banquet."

His engagement to Bai Li was unknown to anyone except the working cats, Uncle Xie, and Bai Li's brother.

Today, he officially released this news.

"grass."

The person below turned green with rage: "That guy surnamed Xie definitely did it on purpose."

He deliberately revealed his engagement to Lili in front of everyone, so that they wouldn't have a chance to do anything malicious.

Bai Li was also stunned when she heard Xie Chen's words.

As Bai Li stepped off the stage, she felt her steps were unsteady.

"Mr. Xie, congratulations!"

The astute business owners gathered around and thanked Xie Chen.

In everyone's impression, Xie Chen is a cold and ruthless person who doesn't get close to men or women, and seems destined to grow old alone.

Unexpectedly, this person who was destined to be single actually found a companion.

Furthermore, putting aside gender, the young man Xie Chen was holding hands with was truly stunning in appearance; no wonder Xie Chen was captivated by him.

Bai Li blushed slightly as she looked at the people who came to offer their congratulations, but she still tried her best to remain calm while speaking.

"Thanks."

He expressed his gratitude to those who offered their congratulations.

Among the guests present, the most excited were the reporters.

The reporter was so excited when Xie Chen announced the engagement that he almost fainted!

The reporters who came all knew exactly what was going on; they'd gotten big stuff.

Xie Chen's relationship? It had never been officially announced before, but now that it's been announced, it's all about marriage.

Stimulate.

The reporters, naturally, wouldn't miss this opportunity to make the headlines. They crowded around Xie Chen and asked, "Brother Xie, can we do a brief interview?"

Xie Chen was in a good mood, so he nodded and agreed to the request.

Bai Li was also asked a question.

Reporter: "Brother Xie, when did you and Bai Li officially become a couple?"

Xie Chen thought for a moment: "Strictly speaking, it was confirmed recently."

When he started to care about Lili, he didn't know that he had known Lili before.

The reporter then asked, "So, between the two of you, who confessed their feelings first?"

Bai Li answered the question quickly: "It's me!"

He recognized the man as his fiancé first, so it should be said that he was the one who liked the man first.

Xie Chen let him answer, while he himself reflected on his own actions.

It seems he hasn't formally confessed his feelings to Lili yet.

The reporter continued, "Bai Li, what's your impression of Brother Xie?"

Bai Li blinked and replied, "Sir is exceptionally kind, very gentle, very attentive, and incredibly good to me."

The reporter smiled and pressed, "Could you give an example? How has Brother Xie been so good to you?"

Bai Li was a little embarrassed, but since the reporter had already asked, he could only honestly answer, "He dresses me, cooks for me, and takes me wherever I want to go. He also pays attention to me when I'm working..."

Bai Li recounted his daily interactions with Xie Chen, leaving the reporter speechless with envy.

They really didn't realize that Xie Chen's private interactions with his lover were so doting.

They all originally thought that someone like Xie Chen, with his status and wealth, would only be in a relationship if the other person was just trying to win him over.

result……

When it came to them, everything was reversed.

The reporter's interview wasn't tricky; they wouldn't dare dig any traps for Xie Chen.

The birthday party has ended.

After holding back for a long time, Tan Yi and Bai Xiaoliu went to find their younger brother with cold faces.

"Third Brother, Sixth Brother."

Bai Li was wearing the little hat she had just worn while cutting the cake; it looked quite cute.

His beautiful amber eyes sparkled as he walked over and asked his two older brothers, "Was the cake delicious? Sir bought a really big one."

Tan Yi: "..."

He casually replied, "It's alright."

“Lili”.

Bai Xiaoliu called out to her younger brother, "Why didn't you tell me about your marriage to Xie Chen beforehand?"

Bai Li glanced at her two older brothers' expressions and said matter-of-factly, "I've said that before."

He did mention that he and Xie Chen were betrothed as children, but after saying that, he added that Xie Chen did not accept the betrothal.

Who would have thought that this childhood betrothal would suddenly become valid again?

"Sixth Brother, I like Mr.!"

Mustering her courage, Bai Li loudly confessed her feelings in front of her brother and teacher, and even pleaded, "Can you also like the teacher?"

As he spoke, he quickly explained, "I'm not talking about the same kind of liking."

He likes Mr.

He wanted his brothers to accept Mr.

Bai Xiaoliu remained silent.

The two brothers faced off. Xie Chen wanted to speak, but Bai Li held his hand, preventing him from doing so.

“Lili”.

After a long pause, Bai Xiaoliu gave in: "Are you really sure?"

Bai Li nodded firmly.

"Sure!"

He won't separate from his husband; he loves him very much.

Bai Xiaoliu looked at his younger brother, then at Xie Chen, and felt a pang of heartache.

"never mind."

He felt a tightness in his chest: "If you're sure, then you're sure."

His younger brother, who finally grew up and successfully transformed into human form, is now truly going to be devoured by a pig.
