After Caitlin and Li Lin’s first dance song ended, the remaining time was for the guests to mingle and invite each other to dance.
Li Lin put his left hand around Caitlin's waist, and amid her dissatisfaction but helpless pout, he raised his glass to greet the many young nobles who came forward to congratulate him.
After a while, Jace and Mel came together, and Victor and Skye came together, all holding tall glasses filled with champagne.
"Hahaha... I told you, I've noticed there's something special between you two!"
Jace's loud laughter attracted many curious glances.
Mel looked helpless and reminded him from behind: "Jace, pay attention to your image."
"Congratulations on your marriage." Victor congratulated with a smile.
Although he was not very good at dealing with this kind of situation, he did not feel so restrained in front of acquaintances and with Skye by his side.
Skye, who was standing behind him, was not very familiar with any of the people. He also raised his glass like Victor and said a few words of congratulations, then took a sip of wine without saying much.
At this time, Mel said to the two of them with a hint of teasing in his tone, "So you've already confirmed your relationship privately, and you're just using the coming-of-age ceremony to announce it today?"
Caitlin's ears flushed, and she retorted shyly, "No, no..."
In comparison, Li Lin's face and ears remained calm, which made him seem much more shameless.
"It's just today that we've finally confirmed our relationship," he said with a smile, "but you guys confirmed your relationship much earlier than us."
Jace's smile froze, and his expression became a little awkward. He exchanged a glance with Mel, who was still smiling gently and looking at him with an unchanged expression.
Their performance was exactly the opposite of Li Lin and Caitlin.
"Not long ago, we just confirmed our relationship a while ago."
Jace scratched his head and quickly changed the subject to Victor. "I don't think Victor and Skye are in a confirmed relationship."
As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell among them.
Skye lowered her eyes shyly, glancing at Victor standing in front of her from time to time.
Victor's face turned red for the first time, and he laughed awkwardly a few times without saying a word.
Melmer sighed angrily, blaming Jace in his heart for having no emotional intelligence and being able to say anything.
But after all, he is a man I value, so I have to help him out.
She thought quickly in her mind and then broke the awkward atmosphere, "So...how are you two going to deal with Councillor Gilaman?"
Her eyes swept over Caitlin and then paused briefly on Li Lin.
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Caitlin's face froze slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Li Lin beside her.
"I think Lady Karina won't object to us."
Li Lin patted Caitlin lightly with his left hand twice, comforting her a little, while a confident smile appeared on his face.
"Oh~~? Are you so confident?" Mel's face showed curiosity. "How are you going to convince her?"
Li Lin paused for two seconds and then slowly said, "First of all, as Jace said before, Mr. Elro was also a craftsman. Didn't he marry Madam Karina?"
"That's true..." Mel nodded thoughtfully, "But I don't think Councillor Gilaman will compromise because of this."
"Then use enough new inventions to further highlight my value and prove that I am qualified to become the son-in-law of the Gilaman family."
Li Lin turned his head and looked at Caitlin who was surprised beside him, and continued:
"It's time to show off the radios I've saved and the blueprints for over a dozen types of Hextech weaponry."
