Li Mu, can we go aside and talk?
Ling Hao mustered his courage and asked again, somewhat anxiously.
I'm sorry, Miss Li and I are old friends. We've met again and have a lot to talk about. Besides, I think Miss Li would rather catch up with me.
That's right, Miss Li.
Li Mu smiled slightly at Qi Huai.
Young Master Ling, what do you want to say to our Xiaoxiao?
Have you forgotten who you are?
My Xiaoxiao is your wife's older sister. Look how angry your wife is, go and comfort her.
Jiangsu spoke to Ling Hao with righteous indignation and disdain.
Shut up, I wasn't talking to you.
Ling Hao spoke fiercely to Jiangsu, his eyes and tone filled with a warning.
Jiangsu was a little scared, but for Li Mu's sake, she was prepared to face the challenge head-on and stand tall to continue her angry confrontation.
Su Su.
Li Mu stopped him, and Jiangsu gave him a look.
Qi Huai stood beside Li Mu, his eyes fixed on her.
Just as Li Mu grabbed Jiangsu, Qi Huai stepped forward the next second.
Then, looking at the man standing next to Li Mu, anger surged to his head, and he raised his fist to strike him.
Mi Xi snapped out of her daze and saw Ling Hao raise his fist to hit the envoy. She quickly stood up and ran over to stop Ling Hao.
Go away.
When Ling Hao saw that the person who stopped him was Mi Xi, his eyes held a complex and unspeakable look.
Brother Hao, please don't do this. There are so many people here. If we start making a scene, everyone will look at us.
His Highness the Crown Prince is here, and the bigwigs in the military and political circles are all here too. No matter what, I will help you with whatever you want. Can I go back now?
Mi Xi used a low, coaxing voice that only the two of them could hear, her tone pleading.
Ling Hao ultimately couldn't bring himself to push Mi Xi away, and now he doesn't know how he feels about her anymore.
Ling Hao looked at Li Mu again, and reluctantly sat back down in his seat.
How about we go over there and catch up?
Qi Huai's eyes were gentle and his tone was full of doting affection.
Just as Li Mu was about to agree, she felt someone watching her. She looked in that direction and saw Qin Yin. His mask was only partially covering his face, and all that could be seen were his tightly pursed lips and his deep eyes.
Li Mu felt a tremor in his heart as he suddenly remembered what he had once said.
Uncle Qin, actually I have someone I like.
Do you have someone you like?
Didn't you say you liked me?
"I only said that on a whim," Li Mu said, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.
So who do you like? Who is the person you like?
I, I, I like a person named Qi Huai.
Yes, his name is Qi Huai, and he's the one I like.
Qi Huai?
Qi Huai, Qi Huai, Qin Yin gave a bitter smile.
Okay, I wish you all the best.
Qin Yin turned and left.
The scene from that day is still vivid in her mind. Li Mu will never forget that day, and she will never forget Uncle Qin's dejected figure.
Under Qin Yin's gaze, the words "good" that she wanted to say stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.
Qi Huai, you're representing Country R this time. Why don't you go back to the main table? Can we meet and talk again at another time?
Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow.
Li Mu smiled and nodded.
Qi Huai turned around and met Qin Yin's cold and murderous eyes.
Qi Huai, or rather Miyamoto Nanhuai, frowned slightly at the gaze of the Qin family head, then quickly relaxed and sat back down in his seat as if nothing had happened.
Qin Yin sat at a distance, taking in everything. He saw the complex emotions in Ling Hao's eyes, Li Mu's joy at seeing Miyamoto Nanhuai, and the love in Miyamoto Nanhuai's eyes for Li Mu. His deep eyes saw through everything.
Miyamoto Nanhuai, or rather, Qi Huai.
Yes, Qi Huai, of course he knew who Qi Huai was.
He remembered, he remembered the little girl telling him herself that she didn't love him, she loved Qi Huai.
Qin Yin asked the question after seeing Miyamoto Nanhuai sit down.
When did the head of the Miyamoto family come to China?
I set off immediately upon receiving His Highness the Crown Prince's invitation, arriving just yesterday evening.
Oh? It arrived yesterday.
Head of the Miyamoto family, I'd like to spend a few more days traveling around our country.
Yes, definitely, I will definitely make this trip worthwhile.
Master Li, I have a question.
After walking around, Li Jiancheng returned to the main table, maintaining a gentle and refined demeanor.
Your Highness, what would you like to ask?
This prince simply wants to ask whether Miss Li is single or has someone she likes.
Upon hearing this question, Qin Yin, Li Hongyun, Old Master Ling, Ling Chenfeng, Qin Yun, Qin Reng, and Miyamoto Nanhuai, all sitting at the main table, turned their gazes toward Li Jiancheng.
Wow!
That's awesome.
Well.
Death is dancing on his head.
Six, six, six is awesome.
At this moment, Qin Yun and Qin Reng silently lit a candle for Li Jiancheng in their hearts.
Qin Yin was already in a bad mood when he saw Li Mu was about to agree. This cold or dark side of Qin Yin was spreading endlessly within him.
Indeed, Qin Yin was exuding a cold aura at this moment.
Li Jiancheng, who was right next to him, naturally sensed it, but he managed to withstand the aura.
Li Hongyun was also in a bad mood, feeling very angry. What was wrong with the Crown Prince? What had gotten into him?
Could it be that they're trying to make a move on my little Mumu?
No, absolutely not, it's not allowed.
Oops, Li Hongyun pretended to accidentally spill wine on himself.
Your Highness, this is...
Someone, take Patriarch Li to clean up this mess.
A maid came over and respectfully guided Li Hongyun away from the banquet.
With Li Hongyun gone, no one will remember Li Jiancheng's problem.
He sat down, glanced at Qin Yin seemingly casually, and leisurely downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.
What's wrong with my second uncle?
how?
It's nothing, but I feel like you're not in a good mood today, Second Uncle. Is it because I haven't been hospitable enough?
Your Highness the Crown Prince is overthinking it.
Your Highness, you know exactly what my second brother is like.
It was Qin Yun who spoke.
Li Jiancheng hated Qin Yun so much that his teeth itched. Hu Yidao, who led the military rebellion in H City, was a trusted confidant that Li Jiancheng had cultivated for many years. If it weren't for Qin Yin's strong control over the military bases in various cities, Hu Yidao's betrayal would not have been discovered.
His hatred was forcibly suppressed, and his smile remained warm.
Perhaps so. Last time the army rebelled, it was really thanks to Marshal Qin that China was so fortunate to have Marshal Qin.
Qin Yun smiled slightly and looked at Li Jiancheng.
The military rebellion was my fault; how could I possibly accept His Highness the Crown Prince's words of being incredibly fortunate?
I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince has already chosen a princess consort?
The speaker was Lingchenfeng.
Upon hearing this, Li Jiancheng gave Ling Chenfeng an approving look.
Perhaps.
Whom does His Highness the Crown Prince find pleasing?
