This guy was blind and had no idea where Long Yi was. He looked both funny and ridiculous as he was shouting threats into the air.
"General Xu, next time before you say something harsh, could you please look at others? I'm here." Long Yi said jokingly.
These words are truly heartbreaking.
Xu Tiancheng felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. Now that he was blind, he couldn't even figure out where Long Yi was, so how could he talk about revenge?
After the ambulance left, the farce in front of Lingxiao Pavilion officially ended, and the guests filed in.
Ling's mother was originally reluctant to let Long Yi attend the party, but seeing her daughter's joyful look, she finally couldn't bear it and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Brother Yi, this banquet is divided into two areas. The right side is for Jinghai City's upper class, and the left side is for the younger generation, many of whom are my friends."
After Ling Bingqian introduced herself to Long Yi, she put her arm around Long Yi and skipped towards the area on the left.
Many guests had already taken their seats at the banquet. The area on the left was filled with young people in gorgeous clothes. Long Yi also saw a familiar figure among them. It was Huang Yue, the girl who stood next to Fu Bo at the last Yulian Holy Seat transaction.
"Brother Yi, I'm the protagonist this time, so I have to entertain everyone first. You can just walk around." Ling Bingqian playfully stuck out her tongue, then regained her dignified look and walked towards the guests.
"Mr. Long...Mr. Long? I didn't expect to see you here." Huang Yue walked over with two glasses of red wine and bowed slightly to show respect.
Having been with Fu Bo for the past few years, she naturally had to attend high-end events like this frequently. She wore a luxurious Chanel evening gown and had delicate makeup on. Although she wasn't as stunning as Ling Bingqian, she also had the aura of a wealthy young lady from an idol drama.
Long Yi nodded and said, "Miss Huang."
Huang Yue was flattered. "Mr. Long, you're too polite. Just call me Xiaoyue. Last time, my uncle Fu Bo even addressed you as Master Long. How could I possibly deserve to be called Miss?"
Long Yi shook his head and said, "Don't be so rigid. You and I are of similar age, so there's no need to stick to this formal address."
If we really judge by strength, Lu Jiutian, the Sword Saint of Dragon Country, would have to politely call him the Dragon Divine Doctor. What does Fu Bo count for?
It’s just that Long Yi doesn’t like this kind of hypocrisy in situations. It’s always right to be low-key in dealing with people.
"Okay, then I'll call you Long Yi. Are you and Bing Qian good friends?" Huang Yue blinked her big eyes, and the admiration in her eyes was about to overflow.
Among the younger generation present, she was the only one who knew how terrifying Long Yi's strength was. Even the richest businessmen in Jinghai City had to bow their heads when they saw Long Yi and respectfully call him "Master Long".
The last time his uncle Fu Bo toasted Long Yi at the table, he wanted to press the rim of his glass under the table, for fear that Long Yi would think he was disrespectful.
Long Yi was very frugal with words and replied briefly, "She's not a friend, she's my fiancée."
Huang Yuemei's eyes were filled with surprise at first, and then the light in her eyes quickly dimmed.
That's right, only a beauty like Ling Bingqian can be worthy of a man like Long Yi. The other girls in Jinghai City are not as good as her.
She smiled bitterly: "Miss Ling is so lucky. It is such an honor to be your fiancée. But I am afraid that this will hurt the hearts of the sisters Wan Shuang and Wan Xue."
She regretted it the moment she said this. Even Fu Bo had three wives and four concubines. With Long Yi's identity and status, why couldn't he have all the wives?
Young men in groups of three or four in the distance looked over with frowns, their eyes full of confusion.
"What's wrong with Huang Yue? That Long guy just took out a pink diamond, and look at her unrestrained expression. She almost wants to stick her face on that guy."
Someone said it in a sour tone. These words seemed to be contemptuous, but in fact they reflected his jealousy towards Long Yi.
As a man, how could Long Yi win the favor of Ling Bingqian? Now even a beauty like Huang Yue is actively approaching him, and it seems that this guy is still indifferent.
Huang Yue was considered a perfect match by many wealthy young men in Jinghai. Seeing the goddess in her heart throwing herself into Long Yi's arms, she was naturally furious.
Half an hour later, after all the guests were seated, the dinner officially began.
The housekeeper brought out an exquisite nine-layer cake from the kitchen. There were 22 candles on the top of the cake, representing Ling Bingqian's 22nd birthday.
After the lights in the venue were temporarily turned off, only the faint candlelight was left swaying on the cake, creating a full atmosphere.
Friends and relatives first clapped and sang a birthday song together, then Ling Bingqian blew out the candles, closed her eyes and made a wish.
While closing her eyes and making a wish, she opened them slightly and secretly glanced at Long Yi who was standing beside her, with a happy smile on her lips.
“When I was 22, I met the most important person in my life. He was so dazzling that he was the focus of everyone wherever he went.
I wish to be with Brother Long Yi forever and ever... forever."
Although Ling Bingqian was repeating these words in her heart, Long Yi seemed to feel it. He touched her head lovingly, and the love in his heart became stronger.
Even though he bears the hatred of his clan's genocide and the responsibility of finding his mother, he cannot abandon his responsibilities and obligations as a man while walking on this long and arduous road.
If he disappoints this girl who has eyes only for him, then even if he stands at the top of the world, holding power and authority, he will probably only be left with endless loneliness and regret, and there will not even be anyone around him to talk to.
After all, the girl whose heart was filled with you, who looked forward to you, and who applauded you, is no longer here...
When Ling Bingqian finished making her wish and was about to distribute the cake to the guests.
The gate of Lingxiao Pavilion was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with golden eye sockets and a meticulously combed back hair slowly walked out, surrounded by a dozen men in suits.
After Ling Bingqian saw the man's face clearly, she stood there in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes, and the cake in her hand fell to the ground.
"Dad! So you still remember Bingqian's birthday."
The moment Ling's mother saw the middle-aged man, she felt a mixture of resentment, unwillingness, grievance and love, all of which turned into one sentence:
"Are you back? I've saved a seat for you next to Bingqian, come sit down."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, letting the bodyguard behind him leave the door first, and then slowly said: "Bingqian, Dad loves you the most, how could he forget your birthday?
I came back from Suncheon City this afternoon and bought your favorite snacks from your childhood."
He stood gracefully in the center of the banquet, his every move revealing the majesty of a superior.
After handing the dessert to Ling Bingqian, the middle-aged man gave an apologetic smile to Ling's mother beside him and said softly, "You are still as virtuous as before. You were able to keep Lingxiao Pavilion in perfect order even when I was away."
