Chapter 255: Dancing with Elder Brother Li (3)
“But, Sis, are you just going to accept it like this?”
Yan Lili laughed mockingly at herself. Her silly younger sister still did not understand what she was saying. So what if she felt resentful?
She had already lost everything, including her dignity in front of Li Qingcang.
“Qingqing, you are my younger sister. That is why I am trying to counsel you. The person who had told you this is trying to make use of you to get rid of Ye Tianxin. Do you think that you can change everyone’s view with just a few words? Let me tell you, that’s impossible. As long as he stands behind her, she would be able to enter this circle. Do you understand this? That so-called friend of yours is not your true friend!”
Yan Lili patted Yan Qingqing’s shoulder.
Yan Qingqing’s face turned red with anger. She clenched her fists tightly.
‘Lu Qingxin, am I, Yan Qingqing, someone you can make use of? How ludicrous! Just wait. I have hundreds of ways to deal with you.’
She wasn’t expecting such a behavior from Lu Qingxin.
Yan Lili returned to her seat. Given the current situation, she had to look even haughtier and like a princess.
She sat properly.
She must not let other people find a reason to laugh at her.
However, she still could not help but glance at Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang through the corner of her eyes. She thought, ‘They are wearing matching outfits today.’
They were wearing matching outfits.
There also came a day when Li Qingcang, who had always maintained a low-profile, would become visible at high-society events.
It was truly jaw-dropping.
At nine o’clock, Old Madame Xie left after listening to the opera.
The remaining time at the banquet was left to the younger guests to let loose and have fun.
The opera stage that had still been in the room earlier was immediately removed by the staff. It was replaced with an enormous dance floor.
The lights were also dimmed.
Ye Tianxin’s evening gown had seemed very ordinary under the bright lights earlier.
But now that the lights were dimmed, the evening gown that Ye Tianxin wore was especially eye-catching.
Her evening gown looked like a galaxy. She was celestial.
The same went for Li Qingcang, who was seated beside Ye Tianxin.
The two of them immediately became the center of attention.
“d.a.m.n! Your costumes have hidden tricks in them. How scheming!”
The older adults had all left, so Jing Zhichen let loose as well.
He whistled and started teasing Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang, “Go on. Go dance.”
With Jing Zhichen starting the teasing, other people also started to cheer them on. “Dance, dance.”
“Dance, dance.”
Li Qingcang stretched out his hand in front of Ye Tianxin. Ye Tianxin would not shy away at a time like this. She slipped her hand into Li Qingcang’s palm graciously.
They then slipped onto the dance floor.
Ye Tianxin poked out her tongue mischievously. “Elder Brother Li, I am so nervous. My hands are so sweaty.”
Li Qingcang held Ye Tianxin’s slender waist. “Don’t be nervous. I am here,” he tried to comfort her.
These six words seemed like a sedative, quickly calming Ye Tianxin’s beating heart.
She tilted her head up slightly to look at Li Qingcang’s face.
Her heart beat faster. There was a strange feeling in her heart, and it galloped wildly in her chest.
“This is Young Master Li’s first time dancing in public, isn’t it?”
“I didn’t expect Young Master Li to dance so well!”
“Have you heard? The girl dancing with Young Master Li is an illegitimate daughter?”
“That can’t be. Given the Li family’s reputation, how can an illegitimate daughter marry into the Li family?”
“Maybe Young Master Li is just playing around! After all, wildflowers are more fragrant than the flowers at home.”
