Chapter 264: Exclusive Seal
Li Yan’s hot breath blew on Chu Luo’s neck. She couldn’t stand it anymore and pushed his face away. “I’m going to watch the show.”
Li Yan kissed her palm.
Chu Luo quickly let go of his hand as if she had been scalded.
In the next second, her neck was attacked.
“Tsk…”
Chu Luo gasped. After he let go, she raised her hand to touch the spot that was a little painful and asked in dissatisfaction, “What did you do to my neck?”
“An exclusive seal.”
When Chu Luo heard this, her eyes darted around. She turned around and hugged his neck before pulling him in. She muttered, “It’s impolite not to reciprocate. I want to stamp a seal on you too.”
With that, she bit his neck.
Li Yan let her bite him.
After Chu Luo finished biting him, he leaned his chin on her shoulder and let out a low laugh of delight.
The laughter rushed into Chu Luo’s ears and she couldn’t stand it anymore.
She wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction and said, “Don’t laugh into my ear.”
Li Yan kissed her earlobe a few times before letting go of her waist. He then took out a jewelry box from his pocket and handed it to her.
Chu Luo took it curiously and opened it. Inside was a beautiful pair of earrings.
“I got someone to install a communicator on the ear stud. If you want to contact me, just press the ear stud.”
Chu Luo nodded.
Li Yan took out the earrings and put them on her before holding her hand and walking out of the door.
It was almost seven in the evening.
After the two of them took the elevator down and got into the car, Qin Ming walked over with a lunchbox.
Li Yan took the food box and Qin Ming closed the car door.
The moment the car drove out, Li Yan raised the front and back fender, opened the window, and pulled out the dining table before opening the lunchbox.
There were several layers of food in the lunchbox, and there were actually seven to eight types of food inside.
Chu Luo looked at these and asked in surprise, “Are we eating dinner directly in the car?”
“Mm, let’s fill our stomachs first. After the banquet, we’ll go have supper.”
Chu Luo nodded and happily picked up her chopsticks to eat.
After the two of them finished eating, the car drove for another ten minutes before arriving outside the Qin residence.
The Qin family was one of the two most elite families in the capital. Their residence was a prince’s residence left behind from the previous dynasty.
The two lions by the gate of the Qin family were mighty and domineering. With the thick gate, if Chu Luo didn’t look at the luxury cars parked around her, she would have thought that she had returned to her dynasty.
“The Qin family actually lives in such a place.”
“You like it?” Li Yan suddenly asked.
Chu Luo shook her head. “Compared to such a place, I prefer my home.”
Li Yan grabbed her hand. “Which home?”
Chu Luo looked at him with bright eyes. “My home, of course.”
In the next second, the back of her hand was pinched lightly.
Chu Luo puffed up her cheeks and glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Li Yan said to her sternly, “The Li family villa is your home. The old district is only considered a side courtyard.”
“…”
As the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the barrier. Chu Luo subconsciously tilted her head and looked out of the car window.
A middle-aged person and two youngsters came out of the door.
Among them was Qin Xiang, who Chu Luo knew.
Qin Xiang was dressed especially exquisitely tonight. With her beautiful face and alluring figure, she exuded a confident aura that said, “I will definitely be the most beautiful tonight.”
The young man standing beside her lowered his eyes slightly, but his body exuded a forbearing coldness.
Li Yan pulled out a wheelchair from behind and sat in it.
Qin Ming alighted and opened the car door.
The three people from the Qin family quickly stood to the side.
Qin Ming and the bodyguard carried his wheelchair down.
“CEO Li, welcome, welcome.”
The middle-aged man waited for Li Yan’s wheelchair to land on the ground before extending his hand to him. No matter what he thought on the inside, he appeared especially warm on the surface.
Li Yan only glanced at his hand coldly before turning to look into the car and extending his hand.
The face of the young man standing beside the middle-aged man darkened. He was about to flare up when he was stopped by the middle-aged man’s warning gaze.
Chu Luo was led out of the car by Li Yan and stood beside his wheelchair.
Two pairs of eyes immediately locked on her.
Chu Luo glanced at Qin Xiang, whose expression changed several times after seeing her. The corners of her lips curled up before she retracted her gaze.
The middle-aged man retracted his hand with a natural expression and asked with a smile, “This is the talented Chu Luo, right? She’s indeed as the rumors say.”
Chu Luo only nodded at him, but her expression was distant.
Qin Xiang, who was standing there, couldn’t stand it anymore and snorted coldly.
The middle-aged man remained enthusiastic and gestured towards the door.
“CEO Li, please come in.”
With that, he led the way.
Qin Ming pushed Li Yan’s wheelchair in while Chu Luo followed beside him.
Qin Xiang also planned to follow immediately, but the young man suddenly pulled her.
Qin Xiang was shocked and quickly looked at Li Yan and the others, who were being carried in the wheelchair by the two of them because of the stairs. She lowered her voice and asked, “Second Brother, what are you doing?”
Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at them. He asked her, “Last night, you followed Third Uncle to the Li residence. Did you see Chu Luo?”
Qin Xiang looked at him suspiciously. “Why are you asking this?”
“Didn’t you see the mark on Li Yan’s neck? It was obviously Chu Luo who bit him. Do you think a person like Li Yan would let a woman be so impudent to him under any circ.u.mstances?”
Qin Zhao’s lips curled up into a meaningful smile. “Didn’t Third Uncle ask you to think of a way to make Li Yan marry you? Do you think you have a chance to interfere in this situation?”
Qin Xiang frowned. She didn’t want to marry that cold cripple at all. She didn’t care who that cripple liked.
Qin Zhao seemed to have read her mind and reminded her, “You have to think carefully. If you don’t grasp the opportunity tonight, Tenth Sister and Eleventh Sister will do the same thing. When that time comes, one of them will marry Li Yan and the t.i.tle of the world’s richest lady will be theirs.”
Qin Xiang subconsciously snorted and looked at Qin Zhao with a nonchalant expression. “Isn’t that good?”
Qin Zhao lowered his voice. “Sixth Sister, you’re being silly. It was Third Uncle’s idea to have you marry Li Yan. If you don’t complete Third Uncle’s mission, do you think you can still have a good life in the future and still be together with the man you like?”
When Qin Xiang heard this, her heart sank. “Second Brother, you actually sent someone to follow me!”
“How can you think of me like that?” Qin Zhao revealed a pained expression. “I just happened to see you hugging a man. Don’t worry, I didn’t tell anyone about this.”
Qin Xiang wasn’t stupid. Qin Zhao was from Second Uncle’s family. Every family in their generation had a few men, and they were all secretly trying to fight for the position of the family head. She would definitely help her biological older brother. “Second Brother, you’re so considerate of me. You must be after something, right?”
A ruthless glint flashed across Qin Zhao’s eyes, but his lips curled into a cynical smile. “You know as well as I do that I’m not very interested in the family business, but Li Yan’s woman aroused my interest.”
“You…” Qin Xiang was surprised, but when she thought of Chu Luo’s appearance, she snorted in displeasure. “Indeed, all men are the same.”
“Haha… Everyone loves beauty. Is Sixth Sister willing to cooperate with me now?
“I’ve tried this method a hundred times. You have to know that other than Tenth Sister and Eleventh Sister, the Duanmu family also brought young women today. There are also other families. Do I have to spell out the meaning for you?”
Qin Xiang still didn’t believe him. “You can also work with Tenth Sister and Eleventh Sister. Why do you have to work with me?”
“Because you’re better than them in many ways,” Qin Zhao said, then pointed at her figure.
Qin Xiang raised her chin smugly and finally felt relieved. “What do you have in mind?”
Qin Zhao whispered something in her ear.
When Qin Xiang heard this, her eyes widened. “You actually want to…”
“Shh!” Qin Zhao hushed her. “Let’s go in first or Third Uncle will be angry.”
Qin Xiang nodded and the two of them strode towards the door.
…
When Li Yan and Chu Luo were brought into the banquet hall, the bustling scene instantly fell silent.
Surprise flashed across many people’s eyes. They wondered what Master Li’s attendance at the Qin family banquet tonight meant.
However, some people stared at Li Yan and had an idea.
Third Master Qin brought Li Yan to the other members of the Qin family in the living room.
As a top wealthy family, the Qin family actually looked down on businessmen like Li Yan deep down. However, they wanted to gain benefits from him today and were very warm towards him.
“I heard that CEO Li managed to clinch another major international project in Country B this time. As expected of a business overlord. Your boldness isn’t something ordinary people can compare to.”
“CEO Li is really young yet promising!”
…
After the Qin family unilaterally praised Li Yan with small talk, Eldest Master Qin got the servants to bring over wine.
The servant brought the wine to Li Yan and Chu Luo.
The two of them took it.
Eldest Master Qin said, “The Qin family hasn’t held a banquet in a long time. Tonight, I’ll use the occasion of my grandson turning one year old to make everyone happy together. Come, CEO Li, let me toast you.”
After saying that, he drank the wine in one go.
Li Yan took only a sip.
Eldest Master Qin didn’t mind. He gestured to the juniors of the Qin family. “Make the guests feel welcome.”
Many people knew that Li Yan wasn’t someone they could fawn over. The Qin family must have something to discuss with Li Yan today, so after Eldest Master Qin finished speaking, they dispersed.
However, people from the Duanmu family and one or two other families walked over with wine gla.s.ses.
