Li Family Banquet (3)
At this moment, Xiao Zhuer is somewhere busy with her business, so no one will stop the Li Family.
If Xiao Zhuer knew who Ye Lang was, she probably wouldn't have left, no matter how important the business was!
She has some feelings for Ye Lang now, but she wouldn't give up a chance to make money for him, especially since the Kongming Lantern Ye Lang Ye Lang earlier gave her a keen business sense, and that's what she's been focusing on lately.
"What is it?" Ye Lang asked after hearing that someone was looking for him. At that moment, the servants of the Li Family had already arrived in front of him.
"This is an invitation from Miss. She hopes you can attend the banquet tonight!" A servant from the Li Family handed an invitation to Ye Lang looked at him curiously for a while.
The servants of the Li Family were curious about who Ye Lang was, that their young lady would send out an invitation. Their young lady had never done anything like this before, not even royalty.
Could it be that Miss has fallen for this young Fox Tribe Young Master? That seems a bit unlikely. He doesn't seem to be Miss's type, even though he is very handsome and a pretty boy.
However, this kind of beauty often makes people feel that she lacks masculinity, and a soldier like Miss would not like a man who lacks masculinity.
That seems impossible. Hmm, that can't be it. Miss invited him for some other reason, not because she liked him!
"I don't have time! I'm too busy!!" Ye Lang said directly. Obviously, he hadn't thought that the invitation was sent by Li Yue. He thought it was from some other noble lady. He had received quite a few invitations in the past few days.
With Ye Lang's current appearance, the Fox Family background, and the Kongming Lantern incident that night, he has become a focus of attention. Although this focus is not very prominent, he still receives a constant stream of invitations.
"This..." The servant of the Li Family was stunned. He did not expect Ye Lang to refuse Li Yue's invitation. This was too unexpected.
And if he knew that Ye Lang considered him someone else, his expression would be even more interesting!
"Don't bother me, I want to just stand here and space out for a bit!" Ye Lang said blankly, staring at the blue sky.
"Well, Ford Fox, I've left the invitation here. If you have time, go ahead; if not, I have no objection! However, my young lady rarely invites people, so please cherish this opportunity!" The Li Family servant said to Ye Lang.
"Oh, I see! Then please convey my gratitude to your young lady for me..." Ye Lang said casually, and judging from his still dazed expression, he didn't seem to care about the matter at all.
Based on the Li Family's guesses, Ye Lang probably wouldn't even bother to look at the invitation. Yes, that was the impression Ye Lang gave them!
In fact, Ye Lang hadn't paid attention to this matter and had been in a daze. If Cold-Blooded Fifth hadn't dealt with it later, he might have missed this opportunity.
"What? It's Li Yue's invitation? What was wrong with that person just now? Why didn't they explain? I almost missed this opportunity!" Ye Lang said immediately after Cold-Blooded Fifth reminded him. Judging from his words, he seemed to be blaming others for not saying anything.
"Although he didn't say it, you didn't ask either..." Cold-Blooded Fifth said from the side, pointing out Ye Lang's own mistake.
"Uh, is this my fault?" Ye Lang thought for a moment and realized that he did indeed have a little bit of a problem.
"If it's not your fault, is it mine?" Cold-Blooded Fifth said.
"... It's my fault!" Ye Lang honestly took responsibility for the mistake.
"Since Li Yue has invited you, you should prepare to take her down tonight!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said from the side.
"Hmm!!" Ye Lang raised a fist and replied very seriously.
Night, another enchanting night. The moon in the sky, though still a crescent, possesses a mystery that a full moon lacks, creating a beautiful scene with the twinkling stars in the night sky.
However, not many people know how to look up at the night sky, at least not in the Li Family. Everyone is busy socializing and has no time to look up at the beautiful night sky.
However, not everyone missed it. At least one beautiful young lady in the courtyard was watching. She leaned gently against a pillar, tilting her beautiful face up and gazing at the night sky with her silver eyes, as beautiful as the moon.
Quietly, so quietly, it was as if she were the only person in the world!
"Miss Li Yue, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you for so long!" A discordant voice rang out, accompanied by a rather incongruous person who, judging from his appearance, was a beast in a glamorous guise.
Yes, at least some people thought that when they saw this person!
It goes without saying that the beautiful lady is none other than Li Yue, Ye Lang's leading lady tonight!
Like most soldiers, Li Yue doesn't really enjoy socializing and usually stays away from such situations unless there's no other way.
Just like the Li Family's patriarch— Grand Marshal Li—he generally wouldn't attend such social events. However, he always showed up for important ones. This was a consequence of his status, a feeling that was very easy to understand—
When you're in the world, you're not always in control of your own destiny!
"I'm waiting for someone!" Li Yue replied calmly, ignoring the person who had arrived.
"Waiting for someone? Waiting for whom?" the visitor asked, puzzled. Almost everyone else had already arrived, so who was Li Yue waiting for?
Furthermore, who could be the person who could make Li Yue wait? Based on his understanding of Li Yue, he couldn't think of anyone who could make her wait.
"You don't need to know that!" Li Yue said calmly, continuing to look at the night sky, while thinking to herself, what are you doing? Why haven't you shown up so late? The banquet has already started.
"..." The man fell silent, his expression turning somewhat grim. With his keen sense of touch, he could tell that Li Yue was missing someone, possibly someone she was waiting for.
And with that expression, the person she's waiting for is very likely a man!
Li Yue is missing a man? This is outrageous! Isn't this blatantly saying that she has a love rival?!
I'll see who dares to steal my woman!
The man thought fiercely to himself, but he didn't show it. Li Yue wasn't an ordinary person, and if he had such messy thoughts, it would definitely offend Li Yue, and he might even be kicked out of the Li Family.
Regardless, even before Ye Lang arrived here, he had already become the focus of attention, and the focus of hatred!
