Gigolo (1)

"Li Yue, what are you doing here? The guests have arrived, why don't you come in quickly!" Li Yan called out shortly afterward. It wasn't because he cared about Li Yue; he didn't have time for that. He had just been chatting happily with those noble ladies, and he had only reluctantly been called over by his father to find Li Yue.

Although Li Yan had been severely punished and suffered serious physical injuries, he recovered completely a few days ago after twenty days of recuperation, thanks to the magic and medical skills of this world, and was back to his old self.

Although Li Yan's reputation wasn't great, it didn't affect his status in social circles. Since his position as the young master of the Li Family remained unchanged, he was still very popular among the nobles of the capital, especially among the noble ladies of his age.

"Wait a minute, I'm waiting for my guests! My guests haven't arrived yet," Li Yue replied.

"Your guests? You sent out invitations to other people?" Li Yan asked curiously. He had never seen his sister send out invitations or invite guests before.

Logically speaking, a noble lady should at least have a few close friends, so it's normal to give them the position. However, Li Yue doesn't seem to have any close friends, at most a few good ones, and they gradually drifted apart after she entered the military camp.

"Mm." Li Yue nodded.

"Male or female?" Li Yan asked, almost as if possessed. He had never thought of asking this question before, as it would give off an ambiguous feeling.

Given Li Yue's situation, it seems highly unlikely that she would want to have an ambiguous relationship. If she did, the Li Family would be very happy.

Of course, only the Li Family was happy; others might not be, especially those who were pursuing Li Yue. Their hearts would undoubtedly be in turmoil, unable to find peace.

Meanwhile, the beast nearby—well, it should be said that it looked like a beast, a beast in disguise, a beast in human clothing—was looking at Li Yue and praying in his heart.

It can't be a man, it can't be a man!!

"It's a man!" Li Yue replied softly.

Boom~

The beast in human clothing had his mind blown, and his not-so-beastly face began to turn into something utterly beastly.

"Oh, I understand!" Li Yan nodded and went inside. He wanted to report this news to his father, and he believed that after learning about it, his father, Li Tianjun, would not allow Li Yue to come in.

Although many people attended this aristocratic gathering, it wasn't very important. The absence of Li Yue wouldn't matter; the most important thing right now was Li Yue's happiness.

Who is that man?

Li Tianjun wanted to know the answer to this question, as did Madam Li, and almost everyone who knew about it wanted to know as well.

Which man is so charming that he could make Li Yue, this fairy-like woman, fall in love?

While everyone was socializing, they couldn't help but look outside and at the person coming in through the door, wanting to see the man Li Yue was waiting for as soon as possible.

At the same time, people couldn't help but think that this man was too inconsiderate, why hadn't he shown up yet so late, leaving Li Yue waiting for him here.

"Is he not coming? Or did he not receive my invitation?" As time passed, Li Yue began to have some wild thoughts.

Just as she was lost in thought, Ye Lang finally appeared, led by a servant, and came into Li Yue's sight.

As Li Yue gazed at the night sky, she immediately sensed Ye Lang's presence and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard!

"Why are you so late?" Li Yue appeared in front of Ye Lang in a flash, which made everyone's eyes blur and their hearts startled at the same time.

Judging from Li Yue's behavior, this man seems to be very important to her, making her very nervous. This relationship is not an ordinary male-female relationship; it seems to be even more complex than she imagined.

"Ah, Li Yue, you scared me! I thought someone was going to attack me." Ye Lang patted his chest, and he wasn't joking. Cold-Blooded Fifth had almost attacked just now.

"Who would dare attack you here? You were invited by me!" Li Yue said, looking at Ye Lang. "Tell me, why are you so late?"

"Is it late? When did the banquet start? I thought I arrived quite early," Ye Lang asked blankly.

"..." Li Yue seemed to have realized a problem. It seemed that she had forgotten to write the time on her invitation. It only said "tonight" without specifying the exact time.

"It's almost eight o'clock now, do you think it's still early?" Li Yue said irritably. Even if the time wasn't written down, it was already too late.

"Hmm!" Ye Lang nodded, indicating that it was still early.

"..." Li Yue was speechless. You're being too decisive.

In fact, Li Yue didn't know that Ye Lang didn't really think it was early; he just couldn't say that he was delayed by some things, otherwise he would have arrived much earlier.

What's up?

It wasn't until after Li Yue, when he was about to throw the invitation in the trash, that the sharp-eyed and quick-handed Cold-Blooded Fifth discovered it.

Could he tell Li Yue about this? Obviously not.

"Li Yue, is he the person you've been waiting for?" the person who had been waiting on the side asked.

"Yes." Li Yue nodded, maintaining a polite demeanor, but it was only superficial politeness.

"What is it about him that makes you wait for him? Is it just because of his appearance? The Fox Tribe is indeed all show and no substance. Ah, slip of the tongue, I mean, exceptionally handsome." The man looked at Ye Lang and said sarcastically.

He felt a pang of jealousy, not only for Li Yue's attitude towards Ye Lang, but also for Ye Lang's handsome appearance.

"This is none of your business!" Li Yue said coldly, pulling Ye Lang away. Although it wasn't a small hand holding a big hand, but just holding his wrist, it still made the situation very delicate.

If the previous situation was just a hint of jealousy, now it's like the vinegar jar has been overturned. Of course, this is without even considering whether the other person has the right to be jealous.

The man stared at Ye Lang, a hint of jealousy flickering in his eyes. He wanted to explode, to lash out, but he couldn't find a way to vent.

Ye Lang didn't do anything. He didn't hold Li Yue's hand; Li Yue took the initiative herself. What could that person say? Could it be that Li Yue isn't good enough?

For a suitor, this is a very unwise act. And this beast in human clothing is no ordinary person; otherwise, he wouldn't be a beast in human skin.

"Ah..."

When Li Yue pulled Ye Lang into the banquet hall, she noticed the people at the entrance, their mouths agape in astonishment.
