Qi Yihan took the jacket and put it on. Then he ordered. “Music.”

The music started. He placed one hand behind his back and reached out his other hand to Tang Li, his palm up.

Although he still had a cold face, the action was exceptionally graceful and domineering when it was done by him. It instantly made the ladies and madams of the wealthy families tremble and shrill uncontrollably.

Placing her slender fingers on his palm, the two of them walked into the dance floor.

Lucia clenched her fists and would have grimaced if she hadn’t been trying so hard to control herself. At that moment, Milus pressed a hand on her shoulder, reminding her to rein in her anger.

Only then did Lucia hold his hand and walk to the dance floor with him.

The two pairs leading the dance both looked extremely handsome, especially Tang Li and Qi Yihan. Tang Li vividly portrayed the gentle and belligerent traits of the people of the Imperial Capital. Her perfect figure and exquisite face told all women that they were inferior to her.

All the women were jealous, but there was nothing they could do.

“No doubt she has a good face and figure, but her character is awful. Fourth Master obviously doesn’t like her at all, he took her here because of his father.”

“Exactly, face and figure are nothing. I believe that Fourth Master Qi is not such a shallow person.”

“As a member of the Tang family, she can’t even play the instruments well. What a shame.”

“I’ve never heard of her knowing any skills.”

“She is the best at lying and spouting nonsense to scare people.”

“Maybe she tricked Fourth Master with her nonsense!”

After the two pairs danced for a while, other young men and women joined them.

When there were more people, Tang Li finally relaxed. She blinked at Qi Yihan playfully and leaned against him, asking, “Hubby, I didn’t embarrass you, did I?”

Qi Yihan moved his hand on her hips, as if he was praising her, but his expression was still a little solemn. The moment he lowered his eyes, he could see the view inside her dress. He pursed his lips tightly, thinking about how to cover her up. When it came to bundling his wife up, he was absolutely a chauvinist.

“If you feel cold…”

“The air conditioner is off, I’m not cold.”

Tang Li raised her head to look him in the eyes. She knew what he was thinking. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When I use a psychedelic talisman later, no one will be able to see what you are seeing.”

Hearing that, Qi Yihan finally looked less tense.

After the song ended, everyone took their glasses from the waiter and surrounded Qi Yihan and Milus.

“President Qi, Mr. Milus, congratulations!”

“I wish the Qi family and KL Group the best in terms of nanotechnology.”

“Thank you.”

The men drank while the women were led to the lounge by the Qi family’s madams.

At first, Tang Li was drinking with Qi Yihan until Third Madam came to call her. “Fourth Sister-in-law, we should go entertain the female guests.”

Tang Li nodded and informed Qi Yihan before heading over with Third Madam.

Third Madam reminded her, “Fourth sister-in-law, you should ask Miss Lucia to come with you.”

Tang Li looked at Lucia, who was standing beside Milus. Although Lucia was talking with the men, she would now and then throw a look at the women in the lounge. It was obvious that she had something in mind,

However, Tang Li was not worried or scared of her.

She raised her glass at Lucia and invited to come over. “Miss Lucia, we plan to go to the lounge. Do you want to come with us?”

Lucia sneered inwardly.

Now was her chance.

She held a glass of wine and said with a perfect smile, “There’s no rush. Since today is the celebratory banquet for the signing of the contract between the Qi Group and KL Group, at a time like this, drinking isn’t enough.”

“Yeah? Then what Miss Lucia has in mind?” Tang Li maintained her smile, pretending to not notice her malicious intentions.

However, Third Madam was a little anxious.

Everyone looked at these two beautiful women and wondered what surprises they would bring to everyone. Some of the women were even shouting excitedly in their hearts, “It’s starting! It’s starting!”

After Tang Li asked that question, Lucia said naturally, “I heard that Fourth Madam is the daughter of a musical family?”

“Yes.” Tang Li nodded.

“Since you are from a musical family, Fourth Madam should be proficient in many kinds of instruments belonging to the Imperial Capital?”

“A lot is a bit too much. But I’d say I can handle two or three.”

Lucia sneered in her heart, thinking to herself, “Everyone is saying that you don’t know any instruments. Since you want to put on an act, I will make you make a fool of yourself.”

“Why don’t we each use an instrument to play a song to celebrate our happy cooperation?”

Everyone looked at Tang Li.

Previously, it was rumored that Tang Li was not proficient in any instrument.

Apparently, Lucia must have heard about this rumor and deliberately made things difficult for her.

“I knew that Lucia would definitely make things difficult for her tonight.” Qi Yulu did not pity Tang Li at all. Instead, she thought of something else. “If she loses to Lucia and makes her happy, will she let Mr. Milus let go of my brother?”

Qi Yunyao was delighted upon hearing that. “It’s highly possible. If Lucia likes Fourth Uncle, she will definitely want to compete with Tang Li. If she wins, Fourth Uncle might treat her differently.”

Qi Manli, who was standing beside them, started to worry. She had been observing Fourth Uncle’s expression the entire time. From the various expressions on his face tonight, she could tell that Fourth Uncle definitely liked Tang Li. If Tang Li lost to Lucia, would Fourth Uncle be angry?

She didn’t know where she got the courage from, but she suddenly leaped up and said, “Miss Lucia, why don’t I play a song with you?”

Everyone looked at Qi Manli, who had stepped forward.

Lucia narrowed her eyes unhappily, wondering who this reckless intruder was.

She was about to scold her rudely when Tang Li hastened to lecture Qi Manli first.

“Manli, Miss Lucia wants to perform a song with me. Aren’t you trying to ruin her fun by replacing me?”

Qi Manli did not expect to be told this by Tang Li. In addition, everyone was looking at her strangely. She suddenly felt extremely awkward and her face instantly turned red.

Tang Li retracted her gaze from Qi Manli to Lucia. She smiled and said, “Miss Lucia, my junior is being impetuous, please don’t hold it against her.”

“Of course, I won’t.” Lucia also had a smile on her face and was very friendly. “She must be worried that you can’t play any instruments and would embarrass the Qi family… Since Fourth Madam knows how to play instruments, let’s get going, shall we?”.
