Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When evening came, Cui Si took out an evening gown that she had treasured for a long time.

She had bought it for a photoshoot with Chen Lin. But since they had broken up, she had almost thrown it away.

The only reason she didn’t was that the gown was too expensive. She wasn’t willing to part with so much money.

Li Leyi waited for Cui Si on her sofa. They were only going to meet the one person he needed. So it didn’t matter what she wore.

But when he saw Cui Si walk out in her evening gown, he was stunned.

Cui Si had always appeared to him as an ordinary girl. Sure, she was more good-looking than the average person, but tonight, she looked absolutely stunning.

The way she wore her evening gown made her look like a noble elven princess.

“Leyi, what’s wrong?

“Is it that bad? I’ll go get changed. Just wait a little longer, I’ll be done soon.”

Li Leyi quickly grabbed Cui Si’s wrist and shook his head.

“Cui Si, there’s no need to change. This outfit is fine. I just didn’t expect you to look so good when you’re dressed up.”

Li Leyi’s face turned red as he spoke, like a child who had just fallen in love. He had just fallen in love at first sight.

Cui Si’s face was also red. No one had ever praised her like that before.

…

When the couple arrived at the venue of the banquet, the security guard at the entrance immediately stopped them.

“This is a private banquet. Please show me your invitation cards or you won’t be allowed to enter.”

Li Leyi took out the invitation cards from his inner chest pocket and showed them to the guard. Then, he started to lead Cui Si into the hall.

“Wait.”

Li Leyi and Cui Si looked at the guard in confusion. Didn’t they already give the invitation cards? Why were they still not allowed to enter?

“Your invitations don’t look right. I’m afraid you’re not allowed to enter.”

Only then did Li Leyi realize that Lin Xiang had been toying with him. The invitation he gave was fake.

“Yo, isn’t this the young master of the Li family?

“Why are you allowed in?”

A group of men who were Lin Xiang’s followers had seen them and decided to tease them. They knew Lin Xiang had done this on purpose.

Cui Si immediately knew what was going on.

“Leyi, let’s go. We don’t have to bother with these pieces of trash. We’ll find another way in.”

Cui Si dragged Li Leyi away.

But the men stopped them and had the couple surrounded. Each of them looked at them with ill intentions.

“You want to leave after saying those words to us?”

“The little girl is pretty good looking and her driving skills are good too. But I wonder how good she is in bed!”

“That’s right, Li Leyi, you can scram now. This girl will stay behind and wait for Lin Xiang.”

Li Leyi clenched his fists and looked at the group angrily. He would have been fine with it if they only humiliated him.

After all, Li Leyi had been kicked out of the Li family by his own father.

But he would not let them insult Cui Si.

Cui Si did not want Li Leyi to cause a scene here. It wasn’t his territory.

She quickly grabbed his arm and tried to calm him down.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to us like that?

“Go inside and tell Lin Xiang to get the hell out here. He just needs to tell me what he needs from me exactly. I want to get out of his face as much as he does.”

Li Leyi spoke coldly. He was ready to send the men to the hospital if they continued to provoke him.

After following Lin Xiang for so long, the men knew how well Li Leyi fought.

“Fine. Wait here.” One of them left to get Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang walked out with a woman in his arms and a playful smile on his face.

When he saw Cui Si, his eyes could not help but light up. He did not expect this girl to be so good-looking.

“Leyi, why aren’t you going in? Didn’t I give you an invitation?”

Lin Xiang pretended to remain oblivious, even blaming Leyi for being insensible and causing a ruckus with his men at the door.

Cui Si stepped forward as she looked at Lin Xiang in disdain.

“Lin Xiang, what are you so arrogant for? If you don’t want us to go in, just say it. Why do you have to play such childish tricks?”

Lin Xiang laughed arrogantly at Cui Si’s words.

He wanted to humiliate Li Leyi and make him lose face here. The grudge between the two of them had long been irreconcilable.

“Girl, what nonsense are you spouting? Lin Xiang is not that kind of person!

“But I did enjoy having the match with you last time. Let’s do it again.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant hurriedly ran out from inside.

“Eldest Young Master, something terrible has happened!”

Lin Xiang frowned slightly. Why did someone have to spoil the mood when he was having fun? This place was full of people from the Lin family, what could possibly happen?

The servant breathlessly said, “Eldest Young Master, the pianist you invited can’t make it.

“Song Xi doesn’t know how to play either. What should we do? Dean Mou will be here soon..”
