The banquet hall fell into a dead silence.

For a moment, there were too many hidden meanings in Lu Huaiyu's words to process which caused everyone to be too stunned to react.

'Lili? Was he calling... Ning Li?'

'What did he mean when he said "everyone is waiting"?'

In an instant, an absurd conjecture surfaced in everyone's minds.

Finally, someone looked at Ning Li in shock.

'Could it be...?'

Was Lu Huaiyu's party at the Grand Hyatt this evening meant for Ning Li?

Su Yuan was also frozen in place. She looked at Lu Huaiyu, then at Ning Li, momentarily speechless.

Lu Huaiyu's gaze fell on Su Yuan's hand. The glare from his eyes was icy.

"Mrs. Ye." He spoke clearly and coldly. "I'm here to pick Ning Li up tonight. Please let go of her."

His eyes were so cold that Su Yuan's heart trembled, and she subconsciously let go of Ning Li's hand.

Ning Li then walked towards Lu Huaiyu.

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, and the air seemed to have frozen.

The only thing that moved was Ning Li, who kept walking forward.

Lu Huaiyu watched as she walked up to him.

It was rare to see her in a dress. Her wavy long hair fell softly over her shoulders, covering her slender neck. Her white knee-length dress showed off her slim waist and beautiful long legs.

The sight of her dress swaying gently as she walked taunted him.

His eyes turned slightly darker at this sight.

"Second Brother."

Ning Li stood in front of him and tilted her head slightly to look at him.

Her small face was so fair and smooth. Her eyebrows were delicate and framed her sparkling eyes.

Lu Huaiyu looked at her intensely before his thin lips curled up slightly.

"Congratulations, Lili."

This was the first congratulations Ning Li had received this evening, so she felt touched.

In the next moment, Lu Huaiyu pulled her wrist at the same spot where Su Yuan had grabbed her earlier.

His warm, strong palm easily wrapped around her small, slender wrist.

Lu Huaiyu's fingers were slightly calloused, so his touch felt slightly rough.

Ning Li's heart clenched.

Just as the two of them were about to leave, Ye Ci suddenly spoke. "Second Master Lu."

Lu Huaiyu paused in his footsteps and turned to look to the side.

Ye Ci's throat felt a little dry, but she still managed to gather enough courage and said, "Are you asking Sister Ning Li to be your female companion this evening? This celebration banquet tonight is specifically for me and Sister Ning Li. I'm afraid it would not be appropriate for Sister Ning Li to leave now..."

"Oh, is that so?" Lu Huaiyu laughed. "What a coincidence. The star of the party at the Grand Hyatt is also Lili. It would also be inappropriate if she doesn't attend."

Ye Ci's face instantly paled.

When she had heard Lu Huaiyu's words earlier, she had still held a glimmer of hope that perhaps she had been overthinking things.
