Xuan Jiuling also laughed. “No wonder Young Master Li only has eyes for Young Madam, despite being a dragon among the men. The two of you are so compatible that an old man like me also can’t help but be envious!”
Huang Yueli smiled humbly, “Both Seniors have overpraised us!”
Li Moying lowered his head and looked at the young lady in his arms tenderly.
His Li’er was usually very active and black-bellied. She would often get into trouble, but when it came to crucial moments when she had to pretend to be a gentle lady, she was really good at it!
She might be replying humbly saying that they had overpraised her. But she was probably thinking, “That’s of course!” in her mind.
Meng Shurong and Xuan Jiuling exchanged a few words of pleasantries and asked them to join them for dinner.
They were not aware of the merits that Huang Yueli and Xia Yunxi had achieved on the frontline. Moreover, they were misled by Jing Shaoyuan earlier. So they were under the perception that all Huang Yueli had was beautiful looks with normal innate talent and ability. So they didn’t spend too much time talking to her.
For a top exponent of Xuan Jiuling’s status, he placed more importance on the youngsters’ innate talent and ability.
For someone like Huang Yueli, she might be beautiful, but he would just take an extra look at her. Even if he acted politely to her, it was merely giving face to her husband.
Huang Yueli naturally didn’t know what happened at the banquet earlier.
But she wasn’t interested to find out anyway.
She came here purely just to accompany her husband. At the same time, she definitely could not allow her husband to be embarrassed, hence she spent some time dressing herself up.
Huang Yueli sat next to Li Moying and started to whisper in his ear.
“Moying, do I look pretty in this today?”
Li Moying caressed her face and said, “Of course. You look beautiful in everything you wear.”
Huang Yueli pouted in dissatisfaction when she heard that. “What? Aren’t you a little too perfunctory? I specially dolled myself up today! Haven’t you always been complaining that I look very ugly in man’s clothes? I specially dressed myself up, but you say that whatever I wear is all the same!”
Li Moying felt like laughing and crying at the same time.
He meant she looked beautiful in whatever she wore. He had never said whatever she wore was all the same!
But he could tell that Huang Yueli indeed spent some time dolling herself up today.
Truth be told, Huang Yueli should have been extremely tired after busying herself for the whole day in Sky Gem Glass Chamber. But after she went home, she hurriedly dressed herself up, just to rush over to accompany him to the banquet.
This itself made Li Moying extremely touched.
But due to the occasion, he couldn’t do anything but coax her softly, “Li’er, haven’t you noticed that from the moment you walked over, I have already gone into a daze? You’re so beautiful that I want to gouge out those people’s eyes who were glued to you!”
“You… you’re so overbearing! Since you can even crack this kind of joke, I will forgive you then!” Huang Yueli burst out into laughter and showed her rare magnanimous gesture.
A cold glint flashed past his eyes.
Huang Yueli probably didn’t know that he would not crack jokes. Earlier, when he saw so many people staring at her, there was a moment when his obsessiveness almost exploded. This dark thought had indeed surfaced in his mind.
Li Moying’s lips curled slightly. “The grape wine here is very nice. It’s rumored to be a wine that Divine General Meng had kept for several decades. Let me pour a glass for you. Also, this roasted club steak…”
“Hmmm, that’s great!”
When it came to food, Huang Yueli’s eyes shone with brilliance and her attention had totally skewed towards it.
But she didn’t have to feed herself. She just stared at her empty plate and waited for her husband to feed her.
