suddenly, Tang Li reached out her arm and wrapped it around his neck. Under his dark gaze, she tilted her head and whispered into his ear, “It’s taking too long to send someone to set off the fireworks. If you want to see it, I can make it happen right now.”
“Mm? How?”
Qi Yihan allowed her to hug him. One of his hands was still on the glass, and the other was about to wrap around her waist.
At this moment, a noise came from outside the door. “Our CEO just heard that Mr. Qi is here and wanted to come up to greet him. Why are you guys stopping us?”
The voice was very loud, and it was obvious that it was said deliberately for the person inside to hear.
The two of them looked at the door at the same time, displeasure flashing across their eyes.
Tang Li asked him, “Who’s outside?”
“It’s the CEO of Country M’s KL company and his sister, who are working with the Qi family recently.”
Tang Li did not know much about business. Thinking that the company he was working with was definitely a big one, she asked, “Then are you going to let him in?”
Qi Yihan was actually quite upset that these people came to disturb them at this time. However, since they were his partners, he could not really ignore them, so he adjusted himself and said, “KL is one of the biggest partners of the Qi Corp. Let’s take a minute to greet them.”
Tang Li nodded and walked to the door with him.
Outside the door, Qi Yihan’s bodyguards were all standing on the stairs. Opposite them were a man and a woman. The man was around 30 years old and the woman was around 25 years old.
The man exuded an elite aura and the woman looked graceful.
After Tang Li walked out, she looked at them while they sized her up.
The first to speak was the foreign man. He was very gentlemanly. “Mr. Qi, I asked you out for a meal a few days ago but you didn’t accept it because you were busy. I didn’t expect to run into you here tonight.”
At this point, he turned to look at Tang Li. The surprise in his eyes was perfectly restrained. “Who is this beautiful lady?”
‘When they came in, they had already heard others talking about the two of them, but he still asked on purpose.
He wanted to see how Qi Yihan would introduce his wife.
“My wife.”
Qi Yihan’s tone was as cold as ever. After he finished speaking, he introduced the two to Tang Li. “KL’s CEO, Milus, and his younger sister, Lucia.”
Tang Li realized that this woman called Lucia had been looking at her since she came out. However, after Qi Yihan introduced her, she immediately revealed a friendly smile and praised, “I’ve heard that Mrs. Qi is very beautiful. Seeing you today, I think you indeed live up to your reputation.”
“Thank you. You’re very beautiful too.” Tang Li’s gut feeling told her that this woman liked her husband. Otherwise, she would not have looked at her for so long with judgmental eyes.
After Lucia finished speaking to Tang Li, she looked at Qi Yihan and said with some pity, “A long time ago, I heard that the private room on the top floor of this hotel in Imperial Capital is very beautiful, so I took this opportunity to ask my brother to take me here, but I didn’t expect that you already
reserved it.”
Milus couldn’t bear to see his sister disappointed, so he asked Qi Yihan, “Mr. Qi, I wonder if we have the honor to join you?”
He thought that once he made this request, Qi Yihan would definitely agree for the sake of maintaining their cooperation.
Qi Yihan came here tonight to eat alone with Tang Li, so there was no way he would allow them to join. He rejected them directly. “I’m sorry, my wife and I are having a date tonight. If you guys like, I’ll get the manager to reserve the seats for you guys tomorrow night.”
“Well…” A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lucia’s face, but she still smiled and nodded.” Alright, we’ll go to the Qi mansion to talk about the collaboration with you tomorrow. See you then. ”
With that, she turned and walked down the stairs.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Milus’s eyes as he followed suit.
The two of them sat down at one of the tables by the window. Lucia tilted her head to look out the window and asked Milus, “Brother, they don’t seem to be on bad terms like everyone says.”
“Possibly, they are just putting on a show.” Milus couldn’t bear to see her disappointed. “Besides, I didn’t see any love between them.”
At that, Milus thought of Tang Li’s face and an idea struck him.
Since his sister liked Qi Yihan, he might as well go after Tang Li.
Didn’t the public say that they would get a divorce immediately upon the death of the head of the Qi family?
He believed that with his looks and money, he could easily make Tang Li fall for him.
This way, his sister would have more chances.
After Tang Li and Qi Yihan returned to the dining table, Tang Li was no longer in the mood to light fireworks for Qi Yihan. She felt that she needed to tell Qi Yihan that that foreign girl liked him.
However, just as she was about to say it, she suddenly changed her mind. She propped up her cheek with one hand and asked Qi Yihan, “Yihan, what kind of woman do you like?”
Qi Yihan initially thought that the reason why Tang Li did not speak after returning was because she was angry. He did not expect her to be troubled by this. He looked back into her eyes and said, “I like good-looking people.”
Tang Li nodded in her heart.
Coincidentally, she looked good in both reality and in the book.
Qi Yihan scanned her body and said, “I like people with good figures.”
‘Tang Li nodded in her heart again.
Her figure was also good.
Qi Yihan continued, “I also like people who are unique.”
Tang Li thought to herself, “Am I unique?”
Qi Yihan looked at her confused expression and his lips curled up, but he quickly retracted his smile. “I like those who like me.”
‘Tang Li looked up into Qi Yihan’s eyes and frowned.
Well… She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Did that count as liking him?
‘When Qi Yihan saw Tang Li frown, the lines on his face tightened unconsciously.
So this woman did not like him?
At the thought of this, his expression turned cold. He looked away into the distance, waiting for the dishes.
He didn’t want to talk to her about it anymore.
‘Tang Li was still looking at him with her cheek resting on her hand. Sensing that he was unhappy, she poked his arm with her finger. “Qi Yihan.”
As if throwing a tantrum, Qi Yihan didn’t bother to look at her.
‘Tang Li was sure that she had really made the man angry.
She poked his arm again and said, “I think that foreign woman likes you.”
Qi Yihan finally retracted his gaze to look at her and asked indifferently, “What has this got to do with you?”
“Of course, it has something to do with me.” Tang Li sat up straight and said to him with a serious face, “If she likes you, she will definitely think of ways to get you. What if you fall in love with her?”
Qi Yihan remained silent for a few seconds and looked out the window again. “When you fall in love with someone, there is nothing you can do..”
