Chapter 514 (1/2)

A Face (1)

“Li Yue, what are you doing here? The guests have arrived, come greet them!” called Li Yan after a while. This wasn’t because he was worried about Li Yue- he had no time for this. You can only imagine how much he was enjoying himself chatting with the rich aristocrat ladies at the party, he was forced by his father to come get Li Yue.

Although his punishment had been severe, and he was heavily wounded, after twenty days of treatment plus magic and medicine, he’d already fully recovered a few days ago, as sprightly as ever.

While he did not have a great reputation, that did not cancel out the fact that he was a powerful man. This was because he was the son of the Li family, hence was still a popular figure among the city’s aristocrats, especially among the rich ladies of the same age.

“Hold on, I’m waiting for my guest, my guest isn’t here yet,” said Li Yue.

“Your guest? You sent out an invitation?” asked Li Yan in surprise. He’d never seen his little sister send anyone invitations.

It was very common for aristocratic girls to have a few close girlfriends but Li Yue did not have any. She had a few close friends but after she enlisted in the army, they had grown apart.

“Yeah.” She nodded.

“Is it a guy or a girl?” asked Li Yan with an odd expression. He didn’t initially want to ask this question for it implied something else.

He felt like it was quite impossible for her to be dating someone right now. However, if she was, the Li family would be very happy.

Of course, the only happy ones would be her family. The rest, especially her admirers, would definitely be very frustrated.

That animal nearby, -uh, more like the guy who looked like an animal with his fur coat- was silently praying.

Please don’t be a man, please don’t be a man…

“It’s a guy,” said Li Yue softly.

Boom!

Animal Man’s brain exploded, his features twisting to make him look even more like an animal.

“Oh, I understand.” Li Yan nodded then went inside to tell his father. He was sure Li Tianjun would stop asking her to come in once he knew.

Although there were many people present, this party was not that important. Li Yue’s absence did not matter, what mattered most was her happiness.

Who could that guy be?

Not only Li Tianjun- his wife and everyone else who heard also wondered.

Which man was attractive enough to impress this girl, the most beautiful being they’d ever laid their eyes upon?

While everyone was still socialising, they couldn’t help but resent this guy for being dumb enough to make Li Yue wait, to be so late for her party.

“Is he not coming? Or did he not receive my card?” As time passed, Li Yue started to overthink.

And just as she started to overthink, Ye Lang finally arrived. He approached the yard led by one of her servants.

Li Yue, who was still staring at the sky, sensed his arrival and looked towards the entrance of her yard.
