Everyone present had smiles on their faces. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious and joyful.

“On behalf of the Xuan Sect, I wish Uncle Bai prosperity and longevity.” She Qi stood up with a smile. He cupped his hands enthusiastically at Bai Jie, before finishing his wine in one gulp.

The smile on Bai Jie’s face did not diminish. He raised his wine glass to She Qi before downing it. “Thank you.”

“Daddy, I wish you a long life and good health too!” Bai Jiao’er was wearing a light red dress, making her look petite and pleasant. She had successfully attracted the attention of all the men present.

However, Little Jue didn’t give the men a chance to make their moves. He took a step forward and stood in front of Bai Jiao’er, glaring at them.

The aura emanating from Little Jue’s body made the men shiver in fear. All of them drew back their necks and instantly became docile. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly thereafter. They were all extremely obedient.

“You little imp. If you can be less mischievous, that would be the best birthday present for me.” Bai Jie grumbled, but there was no reproach in his words. They were filled with doting affection.

She Qi looked at Bai Jiao’er. His eyes flashed with astonishment.

However, that glint was fleeting and quickly replaced by disdain.

In She Qi’s opinion, he was already showing the Bai family a lot of respect by being willing to marry one of the daughters. Since the Bai family didn’t know what was good for them and dared to reject him, he didn’t have to be so polite anymore. There was no way he would fall in love with the Bai family daughters now.

“Everyone says that the First Miss of the Bai family is astonishingly beautiful. Why haven’t we seen her today?” She Qi suddenly asked as he looked around.

“My sister is always busy doing this and that. She’s preparing my father’s birthday gift now.” Although Bai Jiao’er couldn’t be rude to She Qi in front of all the guests, one could tell from her dark expression that she didn’t like him.

She Qi didn’t care. In his eyes, Bai Jiao’er was just a silly little girl. He didn’t care about her, and there was no need to be angry at her.

Bai Jiao’er also couldn’t be bothered about him. When she estimated that it was about time, she turned to look at Little Jue behind her. “Hurry up and bring Brother Baili over. If he doesn’t want to come, you have to drag him over.”

Little Jue bent down and listened to her seriously. Shortly after, he seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly looked up. “There’s no need.”

Bai Jiao’er was feeling puzzled until she looked where he was gazing at. She wasn’t surprised to see Baili Yu standing not far away from She Qi’s seat.

Even though Baili Yu was just standing there, he didn’t look out of place. Dressed in blue, he looked like an immortal, appearing extremely elegant and charming.

The moment Bai Jiao’er saw Baili Yu, her eyes lit up.

Baili Yu’s appearance here was enough to prove that he had mustered his courage.

Baili Yu had indeed come here after an intense mental struggle. He had come tonight just to look at Bai Wanxi.

Even a distant glance would be enough to become a beautiful memory for the rest of his life.

However, Baili Yu didn’t see Bai Wanxi at all.

Disappointment filled the depths of his eyes. Baili Yu was about to leave in a daze when he suddenly heard the gentle music transforming into intense drum beats.
