"Even if you don’t have time, you should make time for Grandfather’s birthday, otherwise, it would be unfilial."
Wen Nian said lightly, but as he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the two people embracing in the center of the dance floor!
Song Lili and Lu Ziqing also saw Wen Nian...
The three of them exchanged looks across the crowd...
Wen Nian walked past Xiao Ziyan, directly up to Wen Liangyu, "Grandson wishes Grandfather a happy birthday and good health, and may all your wishes come true."
Wen Liangyu hurriedly stood up, leaning on his cane as he approached Wen Nian, holding his hand,
"Your coming has already made Grandfather so happy that I’m at a loss for words! Come and sit down! After all, this birthday banquet was hosted for you, just have a look..."
"I’ve already seen it."
Wen Nian interrupted Wen Liangyu with a smile, then turned and walked directly towards the center of the dance floor where the clever women had already let go of their dance partners, assuming a posture of waiting to be invited to dance.
Song Xiangqiao hadn’t expected Wen Nian to come; she wanted to see him, but now that he was actually here, she felt a complex mix of emotions...
She was originally standing not far from Song Lili.
Suddenly, the young master of the Lu Family appeared and invited Song Lili to dance, which initially displeased her, but now she found it amusing.
Probably Song Lili also hadn’t expected the President to arrive so suddenly.
Song Lili watched Wen Nian, and Wen Nian watched her too, as he got closer and closer, finally stopping in front of her and Lu Ziqing,
"Commander Lu, such talent as yours is somewhat wasted in Xilin..."
"Mr. President, you shouldn’t—"
"Miss Song of the Song Family, isn’t it?"
Wen Nian’s amber eyes flashed coldly, "You and Commander Lu are well-matched."
Song Lili’s expression stiffened briefly, anger smoldered in Wen Nian’s eyes...
Just when she was at a loss, she saw him step around her and Lu Ziqing, and approached Song Xiangqiao. Wen Nian reached out,
"Xiangqiao. Let’s dance."
Song Xiangqiao was dumbfounded, sudden happiness leaving her bewildered.
"Wen Nian... Brother..."
Wen Nian smiled and took Song Xiangqiao’s hand, then stepped forward; the nearby band immediately struck up a fitting tune.
As Mr. President began to dance, others slowly joined in as well.
Song Lili took a deep breath watching Wen Nian and Song Xiangqiao dance... perhaps this was for the best.
In past lives and this life, her outcome with Wen Nian was always the same.
Lu Ziqing called out to her.
Song Lili looked up at him with a smile, "Do you still want to dance?"
"I’ll follow your lead."
Song Lili said earnestly.
Lu Ziqing wrapped one arm tightly around her waist, "Finally, I can hold you this close, I wouldn’t waste it."
His other hand cradled the back of Song Lili’s head, gently, very gently pressing her head against his chest...
Wen Liangyu slightly squinted his eyes...
Song Xiangqiao and Song Lili...
What was Wen Nian really thinking?
"Brother Wen Nian... are you mad at Sister?"
Song Xiangqiao wasn’t stupid, but even if Wen Nian was using her to upset Song Lili, she was happy, since so many people were watching...
"Xiangqiao, you really are clever."
"What a pity your cleverness isn’t applied in the right places."
Wen Nian spoke calmly, "Do you know what happens to people who scheme behind my back?"
"Brother Wen Nian, what are you saying? I don’t understand..."
Wen Nian slightly curved his lips, looking at her, "It’s not Brother Wen Nian, it’s brother-in-law."
Song Xiangqiao’s eyes widened in shock.
