Chapter 193 Lin Li's Ambition
Li Qinghuai looked at Li Huanyan and shook his head helplessly.
"You're just too kind; you never know how to say no to others."
Li Huanyan playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Big brother, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."
Li Qinghuai gently patted Li Huanyan's shoulder and said earnestly.
"Huanyan, don't linger here. Hurry up and go backstage to get ready. Your parents are waiting for you there."
Li Huanyan nodded obediently, "Okay, big brother, I'll go right away."
Li Huanyan turned to look at Song Qianyi, her eyes filled with a hint of reluctance.
"Sister Song, I'm going backstage now. I'll come find you when we're cutting the cake."
Song Qianyi smiled and nodded, "Okay, you go ahead and do your work, don't rush."
Li Huanyan stepped forward and gently hugged Song Qianyi before letting go, lifting her skirt, and walking quickly towards the backstage area.
Song Qianyi stood there, watching her departing figure. Although it was the first time she had met this girl, her heart was filled with affection for her.
Li Qinghuai turned to look at Song Qianyi, his eyes filled with a hint of apology.
"Miss Song, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Huanyan has been spoiled by us since she was little, and sometimes she feels a bit helpless when faced with these kinds of things."
Song Qianyi smiled and said, "It's clear that you siblings have a very good relationship, so Young Master Li doesn't need to worry about it."
Li Qinghuai nodded slightly.
"Huanyan, go and make the preparations. I'll stay here and accompany Miss Song on a walk around. There are many interesting places set up for the banquet; Miss Song might find them interesting."
Song Qianyi readily agreed, and the two strolled slowly side by side.
Along the way, Li Qinghuai frequently introduced Song Qianyi to some of the unique decorations and carefully arranged details of the banquet.
Song Qianyi listened attentively, occasionally offering a few unique insights, which made Li Qinghuai look at her with increasing admiration.
They walked to an exhibition area filled with precious works of art, and Li Qinghuai stopped and picked up an exquisite porcelain vase.
"Miss Song, look at this porcelain vase. It was made by a master craftsman. Both its craftsmanship and color matching are superb."
Song Qianyi examined it carefully and exclaimed, "Indeed exquisite. The Li family's taste in these areas is truly remarkable."
As they were talking, Lin Li walked over again. When she saw Li Qinghuai and Song Qianyi together, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
"Young Master Li, Miss Song, are you admiring the treasures here?"
Li Qinghuai simply nodded slightly, and Song Qianyi responded politely in return.
Lin Li continued, "Ms. Song, we didn't have a chance to chat properly just now. What do you do for a living?"
She asked the question seemingly casually, but she actually wanted to embarrass her in front of Li Qinghuai.
Song Qianyi remained calm.
"I'm just doing things that I'm interested in; I don't have any special job."
Lin Li wanted to ask more questions, but Li Qinghuai spoke up instead.
“Miss Lin, there’s no need to ask about these private matters. Miss Song is a distinguished guest of the Li family.”
Lin Li was furious when Li Qinghuai said that. What kind of magic did this woman have that even Li Qinghuai would defend her like that?
Lin Li forced a smile.
"Young Master Li, I was just curious and had no intention of offending you. Miss Song, please don't mind."
Song Qianyi gently shook her head, "It's alright."
Li Qinghuai looked at Song Qianyi, "Miss Song, this way please."
So the two of them walked together toward the performance area.
Lin Li stomped her feet in anger as she watched the two leave.
This woman not only has an ambiguous relationship with Li Qingyang, but now she also wants to seduce Li Qinghuai.
The position of the eldest wife of the Li family belongs to her, and she will absolutely not let this woman succeed.
Since she couldn't embarrass Song Qianyi directly in front of Li Qinghuai, she would find another way.
On stage, a wonderful magic show is underway. The magician's skillful techniques draw gasps of amazement from the audience.
Li Qinghuai stood to the side, but his gaze kept drifting over Song Qianyi, seemingly unintentionally.
He was filled with curiosity about Song Qianyi.
Although he knew that Song Qianyi's identity was not simple, he still couldn't help but pay attention to her.
Song Qianyi seemed to sense something, turned her head slightly, and met Li Qinghuai's gaze. She simply gave a polite smile before turning her attention back to the stage.
A strange ripple stirred in Li Qinghuai's heart.
After the performance, the lights came on, and the birthday party officially began.
Father and Mother Li walked slowly down the stairs hand in hand, dressed in gorgeous clothes, exuding elegance and nobility.
Li Huanyan followed behind them, her face beaming with a happy smile.
The father's stern gaze swept across the room, and the guests instantly fell silent.
Mother Li smiled and looked lovingly at the crowd below.
