Chapter 224: 227 good medicine

"Ah, Lili, am I seeing things, or is that a sparkle in your eyes...?"

"The lights are too bright."

Lili quickly blinked her eyes, dispersing the watery shine that excitement had brought on.

Ziqing laughed heartily, then shook his outstretched hand and muttered,

"My arm’s getting sore!"

Lili quickly chuckled and then took Ziqing’s hand.

Ziqing pulled her up and dragged her into the ballroom...

"Brother Lu, how come you’re here?"

"Old Mr. Wen sent an invitation to the Lu Family, and my name was included as well."

"You traveled from Xilin to Anlin just to wish Elder Wen a happy birthday?"

Lili was surprised, thinking Ziqing was someone who wouldn’t let himself be tied down by political gains.

"I came for you."

"..."

"Such a grand banquet, and yet it doesn’t seem like your kind of scene at all. Just as I thought... Despite being dressed so beautifully, you turned out to be the loneliest princess."

"..."

"Lili, before coming here, I made a bet with myself to see how much I’ve come to understand you over these past six months... betting whether you’d dance with someone else or not."

Ziqing’s husky voice was right at her ear.

Unknowingly, they had moved to the center of the dance floor.

"Brother Lu..."

Lili’s heartbeat suddenly quickened, the atmosphere and his tone flirtatiously thrilling...

Something was coming...

"See? You were just waiting for me, weren’t you?"

"..."

Lili couldn’t utter a word.

"Lili, the day we ate barbecue, I told you I wanted the most comfortable relationship. But now I take that back—I want this, the kind that brings you closer to my heart, where every word makes your face flush and your heart race."

"..."

Ziqing held her waist, she wrapped her arms around his neck...

In Xilin, she had only been seen in military uniforms and in jeans and T-shirts, never dolled up like this, and he had no idea that this version of her could provoke so many wicked thoughts within him!

Lili slightly lowered her head, her head resting lightly, ever so lightly against Ziqing’s chest.

She had a heart of stone, unbreakable as long as Wen Nian was around.

Now, that stony heart was already scarred and mangled.

But Ziqing kept offering her dose after dose of medicine.

She remembered being kidnapped by the terrorist Duan Shen, when Wen Nian chose the greater good over her, while Ziqing stormed the enemy camp alone.

Thinking of the military officer selection... thinking of today...

"Lili, I’ve been quite deliberate in my feelings for you. Give me a chance."

Deep down, Lili was joyful... but...

"Brother Lu, give me some more time..."

"How long?"

Heaven knows Ziqing’s heart was already bursting with fireworks, suppressing his excitement while his tone feigned nonchalance.

"Erm..."

Lili found it hard to specify the time; she thought she really needed to consider...

Whether she was in the right state to enter another relationship...

How she truly felt about Wen Nian...

"Mr. President..."

"President Wen is here! Didn’t they say... Mr. President wouldn’t make it because he was abroad?"

"Xiaonian..."

Not only were the guests surprised by Wen Nian’s arrival, but so were the Wen family members.

Seeing her son, Ziyan was overcome with excitement and hurried over, "Didn’t you say you couldn’t make it?"
