“Qi Yu, you’re really amazing. You’ll have to tell us what you learned from investing later on during the banquet.”

“That’s right. My stupid son only knows how to fool around all day. Nowadays, it’s rare to find motivated children like you. Little Ruo, you’re really lucky.”

Rong Ruo smiled like a flower while dressed in a summer dress from Chanel’s recent collection. Liu Guifang had bought it for her.

The group laughed and talked, but while Rong Ruo responded to the praise she was already used to hearing, she kept stealing glances at the door.

Why was Su Ye not present yet?

No matter how pleasant the praises were, if Su Ye were not around, they were boring.

“By the way, Little Ruo, isn’t Xiuli here? What about your mother, Qi Yu?”

When Qi Yu heard this, his expression immediately turned stiff.

Master Bo preferred the quiet. Not everyone was allowed to come to the birthday party. The Rong family and Qi family only received one invitation card. After they discussed it with each other, they simultaneously agreed to give this precious chance to their children so they could form more connections among the rich.

But they were naturally not going to let others know about this embarrassing thing.

Compared to Qi Yu feeling embarrassed after someone hit his sore spot, Rong Ruo answered calmly. “Something came up, so they couldn’t join Master Bo’s birthday party to their regret.”

The ladies nodded to show their understanding.

Qi Yu cast a grateful glance at Rong Ruo for helping him out of trouble, but Rong Ruo pretended to not see it. ‘How embarrassing.’

The servants served tea while Rong Ruo was daydreaming, so she nearly got scalded.

“Careful!” Qi Yu moved quickly to protect her.

The ladies praised him again.

“Wow, Little Ruo, you need to hurry up and get married to Qi Yu. He’s so considerate toward you.”

When Qi Yu heard those praises, he looked to have received great motivation. He picked up a few pieces of tissue paper to wipe away the tea stains on Rong Ruo’s dress.

But the moment he wanted to touch her, Rong Ruo pushed him away politely. “No need, Big Brother Qi Yu. I’ll do it myself.”

Qi Yu cast a glance at her and pursed his lips. They had been dating for more than a year, but Little Ruo was always like this. She was occasionally sweet to him, but usually cold as ice. Yet, it was this attitude of hers that kept him at arm’s length that made him fall further for her, and he was completely enticed by her.

He balled up the tissue paper in his hands without batting an eyelid. Little Ruo had to know that Su Ye would be coming, so she was in a bad mood. Su Ye had been jealous of Little Ruo since she was young and always fought against her.

When the ladies saw the loving couple, they covered their mouths and giggled. “Look, Little Ruo is feeling shy.”

“Little Ruo, it’s a good thing for you if your boyfriend is good to you. There’s nothing for you to be shy about. Do you want to be like Su Ye? If Yunli were even 0.1% as nice to her as Qi Yu is nice to you, she would be laughing in her dreams.”

“Quiet, Yunli is in the courtyard.”

“Oh, the courtyard is so far away from the backyard. He won’t hear. I don’t know what Master Bo is thinking. Why did he arrange this marriage for Yunli? No matter how I look at it, they’re just not a good match. It’s a waste of Yunli’s good looks and talent.”

“Forget it, there are plenty of such marriages among the rich. Even if Su Ye got married into the Bo family, she’d just be a wife in name.”

“If she won’t be able to give birth soon, she would end up being chased out sooner or later…”

The ladies mocked Su Ye while happily chatting away when the lady of the Li family interrupted them softly. She used her chin to gesture at the entrance. “Hush! Su Ye is here!”

When Rong Ruo heard this, she immediately became high-spirited.. As she turned around, she naturally took hold of Qi Yu’s arm. “Ye Ye, you’re here!”
