Withered Broken Ice Blue

Chi Feiwan nodded, and she saw a hint of jealousy in Li Qiong's eyes.

Li Qiong suddenly held Chi Feiwan's hand, her tone somewhat unpredictable: "Miss Chi, I sincerely invite you to my birthday party the day after tomorrow. I hope Miss Chi can give me a favor." There seemed to be an lingering smile on the corner of her mouth.

Chi Feiwan wanted to refuse: "I may not be able to have time the day after tomorrow."

"Miss Chi, I've already told you that I hope you can give me this favor. After all, I haven't seen you for many years. The first time I saw you was at your grandfather's 70th birthday party." The smile on Li Qiong's lips became more and more sinister, and in Chi Feiwan's eyes, he felt a little scared.

Li Qiong held Chi Feiwan's hand and went upstairs with her, not giving Chi Feiwan a chance to speak: "Miss Chi, although my birthday party this time is not as grand as your grandfather's, it is also presentable."

"Besides, I have already given the invitation letter to your third brother. Since your third brother has gone, you won't not come, right?" This question was thrown to Chi Feiwan.

"But the day after tomorrow..."

"Little sister, Miss Li, I didn't expect that your relationship has become so good in just one day." Chi Yizi and Jiang Huaixu came up together and saw Li Qiong holding Chi Feiwan's hand.

Li Qiong took Chi Feiwan's arm and said, "Brother Yizhi, can you and Miss Chi come to my birthday party the day after tomorrow?"

At this time, Li Qiong put away the meaningful smile on her lips and replaced it with a sweet smile.

In their opinion, Li Qiong was just acting like a spoiled brat.

Where Li Qiong couldn't see, Chi Feiwan shook his head at Chi Yizi. Unexpectedly, Chi Yizi's answer made Chi Feiwan feel disappointed.

"Of course, my sister and I are very honored to receive your invitation to Miss Li's birthday party. My sister and I will arrive on time the day after tomorrow."

"Then thank you, Brother Yizhi."

Chi Feiwan's face turned pale, and he pursed his lips, unable to utter a single word.

On the way home, I was still thinking about how not to go to Li Qiong's birthday party the day after tomorrow.

For the first time ever, Chi Feiwan and Chi Yizi took the same taxi home after school this afternoon.

Chi Yizi sat in the passenger seat, glanced at Chi Feiwan who was thinking in the rearview mirror, and said in a cold voice, "There is no way you can't go to Li Qiong's birthday party."

"Why?" Chi Feiwan, who grew up in Beijing, actually found it difficult to understand the social practices among the wealthy families.

Chi Yiyi leaned his elbow on the car window and tilted his head slightly. "The Li family is also well-known in Beijing. The Li family went to grandpa's 70th birthday last time, and also went to my second brother's coming-of-age ceremony. Do you think you can refuse to go if Li Qiong invites you this time?"

Everyone in the wealthy circle knows that Li Qiong’s birthday party is held very grandly every year. Although it is not a coming-of-age ceremony, the Li family will still invite the daughters and young masters in the circle to attend.

Not many people in the circle could refuse the invitation from the Li family.

If Li Qiong invited the Chi family in the name of the Li family, any member of the Chi family could go, but Li Qiong invited Chi Feiwan in her personal capacity, so she had to go even if she didn't want to.

If Chi Feiwan doesn't go, it would be a slap in the face of the Li family.

Li Qiong knew that if she invited Chi Fei to the party in the name of the Li family, she would be rejected, so she used her own name.

"And Chi Feiwan, what's wrong with attending Li Qiong's birthday party? You can get to know more people. You are the only eldest daughter of the Chi family, and they will rush to please you. Isn't this what you want?"

When he was a child, Chi Feiwan always tried to please his family, but never tried to please him.

Chi Yizi always spoke to Chi Feiwan in this tone, and she had long been accustomed to it. She just didn't understand why her own brother would speak so harshly to her?

As night falls, a bright moon hangs in the sky, and the lights of tall buildings flicker in the night sky, forming a beautiful picture.

On the quiet first floor, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of water dripping in the bathroom, and the cell phone on the black coffee table was vibrating violently, one after another.

There was no phone ringing, so how would Chi Feiwan, who was taking a shower in the bathroom, know?

The cell phone was vibrating violently on the coffee table, and the lit screen instantly attracted Chi Yizi, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

He crossed his legs, glanced at the closed frosted door of the bathroom, and pressed the call button on his phone.

The phone screen was cracked and scratched. Chi Yizi frowned and heard the abuse from the other end of the phone, "Chi Feiwan, where have you been? It took you so long to answer the phone! Have you forgotten what I told you before?!"

Chi Yizi tightened his grip on the phone and said coldly, "She's taking a shower."

Hearing that the voice on the other end was not a girl's, the person on the other end of the phone was visibly startled.

"How long will it take her to come out?" the man's voice gradually softened.

Chi Yizi leaned back and said, "Talk to me and I'll tell her for you, Mom." When he said the last word, his tone was extremely cold.

Shen Linxi's voice was emotionless. "I know you are going to attend the birthday party of Li Qiong, the second daughter of the Li family. Your grandfather ordered me to send you a dress. The courier has already arrived. Please ask your sister to pick it up at the courier station."

"By the way, tell your sister that she has no right to choose. She has to wear the dress given to her no matter whether she likes it or not. As for the decoration, let her figure it out herself." Shen Linxi had never thought that Chi Yizi could also take the express delivery, but she insisted on letting Chi Feiwan go there, and it was the dress that she had chosen.

"Any more?"

"Gone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yizi hung up the phone, threw the phone casually on the sofa, put on his shoes and went downstairs to get the express delivery.

The frosted door of the bathroom was slowly opened. Chi Feiwan had a beige towel draped over her head, with water droplets falling from her wet hair. She was wearing a loose beige cotton pajamas, revealing her fair and slender swan-like neck. Her skin, as delicate as snow and jade, was faintly pink because she had just taken a shower.

The trouser legs were very high, and one could see a slight redness at the ankles. The sapphire-like eyes were a little misty, and the facial features were so delicate that one could not take their eyes away.

Chi Feiwan gently wiped her hair with a towel. When she looked up, her eyes met Chi Yizi who came back from outside with a package.

The blue eyes were captivating, Chi Yizi looked away hurriedly, and he placed the exquisite express box on the black coffee table.

Chi Feiwan's eyes fell on the express box, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"This is the dress my mother sent me. She said that even if you don't like the dress inside, you have to wear it. You have to wear this dress to Li Qiong's birthday party the day after tomorrow."

Chi Feiwan pursed her lips. From childhood to adulthood, the dresses for various banquets she attended were always chosen by her mother, and she couldn't refuse.

At Mr. Chi’s 70th birthday party, she attracted countless attention in an ice-blue dress and became the focus of the party. Although she was not the protagonist of the party, Mr. Chi made her the protagonist of the party.

Thousands of words were stuck in Chi Feiwan's throat, and finally turned into one word: "OK".
