"I see a lot of them wanting to talk to you, but I can stay here by myself."

A quick glance revealed that many people were looking in this direction.

Their gazes were mainly fixed on Li Nanyuan.

Today he wore a white suit with a light-colored gold-trimmed tie, the gold-plated tie clip held securely in front of his chest, exuding elegance and refinement.

Shedding its usual dark hues, it resembles a warm and understated pearl.

Mr. Li is different today than usual.

Some observant people noticed that he had changed his usual watch. The watch on his wrist was still luxurious, but the dial was a soothing sky blue, fresh and vibrant. This taste was more like that of a young man.

So everyone's attention shifted to the little boy next to him.

People were speculating about their relationship.

Dressed like this, Li Nanyuan looked to be no more than twenty years old, and he and the boy next to him were a perfect match.

Li Nanyuan glanced at them and shook his head slightly, "No need, today is not a business reception, we don't need to pay attention to these things."

The small talk was just a formality, nothing more than exchanging pleasantries.

In the past, Li Nanyuan never rejected these things when he had nothing to do, and even felt that time passed quickly when he did them.

Now that I have my beloved by my side, why would I want to do these things?

The Li family has now risen to a higher level, and others are now the ones trying to curry favor with them.

"Okay." Wu Tongxue was just making a suggestion.

Li Nanyuan met the gaze of two people not far away. The other person looked away first, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings, but their eyes remained fixed on their area.

She sighed softly to herself. Her future father-in-law's arrangements were as meticulous as ever, even including having people come in to protect her at the birthday banquet.

This means that your every move is under the other party's watchful eye.

He felt no pressure about this kind of surveillance, as he believed he wouldn't do anything to harm Xiaoxue.

However, it's impossible to be overly intimate; it can only be done in private.

"Nanyuan, you came all this way without even saying hello. If Su Ji hadn't told me he saw you, I would have thought you hadn't arrived yet." Song Mingyu patted Li Nanyuan on the shoulder with a smile on his lips.

Li Nanyuan glanced at the group of people his friend had just gotten rid of and joked, "Seeing how busy you are, I'd rather not bother you."

"Can they compare to you?"

Song Mingyu had already noticed the person next to Li Nanyuan, and nudged him with his elbow, "And this is..."

Their relationship was clearly special; he had to get to know them.

Li Nanyuan took Wu Tongxue's hand again, his eyes softening. "My boyfriend, Wu Tongxue."

"He is Song Mingyu, the doctor I told you about."

Song Mingyu felt that Li Nanyuan was incredibly lucky to have met someone willing to love him.

He used to think that this kid was destined to grow old alone.

Song Mingyu took a liking to Wu Tongxue at their first meeting.

Regardless of romance, just looking at such a person for a while makes you feel that the world is becoming a better place; their bright vitality is enviable.

"Sister-in-law, nice to meet you. This is for you." He took out a fountain pen from his chest, handed it to her with both hands, and smiled warmly. "This pen writes quite well. It's just a small gift."

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Nanyuan, noting that he hadn't even told her beforehand and hadn't properly prepared a gift.

"Take it; he likes to give pens as gifts when he meets people."

Song Mingyu's lips twitched. What did he mean by "he likes to give gifts"? He clearly cared most about the pen he had.

Weren't they the ones who swindled us out of our money?

He always carries a pen with him, but it gets taken away for various reasons every time he goes out to a party.

I'm not used to not bringing it with me. Anyway, he has a lot of pens and he's their older brother, so what can I do but prepare more?

Wu Tongxue happily accepted it, "Thank you, big brother."

The fountain pen is beautiful and has a great feel to it; it would be nice to keep as a collectible.

Her smile was as sweet as a peach, and she was well-behaved and cute. Song Mingyu nodded, "Let's exchange contact information. If Nan Yuan is not around, you can contact me if you need anything. Don't be afraid of the trouble."

The way he was called "Big Brother" made him feel great; those rascals always called him by his full name.

Wu Tongxue looked at Li Nanyuan, and Li Nanyuan nodded.

Li Nanyuan's older brother has the gentle temperament of his father, and Wu Tongxue also has a good impression of him.

We happily exchanged contact information.

"If you need anything, just let me know. I'm heading over now." After glancing at the time, Song Mingyu decided to go back to his parents' side to help entertain the guests.

"Okay, goodbye, big brother." Wu Tongxue waved to him cheerfully.

"Li Nanyuan, you said that my older brother only recently returned to the country?"

“He was studying abroad for the past few years and only recently came back.” Li Nanyuan noticed his expression, as if he were recalling something. “What’s wrong?”

Wu Tongxue shook her head without saying anything, and looked in the direction Song Mingyu had walked.

"Are those my older brother's parents? Why do they look so unhappy?"

Song Mingyu walked over to his parents and greeted his younger brother, who had a sour face, first, "Mingxuan, have you finished memorizing the script I asked you to recite?"

Song Mingxuan was very unhappy that his birthday party had become someone else's social event, but he couldn't argue with the powerful, so he could only put on a sour face.

"Alright, alright, memorized it."

"What kind of attitude is this?" Song's mother scolded him. "How dare you talk to your brother like that?"

Song Mingxuan straightened his hunched back instantly. "Oh, brother, I was wrong."

Song's mother glared at him, and then, still angry, glared at Song's father as well.

You have a good son.

Song's father: ...

He looked at his youngest son and said, "Watch your expression."

Song Mingxuan immediately grinned, showing his big teeth, "Is it done yet?"

Mr. Song also wanted to give him a slap, but he couldn't do so in public, so he kept quiet.

Song Mingyu skillfully acted as a peacemaker, managing to keep the family of four happy before the birthday banquet officially began.

Li Nanyuan looked over there and said, "Uncle Song's two sons have no interest in inheriting the company. Recently, we've been urging them to get married and preparing to raise the next generation."

"Song Mingxuan is only eighteen years old this year, right?"

Li Nanyuan nodded, "After dating for a few years, we can get married."

Actually, if it weren't for her age, Song Ya would have planned to have the baby herself. Who knows if the child born to her unreliable son would be even more unreliable?

She and Lao Song are both reliable people. It's happened twice already, so they can't just have to deal with another case of char siu.

Considering my health, I regretfully had to give up.

The hands moved slowly, finally landing at exactly eight o'clock.

The spotlight was turned on, and the host stepped forward.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the 18th birthday celebration of our young master from the Mingsen Group. Everyone here..."

Although he was very reluctant just now, when it came to the parts that required his cooperation, Song Mingxuan obediently cooperated.

Wu Tongxue couldn't help but laugh and whispered to Li Nanyuan.

"The eldest brother's younger brother is quite arrogant, and has a very interesting personality."

"I'll introduce you to him later." Li Nanyuan whispered in his ear, his voice deep and seductive.

The warm, humid air tickled her earlobe, and Wu Tongxue rubbed her ear shyly before pushing him back to her seat.

Her eyes held a hint of anger as she warned in a low voice, "Speak properly."

Li Nanyuan looked down at him, silent, the affection in his eyes almost drowning him.

The woven net leaves no one able to escape.

Wu Tongxue felt hot all over, her face flushed pink, and her eyes were filled with tears.

He chose to sit up straight and keep his distance from him.

This is utterly disrespectful in public!

"Trying to seduce me again," he muttered to himself, focusing on what lay ahead.

A smile flashed in Li Nanyuan's eyes.

He reached behind him with his left hand, gently pulling him into his arms, before turning his gaze to look ahead.
