Chapter 589: The Li Family's Invitation

~7 min read 1,382 words

"An Erge, are you scolding me..." An Yinan didn't hear any movement on the other end, but she had just sneezed twice and immediately realized it must be An Erge talking about her!

"... No." Yun Qi replied hurriedly.

"I'm hanging up now, I have to go out in a while, I'll contact Grandma next week." After An Yinan finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly without waiting for a reply from the other side.

"The Li Family?" An Yinan looked toward Yun Shu.

Yun Shu had just come over and whispered, "An invitation from the Li Family."

Here in Hong Kong City, many large families still uphold the custom of delivering visiting cards; today the Li Family came to deliver a card to An Yinan, though it wasn't a visiting card, but an invitation card.

"Do you know who the person who came is?" An Yinan took the card into her hand and opened it to look at the contents inside.

Phoenix Hotel, an industry of the Li Family.

"It is someone from beside Young Master Li, and also Young Master Li's external spokesperson," Yun Shu said.

These days, whether it was over in Kowloon or on her side, they had all conducted some basic investigations into the Li Family, and the people around her knew the photos of some of the people.

"Oh?"

An Yinan raised her eyebrows, feeling somewhat surprised.

After all...

To be able to let someone from beside Young Master Li show their face, it seems the Li Family's attitude is somewhat intriguing.

Are they friend or foe?

That is still unknown!

"Are we going?" Chen Xun asked.

He didn't understand things in the business world; he only knew things on the battlefield, but this time, aside from the security mission, the person in charge of everything else was Nan Nan.

All orders were to be obeyed by her.

"Go, why wouldn't we go?" An Yinan smiled, then opened her wardrobe.

She had prepared a few formal dresses beforehand, just for fear of such an occasion arising where she would have no preparation and would have to go back to find something.

An Yinan picked up a dress and turned back to look at Chen Xun, "How is this one?"

What she held in her hand was a moon-white Cheongsam; she liked Cheongsams very much. In her past life, whenever she attended various occasions, she would wear a Cheongsam.

It was just that the colors were different, the styles were different, and the designs were different.

"You look beautiful in anything." Chen Xun said something uncharacteristically sweet.

An Yinan raised her eyebrows at him, turned around, and walked into the bathroom.

After she changed into the clothes, she also applied a light makeup, hung a pearl necklace around her neck, and wore earrings inlaid with pink pearls in her ears—they were small and delicate, forming a vivid echo with her pointed chin.

Aside from these, there were no other ornaments on her body.

"Is it okay?"

An Yinan curled her lips in a smile, looking like a fox teasing its prey.

Chen Xun's eyes darkened, "An Yinan, if you want to go out today, you'd better not tease me..."

He had no resistance to her, let alone now that she looked like a spirit, with a soul-stirring charm on her face.

An Yinan smiled, and as she lifted her eyes, she had already changed to another expression, her big eyes sparkling, her vermilion lips slightly parted.

"Help me pick a pair of shoes." An Yinan pointed to the place where she kept her shoes.

Chen Xun walked to her side and hooked her willow-thin waist, "What color?"

"Hmm, flesh-pink, it matches my earrings better." An Yinan pointed to the position of her ears.

Chen Xun bent down to take out that pair of flesh-pink high heels, then lifted her feet and put them on for her bit by bit, looking at the sparkling person.

He shook his head helplessly; when would his wife stop being so mischievous?

An Yinan took another light pink shawl and looked at herself in the mirror, hmm... satisfied.

The weight left over from her pregnancy had already dropped off these days, and she hadn't taken any Slimming Pill; it was all exercised off by herself.

She was thin not only because of her body type, but there was another reason: after she was pregnant, she lacked exercise, and her physical state couldn't return to the past. Since the two babies returned to Beijing and she wasn't breastfeeding anymore, she started exercising.

"Hiss..."

Chen Xun opened the door, and An Yinan walked out. The people gathered in the living room eating, when they saw An Yinan's attire, all widened their eyes.

This is...

Madam?

But isn't she...

One by one they were incredulous, including those who had known her before, such as... Yun Shu and Yun Mo.

On ordinary days, An Yinan was basically in a simple black suit; the loose design allowed her to relax, and it didn't restrict her movements, making it convenient to act.

Today was to attend an appointment, so naturally, it had to be solemn. If she dressed casually, that would be disrespectful to the inviter.

This is etiquette; her Great Huaxia is a land of etiquette, how could she let people pick out problems with her etiquette?

"Are we leaving now?" The first to come back to their senses was still Yun Shu.

However, as soon as her voice fell, those people just now all silently put down the food in their hands; it was time to execute the mission.

"Mm."

"If you return safely, then... I'll treat you to a big meal." An Yinan waved her hand, and the group cheered.

"Eat braised meat hotpot." Yun Shu started ordering without hesitation.

An Yinan raised her eyebrows, "Yun Shu, I'm afraid you're making things difficult for me..."

In this place, I'll get you braised meat hotpot? What are you trying to do?

"Shabu-shabu mutton is fine too." Yun Mo hurriedly chimed in.

Once food was mentioned, this group became even more excited.

"It depends on today's performance. Those who perform well get a big meal today, those who don't perform well... will clean up the battlefield..." An Yinan pointed to the spot where they had just been eating.

The group quickly agreed; this was their little game during their spare time.

Regardless of whether there were rewards or punishments, this bunch would always give it their all.

"Let's go." Three cars... drove out from the residential complex.

Phoenix Hotel.

Chen Xun got out of the car and opened the door; An Yinan stepped out smoothly, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth as she looked at the layout of the surroundings and nodded to Chen Xun, and Chen Xun, who had his back to the entrance, also nodded slightly.

It looked like a mere formality between the two, but only they knew that as their gazes crossed, they were observing the terrain and the distribution of personnel.

Without a single word, they already understood each other.

Everyone from the two cars behind, except for the drivers, got out.

They did not bring Han Xiao today; although he was familiar with the City, in an occasion like this, no one knew if things would turn physical, and Han Xiao's martial arts, how should one put it, were hard to describe.

"Madam, our Young Master has been waiting in the Elegant Hall for quite some time; please come with me." The person speaking was one of Young Master Li's associates.

"Who is that person? How could they make him come out to welcome them?"

"I don't know; they look unfamiliar. Are they a new upstart in the City?"

"Their attire and bearing are extraordinary, but... could it be the daughter-in-law the Li Family has taken a fancy to?"

"That can't be, right? Wouldn't Miss Huang's plan fall through then?"

"When has the Li Family ever acknowledged it? Isn't it all just talk from her own mouth?"

"Perhaps it's someone the Young Master is keeping on the side; looking at her quality, she is indeed a top-tier beauty."

People sitting in the Main Hall watched the person being invited upstairs by the assistant, and discussions broke out below.
