Chapter 594: Are You a Cat?

She leisurely walked in and naturally sat beside Li Lei.

Li Lei personally gave her a glass of white wine and complained. "Why were you gone for so long?"

She took the glass of wine and smiled. "Was I gone for long? Just now, I was playing the piano but in the end, I got into a fight with two ignorant people." After hearing Li Lei's words, she knew that the father and daughter of the Nangong family did not tell him about their encounter just now. This was reasonable because they failed to take advantage of her, lost 50 million because of her, and even humiliated themselves. Surely, they would not voluntarily mention it to Li Lei.

At this time, after hearing her talk about it, Nangong Qingya almost couldn't contain her anger. With a cold and condescending tone, she remarked. "Ye Xingling, you shouldn't be here."

Xia Ling blinked and acted as though she didn't understand her.

Nangong Bohai started to notice something. Since this female star was not a pianist, she was probably a guest of this club. Just now, Li Lei also asked her why she was gone for so long. Could it be that Second Young Master Li and she were together? Both of them looked very close. This... is a problem...

Nangong Bohai had an ominous premonition. If Second Young Master Li intended to invite his future father-in-law to dinner, he would definitely not bring his rumored girlfriend. Since he brought Xia Ling...

This meant that something was wrong.

"Second Young Master Li, why exactly did you invite us here today?" Nangong Bohai's expression darkened.

Li Lei didn't have the time to care about him as he was busy snatching the glass away from Xia Ling's hand. "How can you drink like that? You're not even afraid of getting drunk." This little girl drank the entire glass of white wine like water.

"I'm thirsty." Xia Ling felt wronged. She had just quarreled with the father and daughter of the Nangong family. She only felt that her throat was dry and was very thirsty. However, she did not have water, so she could only drink wine.

Li Lei didn't know whether to laugh or cry and asked for a glass of water for her.

Xia Ling really respected him in front of others and stopped drinking wine. Instead, she obediently drank water. She curled her petite body on the sofa and leaned on his shoulders in an intimate and relaxed way like a kitten leaning on its master without any precaution.

Seeing her like that, Nangong Qingya's face fell even more.

Nangong Bohai also didn't look too good. How Second Young Master Li and this girl behave so intimately in front of him and his daughter? He slowly said, "Second Young Master Li, this private room is small and my daughter is afraid of noise. I think it's better to ask irrelevant people to leave."

He wanted to ask Li Lei to chase Xia Ling away.

However, Li Lei said, "There are no irrelevant people here." As he spoke, he searched for a paper towel to wipe Xia Ling's nose. He was really in awe of this little girl. She almost buried her head in the cup trying to drink water, and her entire face was wet. Was she really a cat?

Nangong Bohai's face grew even more unsightly. He thought that he really guessed correctly. This dinner was actually a negotiation. Which young masters of rich families did not have confidantes outside their official marriages? Perhaps Second Young Master Li wanted the Nangong family to agree not to give Ye Xingling trouble after Nangong Qingya married into the Li family.

His imagination went wild.

Nangong Bohai felt that it was only a matter of his own family's pride. If Second Young Master Li was secretly raising someone else outside, he could turn a blind eye to it. However, he still brought that person into a room with his future in-laws, it was too much for them to pretend to ignore it.

His daughter had not officially married into the Li family, and he could not let the man destroy her influence.

Thus, Nangong Bohai's face fell and said, "Why is there an irrelevant female star in this room when both of our families are having a meal together? Second Young Master Li, my daughter has lived in luxury ever since she was born and has never suffered any grievance at home. In the future when she marries you, I hope that she also won't suffer any grievances."

Li Lei nodded and acknowledged him in passing.

Beside him, Xia Ling somehow had water up to her nose again and lightly sneezed.

Li Lei's face darkened and snatched the cup away. "Do you know how to drink water? See, your shirt collar is already wet. What shall I do if you catch a cold later?"

Xia Ling felt wronged. He was talking with the Nangong family and she felt bored. What else could she do besides drink water?

Beside them, the father and daughter of the Nangong family had dark expressions. This adulterous couple was acting as if no one was there!

"Second Young Master Li." Nangong Qingya endured humiliation in front of the man she liked and said in a reserved yet brave manner. "How about we talk after you and Miss Ye are done? I will be leaving first today." She retreated in order to advance as she knew that Li Lei would have to care about the larger interest and not disrespect his future wife and her father because of a wild woman.

Sure enough, Li Lei said, "Miss Nangong, please stop. Let's finish our conversation today."

Nangong Qingya was elated but acted reserved. "What about Miss Ye?" She looked at Xia Ling and anticipated for Li Lei to chase her away.

However, Li Lei acted like he didn't understand her intentions at all. He only said to Xia Ling in a low voice, "Be good and sit here. Don't move. After this is over, I will take you to eat dessert."

He sounded very gentle.

"Ok." Xia Ling acknowledged.

Both of them were very loving and acted as if no one was there. Nangong Bohai was enraged. "Second Young Master Li, I've said that our Qingya has been living in luxury, and I hope that her future husband's family will not let her suffer any grievances!"

Xia Ling could not tolerate someone being so vicious towards her sweetheart and rebuked. "You should tell these things to Miss Nangong's future husband's family. What's the use of telling that to Li Lei?"

"Oh?" This time, Nangong Qingya laughed.

Nangong Bohai also sneered. "Miss Ye, don't act stupid. Qingya's future husband's family is the Li family. The entire Li family, from Old Master to Second Young Master Li, really admires our Qingya."

Xia Ling was stunned.

Nangong Qingya very elegantly said, "That's why while two of our families have a discussion, can Miss Ye please leave for a while?" She did not want to make Li Lei unhappy, but she was going to be the official wife while Ye Xingling was the mistress, so she should not lose the upper hand from the start and had to firmly gain the advantage. She also wanted to let Li Lei know that she was not a weak girl and was able to take the large responsibility of being the future Missus of the Li Family.

"When did you agree to marry her?" After Xia Ling recovered from the shock, she asked Li Lei rather aggressively.

Li Lei was very innocent. "I only promised to marry you. Since when did I promise to marry someone else?" How was it his fault that some people got the wrong idea?

Nangong Qingya only felt that her heart was about to explode. Wh... what?! Second Young Master Li said that he only promised to marry that b*tch Ye Xingling?! He never said that he was going to marry anyone else?!

What exactly was the purpose of this dinner meeting then?!
