Xiao Li guessed right; after work, Professor Chen called everyone out for dinner! The call was made in the office. Xiao Li heard it and really wanted to go see her senior being scolded, but she had other plans tonight. Uncle must already be waiting at the hospital entrance. Shao Yu also heard the teacher’s call and leaned over to Xiao Li’s ear, whispering, "You truly hit the nail on the head! I want to go watch our senior get chastised. I know you can’t make it, so I’ll give you a live report tomorrow!" Xiao Li gave a thumbs up, "Good job, I’ll wait for your report then! I’m off!" Shao Yu waved her hand, "Go on! You blissful little lady!" Xiao Li sprinted out of the hospital, and Qin Xiao was already waiting at the gate. The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 As soon as Xiao Li ran over, she rushed into Qin Xiao’s arms, "Uncle!" With Xiao Li , you wouldn’t know she was a mother if not told. A woman who’s doted upon really is different! Though she’s a mother, she still carries the look of a little girl, innocent and adorable! Qin Xiao kissed Xiao Li’s forehead lightly, "Get in the car!" Over the past two years at school, they’ve often shown affection publicly. Xiao Li has grown accustomed to intimate gestures in public places, taking it in stride. After getting in the car and settling in the rear seat, Xiao Li asked, "Uncle, are we going straight to the styling session?" Tonight, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao were to attend a banquet. Naturally, they couldn’t go wearing these casual clothes! Qin Xiao nodded, "Yeah, let’s make a stop at the styling studio first." The car started and headed to the studio. Coming out of the studio, Xiao Li was hardly recognizable from her earlier self. Xiao Li, who earlier looked like a young girl, now wore a red strapless backless dress, exuding sex appeal and charm! Standing beside Qin Xiao, this version of Xiao Li was undoubtedly the epitome of an elegant lady! Seeing Xiao Li dressed , Qin Xiao was somewhat reluctant to take her out. Too beautiful, too alluring. Luckily, Dilina was the designer always responsible for their image design. She knew Qin Xiao’s limits and called an assistant to bring a shawl. Dilina chuckled, "Second Master, I understand what you’re thinking; no other sleazy man will see your lovely wife , only you! How’s that? Looks good, huh!" The assistant brought over the shawl, and Dilina draped it over Xiao Li. The shawl was white, with tassels at the front and ruffles at the back, covering half of her exposed back. Once worn, Xiao Li’s temperament transformed. She transitioned from an elegant lady to a gentle mature woman, losing the previous allure but gaining a serene charm, still equally captivating. No matter how Xiao Li dressed, she always caught Qin Xiao’s eye. Qin Xiao sighed helplessly; if it weren’t for tonight’s must-attend banquet, he really wouldn’t want to take Xiao Li out. Isn’t home more inviting? Watching Qin Xiao’s expression, Dilina amusingly shook her head, "Second Master, this is for attending a banquet. If you want to hide your wife dressed , then I’d suggest not attending the banquet!" Xiao Li giggled, "Dilina, next time, design a more conservative dress for me, alright?" Dilina was speechless, "Madam, in what way is this dress not conservative? I consider it already quite conservative! If I weren’t accommodating Second Master’s mood, I’d really want to remove the shawl, letting your alluring back be fully visible! Xiao Li’s back had a tattoo of bellflowers to cover a scar, making it incredibly enticing! Especially now with the backless dress and a partial shawl, leaving the tattoo tantalizingly visible beneath the ruffles, urging one to see the complete design. So now Xiao Li, while looking quite demure from the front, truly takes one’s breath away from the back! Qin Xiao really wanted to hide Xiao Li; it’s ironic that Dilina, knowing his thoughts, still styled her so enticingly! Qin Xiao felt maybe he should consider switching designers next time! Time was running out, and Qin Xiao had to take Xiao Li to the banquet despite his reluctance. Tonight’s banquet was a charity event led by the Qin Family, though it’s truthfully Qin Xiao at the forefront. The banquet was initiated after Qin Xiao knew Xiao Li had returned from rebirth. He considered Xiao Li’s return a heavenly blessing, and receiving such a boon meant they ought to give back! Thus Qin Xiao established a charity foundation, holding an annual charity banquet. Funds raised were entirely used by the foundation to support children in impoverished regions! Additionally, Qin Xiao annually d medicine to some poor elders! Therefore, Qin Xiao, being the lead, had to attend the banquet, otherwise, he really disliked attending banquets, especially with Xiao Li! Inside the luxurious banquet hall of Heshun Villa, Qin Tan and He Jie had arrived earlier and were socializing. At such banquets, Father Qin and Mother Qin no longer enjoyed attending. Throughout the year, they’d only attend family banquets organized by in-laws. When Qin Xiao and Xiao Li arrived, the banquet hall was already lively. Most people there were interacting mostly with Qin Tan. After all, Qin Tan was the apparent family leader, and outsiders didn’t know this charity banquet was led by Qin Xiao, assuming it was organized by the Qin Family. This outcome was precisely what Qin Xiao wanted. From the start, Qin Xiao used the family name instead of his own, partly because the family name is more recognizable than his as Second Master! And partly because using the family name allowed him to take it easy! His philanthropy aims to accumulate and practice goodness, not for vanity. His genuine efforts were enough. Every banquet, he and Xiao Li attended, sometimes joining with the foundation to medicine and goods, but they never showed themselves front-and-center, always blending in quietly, remaining unseen! As Qin Tan raised glasses with others, he spotted Qin Xiao leisurely strolling in, feeling utterly aggrieved! Though this banquet was supposed to be his own, yet the one exhausted from entertaining and drinking was him, so frustrating! Sharing Qin Tan’s sentiment was He Jie, who was faking smiles for the ladies around, which she certainly didn’t enjoy. After each banquet, her face felt wooden! Since Qin Tan attended numerous banquets, He Jie inevitably accompanied him far too often, both of them envying Qin Xiao and Xiao Li! Qin Xiao and Xiao Li naturally sensed the resentful gaze from his brother and sister-in-law. Considering the banquet’s importance, they proactively joined in to assist with the socializing.
