After chatting for a while longer, the main event of the banquet began. A strong light shone down in the center of the banquet hall, and Qin Zilong, the host of the charity banquet, took the stage. At the charity banquet, the celebrities attending would bring out a treasure of their own to auction, and the money raised would directly go to the foundation as charity funds. With an auction, Qin Zilong, the auctioneer, naturally had to take the stage! The auction started, and Xiao Li and He Jie went to find Qin Tan and Qin Xiao. On the way, He Jie was still angry about Fang Fu’s words, "Xiao Li, you should attend more banquets in the future! Save yourself from being looked down upon by some brainless people!" Xiao Li shook her head, "Good sister-in-law, spare me, please! You know I dislike these occasions the most! As for those who look down on me, you said they’re brainless, so why should we bother with people like that!" He Jie said angrily, "In Ah Xiao’s eyes and in ours, you’re a treasure, so why should someone like her look down on you? She doesn’t deserve it! Just wait! If Ah Xiao finds out about this, she won’t have a good time!" Thinking of Qin Xiao, Xiao Li agreed with what He Jie said! If others dared to upset her, the uncle definitely wouldn’t let it go easily! Thinking about having a big mountain behind her, Xiao Li suddenly felt a bit smug. When they reached Qin Tan and Qin Xiao, He Jie immediately recounted what had just happened. Although it would eventually reach Qin Xiao’s ears, the protective He Jie didn’t want to wait for the news to trickle down, so she spoke up right away. After hearing it, Qin Xiao’s expression immediately turned cold, and even Qin Tan’s face didn’t look good. The Qin Family people are always protective! Qin Xiao cast a cold glance at Lv Ming behind him on the left. No wonder this guy had been avoiding eye contact after taking a phone call earlier! Xiao Li smiled and said to Qin Xiao, "Uncle, I’m fine. She’s not right in the head and I already snapped back at her, the auction has started, let’s focus on that for now!" Qin Xiao nodded, temporarily suppressing his displeasure. Qin Zilong was very good at creating an atmosphere. As soon as the auction began, treasures started coming forth one after another. Qin Xiao also bid on a blue water-diamond bracelet for Xiao Li. Xiao Li initially didn’t want him to bid on it; she worked at the hospital every day, couldn’t wear these jewelry pieces, so why bother? But Qin Xiao thought the bracelet suited Xiao Li, so he insisted on bidding for it. When the bracelet was delivered, Qin Xiao opened the box and put it on Xiao Li himself. From a distance earlier, Xiao Li didn’t see how pretty the bracelet was, but now, wearing it, she found it quite beautiful! "It suits you very well!" The auction continued, and the last two items were provided by Qin Xiao and Qin Tan. Since the event was hosted by the Qin Family, their contributions were naturally reserved for the grand finale! After the last two items were auctioned off, the auction ended, the banquet continued, and the center of the room turned into a dance floor. Qin Xiao reached out to Xiao Li, "How about a dance?" Xiao Li raised an eyebrow, was Uncle being so high-profile today? Official source ıs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 After thinking slightly, Xiao Li understood Qin Xiao’s intention. He thought he had been too low-profile before, and today she was aggrieved, so now he wanted to make a statement and let others see clearly! Xiao Li nodded lightly, held Qin Xiao’s hand, and entered the dance floor. Xiao Li had learned to dance since she was young, so dancing was not a problem for her. Although she was a bit reserved at first, after a couple of moves, she completely fell into the rhythm! The people who were dancing before slowly stopped and stepped aside upon seeing Qin Xiao and Xiao Li’s partnered dance. For a while, the dance floor only had Qin Xiao and Xiao Li dancing. Although they didn’t often dance together, they were quite familiar with each other’s bodies and had great chemistry, making the dance extraordinarily beautiful! When they finished dancing, applause erupted all around them as the two stepped down. He Jie chuckled, handing Xiao Li a glass of champagne, "Xiao Li, I didn’t expect you to dance so well!" He Jie was born with coordination issues and couldn’t dance, so she was always amazed when she saw others dance well! Xiao Li took the champagne with a smile, "I learned to dance before, but haven’t danced much in recent years and got rusty!" He Jie shook her head, "I couldn’t see any rustiness in you!" Qin Tan laughed and said, "If someone who can’t dance could see the rustiness in a dance, that would be strange!" He Jie shot a deadly glare, and Qin Tan immediately fell silent! Qin Xiao, after taking a few sips of champagne, said, "The banquet’s almost over, let’s head out!" Qin Tan nodded, knowing that Qin Xiao and the others don’t like to linger in such occasions. He didn’t like it either! Qin Xiao held Xiao Li close as they left, and once in the car, Qin Xiao lowered the panel in the middle and pulled Xiao Li in for a kiss! While dancing earlier, he had already wanted to do this! Dancing Xiao Li was stunning beyond words; he almost regretted bringing Xiao Li along to dance, as such beauty wasn’t meant for others to see! After a long while, Qin Xiao finally let go of Xiao Li, "You witch!" Xiao Li, breathing lightly, "Mm, I’m a witch. Now I want to dig out your heart, will you give it to me?" Qin Xiao chuckled lowly, "Didn’t you take it a long time ago?" Xiao Li laughed heartily, shaking with laughter. Seeing Xiao Li , Qin Xiao’s gaze darkened a little, feeling that home was a bit too far! Looking out of the car window at the hotel, Qin Xiao directly instructed the driver to head to the hotel! There were still several third wheels at home, why go back and feel awkward! They parked, got out, checked in, and in less than ten minutes, Xiao Li was already tossed onto the bed by Qin Xiao! Xiao Li, completely confused, was dismantled bone by bone by Qin Xiao! Afterwards, Xiao Li nestled in Qin Xiao’s arms, laughing joyfully! Qin Xiao rubbed her and softly asked, "What are you laughing about?" Xiao Li laughed, "I’m laughing at you for being so prim and proper! Uncle, before today, if someone had told me you would check into a hotel room, I wouldn’t have believed it! But now, this place we’re in tells me you also have your moments of urgency!" With a deep voice, Qin Xiao said, "Does this count as urgent? From the moment you put on that dress, I was already enchanted, holding back all night, I’d say I’m not too urgent!" Xiao Li scoffed, "Not urgent, you didn’t even make time to go home!" Qin Xiao shook his head, "It’s not about time, with those few at home, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it!" Xiao Li’s mouth dropped open, "How much more enjoyment are you after? Enough to bring the house down?" Qin Xiao’s gaze darkened, "Not the house, just you!" Xiao Li was once again tragically dismantled! On the second day, with Xiao Li still groggy from sleep, Qin Xiao took her phone and called Professor Chen to ask for leave! In her grogginess, Xiao Li heard him calling to ask for leave and went back to sleep with peace of mind! Qin Xiao put down the phone, pulled Xiao Li into his arms, and also got some sleep, as they barely slept the night before!
