(I have completely convinced myself. This brain... I don’t even know how to set up free chapters. Oh my god! Try again. I hope everyone can forgive me. I haven’t added an update for a long time. I hope everyone can read it.

For the sake of making up for the update, Wuyu forgives Wuyu’s mistake!)

"Auntie, can I not go?"

Thinking that that hateful guy was here, Lu Qiyu looked at her aunt pitifully and said.

"Why? Why are you scared?"

Seeing that his niece did not dare to go out here, Peide just thought she was timid and regretted it. In those years, she had been like a Chinese woman, staying at home and living frugally, so she never brought Xiaoyu to participate.

After the dance, she was now nervous, and Peide had no idea at this time that her niece didn't want to go out because of another reason.

"I……"

Why don't you want to go? Could it be because, thinking about her, the image of Yuntai Mountain once again appeared, and when I thought of that image, the crisp sound seemed to reappear in my ears, and the words that followed...

A smile flashed across her face for no apparent reason.

Seeing a smile on his niece's face, Peide, who thought she had summoned up her strength, took her arm and walked out of the lounge. It wasn't until she walked out of the lounge that the sound of music called Lu Qiyu's soul back, and she saw the banquet hall.

Everyone had started dancing, and it was too late for Lu Qiyu to regret it.

"Xiaoyu, just keep smiling!"

Finding that Xiaoyu seemed a little nervous, Peide quickly reminded her softly that today she would make her niece the star of the entire ball. By then, all the troubles would be solved. As a general's daughter and noble lady, Peide knew very well that

, the influence of the upper class, the Ma family may be the richest man in Beijing, but no matter in any country, wealth will always shrink in the face of power.

"..."

Li Zicheng was completely stunned when he saw the girl walking into the banquet hall. Her elegant bun was full of classical charm, and her clothes were fluttering. She was like a woman walking out of a painting of a lady, demure and pure, soft and graceful.

Gentleness is very different from the weak beauty shown by most girls in this era. This is like a lovely girl walking out of a picture of a lady, flawless and like an orchid in the empty valley that is not stained with dust.

What surprised Li Zicheng the most was that this girl was wearing a chest-high Confucian skirt, if he didn't remember it. He found this chest-high skirt on "Secretary Liu's" computer two or three years ago.

, out of curiosity, someone made it according to the pattern, and then put it in a department store. The sales volume was terrible. In this era, few people can accept this kind of clothing, but today, I can see it here.

How could he not be surprised by an extremely beautiful girl wearing this chest-length Confucian skirt with a deep green lining and a lotus-colored hem?

"There is a beautiful woman in the northern country, peerless and independent. She looks at the Qingren city and then the Qingren country..."

Seeing the girl's appearance from a distance, Li Zicheng felt temporarily lost in his heart. Although he knew it was only for a moment, he finally understood the beauty of the city and the country described in the "Beauty Song".

Realizing that everyone's attention was on her, Lu Qiyu seemed even more nervous, and her slender hands were clasped together even more tightly. At this time, amidst all the stunning glances, she still followed her aunt's instructions.

While asking for a smile, he involuntarily cast his gaze to another "acquaintance" in the banquet hall besides the aunt.

As soon as her attention turned, her big eyes were pointed straight at Li Zicheng. For Li Zicheng, who was over 1.85 meters tall, he seemed to stand out even among these foreigners.

It was very conspicuous. After this glance, Lu Qiyu realized that he was also looking at her. The moment their eyes met, she felt her cheeks turn red and quickly averted her eyes while using her aunt to introduce herself to the ladies.

….

"Looks familiar!"

Li Zicheng was a little confused when he saw the lovely lady in a bust-length skirt walking out of the picture. Under the guidance of Mrs. Lu, she was introduced to the wives of ministers and ministers from various countries. Li Zicheng was a little confused. He seemed to have seen her somewhere.

, but I couldn’t remember it for a moment.

Where did you see her?

Lianyungang!

The answer is very obvious, because only more than a hundred pieces of chest-length underskirts were made, and the sales volume was not much, only a dozen pieces. At that time, Ou Chu and others laughed at her. Maybe I had seen her in Lianyungang.

.

Where is it in Lianyungang?

The girls he had interacted with at various dances in Lianyungang kept popping up in his mind, but none of them seemed to have any memory of this girl, which made him a little confused.

"A beautiful woman always looks familiar to a man!"

Finally, Li Zicheng found a suitable excuse for himself. Just when he found this excuse, Mrs. Peide's voice rang in his ears.

"Mr. Prime Minister!"

After greeting the Chief Financial Officer and his wife, Mrs. Peide walked to the Prime Minister with her niece.

"Mrs. Lu!..."

Smiling in greeting, Li Zicheng still couldn't help but cast her eyes on the girl next to her. From a distance, the girl looked like an orchid in an empty valley without dust, but up close, she looked even more stunningly pure and lovely. She was not wearing any makeup.

Her face was as warm and jade-like as it reflected the light, making it difficult for people to look away.

Standing next to her aunt, Lu Qiyu felt very nervous when she saw that this man seemed to be looking at her. You must know that she had slapped him and even said...

"Mr. Prime Minister, she is my niece Lu Qiyu. Xiaoyu, this is the Prime Minister Li Zhiyuan!"

Although she was reluctant, Lu Qiyu, who just wanted to leave quickly, quickly bowed.

"Hello Mr. Prime Minister..."

When the girl was giving the gift, Li Zicheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw her beautiful face! It happened that a new song was playing, so he put his left hand behind his back and made an invitation gesture with his right hand.

"Miss Lu, can you dance for a while?"

Those big eyes opened slightly. For a moment, Lu Qiyu didn't know whether she should refuse or...she was not the only one who was surprised. When Li Zicheng invited Lu Qiyu to dance, almost everyone turned their attention to them.

, as we all know, as the "most prominent and richest" single man in China, the reason why Li Zicheng doesn't like to attend dance parties is not necessarily because of how troublesome his work is. The real reason is probably because there are too many people who are eager to be a part of the dance party.

"Mrs. Lee" girl.

Apart from his personal power and wealth, perhaps one of the unique reasons why the ladies are so eager to try is that this man is too handsome. Perhaps, the ladies in China are very gentle,

They are shy, but it does not prevent them from liking handsome and elegant men, and it does not prevent the ladies of the world from dreaming about "Mrs. Li". It also does not prevent many ordinary girls from dreaming about Cinderella. There are even some

Some ladies.

The experience of almost becoming a "girl target" at several dances made Li Zicheng keep a distance from ladies. After all, maintaining a good reputation is a very important thing for him. As for taking the initiative

There are only a handful of people who have invited her to dance. Except for the invitations he made to several ministers' wives out of diplomatic etiquette, as far as the outside world knows, it seems that he has never taken the initiative to invite young girls to dance, and even once said "no".

"I know how to dance" was used as an excuse to refuse invitations from bold ladies or ministers or generals' daughters.

But now, Li Zicheng, who had rejected almost all invitations from women, took the initiative to invite this girl who amazed everyone as soon as she appeared to dance. While surprising them, it seemed very natural. Of course, there were some men or women among them.

Jealous eyes….

Similarly, Lu Qiyu had previously rejected invitations from many men.

Reject or accept!

For a moment, Lu Qiyu didn't know how to choose. She also noticed that when he sent out the invitation, everyone's eyes were on the two of them, and even the originally lively central dance floor began to slowly give way to an area.

Reject him!

"..."

When she was about to say no, the flashlight flashed. She didn't need to think about it. Lu Qiyu knew that if she rejected him, it might be published in the newspaper tomorrow - Prime Minister Xiao Li was rejected when he invited a lady to dance at a ball!

Thinking about the fact that he had rejected many invitations from ladies to dances, Lu Qiyu could imagine what they would say about him. While they would be glad that he was rejected, they would blame her blindly. She herself would probably become the object of criticism.

Furthermore... looking at this man who, to be honest, was probably the most handsome man she had ever seen. Although she was a little reluctant, in the eyes of everyone, Lu Qiyu didn't want him to be "embarrassed" because...

"She won't reject me..."

He murmured in his heart, Li Zicheng finally understood what retribution is! Isn't this just retribution? Who told you to refuse with false aloofness in the past? Just when the smile on your face slowly turned into embarrassment, you saw a

The delicate hand rested quietly between the palm of his right hand.

The boneless feeling of the catkins made Li Zicheng disappear. Although the girl didn't say anything, when the two of them walked towards the dance floor and Lu Qiyu put her hand on her partner's left shoulder, Li Zicheng still said softly.

"Thanks!"

"I, I'm not doing it for you!"

When the crisp words reached his ears, Li Zicheng noticed that the smile on the face of the girl in front of him disappeared and was replaced by a look of frost. It seemed that she was very resistant to him. Wait, why is this expression so familiar? Suddenly

, a scene from two years ago appeared in front of Li Zicheng's eyes, and finally he understood. Yes, this beautiful lady who walked out of the picturesque scene was the one he forcibly kissed on Yuntai Mountain, and then gave him a slap in the face.

It's no wonder that I didn't recognize the girl. The two times I saw her, her clothes were extremely Westernized, but this time she was a lovely girl who stepped out of the picture of a lady. The difference was so obvious, how could it be possible?

Recognizable at a glance.

A good dog stays out of the way!

Thinking about the girl's choking reply when he tried to stop her to apologize later at the shipyard, a playful smile appeared on Li Zicheng's face. Maybe...

While dancing to the music, Lu Qiyu knew that during this period, his eyes had been paying attention to every move he made. Wait, what kind of smile was that on his face? It was a good smile... looking at this handsome man made him feel sad.

Lu Qiyu felt that she was enduring the somewhat annoying face, and she was also enduring it...

"Zhiyuan invites women to dance?"

Yuan Shikai, who was about to appear in a military uniform, listened to Liang Shiyi's report. What's there to report? A dance, a dance, isn't it just about dancing with others?

"President, he invited a young lady!"

"Young lady,"

Yuan Shikai, who still found nothing unusual, continued to walk forward.
To be continued...
