My Dangerous Billionaire Husband Chapter 322 - Whether He Liked It Or Not

Both men were dressed in black suits, but Lu Shaoming had a black shirt under his suit, and he did not put on a tie. He undid two of the top b.u.t.tons. There was a white pocket square folded in the pocket of the suit , and he looked elegant and mighty.


Zhou Dayuan was dressed in a black suit with a white shirt underneath. He put on a tie. He rarely wore such formal attire, but his pure, handsome figure was both refined and warm when he did so.


When the both of them made an appearance, they immediately attracted a large amount of attention.


One was a president of a company, and another was a talented young man. Neither of them had brought a female guest to accompany them. Those daughters from wealthy families, and even some young and beautiful women were channelling their gazes at the duo.


They were rich and powerful, and they possessed high status in society. They even had a handsome appearance. It was just so easy for them to attract women’s eyes.


Tang Xueli had a gla.s.s of red wine in his hand, and he was chatting with someone else, but he suddenly realized that Zhou Zhilei, who was beside him, had stopped moving. She was looking in some direction, and she was staring at a specific spot.


Tang Xueli looked in the direction that she was looking at, and in the middle of the brightly lit big banquet hall, that man took a gla.s.s of red wine from the attendant, and he was chatting uninterestedly with others. He was chatting with Zhou Dayuan softly with a low gaze.


Tang Xueli bent his body over and pressed himself beside Zhou Zhilei’s ears to laugh softly before he asked, “Why are you still thinking of him?”


Zhou Zhilei snorted coldly. Both her eyes had a glow of hatred in them, and she slowly said, “I want him to die!”


Tang Xueli broke out into intense laughter. He was in a merry mood as he stretched his hand out to cup her shoulders. “This is the character that I like, but, Zhilei, it is not fun anymore after he dies.”


Zhou Zhilei turned her head around to look at Tang Xueli. She lifted her eyebrows and was careful as she said, “Xueli, Shaoming is an intelligent, capable man. He did not die on the plane, and he did not die in the hands of the villagers we hired. Now that he has returned to T City, he will definitely suspect us, and we have to be cautious from here on.”


Tang Xuelei was expectant as he fearlessly said, “Zhilei, why are you so nervous? His body is under a love spell. You choose between him dying off in one go or you look on as both him and Ning Qing are in love but they are not able to be together. You have to make a choice. Which one do you pick?”


Zhou Zhilei curled up the corners of her lips as she said, “Of course it is the latter.”


“Then isn’t it settled? Don’t worry. When haveI ever made you worry?”


Zhou Zhilei thought of one thing, and she took the initiative to hold Tang Xueli’s elbow as she gently said, “Xueli, does the love spell really have a cure? Where is the cure to the love spell at then?”


Tang Xueli lifted his eyebrows and withdrew his arm. “Zhilei, don’t ask about this,” he said playfully.


Zhou Zhilei knew that he would not answer her, because she had already asked this question numerous times. Tang Xueli was a person who was easily suspicious. She was afraid if she asked him too many times, it would turn out bad for her.


“Xueli, let us go see my older brother then. I do not know what incapacitating agent my older brother is under. He does not want to help his own younger sister, and he dares to help others instead.”


“Okay.”


…


The two of them walked over to Lu Shaoming and Zhou Dayuan. “Older Brother.” Zhou Zhilei greeted her brother.


Zhou Dayuan lifted his gaze to look at Zhou Zhilei, it was his own younger sister after all, he could not ignore her presence totally. He had a gentle expression as he said, “Zhi Lei.”


“Older Brother, when did you return to T City? If you are back in T City, why did you not return home? Mum has been talking about you lately. She said that you are almost 32 years old, but you do not even have a proper girlfriend. Mum has many pictures of daughters of other wealthy families in her hands. She said that you should go home, pick one, and go on a date.”


Zhou Dayuan did not have a discernable expression on his face. It was obvious that he was used to this nagging as he lifted his hand up to take a sip of red wine.


“Older Brother.” Zhou Zhilei went forward to tug Zhou Dayuan’s shirt sleeve as she said, “Follow me.”


“Where are we going?”


There were two beautiful daughters from rich families a distance away, and Zhou Zhilei waved excitedly towards one of them. She softly said, “Older Brother, this is the daughter of the Li family of property magnates. Her name is Li Beibei. Not only does she have a good aura and natural beauty, but she is also a talented woman. Mum and I have selected her. Let me introduce you to her.”


Zhou Dayuan glanced at Li Beibei. She was wearing an elegant floor-length dress. She had exquisite makeup on her face. The first impression that she gave others was not bad. Actually, he did not need to look at her to know that she was not bad, because both his mother and younger sister were really picky when picking a wife for him.


His marriage was a tool to boost relations with other wealthy families. The better the wife he had, the more power the Zhou family would have.


Li Beibei walked over, and Zhou Zhilei introduced them before she left. She gave the two people s.p.a.ce to interact with one another.


Li Beibei looked at the man beside her. He was extremely handsome. His facial features were delicate. He had one hand in his pocket, and he had another hand on the gla.s.s of red wine. His hands were really fair and beautiful — the cla.s.sic hands of a doctor.


His aura was warm and delicate, but he also had a cold air surrounding him. When she looked into his eyes, the 32 year old man had all of his emotions hidden behind them. He was sharp and intelligent. It was as if he had seen all the specks of dust in this world, but he did not bother about a single speck of dust in his eyes.


This then the most arrogant and haughty man on this earth.


Li Beibei laughed and said, “Mr. Zhou, how are you?”


Zhou Dayuan placed the gla.s.s of red wine on the counter in front of him, and he turned sideways to glance at Li Beibei. His expression was very polite, but his att.i.tude was careless as he said, “Miss Lee, how are you?”


Li Beibei also did not feel sidelined as she smiled graciously. “Mr. Zhou, we don’t have to worry about your younger sister. I have only met her briefly a few times. We are not on the same path. To be honest, I do not like to see her trying to be diligent and caring upon learning of my surname, Li.”


Zhou Dayuan froze for a moment, and it was only then that he looked at Li Beibei in the eye.


Li Beibei welcomed his gaze graciously, and said, “Mr. Zhou, how are you doing? Please remember my name. I am Li Beibei. I am very interested in you.”


Zhou Dayuan curled up the corners of his lips as the smile on his face was very light. He looked in front of him and did not speak.


“Mr. Zhou, we can try to date. I am 28 years old this year. Because I have a very particular taste in men, I have picked many men and ended up being left over. But don’t be mistaken, I am not an easy woman, and you can say that I am cautious with my body. You have reached the age for marriage, and my prospects are not bad. I am also interested in you. We can spend time together with the intention of getting married.”


Zhou Dayuan lifted his gaze to look at Li Beibei. He shrugged his as he smiled sincerely. “Miss Lee, there is something that I have to let you know: If your surname was not Li, then we wouldn’t have had reason to meet and come to know each other.”


Since he was so honest, Li Beibei fluttered her eyes coolly before she nodded her head. “I understand. I am the only daughter in my family. Whether I like it or not, all the wealth in the Li family would belong to me. Since that is the case, why would I not enjoy the perks that come with it? Because my surname is Li, I am a candidate for Mr. Zhou. Precisely because my surname is Li, I personally think that I would fulfil the role of Mrs. Zhou well. In the future, your mother and younger sister would hand the unimportant tasks over to me. You can focus on practicing medicine. I would be a good wife and mother.”


Zhou Dayuan lifted his eyebrows and was silent for a few seconds.


He actually agreed with one line that she had said: whether he liked it or not.


If he did not marry at the ripe age of 32, would he really plan to stay single till his death?


Actually, his heart was already fated to be single till his death.


Zhou Dayuan turned around and faced Li Beibei, “Miss Li, what books you do normally enjoy reading?”


Li Beibei smiled. This was a very good start.


…


Zhou Zhilei saw Zhou Dayuan and Li Beibei chatting, and she had a satisfied expression on her face. At this moment, someone walked into the banquet hall from the main door. Her eyes lit up, and she went forward to greet that person. “Sitian.”


Tang Sitian was 20 years old this year. She was dressed in a pink strapless dress. She was youthful and pretty, and she was chatting merrily with some of her cla.s.smates as she walked inside.


She saw Zhou Zhilei and had a sweet smile on her face as she said, “Second Sister-in-law.”


Despite how Zhou Zhilei was nonchalant towards the t.i.tle of Second Sister-in-law, she still pa.s.sionately held onto Tang Sitian’s small hand as she said, “Sitian, aren’t you studying abroad? How come you are back now? You are being playful again.”


“Second Sister-in-law, you cannot tell Oldest Brother and Second Brother about it. If you do, both of them would come and chide me again.”


Zhou Zhilei was jealous of Tang Sitian. She had two older brothers who had pampered her from birth. She was the youngest in the family, and she was the precious baby. She had a naïve and romantic character.


“Don’t worry, I would not tell your Second Brother.”


“Second sister-in-law, where is my Second Brother then?”


“Oh, he is over there.” Zhou Zhilei pointed in his direction.


Tang Sitian looked in the direction that she was pointing to, and Tang Xueli was in the middle of chatting with Lu Shaoming. Tang Sitian’s gaze immediately went to Lu Shaoming.


She could only see Lu Shaoming’s side profile from her position. The man was handsome and charming as he was dressed in black. There was a sparkling chandelier above his head, and his side profile could be seen in the glow. He was so handsome that it made others’ hearts race.


As for a girl like Tang Sitian, a prosperous and experienced man of high status like Lu Shaoming was just like a magnet. The charm of a mature man attracted her immensely.


It was maybe because Tang Sitian was looking at him for an extended period of time, her cla.s.smate beside her also followed along to have a glance. Everyone was wowed as they started to chat among themselves excitedly.


“Sitian, who is the man standing with your older brother? He is so handsome.”


“That’s right, look at his face. That figure… He is just exactly like a model that has walked out of a magazine!”


“What model? I think that handsome uncle is a domineering president. Sitian, do you want to try making the domineering president fall in love with you?”


Zhou Zhilei heard the group of young girls chatting, and she was unhappy behind her calm facade. No matter where Lu Shaoming stood, there were large bunches of people who would be interested in him, and even these small young girls were no exception.


It was a pity that the man who could any woman had chosen his current wife.


As she was in deep thought, Zhou Zhilei suddenly channelled her gaze towards the main doors where the security guards stood. Two figures walked in. It was probably because they did not have the invitation card that they were negotiating with the security team.


Zhou Zhilei had a spark in her eyes. She quickly said, “Si Tian, how is it going? That man is the well known Young Master Lu. If you like him, then take a chance and chase after him.”


Tang Sitian pouted her small lips as she courageously said, “I will do just that. You watch.”


Her small face was bright red as she walked over.


…


Ning Qing and Jian Han stood outside the door, blocked by the security guards. “Miss, I am sorry. Without the invitation card, you two cannot go in.”


Jian Han explained, “There are people we know inside. Can I trouble you to go in and ask them?”


The security guard hesitated for a moment and said, “This…”


At this moment, “Jian Han.” Tang Fan, who was dressed in a suit, walked over from inside.


“Tang Fan.” Jian Han met her saviour, and she speedily curled up the corners of her lips until she a smile on her face.


Tang Fan looked at the security guard and said, “It’s fine. Let them in.”


“Okay.” The security guard made a gesture signalling for them to come in.


Jian Han held onto Ning Qing’s small hand as they walked into the large banquet hall.
