The next morning, as the early sun rose!
In the courtyard of the Baili family, outside Zhou Xuan's room.
A ray of sunlight slowly cast upon it!
The door to the room was opened from the inside at this moment.
"Oh!"
"What a delightful and unforgettable night!"
"The weather today is so refreshing!"
"Truly excellent!"
"My wife!"
"Hurry and get up!"
"Otherwise, if Baili Lie and the others come looking for me later!"
"And they find you in my room!"
"Won't that damage your husband's image as a pure young man when word gets out!"
"Besides, I was very gentle last night!"
"I didn't use any overly rough methods on you!"
"You shouldn't be unable to get out of bed today, right?"
As Zhou Xuan pushed open the door, he took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.
Then Zhou Xuan immediately turned around, facing the room behind him.
And uttered this speech, which could be considered the epitome of a scumbag.
"Whoosh!"
"Thwack!"
However, the moment Zhou Xuan finished speaking.
An object suddenly flew out from the room behind him.
It then accurately hit him on the forehead.
At the same time, Lu Ling'er's voice rang out.
"Hmph!"
"Pervert!"
"I'm telling you, Brother Xuan!"
"If you dare treat me like that again, I won't talk to you anymore!" Kuaishuge
"Also, there's something I want to say to you!"
"You had your chance and you blew it!"
"Can you even do it, you weakling!"
After saying this, Lu Ling'er, with a blushing face,
Swiftly ran past Zhou Xuan and back into her own room.
Leaving Zhou Xuan standing alone, after removing the pillow from his head.
He dazedly savored Lu Ling'er's parting words!
"Little girl, you're tired of living!"
"I..."
"Master, are you awake?"
"It's almost nine o'clock, shouldn't we get ready!"
"To attend the Fang family's birthday banquet?"
Just as Zhou Xuan was getting a bit agitated by Lu Ling'er's taunting words.
And was about to quickly chase after the girl to let her experience his abilities again.
An old voice from outside the courtyard rang out somewhat untimely.
"You little girl are lucky!"
"I'll settle the score with you after the banquet!"
Hearing Baili Yuntian's call from outside the courtyard.
Zhou Xuan had no choice but to temporarily abandon his plan to discipline the girl.
With a wave of his sleeve, he turned and walked towards the main hall of the Baili family.
"Hmph!"
"Scumbag Brother Xuan!"
"Still wants to deal with me?"
"Who's afraid of you!"
"It's always a lot of thunder and little rain!"
"You say so much, but you never actually do anything!"
"What a blockhead!"
Not long after Zhou Xuan left the courtyard.
Lu Ling'er, who had quickly run back to her room earlier.
Slowly opened her room door a crack again.
Then, through the crack, she stared at Zhou Xuan's receding back.
And muttered a few dissatisfied words.
But after complaining, her cheeks gradually turned red with embarrassment.
As if her words had reminded her of something shy.
"Forget it!"
"I should hurry and get ready!"
"Hearing that old man's words, today is the Fang family patriarch's birthday!"
"I can't hold Brother Xuan back on this!"
Muttering to herself again.
Lu Ling'er once again closed the door she had just opened.
This time, however, the purpose of closing the door was different from the previous playful interaction with Zhou Xuan.
This time, she was going to get herself ready and dressed up.
And then accompany Zhou Xuan to the banquet!
As for why she was doing this!
The reason was very simple!
Because this occasion was different from all previous ones!
In the past, no matter where they were, Lu Ling'er never thought of deliberately dressing up.
It was usually enough to be dressed appropriately and without any flaws!
But this time, she was not satisfied with that.
Because she knew that this Fang family banquet!
Given Zhou Xuan's status, he would certainly be welcomed as a distinguished guest by the Fang family!
And if she were still dressed as before, following Zhou Xuan.
While it wouldn't cause Zhou Xuan any embarrassment!
It probably wouldn't help Zhou Xuan gain any prestige either!
After all, she knew that even though her looks were impeccable.
Her usual attire was a bit too plain.
Making it difficult to create a striking impression!
And this Fang family banquet was bound to gather many prominent figures from Shangjing City!
At this moment, she and Zhou Xuan were both new faces.
Appearing for the first time in the eyes of Shangjing City's influential figures!
If she and Zhou Xuan couldn't make a dazzling appearance.
And yet be warmly invited as distinguished guests by the Fang family.
Then, it was inevitable that some people would express doubt.
Or even disdain!
And Lu Ling'er herself didn't care much about such a situation.
But she cared about how others viewed Zhou Xuan!
Because in her heart, her man was the most powerful person in the world!
And she would not tolerate anyone looking down on him or underestimating him!
So, how to change this situation!
Lu Ling'er's idea was very simple!
She was going to put on beautiful makeup.
Wear a magnificent outfit.
And then quietly stay by Zhou Xuan's side, being a "vase!"
Because she remembered someone once saying.
That if high-profile individuals meet for the first time.
And they don't know each other's backgrounds.
The most likely way they would judge each other.
Was by the quality of the companion they brought!
Although Lu Ling'er didn't really agree with this view!
She didn't want to dwell on it now.
If her appearance could help Zhou Xuan avoid some unwarranted questioning.
Then, she wouldn't mind dressing up meticulously occasionally!
Thus, in the main hall of the Baili family ahead.
Zhou Xuan was busy selecting how many people would accompany him to the Fang family's birthday banquet.
And informing them of what they needed to pay attention to.
In the backyard, Lu Ling'er was also diligently enhancing her appearance.
"Alright!"
"That's all I have to say!"
"Now, apart from Baili Yuntian and his grandson and granddaughter!"
"The rest of you, go do what you need to do!"
"If there's anything happening in the clan, contact your patriarch anytime!"
"We'll return immediately!"
"Alright!"
"Let's depart now, and head to the Fang family!"
With that said, Zhou Xuan turned and walked out of the Baili family first.
Behind him, Baili Yuntian and his two grandchildren followed closely.
They walked to the exclusive garage Baili Lie had found for him earlier.
And brought out the "Night King" purchased from Tianxing Car Dealership!
After picking up Lu Ling'er, who had just finished her makeup.
Zhou Xuan and his party of five, amidst the roaring engine of the Night King.
Like a bolt of lightning, they sped towards the Fang family's location!
