“What?” When Lu Qi heard this, he frowned.

The birthday party of this big shot in the design world was not as strict as other banquets in the upper-class society, so there should be some people who wanted to take this opportunity to climb up to the rich and powerful.

He could not figure out why Bai Yi had appeared here.

Could it be that she was the same as those women who wanted to cling to the rich and powerful?

“Don’t tell her I’m here. Then find someone to follow her and help me record who she spoke with tonight.”

The assistants and bodyguards who did not know Lu Qi’s true marriage status were puzzled, but they still did as they were told.

“Also, you can’t expose my identity in front of Bai Yi. It’s best if you don’t have any contact with her.”

The confused bodyguards and assistants finally understood that their boss wanted to pretend to be poor and develop a relationship with the lady boss. This might be some fun game for rich people.

Bai Yi was full and sat in her seat in satisfaction as she watched Cui Yu bring over another small cake.

“This is really delicious. At home, my mother monitors my diet every day. She said that in order to marry into a rich family and manage my figure, I’ll eat grass five out of the seven days of the week. I’m going to die,” Cui Yu complained as she ate.

“Auntie just hopes that you can have a good future,” Bai Yi comforted.

“What good future? Look at the Young Master of the Lu family they’re praising. I heard that he’s already thirty years old. There’s no scandal at all. Not even with men. Do you think he can’t do it in that aspect…” Cui Yu gossiped.

“What? Perhaps he’s just busy with work and doesn’t want to date. Can you not guess everything so wretchedly?” Bai Yi smiled and pushed Cui Yu.

“But Bai Yi, isn’t your husband also thirty years old? Do you think he hasn’t gotten married because he can’t do it?”

When the topic turned to her, Bai Yi blushed. Thinking of Lu Qi’s figure she had seen this morning, if someone with such a figure could not do it, it sounded a little unreasonable.

“What? We’re just roommates now. Let’s talk about that in the future.”

Bai Yi blushed. Although she and Lu Qi were married, she had only thought about running this family with him, but she had never thought about what should happen between a husband and wife.

The two of them had only seen each other a few times. How could they do such a thing so easily?

If he asked, would she be willing? Thinking of this, Bai Yi’s face turned even redder.

“I was just saying. Why are you blushing?” Cui Yu said. “Alright, alright. Don’t take it to heart. Just let nature take its course with Mr. Lu.”

With that, she looked up and circled the venue. “Should we leave first?”

She had to go to the dance studio early tomorrow. She could not play too late. Bai Yi nodded in agreement.

The two of them picked up their purses and were about to leave when a young man stopped them.

“Sis, Bai Yi, I haven’t had a drink with you two today.”

It was Sun Yang, Cui Yu’s cousin’s younger brother and also Cui Yu’s cousin. Previously, when the dance studio was being renovated, this younger brother had come to help quite a lot, so the three of them were very familiar.

Sun Yang handed them a small glass of white wine. “Why aren’t you drinking with me before leaving?”

“We have to work tomorrow, and we don’t have anything to do here, so we’ll leave first. We won’t delay your socializing.”

Sun Yang had been starting a business recently. Cui Yu’s cousin was probably taking Sun Yang to meet some dignitaries to pave the way for his business.

“You still have to have a drink, or it’ll make me look rude, right, Bai Yi?”

Sun Yang looked at Bai Yi with a smile in his eyes.

Taking the wine glass, Cui Yu punched her cousin. “What Bai Yi? Call her Sister Yi. How rude.”

Bai Yi readily drank a cup with him and the two of them prepared to leave.

“Let me send you off.” Sun Yang walked to the door with the two of them and took out his car keys. “My sister just gave this to me.”

It was the key to a BMW. Although the BMW was considered a famous car, it was still much inferior to the Rolls-Royces parked outside the banquet hall.

“Don’t. Your sister would love for you to make a few more friends from the upper-class society and give her a Lamborghini to drive around next year. Don’t waste time with us.” Cui Yu pushed Sun Yang away jokingly.

“Then I won’t send you off. Be careful on the way.” Sun Yang casually hailed a car and escorted the two of them into it. When Bai Yi got into the car, he naturally covered her with his hand to prevent her from bumping her head. His actions were extremely gentlemanly.

As soon as the car left, there was a commotion behind.

Sun Yang turned around and saw the head of the Lu family standing behind him and looking at him.
