Chapter 30: I Am Li Yexing From China

"Is she beautiful?" Lilith asked coldly.

"Not as beautiful as you," Li Yexing casually touched Lilith's head. Lilith was somewhat satisfied with the answer and didn't say anything more.

Following the direction of the crowd, Li Yexing led Lilith across the exquisite wooden door and into the hall where the banquet was being held on the ship.

"This is what the upper-class people play with?" Despite being mentally prepared, Li Yexing couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The entire hall was divided into two levels, spacious and bright, with a magnificent golden and red carpet on the floor. Crystal chandeliers hung from the dome, and the edge of the second floor looked like a huge podium. Underneath, a band was playing soothing and elegant music. Waiters were coming and going, placing drinks and freshly baked dishes on the tables at the back.

Many people had already gathered in the hall, forming small circles of three to five people, holding wine glasses, chatting warmly and elegantly. There were also many people standing upstairs, mostly alone, overlooking the entire hall, with various expressions on their faces, some happy, some solemn.

There were also many noble ladies gathered together, laughing like silver bells from time to time. Li Yexing even saw the few people he had seen on the way to pick up his equipment. They did not notice Li Yexing's gaze and were chatting and laughing to themselves.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Lilith asked softly, holding onto Li Yexing's arm.

"Just wait," Li Yexing stretched out his finger and lightly tapped his own ear, indicating Lilith to pay attention to her communicator.

The two of them arrived at the edge of the hall and hid in an inconspicuous corner, quietly watching the people in the hall and listening to the sounds.

"Yexing, let's go..." The bored Lilith gently tugged on Li Yexing's clothes and pointed to the food and drinks on the table, asking, "Can we eat this?"

Li Yexing looked up and realized that everyone in the hall was only drinking, and no one was touching the food. He didn't think it was appropriate for Lilith to go out and gorge herself. A pity he didn't care.

"Go ahead, and bring me some pastries," Li Yexing said. With Li Yexing's permission, the beautiful silver-haired girl, wearing a pristine white dress and high heels, walked shyly towards the dining table.

Just by walking past, she caught the attention of many people. Although the elegant gentlemen didn't show much of a reaction, a few young masters were left dumbfounded. Although they tried to pretend like they didn't care, their eyes couldn't help but glance over.

The beautiful girl walked up to the table with a cold and indifferent expression. She reached into her white bag with her fingers and pulled out a tissue. She elegantly folded the tissue and placed it on her hand, without even glancing at the dishes and utensils on the table. She grabbed a turkey leg from the plate, tore it off the bone, and took a big bite, oil shining on her pink lips. The sound of the turkey bone cracking seemed to scream in the girl's mouth.

The young masters were stunned, and even the old gentlemen next to them couldn't help but frown and wonder who this foolish girl was. Watching their expressions, Li Yexing, who was hiding in the back, couldn't help but laugh.

After finishing the two turkey legs, bones, and all, the girl ate some fruit and picked up the plate of coffee-colored pastries next to her before turning and leaving. She even grabbed a glass of wine on her way out, leaving only the lonely turkey legs on the plate.

Ignoring the messy gazes behind her, Lilith headed straight back to Li Yexing's side. She handed him the wine glass first, and when he went to take the plate of delicate pastries from her hands, she shook her head. With her pure white hands, the girl gently picked up a pastry and brought it to Li Yexing's open mouth.

"Ah—" Li Yexing obediently opened his mouth, and Lilith placed the pastry in it. When she was about to retract her hand, Li Yexing didn't forget to suck Lilith's fingers clean.

The pastry looked so white, no, her fingers tasted so sweet. The pastry was delicate, but if you asked Li Yexing what he thought after eating it, he could only say two words, delicious. He couldn't tell any difference between this pastry and the eight-yuan chocolate cake sold at the cake shop downstairs in his past life.

After eating the pastry that Lilith had fed him, Li Yexing took another sip of his wine. He gulped down a whole glass of unnamed wine like he was drinking Niulan Mountain spring water. After drinking it, Li Yexing's expression became a bit strange, and he smacked his lips.

'Really fucking awful'

Li Yexing could feel the nearby gazes focusing on them. Obviously, Li Yexing and Lilith's actions greatly shocked the upper-class people present, especially the noble ladies and gentlemen. They were simply writing their surprise on their faces. Having been in contact with the elite class since childhood and receiving strict family education, they obviously had never seen such wild behavior before.

It's just like the mongrel dogs that their parents talk about. Li Yexing didn't care at all about the people's gaze, anyway, he was being himself, why care about their thought?

'This is how I am. What can you do about it? Don't like it? Come and fight me,' he thought. The wickedness that had been hidden inside him suddenly emerged on his face.

He hugged Lilith's waist and reached into her small handbag, pulled out a tissue, and gently wiped her mouth. He looked just like the mountain king and his wife. The young gentlemen next to him looked horrified. In their eyes, the goddess who looked almost perfect was now being held by a man who was neither elegant nor gentlemanly.

Although the two of them seemed to have an unusual relationship, how could they tolerate such a flower being stuck in manure? The young gentlemen looked at each other, and finally, a blond and cool guy stood up.

Li Yexing had observed their little actions very clearly with his peripheral vision. He saw that the handsome and fair-haired guy, who looked about the same age as himself, was walking towards them step by step.

When he reached Li Yexing and Lilith, he showed an elegant and graceful smile and reached out his hand to Li Yexing, saying, "Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Charlie Atwood from England."

"Li Yexing, from China."

As the saying goes, don't bite the hand that feeds you. Li Yexing smiled and shook hands with Mr. Atwood. After receiving Li Yexing's reply, Atwood became even happier, thinking that this guy in front of him didn't seem so difficult to get along with after all.

To be honest, Charlie Atwood was not willing to take the lead in this. Lilith is indeed very beautiful, beautiful like a doll. However, he is not so foolish as to go and flirt with her, after all, for someone like him who is destined to control the entire Atwood family in the future, even the most beautiful woman is just a vase, a follower. He doesn't want to touch the difficult-to-deal-with Asian guy just for a girl. But obviously, his brainless little brothers think otherwise.

In this small circle, his family is considered the most powerful, so he naturally became the leader of this group of young gentlemen. And just now, his brain-damaged little brothers were clamoring for him to take the lead and be a "knight who rescues the princess from the evil dragon's hand."

'These brainless pigs!'

But Charlie Atwood is a person who cares about his face. He can't tell these people who are always looking up to him that he doesn't want to do it. He's afraid his little brothers will think he's weak, so that's why this scene just happened.

Charlie Atwood breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The person opposite didn't seem to dislike him that much, which gave him some confidence.

"Nice to meet you, Li. Actually, I have always wanted to go to China. I heard it's a great place. These years..."

Next, Charlie Atwood bragged for a while, but finally, he got to the topic he wanted to ask.

"Li, I have to say that your companion is really beautiful. I wonder which family's daughter she is?"

Lilith hid behind Li Yexing and whispered in his ear, "This guy's gaze is a bit disgusting..."

"Mr. Atwood..."

Li Yexing smiled and spoke to Charlie Atwood in Chinese,

"Cao ni ma." [TN: Motherf*cker or f*ck your mother].
