In the brightly lit Shangguan Mansion, a birthday party for the youngest daughter was being held in the spacious hall, and celebrities from the business circles and officials and dignitaries from Istanbul State came to congratulate her one after another.

The Shangguan family invested in the military industry hundreds of years ago. In the hands of Shangguan Lingshao, the focus of work has completely shifted from light industry to military production and technology research and development, and the business is booming.

Before the banquet started, at the entrance to the hall, the closed door was suddenly opened by a servant, and the cold wind blew in violently. Shangguan Ling Shao led Li Xingnan into the entrance through the night snow, and the snowflakes fell on his hair and On the cloak, he didn't take off the cloak and hand it to the servant, but took Li Xingnan up the stairs.

In order to investigate the matter, the two had just rushed back from the Ninth Army Battalion.

Arriving at the floor where the bedroom is, Shangguan Ling Shao hesitated when he turned the corner, and glanced at Li Xingnan from the corner of his eye.

"If you don't mind, how about changing clothes in my room later?"

This time of nervousness can't make any mistakes, it's safer for Li Xingnan to change clothes in his room.

Li Xingnan naturally knew what Shangguan Lingshao meant, he nodded and followed Shangguan Lingshao into the master bedroom.

In fact, Li Xingnan was a little nervous, after all, his affection for Shangguan Ling Shao was clearly there, and he couldn't ignore that feeling.

Shangguan Ling Shao saw the two sets of clothes prepared by the servant by the bed, compared them, and handed the slightly smaller one to Li Xingnan who was a little dazed.

"Master Li, here it is."

Li Xingnan frowned when he heard the unfamiliar address, but did not speak.

Shangguan Ling Shao took off his coat, looked at Li Xingnan who was a little cramped, suddenly thought of something, smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'll go to the bathroom to change."

After finishing speaking, before Li Xingnan could answer, he picked up his clothes and stepped into the bathroom at a faster pace.

After closing the bathroom door tightly, Shangguan Ling Shao's nervous mood was relieved a little.

Ever since he confessed in front of everyone that day, Shangguan Lingshao always felt guilty when he saw Li Xingnan again, and the two of them were inexplicably awkward and quiet when they got along.

From the brief contact with Li Xingnan, Shangguan Lingshao had a glimpse of the dark and unclear feelings, sometimes it was the slightly raised corners of his lips when the two were alone, and sometimes it was the slight jealousy when Li Chen was mentioned.

Not to mention Li Xingnan's relentless pheromone when he saw him.

But Shangguan Lingshao also knew clearly that he could not respond to such feelings, he confessed his thoughts from the beginning, and told Li Xingnan not to have any hope.

In front of the full-length mirror, Shangguan Lingshao unbuttoned the openings of his shirt one by one. Under the light, the scars on his warm white skin became clearer, and the family brand was clearly visible on the upper left shoulder.

Branding represents responsibility, but when selfish desires and responsibilities pull each other, Shangguan Lingshao doesn't know how to keep them in balance. He needs time to think, and needs to find Li Chen to discuss this matter.

He raised his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, brushed his fingers over the old wound that had healed, and sighed heavily.

Then he picked up a brand new white shirt and put it on, covering up the frightening scars.

After tidying up the shirt, I added a soft cashmere cardigan over it. Because it was a family banquet, I didn't need to dress so elegantly, so I casually put on a pair of comfortable trousers.

Opening the bathroom door, Shangguan Lingshao raised his head, but his feet froze.

——Li Xingnan's clothes are similar to his own, except that the cashmere cardigan is a little lighter in color, and the pants underneath are more like home clothes.

Looking at it this way, Li Xingnan is more like the host of the banquet here.

"...the clothes..." Li Xingnan, who had been arranging his clothes with downcast eyes, looked at Shangguan Lingshao, and was also startled for a moment, then he smiled naturally, "We really match each other."

"The clothes are prepared by the servants, it should be the meaning of parents."

The implication is that I hope Li Xingnan knows that it is not his intention to pretend to be a couple.

Hearing Shangguan Lingshao's words, the light in Li Xingnan's eyes faded a bit, he nodded with a forced smile, "Yes, also..."

Because he just went to investigate Li Chen's matter, Shangguan Ling Shao is not in the mood to attend any birthday party, and he is not in the mood to pretend to be a married couple to meet the guests. Now he is full of Li Chen's fornication with aliens. .

Li Xingnan saw his worry, walked over and raised his hand, motioning for Shangguan Ling Shao to hold it.

"You treat it as a job and just deal with it."

Shangguan Ling Shao acquiesced to Li Xingnan's words, and dragged Li Xingnan downstairs.

In the center of the hall is a multi-layered cake customized by Shangguan and his wife for their daughter. On the top of the cake is a love heart made of chocolate. The cake is dotted with candies and jams. It looks very popular with children.

Shangguan Zhiwan and her classmates were chatting and laughing around the dessert table. Young girls are a beautiful sight wherever they are, which is pleasing to the eye.

Shangguan Lingshao's suppressed mood improved a lot the moment he saw his sister. He and Li Xingnan came to Shangguan Zhiwan with a glass of champagne. The group of students saw someone coming, so they consciously avoided.

"Brother! Sister-in-law!"

Shangguan Zhiwan jumped into the arms of his eldest brother, his clear and sweet voice attracted many curious eyes.

After hugging her eldest brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she was going to hug Li Xingnan who was beside her.

Li Xingnan's face turned red, he was a little embarrassed, but he still accepted the hug graciously.

"Brother, why are you here so late? The second and third brothers said you were not coming, which made me quarrel with them..." Shangguan Zhiwan shook Shangguan Lingshao's arm, pouted and complained.

Shangguan Ling Shao rubbed his sister's curly hair, and said softly, "Then who won in the end?"

"With big brother here, of course I won!" Zhiwan raised her head proudly, her words were full of pride.

As long as Shangguan Ling Shao is at home, the other two brothers are the bottom of the family, and they will definitely not be able to win against her.

Zhiwan hooked her fingers, Shangguan Ling Shao obediently bent over to listen to her whisper, Li Xingnan looked sideways at this scene, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.

In Li's house, such a scene would never happen.

All the children were afraid of Li Beihai, including Li Xingnan himself, but he was a well-behaved and sensible child since he was a child, and he could only obey Li Beihai.

In his eyes, Shangguan Lingshao's smile overlapped with Li Chen's, and he suddenly realized that when Shangguan Lingshao was with him, he never laughed sincerely.

The same is true for Li Chen.

Li Xingnan's body swayed, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth - it seemed that everyone treated himself with a mask.

He took a step back, ready to turn around and put the wine glass back on the table, but the moment he turned around, he collided with the people passing by him.

Li Xingnan was staggered by the bump, he let out a cry, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and all the wine in the man's glass spilled on him.

The pale yellow liquid quickly smudged on light-colored clothes, leaving large stains.

The man hurriedly stood firm and supported Li Xingnan, while frantically taking out a handkerchief to help him wipe the wine stains, he apologized incoherently.

"...I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean it, I'm really sorry..."

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the "farce" here, and everyone looked at Li Xingnan and the boy who bent over to apologize.

Even Shangguan Lingshao and Shangguan Zhiwan stopped their cordial conversation and looked sideways.

Li Xingnan looked at the boy who kept wiping his body with a handkerchief like wiping a vase, and smiled softly, "I'm fine, you don't have to be so nervous."

The boy was wearing a neat suit, his blond hair was combed back, he was straight, and he looked like a domineering president, but seeing the way he was bending over to wipe his clothes, Li Xingnan thought he was very interesting.

The boy might be attracted by Li Xingnan's gentleness, he was startled, he only raised his head and glanced at Li Xingnan hastily, his face and ears turned red, and he didn't dare to look up again.

Shangguan Ling Shao came over at this moment, patted the boy on the shoulder, and asked tentatively, "Arthur?"

The big boy whose name was called raised his head, touched his nose with his hands at a loss, and smiled reluctantly, "Ling, Brother Ling..."

"I thought you were training on another planet. Zhiwan's birthday party can't come this time. I didn't expect you to rush back." Shangguan Lingshao suddenly remembered something, held Li Xingnan's hand, and said to the boy, "Introduction For a moment, this is my fiancé, Li Xingnan, from now on, just call him brother Xingnan."

Arthur opened his eyes exaggeratedly, full of surprise, "...Brother Ling, are you getting married?"

"Well, engagement next week."

Shangguan Lingshao felt his fingers being squeezed slightly, and quickly changed the subject.

"Arthur, the banquet is about to start. I'll take Xingnan upstairs to change clothes. You can do it yourself."

Arthur scratched his head in embarrassment, apologized to Li Xingnan again, then turned and walked into the banquet crowd.

Li Xingnan's cashmere cardigan, which had been soaked with alcohol, fell down. It was very uncomfortable to wear, but if he didn't wear it, the wet white shirt inside was a bit see through, and the skin on Li Xingnan's chest was clearly visible.

Shangguan Ling Shao sighed, took Li Xingnan's hand to a hidden corner, and motioned him to take off the wet cashmere cardigan.

Afterwards, he handed his clothes to Li Xingnan, "Put on my coat first, and throw away the wet one."

Li Xingnan took Shangguan Lingshao's coat as good as he could, and put it on.

"Well," Shangguan Ling Shao leaned over and pulled Li Xingnan into the shadows, "Father and the others are preparing for the banquet, he asked us to go there early, I will send you to the lounge next to the living room to change your clothes, you change well After that, just come directly to the living room."

Only then did Li Xingnan know that Shangguan Ling Shao had arranged everything.

Within a few minutes after his clothes were spilled, he told the servants to send the clean clothes to the lounge.

It's such a thoughtful, comprehensive person who doesn't like himself.

Li Xingnan didn't dare to let Shangguan Ling Shao see the jealousy in his eyes, he turned his eyes away and nodded.

I have time to give my brother a little attack, I think the little milk dog next year is not bad]
