In a few words, Ye Xiyuan made Li Deze, who was standing opposite her, go deathly pale. Although he had probably guessed the result, his heart still wrenched when he faced reality.

The people around them heaved a sigh of relief.

Nangong Xuyao slowly let go of Ye Xiyuan’s hand, not even glancing at Li Deze. Because, in his eyes, Li Deze was not even an opponent.

Nangong Yuyao’s contempt made Li Deze shattered. He could not help but reveal a bitter smile. He had always regarded Nangong Xuyao as a rival in love, but it turned out that in Nangong Xuyao’s eyes, he was nobody. Yes, as a behemoth, the Nangong family thought nothing of him!

Ye Xiyuan acted as if she didn’t notice anything and gave her hand to Li Deze.

Although Li Deze had already confirmed that Ye Xiyuan didn’t like him, he still wanted to ask her to dance. To him, this was perhaps the best memory.

The two of them slowly slid onto the dance floor and blended in with the crowd. The banquet hall was again filled with a mood of joy.

Not far away, Qian Gumeng felt very sorry for Li Deze when seeing the dejected look on his face. When she saw him dancing with Ye Xiyuan, there was a glint of envy in her eyes, and she was overwhelmed by very complicated emotions.

“Xiyuan, do you like Young Master Nangong?” Li Deze looked at Ye Xiyuan in his arms and could not help but ask.

At this point, even if he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to ask. It seemed that only by doing so could he completely drop the idea forever.

“Brother Deze, why did you suddenly ask this question?” Ye Xiyuan blinked her eyes and a flicker of confusion across her face. “We’re just good friends.”

Ye Xiyuan’s reply gave him renewed hope. He took a deep breath and coordinated with the dance steps while summoning up his emotions. After a while, he said, “Xiyuan, if I tell you that I like…”

“Brother Deze!”

Before Li Deze could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Xiyuan. She continued, “Brother Deze, I’m very happy that you attended my birthday party today. You’ve always been like my brother, protecting me. Thank you very much. I hope that you can keep taking care of and protecting me like a brother in the future, and I will treat you well like your sister.”

Her words directly shattered all of Li Deze’s hopes. Looking sad, he had completely given up. However, he couldn’t let go of Ye Xiyuan no matter what.

That was the first time he had liked someone so much, but his feelings now came to nothing.

Looking at Li Deze’s expression, Ye Xiyuan wasn’t in a hurry to get any response from him. No one noticed that there was a flicker of pride in her eyes.

Li Deze was not among her options under consideration at all given his wealth. However, even so, she still wanted to be the protagonist of his unrequited love. She wanted him to never forget her and be used by her.

When the song was about to end, Li Deze stared deep into Ye Xiyuan and suppressed the emotions in his heart. He said hoarsely, “Xiyuan, I’m your brother. If you have any problems in the future, tell me. I’ll definitely do my best to help you.”

Although she had already expected this result, Ye Xiyuan still pretended to be pleasantly surprised. At the same time, her eyes were filled with gratitude. “Brother Deze, you’re really too kind. I believe that you will definitely meet someone who is most suitable for you.”

Looking at the smile on Ye Xiyuan’s face, Li Deze felt that everything he was doing now was worth it.

After the dance, Ye Xiyuan returned to her parents.

At the present moment, it seemed that she had a good time with Li Deze, and the awkwardness was totally gone.

Ye Li felt even more satisfied with his daughter. He had thought that their long friendship with the Li family would be ruined by what happened today.

However, after just a dance, everything changed.

“Wanqin.” Pang Tingting walked toward the Ye family in her formal evening gown. “I’m sorry I was late. I had something to deal with at the last minute.”

After that, she took out a box and handed it to Ye Xiyuan. She then said with a smile, “Happy birthday. Hope you will like it..”
