Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 131: Love Doesn't Need to Be Expressed

I and Jace came to the venue of the dinner, Gilaman, which was the dinner held at Caitlin's house.

Although Mel and Jace have become the two generations of the richest people in Piltover, the wealth of the Gilaman family cannot be underestimated. Especially since the Gilaman family has a history of a hundred years in Piltover and is an old noble family. Therefore, some things can be compensated by more than just money.

Jace and Mel are too young, and their future is immeasurable. Their wealth will increase, but their connections and qualifications will increase slowly over time.

"How is it? My house is big enough, right? But Caitlin's house is more spectacular. I remember when I first came to her house as a child, I was shocked by her house."

"The layout of the garden alone is richer than the entire Tallis family." Jace showed emotion, hugged Li Ke, and said to Li Ke with a smile: "If you need it, I can help you buy a house, and you can move to the upper city."

Jace looked like a local tycoon, with a hint of pride in his eyes as he said this.

Although he has a beard and looks middle-aged, Jace is actually still in his youth. He is only five or six years older than Li Ke.

"It is very big, but I don't like it." Li Ke shook his head and rejected Jace's kindness.

He looked at Jace and said with a smile, "I still prefer my home in Bottom City. These places are too spacious and I can't get used to them."

Jace was stunned for a moment, then smiled and didn't force it. He and Li Ke walked into the banquet hall arm in arm.

The servants of the Giraman family did not stop him, because Jayce had often visited the Giraman family before he created Hextech, not to mention that he is now the richest and most distinguished man in Piltover, so these servants certainly have the foresight to do so.

They might not know Li Ke, but the person who was arm in arm with Jace was not someone they could approach to check the invitation letter.

When we entered the room, many people had already arrived. The hall on the first floor was very empty, with a few people in gorgeous clothes chatting. Soothing music was playing in the hall, which, in the words of Zaun people, was high-class music.

The appearance of Li Ke and Jess also attracted the attention of everyone present.

The group of people looked at Li Ke, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

At this moment, Li Ke was wearing a light gray uniform and expensive black leather shoes. His hair was pulled back with hair wax, revealing his full forehead.

After styling his hair and changing his hairstyle, Li Ke looked very energetic. In fact, Li Ke's appearance was not that handsome. Just looking at his facial features, Jace next to him could overshadow Li Ke, even though Jace had a big beard.

Li Ke can't beat Jayce in terms of looks alone, let alone Vi. To be honest, Vi's facial features are really the most delicate ones Li Ke has ever seen.

When watching Twin Cities for the first time, Li Ke felt that Wei was the modeler's biological daughter, because her facial features were so delicate, her face was small and beautiful, her nose and lips were heroic, but her eyes were soft and feminine.

To be honest, if Wei put on men's clothes and dressed cool and handsome, then the male compatriots would really have no chance to play in today's dinner.

But there is one thing about Li Ke that even Wang Wei from Shuangcheng cannot compare to: his delicate facial features.

That is the eyes. Li Ke's eyes have changed a lot in the past two years. Now, it is not an exaggeration to describe his eyes as pretty, beautiful and treasure.

This is because the charm that Ahri gave to Li Ke slowly changed Li Ke's image, and his eyes have moved towards Ahri.

Li Ke's Ionian appearance and thin body make him look gentle, elegant, and refined. With a pair of eyes like this, it's hard to imagine how lethal he is.

As a result, someone came to chat with me immediately.

"This must be the Lord of Zaun, Mr. Li Ke, right?"

"Nice to meet you, Councilman Li Ke. I'm Tucker, the second son of the Laneman family."

"Good evening, Councillor Li Ke."

A group of people came towards Li Ke and Jace and greeted them enthusiastically.

Of course I have to come up. The two people in front of me are the people with the highest status in the two cities!
Li Ke also responded one by one. Of course, Li Ke would not put on a bad face to those who came with good intentions. Instead, he chatted with each of them with a smile on his face.

It was not until Jace on the side began to get a little impatient and looked sour that this group of guys took the initiative to say that they would not disturb Li Ke and Jace, and then left.

"Jace, why do they look so scared of you?" Seeing this, Li Ke asked Jace curiously as he and Jace walked towards the second floor.

"Oh, that bunch deserves to be scolded." Jace rolled his eyes, took two glasses of champagne from the waiter holding the tray next to him, handed one to Li Ke, took one himself and drank it in big gulps, then said:
"Li Ke, unless you really have business to discuss with them, don't be nice to them."

"These guys will pester you if you treat them well. Anyway, I am very annoyed by them. They are busy with business 365 days a year. I really don't know what they are doing with all the money they earn."

"Isn't it enough to have enough wealth?" Jace muttered.

Li Ke was drinking champagne and was a little speechless after hearing what Jace said.

Damn, is this Versailles?

Of course you, Jace, don’t care about wealth. You are already the richest man, so what else do you care about?
He and Jace found a place to rest on the second floor. They chatted and drank. Li Ke squinted his eyes and listened to the soothing music beside him, watching the sky gradually darken.

After a while, Mel came up and called Jace away, accompanied by Congressman Gilaman. Mel asked Li Ke if he wanted to go. Li Ke thought about it and shook his head.

Judging from the time, the people from Zaan will arrive soon, and Li Ke is going to receive them.

Mel didn't force it and left with Jace.

Li Ke sat alone at a table next to the railing on the second floor, quietly drinking wine and savoring snacks.

The food for the dinner has been served one by one. The first ones to be served were some exquisite pastries. There were several types that Li Ke thought looked like macarons. He ate one and found it very delicious.

So, Li Ke thought that Jinx and Isa would definitely like to eat this thing, so he put some more on his plate and planned to eat it with Jinx later when she arrived.

Then, the hot dishes were served. There was a heating device underneath to maintain the temperature of the dishes during the dinner. Li Ke took a look and selected a few that he had never eaten before.

Those who can attend the dinner tonight are all rich or noble people in the two cities, especially Mrs. Piltover. In their perception, the food at the dinner is often just a decoration, an occasion for the entertaining family to show off their muscles.

The "dignity" of the nobility does not allow them to eat as much as they want like starving ghosts. If other families saw this, they would think that family xx was poor and had never eaten.

It's a very embarrassing thing.

Therefore, Li Ke, who was wearing a gorgeous uniform and had an excellent temperament, but always looked down in front of each food and then picked up a lot of food with a clip, was very conspicuous.

"Who is that?"

"It seems to be the Lord of Zaun, Councillor Li Ke."

"Is he so young?"

"Before I came, my mother told me to go up and say hello to him. Should I go over?"

"Is he still single?"

Li Ke returned to his seat and moved his ears. He heard the noises and felt strange. Didn't Mel warn them?
Then, Li Ke looked in the direction of the sound.

Over there, I saw a group of girls from Piltover.

There was a girl among them who caught Li Keduo's attention because her hair color was shockingly pink.

Li Ke raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by the other party's appearance, and then he looked away.

It's hot and sour noodles.
The girl with amazing pink hair, wearing a white princess dress, sitting silently next to a group of girls is Seraphine.

But how did she end up here? Wait, it doesn't seem strange that she's here. Although Seraphine's parents are from Zaun, they relied on their talent and hard work to allow Seraphine to be born in Piltover and study at the University of Piltover. It's just that Seraphine didn't go because of her own reasons.

From this we can see that Seraphine's family is not short of money.

Li Ke remembered that her family seemed to run a store selling audio equipment and various musical instruments in Piltover, and also opened several factories in Piltover, employing many Zaun people as workers. In other words, Seraphine's father had helped many Zaun people.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Seraphine would appear here, as her family is after all a small noble family.

The singer is from the upper city.

"Ah, he's looking here!"

"Who was he looking at just now? Was he looking at you, Karina? I think he must be looking at you, you are the most beautiful girl among us!"

"Really? I also feel that he is looking at me. What do you think? Should I go up and say hello to him?" The girl with red hair who looked underage blushed.

This girl named Karina was indeed very pretty, with a small face the size of a palm, a fair oval face, and curly red hair that lay charmingly against her cheeks.

However, this big curly hair on her tender and green face makes her look like a child pretending to be an adult?
"Hi, Councillor Li Ke, are you here alone? My name is Karina, and I'm a relative of the Jiraman family. Nice to meet you~"

Encouraged by her little sisters, Karina plucked up the courage to come forward and greet Li Ke.

Li Ke turned his head and saw Karina and a group of girls surrounding him, including Seraphine.

Li Ke smiled and said gently, "No, I came here with someone, but the person I'm waiting for hasn't arrived yet."

"Is it Councillor Tallis?"

"It's not him, it's someone from Zaun."

Seraphine raised her head and glanced at Li Ke secretly.

After hearing what Li Ke said, Karina hesitated for a moment, and then the little girl mustered up the courage to say, "Then, when we dance at the dinner party later, do you have a dance partner? Can I invite you?"

"Sorry, Karina, I have a dance partner, the one I'm waiting for." Li Ke replied.

Li Ke would not drive away these girls with a cold face. After all, he was not that narcissistic. They came up just to say hello to Li Ke and came with good intentions. They did not really want anything to happen between him and Li Ke.

If Li Ke refused with a cold face and scolded the other party, what would he be doing?

After hearing what Li Ke said, Karina's lips moved, as if she felt a little embarrassed. The little girl was shy, so she lowered her head and was about to say "sorry for disturbing you", but Li Ke took the initiative to say:

"By the way, Karina, what kind of dances do you usually perform at your Piltover dinner parties?"

He continued, "My wife and I are both from Zaun and we are not very good at dancing, so we are a little worried about this matter."

"Ah! Councillor Li Ke, are you married already?" Karina covered her mouth with her hand and said excitedly, "You got married so early?"

"My wife and I are childhood sweethearts. We have known each other since we were very young," Li Kehe told her.

Karina and her little sisters jumped for joy and chattered:
"You and your wife are childhood sweethearts? That's great!"

"Well, Senator Li Ke, usually at the dinner in Piltover, everyone dances ballroom dancing, with soothing music playing, and then they walk around on the dance floor hugging each other?"

"Member Li Ke, I have learned these dances since I was a child. It is actually very simple. You just need to hold your wife's hand, put your other hand around her waist, and pace back and forth on the dance floor."

"Anyway, there will be a lot of people dancing together, and no one will pay special attention to you."

Karina and her little sisters began to give Li Ke advice.

And Li Ke agreed with a smile.

The group of little girls came quickly and left quickly. They said goodbye to Li Ke chatteringly and then returned to their seats.

But Li Ke heard a very soft murmur.

"Liar." Seraphine said in a low voice with her head down.

When Li Ke heard Seraphine's voice, he was stunned, then he smiled.

Yes, Seraphine has the ability to hear the voice deep in people's hearts, and Li Ke had indeed lied to Karina and the others just now.

After all, he and Jinx weren't married yet.

Just then, there was suddenly some noise below.

Li Ke looked up and saw a group of people entering the dinner party.

The guy in the lead was wearing an oversized suit and had a pair of terrifying claws. What was even more disturbing was that a lot of gray-black hair protruded next to his oversized black pants.

The Zaun people are coming.

Vandel led the way, followed by Hilco, and beside them were a group of Zaun councillors.

My father-in-law was wearing the same outfit today as before, his signature vest and jacket, holding a scepter, his hair combed back meticulously, but he had a pair of black gloves on his hands, and he walked in calmly.

Li Ke looked back and saw Wei and Caitlyn following in. Don't worry about why Caitlyn came with the Zaun people.
Anyway, they came together.

Wei was wearing men's clothes, which looked a bit like a servant's uniform. A fake red rose was pinned on the left chest of the white clothes. Combined with Wei's fiery red hair combed back and the ruffian expression on her face, she had a unique charm. Li Ke looked at her and felt that Wei's image was a bit like the one in the Butler series of skins?
Beside her, Caitlin was wearing a blue dress and high heels, which made her almost a head and a half taller than Vi. Caitlin took off her hat and followed Vi with a smile on her face.

Behind Vi and Caitlyn followed a blue-haired girl with her hands behind her back.

He walked into the scene with long legs and a mischievous expression on his face.

Her fair little face was simply painted with lipstick, and she wore a denim jacket made of hard fabric on the outside and a beautiful white long skirt inside. Li Ke was very familiar with the skirt because it was a birthday gift from Li Ke to her.

Under the skirt, there was a pair of black short boots, and on her shaking wrist was a very ordinary silver bracelet. Her smart eyes scanned the place, and then, it seemed that she didn't find the person she was looking for, so she looked towards the second floor.

Then, with bright eyes and white teeth, she smiled.

"Hey, Li Ke~"

She raised her hands behind her back and jumped up, waving at Li Ke on the second floor.

Although she was dressed nicely and looked cute, her movements were still childish.

"Come up quickly, Jinx." Li Ke stood up, held the railing, and shouted loudly towards the bottom of the building.

His behavior was seen by Karina and other girls. The girls looked up curiously, and then they knew who Congressman Li Ke's wife was.

If you like someone, there is no need to say it, because the eyes won’t lie.

In this lively dinner tonight, there are many beautiful women, wearing red dresses, black dresses, white dresses, and all kinds of gorgeous dresses, but Congressman Li Ke's eyes are all on her.
