At the end of the corridor is a huge exhibition hall. The first thing you see is the dance floor in the middle of the hall. Golden curtains are gently hung around the dance floor, and soft silk rolls up dangerous and charming curves above the candlelight.

It is finally time for the gorgeous etiquette groups from various countries to show their style. Behind those golden curtains, graceful figures are looming. Performers from Sargon to Rem Billiton are eager to try. Colorful lights wander on their smooth skin, and their thin gauze skirts reveal their slim figures.

Surrounding the central dance floor are wine tables for sitting on the ground. They are the traditional long tables of the Yan country. The nearest long table is almost touching the stage. One can touch the curtains on the edge of the dance floor with one's hand. I guess this is also a little idea of ​​Longmen.

Outside three or four rows of long tables, surrounding the entire venue is a very shallow pond. The roof of the pond is hollow, and some branches of magnolia trees hang down softly. Three or four leaves fall on the surface of the pond, and fish swim under the fallen leaves, adding a bit of elegance and poetry unique to the ancient Yan State.

Su Qi did not sit with Rhodes Island, so naturally he could not enjoy the treatment of being able to touch the stage with his hands. He and Tallulah sat on the side of the Victoria delegation. Correspondingly, the field of vision was relatively wide, and it was a good position to have a general view.

Tallulah beside her was wearing a light and elegant long dress with an exquisite Londinium red ribbon tied around her waist. The woman had no extra jewelry on her head, but instead a long golden hairpin inlaid with jade. Tallulah's whole body was well-groomed and a little bit feminine, looking like a rich girl who had just taken over the family business.

This is exactly the Tallulah Su Qi wants to see.

Su Qi looked at the bun and thought that he seemed to have given a hairpin to Niyan before. He wondered if Niyan had come to Longmen this time.

Tallulah noticed Su Qi's gaze and swallowed slightly. She felt a little nervous, but there was even a glimmer of hope in her heart that had been rekindled.

"What's wrong?" Tallulah asked him. She had been silent since Su Qi and Xidejia separated. She didn't even look at the exquisite corridor designs and seemed to be in a bad mood.

Talulah didn't know much about Su Qi and Kong Xian. She thought it was just some trivial matters within their Rhodes Island. Besides, it was impossible for someone like Dr. Su Qi to not have some gossip when placed in a nest of women like Rhodes Island.

In the eyes of others, the breakup scene just now was just Su Qi rejecting the advances of a woman next to him. It was far less intriguing than the rumor that "Dr. Rhodes Island failed to confess his love 56 times".

"You look better than usual." Facing the question from the head of Integrated International, Su Qi simply praised sincerely.

Looking at the handsome eyes of the big boy beside her, his eyes could calm people's hearts even in such occasions. Tallulah was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't help but smile slightly on her cold and pretty face: "I didn't dress up deliberately, I just put in a little effort."

Su Qi was not in a good mood to chat. Tallulah resisted the urge to strike up a conversation with the man. She secretly looked at Su Qi's clear profile in the reflection of the warm surface of the teacup on the table, thinking that this guy was just making a casual compliment.

Theresa, who was sitting next to him, gently tugged at the corner of Su Qi's clothes. The pink-haired woman was still worried about Su Qi's condition. She was not like Tallulah, a little girl who only knew how to watch from afar. As his "ex-wife", Theresa could distinguish all his emotions.

“I’m not happy.”

"Why are you not happy? It's so lively."

It was really lively. The banquet was slowly becoming lively. Everyone knew each other, and it was rare to meet so many people of similar status. Everyone was sitting in groups of three or four at their respective long tables, and the atmosphere was slowly becoming heated.

The seriousness of the conversation at the negotiation table just now was gone, and everyone's smiles at the banquet were much more sincere. Wei Yanwu met a few good friends, and Madam Wen Yue and several other ladies also sat together. At the Ursus table, the sound of wine glasses clinking could be heard before the dishes were served. The younger generations also put aside their serious faces at the meeting and huddled together in small circles.

The table on the Rhodes Island side was even more lively. Before the meeting even started, quite a few people had already come over to visit. They were basically followers and vassals of various forces, all eager to make themselves known to the big shots of Rhodes Island.

Su Qi quietly watched this harmonious scene. Who could have imagined that all the people sitting here could represent their respective countries? This kind of gathering, which had never happened in the whole Terra, was happening right before his eyes.

Theresa looked at Su Qi's expression. The whole place was lively except for him, which was quiet.

"No one dares to come over to you because they see you're in a bad mood," Theresa said softly. "But they're all secretly watching you."

The moon was above the branches of magnolia trees, and the performances and banquets at the banquet hall had slowly begun. Wine was added, lights were turned on, music instruments were hung, and incense was burned. First, the local dancers from Longmen came out with their music instruments. Su Qi ignored the glances cast by the people from all directions at the banquet and waited silently for the dishes to be served.

He was actually just a little hungry because he had just finished having sex with the cat.

"Why haven't the dishes been served yet?" Su Qi muttered in a low voice.

His voice was very low, but the entire Egret Mansion heard it.

Ling smiled and looked at his sister who suddenly frowned, and teased: "I heard that he likes to eat hot pot with you. Is the focus on the hot pot, not you?"

Nian glanced coldly at his sister, feeling annoyed that Longmen invited him to dinner but didn't serve him the appetizer of cold-mixed black fungus.

Shining once again suppressed the urge to get up and sit next to Su Qi. The white-haired woman's calm expression concealed anxiety. In Rhodes Island, Dr. Su Qi's diet would never be neglected, and Shining was the first person responsible for his health and safety. As his sister, when had Su Qi ever cried out that he was hungry beside her? He had never suffered the grievance of waiting for others to serve his food.

"Why don't we ask the Doctor out for a midnight snack later? This kind of feast is not to his liking, and he will definitely not eat much later." Lan Du thought silently, what reason should I use to ask the Doctor out, this is a problem.

Kal'tsit looked up at Wei Yanwu who was in high spirits, then looked at Madam Wen Yue who was chatting happily next to her, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

A clear female voice rang out over half of the banquet, and Amiya interrupted her conversation with the President of Colombia, "Mr. Wei Yanwu, please serve the food to everyone."

"It has been brought up." Wei Yanwu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Just a moment after someone muttered in a low voice, the eyes of everyone in the hall instantly pricked him like a hedgehog. It was too horrible. Comrade Xiao Su, is this the Shura field you have to go through every day?

Theresa smiled gently, "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, I'm starving." Su Qi didn't pay any attention to what was happening on the court.

Wei Yanwu thought to himself, please stop talking, those guys in your family are going to kill me with their eyes.

"Didn't you eat anything? You and Rosalina stayed in the house for the whole afternoon and didn't eat anything?" Theresa raised her eyebrows.

"No time to eat." Su Qi touched his lips, thinking that Roselantha did eat something by the way.

Amiya finally slapped the table and said with a smile: "Wei Yanwu! Who are you going to starve to death?"

Daily py, a book friend: "I want all equivalent transactions"

Chapter 22: Flirtatious Girl and Protective Sister

Small fish and shrimps, stir-fried mini peppers, and garlic sprouts in mashed garlic were all his favorite dishes on the table, but since it was a large banquet, it was still a bit noisy and he wouldn't like it.

Longmen had studied his preferences and knew that he loved Yan Country's Hunan cuisine, but his taste was light, so the dishes on his table were particularly special. Nian glanced at Tallulah who was sitting next to him, seeing the white-haired woman frowning and looking strange, and thought that this woman couldn't eat spicy food, so he quickly got out of the way.

He eats fast, swallowing his food without chewing it a few times. He said it was a habit he developed when he was little with his parents. Eating is like he is in a hurry to go to the theater. After coming to Rhodes Island and being trained by the Medical Department, he chews his food a few more times, but still eats fast. Perhaps it is because he is good-looking enough that it does not affect his elegance.

"Nian, stop looking and pay attention to your image." Xi gently pulled the corner of her dazed sister's clothes under the table, thinking that no matter how crazy a girl is, she still has to pay attention to her image in such occasions. How can she look so stupid at a banquet that showcases the image of a country?

Yes, even though she has white hair, white skin, and a captivating rosy red in the corners of her eyes, but the infatuated look on her face with a lonely and expectant expression, in Xi's opinion, is not that just a lovesick maniac.

"Nosy." Nian gently slapped his sister's hand away, feeling a little uncomfortable after being exposed. Nian thought that at least half, if not two-thirds of the people at the banquet were secretly looking at him. He just had to be more generous, so she didn't need to pay attention to her image.

Nian ignored the teasing looks from Xi and Ling, pretended to eat a few mouthfuls of food, and secretly glanced at where that person was sitting.

Su Qi sat at Victoria's table. Because of Theresa and Reed, Victoria's closeness to Rhodes Island was only slightly inferior to Yan Country and Kazdel in all of Terra, but the seat assigned to it was still a little far away from the central circle of Rhodes Island-Lungmen. Su Qi sitting here surprised many people.

In fact, during the conversation just now, Su Qi sat next to Victoria. Many people speculated that Su Qi sat separately from Rhodes Island in order to save face for Integrated International. But now that the banquet has begun, Dr. Rhodes Island still has no intention of returning to his seat on Rhodes Island's side, which makes many people puzzled and confused.

In addition, with the incident between Xi Dejia and Dr. Su Qi just now, even the most talkative politician would not dare to talk to Su Qi rashly and offend him due to suspicion and worry. This made it rare for Su Qi to have a quiet dinner at such a large banquet.

He enjoyed the meal. Longmen really spent a lot of money this time. Su Qi even wanted to pack some dishes to take back for Rosalina to try.

Of course Su Qi knew that as long as he said a word, not to mention the dishes on the table, Wei Yanwu could even send a group of chefs to stay at his place permanently, and by the way, send his niece Chen Huijie over, and call her the little cook.

However, the habits formed in his youth were still deeply rooted in his bones. When he encountered something delicious, Su Qi's first reaction was to pack some up and take some back for his family to try. So he turned his head and asked Theresa if he could go to the kitchen to bring some dishes to Rosalindha later.

"The food here is good. Can you ask the kitchen to make an extra portion for me? I want to bring it back to Rose."

The pink-haired beauty turned sideways and listened to him gently. A rare hint of self-blame appeared on her face, which was always gentle and kind despite being impervious to feng shui. Theresa believed that she had cultivated her mind well enough, and she had experienced the future of her fellow countrymen and the life and death of half of Terra, but she still lost her mind at his casual words.

'Teresia, I just had this amazing grilled stone head shank in Bolivar. I thought you like this sweet and sour taste, so I quickly brought it to you. Well, it's okay, it won't be tiring on the way.'

The boy is still the same boy, but he has become more introverted. He still sits next to her, and he looks at her with clear eyes, asking her if he can please another girl.

"If you ask, Longmen will certainly not refuse, but it will be a little troublesome." Theresa replied insincerely. She pointed to the delicious soup on the table and said softly, "Longmen certainly put in a lot of effort this time, but this soup is still not as good as the one you cooked all the way from Bolivar to bring me last time. I like your soup and I have never forgotten it all these years."

"I have also been treated well by you before. When you pursued me, I remembered everything for many years and never forgot it."

"It's just soup. I'll make it for you later. Don't worry about it." Su Qi shook his head.

"I pursued you before, but that's the past. I will treat you well in the future and it won't change. Don't think about the past anymore."

Nian was peeking at him not far away, and he could hardly hide the sneer in his heart. He thought, Theresa, I thought you were very capable, but aren't you still the same shameless person who sticks to him and waits for him to change his mind?

Unable to hold back any longer, Nian looked up at Ling. Ling blinked, threw the wine jug to Nian, smiled at Nian intimately, and made an encouraging gesture.

Only those who lack confidence would only attack indirectly. Someone like Nian, who was just one step away from success, would not play those superficial tricks. Nian filled two glasses of wine from the wine jug, stood up and prepared to walk towards Su Qi.

Nian was his unfinished love, a progress bar that was stopped at 99%. Nian was never the kind of pretentious girl. She would take the initiative when she should. Even if Su Qi didn't want to talk to her, wasn't it normal to toast her at the banquet?

Shining, who had not eaten much and was in a bad mood, narrowed his eyes and watched Xi Hong walk up to him. Shining looked at the two glasses of wine in Nian's hands, then turned back to look at Ling's smiling eyes, and immediately understood what was going on, and was anxious to death.

Su Qi's alcohol tolerance is pretty good, but how can he resist the specialty brewed by Ling, the drunkard? This time, Ling really took the initiative to help his sister.

At this time, Su Qi was also looking at the uninvited guest who was walking in front of him with a wine glass in some silence. At this time, the dance floor of the banquet was performing the Colombian Bunny Girls. Each girl was a beauty carefully selected from Colombia. They were dressed revealingly and sexy, but none of them could compare to the blush in the corners of the eyes of the woman in front of him.

"I want to drink with you." Nian placed the glass in front of him.

Su Qi looked at the redness under Nian's eyes and knew that she was holding back her emotions. He was too lazy to try to persuade her and reached out to hold the wine glass without refusing.

But someone refused it for him.

Shining had sat next to him at some point and slapped away his hand that was holding the wine glass.

"What's the point of drinking alcohol for a kid? Stay away from these bad people. How dare you drink other people's alcohol?" Shining said fiercely.

"Your sister is really nosy." Nian smiled and was not angry.

"You are a good drinker? You want me to drink with you?" Shining also smiled.

Nian said nothing, raised his hand contemptuously, and drank the glass.

Chapter 23: Amiya's Sacrifice

"I wish I could be the person you're afraid of losing." Amiya once asked him this while holding her cheek, her eyes glued to his slightly thin lips, refusing to leave him for a moment.

"You are all the people I am afraid of losing." He looked up from his work and smiled at Amiya. "Each of you is someone I cannot lose."

Amiya didn't get the answer she wanted that year, but she was still happy.

Now Amiya looked at the two women sitting next to him and felt amused. Now that the two people you were afraid of losing were fighting, what would you choose?

Sitting opposite Amiya is a middle-aged Colombian woman with a strong aura. She is also the first female president in Colombia's history. Among the many achievements that helped this female president win the election, her active cooperation with Operation Rhodes Island has become a huge plus for her to gain public support.

The banquet at the Longmen Talks can certainly be used to chat about gossip, but its more important purpose is to provide a place for various bigwigs to get to know each other and test each other. In this luxurious and elegant banquet venue in the style of the ancient Yan State, men and women who symbolize the pinnacle of their respective worldly positions talked and laughed, and various tiny whirlpools were quietly brewing between their words. When these whirlpools were released to the outside world, they would be a super storm enough to sweep across several countries.

The people of Rhodes Island were naturally the center of most of the storm, and everyone on the field wanted to talk to them.

Everyone at the banquet was quite easy-going, and they could all move around, talk and drink at ease. The middle-aged female president would certainly not miss such a good opportunity to get in touch with the leadership of Rhode Island, as she herself was a pro-Rhode Island politician.

Although she felt a little disappointed that she didn't get to know Dr. Su Qi this time, the female president was very satisfied that she could talk to this young devil who had already made a name for himself.

However, Amiya's attention was obviously not focused on the conversation between the two. Those who can become the leader of a country must be very smart. The female president immediately noticed that Amiya was always looking at Victoria's table.

What else is there to see in Victoria besides Reed and Theresa, but now there's a doctor sitting there.

Sure enough, they are still thinking about that person. The female president took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and asked with a smile: "Ms. Amiya really has a good relationship with Dr. Su Qi. I heard that they are brother and sister. I always thought it was a rumor."

Amiya smiled, and the brown-haired girl's always polite and distant smile revealed a little bit of genuine tenderness, a tenderness that would only be revealed when talking about someone.

"Well, I only have one brother, so I will naturally miss him."

"Dr. Su Qi is so lucky to have a sister like Miss Amiya who is so sensible and considerate. I'm afraid he got this luck because he saved Terra in his previous life." The female president took the opportunity to flatter him.

Amiya raised her eyes and looked at the middle-aged Custer woman, and said softly: "Being his relative for the rest of his life is my blessing and his misfortune."

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly becoming strange again, the female president smiled awkwardly, thinking that you Rhode Islanders are not pretending to be so devoted to him.

"Ms. Amiya, I heard that Dr. Su Qi already has a marriage partner and will hold a wedding ceremony soon. Is there anything we can do to help you then?" The female president changed the subject. Since you admire and love your brother so much, you must be happy to see your brother get married and start a family. It's always right to talk about this topic. We politicians are best at catering to others' preferences.

As expected, Amiya smiled beautifully. She gently patted Lan Du, who had been silent, and said with a smile, "Sister Lan Du, they say the doctor is getting married. I wonder if you are the bride."

The female president, who had just been laughing along with Amiya, suddenly had a stiff smile.

The pink-haired girl had a calm and indifferent expression, but her eyes were so deep that they were a little scary. Lan Du looked at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Is the Doctor going to get married? Where did this rumor come from?"

"Ah, I heard that too. I heard that."

"How can you speak nonsense about him? Don't make up stories about him next time." Lan Du lowered his eyes, not giving the president any face at all.

The female president of Colombia left in a huff, thinking that there was no normal person in Rhode Island. They were all like resentful women in the boudoir. They could only talk about their own men, and if others said something, their eyes would be like knives.

Amiya regained her calm smile. The little rabbit looked at her Blue Poison sister, the black hair rope she was holding tightly in her hand, and said, "Blue Poison sister, I can't believe it, my brother is really getting married."

"Who is he going to marry? I'm not even married, so who can he marry?" Lan Du asked softly, with his brows lowered.

"Melissa, Shining, Nian? Who can say for sure? Anyway, it won't be Sister Blue Poison. Sister Blue Poison is still sitting here at this critical moment."

Lan Du looked at her boss in surprise. Amiya met her gaze and nodded at her. "Nian and Shining are drinking for him, and now he has a beauty to take care of him. Isn't Lan Du looking like she's replacing Rosalina? What are you waiting for if you don't go now?"

Lan Du stood up without hesitation.

Amiya watched quietly as Lan Du walked to the man, saw the man's frown, saw the look in the man's eyes as he followed Lan Du's instructions, and smiled gently at the man.

Su Qi didn't say anything, and Lan Du sat next to him.

Amiya turned her head away, no longer watching the farce that was getting more and more intense over there.

Kal'tsit saw everything that happened and gently grabbed Amiya's hand.

"Why did you... go to this extent?"

"My brother is pushing himself into a desperate situation. How can I, as his younger sister, not be anxious?"
