The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute.

Before she knew it, it was already lunchtime.

Secretary Tan knocked on the door and entered. “Master, Miss Chu, lunch is ready.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she immediately sat up straight.

Li Yan looked up. “Bring it in.”

Secretary Tan led a person in a chef’s uniform pushing a food cart from outside the door to the sofa area. After the two of them carried the dishes to the coffee table, they went out.

Chu Luo looked at the delicious-looking food and immediately put down the tablet in her hand.

Li Yan walked to the wall and pressed a button before walking over to sit in the armchair beside her.

Chu Luo gave him a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of food to eat. Her eyes lit up. “I thought that the imperial cuisine cooked by your chef here would definitely be average. I didn’t expect it to be so delicious.”

Li Yan glanced at her and said, “You can come over to eat in the future.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she bit her chopsticks and looked at him.

“What?”

“I stay so far away from here. Am I really going to come all the way here just to eat?”

“…”

After they ate, Chu Luo received a call from Tang Zhiyun.

After the boys woke up, they went to her place to play games. Seeing that she hadn’t gone back yet, they were a little worried.

Chu Luo said to them, “I have something on today. I’ll be back late tonight, so don’t worry.”

Tang Zhiyun and the others guessed that Chu Luo was with her older brother, so they didn’t ask anything else.

In the afternoon, Li Yan continued to work while Chu Luo watched interstellar materials and videos.

When it was almost four o’clock, Secretary Tan sent over a gown.

Li Yan pointed at the lounge. “You can go inside to change.”

Chu Luo took the gift box and walked in.

When she closed the door, Secretary Tan said to Li Yan, “Master, I’m already prepared.”

Li Yan nodded and walked over to call Qin Ming.

Qin Ming reported to him, “Master, everything is ready here.”

Li Yan hung up and Secretary Tan left.

The evening gown Secretary Tan had prepared for Chu Luo had a flared skirt bottom and fitting waistline. There was also a gauze sleeve on her shoulders. It looked pretty good and was something she could accept wearing.

Chu Luo put on the dress and the matching high heels, then put on the jewelry and walked out.

Li Yan had already changed into a suit and was waiting there.

When Chu Luo came out, he sized her up. There was satisfaction in his eyes.

Chu Luo walked over and asked, “Are we going over now?”

“There’s no hurry. You can eat something to fill your stomach first.”

Recalling that there would be an ambush tonight, Chu Luo nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked out of the office.

“Where are we going to eat?”

“The restaurant downstairs.”

The restaurant of the Blazing Glory Corporation wasn’t inferior to a seven-star restaurant.

It wasn’t dinnertime yet. When the two of them entered, the head chef personally led them to a dining table and sat down, then handed them menus.

Chu Luo looked at the dishes and said, “You’ll definitely drink wine when you go over tonight. In that case, order these few dishes.” With that, she ordered the dishes and handed the menu to the head chef.

After the chef had left, Chu Luo said to Li Yan, “I don’t have any ingredients on me. Otherwise, I’d have concocted some hangover medicine for you.”

At this point, she suddenly remembered that there were pharmacies everywhere. She smiled and said, “Let’s buy some medicine on the way. I’ll concoct some hangover medicine for you.”

“Okay.”

…

Earl Clay’s home was located in the western suburbs of XX City. As he had a noble title, he lived in an ancient castle. The castle was majestic and massive. Not only did it have a sense of age, but it was also a symbol of status.

Li Yan definitely wasn’t the only person invited to Earl Clay’s family’s banquet.

When their car arrived at the entrance of the Earl’s castle, there were already many luxury cars parked there.

Li Yan didn’t get the chauffeur to open the door immediately but instead told Chu Luo:

“Other than the people from the business world, there are also some nobles who are close to him attending the banquet tonight. When the time comes, I will be invited to talk to them alone. If anyone invites you to leave, you can leave with them. I’ve arranged for someone to protect you. No one can hurt you.”

Chu Luo originally wanted to say that even if no one protected her, no one could hurt her. However, after thinking for a while, she only took out a talisman and handed it to him.

“Take this talisman with you. If you encounter any danger, I will come and save you.”

Li Yan stared at the talisman in her hand with an unfathomable gaze.

Chu Luo smiled at him. “Maybe there’s something non-human in this Earl’s family that you can’t resolve.”

Li Yan took the talisman from her hand and put it in his pocket before gesturing for the chauffeur to open the door.

There was actually an automatic detector device beside the door of the Earl’s house that scanned for dangerous items.

A bodyguard pushed Li Yan’s wheelchair and Chu Luo followed beside him. They walked over under the escort of a group of bodyguards.

The guard by the door politely gestured for them to enter. “Esteemed guest, please walk through the dangerous item detector.”

Chu Luo glanced over. There was a platform about five to six centimeters tall below the device. One had to stand on it.

At this moment, a bodyguard asked bluntly, “Do you think it’s convenient for Master to walk over there?”

Unexpectedly, they had made arrangements. The guard walked over and pressed a button, and the platform descended.

“Mr. Li, please.”

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan only nodded at the bodyguards behind him before they pushed him over.

Li Yan’s wheelchair was special and the detector couldn’t detect anything.

Chu Luo saw that the guard who’d brought them here had pressed the communicator on his ear and said to Li Yan apologetically, “Mr. Li, our machine had a slight malfunction just now. Please let us check your wheelchair again.”

A cold aura emanated from Li Yan.

The guard was so startled by his aura that he immediately put his hand on his waist and subconsciously took a small step back.

Li Yan said coldly, “Since Earl Clay has no intention of inviting me to the banquet, why should I go in?”

The guard didn’t expect Li Yan to say he would go back. He was shocked and quickly said, “Mr. Li, don’t misunderstand. This is just a mistake on our side. I’ll report this matter to the Earl immediately.”

The guard quickly ran over to make a call.

Chu Luo looked at the other guards who were staring at them and asked, “What did you do to this Earl’s family previously? Why is he so guarded against you… Is it because of Arlan?

“I have a feeling that after we enter, the most you can do is bring a bodyguard to push your wheelchair into the banquet hall.”

Li Yan snorted in disdain.

The guard quickly walked out and said to Li Yan at once, “Mr. Li, the Young Master is already personally on the way to welcome you in. Please wait for a moment.”

Chu Luo muttered, “Looks like this Earl is really going to take you down a notch before you enter.”

In the car, Chu Luo had investigated the gossip about the Earl’s family and knew that his eldest son was the most unloved in the family.

The Earl’s eldest son was named Ian. He was 32 years old this year and had a rough appearance and figure. He looked a little wooden.

The moment Ian walked out, he kept apologizing to Li Yan and wanted to bring them in.

The guard received the Earl’s signal and didn’t dare to let them in. He quickly said to Ian, “Young Master, Mr. Li’s wheelchair hasn’t been checked.”

When Ian heard this, he stopped and looked at Li Yan’s wheelchair. “Mr. Li, if you don’t mind, may I personally check your wheelchair?”

Chu Luo thought that Li Yan wouldn’t agree, but he agreed. “Sure.”

Ian immediately took the instrument from the guard and carefully examined Li Yan’s wheelchair under everyone’s watchful eyes.

The detector didn’t make a sound. Ian handed it to the guard.

The guard didn’t say anything else and retreated to the side.

The group walked through the gate that was like a city wall. There was a huge courtyard inside, and there were many guards standing inside.

After Ian brought the group in, he said to Li Yan, “Mr. Li, there are a lot of guests at my house tonight. All the guests’ bodyguards are arranged uniformly. Please don’t mind it.”

Li Yan nodded.

A guard came over to take Li Yan’s bodyguards away.

As Chu Luo had expected, in the end, they left Li Yan with only one bodyguard to push his wheelchair.

Under Ian’s lead, the three of them continued heading forward. They walked past the beautifully carved Roman columns and the large fountain with human sculptures. What appeared in front of them was a gorgeous living room.

At this moment, the door of the living room was wide open. People in luxurious clothes were walking inside, chatting softly or dancing to the cheerful jazz music.

The sound of the wheelchair rolling on the ground passed through the living room. Those who were closer to the hall door turned to look when they heard this.

When they saw who it was, many people were shocked.

“Didn’t the CEO of Blazing Glory Corporation never accept invitations from anyone in the past? Why is he here tonight?”

“That means Earl Clay is highly esteemed.”

“That might not be the case. Didn’t you hear what happened at Atlantis’s family banquet?”

“What is it? Tell me quickly.”

The person lowered his voice. “Previously, at Mr. Atlantis’s family’s banquet, didn’t they request all the girls to wear masks? I heard that Lausanne’s daughter Adeline wanted to seduce CEO Li, but CEO Li directly forced her to take the drug and threw her into the hall for everyone to see.”

“This… Li Yan is too ruthless. Who doesn’t know that Adeline is Prince Arlan’s precious cousin?”

“That’s why I heard that Prince Arlan was furious that night. Not only did he send people to stop Li Yan halfway, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to destroy his company’s stock price in the US. However… he was still a step behind.”

Those who heard the gossip immediately understood.

When the bodyguards pushed Li Yan into the hall, everyone subconsciously made way for him.

Li Yan ignored the whispers around him and maintained his cold expression.

Just as he was about to approach Earl Clay, who was talking to a few nobles in the hall, before Earl Clay could speak, Arlan’s eccentric voice was heard. “CEO Li, you’re really a bigshot, huh? My family invited you to a banquet, but you actually arrived late.”
