Chapter 1683: Chapter 1683: The Fish Is About to Bite the Hook
Ji Lingkong’s face suddenly turned ugly, his heart sinking, feeling a strong dissatisfaction, as if something that belonged solely to him was coveted by others.
Moreover, who is this man? His cold glance swept past thoughtfully, his eyes shifting, subtly concealing a dark glow. He seemed not to have noticed this man earlier, the face looked somewhat unfamiliar; seemingly nothing was amiss, yet there was something...
Ji Lingkong narrowed his phoenix eyes.
And another filled with rage was Yun Qingqing. At the ball earlier, Jun Yiyi had stolen the spotlight, leaving her feeling both aggrieved and angry. She assumed she would be flawless at this ball, surely impress Young Master Ling Kong and leave him a lasting impression, only to have this golden opportunity snatched away.
As a pampered Eldest Miss, when had she ever suffered such a loss?
Now Jun Yiyi was once again stealing the show, attracting so many people’s attention, making her heart incredibly displeased.
She couldn’t help but cast a sinister glance at Madam Aisha; it was all this old woman’s doing, she was the one who brought Jun Yiyi into the banquet!
As the piece concluded, the entire room was captivated, applause thunderous.
Guests marveled one after another, their eyes bright, eagerly inquiring about who Jun Yiyi was.
Jun Yiyi stopped, gracefully curtseyed to all the guests, smiling lightly, displaying a sophisticated demeanor.
Meanwhile, Fengye Wuyin’s gaze swept across the room, passing over the delighted and enthusiastic face of the Councilman’s wife, he lowered his gaze, lips slightly curved.
Looks like the fish are about to bite.
His fingers discreetly brushed against the back of Jun Yiyi’s lowered hand.
Jun Yiyi slightly tilted her head, glancing at him with the corner of her eye, naturally understanding his cue to invite the Councilman’s wife.
Her fair and lively face immediately blossomed into a radiant smile, her sincere eyes eagerly looking at the Councilman’s wife:
"I’ve heard that the Councilman’s wife is also an elegant pianist with profound musical accomplishments, who I greatly admire as an idol. Tonight is the friendly charity banquet between the two countries; I wonder if I have the honor to perform a duet with the Councilman’s wife and compose a new movement for the friendship between the two nations?"
Her voice was clear and lively, composed and bold. Although her request was somewhat unconventional, such a delicate and charming beauty, with a pair of shining eyes that seemed to speak, only made people feel joyful, without the slightest sense of offense.
Moreover, she was extremely skillful in her speech.
Not only did she express her admiration for the Councilman’s wife, but she also invoked the friendship between the two countries. Even if the Councilman’s wife were unwilling, considering the political significance, she couldn’t refuse, otherwise, wouldn’t it be deliberately neglecting such friendship?
In fact, the Councilman’s wife found this fresh and interesting proposal delightful, personally going on stage to demonstrate the Aus Empire’s regard for Yalan Country certainly better accomplished the charity’s friendship path.
"Alright." The Councilman’s wife immediately spoke with a joyful smile.
The surrounding guests, especially the Yalan people, excitedly applauded. Being able to see the first lady perform was undoubtedly a great honor.
The sound of enthusiastic applause immediately awoke Ji Lingkong from his contemplation; he suddenly withdrew his gaze from the two on stage, surprised, looking towards the Councilman’s wife.
"Mom, this session wasn’t part of the program."
For a diplomatic charity banquet of such political nature, for the sake of safety, the entire schedule was planned from the start, with every detail drawn up by diplomatic officials from both countries and then reported.
