Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Does Ah Li Have a Significant Other?

His shirt buttons were undone to the top two, revealing his Adam’s apple, adding a few degrees of abstinent sex appeal to his refined masculine charm. As people adjacent chatted with him, his expressions were gentle, yet that gentleness wasn’t fully approachable, but rather made people cautious, not daring to be reckless before him.

In an imperceptible manner, Tang Li’s lips slightly upturned.

Just at that moment, a figure appeared at the side entrance of the banquet hall.

After Han Jifeng entered, he did not look for a seat, but headed straight for the table where the Lai Family People were. Lai Wenyan saw Han Jifeng, immediately called him over to sit down, so when Tang Li redirected her gaze, she found Han Jifeng already sitting opposite her.

Lai Wenyan said with a smile, "Jifeng is young yet has already become a director, certainly more promising than us older generation!"

Han Jifeng did not respond to the remark, poured some wine into his cup, and then stood up, looking at Lai Wenyan and said, "I have long admired Tang Li, and I wonder if uncle would give me the opportunity to marry her and take her home?"

That one sentence from Han Jifeng changed the atmosphere at the table.

This was not what Lai Wenyan had initially thought.

He believed that he would be the one bringing up the marriage, with others aiding in the proposal, and given that Xiaxia had sought out Han Jifeng, even if Han Jifeng did not like Tang Li, he might still agree for Xiaxia’s sake.

Instead, Han Jifeng was now, without a word, intent on marrying Tang Li.

Lai Wenyan caught a glimpse of the side entrance of the banquet hall, where Lai Shengxia just happened to walk in, and must have been Xiaxia who had spoken to Han Jifeng outside just now. With this thought, he immediately raised his glass and said with a laugh, "It’s a good thing when two hearts are willing. As an elder, I am happy to see it happen."

Saying this, Lai Wenyan turned to look at Tang Li, his eyes filled with an unprecedented affection: "Ah Li has no elder at home now, so today I, as your uncle, will overstep and make this decision for you.

Ah Li is still in school, you can set an engagement first, and discuss other matters in two years."

Tang Li was Lai Wenyan’s illegitimate daughter, which Han Jifeng was well aware of.

So—

He had no objections to Lai Wenyan’s words.

"But what if I am unwilling?" Tang Li’s voice came.

Lai Shengxia came over, just in time to hear Tang Li say, "Since my family no longer has adults, I am already of age, and I can decide on my own marriage, without the need for others to dictate."

For a while, the previously harmonious atmosphere turned stiff.

People at the next table looked over.

Lai Wenyan immediately frowned.

Without waiting for his scolding, Tang Li spoke calmly, "During the two years at the Lai Family, I am grateful for the care of uncle and auntie. Now that I have financial independence, I will not trouble you anymore. As for the marriage, uncle need not worry about it on my behalf."

Besides Lai Wenyan and his spouse, Qin Yansheng was also at this table.

Hearing Tang Li speak like this, Qin Yansheng asked with a smile, "Does Ah Li have someone in mind?"

Hearing this, Han Jifeng’s gaze shifted towards Tang Li opposite him.

Tang Li did not look at anyone, nor did she deny Qin Yansheng’s words, "Just now, uncle said that marriage requires mutual affection, but in fact, I do not know Director Han, and certainly, Director Han feels the same. If we’re forced together, we can’t guarantee we won’t end up resentful of each other." Just like in her previous life.

She added those words in her heart.

Tang Li’s face was composed, but her heart was tumultuous, like waves churning.

As Han Jifeng proposed to marry her, her hands under the table clenched tightly. After making a big detour, upon reencountering Han Jifeng, it’s as if things had come full circle.

Han Jifeng still chose to marry her.

Despite the lack of love, he was still planning to drag her into a cage.

The various episodes after she married Han Jifeng in the previous life suddenly surged like a tidal wave, flooding her brain and nearly drowning her consciousness.

Back then, there were no state banquets, no Director Han.

Han Jifeng had simply asked her abruptly in a hospital corridor if she would marry him, when Lai Wenyan decided to marry her off to Xia Zhengguo’s son, and she clung to Han Jifeng as her sole lifeline.
