Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 857: With You Always (Part 2)
Jun Li was the least willing to go.
But if she didn’t go, it would surely be unacceptable.
Not only did she have to attend, but the sons of all the realm kings had to as well.
She waited for quite a while before seeing the people from the Netherworld arrive.
The Netherworld King attended with his son, without any family members.
After the offering, songs and dances followed, lively and vibrant.
Jun Li sat kneeling in front of a small table, watching her mother, who was smiling joyfully on the high seat, with an expressionless face.
Jun Xiangyi sat beside her and whispered, "Aunt, Uncle is here. Aren’t you going to sit next to him?"
"No need." They are together every day, and not being together at this moment makes no big difference.
Jun Xiangyi looked at Xu Mohan next to Long Yubei. Today, he was wearing a long robe of jade green, with a slanted bang and half-tied hairstyle, fixed with a hairpin.
Sharp brows and bright eyes, clear and bright as the moon.
Noticing her gaze, Xu Mohan looked over, and Jun Xiangyi immediately shifted her eyes away and lowered her head.
When the dance ended, it was time for speeches.
Dai Ji, with a benevolent face, spoke with a smile, "Thank you, everyone, from various realms, for taking the time from your busy schedules to come to the Heavenly World to celebrate my birthday. I am very happy, but more than my birthday, I feel that the greatest joy for me is the return of my daughter Jun Li. There is nothing that makes me happier than this. As everyone knows, Jun Li is an accomplished dancer, and she wishes to take this opportunity to celebrate my birthday with a dance. Let’s welcome her."
Jun Li frowned slightly, instantly understanding her intention.
She expected that in such a setting, she’d never refuse to save face and disturb everyone’s enjoyment.
She had precisely calculated that she would do exactly that.
Displaying such a deep mother-daughter affection in front of everyone, outsiders wouldn’t know, but who in the Heavenly World doesn’t know how bad their relationship is?
Jun Li stood up, and indeed, she would follow her mother’s words.
It wasn’t because she was timid.
It was because this concerned the face of the Heavenly World.
The Heavenly King was also present, and she couldn’t behave outrageously.
Jun Li was already dressed festively, in a red long dress. As she danced, the long sleeves swung gently, creating a magnificent effect.
Dancing was her forte, and without any special preparation, she could captivate everyone’s attention.
Watching her dance and seeing the amazement in everyone’s eyes, Long Yubei felt a surge of pride in his heart—this was his woman, after all.
Many people had seen her dance, but each time they watched, they found it refreshing, never tiring of it.
With the dance concluded, Jun Li bowed, "Daughter wishes Mother as boundless happiness as the East Sea."
Although Dai Ji was smiling, her tone was quite indifferent, "Return to your seat."
Jun Li returned to her seat.
After the banquet began, she excused herself, saying she felt unwell and refused to eat, not even picking up her chopsticks, let alone drinking; she was the only one in the whole place who neither ate nor drank.
She was probably also the only unhappy person.
Everyone raised their glasses, celebrating, more or less drinking some wine.
In such a grand event, no one would intentionally spoil the mood. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Jun Li just wanted to leave early, as her ears were buzzing in such a noisy situation. When it was about halfway through, Dai Ji left the table, and seeing her leave, when would there be a better time to leave?
Based on her understanding of her mother, in a moment, a maid would come to call her over.
So she whispered a few instructions to Jun Xiangyi and then left.
Sure enough, as soon as she left, Dai Ji’s maid arrived.
Not seeing Jun Li, she asked Jun Xiangyi, "Goddess, where is Divine Mother Jun Li?"
"My aunt is feeling very unwell and has left early. Is there something you need?"
