To salvage the moment, Ye Xing raised his glass of wine. "Let's toss and drink! Tonight, no one is allowed to leave until they are dead drunk!"
Then, he turned towards Li Han. "Come, come! Drink all your troubles away. Forget all about unpleasant things and just enjoy yourself tonight."
All the people in the room held their glasses with beated breath. They looked at Li Han and waited for his reaction. No one was that daring to make the first move.
Li Han swept a glance around the room. His face remained cold and indifference. Then, he reached for his glass and clinked his glass against Ye Xing's without another word.
Ye Xing heaved a sigh of relief seeing Li Han didn't continue throwing tantrums and fuss over the matter. Although his entire countenance didn't change from his usual dark and gloomy mood, Ye Xing didn't gloss over it much longer. He knew the dark and gloomy mood was like Li Han's default mood.
His black hair and black eyes, coupled with black clothes from top to bottom and black mask, Li Han truly exuded obscure aura. His entire being was shrouded with arcane and enigmatic air. It was as if he would melt and become one with the dark night.
With one glance, people could feel he was a dangerous person. And his cold demeanour didn't help his course. It was as if he was silently warning people to not come close to him.
This was the reason people didn't dare to cross his line. He only kept a small group of trusted friends around him. One of them present at the moment was Ye Xing.
The night continued and the people in the room started to loosen up. Although no one had enough courage to get closer to Li Han except from Ye Xing, they started to chat and drink among themselves to liven things up.
Things were rather smooth from that point onwards. No other incident occurred after that. It continued until the end of the gathering.
As the guest of the honor, Li Han was the first to leave the place. All the people stood up as they sent him away.
After Li Han left, the people in the room released a deep breath that they didn't realized they were holding. Although they all came from prominent families too, their family couldn't compare with the Li family. All the people in the country knew that if Chen family ruled in the light, then Li family ruled the dark side.
"By the way, is he coming to the masquerade ball tomorrow night?" someone asked the question.
"No way! He couldn't even stand less than five women in a room. You think he would tolerate dozens of women in an entire hall?" The friend beside him replied.
"Hmph, I'll call the person who would manage to drag that scary man to the ball tomorrow my grandfather!" Another person said.
"Me too!" Another young master supported.
"Yes, I will call that person my grandfather too! No, my ancestor!" Added another young master.
"Then I will call the woman who comes with him as my grandmother!" Someone continued jokingly.
"That's totally unfair! You think there is a woman stupid and crazy enough who wants to be his partner? In our circle, who doesn't know how scary that man is?"
"And you think he would come to the ball at all?"
As the arguments continued and the bet became more far-fetched, Ye Xing's eyes lighted up. As he swirled the wine in his glass, his lips curled up into a sly smile. Various plans were drafted in his mind.
Tomorrow, he would make sure this group of young masters called him grandfather and became his grandsons...
Nyehehe...
