The Favored Heiress

Hearing that, Tang Yiting tugged at the short skirt on her knees, boldly crossed her legs in the "second brother" style, and glanced sideways at Li Qiao, testing her, "I heard your betrothed is incredibly handsome, but you just let it go, don't you feel regretful?"

"Incredibly handsome?" Li Qiao slightly curved her lips, but Shang Yu's face that stirred one's emotions once again surfaced in her mind. She lowered her gaze slightly, "Your taste in beauty, is off the mark!"

"Impossible!" Tang Yiting pulled out her phone, swiped a couple of times, and then pointed the screen at Li Qiao with a serious face, "Please take a good look, isn't this face beautiful enough?"

Li Qiao followed her actions and glanced at the phone, which to her surprise showed a photo of Shang Lu in formal attire.

Plain as water, beautiful?

Li Qiao's gaze moved to Tang Yiting's face, and she gave a lazy smile, "Where did this photo come from?"

"My cousin gave it to me, and he was the one who told me about the annulment of the engagement." After saying this, she added another sentence: "You should still remember my cousin, right? Lu Xiheng, the handsome guy with hair down to his waist."

The handsome guy with hair down to his waist...

Li Qiao was puzzled for a second, "Oh..." She didn't remember.

Seeing her reaction, Tang Yiting knew her cousin didn't catch Li Qiao's eye at all.

After all, in the South Sea's richest Li Family, they not only had wealth but also looks.

That family, standing together, could beat half the entertainment industry just with their looks!

Not to mention Li Qiao, born with a face that could topple empires, pure yet seductive, being the school beauty, department beauty, class beauty, all rolled into one. Yet she had an indifferent nature and a cold demeanor; for so many years, not a single boy dared to confess to her face, for fear of being spurned.

Tang Yiting sighed heavily while holding her phone, looking as beaten as a frosted eggplant, "Such a beautiful man, what a waste, what a waste."

Li Qiao cast her a glance and shook her head as she stood up, "I'm going out for a bit."

"Where are you going? I'll come with you..." Tang Yiting was about to follow, but Li Qiao, holding her phone, gestured with her hand, "No need, I'm going to the finance department."

"Alright then." Tang Yiting gave up reluctantly.

South Sea Entertainment City is a property of the Li Family. From its inception, it was endowed to Li Qiao with a 45% share by Li Guangming, the doting father, making her the legitimate little boss here.

...

After years of development, the Entertainment City's infrastructure was now very perfect, with countless features including a gambling hall, opera house, bar, art museum, restaurant, exhibition hall, and more.

Even late into the night, the place was still bustling like the Sleepless City with crowds of people.

Li Qiao strolled through the corridor and took the elevator straight to the Blue Night Bar on the lower floor of the Entertainment City.

As night deepened, indulgence was just beginning.

The bar was divided into two areas: one side featured a slow bar with elegant tones and melodious music, while the other was a noisy disco with an unrestrained atmosphere.

Li Qiao, familiar with the place, headed directly to the slow bar's counter, where the melody of a violin wafted through the air, adding a dreamy haze to the night.

A Mojito was placed in front of her by the bartender, and Li Qiao sat on a high stool, one foot tapping on the ground, tilting her chin up slightly, "Thanks."

"Don't mention it, you haven't been here in a while!"

The bartender, Wen Shi, was twenty-four years old, two years older than Li Qiao, from an average family background. He worked part-time as a bartender in the slow bar every night and was a graduate student, a paragon of a hardworking and thrifty student.

Li Qiao and he weren't particularly close, but every time she came to the Entertainment City Bar, he would make her a Mojito.

At this moment, observing Li Qiao's detached expression, Wen Shi pursed his lips and asked, "I heard you're going to graduate from the university next month, are you planning to continue studying?"

Li Qiao took a light sip from her glass and said indifferently, "Not necessarily."

"Actually, I think..."

Wen Shi hadn't finished speaking when suddenly from the private room behind them on the right, someone kicked the door open and bellowed, "Shang Shaoyan, where the hell is my big brother? You were the one who took him, this is a society governed by law, don't think you can get away with this!"

Shang Shaoyan?
