Chapter 96 Wedding Anniversary Banquet Arc (11) : Mr. Liu Is Here

Jin didn't notice when he was spun around, made him hold hands with Ai and got dumped towards the dance floor.

Shui watched it wide-eyed, who was standing quietly beside Jin when he was suddenly shoved away. "Grandpa? What are you doing?"

Liu Hai was shining like the sun. "Hohoho! You wouldn't imagine what happened today! I found a gem. I found my third granddaughter-in-law!"

The radiance on his face was unmatchable.

Shui scratched her chin. "Huh? I don't understand."

"A bride! I found a bride for my grandson! I played the role of a perfect cupid! Look at her," he pointed towards Ai. "I met her an hour ago. She is such a good girl! The moment I talked to her, I knew she was perfect for Jin!"

She froze. Everything went blank in front of her. "...What?"

Liu Hai babbled on. "At first, I was going to make her choose between Jin and Nian. But hmph! Nian doesn't deserve her! I don't like Nian for her. But Jin and she match like the perfect couple, don't they?"

Shui failed to respond. Something sharp and painful struck her chest. She forgot to breathe because of the sudden agony that grappled her heart.

"Look at them. They look so cute together, right? Shui? Shui?" He shook her shoulder and whined. "I am talking to you. Join me in my happiness and praise me!" _{snapped out of her stupor. "Ah yeah…a-a wife for Jin…yeah, she…"}

Shui stared at Ai and uneasily touched her throat. "She is nice…"

Liu Hai nodded hard. "Of course! My eyes never fail me," his nose grew longer in pride.

On the dance floor, Jin and Ai stood like two motionless statues. Jin, by nature, was calm and gentle. But now Liu Hai had definitely exasperated him.

Grandpa…You never fail to make things difficult, don't you?

They had become the center of attention, and now it was quite difficult to pull back. He glanced at Liu Hai, who was giving him a thumbs-up like an eager child.

He smiled and held in his urge to beat him up.

Jin looked back at Ai. "I am sorry once again. He is a lost cause."

Her lips twitched.

"We are already here now. Everybody is looking at us. It will be difficult to leave without a dance so…" he offered his hand. "Let's just quickly get done with it."

Ai was stumped.

I just wanted to give Jun's gift. Why am I suddenly here?

Just like Jun, she disliked being the center of attention. Somehow a dance with Jin, who was the cause of Jun's broken relationship, seemed too complicated and strange to her.

But she couldn't leave and possibly make an embarrassment out of her and Jin.

She stared at his hand. "I…would like to get this over with too. But, I don't know how to dance."

Jin smiled. "That's not a problem. Just follow my lead, and you will be alright."

Ai hesitated for a moment but then gave up. She wished it could be Jun who taught her, but was helpless before a certain hyperactive grandfather.

She slowly put her hand in his. Jin stretched his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. _?

Ai stiffened for a moment.

"Do as I show you."

She nodded.

The music changed, and a sweet romantic melody played in the background.

Ai fumbled at first, but then they gradually got into the rhythm as they danced.

Liu Hai smirked in victory. "Aish, they look cute!"

Liu Chunhua came to his side and curiously asked about the woman Jin was dancing with. Her husband gladly told the story without missing a beat.

She was speechless. "You! Don't just randomly be a pushover, Hai! At this point, I feel that you practically forced her into this."

He gasped in shock. "What are you saying! Of course, I didn't force her. I asked her if she was single, and she is."

"So, you will just conveniently take her? Did you ask if she wanted to date Jin in the first place!?"

"What is the problem with Jin? He is a hundred times better than that brat Nian! Look, look, they seem so cute together."

Liu Chunhua took another glance and indeed felt that they looked good together. She was cute too.

"They are…but you cannot decide for them!"

"You are talking to the wrong man, sister-in-law," Chen Liling, Liu Hai's younger sister and her husband, Chen Guiren, joined in.

"He always forcibly takes matters into his hands," she sneered.

Liu Hai sneered back. "Oh is that jealousy I see, my dear little sister?"

Chen Liling's gaze darkened. "Why will I be jealous!?"

"It's because I found her first! Hah! You are jealous!"

She gritted her teeth. His words hit the nerve. When she saw Ai on the dance floor, she immediately took a liking to her even without meeting her. She had an eye for people just like Liu Hai.

"You were definitely going to poach her for Zixin if you had met her first, didn't you?"

Chen Liling wanted to strangle her brother. "Be careful, big brother or you will get cursed by the sweets you love so much!"

He waved his hand in dismissal. "It's just your jealousy talking. You would have done the same thing. Take matters into your and dump her to your eldest

grandson, Zixin! Pot calling the kettle black!"

She trembled in rage. Her ever so doting husband, Chen Guiren, patted her shoulder and signaled her to discard the argument. She jumped into his hug and sobbed feeling the injustice.

The elders kept bickering among themselves, but Shui couldn't hear anything anymore. She was only watching Jin and Ai dance in a daze with a prickly feeling in her chest.

But she wasn't the only one whose gaze was fixed at them.

At the far end of the crowd behind all the guests and under the veil of darkness stood Jun.

He just took a step inside the mansion when the first thing that greeted his sight was the light shining on Jin and Ai at the center of the dance floor, who danced as they embraced each other.
