Chapter 357: Was He Being Stupid?
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome and elegant face and she bit her lips.
As far as she knew, there were too few girls whom Jiang Xuecheng knew and who would learn to waltz with him, weren’t there?
Suddenly, a name arose in Su Wan’s heart—Sheng An’ning.
Knowing that it was ridiculous to be jealous over such trivial matter, Su Wan still narrow-mindedly became jealous.
Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan looking down and his smile disappeared, obviously not feeling very happy.
“What’s wrong, Wan Wan?”
When Su Wan heard his question, she had wanted to say it was nothing but looking at his serious look, she murmured her thoughts.
“You can waltz so well. Did you practice with any girls previously?”
“Are you jealous?”
Looking at Su Wan’s dull eyes, Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his eyes and his worry turned into banter.
He smiled faintly. He was extremely happy to see Su Wan being jealous because of him.
“No...” As Su Wan spoke, her voice became softer and in the end, she admitted, “just a little.”
Su Wan’s lips pouted as if to show her gloominess. She was so adorable that he couldn’t help wanting to pinch her cheeks.
Taking advantage of Su Wan’s inattention, Jiang Xuecheng quickly lowered his head and placed a kiss on her hair.
“What are you doing...”
Su Wan rolled her eyes. There were many people dancing beside them. When Jiang Xuecheng showed some intimate gestures occasionally, it always made Su Wan feel uncomfortable.
She was probably that kind of person who would face psychological burden when showing affection in public.
Jiang Xuecheng smiled and he looked serious.
“I learned to waltz alone and I’ve seen people waltzing with their partners during lessons. You’re my first female partner...”
When the man’s deep voice landed in her ears, Su Wan was stunned. She didn’t know why but joy spread at the bottom of her heart very quickly.
After marrying Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan realized that although she kept ridiculing Jiang Xuecheng for being too possessive, wasn’t she too?
She was even jealous sometimes...
However, now that she heard Jiang Xuecheng’s explanation, the joy in her heart flowed quickly to her limbs and bones.
That was great! He was her first male partner too...
Su Wan couldn’t help smiling. Her brows were curved like a crescent and it was so good-looking it made one space out.
However, wasn’t this man really smart? He had never learned to waltz with a partner and had only seen others dance a few times, but he could dance so gracefully.
Jiang Xuecheng stared at Su Wan’s foolish giggle and his mood was good. He held her hand and said, “Come, let me continue teaching you how to waltz...”
Su Wan nodded smilingly.

The sound of melodious music resonated across the dance floor and quietly changed to the next rhythm.
The light technician directed the spotlight at the couple in the middle of the dance floor.
Many people present were observing Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng. Those who were used to dancing could naturally see that Su Wan was a novice. At the beginning of the dance, she was clumsy and would occasionally step on Jiang Xuecheng’s feet.
However, even so, they couldn’t take their eyes off them for a moment. The couple made up of the handsome man and the beautiful woman was really eye-catching.
Gradually, many young men and women stopped dancing and paid attention to the waltzing of the bride and groom.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng seemed to have a natural tacit understanding. Very quickly, a black and a red figure intertwined. Su Wan held Jiang Xuecheng’s slender arm and turned around gracefully on the dance floor.
Suddenly, her red dress bloomed like a rose, charming people all around.
Although Su Wan’s dancing was still a little slow, she was dignified and at ease.
In everyone’s eyes, there was only a black and a red figure, as if the others had been automatically blurred.
The two colors, a rose-like red and an ink-like black intertwined. They were absolutely well-matched.
When the music ended, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng stopped dancing.
Someone started clapping and very quickly, the entire hall was filled with applause.
“What a great waltz!”
“One more!”
***
Sheng An’ning sat beside the dance floor. She was observing Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng silently. When she heard the noise of the guests, she almost dropped her glass!
Brother Xuecheng was really graceful when he danced but Su Wan, that b*tch, wasn’t good at all.
Not to mention her chaotic dance steps, she sometimes stepped on Jiang Xuecheng’s feet!
She didn’t even have the basic skill of a dancer and she still had the cheek to dance in the middle of the dance floor?
Sheng An’ning rose to her feet. She wanted everyone to see what real dancing was!
However, before Sheng An’ning took a step, three tall women surrounded her once again. Although they did not utter a single word, their cold eyes were filled with threat.
Sheng An’ning’s hands trembled. Her imposing manner suddenly weakened just like a punctured balloon.
Jiang Haoxuan, who had been accompanying Sheng An’ning silently, couldn’t take it any longer. He brought her back to her seat immediately.
“An’ning, why would you do this? Brother and Sis-in-Law are actually well-matched, aren’t they?”
Sheng An’ning looked at Jiang Haoxuan in disbelief. She felt he had been completely brainwashed by Su Wan.
“Haoxuan...even you feel this way too?”
Sheng An’ning had learned her lesson and did not swear. Instead, she used the trick she was best at.
She blinked and in just two to three seconds, tears appeared in her pretty eyes.
Her eyelashes were wet by her tears. Her eyelashes fluttered like the butterfly wings, flickering in Jiang Haoxuan’s heart. A bitterness flashed through Jiang Haoxuan.
Jiang Haoxuan looked at her red eyes and sighed lowly. He felt he truly loved this woman and could put himself down for her sake.
However, after all these years, had she ever even looked at him?
“An’ning, you know very well, I like...”
I like you...
Before he could utter the word ‘you’, Sheng An’ning put her finger on his lips.
The warm touch spread and Jiang Haoxuan’s eyes widened. He felt an electric current coming from the fingertips of Sheng An’ning, making his heart tremble non-stop.
“Haoxuan, you know I like Xuecheng. Will you drink with me?”
Sheng An’ning looked at Jiang Haoxuan pitifully. Her voice was soft and gentle but her change of topic was like a sharp and cold knife, stabbing Jiang Haoxuan’s heart mercilessly.
Jiang Haoxuan’s face stiffened. He smiled bitterly. Wasn’t he qualified to be a substitute?
Every time he wanted to confess, Sheng An’ning would repeatedly tell him that she liked Jiang Xuecheng.
However, every time he wanted to give up, Sheng An’ning would come to pester him and show her faint intimacy.
So, was he being stupid?
