To Love You Again

Chapter 126 - The Dance

Chapter 126 - The Dance

"Ladies, be prepared. Who among you will be chosen as the second young master 's first dance?"

The ladies' eyes shined. They wanted them to be.

"Let's welcome, second young master Lu Yin Ze."

A round of applause rained towards Lu Yin Ze.

He was now wearing a new suit. He was wearing a white tuxedo and a white shirt. A dark blue bowtie was enough to accommodate his suit. His silver hair was combed. One could even see some silver in his eyes. He was so dazzling.

Added the fact that the spotlight was on him, it just highlighted his angelic features more. The guest's hearts could not help but be captured by his charm.

The orchestra started.

Lu Yin Ze started to walk towards the crowd as well. Choosing his first dance.

He planned to make Old Mistress Tang his first dance. But unfortunately, after Xiong Zhi and Guan Guri's performance, the hegemons left. No one even noticed when the four hegemons exited. But they left their grandchildren behind to finish the party for them.

Now, Lu Yin Ze needs to choose between the Young Miss of Tang and Xiong. Since it was only reasonable that he would choose someone high with his status.

And..there's no question who would he choose.

All the heated gaze was following Lu Yin Ze.

They watched as he stopped in front of a certain lady.

He bowed down to his waist, his cool and angelic voice whispered to their ears.

"May I have the honor, young miss?"

A cool voice answered.

"En."

They watched the couple walked forward. The young lady's blue ocean dress complimented well with the young man's bowtie.

They reached the center and faced each other. The spotlight above giving the audience an illusion that these two are not from their world. That these two came from a fantasy world where they are the two protagonists. They could even see their halos surrounding them. Their fair skin glistened from the light.

Those who watched couldn't bear to take their eyes away from them.

The orchestra then started a new piece. A slow romantic one.

Xiong Zhi knew very well that she would be chosen. Even Lu Yin Ze like Song Xuantin, he could not make Song Xuantin as his first dance with his status. It would bring unnecessary rumors and trouble to them. It might affect Lu Yin Ze's reputation. It's a critical moment for Lu Yin Ze since he was just starting to establish his position in the highest circle. And for Song Xiantin, worst things may come to her. Not only those sharp rumors but a lot of people will target her. Affecting her daily life. So it was a good choice she, as a Young Miss of Xiong, would be the first dance. Song Xuantin could take the second dance.

Xiong Zhi and Lu Yin Ze followed the slow beat.

"What are you thinking?" Lu Yin Ze was staring at Xiong Zhi the whole time.

They are so close to each other that he could inhale her scent. But even though they are that close, they both know they are maintaining a polite distance.

However, to Lu Yin Ze, it was so close that he wants to end this dance quickly. His hands that were on her waist were sweating and so hot. He was like being scalded. Because of this, his mind and heart were uncomfortable.

Xiong Zhi's attention was finally at him.

"Who would be your second dance?" Xiong Zhi asked instead of answering.

Her hot breath grazed his face, making Lu Yin Ze's heart thumped fast. He concluded that it was a wrong move to make her speak. He was really nervous. He thought he was confident enough to be under everyone's eyes. Now he was worried.

"Are you okay?" Xiong Zhi was close to him and could see the discomfort in his silver-blue eyes and the furrowing of his brows. Lu Yin Ze seems to be unwell today. Earlier as well, she noticed his strange reaction when she met him at the entrance.

"I'm probably nervous. I hope this day would end peacefully." Lu Yin Ze said the truth and the thoughts he had in mind.

"It will be okay. Your birthday is so grandiose and unforgettable for everyone." Xiong Zhi comforted him with a warm smile.

Lu Yin Ze took her words to heart and smile warmly as well. For some reason, his heart that was still thumping fast did not bring discomfort anymore. But only...excitement and anticipation.

His mind was calm and he enjoyed the dance.

They exchanged some praises on how both of them look good in their dress and suit. Xiong Zhi even joked about his gifts that he was so wealthier than her. Lu Yin Ze was so embarrassed that he got these things so easily. So he instantly promised that she and Song Xuantin would share the blessings as well. This made Xiong Zhi laughed a little. Lu Yin Ze then continued to chat about what he would do to the gifts with them. He was telling his plan to use the private jet to have a trip with Xiong Zhi and Song Xuantin. Xiong Zhi joked that they need to invite Gu Zhen as well for Song Xuantin to come. Lu Yin Ze said he will. It was to make his ears rest for a while. Xiong Zhi laughed at this and Lu Yin Ze was affected that he laughed as well.

The two atmospheres were so harmonious. Seeing that both of the people have the same status and they are both beautiful, the ladies dejectedly admit defeat and gave the title of the second young master's miss to Xiong Zhi. They had no choice but to admire the two from afar.

However, some people are not.

Xiong Wuyue's face was green with envy. She really liked to scratch Xiong Zhi's s.l.u.tty face and ripped her apart. Watching her flirting with the second young master made Xiong Wuyue cursed under her breath.

She wanted to run and broke them apart. The whispers around her about how the young miss of Xiong was a perfect match to the second young master, how they look good as a couple, how they both beautiful, add more fuel to her raging hate.

If looks could kill she had thrown Xiong Zhi to the depth of hell.

Xiong Wuyue's intense hate seems to create a radar around Xiong Zhi. She felt it and looked towards her direction, where the hate was so intense. Seeing Xiong Wuyie from afar, Xiong Zhi could somehow guess what 's in her head right now.

A woman who always coveted everything she has and a greedy person who wants everything to herself, Xiong Zhi knew very well. She must be so green of envy right now. To provoke Xiong Wuyue and drive her to so much envy, Xiong Zhi acted out of character and smile to her smugly. She even moved her hands on Lu Yin Ze's shoulder to his neck and embrace it. It was a simple move, yet not for everyone.

Xiong Wuyue was so taken aback by her smug smile that had quickly gone.

'S-she smiled! That bitch!'

It seems like an illusion. But the arms around Lu Yin Ze was snapping on her control. She could not hide her vicious face. She really wanted to rip that bitch's arm off.

Xiong Zhi was satisfied with her expression. She was more looking forward to torture Xiong Wuyue at any time's possible.

On the other hand, Lu Yin Ze's steps become stiff. His neck was so hot. His face was red and his eyes wandered everywhere not looking at the girl in front of him. He felt it was so..awkward. They had a polite distance earlier but now it's gone. It's much more intimate.

Sensing that the neck she was embracing was turning hot Xiong Zhi looked up at Lu Yin Ze at the same time Lu Yin Ze turned to her.

Their nose almost touch.

Shock by the sudden face in front of him, Lu Yin Ze quickly looked sideways. His heart that calmed down started to run in panic. He was afraid it so loud that Xiong Zhi would hear it.

"Sorry." Xiong Zhi brought down her arms to his shoulders. She apologized because she breaks the polite distance. Making Lu Yin Ze who was a shy boy fl.u.s.tered and embarrassed. She used the other person without his consent. And it was her friend. Xiong Zhi was guilty. She promised she would treat Lu Yin Ze well in the future.

Lu Yin Ze calmed a little when the suffocating arms were gone. He was a bit red but he could now breathe a little. However, he also felt a loss. Like the warm and intoxicating feeling was not that bad at all. He couldn't understand it. But he was glad that they have a polite distance so he could breathe.

"It's okay." He said.

"Hey guys, you two have been dancing for two songs already. Mind if we join you?" Song Xuantin and Gu Zhen couple were dancing beside them.

Song Xuantin was wearing a grin. Clearly happy she was dancing with Gu Zhen. While Gu Zhen was just staring at them. Then stare at the other things except for the girl in front of him. If one looks closely, his lips were pursed and his dance step was stiff. His ears were red as well.

Xiong Zhi and Lu Yin Ze looked around. They saw some couples started to dance as well. It looks like they had been dancing for a while.

When Xiong Zhi looked around, her eyes accidentally met someone and she froze.

Linfeng quickly breaks contact and looked away.
