City G branch of the Wen Group? Would it be Wen Jingxin's family business? Wan Qianqian couldn't help thinking.
If that was the case, then wouldn't Gu Tanfeng's invitation be …
But she had already agreed. Was it okay to go back on her word now?
Just as she was thinking, a WeChat message came in. "9: 45, I'll go to your room!"
"Got it!" She finally made up her mind and picked up a mask that she had bought in a shop on the way back.
It was a butterfly-shaped mask with golden spots on the blue background. It was a mask that she had bought with Gu Tanfeng a long time ago.
"The object is neither the person nor the object. Where can I find the shadow?" She thought sadly.
Looking at the time, she hurriedly ordered some food and brought it back to her room. She ate as she worked. No matter what, she would handle her work well.
Her work was almost done, and it was almost time, so she hurriedly began to tidy herself up.
Just as she picked up the mask, there was a knock on the door. She opened the door and Gu Tanfeng appeared.
"Are you done?" He asked softly, but when he looked down and saw the mask in her hand, he reached out and took it. "What a character!"
At that time, he also said the same thing. Wan Qianqian felt as if her acupuncture point was suddenly poked, and was a little stunned. He wanted to come?
"Did you buy a mask for me?" Gu Tanfeng continued, "Strange, why do I feel like I've seen this thing somewhere before?"
He had forgotten in the end.
She handed a Zhong Kui mask to him. "What do you think?"
Gu Tanfeng smiled. "Thank you!"
Wan Qianqian was dressed in a light pink sand-colored dress and a blouse of the same color. Her long hair was tied into two buns at the back of her head and she wore two large light pink sand-colored flowers. She really looked like a butterfly that was about to fly away.
The two of them left the room and headed for the Shanshui Courtyard on the ninth floor!
There were already people arriving one after another. After the two of them registered, they each received a glow stick and walked inside. "Is the organizer Wen Jingxin?"
"Yes." Gu Tanfeng put some fruits on the plate and continued in a low voice, "You have to remember my mask and follow my footsteps."
Wan Qianqian's heart instantly tensed up. Could there be some kind of danger?
Then, the two of them walked to the side. Under the dim and blurry light, there were already people dancing gracefully.
After eating two pieces of fruit, the two of them slid onto the dance floor.
Gu Tanfeng gently clasped Wan Qianqian's slender waist and gently twisted his body. Their pace was so coordinated that it was as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for a long time!
At the end of the song, there were more and more people, and the lights were flickering and blurring. The mysterious atmosphere was getting thicker and thicker.
Finally, it was time for the ball to start. Two hosts wearing extremely exaggerated zombie masks walked onto the stage. There was only a patch of dim yellow light on the stage. Under the stage, there were dots of fluorescent light, and the whole venue was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
"Ladies and gentlemen, guests and friends, good evening! Now, the Night of Charm Ball officially begins! " Following the host's enthusiastic announcement, an extremely violent breakdance music started playing!
The performers on the stage danced fanatically and unrestrainedly. With the cooperation of the lights, it was really wonderful.
The whistling sound under the stage was unceasing, and the people's emotions were slowly fermenting.
This masquerade ball was to let them completely release some of their emotions that they couldn't fully display in normal days. Therefore, this time, from the beginning, they asked everyone not to take off their masks, so that they could enjoy themselves to their heart's content!
Usually, Gu Tanfeng looked like such a dull person, but he was actually a little eager to try his own rhythm. He gently nodded his head and swayed his body.
"Is it so that no one knows who is who, that's why even the host is wearing a mask to give a speech on stage?" Wan Qianqian asked Gu Tanfeng, who was slowly warming up.
"I think so," Gu Tanfeng agreed. His eyes looked around as if he was looking for something. Finally, he saw their figures. Under his Zhong Kui mask, there was an extremely extravagant expression.
Wan Qianqian looked at Gu Tanfeng beside her, feeling that he was very strange. Just as she was about to ask something, he spoke, "It's about to enter the stage where everyone is dancing wildly. You must be careful when that time comes!"
Wan Qianqian smiled. "Don't worry." No matter how much Wen Jingxin wanted to do to her, what could she do? After all, this was a ball with so many people.
Sure enough, not long after the free dance began, a woman in a long black dress and a husky mask came to dance with Gu Tanfeng.
Just by looking at her figure, one could guess that it was Wen Jingxin. In fact, the so-called masquerade ball was just a chance for these people to boldly confess. It was rare for real strangers to dance wildly together.
Wan Qianqian stood alone at the side, watching the people dance to their heart's content. In fact, it was really quite relaxing this way. And next to her were Gu Tanfeng and Wen Jingxin.
"Miss, may I have a dance with you?"
Oh my god, why was Masao Sakai here too? Wan Qianqian's heart was in turmoil.
"Sorry, I want to take a break." She politely refused.
"Lawyer, don't be so rude!" Masao Sakai leaned over and whispered in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
No matter what, he was also her client. Wan Qianqian couldn't be too rude to him, so she said, "Why don't we sit over there and have a drink, and enjoy the dance?"
"Alright!" Masao Sakai said as he walked to the side, took a drink and handed it to Wan Qianqian. But Wan Qianqian smiled, "I want some fruit, do you want some? Mr. Sakai. "
Everyone clearly knew who the other party was, but they had to wear a mask and pretend not to know each other!
"No need, thank you."
Masao Sakai looked at Wan Qianqian, thinking, this is really a strange woman. Doesn't she want to find her own child?
Not long after, Wan Qianqian came over with some fruit and used a toothpick to put it into her small mouth.
She didn't look at Masao Sakai, but tried hard to see Gu Tanfeng who was sliding on the dance floor.
"Lawyer Wan, have you thought about it?" Masao Sakai opened his mouth, holding a drink in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Tanfeng and the others in the middle of the dance floor.
Wan Qianqian looked at him and paused for a moment, "But I don't plan to jump!"
"Then lawyer Wan, please think about it slowly. Anyway, I have already reminded you. "Masao Sakai's broken Chinese made Wan Qianqian very uncomfortable. What he meant made her feel even more uncomfortable.
At this moment, the song ended, and another song started. Gu Tanfeng walked over, "Beautiful Miss Butterfly, may I invite you to dance?"
Wan Qianqian directly slid over with Gu Tanfeng, not even looking at Masao Sakai.
Behind the mask, Masao Sakai's eyes emitted a wolf-like light, "I will make you all regret it."
Gu Tanfeng and Wan Qianqian swayed gently on the dance floor.
A beautiful waltz sounded, and Gu Tanfeng slid to the center of the dance floor with Wan Qianqian. The two's graceful and tacit cooperation won a burst of warm applause.
Of course, it also received a lot of feelings of envy and jealousy.
Even if he was wearing a mask, everyone knew in their hearts that the man with style was Gu Tanfeng, but they knew very little about Wan Qianqian.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from a corner, and the people who were dancing on the dance floor suddenly stopped and looked over through the flickering lights.
But as he got closer, there was a series of crackling sounds. Could it be that something had been knocked over?
"Run, there are firecrackers over there!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone was a little flustered for a moment.
Sure enough, there was a burst of noise, and there was a smell of gunpowder in the air.
People began to panic, and everyone wanted to move to the door.
Wan Qianqian was pushed by the crowd, and she was separated from Gu Tanfeng. But all of a sudden, she felt something hanging onto her clothes.
She pulled it hard, and in the crackling sound, she clearly heard the sound of her dress tearing.
"Oh my god." She cried softly, and quickly pulled out her dress with her hands, but when she pulled it, she heard another tearing sound.
People were still crowding around, and the lights that were originally flashing actually dimmed even more.
Wan Qianqian was squeezed by people, and she heard a few crisp sounds of fabric tearing. Her heart was broken, but she was squeezed by people, and she couldn't move.
Just at this moment, the lights suddenly brightened.
And a host said loudly, "Don't panic, this is just a small part of it. The firecrackers are fake, and the smell of gunpowder is also fake. Everyone can now check the people around you, and see who is the most pathetic! "
Wan Qianqian felt the crowd around her suddenly disappear. She squatted down in an instant. Because she saw that her dress had been ruined by something, and there were only a few pieces hanging on her legs.
"Haha!" The people around her were all laughing and pointing at her.
Wan Qianqian squatted on the ground like a clown, and she didn't dare to stand up. And the shredded pieces of her dress had long been stepped on by others.
"This is a test of everyone's ability to adapt to sudden situations," the host said, and everyone was staring at Wan Qianqian.
