The lights in the hall were as dazzling as diamonds. The surrounding lights were dim, and only the dance floor was shrouded in a circle of light.
After Mayor Zhou and Mrs. Zhou took the lead to enter the dance floor, more and more men invited the women around them to join them. They danced to the melodious music.
Ye Zhen was practically hanging onto Lu Beichuan. Her waist was tightly hugged by him, and her feet were not touching the ground as she leaned towards Lu Beichuan. The front foot of her high heels stepped on his foot. Her right hand was interlocked with his, and her other hand could only hug Lu Beichuan's shoulder. She was nervous because of his every movement.
"Don't be nervous. Follow my rhythm. Trust me." Lu Beichuan intimately leaned into Ye Zhen's ear. His low voice entered her ear, and the warm air lingered around the tip of her ear. Ye Zhen's ear was slightly itchy, and her face suddenly turned red.
Ye Zhen could feel everyone's eyes on her, which made her nervous and shy.
Her right hand involuntarily clasped Lu Beichuan's hand, and the two hugged even tighter.
Lu Beichuan's mouth curved into a satisfied smile. Step by step, he calmly led Ye Zhen to dance in the crowd.
"Turn!"
Ye Zhen was a dabbler in dancing. She had only learned the first half of the waltz. Now that she was brought to the dance floor by Lu Beichuan, she was forced to do something beyond her ability. Her dance steps were choppy, and the surrounding gazes made her muscles tense. All her energy was focused on Lu Beichuan's steps. How could she be distracted to hear what Lu Beichuan was saying? Caught off guard, Lu Beichuan let go of her hand.
Ye Zhen's hand that was let go subconsciously grabbed at the air, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into her heart. Ye Zhen trembled violently. She looked in disbelief at Lu Beichuan, who had pushed her away, and twirled a few times.
Because of Ye Zhen's twirling, the long dress bloomed under the light.
After three twirls, Ye Zhen was pulled back by Lu Beichuan's tight right hand.
This was a stronger force than before. Ye Zhen almost slammed back into Lu Beichuan's chest. She looked up at Lu Beichuan, and her heart was beating like thunder. She couldn't calm down for a moment.
Their eyes met. Lu Beichuan looked at Ye Zhen and said, "I won't let you go....."
Ye Zhen's palms were full of sweat.
Just now, when Lu Beichuan pushed her out, Ye Zhen really thought that Lu Beichuan was going to push her out and not want her anymore.
...
She raised her head and looked at her reflection in Lu Beichuan's eyes. She found it strange. Amidst the melodious music and the excitement of the audience, she could actually hear the sound of her own heartbeat. Her heartbeat was extremely powerful.
Ye Zhen's mind was in chaos.
More and more people joined the dance floor. Ye Zhen danced skillfully on the dance floor with Lu Beichuan. A pair of eyes outside the circle stared at Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen.
It was Shen Weiyin.
After Shen Weiyin, a teasing gaze shifted from Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen to Shen Weiyin. Looking at those eyes that were trying to restrain themselves but deliberately pretending to be nonchalant, the person swirled the wine glass in his hand and smiled mockingly. After drinking the wine in his hand, he casually placed the glass on a passing waiter's tray and walked in front of Shen Weiyin.
"Miss Shen, do you mind having a dance with me?"
Shen Weiyin raised her head and looked at the guest who had suddenly appeared in front of her, "You are …?"
"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lu Shaoyan." Lu Shaoyan smiled lightly and looked at Shen Weiyin frivolously. He stretched out his hand like a gentleman and said, "How can a beautiful woman like you not have a dance partner?"
Shen Weiyin didn't remember who he was for a while. After the self-introduction, she suddenly realized that he was Lu Beichuan's second uncle who had been abroad for many years.
It wasn't that no one had invited her here. It was just that she had high standards and no one could match her dance moves.
But … she looked up and down at this handsome, tall, and humorous man and stretched out her hand.
"It's my pleasure." Lu Shaoyan kissed the back of her hand out of courtesy and followed the rhythm of the music onto the dance floor.
"Miss Shen, long time no see. You're getting more and more beautiful."
Shen Weiyin smiled. "Mr. Lu, you're getting more and more handsome too."
"The Lu Family has always had good genes." Lu Shaoyan looked through the gaps in the crowd at Lu Beichuan, who was whispering to Ye Zhen. "I thought you and Beichuan would be a couple. I didn't expect … fate to make fools of us."
Shen Weiyin remained silent.
"Although I was young before I went abroad, I knew that there were three major enterprises in the coastal area. The Lu Clan and the Shen Clan were two of them. But recently, something seemed to have happened to the Shen Clan?"
Shen Weiyin's face slightly froze. She turned and smiled without leaving a trace: "Where did Mr. Lu hear this gossip?"
