Chapter 139: That’s pretty bold
All around, guests looked up at Secretary Gu’s poured alcohol into his head, and could only keep silent.
How ruthless this master was, they have only heard from hearsay. Exaggerations along the way was inevitable, but as eyewitnesses of today’s events, they realized that this man was far more horrible than the legend.
In just a decade, to be able to rebuild his father’s company which was on the verge of bankruptcy, up to the world’s top 100 enterprises, he must have relied heavily on this ruthlessness.
As secretary gasped after downing everything from the now empty bottle, Mu Tianye wrapped an arm around Ning Xiaofei’s waist and whispered at a much milder tone.
“Let’s go. Let’s go home.”
“Don’t!” Mr. Mayor smiled and stopped him. “It’s all my fault for not entertaining that Miss Ning was frightened. Come, this glass is in respect of Miss Ning. I hope Miss Ning doesn’t mind.”
It wasn’t easy to invite Mu Tianye out. If he were to let him go, how could they talk about cooperation in the future?
Knowing that he wasn’t in the mood for talks, Mr. Mayor immediately regarded Ning Xiaofei as a breakthrough.
His assistant already delivered a glass of wine, which Mr. Mayor personally handed to Ning Xiaofei.
The man was the mayor of the city. If she were to brush him off, how could she face this figure?
Ning Xiaofei grabbed the glass at the double.
“You are too polite. This cup, it should be me respecting you!”
She gently clinked her glass along the edge of the Mayor’s glass, as a sign of respect.
“Miss NIng is too polite. Then, I’ll drink first!”
The mayor was very satisfied that she gave himself this opening. He raised his hand and downed his share.
Ning Xiaofei glanced at her wineglass and took a sip.
“Good!” Mr. Mayor immediately exclaimed. “I didn’t think that Mr. Mu’s girlfriend would be this down to earth. I am truly impressed with Chief Mu.”
In a word, the old fritters on the vanity fair, not only boasted Ning Nioafei, but also slapped Mu Tianye in the ass.
With immediate effect, the band began to play music. Mr. Mayor took a step back.
“Both of you, please!”
The mayor's arm was waved and everyone behind him automatically retired from the two wings and emptied the dance floor. All eyes were concentrated on Mu Tianye and Ning Xiaofei.
Ning Xiaofei forced a smile and looked at Mu Tianye in distress.
Offer her a drink, she would drink with her hair down. But this dance, ah, she really can’t!
Mr. Mayor has given him enough face. As one would expect, Mu Tianye accepted the truth of the matter.
His palm gently held her waist as he led her to the dance floor. He stopped in the middle and faced her.
The lights around them dimmed, leaving only the lights above the dance floor.
Mr. Mayor took the lead in clapping and everyone followed suit.
Ning Xiaofei stood under the lights nervously. Her head edged near his neck and whispered.
“I can’t dance!”
“Hold me.”
Surrounded by so many people watching, she mustn’t jump in this dance. Otherwise, losing face for this man, she couldn’t afford it.
Ning Xiaofei dared not neglect. She lifted her arms and wrapped it around his waist right away – Too nervous to look at others dancing, she held tightly and forgot what should be done in a dance.
Feeling two soft arms surrounding his waist, Mu Tianye helplessly raised a brow.
How were they to dance this way?
Taking hold of her arms, he gently raised it and put it on his shoulders. He once again rested a palm on her lower back, lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.
“Back, right leg!”
“That…” Ning Xiaofei whispered back, “Which side is right?”
