Ran Xiangsi looked into his eyes and had no intention of refusing.
With Ran Xiangsi’s consent, a faint smile appeared on Xing Chen’s lips.
He took a small step back and made a very gentlemanly inviting gesture.
Only then did Ran Xiangsi place her hand in his warm, large hand, and followed his footsteps toward the dance floor.
The first dance had just ended over there, and their entrance was perfectly timed.
As they reached the center of the dance floor, the brightest spotlight naturally shone upon them.
This ball was all Shang Dongyuan’s arrangements; he, of course, knew in advance about Xing Chen’s attire.
The lighting and music technicians were already on high alert. The moment they saw the man with the diamond mask, they centered everything around him!
In the dance floor, Ran Xiangsi’s heart was leaping with joy.
She looked up, her gaze never leaving his handsome face for even a moment.
She was still wondering, is that him?
As she thought about it, Xing Chen already reached out his hand, resting it on her slender waist.
With a slight effort, he drew her even closer.
The distance between them was mere inches.
Their breathing became somewhat quickened, exuding an endless intimacy, almost scorching enough to melt someone’s heart.
At this moment, the music began to flow slowly.
It was the most exquisite piece, so euphonious to the ears!
Every cell in their bodies seemed to awaken with such melodious music, and so, Ran Xiangsi gracefully danced following Xing Chen’s lead.
In the vast grand hall, the opulence was boundless.
The central dance floor, paved with marble-patterned tiles, witnessed this moment of wonder.
Ran Xiangsi wore a lake-blue princess gown, with a fluffy hem that extended in layers...
Moved by the rhythm of the music, she lightly tipped her toes, her graceful body naturally unfurled.
Her long, black hair, fluttered gently at times and wildly at others with her movements.
When the music slowed, her dance became gentle and ethereal, as quiet and beautiful as a flower.
When the music quickened, so did her dance, as rushing as the waters of rivers entering the vast ocean!
Her dance seemed imbued with a soul, so beautiful, like a pristine fairy of the night!
Xing Chen had never seen her so breathtakingly beautiful...
He felt his breath nearly stop.
Moreover, such a beautiful her, at this moment, right within his embrace, so real, so wonderful...
"In the north, there is a beauty, surpassingly fair and proud. With one glance, she topples cities, with another, she topples empires." He thought, only these verses could match her at this moment.
Ran Xiangsi didn’t stop her steps, listening to Xing Chen’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you praising my beauty?"
"As you think." Xing Chen nodded, with undeniable tenderness and appreciation in his eyes.
Her beauty was not simple, but confident, and flamboyant!
Beautiful... and captivating!
Ran Xiangsi wasn’t entirely sure if this person was Xing Chen at first, but hearing his words now, and being so close that she could almost catch the faint aroma of tobacco from him.
The feeling was so familiar... ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
She was certain, he was Xing Chen!!
At this precise moment, Lou Xining also witnessed this scene on the dance floor...
His eyes turned red, staring at Xing Chen’s figure with immense regret, "I really misjudged you, kid! My sister-in-law isn’t around, and here you are, dancing with another girl outside..."
