At this moment, in the center of the dance floor, the music began to play.
It was a slow-paced song from Lu Country by Alemand.
Tang Zhong held Jiang Weiwei close and began to move with the music.
Their steps were slow.
"Be careful!" Tang Zhong cautioned.
"Mhm!" Jiang Weiwei nodded.
The dancers in the center of the floor also started to move at this moment.
Tang Zhong and Jiang Weiwei embraced each other closely.
"Be careful..." said Tang Zhong.
He could tell that Jiang Weiwei was not familiar with this dance, for she had stepped on his feet several times. However, relying on Tang Zhong’s exquisite dancing skills, he was able to save the situation each time.
"You really can dance!" Jiang Weiwei exclaimed in surprise.
"Did you think I was lying to you!" Tang Zhong laughed.
The music started off slow, but suddenly, the tempo picked up.
It turned into a tango.
Many people in the center of the dance floor hadn’t expected the music to change so suddenly.
One by one, their steps became frantic.
Some stepped on their partners’ feet, others failed to hold their partners properly,
resulting in both tumbling to the ground.
Seeing this from the side of the dance floor, the emcee laughed and said, "This dance party is different from others. The music may suddenly change, after all, there is that one lavender basket, right after that one!"
The failed dancers could only sigh as they left the dance floor.
After all, they only had one chance to compete.
From the originally twenty-some pairs of dancers, several pairs were now immediately eliminated.
Jiang Weiwei had almost panicked just now, and if it hadn’t been for Tang Zhong, she would have fallen.
The tango music sounded.
Tang Zhong began to spin again, holding Jiang Weiwei’s hand and swinging her out. All one could see was Jiang Weiwei spinning several times on the spot, about to fall to the ground.
Tang Zhong reached out and caught Jiang Weiwei, then with a strong pull, everyone saw Jiang Weiwei return along her original path, all the way into Tang Zhong’s arms.
This was one of the most difficult moves in a tango.
It required good coordination between the man and the woman to complete.
The onlookers around them widened their eyes when they saw Tang Zhong and Jiang Weiwei.
"Damn... Am I seeing this right!"
"You’re not seeing it wrong!"
"These two must really be tango martial artists; no one at our dance parties dances this well!"
Jiang Weiwei was also scared, looking at Tang Zhong, her heart racing faster.
"Just focus and it will be fine!" Tang Zhong said.
"Mhm!" Jiang Weiwei nodded.
Next came various dance genres, ballet...
And several more pairs were eliminated directly.
Tang Zhong and his partner were one step closer to winning the championship.
Because there were only two pairs of dancers left on the floor, one of which was Tang Zhong and Jiang Weiwei, and the other pair, standard ballet dancers.
And then, at that moment, suddenly.
"The blue horizon is my love..."
The moment this song started, the whole place nearly erupted—this was not a square dance.
They were actually playing square dance music here.
Everyone was stunned.
Seeing the astonished expressions of the crowd, the emcee quickly explained, "This dance party brings together major dance styles, and so square dance has been included..."
The pair of ballet dancers were somewhat dumbfounded at this moment, originally aiming for the championship, but now there was no chance, they could only sigh with their mouths open.
Meanwhile, Tang Zhong and Jiang Weiwei started dancing again.
Within the entire dance floor, only the two of them were present, their movements so remarkably alike that at a glance, they seemed to be a pair.
As the music came to a close.
The emcee began to shout, "The stars of today’s dance are the two people in the center of the dance floor right now, let’s cheer for them!"
The emcee led the applause.
However, the surrounding onlookers were not clapping. Some people had been determined to get the lavender basket, and now it had been snatched away by others.
It should be noted, most of those attending the dance were socialites and wealthy ladies, asking them to applaud for someone else was simply out of the question.
Then, as everyone watched Tang Zhong and Jiang Weiwei, some recognized Jiang Weiwei, and several socialites gathered together, whispering amongst themselves.
"Isn’t... isn’t that the Crown Princess Consort of the Crown Prince’s Club?"
"Are you talking about the recently rising Crown Prince’s Club?"
"The woman looks good, but who is that man? He looks quite ordinary and doesn’t have any branded clothing on!"
Even more people were quite displeased with Jiang Weiwei getting the lavender basket.
At this moment, Tang Zhong led Jiang Weiwei out from the center of the dance floor, becoming the focus of everyone’s attention.
"I said I’d definitely get you the basket, look, isn’t it in our hands now?" Tang Zhong said, smiling.
"Mm!" Jiang Weiwei nodded.
The emcee approached with the basket, "Madam, hello..."
The huge lavender basket not only radiated fragrance but also surprisingly had a butterfly perched on it.
"Hello!" Jiang Weiwei, looking at the basket, her eyes sparkled, which woman doesn’t like flowers?
As she took the basket, the butterfly inside suddenly fluttered away and then landed on Jiang Weiwei’s shoulder.
"You have won this lavender basket, and you have also become the best couple of the night. Do you have anything you’d like to say?" the emcee asked.
"I... I want to say that I feel the person next to me..." Jiang Weiwei said with a smile.
Her happiness at this moment was unparalleled.
If Tang Zhong were to propose to her right here tonight, it couldn’t be more perfect.
Just then, a loud voice suddenly came from outside.
"I’ll take their flowers!" In the inner hall,
Three people walked in.
Among them, a man and a woman were Zhao Chuanxiong and the model they had seen in the parking lot earlier, and the other person who spoke, likely in his twenties, was now wearing a white suit.
The moment the three made their appearance, they instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
The socialites and noble ladies present couldn’t help but light up, their gaze finally resting on the man in the white suit.
"It’s him, he’s finally here!"
Many had attended the dance precisely to see Leino, and those single socialites couldn’t hide the starry-eyed glow in their eyes.
But everyone was puzzled as to why Leino had suddenly shown up.
Leino, who was tall, handsome, and wealthy, was the namesake of Leino Hotel. The dance had been his idea, inviting others to participate.
The lavender basket was purchased by him at a great cost.
Tang Zhong and Jiang Weiwei frowned slightly upon hearing the commotion.
The emcee, seeing his boss and hearing Leino’s words, hastily snatched the lavender basket from Jiang Weiwei’s hands, "Sorry, miss, we gave it to the wrong person!"
"This... this!" Jiang Weiwei started to feel distressed.
"No worries!" Tang Zhong held Jiang Weiwei’s hand firmly, "It’s just a basket of flowers. I’ll send you a peach orchard in the future!"
"Mm!" Jiang Weiwei nodded emphatically.
Then Tang Zhong gazed ahead, his eyes gradually narrowing. They could do without the basket, but there ought to be an explanation for why it was taken away.
When he saw Zhao Chuanxiong, Tang Zhong understood everything.
Today, for the second time, he had been upset by the man in front of him.
