Chapter 868: Timely Rain!
Just when Huo Siyu didn’t know what to do, caught between a rock and a hard place, Jian Dan’s voice suddenly appeared.
Following the sound, Jian Dan was seen wearing a pink princess dress, her hair styled in a simple bun. She looked just like an adorable elf.
With a confident smile, she slowly walked towards him…
Of course, aside from Huo Siyu, everyone present also turned their gaze towards Jian Dan.
But Jian Dan did not show the slightest hint of timidity under people’s stares. She continued to smile confidently, as if those people didn’t exist at all.
“Siyu, I just got caught in a huge traffic jam on my way here, that’s why I’m late. Are you mad at me?” Jian Dan deliberately used a coquettish tone.
That voice was so sweet it could almost make people’s bones melt.
Huo Siyu hadn’t expected Jian Dan to talk to him like that.
But the next second, he instantly got into character, “How could I be mad? I should have picked you up. It’s all my fault!” Huo Siyu walked up to Jian Dan, lifting his hand to gently stroke her hair, his movements as tender as if he were touching a rare treasure.
Jian Dan looked up and met Huo Siyu’s eyes. In the moment their gazes locked, the corners of their mouths both curved into a smile.
To outsiders, this smile might look like lovers teasing each other, but in their eyes, it was a mutual acknowledgment: ‘Not bad acting, huh!’
‘The feeling is mutual!’
As they were still looking into each other’s eyes, Jian Dan suddenly felt a chilling gaze fixed on her.
Tan Anqi was staring at her fiercely.
If it were any other day, Jian Dan would have stared back, but today she was Huo Siyu’s date, so naturally…
“Siyu, the way she’s looking at me~ I’m so scared!” Jian Dan nestled into Huo Siyu’s arms with a delicate expression.
“It’s okay, it’s okay! Little sister Anqi means no harm! Right, little sister Anqi?” Huo Siyu soothed Jian Dan’s back with one hand while speaking softly.
Tan Anqi, after hearing Huo Siyu’s words, immediately dropped her malevolent gaze, replacing it with one that was tender and soft. “Of course, big brother Siyu. She’s your date. How could I harbor any ill will toward her?” Tan Anqi reclaimed her earlier elegance.
Hiding in Huo Siyu’s arms, Jian Dan couldn’t help but admire that the best actor was actually herself!
“See, I told you little sister Anqi means no harm!” Huo Siyu continued to comfort Jian Dan’s back.
Only then did Jian Dan slowly come out from Huo Siyu’s embrace, “Then I must have been mistaken!”
“Alright, let’s go!” Huo Siyu gestured invitingly.
Jian Dan gracefully crouched down a little, placing her hand in Huo Siyu’s.
Huo Siyu led Jian Dan slowly toward the center of the dance floor.
Tan Anqi watched the two with venomous eyes.
And the expressions on the faces of Huo Siyu’s uncles were as ugly as if they had eaten something foul.
As the music started, Huo Siyu and Jian Dan began to dance slowly…
“I thought you wouldn’t make it,” Huo Siyu said in a volume only the two of them could hear.
“I promised you, how could I not come?
However, today’s traffic jam, I suspect it might have been orchestrated,” how could such a severe traffic jam happen without a major accident? Especially since Jian Dan had seen there was nothing of the sort on her way.
“How did you manage to get here then?”
“Of course, it’s because I look so cute!” Jian Dan lifted her head and replied.
Huo Siyu was slightly taken aback after hearing her words~
“Do you really believe it? Haha~
I met a sister I knew, and she gave me a ride over!”
“Siyu, you’re too cute!”
“Thank you, Jian. If you hadn’t made it in time, I wouldn’t know what to have done!”
“Between friends, that word is unnecessary! Remember, you’re not allowed to say it again!”
Huo Siyu nodded with a smile…
Because others could not hear their conversation, to them, the pair looked like they were shamelessly showing affection in public!
Tan Anqi’s hands were clenched tightly together, “This woman has no shame, flirting with brother Siyu right in front of everyone!”
By now, Jian Dan had become the thorn in Tan Anqi’s side, someone she had to get rid of as quickly as possible…
