The bald man paused when he saw Lin Yi. He smiled.
âMr. Lin, I know that you and Young Master Qin are good friends, but I didnât mean anything by inviting President Ji to dance. I hope you donât misunderstand.â
âI wouldnât go so far as to misunderstand, but itâs not easy to ask President Ji to dance.â
âIs there anything else you need?â
âOf course.â
Lin Yi pointed at his face. âDo you think youâre more handsome than me?â
âOkay, I donât think so...â
Lin Yi pulled on the sleeve of his suit again, revealing the Patek Philippeâs 175th anniversary wristwatch.
âDo you think youâre richer than me?â
âYeah, I donât think so either.â
âThen why donât you go dance a little? Get lost.â
The bald man didnât dare to retort after being scolded by Lin Yi. He couldnât afford to offend such a person, so he could only leave dejectedly.
âJust get rid of him. Donât scold him,â Ji Qingyan said in a low voice.
......
âLooking at his stupid hair, I can tell that heâs not a good person. Iâm already being polite.â
Ji Qingyanâs heart was sweet, and her smile was cute.
âThen tonight, I will leave the people who invite me to dance to you. You must help me block them,â Ji Qingyan whispered.
âDonât you want to go up and give it a try?â
âI want to, but I donât know how to do it.â Ji Qingyan pouted and said.
âI only learned a little when I was in university. And you donât know, but the PE teacher at that time was too much. He said that my body was made of steel and I couldnât turn. I am still angry when I think about it now.â
âWait, who did you dance with when you were in college?â
âClassmates.â
âYou even danced waltzes with boys?â
Seeing Lin Yiâs jealous look, Ji Qingyanâs heart was filled with joy.
âItâs not what you think,â Ji Qingyan explained.
âThere are a lot of girls who took my class, so there are a lot of girl pairs in class. My partner was my roommate back then, and I even stepped on her shoes.â
âYou have the nerve to say that?â Lin Yi didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
âYou donât have the right to say anything about me. At least I know how to dance a little, while you on the other hand donât know anything. Hmph.â
âYes, yes, yes. Youâre the best, you know everything.â
Ji Qingyan chuckled. âSince my skills are limited, Iâll leave this difficult task to you. If you canât stop those people, Iâll go up and dance with them.â
âYouâre openly threatening me.â
âThatâs right, itâs a threat.â Ji Qingyan said proudly with her head held high.
At that moment, a graceful figure walked over. Lin Yi realized that it was Guo Rui.
She stood in front of Lin Yi and said gently,
âMr. Lin, may I invite you to dance with me?â
âHmm?â
Ji Qingyan wasnât happy at all. She was like a tigress ready to fight.
âIâm sorry, but heâs already invited me. Iâm afraid he canât accept your request.â
Ji Qingyan couldnât reject someone on Lin Yiâs behalf, so she could only say this.
Guo Rui was stunned. The two of them were talking and laughing, but they didnât have any intention of dancing. Why were they going to dance the moment she arrived?
Ji Qingyan raised her skirt and stood up. She stretched out her delicate hand as if she was declaring war.
âLetâs go.â
Lin Yi was stunned. You canât even dance, so why did you invite me?
And Guo Rui, your husband is here, why did you come to join in the fun?
Sigh, being too handsome is a burden.
Helpless, Lin Yi stood up and held Ji Qingyanâs hand. He walked slowly to the center of the dance floor.
âWhy did you invite me if you donât know how to dance? Arenât you afraid of being exposed?â Lin Yi said.
âThat woman doesnât look like a good person to me. She might be trying to take advantage of you,â Ji Qingyan said angrily.
Lin Yi didnât know whether to laugh or cry. Ji Qingyanâs temper was a like a tigressâ.
She was protecting her food.
âWhat do we do now? Are you sure you want to dance?â
âWeâre already here, so we just have to make the leap,â Ji Qingyan said nervously.
âBut donât be nervous. Just do as I say.â
Lin Yi didnât know what to say to describe Ji Qingyan anymore.
I should be the one saying this.
âReach out your left hand and grab my hand,â Ji Qingyan ordered in a low voice.
âAnd then?â Lin Yi smiled and cooperated.
âHold my waist with your right hand.â
âI know how to do that.â
âYouâre going to die. I told you to hold my waist, not go any further down.â
âSorry, sorry, itâs an occupational disease.â
The two got into position. Ji Qingyan took a deep breath and cheered herself up.
A smart person like Lin Yi would definitely know how to do this. As long as he was careful, there shouldnât be any big problems.
âListen to my commands. Letâs dance together and try not to make any mistakes. Otherwise, weâll embarrass ourselves.â
âForget it, you should follow me.â
âYou know how to waltz?â
Lin Yi didnât answer Ji Qingyanâs question, but used his actions to show her the answer.
Under Lin Yiâs lead, Ji Qingyan danced in the middle of the dance floor.
At that moment, Ji Qingyanâs mind was blank.
She couldnât imagine herself being able to waltz to this extent.
However, she also knew that this was all thanks to Lin Yi.
If it wasnât for him, she probably wouldnât even have been able to dance a complete eight beats.
Still, why was he able to dance a waltz so well?
Why did he know so many things?
And she didnât know anything?
At that moment, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan had become the focus of the entire venue.
Under the allure the black evening dress, Ji Qingyan was like a swift and graceful swallow-tailed butterfly, her graceful dance winning the hearts of the audience!
After the dance, the applause from the audience was thunderous. They were all captivated by their dance moves.
Lin Yi brought Ji Qingyan back to her original seat.
However, Ji Qingyanâs nervousness hadnât settled down yet.
It felt like everything that happened just now was a dream.
If Lin Yi hadnât brought her along, she might never have experienced that kind of recklessness.
âLin Yi, why are you so good at waltzing? Have you studied this before?â
âI taught myself. Do you believe me?â
âI do.â Ji Qingyan nodded.
âIf you believe that, arenât you afraid that Iâm tricking you?â
âBecause youâre smart.â Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi with a smile. âUsually, men who cook well arenât stupid.â
âI canât argue with that. Iâll cook you a meal as a reward.â
âOkay.â Ji Qingyan said happily. âBut I canât let you cook again this month. Weâve already agreed that Iâll cook you a meal first.â
âDeal.â
Zhao Zhengyang narrowed his eyes when he saw the two of them talking and laughing.
âDamned gigolo, how dare you set me up? I will definitely not forgive you!â
