Chapter 54

The Engagement Banquet (4)

That woman was so beautiful – beautiful to the extreme. Her waist was tiny, her skin was pale, her face… could bring all men in a nation to their knees.

“Do you know how to dance?” Tang Yu dragged her into his chest and asked in a soft voice.

Pei Qiqi was a little nervous. Her eyes lowered, “A little.”

But she was wearing heels right now, she wasn’t sure she wouldn’t step on his feet!

Reality was that dancing with Pei Qiqi in heels was a trap. Before the first dance ended, Tang Yu had been stepped on four to five times…

Her face hung low and she felt hot. She kept on apologizing.

Tang Yu couldn’t take her behaviour so he lifted her and placed her on top of his feet. He led her throughout the dance.

Pei Qiqi was stunned. Wasn’t this a bit… too close? Plus others were...watching.

“For the sake of my feet, don’t move around.” His voice echoed in her ear, making her tingle. Her entire body had been pressed closely to his.

Pei Qiqi didn’t dare to move. She looked up and saw Lin Jinrong’s gaze. He stared at her with an expression that was difficult to read.

To Lin Jinrong, today wasn’t exactly an exciting one. On the night he was getting engaged, the girl he liked announced that she was dating his cousin…

Pei Huan stared at Pei Qiqi with a stare that seemed to devour her.

Her dream engagement banquet, her dream of stomping on Pei Qiqi… all her dreams had failed…

Pei Qiqi and Tang Yu only danced to one song… all for the sake of his feet.

But after that, Tang Yu didn’t dance with anyone else. At a place that wasn’t too far away from her, he chatted with several businessmen.

He looked different than usual. Normally, Tang Yu acted noble and oppressive, but always appeared serious and focused. He was never as relaxed as tonight.

He merely stood there with a glass of wine. That was enough for him to garner the entire party’s attention.

Pei Qiqi stopped staring and said to Chen Xinjie, “I need to go to the washroom.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chen Xinjie had completely been dumbfounded so she just nodded.

Pei Qiqi walked into the washroom holding onto her dress. When she came out, she had to walk past a long hall…

The fancy chandelier reflected light off of her face and left behind a long shadow.

Lin Jinrong stood silently in front of her.

Pei Qiqi stopped. She looked up, a little surprised. Her lips opened a little…

They were several steps away. But between them were Pei Huan and Tang Yu.

And a love that they never got to speak out.

Lin Jinrong’s good looking lips were tightly shut. He stared at Pei Qiqi with an unexplainable stare.

After a long time, he finally said, “You’re with him?”

Even now, he still felt that everything was unrealistic. Tang Yu was Lin Jinrong’s idol and was the representative of men who refused to get close to women. Why would he choose such a method to be with Pei Qiqi?

He truly didn’t dare and didn’t want to believe.

To Pei Qiqi, this was all oo embarrassing. No matter how much glory Tang Yu brought her today, she will always be the woman he bought with money.

Her lips curled up and her painting-like face was unspeakably lively. She said to him, “Lin Jinrong, don’t I have good eyes? Tang Yu is nice to me and spoils me a lot. You saw everything…”

She pretended that nothing was wrong but Lin Jinrong couldn’t listen anymore. He said with a dark expression, “But he will never mary you!”

Pei Huan and him were now set in stone and could no longer change. But she wanted Pei Qiqi to be happy.
