Chapter 237 – How could a woman as beautiful as yourself not have a dance partner? (1)

The beams of light in the big hall roamed around, flowing all over the place. These lights were as dazzling and resplendent as diamonds. The surrounding lights had been dimmed. Only the dance floor was enveloped in halos of light.

After Mayor Zhou and Madam Zhou had taken the lead on the dance floor, one after another, men invited the women around them to step onto the dance floor and elegantly dance to the melodious music.

Ye Zhen was practically hanging onto Lu Beichuan. He was tightly holding her waist as her feet leaned on his. The front of her high heels were on his shoes. Her right hand was tightly clasped with his hand while she gripped Lu Beichuan’s shoulder with her other hand. Her nerves were tense as he led her move by move and spun her around.

“Don’t be so nervous. Follow my rhythm. Trust me.” Lu Beichuan intimately leaned next to Ye Zhen’s ear. Those quiet words entered her ear and were accompanied by warm breath that lingered at the tip of her ear. Ye Zhen’s ear felt itchy. She suddenly flushed.

Ye Zhen could feel everyone looking at her, making her feel nervous and shy.

Her right hand squeezed Lu Beichuan’s hand, and she decreased the distance between them.

A satisfied smile flashed through Lu Beichuan’s lips. Step by step, he calmly led Ye Zhen to dance in the crowd.

“Turn.”

Ye Zhen only had a smattering of formal dancing. She had only learned the first half of how to waltz. Now that Lu Beichuan had brought her onto the dance floor, she had been pushed to do something way beyond her ability. Her dancing was somewhat shaky and not fully proficient. The surrounding gazes made her muscles tense up. All her energy was put on following Lu Beichuan’s steps. Thus, she didn’t hear Lu Beichuan’s instruction and was caught off guard when Lu Beichuan let go of her hand.

Ye Zhen instinctively tried to grab his hand when he let go, but she was met with empty air. An unprecedented sense of crisis surged up. Ye Zhen fiercely trembled. She incredulously looked at Lu Beichuan for pushing her away. He followed that with spinning her around a few times.

Ye Zhen’s dress fluttered up because of her spinning; it bloomed like a flower underneath the light and shadow.

After three spins, Lu Beichuan pulled Ye Zhen back with his right hand. He used more force than before. Ye Zhen almost smashed into Lu Beichuan’s chest. She raised her head to look at Lu Beichuan. Her heart was beating as loudly as thunder. For a while, she couldn’t calm down.

Lu Beichua ardently stared into Ye Zhen’s eyes. He said, “I won’t let go.”

Ye Zhen’s palms were sweaty.

In that moment when she was stunned because Lu Beichuan had pushed her away, Ye Zhen truly thought he was going to push her away because he didn’t want her anymore.

But now…

She looked up and saw the reflection of herself in Lu Beichuan’s eyes. Under the situation where the music was so mellifluous and the passionate mood was running high in everyone present, she felt as if she could hear the sound of her heartbeat. It sounded extremely vigorous. Ye Zhen was in great turmoil.

As more and more people joined the dance floor, Ye Zhen eventually got it down to a fine art when Lu Beichuan spun her around. Outside the dance circle, a pair of eyes were staring at Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen.

It was Shen Weiyin.

There was someone behind Shen Weiyin. His teasing gaze moved from watching Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen to Shen Weiyin. The owner of those eyes was exercising his restraint to the utmost, but he was pretending to light and frivolous like clouds. He swirled the wine in his wine glass. There was a hint of a mocking smile at his lips. After finishing off the wine in his hand in one gulp, he placed the wine glass on the tray of a passing waiter and walked over to Shen Weiyin.

“Miss Shen, may I have this dance?”

Shen Weiyin looked up at this guest who had suddenly appeared in front of her. “You’re…?”

“Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lu Shaoyan.” There was a faint smile at the corners of his mouth and a light-hearted look on his face. He stretched his hand out towards Shen Weiyin in a gentlemanly manner and asked, “How could a woman as beautiful as yourself not have a dance partner?”
