Chapter 55: Invitation to Dance

When Qu Bai entered, Song Ye was inside the lounge and did not see the scene very clearly so she did not think that Qin Zhan had any relations with Qu Bai.

The Qu family was the wealthiest one in Forty-Nine City, and within the family, there were quite a few people involved in politics. Since Qin Zhan could be friends with Qu Bai, his status must not be overlooked.

She looked down and did not move as she said with special intent. “I need Mr. Qin’s permission before I can dance.”

Even though this sentence referred to Qin Zhan using the photos to threaten her, outsiders—who did not know the actual situation—would think that they had something going on.

Qu Bai was stunned as his hand was still extended. When he saw that Qin Zhan still had a nonchalant cold expression and did not object to it, he immediately put on a playful smile. “It seems like this party was not for naught.” He thought that his brother was in the military all the time and was done with women, but it turned out that he had not met a pretty one that he liked. Mm, this one looked very beautiful.

Qu Bai gave her a high score secretly in his heart as he kept his investigative mindset and walked away with his wine glass, totally failing to recognize the child that he was interested in.

Song Ye continued to hold the wine without her face turning red and her heart beating quickly as she was not at all embarrassed by the accidental rumor she caused. Anyway, she only returned what he had done to her, and using each other would not make him lose a piece of meat.

Less than two minutes later, another figure came from afar. Even though Xu Zihang—who was also wearing a white suit—was young, his peach-like face was very attractive. He directly walked over to Song Ye, attracting people’s attention.

“May I know if I have the honor to invite you to a dance?” Xu Zihang’s voice was tense and exposed his nervousness. He had done the same bending posture as Qu Bai earlier, but his was a bit stiff. He looked like he was not too familiar with it.

At first, he just wanted to find a chance to talk to Song Ye personally. When he got closer and saw the superb figure and feminine, intricate face of the girl that made his heart flutter; he could not help but be nervous. Besides, he did not want to lose out to the man standing beside her.Read more chapters at Listnovel.com

Song Ye knew his intentions and thought that there were indeed some things they had to talk about. Thinking in this manner, she casually placed her wine glass on the table and was prepared to enter the dance floor with the other party.

At this moment—before the thin digits could stretch out, the silent man suddenly spoke. His voice was as cold as ever. “Just nice, I was thinking of dancing to a song. Sorry.”

Song Ye was stunned as her fingers were taken into the huge palm, and she followed the figure into the dance floor.

By the time Xu Zihang recovered his senses after hearing the apology, the two figures were dancing on the dance floor already.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the surroundings as this scene was too incredulous; the tables had really turned. At first, this unknown but powerful Young Master Qin had rejected all the socialites. After more than ten minutes or so, there was actually a pretty woman beside Young Master Qin.

This beautiful face did not only attract the young master of the Qu family, but even the mayor’s son that came out for the first time could not escape her clutches. In the end—after both of them invited her to dance one after another, Young Master Qin still got the lady.

It was not that Song Ye did not notice the gazes landing on her, but her eyes were restricted. She could only maintain her fake reporter identity to avoid suspicion.

“Are you very pretty?” While dancing Waltz, Song Ye suddenly heard a cold voice from above her head.

She was slightly taken aback and furrowed her brows. “What does Mr. Qin mean?”

Sensing the displeasure from the girl in his arms, Qin Zhan was still expressionless as he looked at the wall picture in front. “Xu Fangsheng’s son, who was the one that invited you to dance earlier, should be underage.”

So? Song Ye squinted, and when she was turning, she accidentally landed on the man’s foot heavily. When the other party stopped in his steps and furrowed his eyebrows, she successfully got out of his arms as she pushed the hair in front of her chest to the back. Her smile was slightly cold. “Thank you, Mr. Qin, for the reminder. I still have other things to attend to; I’ll take my leave.”

After she finished talking, she turned around coldly and left the scene slowly.

This was the first time she could not control her temper after living again. In the minutes that she spent with the man, she almost used up all the cultivation she was proud of for the past thirty years. It was not enough that she had to handle him so meticulously, but she was even hit in the head by him before he left.

He hinted that Xu Zihang was underage, which also meant that she should not lay her hands on a child, just because of the Xu family’s background.

Song Ye was so angry until she could kill. To hell with you, Qin Zhan, you are the perverted Uncle, who pounced on an underage child and touched and hugged her.

Qin Zhan, who was single for twenty-five years and never interacted with a woman, was stepped on the foot in front of everyone and was even left on the dance floor. He looked down at the footprint on his shoe and looked back up at the departing figure as he finally had an explanation to the question in his mind.

The reason why he kept suspecting the girl was not because she had left some traces, but it was because her aura and the personality she put up were different.

Earlier, the last look and cold smile that the other party gave him should be her true identity.

Qu Bai, who had found out about the commotion, rushed over and wanted to hear the details; but he could not pry open Qin Zhan’s mouth, no matter how hard he tried. He could only sigh helplessly. “You’re the best. You must have treated her as your subordinate and lectured her. Do you want me to go and find out about the other party’s situation?” It should not be difficult to find out about someone with such an outstanding appearance.

What a pity; the matchmaker wanted to join them together, but the person involved did not cooperate.

Qin Zhan finished the wine in his glass and turned to leave. “It’s okay. Tomorrow, help me find two pieces of jade and send it back to the capital. Then, just say that I can’t leave my position so I won’t be going back for his birthday celebration.”

“Again?” When he heard that, Qu Bai’s good-looking brows knitted tightly. Ever since Qin Zhan joined the military at the age of fifteen, he had never returned to the capital. Originally, Qu Bai thought that they could meet up in Forty-Nine City, but it turned out that he was not going back. Seeing his cold face, Qu Bai knew that he would not change his mind so he could only resign to his fate and do the difficult task. He did not forget to tease him. “I’ll say it first. These kinds of materials aren’t cheap. If the price is sky-high…”

He smiled playfully, but the person at the entrance did not even turn back and said, “Spend as much as you like.”

Qu Bai was instantly stumped by his generous tone and was emotional about how his wealth as a rich second-generation heir could never be compared to the one of a rich first-generation.

Due to the Qu family and the mayor’s appearance at this party in Stone City—when the activity started the next day, it was already bursting with people.
