"You…… Shameless, hmph, just you wait for me." Liu Ruoxin grit her pearly teeth and snorted coldly.
Hearing Yan Tian, Liu Ruoxin's figure sure enough no longer wriggled, since he was currently playing as her husband, and it was quite ordinary for a husband to embrace his wife. If she didn't stop struggling, she would've truly drawn the attention of others. It had to be known that even her just sitting would attract a wide expanse of gazes.
Liu Ruoxin had to temporarily compromise and allow Yan Tian to hug her. However, as soon as the wine reception finished, no one knew what would happen. Yan Tian naturally expected such a result, so he had thrown caution to the wind as well. The waiting matter would be spoke of again later; at worst when the time arrived, Liu Ruoxin would just ruthlessly pinch him several times.
After the wine reception was underway for a couple of hours, music rang out from the center of the dance floor, and subsequently, quite a few men and women came together to dance on the dance floor. As of now, the wine reception had surprisingly become a ball.
In fact, by nature among all sorts and styles of social gatherings, the one with the strongest rallying power, and the most popular and discussed, was perhaps foremost the ball.
Indeed, the ball was one of human interaction, especially to easily advance the relationship between the opposite sexes, a cheerful and good exterior. In general, what the ball depended on as the principal content was entertainment of the social gather the participants to voluntarily invite each other to dance.
Amidst the elegant musical composition, the beautiful lighting, and graceful dancing that mutually foiled each other, not only could the people easily and freely obtain self-relaxation, but could come in contact with an old friend, meet new ones, and expand their own social circle..
Since everyone was dancing, it was naturally unavoidable to be invited by some people to dance, especially the ladies who would occasionally receive the invitations of the gentlemen. A great majority of the ladies would accept the invitations.
On account of the ball was to make friends through dance, the ladies couldn't rashly decline the invitations of the men. Of course, it wasn't that they couldn't reject them at all, this varied from person to person.
Those who danced were completely male-female pairs, since in a fairly formal ball, same-sex pairs in general wouldn't mutually invite the other. If two men danced together, it would give others an unusual feeling.
If two women danced together, then it was the same as declaring: "no need for the invitations of men", so they were left without an alternative but to implore the gentlemen to "see what was right and act bravely".*
At this time of the dance floor hall, there were already over a dozen pairs of men and women dancing together. As a beauty, Zi Qi was naturally invited, but since the inviting man was Fengan City's mayor's son Gao Xing, it wouldn't be any good for her to decline, so she could only pull her hands out and dance together with him.
Of course, Liu Ruoxin was publically acknowledged as Fengan City's number one beauty by all, so naturally she was invited by quite a lot of gentlemen as well. Looking at the inviting gentlemen, Yan Tian wanted to stand up and slap them twice. He was even sitting here, but they wanted to cuck him? Although he was a fake husband, in the eyes of others, he was the genuine article.
But ultimately, the gentlemen were all declined quite tactfully by Liu Ruoxin. She was a guarded person as well, so she didn't like to dance together with others whatsoever, let alone the husband she had brought with her tonight.
"Sir, may I invite this young lady to a dance?"
After declining quite a few men, Gao Chengwen eagerly came over. Liu Ruoxin was the goddess he had admired for so long, but due to Yan Tian at the side, and it being a question of courtesy, he had nevertheless had inquired for Yan Tian's opinion. If Yan Tian agreed, he would be able to dance together with Liu Ruoxin.
Although a good few men had already been rejected by Liu Ruoxin, since they were all small fries, a rejection was a rejection, it wasn't anything at all.
However, if it was a rather important person, then perhaps it a big headache might come about, so in that case it wasn't good to disagree. To take Gao Chengwen for example, Liu Ruoxin had prepared to dance with him, otherwise if she disagreed, the effect would truly not be good.
However how could Yan Tian agree? Even if Liu Ruoxin wasn't his wife, he wouldn't agree as well. Without any better alternatives, he narrowed his eyes at said: "Whatcha say?"
"Uhh…… Since sir doesn't agree, then I shall search for a separate dancing partner. Sorry to trouble you, my apologies." Hearing Yan Tian's tone, Gao Chengwen knew Yan Tian didn't agree, so he was forced to depart with awkward look on his face.
At the same moment, he didn't dare to say a thing, since he had already become aware of Yan Tian's terrible abilities yesterday. Thus, Gao Chengwen wouldn't grasp any circumstance to fall out with Yan Tian at all.
"It's fortunate you declined him. I didn't want to accompany Gao Chengwen in dance." Liu Ruoxin drank a mouthful of her red wine quite elegantly.
"Even if I didn't decline, it would be fine for you to do so. How could he still want to tie the knot with you?" Yan Tian shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
Hearing Yan Tian's words, Liu Ruoxin couldn't help but to roll her eyes at him: "What do you understand? Could the significance of you declining and me declining be the same?"
Yan Tian smiled, then said no more. Contemplating it over, it was quite understandable for Yan Tian to disagree, since he didn't want others to dance with his wife. However, if Liu Ruoxin declined, then it wouldn't be the same. Wouldn't it be purely based on that she didn't want to dance with others?
Soon after, Yan Tian saw Young Master Huang, Huang Le walking over quite gentlemanly. Yan Tian guessed with an eighty-percent certainty that he had come looking for Liu Ruoxin to dance.
Yan Tian saw him, so Liu Ruoxin naturally saw him as well. She promptly said lowly: "You must not decline Huang Le. This is a man you best not offend."
Just as Liu Ruoxin finished speaking and before Yan Tian could speak, Huang Le had already walked over. He extended his hand quite gentlemanly towards Liu Ruoxin: "Young lady, may I invite you for a dance?"
Liu Ruoxin naturally wouldn't not give Huang Le face, so she was but left to smile, then prepared to place her hand in Huang Le's. Nevertheless, how could Yan Tian agree to let her and Huang Le dance together? Just as Liu Ruoxin extended her hand a third of the way, Yan Tian swiftly stood up and tugged at Huang Le's hand.
"Hehe, so it's Young Master Huang. Recently, my wife's leg has been slightly injured, so it’s possible it might be a bit too inconvenient, so because of it, I shall substitute in for my wife and dance with you."
Yan Tian naturally wasn't afraid of offending Huang Le. In any case, currently, he and Huang Le were already mortal foes, since Huang Le and Flaming Ma had smashed Liu Ruoxin's Porsche last time. Moreover, they made their gang member they brought fight to death. Presently, recalling the gang member who had committed suicide via poison, Yan Tian had a bit of a migraine.
"Uhh, since the young lady's is at an inconvenience, I shall seek another dancing partner in consideration, hehe." Huang Le naturally wouldn't go dance with Yan Tian, promptly breaking off from Yan Tian's hand.
Huang Le departed before he turned his head to glare fiercely at Yan Tian for a moment, and Yan Tian narrowed his eyes in turn at him. Yan Tian was quite curious of Huang Le's background. Last time, he had surprisingly came together with Flaming Ma; could it be that he was a member of the Azure Dragon Group as well?
"What are you doing? You've publically humiliated him now, so he'll go behind your back to take revenge on you." Liu Ruoxin didn't expect that Yan Tian would actually disobey her and reject Huang Le.
"Take revenge on me? Are you certain?" Yan Tian smiled indifferently.
"I'm telling you this isn't a joke. I know you're quite fierce, but Huang Le's family is truly something you're not capable of offending." Liu Ruoxin said quite solemnly.
"Not something I'm capable of offending? How serious are they? Seeing Liu Ruoxin so fearful of Huang Le, Yan Tian was even more curious of the Huang Le's family background.
Liu Ruoxin mulled it over and said: "You should know of my Liu Family, right? In any case, even my Liu Family doesn't dare to offend Huang Le's family lightly. What do you think?"
Liu Ruoxin's Liu Family was one of the Five Grand Families, but the Liu Family surprisingly didn't dare to offend them? Could it be that Huang Le was the son of the Azure Dragon Group's president? Or perhaps he was a person of the Five Grand Families? Mulling it over, Yan Tian thought this could be the only possible explanation.
Taking the last time Huang Le and Flaming Ma had come looking for Yan Tian to cause him trouble, Huang Le was definitely related to the Azure Dragon Group. Moreover, when Yan Tian was just started to apply for the job, Li Yi, the son of the grand municipal secretary, served as Huang Le's footman at the side. That was sufficient to demonstrate Huang Le's background was quite formidable.
Thinking of this, pain rose in Yan Tian's head. Originally, offending Flaming Ma was enough of a headache, but now, Huang Le was a titan of one as well. Then there was Li Yi, Liu Ruoxin's uncle Liu Qiang, and none of them were schmooks. It seemed like from here on out, his life was bound to be unlikely peaceful.
Yan Tian didn't ponder it any longer after he thought of the circumstances for a moment. He would pan things step by step; it wasn't of any use to think of it much more right now.
Observing the men and women on the dance floor, Yan Tian suddenly glanced towards Liu Ruoxin on the side, thinking to himself if he invited her to dance, it wouldn't be any good if she declined. The husband had invited the wife to dance, if he was rejected by the wife, he would truly be a laughing stock.
*Idiom here that means "acting heroically for a just cause" I guess this means taking one for the team LOL
