Speak of the devil!
Chen Xiaxuan smiled and said," Nothing. I just chased away a bunch of annoying flies." And then the bees came again."
"Fly? Bees!" Lu Xingluan frowned. A crisp voice came from the other end." Second Young Master, can I invite you to dance first tonight?"”
The two of them looked up and saw a young girl in a light yellow dress standing in front of them.
"And you are?" While Lu Xingluan was still confused, the girl went up and hooked her arm around his, then threw a provocative look at Chen Xiaxuan." I'm sorry, Second Master. I'll take you away first."”
Lu Xingluan looked at Chen Xiaxuan. If she dared to agree, he would teach her a lesson later.
Ignoring his warning gaze, Chen Xiaxuan smiled and said," It's okay. Take your time.”It would be best if she could dance until the end of the dance party. Then, her mission for the day would be considered complete.
Lu Xingluan saw through Chen Xiaxuan's little thoughts. He raised his eyes and glanced at a certain place without batting an eyelid.
Shen Liao eagerly ran over from the other end with a wine glass in his hand.
" I'm sorry…" He ran straight to Quan Qingyu who was standing beside Lu Xingluan and pretended to spill the wine on her." I'm sorry, it's my fault."”
Just as Quan Qingyu was happily hugging Lu Xingluan, she was suddenly bumped into by a reckless person. He even splashed wine all over her and ruined her dress. She immediately cried out in panic.
"Boohoo, my new dress." Quan Qingyu was most upset that she had embarrassed herself in front of the man she cared about the most. This time, she had lost all her face.
"Look at you. You're so clumsy. Take Miss Quan to the changing room and change Yiyi into her spare clothes.”Lu Xingluan glanced in Lin Yiyi's direction. She was so scared that she shrank her head back, looking guilty.
"Yes." Shen Liao braced himself. Under Quan Qingyu's tears and Lu Xingluan's cold gaze, he endured the pressure and asked her to leave.
This is fine too!
Chen Xiaxuan stood at the best angle and saw everything that had just happened clearly. Everything was Lu Xingluan's doing!
Just as she was thinking about it, Lu Xingluan walked over and took her hand without any explanation, leading her to the lounge at the side.
"Hey, where are you taking me? The ball is about to start…"
Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Xingluan pulled her into a room and locked the door, trapping her between the door and his body.
"What are you doing?" Chen Xiaxuan was pressed against his chest, her face almost touching his chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, her heart raced.
"From your expression, you seem very disappointed?”Lu Xingluan reached out to lift her chin and looked down at her." Are you trying to push me away so badly?”
Their breaths intertwined with each other.
"I wouldn't dare." Chen Xiaxuan could feel her heart beating faster and faster. His scent of grass was everywhere. Sometimes, this man was as cold as an adult, but sometimes, he was like a child who liked to mess around. However, she generally understood that he could be cold and heartless when facing enemies, but when it came to relationships between men and women, he was like a child who liked to mess around. In short, he had a high IQ and low EQ.
"And when you don't dare to, it's really rare.”Lu Xingluan saw that she had shrunk her head and wanted to shirk the responsibility again, so he decided to get straight to the point with her." I invited you to the banquet tonight not only because I want you to be my dance partner, but more importantly…"
He paused and looked down at her.
Chen Xiaxuan suddenly had a bad feeling when he stared at her. She asked with a sour face," Can I not listen?”
Why did he want her to be his shield? Since he didn't like being manipulated by others, he could have rejected her on the spot.
She really didn't like the feeling of being toyed with. She really didn't like it!
"You have to listen to me carefully!”Lu Xingluan didn't like the way she was avoiding him. It made him feel uncomfortable. He pulled her hands off her ears and forced her to look at him." Tonight, I think you can…"
She could be his girlfriend so that she could help him block other people's courtship attacks. Was that what she meant?
"I know. I will do it. So, can you let go of me now?”Chen Xiaxuan really didn't want to hear the rest of his words. Sometimes, the truth was often sad, just like how she loved Mu Xiangming one-sidedly in the past, but in return, he betrayed her.
"You can do it?" Lu Xingluan was a little confused when he saw her serious look. The old man wanted him to make a decision tonight and choose a woman to marry. No matter who he chose, as long as they could pass the old man's test, the old man would nod and agree to their marriage.
And the woman he chose was…Lu Xingluan asked suspiciously," You really know everything?”
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart felt stuffy.
"Yes, sir!" Chen Xiaxuan turned her face away and did not look into his eyes. A pang of sadness spread in her heart. Wasn't he just a shield? It wasn't like she hadn't been a shield before. It wouldn't be a problem for her to take a few hits!
She could hold on!
Lu Xingluan felt that she might have misunderstood him. Looking at her sour expression, he knew that she had misunderstood.
"Look at me and listen carefully to what I have to say!”Lu Xingluan cupped her little face and forced her to look into his eyes. Looking at her red eyes, Lu Xingluan felt his heart ache a little. His slightly rough fingers gently slid across the corner of her eyes, and his tone was a little soft." What's wrong? Are you sad?"”
"Who said that!" She had also learned to be stubborn.
Looking at her, Lu Xingluan smiled." Are you jealous?”
"What I like to eat is none of your business. Are you done talking?”His breath lingered around her nose, and Chen Xiaxuan felt like she had nowhere to hide under his gaze. She was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a place to hide." If you're done talking, move away."”
"Is it so difficult for you to be my wife?”Lu Xingluan did not like her ostrich mentality. He liked to force her to face reality. Only then could she escape from her little 'safe house' and come into his arms.
This was the first time he wanted to love and protect a woman since 'she' disappeared.
"What?" His words were like a deep water bomb, setting off a huge wave in Chen Xiaxuan's heart. She was so surprised that her jaw almost fell to the ground.
Heavens, he wanted to marry her!
Did she hear wrongly? She must have heard wrongly. She must have!
This news was too shocking. Chen Xiaxuan was so scared that her face turned pale.
Lu Xingluan reached out and closed her chin silently, hugging her tightly." Little fool, this news makes you so happy?”She was happy, and he was happy too. For the first time, their hearts finally matched.
Which eye of his was happy to see her?!
She was shocked!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:39PM
