Jiang Yining walked and quipped, “Lu Zhi, you’ve never been one for mingling in the crowd. Why the sudden change of heart to dance with me?”
Lu Zhi replied with a calm demeanor, “Dancing doesn’t require chit-chat. It’s just about focusing on one person.”
Arching an eyebrow, Jiang Yining teased, “Don’t you find me tiresome, having to endure my company like this?”
As they entered the dance floor, the music shifted to a passionate tango.
Lu Zhi placed his firm hand on her waist, drawing her closer until there was barely any space between them.
With a sly grin, he said, “If 1 found you annoying, would I ever consider bringing you into my life? Truth is, I’m quite taken with you.”
Jiang Yining blushed slightly, but before she could fully digest Lu Zhi’s words, the music took over, setting an intense mood.
Tango was known for its fiery, sensual nature, and their close contact sent sparks flying.
Both Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining were accomplished dancers, executing each step effortlessly.
In no time, they became the center of attention, commanding the entire room. Wherever they moved, people willingly cleared a path, giving them space. Jiang Yining was completely immersed in the dance, oblivious to the curious glances around her.
When the dance concluded, a brief hush fell over the crowd before erupting into enthusiastic applause.
Still holding Jiang Yining’s hand, Lu Zhi remarked, “See, we make a great team.
It was our first dance, and not a single misstep.”
Indeed, their chemistry was undeniable. Jiang Yining admitted that Lu Zhi synchronized with her better than any previous dance partner.
But women could be a bit enigmatic.
Jiang Yining chuckled and said, “Don’t let it get to your head. I performed rather splendidly.”
Lu Zhi responded with a soft chuckle.
They released each other’s hands and gracefully made their exit from the dance floor.
At that very moment, Xiao Lang approached with a warm smile, directing his attention to Jiang Yining. He remarked, “Yining, 1 witnessed your captivating dance performance. It was truly exceptional.”
“Thank you for the kind words,” Jiang Yining nodded in acknowledgment.
Xiao Lang then turned to Lu Zhi and proposed, “Mr. Lu, now that you’ve enjoyed a dance with Yining, would you mind if she graced me with one more dance?”
Lu Zhi’s demeanor turned as frosty as ice. “1 do mind.”
He said firmly.
Xiao Lang scratched his nose and fixed his gaze on Jiang Yining, saying, “Yining, I didn’t come with a dance partner tonight. Would you be willing to join me for a dance? It’s just a dance, nothing more. After all the assistance I’ve offered you, would you be this heartless to deny me?”
Lu Zhi’s rejection meant nothing to Jiang Yining.
She was an independent woman who couldn’t be expected to follow Lu Zhi’s every whim.
He was insistent on her dancing with him!
Xiao Lang, deep down, couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy. When he had been in the crowd earlier, his gaze had instantly fallen on Jiang Yining.
Her graceful dance had captivated him, making her as enchanting as a butterfly, and she was now in Lu Zhi’s embrace.
Although Xiao Lang didn’t want to admit it, he was indeed envious of Lu Zhi.
That’s why he had been so persistent when Lu Zhi was around.
“I just finished a dance, and I’m a bit tired now,” Jiang Yining explained, “but my friend can accompany you. She came alone as well.”
It was a polite way of refusing.
Xiao Lang felt a prick in his heart, but he smiled casually, “Sure, please introduce me to your friend later.”
“Alright. I’ll call her over to meet you,” Jiang Yining replied.
Xiao Lang nodded slightly.
Lu Zhi held Jiang Yining’s hand tightly and said, “You’re tired. Let’s go take a break.”
Without saying a word to Xiao Lang, he led her away.
When they were far enough from Xiao Lang, Jiang Yining shook off Lu Zhi’s grasp and asked, “What’s gotten into you?”
“I’m not upset,” Lu Zhi replied in a cold tone.
“Hmph, you say you’re not upset, but you’re acting like a portable air conditioner,” Jiang Yining quipped. She had spent enough time with him to understand his temperament very well, and she knew that his recent behavior was a sign of annoyance.
However, she couldn’t quite grasp why he was upset. Did he feel challenged in his male pride because Xiao Lang had invited her to dance? But she had clearly refused the invitation.
Lu Zhi fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice, “I am indeed upset, Jiang Yining. You must keep your distance from Xiao Lang, understood?” “We’re just friends,” Jiang Yining insisted.
Xiao Lang had helped her on several occasions, and she couldn’t simply cut ties with him. Lu Zhi’s wariness of Xiao Lang might be due to some longstanding feud between the Xiao and Lu families, and he was afraid that Xiao Lang might get close to her and discover some family secrets.
She would be cautious..
