Chapter 145: 99. Masquerade Rhapsody (Part 2)_2

Although they had just met less than five minutes ago, there was no real acquaintance to speak of.

Dubian Che didn’t believe the other really wanted to introduce him to racing or gift him a Lamborghini for free; it was all for the sake of Jiutiao Meijie.

"I’ll definitely visit your racetrack if I’m ever interested, but keep the car, a gentleman doesn’t covet what others cherish."

"Alright," Ying Sida’s expression showed regret, "be sure to come."

The three exchanged contact information with Dubian Che and then went to greet others.

"Why not accept it? The car Ying Sida bought costs sixty million yen each," said Jiutiao Meijie, her words laden with meaning.

"Sixty million yen doesn’t even catch my eye," Dubian Che laughed as he placed his hand on her slender waist, gazing into her eyes, "I’m not with you for the money, but for something far more important."

"What?"

"Guess?"

"Slick talker." Jiutiao Meijie removed his hand and forcibly returned them to the hand-in-hand position from earlier, "But you’ve been quite pleasing since earlier, whatever you want, I’ll buy for you."

"Really?"

"What do you like?"

Dubian Che leaned into her ear, "I like you."

Jiutiao Meijie twisted his side.

"Ouch—"

"I belong to you, no need to buy," she said with a mischievous smile.

Dubian Che’s heart raced, as he once again profoundly realized the fact that {Jiutiao Meijie was a demon}.

This dance was just as Kiyono Lin had said, nothing special to be wary of; after greeting the host, one could do as they pleased.

If it weren’t for being brought by Jiutiao Meijie, Dubian Che would have been happy to attend just for the experience and to sample the array of food on the long table.

From 7:30 to 8 PM was the entry and cocktail party time, the formal dance lasted from 8 to 10 PM.

Before 8 PM, Jiutiao Meijie greeted various people in turn, and although the topics were even more boring than racing, Dubian Che had no choice but to keep her company.

His demeanor wasn’t strictly proper, but his confidence radiated a transcendent sense that he saw through all the conventional rules, making others never think he was unaware of the etiquette.

The couple was visually pursued by everyone in the venue from start to finish.

Dubian Che didn’t encounter any ’rebellion’, but several girls blushed as they stole glances at him, reminding him of Mayi from the office.

It was truly terrifying.

Just now, it was good that he hadn’t continued to select [Charm: Smile], otherwise, he really might have ended up with a poker face forever.

At eight o’clock, amidst the cozy cocktail music, Kiyono Lin, in a light blue gown, entered the venue.

Her beautifully youthful, dreamy figure finally took some attention away from Dubian Che and his companion.

However, aside from greeting, no one lingered near Kiyono Lin.

After all, being upper class, staying away from the "lie detector" was the wisest choice.

Dubian Che picked up a juice, and from afar, toasted towards Kiyono Lin in the corner who had already started eating, expressing his boundless envy.

Kiyono Lin returned the gesture with a glass filled with clear water and then, like a proud victor, took a sip, her eyes fixed on Dubian Che filled with pride and mockery.

The lights slowly dimmed, and the melody of a waltz began to play.

In the venue, partners smiled understandingly at each other, then wrapped together, limbs intertwining as they started dancing closely to the waltz.

Dubian Che turned his face, and Jiutiao Meijie was smiling at him.

He took a deep breath, made a courteous gesture, and Jiutiao Meijie placed her hand in his palm.

Dubian Che held her slender waist, took her hand, and stepped into the basic waltz steps.

"How do you feel about the dance?" Jiutiao Meijie asked with a light laugh.

Dubian Che, feeling the softness of her body, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and the sweet, moist air exhaled from her mouth,

"Utterly stupid. Better we should just hold hands and watch a movie," Dubian Che complained, then added, "Of course, being able to hold your waist like this is the last thing I would ask for."

While he spoke, he silently recited under his breath the guidance from Kiyono Lin: first beat, man steps back left, woman forward right; second beat, man side-steps right, woman side-steps left; third beat, both feet together...

"Let’s go to a movie next time."

"Did I pass today’s performance?"

"Barely..." Jiutiao Meijie, who had been smiling, suddenly turned cold.

Dubian Che said sheepishly, "I didn’t do it on purpose."

"You’re the first to dare step on me."

Dubian Che mused internally, then faked a jealous demeanor, "You’ve danced with other men?! Right, for you high-class ladies, a dance is just part of life..."

Jiutiao Meijie abruptly raised her heel and stepped without hesitation on Dubian Che’s foot.

"Ow—!!!"

Sweating from his head, Dubian Che instinctively tightened his arms around Jiutiao Meijie’s waist, holding her close to his body.

Partly from the pain, partly fearing that his act would be seen through.

"Lest you forget, you didn’t take my words to heart," she said as she buried her face in Dubian Che’s arms, stepping lightly, "But your jealous look is quite cute, I’ll forgive you this time."

Dubian Che, with a beauty in his arms, felt a sense of relief after a narrow escape, then finally remembered the incident at the Shinagawa Aquarium—Jiutiao Meijie didn’t like others touching her.

’Could it be that she really has fallen for me?’ The thought crossed Dubian Che’s mind.

It was normal for him to be liked; eight out of ten girls at school would want to be his girlfriend, one already was, and the last one was Kiyono Lin.
