Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Knocking at the Door at Midnight (1)_1

Not only that, she also wanted to assert her sovereignty...

As her thoughts rambled to this point, Xia Wan’an tilted her head and glanced at Han Jingnian, who was baffled and frozen by her sudden call of "Husband". She spoke again, "Husband..."

Han Jingnian blinked, and after stupefied for a while, finally he realized it wasn’t his imagination but a reality. He then slowly turned his head towards Xia Wan’an.

His dark eyes, deep and unfathomable, but in the deepest darkness, there seemed to be a dazzling light flickering.

Catching his gaze, Xia Wan’an curvaceously smiled, "I want to dance..."

"Sure."

Han Jingnian agreed without hesitation.

He stared at Xia Wan’an for a good dozen seconds before he realized what she had just said, then extended his arm for her to grasp. Once she did, he led her onto the dance floor.

As the music started, Xia Wan’an held onto Han Jingnian’s arm with one hand and put the other on his shoulder, dancing gently to his rhythm.

Although the Xia Family couldn’t rival the grandeur of the Chi Family, Xia Wan’an’s mother had been a dance teacher. As a child, Xia Wan’an learned dancing from her mother for a few years. Perhaps inheriting her mother’s talent, Xia Wan’an, despite not having worked hard in dancing, showed a particular grace. As for Han Jingnian, he received professional training in dancing since childhood for social etiquette’s sake. Although it was the first time they danced together, they moved in harmony as if they had practiced thousands of times privately.

Xia Wan’an wore a long gown with a large hemline that made her look extraordinarily elegant when dancing.

As Han Jingnian and Xia Wan’an danced faster and faster, when she passed a vase placed beside the dance floor, she casually plucked a vivid, blooming rose, holding it in her mouth. Keeping pace with Han Jingnian, she danced on her toes, spinning and leaping with elegance and grace.

When the music ended, Han Jingnian took her by the waist and slowly came to a halt.

Throughout their dance, their gaze never left each other. Just when everyone thought they were going to separate, Xia Wan’an suddenly stood on her toes, moving her lips close to Han Jingnian’s. Understanding her hint, he took the rose from her mouth.

Only then Xia Wan’an twirled and positioned herself beside Han Jingnian, wrapping her arms around his arm. Beaming, she walked off the dance floor with him, amid a round of applause.

Throughout their exit from the dance floor, whispers found their way into Xia Wan’an’s ears.

"So, this lady is Mrs. Han."

"No wonder Mr. Han cares for her so much. This is the first time in so many years I’ve seen Mr. Han being so intimate with a woman..."

"..."

Amidst the chatters, Xia Wan’an glanced over at Chi Mu as she walked past her.

This time, Xia Wan’an’s eyes meeting Chi Mu’s were highly aggressive. Her beautiful dark eyes were full of defiance and challenge.

Chi Mu, holding her wine glass, bore a dreadfully cold expression, her eyes seemingly venomous.

After locking eyes with Xia Wan’an for a while, Chi Mu abruptly raised her glass, downed all the wine, and handed the empty glass to someone beside her. She then walked up to the stage in her high heels, "Good evening everyone, I’m Chi Mu. I’m delighted to have all of you here at my welcome party. I have prepared a special surprise for you tonight..."
