After Queencard finished her performance, Xu Zhuohua glanced at the audience, whose faces were filled with astonishment, except for Cheng Muyun.
Cheng Muyun stood in the center of the crowd, his eyes smiling, seemingly encouraging Xu Zhuohua.
The second song is the classic sexy girl group dance, Gee.
When the catchy music starts playing, even without lyrics, many people secretly tap their fingers to the rhythm.
Luo Yunqiao found it very interesting and whispered in Cheng Muyun's ear, "Where did Miss Xu collect all these records? It's really interesting, but I can't quite agree with her dancing."
Cheng Muyun remained silent, his eyes fixed solely on the alluring figure of Xu Zhuohua.
The man swallowed hard, suppressing the urge in his lower abdomen.
Xu Zhuohua was sweating, and the gold foil on her face seemed to be radiating light from her own body under the reflection of the sweat.
The dance is over.
Xu Zhuohua bowed and stepped off the stage, then ran up to the second floor like a madwoman.
There was complete silence behind me.
Xu Zhuohua was very happy, as she had achieved her goal, but Xinghua was on the verge of tears.
"Miss, didn't you say that a lot of people would like it? Why do the people in the audience all have that kind of expression?"
Xu Zhuohua wiped the sweat from his body, his chest heaving as he said nonchalantly, "Actually, they all like it, they just don't dare to show it. Xinghua, let's be the first to try something new."
Xinghua squatted down beside the sofa. "Miss, if you want to eat crabs, I'll go to the kitchen and get a few."
Xu Zhuohua covered her face with a towel. "Xinghua, all you ever think about is eating?"
After a brief silence downstairs, people began to whisper among themselves. Some wore expressions of disdain, while others seemed to want more.
However, Madam Cheng's troubled expression set the tone of disdain, and several wives of officials who were on good terms with Madam Cheng came over.
"Shi Jing, this child is too bold, he's really lawless."
"Oh dear, what kind of dance is this? It's indecent."
This was exactly the effect Madam Cheng wanted. She said with a hint of embarrassment, "This child had a very difficult childhood. Please forgive him for being a little mischievous now."
When everyone saw that Madam Cheng didn't take it to heart, they became even more insistent on criticizing Xu Zhuohua's improper behavior.
Several of the ladies were loudmouths, and Mrs. Cheng thought, "By tomorrow, this girl's reputation for misconduct will have spread throughout the entire Xinhai City."
Cheng Muyun overheard these words. He silently shook off Luo Yunqiao, quietly went upstairs, and entered Xu Zhuohua's room.
Xu Zhuohua was changing her clothes when Xinghua stood behind the screen and handed her the clothes.
"Shuhua?"
The master and servant didn't notice Cheng Muyun coming in at first, but when they heard his voice, Xu Zhuohua was so frightened that she covered her chest.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
The shadows on the screen revealed Xu Zhuohua's movements perfectly.
Cheng Muyun frowned slightly, suppressing his desire. "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask where you learned to dance?"
Xu Zhuohua gradually loosened her hands, letting her hair fall down, revealing her slender neck on the screen.
“I… learned shamanistic rituals at a nunnery.”
"Oh?"
Cheng Muyun stared intently at the shadow on the screen; she was buttoning her clothes, her fingers long and slender.
"Does everyone dislike it?" Xu Zhuohua asked.
Cheng Muyun shook his head, "There are some you like and some you don't, you don't need to take it to heart."
Xu Zhuohua smiled and said, "Don't take it to heart. It just means no one likes you, which means the plan has succeeded!"
But you can't show too much joy. "It's okay. Many people don't like me. As long as one person likes me, that's enough. I'm happy."
Playing the victim at the right time might win Cheng Muyun's sympathy, and it would be even better if he gave me more money when I leave Xinhai City later!
"I love so much."
Xu Zhuohua was stunned.
Cheng Muyun's tone was sincere, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether he was trying to comfort her or was really telling the truth.
Anyone can like it! Just please don't let it be this big devil!
A gust of wind blew into the room, causing Xu Zhuohua's hair to flutter. Cheng Muyun stared intently at the screen, his gaze seemingly trying to penetrate it to see Xu Zhuohua behind it.
"Brother Mu Yun?" Luo Yunqiao's voice came through.
Then there was Cheng Wenjun's voice, "Sister Yunqiao, don't worry, my brother might have gone back to his room."
Cheng Muyun quickly left and closed the door.
The sounds in the hallway were drowned out by the wind. Xu Zhuohua was still standing there, stunned, while Xinghua jumped up happily.
"Miss, did you hear that? The young marshal said he likes your dance!"
Xu Zhuohua lowered her head, her heart nearly dead. "I heard you."
It's all over... The plan succeeded, but it also seems to have failed.
How could Cheng Muyun possibly like this kind of dance?
He must have said that to comfort me, right?
He's not the Demon King yet, so it's only right that he acts like a gentleman, right?
He danced with Luo Yunqiao, so he must like Luo Yunqiao more, right?
Right?
Xu Zhuohua nodded emphatically, completely convinced of his reasoning.
...
The next day, Xu Zhuohua's dance from the previous day was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, and the streets and alleys of Xinhai City were talking about what happened last night.
However, the reviews aren't all negative; there are even some positive comments.
"Miss Xu Shuhua of the Xu family can actually speak foreign languages and even compose songs!"
"I heard the dancing is also very beautiful, but we're not lucky enough to see it."
Madam Cheng twisted her handkerchief tightly. How could this be different from what she had expected?
The third day was the same...
On the fourth day, the Paramount Ballroom actually replicated the music that Xu Zhuohua had used that night, but the dancers on stage could not imitate Xu Zhuohua's dance moves no matter what they did.
