In the circular ballroom on the first floor, Sun Lifang's steps became more and more skillful as she danced.
Lu Jiacheng was like a patient teacher, calmly cooperating with the woman's every step.
Sun Lifang understood that it wasn't that she danced well, but that others were able to follow up.
It's like a beginner playing badminton—
No matter where you serve the ball, the opponent can serve it back to the front of you.
However, her physical strength couldn't keep up, and Sun Lifang's breathing gradually became labored, her face flushed and she was sweating.
"How much longer are you going to jump?"
She endured two more bars of music, her body trembling slightly.
"What did you say?" Lu Jiacheng didn't hear clearly.
He leaned slightly forward in the very center, where the music was loudest.
"I want to go out." Sun Lifang quickly tiptoed over to a checkpoint and increased her voice.
"good."
Dance allows you to change positions by rotating, so how about we dance out together?
Together?
Looking at the crowded people around her, Sun Lifang wondered if she could really get out without bumping into anyone.
"Concentrate."
As the next eight beats began, Lu Jiacheng took a step back, and they emerged from the very center.
The original center position was occupied by another pair of dancers.
It really worked!
Sun Lifang felt a sense of accomplishment and paid attention to each beat, keeping up with the retreating man once again.
After several rounds, they approached the outer perimeter.
As she got closer to the exit, Sun Lifang's breathing suddenly became easier.
Finally, the stifling feeling of being in the middle is gone.
Once outside, I was finally able to pull my hand back and shake my aching arm.
Holding it up for too long will stop my blood circulation.
As she lowered her head to catch her breath, she heard the man's voice beside her, "Mr. Zhou, you're dancing too?"
Mr. Zhou?
Before Sun Lifang could even look up, she felt a piercing gaze fall upon her.
No wonder she felt like someone was watching her.
Zhou Yunshi nodded expressionlessly, then looked straight behind Lu Jiacheng and said in a deep voice, "Come here."
Sun Lifang stood tall and unmoved.
That's ridiculous. You think I'll just go over there because you tell me to?
Lu Jiacheng's gaze swept between the two of them, and he smiled knowingly, "So this is Mrs. Zhou."
He had just seen the woman walk in hand-in-hand with the daughter of the Liu family, and he had preconceived notions that she was a member of the Liu family.
Liu Qing's company owns the development rights to the landmark.
The woman and Liu Qing seemed to have an excellent relationship.
So, perhaps we can use a woman's connection to get in touch with Liu Qing.
With that in mind, he eagerly sought out people to dance.
No one can resist a gentleman.
Sun Lifang and Zhou Yunshi were locked in a stalemate when, after only a couple of seconds, a lively voice called out, "Brother Ashi."
Having said that, he rushed over from behind like a whirlwind.
A bright-eyed young girl peeked out, somewhat puzzled, "Who is this?"
Their eyes met Sun Lifang's, and both of them were startled.
This is someone I know.
People say that pregnancy makes you forgetful, but compared to the trauma of that time, Sun Lifang still remembers the little girl vividly.
Isn't this the sweet girl from Swan Lake Hotel with Mao Weiwei?
What's wrong?
She's attractive to both men and women.
However, it seems that's not the case. The little girl momentarily lost her composure, then introduced herself as if nothing had happened—
"Hello, my name is Xi Hanxiao."
"You two knew each other before?" Zhou Yunshi didn't miss the change in their expressions during the two seconds they looked at each other.
When did you meet?
Upon hearing this, Sun Lifang looked at the little girl and raised her eyebrows.
The meaning is quite clear: it's fallen into my hands, isn't it?
She coughed lightly and made up a casual excuse, "I ran into you when I was shopping before."
Xi Jinping smiled as the heavy weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted with a "thud".
"Hello, my name is Sun Lifang." After saying this, Sun Lifang glanced at Zhou Yunshi and said to the girl, "It's nice to meet you."
This is from the heart.
A person's affection for another cannot be hidden in their eyes.
Xi Hanxiao likes Mao Weiwei.
What are we doing now?
Are you putting on an act in front of your parents?
“This is my wife,” Zhou Yunshi said as he walked over. “She came to see me.”
Looking for you?
You're so beautiful.
Sun Lifang didn't respond, but the man had already taken her arm.
A large, burning palm pressed against her arm. Sun Lifang hugged her arm and shook her body, but couldn't shake it off.
Seeing this, Lu Jiacheng smiled and said, "Then let's go over there and rest for a while."
Having said that, he led the way ahead.
There's a rest area for them over there.
Sun Lifang was exhausted and wished she could find a place to sit down immediately.
Eating fruit and drinking tea is the pastime for a lazy person like her.
But there was a huge human-shaped bandage stuck to him.
Even if you cross your arms, they'll still put their arm around your waist.
With his left arm around a woman, he could still raise his right hand to wave to people.
Along the way, they attracted countless glances.
Zhou Yunshi had a cigarette between his fingers, and when someone came up, he raised his hand to indicate that he had a cigarette.
In business dealings, he would patiently offer cigarettes and alcohol, engaging in conversation with people and introducing Sun Lifang along the way.
Being watched, Sun Lifang had no choice but to force a smile and nod politely.
Ultimately, it was mostly the men talking, and with her waist being held and unable to move, she could only be "forced" to listen to the so-called polite words.
She got annoyed after a while; the fake smiles and meaningless social interactions drained her energy.
Take, for example, the fat man surnamed Wang who's offering a toast; he looks like a construction foreman.
How did you figure that out?
