Don’t even mention those men; even the usually prudent Xiaoyu couldn’t help but widen her eyes at this moment, not wanting to blink, as this was indeed her first time realizing the charm of such a dance. The previous rehearsals did not have such a big impact.
With Hua Rao’s every move, even she, a woman, felt deeply captivated by her allure.
Xin He turned her head and glanced at Xiao Bei and the little firewood. The two of them were eating pastries inside the room, and Shulan could not see them from her perspective.
In fact, she didn’t think there was anything inappropriate for them to see, but after all, they were still young, especially Xiao Bei, whose mind had always been pure. She hadn’t planned to let him watch these things so early. Previously, she couldn’t protect him well, but from the moment she came to this world, she had made up her mind: she would protect him properly.
Xin He sighed softly. They didn’t have a mother, so she unconsciously took on the role of one.
Suddenly, a burst of exclamation came from the hall downstairs, pulling Xin He’s thoughts back. Turning her head, she saw Hua Rao swiftly turn around in a spin, finally allowing everyone to see her stunning face.
The spectators under the stage were excited and surprised. Clearly, they have seen Hua Rao before, but now seeing her today, they felt as if she had completely transformed into someone else!
Her makeup was different, her dress was different, and her temperament was completely different! Looking at her enchanting figure, it was like a water snake, incredibly seductive!
The music became more and more intense, but the drumbeat was still crisp and clear. The dancers’ footsteps followed the beat, full of rhythm.
The entire hall was bustling, and the audience below, hearing such a lively and dynamic music for the first time, couldn’t help but become excited along with it. There were clearly nine dancers on the stage, but everyone’s attention was involuntarily drawn to the white-skirted girl in the center because she danced the best, had the most alluring figure, and was the most beautiful!
With the end of the song, a burst of applause and cheers broke out in the hall, "Good! Good!"
Even someone took the lead in shouting: "Hua Rao! Hua Rao! Hua Rao!"
Among the guests who arrived today, many were actually here to see Ah Lian. Just before the show started, many were still complaining about when Ah Lian would appear, but by now, everyone’s attention had been attracted by this girl named Hua Rao, and they had completely forgotten their original purpose. They just wanted to keep cheering for Hua Rao.
It seemed that Hua Rao was experiencing such treatment for the first time, her face flushed slightly, and her eyes could not help but reveal excitement. She looked up in the direction of Xin He’s private room and saw Xin He smiling and applauding her.
Hua Rao, along with the other dancers, withdrew from the stage, and Madam Chen took over, while the cheering from the audience still lingered.
Madam Chen smiled and said, "Everybody, why are you in such a hurry? We have just started, and you guys are already impatient? Why not wait until all the girls have performed before making a choice?"
With these words, the interest of the crowd was rekindled, and a burst of laughter rose from beneath the stage, "Can any of the girls later have the enchanting figure like Miss Hua Rao?"
"As for enchanting, Miss Hua Rao is definitely unmatched, but perhaps you will prefer something else?" Madam Chen deliberately left them hanging and then smiled, "Next, please welcome Miss Yi Ling."
"Yi Ling? I’ve never heard of this name before. Is she a newcomer?"
"Hey, who knows? I haven’t been to the Flower House much before, but if she can perform today, she must have something extraordinary."
"Well, let’s check it out!"
Madam Chen blinked, "Don’t worry, sirs! We guarantee that you won’t be disappointed!"
Having said that, Madam Chen stepped back, and the curtain was pulled up again.
After a while, the curtain reopened, and people initially thought that there would be a group of dancers on the stage again. But unexpectedly, there was only one girl on stage, yet even just one girl was enough to attract people’s attention.
She was dressed in a pink bubble skirt, looking cute and lively. The upper part of her dress wrapped tightly around her exquisite figure, revealing half of her breast amidst her round and beautiful face. It looked very adorable at first glance, especially those big sparkling eyes, incredibly beautiful. But upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of temptation and allure.
In truth, she had the face of an angel but the body of a devil.
The people under the stage were stunned, and there was another burst of commotion.
She puckered her lips and began to sing. The painting style was completely different from before, but it led to applause from the entire hall.
After Yi Ling’s song, the enthusiasm of the crowd nearly doubled, making them look forward to the upcoming performances of the other girls. The entire Flower House was buzzing with excitement.
Xin He’s lips curled up, as everything was under control, and she felt very at ease.
Turning her head and looking back at the room where Xiao Bei and the little firewood were, they couldn’t see the scene outside and were already on the verge of falling asleep. She couldn’t bear to let them stay any longer, so she simply got up.
"Let’s go back for today," Xin He said.
Xiaoyu was surprised: "Madam, aren’t you going to watch the whole thing?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"There’s nothing more to see, as the atmosphere has already been warmed up completely. The performances of the girls have been quite good, and I believe the rest should not be bad either."
Even if the remaining performances were not that good, the guests’ hearts had already been captured by Hua Rao and Yi Ling, so she was not afraid of losing customers.
What’s more, Ah Lian was the final attraction, and she had no worries.
Xiaoyu knew that the madam was just thinking about Young Master Xiao Bei, so she didn’t say more, just nodded: "Yes."
"Go tell Madam Chen that I’m leaving and ask her to instruct the other girls as we did during the rehearsal. I’m sure there won’t be any problems."
"Yes." Xiaoyu bowed and then hurriedly went out.
——
The next morning, Xin He woke up to Xiaoyu and Shulan laughing as they came in to serve her, "Madam, do you know who became the Flower House’s courtesan yesterday?"
Xin He left early with Xiao Bei and the little firewood, so naturally, she didn’t know the final outcome.
"Who is it?" Xin He guessed but seeing the mysterious expressions on the two girls’ faces, she decided to ask instead of spoiling their fun.
Shulan excitedly said, "It’s Miss Ah Lian!"
"Oh?" Xin He’s tone didn’t carry any excitement, but Ah Lian’s fame was well known, so this was expected.
"Last night, when Ah Lian made her appearance, the audience’s attention was already captivated by the previous girls’ performances. But when Ah Lian came onstage, everyone was enticed by her. She won by a large number of votes!" Shulan spoke excitedly, as if she were the one who had become the courtesan.
