Chapter 60 On a whim
Add another layer of armor.
——————
"Princess Delilah,"
Cheng Yi respectfully took off his gloves, gently bent towards Princess Delilah, lifted the back of her tender hand, kissed it, raised his charming eyes, and looked at the high and mighty princess with affection.
"It's been a long time since we last met, but you're still so beautiful that I'm completely captivated."
A charming smile appeared on Princess Delilah's beautiful face, and her blue eyes met Cheng Yi's perfect and heart-throbbing face.
"Ciro, you're still so sexy."
Just now, when Earl Dai Wei was talking to Cheng Yi, the guests did not dare to come forward. Now the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous and cheerful, and a group of well-dressed princesses and nobles rushed forward and surrounded the two of them.
Lu Qian stood behind Cheng Yi, looking at the grand scene surrounded by people, feeling very restrained.
She didn't dare to face the scene directly and kept glancing around.
Cheng Yi let go of Princess Delilah's hand and turned the powerful hand over. "I wonder if I would have the honor to invite you to dance with me."
The gesture of inviting people to dance was gorgeous and charming, and every knuckle and angle was full of desire, as if seducing the noble woman in front of him.
The two of them were so enmeshed in each other's eyes, so indulgent and lustful, that even the onlookers couldn't help but blush.
Princess Delilah covered her lips with her delicate hand, and the corners of her rosy mouth could not help but curl up, "My Ciro, you are tempting me."
She said this in a reproachful tone, but her hand had already been placed on him.
Cheng Yi smiled hoarsely, his golden brown eyes narrowed affectionately, "It is you who seduced me, my princess."
The guests around began to whisper.
"What a perfect couple."
"Crio is so tempting, I'm almost aroused by her."
"If it's Chief Tavia, it looks like I have no chance of winning."
"But didn't the Crio boss bring a female companion? And for her..."
"She's just a female companion. It's common for men to act on impulse."
…
At the international court gathering, everyone communicated in English, and Lu Qian could fully understand what everyone was saying.
On a whim...?
Seeing Cheng Yi flirting with other women, she felt very uncomfortable.
It turned out that his extremely affectionate look was not only shown to her.
The beautiful couple, like a fairy couple, slowly stepped onto the dance floor. Everyone on the dance floor tactfully made way, leaving only the two of them to linger in this small world.
The music of the palace band seamlessly switched from soothing minor keys to noble and passionate dance music, and Cheng Yi and Princess Delilah danced freely under the intoxicating lights.
This was the first time Lu Qian saw Cheng Yi dancing from a third-person perspective. The dance steps were powerful and vigorous, with a full sense of wild temptation.
Crazy and confused.
The man's usual coldness and arrogance seemed to collapse at this moment.
Become the embodiment of desire.
Lu Qian was suffocated by Cheng Yi's enchanting look.
He is seductive enough in himself, but this temperament is usually buried under coldness.
And now, he is exuding this temptation without limit.
As the dance steps spun, Lu Qian's dull eyes unexpectedly met Cheng Yi's gaze in mid-air.
There was a dim light in his eyes.
That look captured her accurately across the huge venue.
This eye contact frightened Lu Qian so much that he froze for a moment. He felt like a thief who had been discovered, and he quickly looked away.
Looking back, Cheng Yi's dance steps were still wild, and the fleeting glance seemed to have never stayed on her.
Lu Qian breathed a sigh of relief in a daze.
After the dance, Delilah's face was stained with an indescribable blush.
The most beautiful appearance.
Cheng Yi bent his elbow and gestured to Delilah.
Delilah smiled slightly and held Cheng Yi's hair affectionately. Her long, soft golden hair fell on Cheng Yi's shoulders, looking extremely gentle and charming.
Lu Qian watched them walk all the way to the second floor, like a newlywed couple, toasting to the royal family members along the way.
Lu Qian felt a sharp pain in his heart.
An indescribable sourness rolled in my throat.
His eyes were fixed on Cheng Yi's figure. He wanted to look away, but he couldn't.
"Did you see that?"
Qu Le stood beside Lu Qian and called her back from her depression.
Lu Qian came back to his senses: "W-what?"
"My brother,"
Qu Le casually pushed her dress aside, revealing her long, white and strong legs, and leaned against the edge of the long banquet table.
She casually picked up a glass of champagne, tilted the glass slightly, and pointed at Cheng Yi, who was in the luxury room on the second floor, hugging Princess Delilah affectionately and greeting the leaders of various forces.
"There are many things in his world, and he uses many methods that you cannot accept to achieve his goals. This is completely different from the world you have always lived in."
"I know he's powerful and charming. Even the top geniuses will bow down to him. Everyone will be attracted to him and bow down to him. Men and women, no one can escape him."
"Desire and arrogance are his weapons, and he never hesitates to use them on women, because in his eyes, women only exist in the concept of useful or useless."
So when Lu Qian, the exception, appeared, Qu Le couldn't believe it at all.
"There are so many stories behind the name Cheng Yi, so many that even I don't know them all."
Qu Le lowered his eyes, and a desolate look appeared in his narrow and charming fox eyes.
She shook the wine glass in her hand, and the clear wine churned up and down like waves in a person's heart.
"He rarely gives people a chance, usually only once, but with you, he's willing to give it again and again."
"Lu Qian, you are lucky that you can arouse his emotions as a human being; but you are also unfortunate because you are just an ordinary person. He can't weave an imaginary dream for you for his whole life."
"Perhaps he knew this, and that's why he brought you here."
"He wants you to know that he can give you an identity, but he also wants you to see what's hidden behind that identity. He once tried to give up on you, but as you can imagine, he failed."
"I know he likes you very much, but there is more to his world than just love."
"If you want to leave, I don't know if he will let you go, but if you want to stay with him, you still have a long way to go."
Qu Le handed the wine glass to Lu Qian and tilted it slightly towards her. His narrow fox eyes revealed an indescribable determination.
"But the only thing I can be sure of is that once you decide to go down this path, you will either die together or be reborn together."
