Chapter 406 - Reconciliation (1/2)

Tang Xinyang stood without moving. She was confused by Jang Shin's actions. Why he just left her and did not say anything?

Then she heard light footsteps approaching her way. She was familiar with these steps.

Soon after, Tang Yin peeked in and her bob hair that was curved at the ends appeared by the door.

”Sister? It's about to start. You're ready?”

”Yin! Why are you here?!”

The main protagonist of this event was supposed to be preoccupied with the preparations by the makeup artists and designers.

”Well, look at me, I am already done. By the way, sis, Linfeng will be coming, right?”

Tang Xinyang stopped first and observed her sister.

She was wearing a white off-shoulder and backless mermaid dress with peony and rose embroidery on the flaring skirt. Her peach makeup was impeccable, making her face look soft and lovelier. She wore white pearl earrings with broken diamonds dangling on a delicate platinum chain. On her wrist was a white fat jade bracelet with delicate silver vines running over it. She wore no necklace, but it made her bare neck look more slender and swan-like.

Her sister looked truly pure and beautiful.

'This is what a woman should look like...'

”Sister?”

Tang Xinyang woke up from her daze.

”Ah, yes, of course, he already confirmed. He will come—”

”Yes!” Tang Yin cheered. ”Tell me, which entrance will he come into? I will meet him on the way!”

”...” Tang Xinyang suddenly wanted to slap her mouth. She avoided answering Tang Yin's questions about Linfeng since two weeks ago. But now she accidentally answered her at a slip of the mouth.

Now, how was she to tell her that Linfeng would be coming with his Young Miss, who happened to be his lover as well?

”Tang Yin...”

”Hehe, sister! I want Linfeng to be my last dance later at the banquet. Don't let Jang Shin do it. If you let Jang Shin do it, people will think he will be marrying me. They would ship us together! No way in hell will I let that happen.”

Tang Xinyang's previous thoughts were suddenly blown away.

ʘ□ʘ What?!!! Was that true?!

Tang Yin saw Tang Xinyang's shock and answered her silent questions. ”Yup. You're totally out of touch of the current trend, sis. This is a common online trend nowadays. Seriously, why even bother with these debutante balls? This is sooo last century, the times have changed already, geez.”

”...Sorry for being old-fashioned.”

”Humph, it was that guy before, now it's Jang Shin. I think Grandma really wants to force me to marry!”

Tang Xinyang: ʘ□ʘ !!!

Grandmother wanted to let Tang Yin and Jang Shin marry?!

”That's why, you should tell Linfeng that he will be my last dance. Actually, forget it, I will tell him. So? Tell me which entrance he will be entering? I'm going to meet him,” Tang Yin excitedly said.

”....” Tang Xinyang sweated, her head aching at the sudden barrage from her little sister.

To be honest, she was not familiar with western culture like these debutante balls.

Tang Yin's coming of age banquet was mixed with Chinese and Western elements, but majority of it were customs from the West. It was mainly because they wanted to accommodate the large part of the visitors, which were composers and classic musicians who came from the West, due to Tang Yin's career. Besides, it was their grandmother's arrangement.

Thus, she did not know about the 'last dance' stuff explained by her little sister. She simply thought that the last dance with Jang Shin had no real meaning, since he was already part of Tang's family—and her future husband—so she did not think deeply about it.

But it turned out, in the eyes of people, it was different!
