Chapter 80 - She Likes Me, Not You (1/2)

Thinking it was Jiang Kaiwei, Du Xiaoxian was about to give him a cold and angry glare when she found that it was Shen Li.

Shen Li was the kind of man who could make people take to him at the first glance. Besides, Du Xiaoxian had a good impression of him, so she only looked at him in surprise. “Mr. Shen…”

Shen Li did not say anything. He looked at Cheng Mingchi with a faint smile. Under his gaze, Cheng Mingchi slowly withdrew his hand from Du Xiaoxian’s waist.

Shen Li then turned to look at Du Xiaoxian. “I’m a great dancer. Let me teach you how to dance! Moreover…” he blinked mischievously at her, “I can even let you dance on my feet!”

At this moment, Wang Qian pictured a classic movie scene in her mind and covered her mouth in disbelief. She sized up Shen Li’s height and felt that it was entirely possible for him to do so.

Du Xiaoxian was still dumbfounded when Shen Li took her hand and placed it on his shoulder. He was like a gentleman, hugging Du Xiaoxian’s waist softly. With a contented expression, he made a turn. Du Xiaoxian only felt her body was rising and her feet seemed to leave the ground. She subconsciously lowered her head to look, but Shen Li said, “Don’t lower your head. It’s a taboo for dancing. If you lower your head, you can’t learn dancing well.”

Du Xiaoxian had to raise her head. Such close contact with Shen Li did not seem to make her panic. In fact, her thoughts were not here at all because she felt like she was flying. Shen Li made her fly with him! Her bubble skirt whirled like a big, blooming green flower, and her hair was also dancing. Shen Li looked at her and smiled. She smiled even more happily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Turned out that dancing was like this, and she had a feeling of happiness!

Shen Li was actually slightly surprised. He had thought Du Xiaoxian was timid. But now he twirled her around like this, she was not afraid at all, instead she even had such a bright smile on her face. She looked like a happy child!

“Is it fun?” he asked.

Du Xiaoxian nodded and raised her hand to touch her hair, smiling at him.

“Feeling dizzy?” he asked again.

“No,” Du Xiaoxian said, “Mr. Shen, you’re really amazing. How can you remember such complicated dance steps?”

Shen Li answered, “Actually, it’s not complicated. You only need to remember the basic dance steps and practice until you can dance freely. I think you have a good sense of rhythm. You will learn it very quickly.”

Du Xiaoxian said happily, “I think so too. They say learning to dance will get you step on your partner’s feet, but I didn’t seem to step on your feet!”

Hearing Du Xiaoxian speak nonsense blindly with her big, clear eyes wide open, Shen Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “You didn’t step on my feet? You’ve been standing on my feet and never get down.”

Du Xiaoxian was surprised and wanted to lower her head again. Shen Li made a fast and big spin and almost threw her away. She was so scared that she grabbed onto Shen Li’s shoulder at once.

“I told you not to lower your head. If you do that, we will lose the rhythm,” Shen Li said, “then both of us will fall.”

Du Xiaoxian did not dare to ignore his words. Besides, she felt that Shen Li was correct. They had been dancing smoothly, but in just a short while, she seemed to have lost that fluency. She tried to calm down and listened to the rhythm. Slowly, she got back that happy feeling of flying.

Wang Qian’s eyes lit up while looking at Du Xiaoxian and Shen Li on the dance floor. The scene was as beautiful as she had imagined. No, it was even more beautiful. Being so refined and carefree, Shen Li’s noble young master temperament deeply attracted her!

“How happy Xiaoxian is,” she said emotionally, “it seems that everyone likes her.”

Cheng Mingchi looked at the people on the dance floor coldly with one hand in his pocket. These people were all well-dressed, but they were actually all shameless hypocrites! They were just lucky to be born in wealthy families, so they could live a luxurious life with everything they wanted. But he had nothing, even if he had been obedient and sensible since childhood and he worked hard everyday in order to live a better life. However, he did not envy those people. He believed that with his own abilities, one day he would be able to stand at the peak of the world and look at those people who had trampled on him with contempt.

But…he looked at Du Xiaoxian and sighed. Even if one day he could finally be proud of his life with satisfaction, when looking into the past, this girl would always be a thorn in his heart and remind him of all the nasty things he had experienced.

Shen Li wasn’t surprised now because he smelled a faint wine fragrance. The little girl’s cheeks flushed and her eyebrows beamed with joy. Her dark eyes seemed to have been soaked in water, and her laughter was ringing like a bell. She was completely different from the timid and foolish Du Xiaoxian he had known before. Shen Li guessed that the little girl had drunk at least three glasses of wine. The cocktail was like sweet beverage, but had strong aftereffect, so now she was so abnormally excited.

Looking at Du Xiaoxian with a smile, Shen Li was actually observing those people’s behaviors in the hall from the corner of his eyes. They were all sneaky, which was definitely not a good thing. He was just puzzled. Were those people’s ultimate target Du Xiaoxian or Gu Nianbin?

Shen Li was not a nosy person, and Gu Nianbin was only his common friend. However, he was curious about Du Xiaoxian. He was sure that such a thin and weak girl was not his type. However, the little girl’s happiness was contagious. He liked to see her smile and her excited look. When she was happy, she was entirely different, fresh and beautiful, like a flower that was slowly blooming, attracting people to admire her.

When a song was finished, Du Xiaoxian finally returned to the ground from the clouds. Letting go of Shen Li’s shoulder, her entire body started to fall backwards. Shen Li hurriedly pulled her back and teased, “Little girl, you’re still on my feet!”

Du Xiaoxian lowered her head and found that she was indeed stepping on Shen Li’s shoes. She opened her mouth wide in shock and quickly got off from him. Then she crouched down and tried to wipe out the shoe print with her hand.

Shen Li stopped her and smiled gently. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll clean it myself later.”

Du Xiaoxian was very frightened at the moment. She mumbled and bowed to Shen Li to apologize, “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean it. I didn’t know…” When she was nervous, her entire body stiffened. Her previous cheerful expression disappeared completely. She became the timid and foolish Du Xiaoxian again.

“I said you could dance on my feet. You did nothing wrong.” Shen Li glanced at Jiang Kaiwei, who was standing at the dining table with a gloomy face, and asked Du Xiaoxian, “It’s late. Aren’t you going back?”
