365 Son, Ism Your Father 19 (2/2)
The guests began to dance to the melodious music with their companions under the dazzling, colorful lights.
After the first dance, An Xiaoning began to feel a nagging ache in her soles again. Clearly, heels were not for her.
Just as they stopped dancing, Xu Yang and Xu Cai approached them to say hi.
”Long time no see, Xiaoning,” Xu Yang greeted.
”Head-of-Office Xu, forgive my ignorance, but I really didn't know you two were brothers.”
”Well, you know now. There'll be an exciting show later. We rarely get to see each other. Don't leave so soon,” Xu Yang said smilingly.
”What program is it?”
”A magic show,” Xu Cai answered.
”Is that so? I'm looking forward to it then.”
After the brothers left to greet the other guests, An Xiaoning tugged on Jin Qingyan's sleeve and asked, ”What kind of a person is Xu Cai?”
”There's nothing special about him. If it weren't because of his father's authority and status, no one would bother turning up today,” Jin Qingyan said calmly.
”This is so boring. I would rather practise yoga at home. But, he mentioned that there'll be a magic show. It should be interesting. I've never watched magic tricks being performed live, I've only ever seen them on television,” said An Xiaoning as she placed both arms around his bicep and rested her head against his shoulder.
”Since you enjoy magic shows, I shall hire the best magician in the country to perform for you especially in the future.”
”There's no need for that. Let's just go out to watch magic shows together next time. That's practical and wallet-friendly.”
”Sure.”
Gu Beicheng would occasionally steal a glance at them while dancing gracefully on the dancefloor. He began to realize that some things were truly fated and they were indeed destined to meet but never fated to be a couple.
All the guests stayed put in their positions.
The magician then began performing his tricks for the guests on the dancefloor.
The music came to a halt and a renowned magician of the country began walking towards the stage slowly.
The crowd began clapping their hands profusely in awe.
He stood beside a large trunk and announced to the guests, ”I'll be performing a trick called 'The Conjuring of a Human' tonight.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
He then pushed the trunk and rotated it to prove that there was nothing behind it.
Afterwards, he opened the trunk to show that it was empty.
In order to prove that the trunk could not be dismantled from the back, the magician even invited a guest onstage to verify it.
Once the trunk was closed, he proclaimed smilingly, ”A miracle is going to happen at this very moment.”
The audience kept their eyes peeled on the trunk.
Less than a minute later, the door opened slowly and a woman popped out of the trunk all of a sudden.
The crowd began clapping their hands profusely in awe.
The door closed and opened again quickly.
This time, it was not a woman but a man who appeared.
The door was shut yet again.
An elderly lady was seen in the trunk when it opened once more.
The crowd gasped in amazement as they marvelled at the incredible act happening before them.
At last, the magician proposed, ”May I now invite one of you here to come on stage and have a go at it? This beautiful lady here, would you like to have a try?”
He was referring to An Xiaoning.
