Chapter 367 – First dance with Xie Huilan! (2/2)
Luo Haiting took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat before reach out for that man’s hand. She apologized to Dong Xuebing and returned to the dancefloor.
Dong Xuebing smiles as he saw Sister Luo is so popular among the male leaders. But this is not a surprise as she is not bad looking and can dance well. Although she is older, compared to other female government leaders, she stood out a lot. Sigh… look at others and look at me. Dong Xuebing felt disappointed as no one had invited him. He was still thinking of rejecting others earlier, and he can save all the trouble now.
Just when Dong Xuebing was daydreaming, he saw some moments from the corner of his eyes.
Ding Li had walked up to Xie Huilan and extended his hand. “Mayor Xie, would you like to dance with me?”
Everyone at the ball has been watching Xie Huilan from the start. In all balls, the pretty women will always get the attention, let alone Xie Huilan is the Mayor. People are watching if she can dance or not, or who she will dance her first dance with. No one knows what Xie Huilan is thinking and doesn’t dare to make any moves. At least twenty government leaders want to dance with her to get closer to her and hopefully leave a good impression. Also, who doesn’t want to dance with a beautiful lady like Xie Huilan?
Ding Li had made the first move, and many people turned to look at Xie Huilan.
Xiang Daofa and Chen Tongbing were also looking over with interest. Zhao Xinglong and Liang Chengpeng also turned their attention to Ding Li and Xie Huilan.
Dong Xuebing is mad. He does not have a good impression of Ding Li. The latter had taken advantage of the dancer from the County’s Art Troupe on the dancefloor earlier. What now?! You are targeting my Sister Xie?! If you are from the Sister Xie faction, it’s fine. But you are with Xiang Daofa, and you still dare to invite my Sister Xie to dance?! Shameless! But Dong Xuebing also knows that dancing has got nothing to do with the different factions. Xie Huilan is dressed in black suit pants and a wool jacket. She is wearing high heels and should be wearing them for the ball. If not, she will not be wearing heels.
Xie Huilan looked at Ding Li with a smile and placed her wine glass on the table gracefully.
Xie Huilan stood up slowly and looks like she is going to accept Ding Li’s invitation.
Dong Xuebing panics when he saw this. He has no time to care if he will offend others or not. He must not let Ding Li touch Xie Huilan’s hand. He quickly rushed forward and extended his hand like Ding Li. “Mayor Xie, would you dance with me?” Dong Xuebing knows nothing about dancing, but he was forced to do this.
What Dong Xuebing did had shocked everyone.
Ding Li’s face changed, and he almost cursed out loud.
Hu Silian almost burst out laughing. She felt Dong Xuebing is too much.
Dong Xuebing also knew what he did is not right. He had not invited Xie Huilan earlier, and when Ding Li made his move, Dong Xuebing rushes forward and even used the same posture as Ding Li. This is like slapping Ding Li in his face. Liang Chengpeng, who was sitting some distance away, laughed. “This Xiao Dong can really create trouble!” Zhao Xinglong also laughed. He also does not have a good impression of Ding Li.
Luo Haiting, who was dancing on the dancefloor, looked at Dong Xuebing in shock. What is Chief Dong doing? She had heard Chief Dong is good at offending others. Since he was transferred to Yan Tai County in the past year, he had offended the former Party Secretary, the current Party Secretary, Publicity Department Chief, etc. Today, Luo Haiting finally saw Chief Dong, also known as the God of Plagues, in action. The rumors about Dong Xuebing are all true.
Everyone at the ball looked over to see how Mayor Xie is going to handle both dance invitations. Under normal circumstances, she should be accepting the first invitation.
But Xie Huilan’s reply shocked everyone. She smiles and looks at Dong Xuebing before turning to Ding Li. “Chief Ding, Xiao Dong had asked me to be his dance partner for my first dance yesterday when he called me to report about his work progress. Haha… I had almost forgotten about this. Sorry.” Xie Huilan had accepted Dong Xuebing’s invitation, but some of the leaders were no surprised.
“It’s alright.” Ding Li smiled embarrassedly.
Chen Tongbing frowned and looked at Dong Xuebing.
Luo Haiting is impressed with Chief Dong’s skills of offending people.
Dong Xuebing had gotten used to being a controversial figure and does not think much of it. All he can see is Xie Huilan. Xie Huilan stepped forward and placed her hand lightly onto Dong Xuebing’s hand.
Dong Xuebing grabbed Xie Huilan’s hand lightly. “Thank you, Mayor Xie.”
“Haha…” Xie Huilan smiled. “My pleasure.”
Many people were jealous of Dong Xuebing as they look at Dong Xuebing walking to the dancefloor with Xie Huilan. But they know they can only be jealous and envious of Dong Xuebing. After all, Dong Xuebing was the one who defused the time-bomb on Xie Huilan. If you dare to risk your life to defuse the bomb, Mayor Xie will also dance with you.
