C86 (1/2)
The familiar smell of tobacco mixed with the faint fragrance of mint made Jane Fan realize what was going on the instant she was pulled away.
If she couldn't avoid it, she would just face it. Since he liked to scold, she didn't mind practicing her eloquence.
Facing his angry black eyes, Jian Fan's back turned cold. However, he still straightened his back and said, ”Aren't you being a little too overbearing like this?”
”Darling, you probably don't know me all that well. If you and that little man jump down again, I'll tear him to pieces. ”
Ling Chen's fake smile was extremely evil.
Since the country ruled by the law in broad daylight, how could he not have restrictions?
”Don't be so arrogant. If you dare to do anything illegal, I will bring you to justice no matter what.” Jian Fan gritted his teeth, not looking like he was joking at all.
Ling Chen's breath hurt, fight to the death? Did she think he was that kind of person?
The key tone had turned cold, and the air in the hall seemed to have frozen. ”Why would I break the law? I have plenty of ways to deal with him. ”
”Did you forget to take your medicine?” Jian Fan raised his eyes and glared at him. His eyes were filled with disgust.
Ling Chen angrily nodded his head: ”You are ruthless enough.” He missed her day and night, but she never forgave him.
The music suddenly changed to a fast-paced Latin. The older generation all left the stage, and a group of young people with beautiful postures came up.
Ling Chen waved his hand and threw Jian Fan out. Before he could do anything, he pulled her back. He twisted his body and fell into the crook of his arm. Their eyes met, and a burst of admiration swept through the hall.
Jane Fan thought it was strange that her movements were so fluid that even she could not believe it. In her impression, she had never learned to dance before.
In fact, what she couldn't remember was that she had already mastered the common dances at dances during the secret service. There was nothing she couldn't remember. Perhaps she had forgotten the dance steps long ago, but she still remembered the feeling after the dance.
Before Jane Fan could say anything, Ling Chen gently raised his wrist and helped her up. His left hand grabbed onto her white, sharp, and delicate fingers, and tightly clasped them together. His right hand was still on her slim waist as he led her towards the red carpet in the middle of the dance floor.
”I don't know how to jump. What are you going to do?” Jane Fan frowned and stared at him, feeling somewhat anxious. Everyone was watching them. She didn't want to be a clown.
”Trust me, you will.” Ling Chen opened his lips and spat out a few words that were neither painful nor itchy.
The music became more lively, and Ling Chen's steps in the dance became bigger and bigger. The dancing crowd consciously gave way to the dancing crowd and gradually retreated from the dance floor, leaving behind only the two people on the stage who were lost in their joy.
The circular red carpet slowly rose into the air. Jane Fan's high heels were light and hurried at times. Each time he pulled them back, they would embrace even more intimately. Jane Fan only felt that his head was floating, and his eyes were filled with the spinning crystal lamp above him. She was not herself anymore, and she did not know how she could keep up with his pace, his rhythm.
”Darling, if you put on the dress I gave you and danced this dance, it would look even better.” Ling Chen sighed with regret and admiration.
Under Jian Fan's angry glare, Ling Chen forcefully pulled. Just like that, Jian Fan's slender waist was propped up on his powerful arm, and with a perfect lower back, the wonderful dance came to an end.
The music stopped and there was a moment of silence, so quiet that you could only hear each other's breathing and the snap of flashlights. On the stage, which was half the height of a person, Ling Chen and Jian Fan were like two extremely beautiful statues, symbolizing the work of the God of Love.
”Pa, pa pa pa …”
Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa …
Pan Wenfang was the first to react from her shock, clapping her hands one by one. Following that, the earth shook and the mountains shook. An intense and deafening sound of clapping could be heard, as if the two people were going to be drowned out by the clapping of palms.
Ling Chen smirked in satisfaction as he helped Jian Chen up. However, his large hand still did not loosen its grip. It continued to press down on her slender waist, preventing her from moving.
”Let me go.” Jane Fan's red lips moved slightly, using a voice that only the two of them could hear.
”If you want to fall, I can help you.” Ling Chen smiled brightly. His mood seemed to have turned from cloudy to clear.
Jian Fan glared at him and stopped struggling.
The stage gradually descended as the reporters swarmed forward, surrounding the two of them so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.
Ling Tian protected Jian Fan, holding her tightly in his embrace and using one hand to block the reporter's path.
”Excuse me, I'm not accepting interviews right now.” Just that sentence alone was more intimidating than any other security guard.
Ling Chen had a cool smile on his cold face. The reporters only dared to take photos and not speak. After they finished, they left by themselves.
They didn't want to offend this mogul. Their newspaper was still thinking too much. Besides, they had already recorded this century's scene, so their trip here would not have been in vain.
Ling Yun escorted Jian Fan to the resting area, and just as he sat down, a new round of charity auctions started.
Jian Fan's nervousness was finally relieved, and he felt even more thirsty. He grabbed the champagne from the buffet and drank it.
Ling Chen frowned and reminded him: ”You'll get drunk if you drink too much champagne.”
”Who said that? This is clearly a beverage with an apple juice flavor. Have you ever seen one that can get drunk by drinking fruit juice? I don't want to talk to you anymore, little aunt is looking for me. ”
Jane Fan put down his fourth cup and turned to leave.
It was obvious that Ling Chen had finally gotten the chance to communicate with her, so how could he let her go?
He squeezed her hand, forcing her to sit on the inside of the rattan chair, while he sat on the outside to block her path.
”The dress I'm wearing today, I don't want it to get any thicker. I'll give you face with so many reporters, but you better not. ”
One sentence, it was enough to make Ling Chen's chest hurt. Her sharp-tongued rank had risen again.
”Can't you be more gentle?” Ling Chen leisurely sipped a mouthful of champagne.
The waiter came over, and Ling Chen waved for many small ones.
”Your stomach is growling. Eat something.”
Jian Fan wrinkled his nose and rolled his eyes. She hadn't eaten enough for dinner, so she hadn't had enough to eat. Now that she felt nervous, she felt hungry to the point of sticking her heart to her back. At least he had a hint of an eye.
”You're here to donate money today?” After stuffing a piece of cake into his mouth, Jane Fan found a topic to talk about. His scalp went numb as he stared at her naked gaze.
”It's just a business need.”
Tch... Bullshit!
He knew he wasn't that kind, that he was a merciful person!
The host placed the first auction item on the stage. It was a set of the first set of Journey to the West, printed in black and white during the Republic of China period, donated by the University of Hance which Pan Wenfang belonged to.
Everyone started to raise their prices, and the price shot up all the way to 120,000.
