C16 (2/2)

Song Yan immediately dodged, and replied with an unfriendly tone, ”I already said, it's fine.”

Hearing his impatient tone, Gu Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, and then, she said with some grievance, ”I just care about you … ”I …”

Song Yan also realized that his tone just now was a little harsh, and hurriedly consoled his with a gentle voice, ”I'm sorry Ruo Xue, but I'm really fine.”

Gu Ruoxue held Song Yan's hand, and slightly frowned, ”It's okay, if you're not feeling well, you have to tell me.”

Song Yan smiled gently at her, then nodded.

Lo Lishu listened to the conversation between the two and continued to eat expressionlessly.

The banquet continued. Old Master Gu raised his cup to thank everyone present, and then, the descendants of the Gu family delivered their congratulatory gifts. The ball would only officially begin after dinner.

Gu Ruoxue wanted to pull her along to dance, but was rejected by Lo Lishu, ”I don't really know how to dance, you go with big brother.”

Since Gu Ruoxue's invitation was fruitless, she grabbed onto Song Yan's arm and sweetly walked away.

Lori stood in the corner with her thin goblet between her fingers, looking quietly at the center of the dance floor. How could she not know how to dance? Ever since she was a child, her family had told her that as a daughter of a famous family, she must learn how to dance.

She insisted on learning how to dance until the Luo Family fell,

But she didn't want to dance here, because she didn't want to attract anyone's attention, and even more so, she didn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the Gu family.

”Li Shu? ”Why aren't you dancing?”

As if she was already used to this voice, Lo Lishu didn't even look to her side as she directly answered, ”I don't know.”

”You really won't?” Gu Huaisheng narrowed his eyes, as his dark pupils stared straight at Lo Lishu.

Li Shu turned around and met his deep eyes.

”I really don't.” Lo Lishu did not dare to look into her eyes, and quickly turned her head, and said hoarsely.

”I can teach you.” Without waiting for her to reject, Gu Huaisheng took the goblet in her hand and placed it on a waiter's tray.

”You're not allowed to decline. Just treat it as me helping you repay the debt from before.”

Hearing what he had said, Lo Lishu truly could not refuse. She bit her lip and finally managed to say, ”I'm very stupid.”

”No problem, I'm very patient.” Gu Huaisheng's eyes flashed, and he quickly replied.

With one hand behind his back, Gu Huaisheng slightly lowered his body and extended his hand out in a gentleman's gesture of courtesy. ”Can Miss Lo give me some face?”

Lo Lishu still placed his hand on his palm in the end.

Gu Huaisheng held her hand, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, a light flashed past his eyes, and the two of them slowly slipped towards the dance floor.

The dance music was a very simple social dance. Lo Lishu felt that even with her eyes closed, she could still remember the dance steps that she was once very familiar with. However, she tried her best to pretend that she couldn't dance, so that Gu Huaisheng would retreat if she knew the difficulties.

”I'm sorry Mr. Gu, I …”

”Mr. Gu, I really don't know how to dance.”

”Mr. Gu is sorry, I stepped on you again.”
