Chapter 497: The Dust Has Not Settled… (1/2)

The atmosphere between the two people instantly grew cold at Xue Ying's question. For a moment, Bai Xiaofei didn't know what to say.

“Please welcome our main character tonight, Qin Lingyan!”

At that time, Bai Ye, the host of the night’s coming-of-age ceremony came on stage and attracted everyone's attention. Soon after, Qin Lingyan walked up slowly in her beautiful blue dress. All ongoing conversations stopped as everyone looked over with praising eyes.

“Thank you very much for attending my coming-of-age ceremony. I hope my hospitality has not disappointed you. If you have a chance to visit Violethorn in the future, come to me and I will make you feel at home!” Qin Lingyan said and bowed slightly.

At the end of her speech, Bai Ye went up again. Bai Xiaofei didn’t know if it was just an illusion, but he saw Bai Ye cast him a strange glance while walking up on stage.

“Next is tonight’s most exciting moment. Which man present will be lucky enough to receive the favor of our star and become her dance partner?” Bai Ye aroused everyone's interest.

The eyes of most men present instantly shone. Being invited by Qin Lingyan to her coming-of-age ceremony already made them feel special about themselves.

However, Bai Xiaofei's state of mind was completely different…

Gulping, he finally knew where his worries came from. Looking towards Hu Xian’er and the girls, he harvested a bunch of murderous glares.

It definitely will be Bai Xiaofei! This was the consensus in the hearts of the girls. Moreover, they couldn’t even stop him on such an occasion…

Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Lingyan slowly walked down from the stage, and sure enough, she did not disappoint their expectations. She went straight towards Bai Xiaofei.

“Won't you ask me for a dance?” Qin Lingyan tilted her head and asked with a smile.

Returning to his senses, Bai Xiaofei hurriedly donned a smile, then slowly bowed and stretched out his right hand.

“Beautiful lady, may I have this dance?”

As Qin Lingyan slowly laid her hand on his, elegant music sounded.

“Don't tell me this is your first time dancing,” Qin Lingyan complained as she followed Bai Xiaofei’s clumsy lead. As they danced, more and more couples began to fill the dance floor.

“I’m giving my first time to you. Shouldn't you be happy?” Bai Xiaofei retorted.

Qin Lingyan rolled her eyes. Then, she threatened with a hint of seriousness, “Listen and follow my lead. If you step on my foot again, don’t even think of leaving tonight!”

“That can’t be? You want me to pay you back with my body for just stepping on your foot a little?” Bai Xiaofei made an exaggerated shocked expression, and then his foot was stomped on by Qin Lingyan.

“Dream on! You will stay to brush my shoes!”

“If you lean so close to me, your girl group will be jealous,” Qin Lingyan suddenly spoke, catching Bai Xiaofei off guard.

He quickly glanced over at where the girls were, only to find that they were chatting wholeheartedly, having no intention to look at him at all.

Despite knowing that this reaction was abnormal, Bai Xiaofei was still relieved. After all, it was better to settle the accounts after, rather than now…
