Capítulo 1377: Chapter 1378: Sorry, I Can’t

“Would you like to dance with ?” Staring at the man in front of her, Dongfang Li maintained her defiant attitude, as if she were a queen and everyone should bow to her.

But this was precisely the sensitive area that Qin Feimo could not touch.

No man is willing to submit to a woman’s authority. Of course, there are n who might surrender to a charming woman like her, but Qin Feimo was never going to be one of them.

“Sorry, I can’t.”

Faced with Dongfang Li’s enthusiastic invitation, Qin Feimo slightly raised the corners of his lips, answering with a few simple words.

Those few words left Dongfang Li montarily stunned.

He was the big boss of M Group, of noble birth, pampered from a young age; how could he not know how to dance?

Regarding his statent, Dongfang Li naturally had doubts, “Qin Feimo, could it be that you don’t want to dance with , so you’re deliberately claiming you can’t?”

Qin Feimo still lightly curled his lips, “If that’s what Miss Dongfang believes, then it is so.”

After speaking, he turned toward the two people he had been talking to earlier, nodding slightly, “Excuse .”

With those words, he began to walk away, not even looking back at Dongfang Li as he left.

Dongfang Li, prideful since childhood, had developed a strong sense of self-esteem. Being ignored so directly, her pride inevitably took a hit.

Staring at that retreating figure, Dongfang Li fell into deep thought.

How could she win this man’s heart?

Upon reaching the center of the crowd, Qin Feimo’s eyes aimlessly searched the hall for sothing.

His gaze swept around, but Feng Jinglei’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

Where did she run off to in a short mont?

The restroom.

Erging from the ladies’ room and standing by the vanity, Feng Jinglei tidied up her makeup before finally turning to leave, heading toward the banquet hall.

In the quiet corridor, the faint sound of a waltz ending could still be heard from the hall, followed closely by another tune.

Suddenly, a familiar figure ca into view, and she halted her steps.

“Jinnan.”

Seeing Xiang Jinnan reminded Feng Jinglei that he once invited her to be his companion, but she declined with the excuse of ‘disliking such occasions.’

If she attended as Qin Feimo’s companion, she couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.

However, realizing this might extinguish any lingering hopes Xiang Jinnan had, perhaps it wasn’t such a bad thing.

Tonight’s circumstances made it clear to Xiang Jinnan that whether she likes such occasions depends on the man beside her.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Xiang Jinnan pressed his thin lips slightly, feeling bittersweet, yet still managed to lift a small smile.

“You look beautiful today.”

He genuinely complinted her, more stunning today than during their college rehearsals — less naive and more maturely captivating.

“Thank you.” Feng Jinglei responded to his praise with a slight nod.

Since he didn’t ntion it, she naturally felt no need to bring it up.

Even though she knew he probably cared deeply about this, she refused to explain.

Because between them, they were rely friends, she had no obligation to explain; nor did she wish to risk causing any misconceptions with explanations.

“I thought you wouldn’t co today.” Eventually, Xiang Jinnan couldn’t hold back from speaking.

Feng Jinglei looked up at him, pondering for a few seconds before slowly replying, “I originally hadn’t planned to co, but Qin Grandma insisted we attend together, so I did.”
