Chapter 712: Chapter 708 Accidentally Dazzling Once
As Ye Fan led Xue Lingyu down to the dance floor by the hand, the dance song that had been playing stopped abruptly.
“Ah!” Ye Fan exclaid in surprise, secretly delighted, and smiled at Xue Lingyu, “I thought the equipnt had broken…”
“Pfft—” Xue Lingyu couldn’t help but laugh and said, “What equipnt broke, it’s the music host stopping the song to put on another one.”
“Oh.” Ye Fan imdiately understood.
Although this party was a social gathering, it was ultimately a governnt organized event deeply ingrained with a hierarchical system. Now, one-third into the party, the high-ranking officials had already danced till they were tired and went to rest and chat; only the energetic younger civil servants remained. There were only three or four pairs of dancers left on the dance floor.
As the fourth-ranking official of Mingde County, Xue Lingyu only danced one dance that evening. When she went down to dance, how could the music host not hurriedly stop the song that was halfway through?
At that mont, the four pairs of dancers who were still dancing stopped when the music ceased, and upon seeing that it was Xue Lingyu entering the floor, they quietly exited the dance area.
In a mont, only Ye Fan and Xue Lingyu were left on the dance floor while everyone else focused their attention on them.
Seeing this, Ye Fan said with a wry smile, “It seems like there’s a lot of pressure.”
“Hehe, don’t pretend, I know you handle stress very well,” Xue Lingyu chuckled, “Which dance can you do? Regular ballroom, waltz, cha-cha, or rumba? I hope you can dance the rumba.”
Compared to regular ballroom dancing, rumba is more romantic with enchanting poses, and it’s sensual and passionate; the steps are graceful and intimate, emphasizing body posture, tender movents, and teasing closeness.
“Hehe, you’re giving too much credit, I’d be lucky if I can dance the regular ballroom without stepping on your feet,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
Just kidding, rumba is also known as the dance of love, with its intimate and entangled moves. Not to ntion whether Zhao Lina, watching from the side, would rush in halfway and kick him away, just the envious gazes from outside the dance floor could kill him.
Xue Lingyu turned to the music host and called out, “Ballroom.”
The music host gave Xue Lingyu an OK gesture.
Xue Lingyu turned back, stepped slightly closer to Ye Fan, and then assud the ballroom dancing stance.
“Pardon the imposition,” Ye Fan said, as he re-grasped the soft, boneless tender white left hand of Xue Lingyu, and his right hand stretched to Xue Lingyu’s back, gently supporting her delicate back.
Xue Lingyu was dressed in an evening gown. Although her back was not exposed, it was covered only by a sheer layer. The mont Ye Fan placed his palm there, he imdiately felt the softness and delicacy of Xue Lingyu’s skin.
Of course, this wasn’t to say that Xue Lingyu braved the cold in such an evening gown; the hall was centrally heated, making it comfortably warm.
Seeing that Xue Lingyu and Ye Fan were ready, the music host imdiately started playing the music.
As the music played, Ye Fan led Xue Lingyu in the dance.
Although he had initially claid to be a poor dancer, now under the public eye, Ye Fan dared not hold back for fear of being ridiculed.
Thus, from the beginning, he put forth his effort.
Xue Lingyu, obviously a master in dancing, beca in sync with Ye Fan after just a few steps.
Ye Fan, tall and upright with standard and tasteful postures, was now in a suit and shoes, dancing with a graceful deanor that captured the attention of all the won outside the dance floor.
Xue Lingyu, rarely encountering a good dance partner, gave her all in the dance. Her movents were charming and tender, her beauty and the halo of being the Head of the Organizational Departnt virtually hooked away the souls of the n present.
For that mont, the entire hall, aside from the music, had no other sound; everyone watched intently as Ye Fan and Xue Lingyu danced the ballroom dance.
Xue Lingyu danced joyfully and halfway through, she suddenly asked in a soft voice, “Can you talk while dancing?”
“Kind of.” Ye Fan casually responded.
“Hmph, kind of? You just said you were dancing poorly!” Xue Lingyu muttered quietly, a bit displeased, “How do you explain that?”
Ye Fan gave a bitter smile and shalessly said, “I really do think I’m not dancing well.”
Xue Lingyu didn’t continue to fuss over this minor matter with Ye Fan. She said, “Do you feel a bit resentful towards ?”
“Not at all,” Ye Fan said. “Why would I resent you? You’ve been very kind to ; I can barely thank you enough.”
“Then why didn’t you co over to chat with earlier?” Xue Lingyu asked.
Ye Fan explained, “I saw people around you and felt it wasn’t nice to disturb. Hehe, sorry, I didn’t know you’d misunderstand, it was my mistake.”
“Good that you know,” Xue Lingyu chuckled and then asked, “You’re not going ho for the New Year, right?”
“Yeah, I definitely can’t go ho for the New Year this year,” Ye Fan said.
Xue Lingyu smiled and said, “I’ll give you a chance to apologize. Co to my place for the Spring Festival.”
“Is your ho in Mingde County?” Ye Fan asked, a bit surprised.
Xue Lingyu could be no more than thirty, but she was already a vice departntal head, one of Mingde County’s standing committee mbers, the head of the publicity departnt. If Xue Lingyu were a man, her ordinary background wouldn’t be so surprising, but as a woman, it would require great capability. Ye Fan didn’t think Xue Lingyu had such capability, so he assud she must have so background, and logically wouldn’t be from Mingde County.
“Of course not,” Xue Lingyu chuckled. “However, I do have a place in Mingde County. It’s my turn this year, and I won’t be going ho for the New Year either.”
“Oh,” Ye Fan responded. “Then I’ll brave the disturbance during the Spring Festival.”
At this point in their conversation, the dance was also nearing its end, so they stopped talking and focused on dancing well through the last segnt.
As the music stopped, Ye Fan and Xue Lingyu also ca to a halt.
As they were about to part, Xue Lingyu, with a smile on her face, softly said, “You really dance well. I had a lot of fun too. I wish we could dance another. But let’s leave it. I wouldn’t want excessive jealousy to cause you harm.”
Ye Fan smiled and led Xue Lingyu back to the dance floor.
At this mont, a genuinely enthusiastic round of applause erupted, along with lots of cheers.
However, Ye Fan’s mood wasn’t very good because he was being stared at by a pair of fiery, beautiful eyes.
Stepping out of the dance floor and letting go of Xue Lingyu’s tender hand, a group of eager won approached him, inviting him to dance.
Xue Lingyu only danced one dance, but Ye Fan had no such restriction, so the female civil servants all hoped to dance with him.
Ye Fan dared not accept the invitations to dance and was feeling awkward when he heard a call, “Little Ye, Little Ye.”
He looked in the direction of the call and saw Wang Shu beckoning to him, a signal that greatly relieved him.
“Sorry, Wang Shu is calling ,” Ye Fan apologized and then walked over to Wang Shu.
With Wang Shu calling him, the group of female civil servants naturally didn’t dare to bother him anymore.
