It felt as if her soul was taken away entirely by that man.
Staring blankly into space, she accidentally mitted the same mistake, and history repeated itself.
Yun Shishi hung her head low to look at Gu Xingze’s handmade leather shoes, which she had trampled on twice, and the guilt in her eyes seemed to be on the brink of flowing out.
“Shishi, you zoned out again.” Gu Xingze creased his brows and eased off the pace.
“I – I didn’t…”
Lacking the strength to explain herself, she also felt very frustrated.
Why was she suddenly out of sorts?
The scene of Mu Yazhe and Mu Wanrou dancing together was like a thorn piercing into her heart; it was painful and numbing.
She looked up. She was still puzzling over on how she should explain herself, when she spotted Mu Yazhe walking toward her while holding Mu Wanrou’s hand from her peripheral view.
Before she could express her shock, she saw him gently and conveniently push Mu Wanrou away by her waist, naturally extend his hand to hold hers, and then pull her into his embrace.
Mu Wanrou was unable to react in time and was pushed into Gu Xingze’s side. When she finally returned to her senses, Mu Yazhe was already with Yun Shishi at the center of the dance floor.
She was in a fit of rage, but it would be unbeing to show her temper here. After all, many important guests were present. She maintained her smile, albeit with difficulty, and turned to face Gu Xingze with her hand out.
Gu Xingze, however, was not looking at her. His numb eyes were on Mu Yazhe and Yun Shishi, as his facial expression gradually turned frigid.
“Xingze…”
Mu Wanrou could not help but feel a little awkward.
At least, they should continue to dance!
Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to be abandoned by their partner at the dance floor!
This was even more so when she was the center of attention until a while ago. If she were to leave with her tail between her legs after being abandoned, she would definitely bee a laughing stock for everyone.
Feeling somewhat panicky, she urged, “Xingze!”
He turned his cold face over to Mu Wanrou’s outstretched hand, which had stiffened in mid-air, and looked into her eyes, which were constantly giving him signals. He then said expressionlessly, “Pardon me for being unable to keep you pany.”
After that, he left the dance floor and Mu Wanrou awkwardly stood in the same spot, as she stewed over leaving or not leaving. He did not look back even once.
“This… ” What was the meaning of this?!
Was he purposely making her life difficult?!
She seemed to hear all the guests’ merciless mockeries.
“She’s been abandoned…”
“So much for being the young mistress of the Mu family!”
“Yun Shishi is prettier than her. Any man will want to partner with a beau like her on the dance floor! Poor her. So much for being the fiancée of Mr. Mu!”
“She’s just a fiancée; they’re not officially married yet. It’s just a title. She can be abandoned anytime…”
Those bitter and offensive whispers and ruthless mockeries deeply pierced her heart.
She glared at Yun Shishi’s back resentfully.
YUN SHISHI!
At that moment, everyone on the dance floor had stopped dancing and encircled it in jealousy or surprise. They were mesmerized by the beautiful couple dancing gracefully at the center.
This beautiful and eye-catching scene truly made heaven and earth drown in color.
Mu Yazhe’s dance form was very graceful, and who knew how he had managed to make Yun Shishi, who was previously clumsily swaying with Gu Xingze, grasp dancing pletely?
Regardless of dance steps or melody, they were in perfect rhythm.
Mu Wanrou held her fists tightly in hatred. She wanted to hack Yun Shishi into pieces so badly.
