Chapter 106: 106 Unexpected Guests

Luo Qinghe egged on from the side, “It’s just one dance, just go for it. No matter how busy you are, you can always spare the time for a dance, right?”

He Xing looked up at Luo Qinghe with a smile as clear as a refreshing breeze after rain, “Next time that girl Bai Wei pesters you again, just tell me. I’ll take care of her for you.”

“Thank you.” Luo Qinghe burst into hearty laughter.

Before Fu Han could figure out when He Xing and Luo Qinghe had become so familiar, she was already being led by He Xing to the middle of the dance floor.

In the past, she had studied various dances of the upper-class society very seriously, just to get as close to He Xing as possible. She was very good at dancing, and blues wasn’t difficult for her.

He Xing was very determined to lead Fu Han towards Su Cheng and their group’s area, but Fu Han kept skirting around him, always avoiding letting Su Cheng and Nan Qing see the two of them together.

As the song ended, Fu Han’s hand slipped away from He Xing’s like a loach, “Mr. He, you should go find your dear lady friend. I’m quite busy.”

Xia Ning had been waiting for her chance and took it as soon as He Xing was distracted. She clung tightly to He Xing’s arm, “Brother Hexing, dance one with me too. Didn’t you promise when you arrived?”

As the music started up again, He Xing looked at Fu Han, who was standing at the edge of the dance floor, with a sly smile. Not a trace of anger could ignite in his heart— he felt utterly weak.

The second dance was jazz. Luo Qinghe asked Nan Qing to dance, and although she felt a bit uncomfortable, she agreed.

Su Cheng, on the other hand, stood in front of Fu Han with an extended hand, his face flushed with excitement and nervousness, so much so that tiny beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.

Fu Han responded with a charming smile, readily agreeing, “Now we’re considered boyfriend and girlfriend in everyone’s eyes, how can we not dance together?”

She said this deliberately, always reminding Su Cheng that they were just pretending to be a couple. She didn’t want things that were pretend to inadvertently turn real.

The light in Su Cheng’s eyes dimmed, but he quickly recovered his smile, “Right, that’s what I was thinking too.”

What he really wanted to say was, since you want to remind me, then I’ll just play along with your wish.

In the center of the dance floor were three couples: Fu Han and Su Cheng, He Xing and Xia Ning, Luo Qinghe, and Nan Qing; the other four were chatting while dancing, but only He Xing and Xia Ning’s area was as quiet as a separate world.

He Xing’s eyes, deliberately or not, fell on Fu Han’s waist, where Su Cheng’s hand rested at that moment.

He was jealous to the point of madness; he was madly jealous of any man who approached Fu Han. If it had been before, he would have driven Su Cheng away already, but now he could not.

It wasn’t that he didn’t dare; it was because he knew Fu Han didn’t like it when he did that, so he couldn’t.

In Xia Ning’s eyes and heart, there was only He Xing. She watched him without blinking, her mood was very good; she had even begun to envision the scene of their engagement party dance in her mind.

Good thing she was lost in her thoughts, because if she had tried to talk to He Xing with the same desperation as usual, she might have been devastated by his cold demeanor.

When the jazz song ended, some were silently relieved, while others were reluctant to let it go.

Luo Qinghe wrapped his arm around Su Cheng’s shoulder, saying they were going to have some drinks.

Xia Ning, like a sticky burr, still followed closely behind He Xing.

Fu Han walked side by side with Nan Qing out of the dance floor; they were both hungry and decided to go have something to eat.

They had just grabbed their desired food and found a quiet corner to enjoy it, but after only a single bite of their steaks, a commotion arose from the entrance of the banquet hall.

“Who’s arrived?” Nan Qing muffledly asked with a mouthful of beef.

Fu Han pressed on her shoulder and stood up herself, “You keep eating. I’ll go take a look. Maybe the cake has arrived.”

The grand entrance doors of the banquet hall were more than two meters tall, a presence that could make anyone seem small.

However, at the moment, the entrance of the banquet hall was bustling with quite a few people, making the detached grandeur of the door seem touched by the warmth of human life.

Fu Han made her way through the crowd at the perimeter and saw two men and two women standing at the door. Although there weren’t many pieces of jewelry on them, their inherent nobility was something no one could ignore.

She stepped forward politely and asked, “Hello, whom may I ask are you looking for?”

“Nangong Qing.” The round-faced woman with big eyes stepped forward and looked at Fu Han, “You must be Fu Han, who called me a few days ago, right? Hello, I’m Nangong Qing’s mother.”

Fu Han extended her hand in a daze and shook hands with the other party passively.

Having grown up in the He Family, how could she not know the Nangong Family?

There were four big families in City A: the He Family, the Li Family, the Nangong Family, and the Huangpu Family.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

Among them, the He Family’s relationship with the other three was not good, perhaps even hostile, because they grew too fast and their business territory crossed with those of the others.

Over the years, Fu Han had attended many parties, but as if the hosts had agreed in advance, if the He Family was attending, the other three families would not be invited.

And it was for this reason that, while Fu Han lived with the He Family, she knew very little about the other three families.

Lady Nangong politely shook Fu Han’s hand and then let go. She glanced around, “Where is my dear Xiaoqing? I don’t see her.”

Fu Han was about to say that Nan Qing was eating when Nan Qing herself pushed through the crowd and entered, “Mom, Dad, how come you’re here? Even my godparents have come.”

“It’s our little princess’s birthday; how could we not come?” Lady Nangong scolded playfully at Nan Qing, “You girl, have you forgotten who you are? Celebrating your birthday in such a shabby place as this? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass your father and me?”

As soon as these four people appeared, Fu Han had already felt that something was off, and now after hearing this, she was almost certain that they had indeed come to cause trouble.

Her fists clenched tightly, and she reminded herself to stay calm and not let a little grievance ruin Nan Qing’s birthday.

Because she and Su Cheng had agreed to a fake relationship, she always felt that she was failing Nan Qing.

“Mom, what are you talking about?” Nan Qing glanced worriedly at Fu Han and then hugged her parents from both sides, “Mom, Dad, come see. This place is very big, and Fu Han has decorated it very thoughtfully. All my artwork is here.”

Mr. Nangong exchanged a subtle glance with Lady Nangong and then played along “That’s indeed very thoughtful. It’s good for Xiaoqing to have such a friend.”

“Friend?” Lady Nangong, holding onto Lady Huangpu’s hand, said lukewarmly, “Friendship is based on equal social standing and congruent views on wealth. How can these two even compare? Maybe she wants to use your daughter as a stepping stone.”

Nangong Qing’s complexion changed; she let go of her parents’ hands, and said with anger, “Mom and Dad, if you came here to celebrate my birthday, I welcome you; but if you’re here to bully my friend, then please leave.”
