In the hall, a waltz tune sounded . She could visualize how the hall would look like with all the couples happily dancing to the tune . But then again, all she wanted to do was to stay out of it .
She lifted her head and gazed at the towering figure heading towards her . She bent her head and a bitter smile appeared on her face .
It seemed too much to hope to just stay at this spot for a moment longer .
Yan Rusheng had a cigarette in his hand as he strode towards Xuxu . He noticed that she looked rather peaky and he frowned . "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine," Xuxu replied softly and shook her head . She threw her tissues into the trash can and straightened her back . "Let's go . "
She thought to herself, 'Just endure it for a while more, the celebration will be over soon . '
"Let's go get some warm water . " Yan Rusheng flicked his cigarette away and held Xuxu's hand as they left for the main hall .

He walked leisurely, and for Xuxu, the gesture was thoughtful enough .
Several couples were huddled closely together in the main hall, dancing away to the beautiful tune . There were married couples, lovers, and others merely dance partners .
Yan Rusheng instructed a waiter to get a glass of warm water .
Xuxu took a few sips of the water and her face regained some color after resting for a while .
"Follow me . "
Suddenly, Yan Rusheng took the glass away from her hand and conveniently placed it on the table behind them .
Wen Xuxu didn't have time to react when Yan Rusheng grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the middle of the hall .

Of course, she knew that he wanted to dance with her .
"My heels . " Wen Xuxu peered down to look at the heels she was wearing . She wasn't confident as she couldn't even walk properly in those heels . It would be harder to keep herself steady if they were to dance .
Yan Rusheng ignored her protests and wrapped his long arm around her slender waist . He didn't care about the traditional waltz posture at all .
They quickly stepped into the dance smoothly and became the center of everyone's attraction .
Yan Rusheng embraced Xuxu tightly and kept their bodies close together . Several times, he lifted her off from the ground and made a complete turn as he swung her around .
Xuxu was very anxious and her hand gripped tightly onto Yan Rusheng's arm for fear of falling .
Her waist-length hair flowed and swayed along as they danced .
She raised her face and glanced at Yan Rusheng . He was gazing into her eyes and tenderness was billowing in his deep black eyes—tenderness that swept past her heart gently and brought about ripples in her heart .
This was the first time they had danced together . And such an intimate dance to boot .
She had no idea that he could dance so well, and even the expression in his eyes was so precise .
Gradually, Xuxu began to forget about her fear and trusted Yan Rusheng not to let her fall .
After the song ended, everyone else stopped .
But Yan Rusheng didn't seem to have the idea of letting go of Xuxu yet .
All pairs of eyes were staring at them and Xuxu began to feel embarrassed . She whispered to remind Yan Rusheng, "The song has ended . "
She was blushing scarlet .
Yan Rusheng stopped abruptly and released his hands from Xuxu's waist .
But in the next moment, he swiftly cupped Xuxu's face with both hands and pressed his lips against hers .
In front of so many strangers, friends, and acquaintances…
Xuxu's eyes widened in surprise and her eyes darted around in shock . She wanted to push him away, but she didn't dare to be too obvious about it .
However, Yan Rusheng had no intention of letting her go . One of his hands pulled her towards him and steadied her body .
He smirked coldly as he stared a distance away .
