It was crowded in the front hall, but it was a whole different world back in the dressing room. A world that only consisted of two of them. With the melodious music playing in the background, it seemed that their hearts were connected.
Dancing was such a mysterious thing. It could bring two strangers closer and make people who were already close even more intimate.
It was just like this moment, where Han Muzi had almost forgotten all the miserable experiences in her past. She had forgotten that she was a woman who had had two failed marriages, that she was already the mother of a child, or the nightmares she used to have when she was at her lowest moments in life.
The song had finished playing. Ye Moxuan inched toward her until her back was against the dressing table. Then, he leaned forward to her slightly and raised her chin to kiss her.
Han Muzi avoided his kiss indifferently and pushed him. She coldly said, “The dance is over. You can go back now.”
Ye Moxuan, who was completely defenseless when he was emotional, was pushed aside in surprise. He turned to look incredulously at the apathetic woman. Just one second ago, her eyes were full of tenderness while she danced with him, but in the next second, she pushed him away mercilessly. What is this?
As soon as Ye Moxuan took a step forward, Han Muzi said coldly, “You have brought me enough trouble tonight. Don’t let me hate you.”
Upon hearing her words, he immediately stopped. After a while, he slowly asked, “Is this a pretense?”
Han Muzi didn’t speak.
“If you don’t answer, I’ll just take it as a tacit approval.” Ye Moxuan stared at her intently. “Muzi, no matter how you want to push me away, you will be mine for the rest of your life.”
She turned around so that she would not see him again.
After staying still for a long time, Han Muzi felt that his breath had disappeared. Only then did she hold on to the table beside her and slowly walked deeper into the room. She sat in the dressing room for a long time before regaining her composure. After that, Han Muzi changed into comfier clothes.
Where did Little Bean go? Why didn’t he come to me? Something’s wrong. Moreover, Ye Moxuan is also at this dinner party tonight. Will he meet Little Bean?
Thinking that it was not impossible, Han Muzi’s face turned pale. In the next second, she rushed out of the dressing room.
After taking a few steps out of the dressing room, she went back to take the mask that was thrown on the table and kept it in her bag.
…
Han Qing had introduced Han Muzi to everyone this time because he wanted everyone to know that she was the Young Lady of the Han Family. Therefore, almost everyone from the upper-class society in North City was invited. Apart from that, it was also broadcast live on a big screen in the city center.
Almost everyone was a gossip. Those who passed by the broadcast would pause to take a look at Han Muzi while commenting on her beautiful looks and her prestigious background. Many people sighed enviously when they saw that.
At this moment, a waitress in a Western restaurant brought out a steak the customer ordered from the kitchen. “Sir, here’s your medium-rare steak.”
The man was paying attention to his phone and ignored her.
A sinister look flashed in her eyes as the waitress forced a smile to remind him again.
“Oh, okay. Just leave it there. Got it.” The man waved his hand impatiently. This made the waitress quite annoyed and thought that he had no manners at all.
Then, she unintentionally took a swift glance at his phone and realized that a beautiful girl was on his screen. Tsk! Sure enough, men are all the same. Even though he looks like a decent man sitting in a high-end restaurant, he probably is a fiend underneath that facade.
The waitress spurned him and turned to leave, but she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Then, she stopped and looked back at the man’s phone screen. Why do I feel that this woman looks familiar?
When she leaned forward and took a closer look, the expression on her face changed completely. She grabbed the man’s phone and stared at the person who appeared on the phone screen intently.
The woman was smiling slightly in the picture, but there was a cold aura emanating from her facial expression, just like back then. However, the dazzling tiara on her head and the colorful dress that she wore stung the waitress’s eyes!
“Shen Qi!” she suddenly yelled out a name.
When the man saw her staring at his phone, he thought he had found someone who had the same interest as him and joked, “Isn’t she gorgeous? When I watched the live broadcast, I thought I saw a goddess when I saw her. I didn’t expect the Han Family to hide such a beautiful person.”
“H-Han Family?” The waitress’s voice trembled.
The man realized that, but he didn’t think that there was a problem. He merely took a look at the waitress and saw that she reeked of poverty from head to toe. A touch of disdain appeared in his eyes. “Yeah. You must be excited to see such a beautiful woman. Don’t you think the dress she’s wearing is particularly fashionable? Let me tell you, any one of the tiny diamonds on her tiara is more than your annual salary. When I say the Han Family, I’m talking about the Han Family from North City. Don’t tell me that you haven’t heard of them? You are really too low-class.”
His straightforward taunts were like a sharp knife piercing into the waitress’s heart. She grasped the phone so tight that her knuckles turned white. Upon seeing that, the man exclaimed, “Hey, your jealousy has nothing to do with my phone! Give it back to me now!”
When the waitress raised her head, her eyes were quite intimidating. She looked as if she had just risen from hell. “Did you just… say that a melee on her tiara costs more than my annual salary?”
“O-Of course! I’m just telling the truth. Those melees are all real. It’s nothing personal!”
“Hah.” The waitress laughed coldly: “So what if she has melees? I used to wear full diamonds.”
“Are you imagining things?” The man looked at her as if she was a deranged person. When she wasn’t paying attention, he quickly stepped forward to grab his phone from her, but she avoided his attack easily and kept staring at the woman on the screen.
“Five years. It’s been five full years. You have finally appeared…”
“Manager, why do your waitresses snatch customer’s phones without permission?” The customer’s complaint had pulled her back to her senses. She quickly returned the phone to the man, with a sweet smile plastered on her face.
“Mister, thank you for sharing this piece of news with me. This lady is very beautiful indeed—you have good taste. Enjoy your meal.”
With that, she quickly turned around before he could react and brought the manager, who was heading that way, back to the counter. She then said, “Oh, manager, how could I snatch someone’s phone? Don’t you know what kind of person I am?”
