It was already 7:30 in the evening. The noisy and chaotic sounds of car horns and pedestrians' laughter outside the window came intermittently into Lu Yao's ears, making her feel inexplicably upset.
She lowered her head, as if to delay time, and slowly peeled the apple in her hand, sneezing from time to time because of the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.
Lu Jing sat on the bed beside her with a dark face, clenching his teeth tightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the anger that was about to burst out from his heart. However, he waited until she finished peeling the apple in her hand before speaking through gritted teeth: "Are you going to stay here forever?"
Lu Yao looked up blankly: "Dad, if I don't stay here to take care of you, what will you do?"
A few hours ago, she received a call saying that her father had a sudden heart attack and was in critical condition. When she rushed over, she found that the old man was chatting and laughing with the lady opposite the bed. The doctor at the side told her helplessly that although he was safe this time, he still needed to be observed in the hospital for a few days.
not to mention……
Lu Yao sighed softly.
She herself was a person with nothing to do and had nothing important to do.
While chewing an apple, Lu Jing glared at his daughter in dismay: "You take care of me? Take care of yourself first! How long has it been since you graduated? A college student who graduated from G University with a major in film and television is so poor that he can't even get enough food? Who would believe it if I told anyone?"
"Isn't it okay for me to lose weight?" Lu Yao muttered without confidence.
"You're a big head!" Lu Jing didn't have any signs of heart disease. "I heard from your boss He not long ago that you ruined a cooperation because you got into a fight with an investor. Your company has put you on ice, right?"
Lu Yao frowned, and said calmly: "It's okay to go out to discuss a script and drink, but the other party's salty hands are always restless. Why should I just sit there and wait for death?"
"So you gave him a concussion?" Lu Jing completely collapsed. "How many times has this happened? And every time it was Boss He who helped you deal with it? Do you really want to be banned?"
Hearing the word "ban", Lu Yao's heart still skipped a beat. A hint of stubbornness flashed across her dark and bright eyes, and she pursed her lips, but in the end she still didn't explain.
Work is work. Shouldn't she maintain her principles when facing those people with bad intentions?
The air suddenly froze, and both the father and daughter fell into an awkward silence. Lu Yao was even more on pins and needles, thinking about how to resolve the awkward atmosphere at the moment. Suddenly, a weak voice came from beside him: "My lady, are you a film and television major at G University?"
Hearing this, Lu Yao looked in the direction of the voice in confusion, and saw a pale-faced beauty looking at him. She was lying on the bed in an extremely uncomfortable position, with one of her bandaged legs hanging up.
Although she knew her memory was not very good, after looking at her for a while, Lu Yao was sure that she had never seen this woman before, so she asked politely, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"Oh! That's it!" After getting the response, the beauty was obviously relieved, "I'm the personal assistant of Gu Siming, the president of G Group. I was supposed to go to a business party with him tonight, but you see..." She pointed at her carrot-like left leg a little embarrassedly, "something went wrong on the way, and I couldn't find a suitable replacement temporarily. I happened to hear your conversation and thought your qualifications were more suitable. I'm in a hurry here, do you think it's possible..."
"She can! She definitely can!" Before the other party could finish, Lu Jing's face flushed, and he shouted excitedly, winking at Lu Yao, "Did you hear that? The president of G Group! This is an opportunity!"
The beauty was obviously frightened by Lu Jing's reaction and gave Lu Yao a confused and uneasy look.
Lu Yao held Lu Jing's hand and smiled at the beautiful woman shyly: "I have an agency, and this kind of activity needs permission from my boss."
And this good thing came too suddenly, didn't it? That was Gu Siming, the president of G Group!
When this name was mentioned, Lu Yao sighed secretly.
This is the mysterious figure who was said to have taken over his father's group at a young age and negotiated an extremely difficult cooperation deal as soon as he took office!
There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky in this world. Even if it really does fall, it won't fall on such an unlucky person like her, right?
The beauty got a little anxious when she heard her refusal. The panic in her eyes was definitely not fake. "No! You must help me with this today! I really don't have time! So...which agency are you from? I'll contact your boss, okay?"
Originally, Lu Jing was so angry that his face turned blue when he heard Lu Yao's rejection, but he didn't expect that things would turn around. So, regardless of Lu Yao's reaction, he quickly dodged Lu Yao's phone and directly called her boss He Zheng. During this time, he didn't forget to wink at the beautiful woman in the next bed and said, "Then I'll leave it to you!"
Lu Yao stared in amazement at the two people in front of her who were singing the same tune. After the call was connected, the beautiful woman covered her mouth mysteriously and said something to He Zheng. A few minutes later, she hung up the phone with a sense of relief and made an "OK" gesture to Lu Yao.
She smiled and said, "Okay, your boss said he will pick you up to go to the club in person later, let's talk about the relevant matters..."
Lu Jing also echoed beside him: "Yaoyao, you must seize this opportunity!"
Lu Yao's lips trembled, and the fruit knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Why did she feel like she was being sold?
When the boss He Zheng rushed to the hospital, the beautiful assistant was still nagging in her ear: "Don't forget the contents of the confidentiality agreement! Xingyun Club VIP Room 703! Don't forget! And the president is allergic to alcohol..."
Lu Yao nodded in agreement, still looking as if she was still in a dream. He Zheng could not help but worry about her, and he gave her a lot of instructions on the way. When Lu Yao left, rubbing her ears, she could still vaguely hear He Zheng's roar behind her: "Anything is negotiable! Don't do anything! The sponsor this time is not an ordinary person, and this is also a very rare opportunity for you..."
Lu Yao's feet staggered and he almost fell to the ground in front of everyone.
What does "never use force" mean? It makes her sound like a violent person. Didn't she accidentally "teach a lesson" to a few partners and investors who didn't know how to behave? Besides, that was their own fault!
After simply adjusting the wrinkles on her skirt, Lu Yao took a few deep breaths, and a perfect and polite smile appeared on her face. After reporting her identity to the security guard, she arrived at the VIP room 703 of the club without any obstacles. Before knocking on the door, she repeatedly confirmed the door number - after all, in such an expensive place, as long as you don't make the wrong number, you will never make those mistakes in romance novels.
The golden sign on the door had three glittering numbers "703" printed on it. Lu Yao knocked on the door a few times and soon heard a clear male voice: "Come in."
She pushed the door open and walked in. She had prepared a lot of greetings but before she could say them, she felt a blur in front of her eyes. The next second, a brown-haired man in a well-tailored suit stood in front of her with a smile on his face. He pointed a finger at her nose and said, "Hello, I'm Gu Siming."
His voice had a hint of playfulness and a non-offensive frivolity, and more importantly, his entire person exuded a sunny and warm aura.
Lu Yao couldn't help but be stunned: No, it is said that Gu Siming, the president of G Group, is a man of few words and an iceberg! How could it be this weird man who even smiles like a peach blossom? But the VIP room is definitely not wrong!
Although she had doubts in her heart, Lu Yao still knew what to ask and what not to ask. She still maintained a perfect smile and nodded: "Hello, Mr. Gu, I am the special assistant this time, you can just call me Lu Yao."
"Gu Siming" rolled his eyes, a look of amazement flashed across his face, and he murmured, "This kid is pretty lucky!"
"Good luck?" Lu Yao was confused.
This president seems a bit weird!
"Gu Siming" was stunned for a moment, and quickly restrained his smile. He coughed a few times, and his tone became serious: "Nothing, I will briefly tell you what to do. There is about half an hour left before the cocktail party starts, you just need to stay by my side..."
After finally getting to the point, Lu Yao immediately perked up, looking as if he was determined not to be negligent. However, the other party had just said a few words when there was a sudden slight movement behind him, which was the sound of the door being slowly pushed open.
Nebula Club is one of the most famous luxury clubs in the city, and she is in a VIP room at this moment. Generally speaking, no one is allowed to enter without permission. But she clearly did not hear any knocking or requesting sound. Who on earth dared to push the door and enter so blatantly at this time?
A pair of long legs first catches the eye.
Lu Yao's gaze gradually moved upwards, and saw a tall and slender figure walking in slowly. He was estimated to be over 183 cm tall, wearing a neat and clean black suit, and exuding a cold aura from head to toe. Because he lowered his head slightly, Lu Yao could only catch a glimpse of his eyes hidden under his forehead, which were indifferent and sharp.
Before the newcomer could introduce himself, the expression of "Gu Siming" behind him changed. He exaggeratedly stretched out a finger, pointed at the man tremblingly, and asked, "Who are you? How dare you break into my room? Where is the security guard?"
The man seemed to be stunned when he heard this, snorted, then threw his hand away and closed the door without caring about anything.
This is really too crazy!
Lu Yao was completely stunned. She first thought of her duties as Gu Siming's personal assistant. She immediately frowned and strode in front of "Gu Siming". She stared at the man in front of her and issued a serious warning: "Hello, this is Mr. Gu's VIP lounge. Strangers are not allowed to enter."
As she spoke, she glanced at the closed door uneasily, feeling panicky.
Where are the security guards at this time? If there is an emergency, will they break in?
The man walked steadily, and seemed not to take Lu Yao's words to heart at all. He just tilted his head and glanced at her with an indifferent expression as he passed by her.
It was at this moment that Lu Yao saw his true face.
His skin was pale, which made his eyes sparkle like black gemstones. However, there was a trace of weariness in his eyes, which made him look listless, as if he had just woken up. He had a high nose bridge and a nearly perfect outline, but his temperament was too cold. Even his thin lips were very obvious, and even gave people a chill.
Although she had seen many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, Lu Yao's fragile heart couldn't help but tremble a few times when she saw this stunning face in front of her. But she quickly came to her senses.
Why was she hesitating? An intruder was an intruder. Was she going to mess up her hard-earned job just because she was seduced by the other person's beauty?
"Gu Siming" huddled behind her, looking like a good girl who was about to be abducted. Lu Yao felt a chill in her heart, but she had to continue to perform her duties. She simply strode to the front of the strange man, raised her hand and grabbed his shoulder, and ordered in a cold voice: "Please leave here immediately! Otherwise, I will..."
"Contact security?" The man finally spoke in a low voice with a hint of sarcasm. "Miss, do you think... the security guard will drive away the owner of this room without any reason?"
Then, his eyes fell on Lu Yao's hand on his shoulder with some displeasure. Although it was just a faint glance, Lu Yao felt as if he was burned by something, and subconsciously took his hand back .
Lu Yao stared at the man in disbelief, her heart suddenly raging with anger: She had never seen such a shameless person before! Barging into someone else's room casually and claiming to be the owner?
Her expression gradually became solemn, as if she was preparing, she cracked her fingers and said silently in her heart:
I'm sorry, boss, I may have to take action today!
The man still had a nonchalant look on his face, doing what he wanted on his own, and Lu Yao, who had been promoted to the third degree black belt in Taekwondo during his freshman year, aimed at his face and in the blink of an eye stepped behind him. After putting some distance between them, he grabbed his arm with lightning speed, wanting to throw him out of the door in one go!
Seeing that her fingertips were about to touch his arm in the next second, she suddenly heard the man with his back to her calmly ask: "What do you want to do?"
Isn't this reaction too quick?
Lu Yao was startled by the other party, and her movements paused, and she also missed the best time to sneak attack. The man turned around and quickly grabbed her wrist, and his handsome face quickly moved closer to her, almost touching the tip of her nose.
Lu Yao's heart beat wildly for a few times, and then stopped for a few seconds.
Aren't they... a little too close now?
There seemed to be a chaotic roar in her ears. Lu Yao tried her best to tell herself to calm down, but her voice sounded like she was trembling: "You...what are you going to do?"
In this situation, she might be the one thrown out?
The man raised his lips and asked with a fake smile: "It seems that you were the first to do it, right?"
The cool breath hit her hot cheeks, and Lu Yao was speechless for a moment. She struggled a few times but it was still in vain. She stared at him with red face, cursing this bastard repeatedly in her heart: He was the first to break into someone else's room, and he was so self-righteous after being exposed? It really proved the saying that shameless people are invincible!
The atmosphere in the room became somewhat subtle for some reason, and "Gu Siming", who had been standing aside and watching the show for a long time, seemed to finally realize that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction. He immediately turned into his previous smiling tiger appearance and laughed awkwardly a few times: "Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore, Siming, let this beauty go first, she is your personal assistant for this cocktail party."
Siming?
A bomb of infinite power exploded in Lu Yao's brain, creating sparks.
Who is Gu Siming?
The man holding her wrist lowered his head thoughtfully. His cold eyes stayed on Lu Yao's stunned face for a moment, and then he quickly loosened his fingers and said calmly, "You are quite skilled."
Lu Yao's arms swung at his sides for a few times, as if they had no bones.
"Hey...what's going on?" she asked faintly.
What kind of weird game is this? Real or fake Gu Siming?
“Beauty, I’m sorry, I was just joking with you!” The brown-haired man clasped his hands together and smiled apologetically , “I’m Gu Siming’s friend, my name is Lin Feng. Actually, I didn’t mean to lie to you, I just wanted to see this guy make a fool of himself. Look at him, he has a face like a playing card all day long, doesn’t he really deserve a beating, hahahaha…”
Before the long laugh ended, the hair on Lin Feng's body suddenly stood up. He looked with his neck stiffened, and sure enough, he saw Gu Siming's warning eyes shooting at him like a knife.
Lin Feng knew that he had caused trouble. If he continued to stay here, his life would be in danger. In addition, he was too lazy to clean up the mess, so he just ran away.
Before closing the door, he did not forget to give Lu Yao a pitying look, as if she was a lamb to be slaughtered.
With a bang, the door was closed again. Lu Yao stood there with a pale face, feeling that he was in a dilemma, neither leaving nor staying.
Was this a screw-up? Did she just want to fight with Gu Siming, the president of G Group and her most important client tonight? And——
She plucked up her courage and looked in the direction of Gu Siming again.
Why does he act as if nothing has happened? Could it be that... he is also a fake?
Leaning lazily on the soft black sofa in the corner, Gu Siming's black eyes were slightly drooped, his thick eyelashes cast a very light shadow on his eyelids, and his slender fingers were nimbly playing with a crystal wine glass.
"Um..." Finally unable to bear the pressure of silence in the room, Lu Yao thought carefully and asked weakly, "Are you really Mr. Gu Siming?"
He raised his head and looked at her calmly: "I don't look like it?"
"No... that's not what I meant!" Lu Yao's heart trembled again, "It's just that you saw the previous situation, I think it is necessary to check the identity again to avoid any unnecessary mistakes."
And she is the one who has been tricked the most, right?
Gu Siming answered very concisely: "There is a computer in the room, go and look up the information yourself."
The other party's tone was so arrogant that it almost reached the sky, but Lu Yao didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal. She shrank her neck like a snail and looked at the furnishings in the room. She found that the computer was still some distance away from her, so she simply took out her mobile phone from her handbag and entered the relevant search for the president of G Group. During this time, she did not forget to glance at Gu Siming from the corner of her eye.
This kind of iceberg temperament is indeed more suitable than the previous one...
The images on the phone screen jumped rapidly. Lu Yao's fingers slid a few times, skimming through the first large and lengthy information, and finally his eyes fixed on a high-definition photo.
Her pupils trembled violently several times, and she felt a pair of hands tightly strangling her throat.
The same facial features, the same cold temperament, and that harsh look that makes people dare not look directly at it...
Exactly the same!
Lu Yao closed her eyes in despair and didn't even have the courage to speak: Has she messed up?
At this moment, the room was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly. Lu Yao even felt a drop of cold sweat slowly sliding down his forehead.
What should I do? Apologize? But the president in front of me seems to have a bad face, so sweet talk won't work, right?
"Um... President Gu." Finally deciding to shamelessly ask for the other party's forgiveness, Lu Yao forced out an extremely brilliant smile and bowed deeply, "I was wrong about what happened before. I didn't understand the situation clearly. You see..." Can you be magnanimous and forgive me this time?
Before Lu Yao finished speaking, Gu Siming spoke slowly, "Forgive?" There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his voice. He paused, sneered, and continued, "Take off these tasteless clothes of yours first. I don't know where you picked them up from."
His voice was very low, like a buzzing string, lightly tapping on Lu Yao's uneasy heart.
She remained in the bowing position for a second, then suddenly reacted. She raised her head with a grim look and asked, "What? Take off your clothes?"
She definitely didn't hear it wrong just now! Gu Siming really asked her to take off her clothes!
Gu Siming nodded slightly as a matter of course: "Any questions?" He kindly extended a finger and said, "The locker room is over there."
"I'm talking to President Gu." Lu Yao gritted his teeth, and the remaining guilt disappeared without a trace. "I am a worker with professional ethics. I hope you can understand this, okay?"
Those clients who had groped her before had made her unable to bear it anymore and resorted to violence, but now Gu Siming was actually asking her to take off...take off her clothes so bluntly?
Lu Yao began to think seriously about whether he should use his signature double kick on him to let him know what a bloody lesson was.
Gu Siming raised his eyebrows and his expression suddenly became a little ugly: "First, your taste in choosing clothes is very poor; second, I am not interested in whether you have professional ethics; third, the prepared dress and jewelry are in the dressing room, change yourself, I don’t want to repeat it a second time." After saying that, he turned around coldly and ignored Lu Yao.
Lu Yao stood there stiffly, feeling a burning pain as if someone had slapped him hard on the face.
So... he wanted to change his clothes by himself? Oh! What a mess of things was going on in her mind all day long!
No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't face the situation calmly. Lu Yao couldn't even say an apology, so she could only secretly stick out her tongue, and then tiptoed into the dressing room in shame. After entering, she saw a champagne-colored dress hanging on the hanger next to the floor-length mirror.
Seeing the long skirt, Lu Yao couldn't help but slow down her pace and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
This low-key yet gorgeous color already deserves full marks, and the sexy yet dignified one-shoulder design, as well as the string of fine and dense crystals from the waistline to the hem of the skirt, make it even harder to look away.
Lu Yao raised her hand and touched the fabric of the skirt. The silky feeling made her sigh again. Then, she looked at the ordinary red dress in the mirror with some disappointment. Three words immediately appeared in her mind - ugly. Thinking of the disgusted look on President Gu's face when he looked at her...
It turns out that changing the skirt immediately is the best option!
The matching necklace and earrings had already been placed on the dressing table next to her. While marveling at Gu Siming's aesthetic taste, Lu Yao walked out of the dressing room with a look of trepidation and admiration.
Showing a standard smile, she reported to Gu Siming in a serious manner: "It has been changed."
Gu Siming was sitting on the sofa not far away, shaking the wine glass in his hand. Hearing this, he just raised his eyes calmly and glanced at her lazily.
But what he didn't expect was that this glance made him almost unable to look away.
The girl standing opposite had a slender and graceful figure, with long, silky hair neatly tied up on top of her head, revealing her white and full forehead, which also made her standard oval face look even smaller and more delicate.
Her facial features are very outstanding and unique, and she is the kind of person that can be captured at a glance even if thrown into a crowd. Especially her bright and lively eyes, which seem to have some strange magic, and one glance at them will make people unconsciously intoxicated. And the champagne-colored dress she is wearing makes her skin look as white as snow, and it is impossible to look directly at her.
The girl seemed to have walked out of a painting.
Gu Siming, who rarely showed his emotions, was stunned for three seconds. When he came to his senses, he even found it a little unbelievable.
"Not bad." He coughed lightly a few times to cover up his previous gaffe.
His voice was too low, so Lu Yao, whose nerves were tense to a certain extent, couldn't hear it clearly. He could only ask awkwardly, "What did you say?"
Gu Siming looked at her innocent face and choked up for a moment. He simply pretended that nothing had happened and stood up. His voice returned to its usual indifference: "Nothing, it's time, let's go."
Lu Yao knew very well that this financial sponsor had a bad temper, so he could not ask any questions, whether they were necessary or not. He had no choice but to play deaf and dumb and follow him with his head held high.
In the banquet hall on the third floor of the Nebula Hotel, Lu Yao stood beside Gu Siming, looking at the successful people coming and going in the hall, all of them smiling and dressed in suits, and her heart suddenly started beating out of control.
The long table in the hall was filled with all kinds of exquisite and tempting food and desserts. Under the illumination of the huge and luxurious crystal chandelier above, these foods and desserts looked like precious and beautiful works of art.
In the center of the hall, countless crystal triangular glasses were neatly and beautifully stacked into a champagne tower three or four people high. Next to the tower, staff were standing on tall chairs pouring golden champagne into it. The sweet aroma of wine slowly flowed in the air, adding a bit of joy to the party.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Yao was stunned and secretly pinched his thigh to stop the saliva that he could no longer control.
Stay calm! You must stay calm! It is not easy to have done this job without any mistakes until now! She must not expose her crazy habit of losing control when she sees delicious food!
On the other side, Gu Siming was busy talking to a friend. Even at this moment, his expression was as pale as the first glimmer of light in the morning, clear and crisp, with obvious alienation. Lu Yao was originally restraining her gaze, trying not to look in the direction of the food, but she didn't want to be attracted by Gu Siming's handsome features, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little straight.
Isn't it unfair that a man can be so good-looking? And his skin seems to be better than mine, right?
Perhaps it was because of the lighting, Gu Siming's originally pale skin was now stained with a faint halo, so delicate that no pores could be seen, just like... the cream on a cake.
No, why did she think of food again?
Lu Yao's thoughts began to wander, and she shook her head gently to drive away the distracting thoughts in her mind. Then, while Gu Siming was busy, she looked at him unscrupulously - from his hair to his eyes, and then from his eyes to his collar...
She was just looking at the first button of Gu Siming's suit when she suddenly felt a chill on her shoulder. Then a grinning voice rang in her ears: "Beauty, what are you looking at?"
Hearing this, Lu Yao felt that her heart was greatly stimulated. She used all her willpower not to scream. Instead, she turned around with a pair of frightened eyes that kept rolling around, and her face was pale.
Gu Siming, whose conversation was interrupted, frowned in displeasure.
Lin Feng was seen standing leisurely behind Lu Yao, with one of his hands shamelessly placed on Lu Yao's shoulder.
With a satisfied look, Lin Feng quickly glanced at Lu Yao and said, "This dress is much better looking and suits you very well. Was it chosen by Siming?"
Lu Yao's tongue was still trembling: "Yes, it was chosen by the president."
What's wrong with this guy called Lin Feng? He just fooled himself and Gu Siming so naturally, but now he has the courage to appear in front of them? Who gave him this courage? Could it be Liang Jingru?
Considering Lin Feng's reasons, Gu Siming apologized to the friend he was talking to. After watching the other party leave, he walked up to Lin Feng expressionlessly and taunted him, "What? Have you digested all the bad things you did?"
Lin Feng covered his mouth exaggeratedly: "I never do anything wrong! Besides, I came here to tell you something important!" As he said that, he ignored Gu Siming's contemptuous look and smiled at Lu Yao, "I came here to dance with this beautiful lady!"
Lu Yao hadn't recovered from the shock before, and was surprised again when he heard this: "Looking for me?"
Gu Siming stood beside Lu Yao calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Although he was smiling, his voice made people feel cold: "You mean, you came to dance with my assistant, right?"
As expected, Lu Yao shuddered again. She glanced at Gu Siming's calm but terrifying face, and took cautious steps, trying to increase the distance between the two of them...
Why didn't anyone tell her that this job could be life-threatening?
Facing such a dangerous Gu Siming, Lin Feng, whose reflexes were as strong as an iron rod, had no intention of retreating. Instead, he became even more eager to try: "Yes! I didn't bring a dance partner today!"
Gu Siming sneered and turned to ask Lu Yao: "Do you know how to dance ballroom dance?"
Lu Yao didn't even dare to look at him, and shook his head repeatedly: "No! Really not!"
She was not lying, she was an idiot when it came to ballroom dancing. She still remembered how she had stepped on her unlucky partner several times during the ballroom dancing course at university, causing him to groan in pain, and every time he saw his feet, he would become "disabled" reflexively.
But after getting this answer, Gu Siming said "Oh" thoughtfully, and then agreed to Lin Feng: "Then go ahead and jump."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yao and Lin Feng were both stunned.
Not playing by the rules - this is Lu Yao's most profound impression of Gu Siming. To put it bluntly, no one can figure out what he is thinking, but Lin Feng doesn't think that much.
Although he didn't expect Gu Siming to agree to his request, since Gu Siming had already agreed, Lin Feng would definitely not miss the opportunity to dance with a beautiful woman! So he thanked Gu Siming carelessly, and then pulled Lu Yao, who looked confused, all the way to the center of the dance floor.
The slow and elegant sound of the cello floated in the hall. Because there were not many people dancing at the moment, and Lin Feng's appearance was outstanding, coupled with Lu Yao, who was already a beauty, immediately attracted the attention of most people at the banquet.
Lu Yao hesitated, but still carefully placed a hand on Lin Feng's shoulder, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Mr. Lin, I really can't dance, so you still..."
“Shh—” Lin Feng interrupted Lu Yao in a self-proclaimed cool manner, swaying his body slowly to the rhythm of the music, “Just follow my steps, I’m a very good teacher, I…”
Before Lin Feng finished his confident words, he frowned, his facial features wrinkled together, and he took a deep breath.
He lowered his head in disbelief, and what he saw was Lu Yao's left foot stepping on his right foot.
She was wearing a pair of 10cm high ultra-thin high heels today. A drop of cold sweat the size of a bean squeezed out of Lin Feng's forehead.
Lu Yao hastily retracted her foot, her face flushed with embarrassment: "I really can't do it! And I always accidentally step on my dance partner. Mr. Lin, forget it!"
Lin Feng tried his best to ignore the excruciating pain, and still managed to smile gracefully, saying, "It's okay, there are exceptions to everything. Believe in me, and believe in yourself...ah!"
Lu Yao's sharp high heels once again stepped accurately on his soft leather shoes.
This scream was so loud that it shocked everyone. Several people nearby who knew the situation couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly. Even a thick-skinned person like Lin Feng felt his cheeks burning unbearably.
Lu Yao's face was almost buried in the ground. She didn't even have the courage to persuade Lin Feng to give up on her again. The only thing she could do was to follow Lin Feng's "stubborn" steps and swing left and right, back and forth. At the same time, Lin Feng's cries of pain, sometimes forbearing and sometimes heroic, kept ringing in her ears...
A few minutes of ballroom dancing seemed to last several hours. Lu Yao forgot how she got back to Gu Siming. She felt as if her whole body was not her own , not to mention Lin Feng, who was staggering beside her and looked so pale that he might fall down at any moment.
She stood in front of Gu Siming dejectedly, not daring to raise her head.
Alas, Gu Siming must think she is extremely embarrassed, right? She can't even dance a simple ballroom dance well. It's rare to find a useless assistant like her nowadays...
Lu Yao was immersed in the sadness of failure, but suddenly heard Gu Siming's low voice, with a hint of smile: "How does it feel to dance with a beautiful woman?"
This question was obviously directed at Lin Feng. And...and why did she hear a hint of gloating?
Lu Yao could no longer care about anything else and suddenly raised her head to look at Gu Siming.
Sure enough, Gu Siming's originally cold face became a little more lively because of his playful smile at this moment, and his pair of dark eyes also flashed with mischievous light, like two stars in the dark night.
Although Lin Feng was also laughing, he sighed with great regret and answered sincerely: "Thank you, President Gu, for your kindness! I will remember this lesson."
Gu Siming didn't comment, his thin lips curved again, no longer paying attention to Lin Feng, and was about to leave, but he found that Lu Yao was still standing there, so he asked lightly: "Why don't you leave?"
His pleasant voice gradually merged with the soothing sound of the cello, as if they were one. Lu Yao stared at Gu Siming's figure and the faint, almost transparent smile on his face like a wooden stake... In a flash, she suddenly understood!
It turned out that Gu Siming did it on purpose! He agreed to Lin Feng's request because he knew that he couldn't dance, because he calculated that Lin Feng would make a fool of himself!
Thinking of the confident and proud smile on Gu Siming's face, Lu Yao's heart seemed to be suffocated and paused for a second, and then he secretly sighed - this president is extremely cunning!
