Chapter 2107 - 2107 Twins
2107 Twins
Qiao Weiyang placed her hand on his. Her palm was warm, and it was held by his dry and warm palm.
Music started playing in the hall.
It was not a gentle waltz but the pa.s.sionate One Step Away. It was several times more difficult than a waltz.
This was Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian’s first time dancing.
It had always been difficult to dance such pa.s.sionate steps without prior cooperation.
However, the two of them cooperated very well. After they spun onto the dance floor together, they immediately followed the rhythm of the music. Every dance step happened to be on the rhythm.
As the rhythm of the music became more and more pa.s.sionate, their steps also carried the pa.s.sion and lingering feeling of the music.
The people around them were attracted by their figures, and their eyes revealed envy and amazement.
It had been a long time since Qiao Weiyang had danced.
It was rare for them to cooperate so well this time.
Although it was her first time dancing with him, they seemed to have practiced it hundreds of times.
She could follow his every step smoothly even with her eyes closed.
When the song ended, she was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and her face became even more rosy and charming.
She ended the song with a precise dip.
Su Zhuoqian placed his palm on her waist, lowered his eyes, and looked straight into her eyes.
There was a round of enthusiastic applause.
However, he turned a deaf ear to it. He could only see her now.
The dance music ended and was replaced by other soothing music.
Someone walked to Su Zhuoqian’s side and whispered, “Mr. Su, the c.o.c.ktail party has begun.”
Su Zhuoqian gentlemanly helped Qiao Weiyang stand at the side and said in a low voice, “I’ll go over first.”
Qiao Weiyang nodded gently.
She picked up a gla.s.s of red wine and looked at the stage.
Su Zhuoqian stood on the stage, and the audience automatically fell silent.
He gave a speech for tonight. It was a few simple sentences, but there were no unnecessary words. His leaders.h.i.+p temperament was obvious.
Although he had softened his tone and was not too cold, the oppressive aura on his body could not be ignored.
After Su Zhuoqian finished his simple speech, he left the stage.
Feeling the powerful pressure disappear, the emotions of the people below the stage clearly relaxed.
Before Qiao Weiyang could finish her gla.s.s of red wine, Zhou Lang walked over.
He walked over to her and whispered something.
Qiao Weiyang put down the gla.s.s of red wine and slowly walked out.
The people in the venue were dancing at this moment, so no one noticed her.
After Qiao Weiyang walked out, she saw Su Zhuoqian’s car parked at the entrance of the hotel.
As she walked over, someone opened the car door and welcomed her in.
As she walked, the phoenix hairpin on her head swayed gently. When she entered Su Zhuoqian’s line of sight, he said in a low and slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, “It suits you very well.”
Qiao Weiyang guessed that Xiao Bao was the one who came up with the game. Xiao Bao was the only one who could play such a childish game so unscrupulously in the venue and call Qiao Jierou a pheasant.
However, the father and son’s att.i.tude toward Qiao Jierou was surprisingly the same. Qiao Weiyang did not expect this.
“Aren’t you afraid that people will say that you’re lacking in etiquette for chasing the guests away in public?”
“I’m the host. Do I need to consider other people’s thoughts when I’m the host?”
Qiao Weiyang smiled faintly. “Thank you.”
She was not only thanking him for protecting her in public but also thanking him for the gown he provided today.
In fact, she had a good relations.h.i.+p with Secret.
However, he was the one who ordered the gown and jewelry for her, so Qiao Weiyang naturally had to owe him a favor.
“I regret asking Lu Mingjue to help you get this set of clothes.”
Su Zhuoqian took off his coat and placed it on Qiao Weiyang’s shoulder.
It wasn’t that she didn’t look good, but she was too good-looking. Her perfect shoulders and neckline were exposed to everyone.
“Besides, do we really… have to say those two words between us?”
Qiao Weiyang understood that he was referring to the words ‘thank you’.
She smiled, but her tone remained solemn. “Sometimes, it’s necessary. I’ve never had the habit of accepting too many gifts. Zhuoqian, even though I’ve agreed to try to be with you, I should maintain my self-awareness.”
“You have to try to get used to it…” He looked at her seriously. “When I like someone, I don’t know how far I’ll go for them.”
His gaze was too hot, reminding Qiao Weiyang of when they were dancing just now.
Those pa.s.sionate dance steps and the tacit understanding she seemed to share with him…
Her face burned. He looked cold and aloof on the outside, but his words to her were as tense and pa.s.sionate as the beat of those dance steps.
No one could resist them.
“I’ll try to get used to it and accept it while preserving who I am,” Qiao Weiyang replied softly.
There were compromises to be made when it came to love.
However, the biggest premise was that she had to be loyal to herself.
“Are we still going back to the event location?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
“No. At a c.o.c.ktail party like this, it’s enough for me to appear for a short while.”
“It’s a pity for you. The red wine at the scene tonight tasted very good.” Qiao Weiyang had drunk almost three gla.s.ses. She missed the taste.
She used to rely on red wine to sleep.
After getting together with Xiao Bao, she did not need to rely on alcohol to help her sleep, so she had not drunk properly for a long time.
Tonight, she had the chance to taste three different flavors. The taste of red wine was still in her mouth.
“Really?” Su Zhuoqian’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e.
“Yes, that gla.s.s of Bordeaux was the best…”
Before Qiao Weiyang could finish, her lips felt cold.
The man’s magnified handsome face appeared in front of her. Her slightly stunned face was reflected in his cold eyes.
Qiao Weiyang subconsciously closed her eyes, but her fingers curled up tightly.
In the past, even Lin Heng had never kissed her like this…
In the first two years they were together, she was still too young. Her idea of love was just to chat and take a walk together.
Later on, she pretended to be ugly and old. Most of the time, she only had a work-related relations.h.i.+p with Lin Heng.
Even if they kissed occasionally, it was just a light kiss.
In fact, before and after giving birth, she was disgusted and resistant to Lin Heng’s kiss…
Perhaps deep down, she already had a vague feeling that he was cheating on her.
This time, she realized that it was not a bad thing…
In fact, she sensed that the man opposite her was also a little awkward.
When Su Zhuoqian let go of her, Qiao Weiyang had yet to retract her thoughts.
His voice, mixed with heat, entered her ears. “You’re right. The red wine tonight does taste very good.”
Without waiting for Qiao Weiyang to speak, he continued in a low voice, “My only regret is that I didn’t get to taste last night’s red wine.”
