Chapter 857: Chapter 857 Full Moon Wine (4)
“No, to be precise, it is the second time.” Cheng Huan corrected her.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan glanced at him again and did not reply.
On the other side of the room, Xiangyi had just come out of the bathroom. When he returned to the hall, he saw s.h.i.+ Nuannuan dancing with a man on the dance floor. He saw the hand on her waist and started to question his own decision.
It seemed that only a man like that could be in the same world as her.
Casually picking up a gla.s.s of red wine, he walked toward the open-air balcony outside the banquet hall.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan turned around just in time to brush past him.
Strange, was Xiangyi OK?
s.h.i.+ Yuting and Zuo Weiyi were also dancing. When they saw Nuannuan dancing with a man they did not know, Zuo Weiyi was slightly surprised.
Nuannuan? Why did she..
She turned around and wanted to look for Xiangyi in the crowd, but could see no sign of him.
But when she thought about it again, it also didn’t seem right to have Xiangyi and Nuannuan dance together so openly right now.
She could not help but look at s.h.i.+ Le, who was chatting and laughing with an old man not far away. Moreover, his eyes were looking straight at them, but his gaze seemed to have stopped on Nuannuan.
“What is Grandfather looking at?” She asked her dance partner.
s.h.i.+ Yuting looked at his grandpa as well, and followed his gaze towards s.h.i.+ Nuannuan.
When he saw the man who was dancing with her, his brows furrowed. “Cheng Huan?”
Hearing this, Zuo Weiyi also looked at the man who was dancing with Nuannuan.
“You know him?”
“He’s the successor of the Cheng Financial Group. The chairman has been my grandfather’s old comrade for many years.” He narrowed his eyes. Looking at his grandpa’s expression, could it be that he wanted to set Nuannuan up with that successor?
Although a dance did not say much, Zuo Weiyi was a little worried about Xiangyi.
Which man would be willing to have his beloved dance with a stranger?
She remembered that s.h.i.+ Yuting did not allow her to have any physical contact with the opposite s.e.x at all.
On the balcony, Xiangyi stood with an empty wine gla.s.s in his hand as he looked at the night scene of Z City. His heart was very calm.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. “What? The person you like is dancing with another man, but you’re hiding here to heal yourself?”
Xiangyi turned around and took a look at the person who had come.
He was a little surprised by the person who had just arrived. However, on second thought, it seemed normal for Miss Manli to be invited to the banquet.
“Miss Manli.” Due to his status, he greeted her respectfully as a sign of etiquette.
Holding a goblet, Manli was dressed in a light yellow evening gown. She looked seductive and s.e.xy. Coupled with her n.o.ble status, it was difficult for a man not to be tempted.
But Xiangyi’s heart was as still as water.
“You can call me Manli,” said she.
Xiangyi only looked at her, but in the end, he did not say anything.
“Are all the men in C Country so cold? You and s.h.i.+ Yuting.” But Manli was not angry at his coldness. Instead, she smiled gently and walked to his side, looking at the same view he looked at earlier.
The song ended.
Zuo Weiyi quickly pulled Nuannuan to the side.
“Aren’t you afraid that Xiangyi will be jealous if you dance with a man you don’t know?”
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan looked back at Weiyi, “That person is Cheng Huan. When I was in a car accident, he was the one who sent me to the hospital. I didn’t plan to dance with him, but… he suddenly pulled me onto the dance floor. I didn’t have time to react.”
