Chapter 74: A different Yu Yuehan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
We are talking about three months worth of salary as a reward now! She would even dance like someone who was possessed by a spirit, much less just a normal dance!
As for integrity—don’t mention something that she had not previously had.
After Nian Xiaomu cursed silently in her heart, she looked at Yu Yuehan immediately, just like a lackey.
“I will do anything that Young Master orders!”
He was her greatest financial backer currently, so she definitely had to serve him well before she got her hands on her rewards.
The way Nian Xiaomu looked at him was like she was looking at a gigantic gold pig; one that could be exchanged for cash…
Yu Yuehan squinted his eyes and glanced at Nian Xiaomu, who had instantly adopted a fully bootlicking expression on her face. Her bright and brilliant eyes emitted an enchanting ray of light.
He was used to seeing people who constantly flattered him and especially hated these kinds of people.
When he saw her face full of flattery, however, he indescribably felt that she was cute.
It was just like the adorable look on Xiao Liuliu’s face when she was hugging his legs because she had been caught eating on the sly…
Yu Yuehan retracted his gaze, curved the corner of his mouth, and said, “I recall someone telling me just now that she does not know how to dance.”
“Indeed, I am not very good at it, but I am willing to learn!” Nian Xiaomu perked her head up and stood straight and still, just like an obedient student.
She stared at him anxiously.
“Young Master, this is the opening dance of the party. What if problems arise later because you have to suddenly change of partners…” the a.s.sistant said hurriedly. Halfway through, Yu Yuehan halted his a.s.sistant abruptly with a just a glance from his eye.
Nian Xiaomu understood everything, even though the a.s.sistant did not finish his piece.
With pursed lips and fidgeting hands, she asked weakly, “Can’t I learn it now?”
Her heart ached for the reward that was so near, but so far away from her!
“Yes,” the man answered with a deep voice that emitted a hint of s.e.xiness.
When he finished what he said, he held her hand before she had the chance to react and led her to the center of the ballroom.
Her hand was very small, and her long, slender fingers were weak and delicate.
Yu Yuehan’s gaze flickered as he held her hand tightly.
Afterward, he held her hand as if nothing had happened and walked up to the stage as the center of everyone’s attention.
He reached out and hooked on to her slim waist before pulling her toward him.
“Hold on to my waist with one of your hands.”
“…” Nian Xiaomu was still surprised by the fact that he had actually agreed to teach her how to dance when she was suddenly looped into a warm embrace. She was slightly stunned.
The powerful and overbearing scent of the man a.s.sailed her nostrils.
He carried a sense of royalty that was unique to himself; an aura so strong that her heart palpitated profusely.
Especially his hand that was still holding on to her waist—she felt as if her skin was on fire from the warmth that spread from within his palms and subconsciously wanted to keep away.
“Hmm?” Yu Yuehan fastened her slender body into his embrace. He seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with her and raised his eyebrows lightly.
“… I am nervous,” Nian Xiaomu muttered guiltily when she met his questioning eyes.
Yu Yuehan’s eyes sparkled lightly, and he tightened his grip on her waist. “You won’t be nervous anymore if you keep thinking about the three months’ worth of salary.”
Nian Xiaomu: “…”
She braced her body instinctively when the music sounded.
Just when she was worried that she would do something embarra.s.sing, an arm laid on her lower back and beckoned her deeper into his embrace. A magnetic voice rang in her ears, “Clear your mind and follow my footsteps.”
Nian Xiaomu lifted her head at the voice, and her gaze clashed right into his deep eyes.
The galaxy and the ocean seemed to be hidden in his eyes; his eyes were so deep that it seemed to stretch beyond the horizon.
A appeasing look penetrated his tranquil eyes.
After he only gave her a light glance, she nodded her head obediently and felt indescribably a.s.sured.
She followed his steps and moved her legs slowly…
The scene of the two of them dancing leisurely under the resplendent crystal chandelier was so beautiful, just like a painting.
From their coordination and rapport, it seemed as if they had rehea.r.s.ed countless times.
