Chapter 328: Blessed
Nikolai raised a brow on what Mineah just said to him. Judging from what was happening, it would seem that his wife had finally seen through his ruse. Then again, she was practically staring right at him at the moment even though she clearly didn’t know that it was him. It was fun seeing her look around as if she was on a treasure hunt. After all, she was the true treasure in this analogy even as she did her best to switch from partner to partner to get more coverage of the area.
Of course, he allowed it all to happen as well. It was fun seeing Mineah struggle for once. He did his best to make things hard for her, and thankfully, it would seem that all of his planning and effort hadn’t been wasted.
After all, he would never let his wife dance with any other man other than himself.
[Are you sure about that?] he questioned, doing his best not to give himself away as he let her pull him along the dance floor. [Maybe you’re mistaken.]
[You sound a bit scared there, Lai,] Mineah taunted. [Are we actually staring at each other right now?]
[In more ways than one,] he cryptically answered as he began to pull Mineah away from the edge of the room. [Maybe you’re just not thinking things through correctly, actually.]
[Hey, I didn’t tell you to give me a hint.]
Before he could reply, Mineah went ahead and attempted to swap partners yet again. Of course, seeing as he didn’t want to get left behind, Nikolai deftly replaced the man that his wife just picked, allowing him to continue the charade of being the unknown man leading her through the celebrations.
[You clearly needed it,] he chuckled back. [In fact, why not focus more on what’s in front of you?]
