Chapter 424: Eating Her As Food
"Uhm, are you ready for the dance?" the girl robbed him of his line. A strange smile appeared on Han Zhou’s lips when he looked at her extended hand.
He was not planning to dance tonight. He was in the mood to smile at everyone, socialize a bit and then leave without getting more attention. But this girl! When had she followed the script! He could already feel the narrowed eyes of her grandfather boring a hole behind his head.
"Of course, my wife." Xia Yu flinched when he pressed her hand tightly. This was going to leave a mark. But the smile on his face did not falter a bit as he pulled her toward the stage.
His grip on her waist was so strong as if he wanted to snap her waist into two. His smile and his actions did not match at all.
"Smile, or everyone would think you are not happy with me. How will you get all the attention of those rich families then?" his eyes were filled with ridicule. If only he knew that he found them only cumbersome. But the real Lei mei would have loved them.
She could only force a smile and continue. But slowly he frowned.
"You do not know dancing!" Xia Yu stiffened as she heard it. She belong to a poor family where she was busy in earning with her mother. When would she have time to learn ball dancing!?? But she had learnt it for a week when she was given her sister’s position.
The stick in that french man’s hand had given her enough confidence that she could dance or she would not have asked him. But she also asked him because sghe had belived that he would refuse her. As she looked at the growing suspicion in his eyes, she gulped.
"I am just nervous." which was not a lie. "And it pains." she added in a whidsper earning a snort from him.
