Joy filled Yue Yiru’s eyes as she looked at Shi Beiyu hopefully.
However, Shi Beiyu remained expressionless as he went straight to the point. “I’m not a fan of dancing. On the other hand, Sikai and Ah Mo are really good at it.”
Those words filled Old Master Shi’s eyes with rage.
If there were not so many guests around, he would have thrown a temper already!
Shi Mo wanted no part of this drama yet was dragged into it again. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Huo Sikai really wanted to get Shi Beiyu out of this mess and dance on his behalf. However, Yue Yiru was a proud person. To her, Huo Sikai would not be of her standard!
After listening to him, Old Master Leng laughed. “It’s just a dance, Ah Yu. Don’t take it so seriously. It doesn’t matter whether you’re good or not. Little Ru, go on and have a dance with Ah Yu.”
Yue Yiru looked a little troubled. “Grandpa…”
“Why are you so shy? Everyone out there is a woman.”
Yue Yiru became anxious when she heard this.
She was determined to win over Shi Beiyu that night. If she could have a dance with him, it would imply that she had defeated all the other young ladies on the floor.
Old Master Shi kept smiling and encouraging Yue Yiru too. He even shared a look with her. “Yeah, Yiru. Although it’s my birthday today, everyone knows that the main purpose is to pick a wife for this brat. Since you have finally returned from abroad, you shouldn’t miss out on such a good opportunity.”
Yue Yiru stood rooted on the ground, but it was obvious that she yearned for a dance terribly.
Standing next to Shi Beiyu, Mother Shi pulled him closer to her and whispered, “Even if you don’t want to, you still have to do it for the sake of our reputation. Otherwise, watch and see what I’ll do to that little b*tch.”
Shi Beiyu’s eyes instantly turned gloomy at Mother Shi’s words.
Mother Shi pretended not to see that. She just took a step forward and pulled a bitter-faced Yue Yiru over. With a smile, she said, “Go on, Yiru. Go have a dance with Ah Yu.”
Upon saying so, she placed Yue Yiru’s hand on Shi Beiyu’s arm…
Shi Beiyu’s expression was cold as he lifted his hand to push away the woman’s hand. However, Mother Shi pressed Yue Yiru’s hand firmly on his elbow. Her smile looked forced. “Think carefully, Ah Yu.”
Yue Yiru hesitated as a thought brushed past her mind. However, since Shi Beiyu did not budge, she decided to smile and grab onto his arm tightly. Her voice was ever so gentle as she said, “It’s just a dance, Young Master Shi.”
Mother Shi smiled and took a few steps back. She looked at the duo and said, “Yeah. Why are you so uncomfortable over a dance? Go, quickly.”
“Let’s go, Young Master Shi.”
Yue Yiru took advantage of the situation and pulled Shi Beiyu’s arm. Then, she guided him towards the main lobby.
Huo Sikai and the others could not help but tsk-tsked and shook their heads. This woman was not simple. She was no joke…
Shi Beiyu frowned before he lifted his gaze instinctively. In an instant, his eyes met with a pair of tear-streaked eyes in the crowd.
Confusion filled his mind as his body stiffened immediately. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Yinyin!
Yue Yiru was still gloating over her moment. She did not expect Shi Beiyu to stop so suddenly.
“Young Master Shi!” She hugged Shi Beiyu’s arm and shook it lightly. Her voice was gentle like water.
However, Shi Beiyu brushed her hand away abruptly and ran out of the hall without a word.
Everyone was utterly shocked to see this.
Mother Shi was the first one to speak. She bellowed sternly, “Ah Yu!!”
Old Master Shi’s fury finally showed on his face. “Ah Yu! Get back here!”
Despite that, there was no sign of Mu Siyin in the crowd before Shi Beiyu’s eyes.
Dumbfounded, he stood there frozen to the ground. Did he see someone else instead?
