After Jing Xi fell, her beautiful dress formed a graceful arc. The man held her, her body landing right into his embrace.
She held her chest, her mouth slightly opened, incessantly gasping for air. Her eyes were filled with panic.
Lucky! It was lucky his majesty the king caught her. Otherwise, she would’ve broken her leg and fractured her arm today.
Huo Yunshen exchanged gazes with her before helping her out. He led her down the stage back to her seat.
At this time, Huo Sanyan had already asked the people responsible for the dance to investigate the cause. When she saw Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi come over, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know something like this would happen. Xiaoxi, are you alright?”
Huo Yunshen was very upset. However, one couldn’t tell because he was wearing the mask. He didn’t say anything. Jing Xi replied, “I’m fine, President Huo.”
“That’s good. I already asked people to investigate the cause. Go ahead and sit!”
After Huo Sanyan asked the two of them to sit, she went up on stage and gave a short speech. She declared they would definitely thoroughly investigate what had happened just now.
Lin Xianjing was below the stage. She felt a bit fearful, fearful that they might find out it was her. However, since what was done was done, she could only force herself to act calmly.
After Huo Sanyan gave her speech, a few other awards were given. What followed was the free dance session where everyone was free to dance with their partners.
A very nice melody sounded out and quite a few people went onto the dance floor to dance.
Huo Yunshen summoned up his courage and asked, “Jing Xiaoxi, do you want to dance with me?”
“I’m sorry but I don’t know how to.”
Jing Xi rejected him without even thinking.
Huo Yunshen felt that Jing Xi might’ve forgotten she knew how to dance. She danced so well in the past.
He remembered the first time she danced in the small town in southern Estan. She danced a passionate dance and won first place that night…
If Jing Xi didn’t know how to dance, that meant there might not be anyone who knew how to dance.
Right now, not only was the woman beside him not willing to dance with him, she even introduced others to him. “Our company has many beautiful young girls. Why don’t you invite any of them to dance? If you are too shy to ask, I can help you invite them for you.”
Huo Yunshen couldn’t help but lower his head to look at her. She really filled his belly with anger. Did she really think he just really wanted to dance?
He just wanted to dance with her and accompany her to regain the feelings of the past they had together.
Huo Sanyan was sitting beside Jing Xi. She heard their conversation just now. She encouraged her, “Aren’t you guys going to dance?”
Jing Xi replied, “It is not really convenient for me to dance right now.”
Huo Yunshen understood what she meant. She was worried about the baby in her belly. “It’s fine. Just dance slowly.”
Jing Xi still shook her head. “President Huo, I don’t feel very well. Can I take leave and go back now?”
Huo Sanyan couldn’t see her face but she guessed it was because of the shock she received just now. Otherwise, her hands wouldn’t be so ice-cold.
“Okay! Then you go ahead and head back!”
Jing Xi thanked her and then said goodbye to the king before lifting her skirt and leaving hastily.
After Jing Xi left, Huo Sanyan said, “I feel embarrassed. It’s all my fault for not doing enough preparation. I swept away your spirits. What do we do now?”
The two of them had initially planned to use tonight as an opportunity for Huo Yunshen to have a romantic dance with Jing Xi. They wanted to see if it could help Jing Xi regain some memory. But now, she had already left.
She asked him what they should do but what else could they do?
