Chapter 38

Luo Tingxue raised her brows smugly.

Old Mr. Luo knew that his granddaughter had always been arrogant, confident and had her own goals and ideas… he was sure that she was too mature for her age and was used to being competitive.

Regardless of what she did, she would definitely insist on reaching her goals!

He was truly afraid that she would become too obsessed with Bo Hancheng and end up taking it too harshly!

He wanted to persuade her further.

At this very moment, Shen Lu pulled Xi Mubai onto the stage and removed their masks. “Grandpa Luo, we must find out who the troublemaker was. We must stand up for Little Princess!”

Shen Lu then shifted her gaze onto Luo Tingxue and said with a look of awe in his eyes, “Little Princess, there are plenty of fish in the sea. That Teacher Bo doesn’t know any better! Since he turned you down, why don’t I dance with you?”

Upon hearing his words, Luo Tingxue glared at him in annoyance and chastised, “Shen Lu, you’re so indecent. If I remember correctly, you and Mubai are both art students and Teacher Bo is your teacher too. Please show him some respect!”

Everyone else did not matter to her, except Bo Hancheng… In fact, she would have left if it was not her own birthday party!

“Fine, fine, fine, I’ll listen to you and respect him from now on, Little Princess!”

A smile graced his handsome face.

Unfortunately, Luo Tingxue did not take another glance at him and instead gazed at Xi Mubai. “Mubai, please do the first dance with me! There are plenty of guests down there and I can’t let them wait too long.”

If she did not start the first dance as soon as possible, the guests would grow impatient and the Luo Family would come off as impolite.

“Alright.”

Xi Mubai agreed and bent forward in a gentlemanly manner to invite Luo Tingxue to a dance.

They were both the most good looking students of Capital University and were termed the two elites… but in reality, they were just best friends who could not develop romantic feelings for each other, perhaps because their personalities were too similar.

Shen Lu hung his head low and a look of dejection formed on his face as he watched Luo Tingxue and Xi Mubai make their way down the stairs.

“I didn’t expect that you’d find a crush before I do, congratulations!”

Xi Mubai put an arm around Luo Tingxue and gave her his blessings.

Luo Tingxue smiled faintly and twirled gracefully. Her beautiful features could be seen and no one could take their eyes off her.

“We’re both equally good at studying, so there’s no clear winner between us. Why don’t we bet on our affinity and see who can get into a relationship first?”

Upon hearing her answer, Xi Mubai said in a self-deprecating manner, “We don’t have to make a bet. I’m obviously going to lose!”

After all, he did not fancy anyone and thus, would not have a girlfriend!

Next, they stopped talking and began dancing in sync.

However, they were both rather distracted.

Luo Tingxue was thinking about Luo Zheng and Bo Hancheng, and wondering if the two were related to each other.

On the other hand, Xi Mubai was also thinking about the girl who dashed onto the stage in a bright red dress and behaved interestingly. He could not help but feel curious about her.

Who… exactly is she?

“Hey… slow down… I can’t catch up… ”

“Brother… where are you going… tell me… ”

“My feet hurt… let go of me… let me walk on my own… ”

…

Luo Zheng allowed him to drag her by her wrist while she tagged along.

He was tall, trim, buff and had a pair of long legs.

It was a huge disadvantage for Luo Zheng, who was much shorter than him and hence could not catch up to him at all. To make matters worse, she was wearing stilettos. How tragic!
