Chapter 184 - 184 The Cutie And The Beauty

While October and Lexus walked out of their own reception in a very grand way, the people left in the greenhouse continued to have a merry celebration trying to form new connections or strengthen their current connections. 

The wedding reception today had become a place where the top and elite of the business world are gathered. And this only happened because of one thing, the wedding of the two most influential families in all of the cities.

But not all of the people here are concerned with making business connections. Rather, it was another type of connection that a few of the people and that is finding their marriage partners. Some had already pushed their sons and daughters to go dance with the music at the center.

On one circular table sat Ma Rong and Yun Xixi. The two were happily chatting with flushed faces. Father Song was also there with them who was, well, busy with doting unconditionally with Mother Song. 

"Miss Ma Rong, you are so beautiful today. Aside from your pretty face, you also have the height and figure comparable to that of a model. You really look like a model, Miss Ma Rong." Yun Xixi clasped both of her hands in front of her as she goshed over Ma Rong with sparkling eyes. If one would look at her more then they would notice that she was literally jumping on her seat.

"You are very cute too, you know. How about it, wanna hang out with me after this, deary?" Ma Rong asked Yun Xixi with a very seductive voice. She then leaned her body down toward Yun Xixi making her blush profusely. Seeing the reaction of Yun Xixi, Ma Rong's smile became even more dazzlingly seductive. "You can also just call me "Sis Rong", sweetheart."

"Y-yes?" Yun Xixi's heart was pumping so loud in her c.h.e.s.t as she saw the gorgeous face of Ma Rong openly making advances on her. 'How can someone be so beautiful yet also masculine? No! No, no, no. I only have my assistant in my heart."

'Cute.' Is what Assistant Yu had instantaneously thought while looking at Yun Xixi. He was sitting on a separate table, together with Gu Chen. 

"Beautiful." Gu Chen said. The moment he said that, he was startled himself as he had never thought that he had just blurted that out unconsciously. Did someone heard him say that? He really hoped that no one had.

As Gu Chen was looking around, he saw Assistant Yu looking at him weirdly while holding his glass of wine with a hand full pulsating veins. Gu Chen can feel from where he was seating at Yu Xi's dark aura leaking out of his body and attacking him.

What did he even do to this guy? Gu Chen was speechless. 

"I..."

"Did you just say "beautiful"?" Assistant Yu's eyes turned darker than it usually was as he fixed his eyes on Gu Chen who was looking completely lost. 

Was Gu Chen perhaps looking at Yun Xixi? Well, Yun Xixi is such a good-looking lady with a likeable personality. 

Although Gu Chen was lost, he was someone who does not like to be cornered by anyone. That is, the only exception would be Lexus and October, the new addition. Well, it would be suicide if ever he would offend Mrs Song and he does not have any plan on dying anytime soon. 

"Oh, that? Well, it was just a slip of the tongue." Gu Chen coolly said and diverted his gaze on the wine on his hand. While acting nonchalant, his eyes would sometimes wander on the table where Yun Xixi was sitting and this happened to be noticed by Assistant Yu who's facial expression frozen up. 

Assistant Yu's eyes squinted and his heart hammered loudly in his c.h.e.s.t, "You seem to look at the table's direction. Interested on someone?"

He was not even sure why he was asking this. But the thought of having the possibility that his friend, Gu Chen, was looking at Yun Xixi was starting to piss him off. 

"Well..." Gu Chen looked at Assistant Yu before turning his head to look at that beautiful figure sitting elegantly. Her smile even captivated him. 

Suddenly, Assistant Yu saw Gu Chen stood up from his seat and started to walk toward Yun Xixi. His alarms in his head went off as he started to panic. 

"Wait!" Before Assistant Yu could stop Gu Chen, he was already too late for the guy had already reached the table. 

'No! I can't let him be the first dance of Yun Xixi. I have to be the one who'll dance with her.'

Thinking that, he walked toward them as swiftly as he could. Then, he froze up as soon as he heard what Gu Chen had said and saw where he was looking at. 

"Miss, may I have a dance with you?" Gu Chen asked as he offered his hand as gentlemanly as he could toward Ma Rong. His nerves were actually trembling from nervousness yet he had to ask her first before anyone else will take her away first. If that happened, then he would definitely regret not doing anything.

That was what he thought...well, not really. He had actually learned this from Lexus: Be decisive and seize the opportunity before you.

Ma Rong looked up and saw the person she think was familiar. It was that man who had helped her one time at the street. Why was he here? She did not notice her at the wedding ceremony.

But what did he say to her? Wait, was he talking to her?

"Miss Ma, may I have the honor of having a dance with you?" Gu Chen asked again. He felt the cold sweat trickling down his back at this moment. Was he too forward? Did he use the wrong words? Did he mess up?

Ma Rong was dumbfounded. She did not expect that someone would ask her for a dance. She had never experience this before so this was a first. Considering that, then she really does not know what to do in this kind of situation. 

How should I act? Wait, should I put my hand on his or should I just nod? Should I smile? What expression am I wearing right now? More than that, how do I look? Ahh!!! I don't know anymore!

Gu Chen saw the complicated look Ma Rong while looking warily at him. Was he such a scary guy for her to have that look on her pretty face? Maybe...maybe he should give up for now and not scare her off. 

"S-sis Rong?" Yun Xixi called out to Ma Rong who had literally frozen up in place.

"Okay." Ma Rong answered while fiddling with her dress and a suspicious blush crept onto her pretty face.
