Chapter 185 - 185 To Each Relationship

Gu Chen was surprised. He was already about to give up from asking Ma Rong for a dance and yet he did not expect she would actually accept it at the last minute. For a moment, Gu Chen froze up and only came back to reality when a a soft hand was placed on his offered hand. 

He firmly grasped it and gently led Ma Rong toward the center of the greenhouse where other people were dancing in a slow dance. As the two stood side by side and turned to face each other, they looked like two suns shining equally yet it did not outshine the other. Instead, their brightness were that of a gentle hue. It was beautiful.

That uneasiness and shyness that Ma Rong used while she averted her eyes away from Gu Chen's hard and burning stare was glaring yet beautiful. 

"Beautiful." Gu Chen blurted out again before he could stop himself from opening his mouth.

"What?" Ma Rong was taken aback by this and looked up. 

Uh...well..." Gu Chen panicked a little. He should not let himself be seen so panicky by Ma Rong. That's just too uncool. With that in mind, he cleared his throat and tried to calm down. He then looked down and tried to act cool as he smoothly placed held her hand on one hand and placed the other at the small of her back. He gently pulled her closer to him and started to take the lead on the dance.

"What I said was you look very beautiful." Gu Chen said, this time more clear and crisp.

"Oh. Thanks." Ma Rong smiled forcefully and felt her heart skipped erratically in her c.h.e.s.t. It was a compliment but she does not believe that such words do not hold any meaning to it. This was just him being polite to her. 

As this was unfolding, Yun Xixi was left with Assistant Yu glaring at her intensely. Well, it was not really a glare but it was just too piercing as if making a hole on her head. In addition, her heart was also jumping like crazy in her c.h.e.s.t as if wanting to jump out of her c.h.e.s.t. 

She was really trembling in nervousness as a slight blush crept on her cheeks. However, what she did not get was why Assistant Yu was looking at her like this. It was really making her wonder. 

"Miss Yun." 

"Ah! Y-yes?" She flinched and mechanically turned to Assistant Yu. She then gulped a lump in her throat as she waited for him to continue what he was saying.

Was this what she thought was going to happen? Was it?!

"Will you give me the chance to have a d--"

"Yes!" Yun Xixi grabbed Assistant Yu's hand with both hands and literally pulled him toward the area where other were dancing. Coincidentally, they arrived near Gu Chen and Ma Rong.

Assistant Yu was not able to react instantly. He did not foresaw that he would be the one to be pulled by Yun Xixi. But then again, this was what made him look at her more and more. He was getting more interested and drawn to her. She was just too cute and bright that he could not stop looking at her way.

"Ahm...so, shouldn't you hold me by my waist already?" Yun Xixi cutely said this with sparkling eyes but still successfully sent a seductive glance at Assistant Yu. 

"Ah..yes." He gulped a lump in his throat before holding her by her very slim waist. Wait, was she this slim? It felt like she will break if he will hold her little tighter. His body tensed.

At this, he heard a giggle as tinkling as an angel's and turned to look at her only to see her sweetly smiling at him. His heart thumped in his c.h.e.s.t and a tinge of pink dyed his high cheeks. 

"Why are you so tensed? Your body is so stiff, Sir Yu." Yun Xixi said, still giggling. She wrapped her hands around his neck and moved closer to him until their bodies touched. It was so close that they could feel each other's heat.

"Too...too close." Assistant yu felt his body getting hot.

"Yeah. Isn't that how coupple dances are?" She tilted her head sweetly and wondered loudly, "Don't you want to?"

"No, of course this was how it was supposed to be. Yes." He awkwardly let out a laugh. At this, he accidentally bumped into her b.r.e.a.s.ts making her stiffen for a moment then got fl.u.s.tered. While he was panicking, he smelled her candy-like perfume that was mild yet refreshing at the same time. It was such a smell making him want to smell more of her.

While Yun Xixi and Assistant Yu were getting too comfortable with each other, Gu Chen and Ma Rong were...well, not that good (I think).

"I'm not sure if I introduced myself before but I am Gu Chen." He said, introducing himself to her. "Well, we met before in the street but I think you don't remember me much."

Ma Rong's body immediately sitffened when she heard his words and her eyes slowly widened in surprised but more of horror. 

'What? He...he recognized me?' Ma Rong slowly took a step back and pushed Gu Chen's arms off of her making Gu Chen frown in confusion.

"Did...did I say something wrong, Miss Ma Rong?" He asked out of deep concern. He took a step forward and grab a hold of her again and refused to let go of her. If he would let go of this hand, he would regret it for sure. 

"No, you didn't." Ma Rong averted her eyes again and bit her lip.

Gu Chen tightened his lips and stared hard at her uneasiness. Yes, he might regret it later but he just could not make himself look at her with such a conflicted face. 

"Okay." Gu Chen released her hand reluctantly but still forced out a smile, "Thank you for this one dance. Though I really meant it when I said you are beautiful, in your suit and in your dress."
