Chapter 206 - 206 Costume Ball

206 Costume Ball

When Xu Meng heard He Miao’s sincere praise, she moved closer to her and asked mysteriously, “It’s beautiful. Can this charm Li Ming tonight?”

“It can! It definitely can!” He Miao tapped the tip of her nose in amusement and started to change.

When she put on the princess dress herself, she realized how difficult it was to be a princess. The length of the skirt was so long that she would accidentally step on it when she walked, not to mention the pair of high heels that were more than ten centimeters long.

“Hold on to me.” He Miao pitifully placed her hand in Xu Meng’s palm and followed her carefully, step by step.

After leaving the classroom, He Miao realized that Jing Yan had not left. She lifted her dress and slowly walked up to him. With the help of her high heels, she could even look Jing Yan in the eye.

“Why are you still here? You don’t have to wait for me. I’ll go back with Mengmeng after this.”

“I also want to participate.” Seeing her like this, Jing Yan regretted letting her attend the party. He could not wait to hide such a beautiful baby, so how could he let her show her face in public and stay with a group of men until so late at night?

“Ah?” He Miao was shocked. He looked at Xu Meng tentatively. “Why don’t Mengmeng and I go in and ask the class rep first? You wait for me here.

Jing Yan pursed his lips tightly. Hearing that she was going to find Li Ming, he was in a bad mood. He grabbed her arm and refused to let go.

Seeing this, Xu Meng snickered and took the initiative to say, “Alright, alright, I’ll go in and ask the class rep myself. You guys wait for my good news here.”

“I’ll have to trouble you then, Mengmeng.” He Miao was embarrassed to let her good friend run errands for such a small matter.

Xu Meng waved her hand and said, “You’re just too polite with me. Actually, based on our relationship, I wouldn’t even frown if you asked me to climb a mountain of daggers or plunge into a sea of fire!”

“Alright, I know you’re the best.” He Miao pushed her into the house helplessly. Go on, I’ll wait for you here.

After Xu Meng left, Jing Yan pulled her back to him as if he was being a little awkward. Unexpectedly, He Miao had never worn such high heels before. She lost her balance and fell into Jing Yan’s arms. Jing Yan hugged her.

“You’re the one who threw yourself into my arms.” Jing Yan lowered his head and looked at the well-behaved person in his arms with a smirk.

He Miao hurriedly stood up and pushed him away, the tips of her ears turning pink from embarrassment. “I didn’t. You were the one who pulled me. We were just talking. Why did you have to suddenly scare me?”

“You just said Xu Meng was the best.” Jing Yan pouted his lips in jealousy and leaned close to her ear, asking, “I want to ask you, how am I not as good as her?”

“She’s a woman!” He Miao raised his hand and tapped his chest in a fit of pique.

Jing Yan felt a cat’s paw on his chest, and it tickled his heart. He quickly held her hand to stop her from moving. “So what if she’s a woman? In your heart, who is the most important? Me or Xu Meng?”

“How old are you, President Jing?” He Miao pulled her hand back helplessly and rolled her eyes at him.

Jing Yan grabbed her hand again and was about to say something when Xu Meng suddenly ran out of the classroom with Li Ming and said loudly, “Goddess, the class rep has agreed! Please let Young Master Jing in!”

While they were talking, Li Ming had already walked up to them. His deep eyes looked at the two of them holding hands, and the smile on his face faded. “Since you’re here, let’s go in and enjoy ourselves. There are no rules.”

Jing Yan did not reply, but lowered his head to look at He Miao. When she nodded at him, he raised his eyes again and said, “Thank you.”

Xu Meng could not read the three people’s eyes, so she waved her hand and took He Miao’s arm. “The goddess is mine tonight. Don’t fight with me for her!”

The warmth in his palm suddenly disappeared. Jing Yan’s disappointed eyes followed He Miao and the others as they left. He noticed that there was someone who was an eyesore beside him, so he slowly looked away. After shooting a cold glance at Li Ming, he followed him in.

The venue was held in an empty hall. It was large enough, comparable to a small stadium. After an afternoon of decorations, it was comparable to a formal ball held in a hotel.

As soon as He Miao entered the venue, she naturally became the center of attention. The princess dress was obviously Cheng Ying’s personal choice, and only her dress looked the most noble and elegant.

He Miao looked like a princess walking out of a fairy tale when she put it on. She was so beautiful that she forgot to breathe for a moment. She even thought that she had transmigrated into a fairy tale world. Otherwise, how could anyone be so beautiful in the real world?

Jing Yan sharply sensed everyone’s gazes and unhappily moved in front of her, which made the students who were still immersed in their beautiful fantasies come back to their senses. They looked at the gloomy Jing Yan in shock and asked incredulously, “Young master Jing! Why are you here too?”
