"Let's go dance," Yifeng said, as he led Zhao Liying to the dance floor. He deliberately chose a spot close to where Yang Zi and Wang Yibo stood dancing.
Zhao Liying was so happy to realise that Yifeng had ulterior motives. Yang Zi and Yibo continued dancing. They acted as though Yifeng did not exist.
Everyone on the dance floor danced with smiles on their faces, when it got to the time to spin and change partners, Yifeng who was waiting for this moment, quickly let go of Zhao Liying's hand and held the spinning Yang Zi instead.
When Zhao Liying saw Yang Zi in Yifeng's arms, she wanted to stomp out of the dance floor but she changed her mind when she realised that she will be the one at a loss if she does that. She chose to dance with Wang Yibo like it ought to be.
Yang Zi raised her gaze and glared at Yifeng when he held her waist.
"Don't you dare think you can use the excuse of dancing to touch me however you want? Don't forget I can always walk out on you like I normally do," Yang Zi said coldly, feeling reluctant to dance with him..
"Why is it that he can hold you and I can't and why do you readily dance with him but is feeling reluctant to dance with me?" Yifeng asked as he began moving slowly.
"Are you getting so close to him to make me jealous?" Yifeng added when she did not say anything.
"Make you jealous?" Yang Zi scoffed, as she rolled her eyes.
"You are insane to think that you are still important to me. So, I advise that you visit your doctor to find out what is wrong with that damn brain of yours," Yang Zi said harshly, as she avoided his eyes.
"Zi Er, why and how did you become this way?" Yifeng asked in a meek tone.
"Try watching your mother die in hands of the man who claimed he loved you and your life will never remain the same," Yang Zi said, as she moved along with the rhythm of the music. Despite that they were basically fighting, their dance steps were still coordinated.
While Yifeng was hoping for this moment not to end, Yang Zi on the other hand was wishing that the time to switch partners will reach again.
"And two years ago, I was too stupid and immature to fall in love with a man who never deserved me or my love. I was too naive to let myself go back on the promise I made never to fall in love. I should have learnt my lesson from my sister's case that men are pieces of shit," Yang Zi said while looking into his eyes.
"It had just been two years..,"
"Yeah, but those two years taught me a lot of things. It has taught me never to fall for the lies of men like you," Yang Zi stated sternly.
"My Yang Zi two years ago was never foolish or immature. She was a lovely lady whose mere smile brightens the day of someone. She was fierce but never hard-hearted like the lady standing in front of me. She always had this fierce-looking in her eyes but the truth is, she was the most innocent woman I had ever met...,"
"You think this way because you didn't know the woman you fell in love with at all. She was nothing innocent but she was a cold-blooded murderer whose hands were soiled with the blood of so many people. Get that one fact right, Li Yifeng," Yang Zi whispered into his ears, only to pull away immediately. The instant she finished talking it was time again to change partners. Despite not wanting to part with her, Yifeng had no choice but to spin her around. She ended up in Wang Yibo's arms once again.
"What did that jerk keep whispering into your ears?" Wang Yibo asked, as he momentarily flashed Yifeng a murderous glance.
"Leave the jerk to his stupid beliefs," Yang Zi said, not speaking more than that. They both continue dancing until the music stopped.
After the music stopped, Yang Zi hastily walked away from the dance floor before Wang Yibo could hold her.
"Darn that jerk for doing that in front of Cutie Pie, now look how hurt she has become because of what he and that shameless lady of his did," Wang Yibo said spitefully. If not for that they were just so many people present in the hall, he would have walked up to him and punched him hard in the face.
"Not you also. Why am I bumping into so many bad lucks in the party today," Yang Zi, whose path was just obstructed by a middle-aged lady said rudely?
"I can see you are still alive and not only that but you have become so brazen face to still act lovey-dovey with the same man who killed your mother. Since you are so lucky to be alive, I wonder why you did not give that stupid mother of yours a bit of your luck," Mrs Zhao said, just to agitate the already angry Yang Zi.
"Don't you dare mention my mum's name with that filthy mouth of yours, old lady," Yang Zi said fiercely, while glaring daggers at Mrs Zhao?
"Seeing how loquacious you have become, I guess you have forgotten the feeling you had when I pointed that gun at your head. If you have forgotten the pain of having your entire body itch without you being able to do anything, I can repeat the same thing. That way next time you won't dare to confront me only to sprout nonsense," Yang Zi said coldly. The chilliness of her voice made Mrs Zhao recall that scene two years ago. She could vividly recall how terrified she was back then. Each time she recalled that incident, it always felt like that horrible incident happened yesterday.
