Chapter 521
Xu Qilang had nothing to say and even felt confused for a moment. Before Xu Qilang could think clearly, Xie Xuanchen suddenly turned his head with an evil look in his eyes, “What does it have to do with you whether my Princess is good-looking or not?”
Xu Qilang choked as the nauseous feeling in his stomach increased. He cupped his hands as if admitting defeat, before standing up and saying, “Since Your Highness does not want to partake with the women, I shall take my leave first.”
After Xu Qilang finished speaking, he ran away. In fact, no one knew if he was avoiding the women that night since he never headed towards them. After the song ended, many of the backup dancers and accompanying women were pulled away one after another as several people invited the lead dancer. The lead dancer found that the man she yearned for the most was not among them as he was still seated on his high platform, turning a blind eye to her.
The lead dancer was unwilling to give in, so she ran off the stage with her skirt and knelt under Xie Xuanchen’s seat, “Your Highness King Qiyang, this humble girl has long admired the name of the Prince. Now that Your Highness has regained my hometown, this one is forever grateful and is willing to repay the prince with her life. I humbly ask to serve Your Highness and stay by your side for life.”
Xie Xuanchen finally remembered that there was someone kneeling on the ground. He looked at the lead dancer, who was blushing with shame, without a tinge of fluctuation in his eyes, “I have no intention of having you, you can find someone else.”
The refusal was so unrelenting that even other men, not to mention women, could not stand it, “Your Highness, it’s shameful for her if you are this direct...”
“What does it have to do with me that she’s embarrassed just like that?” Xie Xuanchen thought that the logic of these people was very strange, “She already knew that I had a Princess, so wasn’t being rejected something that she should have expected?”
Everyone was silent for a while. When the other dancing girls saw her, they came down one after another to lead the dancer away. Unexpectedly, the lead dancer took two steps backwards, but she was still unwilling to give in. She broke away from everyone before she turned around and asked, “Your Highness— why? Why won’t you accept me? Is it because I’m not pretty enough or am I not flexible enough?”
