Chapter 545: Refuse Her Request

Chapter 545

“Huo Ersi, may I be your companion?” Rong Dai asked.

“Together, we can do justice to this field,” Huo Ersi replied.

No sooner had Rong Dai’s words fallen than Mei Li’s voice rang out.

“Why her?”

Song Xuechun frowned in displeasure and grumbled under her breath.

Rong Dai said nothing, merely raising her eyes to look indifferently at Mei Li as she approached them.

Mei Li had typical Western features, especially her eyes, as blue as sapphires, very charming.

The undisguised arrogance on her face, the contemptuous glance she shot Rong Dai, mixed with a hint of viciousness, instantly destroyed the beauty imparted by her eyes.

“Is she poisonous? When did we ever offend her?”

Seeing such a look from her, Song Xuechun was immediately displeased.

Rong Dai’s eyes were deep as she glanced at Huo Ersi and said softly, “She likes Huo Ersi.”

“Then she really is sick! You're already married, why make trouble for you?”

Song Xuechun's thought processes were a bit slower, and she still didn't understand the implication of Rong Dai's words.

Rong Dai pressed her lips together and said nothing. Huo Ersi's behavior today had been very strange.

Hearing Mei Li's words, the noble ladies and madams present couldn't help but change color slightly, but no one dared to interject.

If it had been up to them, perhaps they would have “tactfully” descended the steps.

However, being coerced was not Rong Dai's style.

She looked at Mei Li with a confident, charming smile.

“Mr. Huo, are you afraid? I really might drag you down!”

“But I'll do my best not to embarrass you.”

Her voice was clear and ethereal, very pleasing to the ear.

Huo Ersi smiled back at her, a warm and gentlemanly smile. “Of course not, today is just for fun.”

Mei Li's complexion instantly turned gloomy, her gaze fixed malevolently on Rong Dai, her voice extremely cold and full of menace. “So, Mrs. Huo, you're rejecting my request?”

Rong Dai sneered inwardly. You look down on me arrogantly, should I really give you face?

She put on a surprised look. “Request? Just now...was Miss Mei Li making a request of me?”

Having said that, she didn't wait for Mei Li's ugly expression before looking slightly remorseful. “Then it must be differences in how we Easterners and Westerners express ourselves that led me to misunderstand Miss Mei Li's meaning.”

“I thought Miss Mei Li was kindly reminding me, but thank you. Still, I'd like to experience it myself.”

Her smiling face was so sincere that no trace of deliberate intent could be found.
