Chapter 216: The Ball Begins

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the sun set, the once-blue sea turned black as far as the eye could see. The cruise ship floating on the sea appeared like a haven from the end of the world, containing mankind’s last joy and desire.

The room was heated, and celebrities in various evening gowns gathered in groups of twos and threes with wine glasses.

The violin and piano played together, and some people embraced and flirtatiously danced on the dance floor.

Luo Ying moved through the crowd while wearing a mask.

She was dressed simply in a black dress with the simplest of cuts and no other accessories. Her hair hung loosely on her shoulders, but it couldn’t hide her stunning aura.

People kept approaching her and inviting her to dance.

Luo Ying declined.

Her gaze was drawn to the man sitting in the corner.

The man was dressed in a suit with a gold-rimmed mask. His sleeves were casually rolled up to his wrists, and he appeared out of place in this setting.

This feeling, however, only added to his mystery. Many socialites approached him, hoping to catch his attention.

His gaze was fixed on Luo Ying.

Even if she covered half of her face, Lu Zhao would be able to recognize Luo Ying.

He had heard the sea breeze and the horn. She had boarded the ship as expected.

Luo Ying turned around and prepared to leave when she noticed Lu Zhao’s gaze.

She had only taken two steps when Lu Zhao came from the other side and stood in front of her.

“Beautiful lady, may I have a dance with you?” Lu Zhao spoke suavely.

Luo Ying raised his head and met Lu Zhao’s smiling gaze.

At a time like this, this man could still smile.

Her lips were pursed. “I’m not going to dance. I’ve got more important things to do.”

Lu Zhao did not give her the opportunity to respond. He extended his arm and wrapped it around her waist. He grabbed her hand and dragged her onto the dance floor at the same time.

Luo Ying lacked Lu Zhao’s strength. She was led in circles around the dance floor.

Luo Ying was filled with a sense of security despite the fact that she knew that both of them were now in Lu Wen’s trap.

Perhaps it was because Lu Zhao was nearby.

Luo Ying was taken aback when she realized Lu Zhao could provide her with such a deep conviction of security.

Lu Zhao reached out and pinched the soft flesh on her waist just as she was lost in thought.

“Why are you dreaming? What’s on your mind? Do you have any thoughts about your husband?” Lu Zhao inquired solemnly.

Luo Ying almost burst out laughing. What kind of game was this?

She coughed and pretended to be serious. ” My husband forbids me from playing outside. I slipped out to have some fun. Why don’t you play with me today?”

She rubbed Lu Zhao’s palm with her fingers as she spoke.

Lu Zhao noticed the woman’s little movements and curled his lips into a faint smile.

He hadn’t expected this little girl to be so engrossed in her role.

“Sure thing, Madam. However, you must decide on the superior man, me or your husband.” Lu Zhao whispered something into Luo Ying’s ear.

Luo Ying’s face flushed. She remained silent for some time and said nothing.

Lu Zhao felt Luo Ying’s rebuke and reached out to squeeze her even more tightly. “Get off at the next stop. It’s going to get dangerous. I will deal with it.”

“I really don’t want to.” Luo Ying straight up dismissed him.

“Listen to me, please,” Lu Zhao begged her.

“Lu Wen is never going to let us off the hook. He deliberately set up this trap for you,” Luo Ying explained. “I’m stuck in this as much as you.”

Luo Yin was not about to abandon Su Su..

Su Su would not have been hunted down and met Lu Wen if she had found more people to keep an eye on her at the time.

During this time, Lu Wen must have tortured Su Su severely. She felt bad for Su su.

“Listen to me. Get away from here, as far as you can. I’ll have Xiao Ting protect you,” said Lu Zhao.

Luo Ying was about to respond when a loud thud rang out from the hall.

Luo Ying turned to face the voice and saw a girl in a pink dress lying on the ground.

Su Su’s face was revealed when the loose mask fell.

“Su Su!” Sirius was already there. He cradled the girl in his arms and shook her violently. ” Su Su, what’s wrong?”

Su Su must have collapsed unexpectedly. The guests in the vicinity were nprnlpxpd

Sirius picked Su Su up and rushed out before anyone could react..
