Just when Huo Siyu didnât know what to do, caught between a rock and a hard place, Jian Danâs voice suddenly appeared.
Following the sound, Jian Dan was seen wearing a pink princess dress, her hair styled in a simple bun. She looked just like an adorable elf.
With a confident smile, she slowly walked towards himâ¦
Of course, aside from Huo Siyu, everyone present also turned their gaze towards Jian Dan.
But Jian Dan did not show the slightest hint of timidity under peopleâs stares. She continued to smile confidently, as if those people didnât exist at all.
âSiyu, I just got caught in a huge traffic jam on my way here, thatâs why Iâm late. Are you mad at me?â Jian Dan deliberately used a coquettish tone.
That voice was so sweet it could almost make peopleâs bones melt.
Huo Siyu hadnât expected Jian Dan to talk to him like that.
But the next second, he instantly got into character, âHow could I be mad? I should have picked you up. Itâs all my fault!â Huo Siyu walked up to Jian Dan, lifting his hand to gently stroke her hair, his movements as tender as if he were touching a rare treasure.
Jian Dan looked up and met Huo Siyuâs eyes. In the moment their gazes locked, the corners of their mouths both curved into a smile.
To outsiders, this smile might look like lovers teasing each other, but in their eyes, it was a mutual acknowledgment: âNot bad acting, huh!â
âThe feeling is mutual!â
As they were still looking into each otherâs eyes, Jian Dan suddenly felt a chilling gaze fixed on her.
Turning her headâ¦
Tan Anqi was staring at her fiercely.
If it were any other day, Jian Dan would have stared back, but today she was Huo Siyuâs date, so naturallyâ¦
âSiyu, the way sheâs looking at me~ Iâm so scared!â Jian Dan nestled into Huo Siyuâs arms with a delicate expression.
âItâs okay, itâs okay! Little sister Anqi means no harm! Right, little sister Anqi?â Huo Siyu soothed Jian Danâs back with one hand while speaking softly.
Tan Anqi, after hearing Huo Siyuâs words, immediately dropped her malevolent gaze, replacing it with one that was tender and soft. âOf course, big brother Siyu. Sheâs your date. How could I harbor any ill will toward her?â Tan Anqi reclaimed her earlier elegance.
Hiding in Huo Siyuâs arms, Jian Dan couldnât help but admire that the best actor was actually herself!
âSee, I told you little sister Anqi means no harm!â Huo Siyu continued to comfort Jian Danâs back.
Only then did Jian Dan slowly come out from Huo Siyuâs embrace, âThen I must have been mistaken!â
âAlright, letâs go!â Huo Siyu gestured invitingly.
Jian Dan gracefully crouched down a little, placing her hand in Huo Siyuâs.
Huo Siyu led Jian Dan slowly toward the center of the dance floor.
Tan Anqi watched the two with venomous eyes.
And the expressions on the faces of Huo Siyuâs uncles were as ugly as if they had eaten something foul.
As the music started, Huo Siyu and Jian Dan began to dance slowlyâ¦
âI thought you wouldnât make it,â Huo Siyu said in a volume only the two of them could hear.
âI promised you, how could I not come?
However, todayâs traffic jam, I suspect it might have been orchestrated,â how could such a severe traffic jam happen without a major accident? Especially since Jian Dan had seen there was nothing of the sort on her way.
âHow did you manage to get here then?â
âOf course, itâs because I look so cute!â Jian Dan lifted her head and replied.
Huo Siyu was slightly taken aback after hearing her words~
âDo you really believe it? Haha~
I met a sister I knew, and she gave me a ride over!â
âOh!â
âSiyu, youâre too cute!â
âThank you, Jian. If you hadnât made it in time, I wouldnât know what to have done!â
âBetween friends, that word is unnecessary! Remember, youâre not allowed to say it again!â
Huo Siyu nodded with a smileâ¦
Because others could not hear their conversation, to them, the pair looked like they were shamelessly showing affection in public!
Tan Anqiâs hands were clenched tightly together, âThis woman has no shame, flirting with brother Siyu right in front of everyone!â
By now, Jian Dan had become the thorn in Tan Anqiâs side, someone she had to get rid of as quickly as possibleâ¦
