Chapter 722 - 723: The Ritual of the Dark Lantern Dance

“Gu Qichen, what are you doing?”

Xia Yangyang was furious.

“Nothing much, just wanted to dance with you.”

Xia Yangyang had no choice, the dance floor was filled with couples.

If they argued here, it would only draw attention.

Reluctantly, Xia Yangyang began to waltz with Gu Qichen.

But her eyes were enough to kill him.

Xia Yangyang stared at Gu Qichen: “Gu Qichen, haven’t you had enough fun yet?”

“Don’t you think this is fate? Under the circumstances where neither of us knew about each other, we managed to meet in such a way, at such an occasion. I think this is the Heaven’s intention of bringing you to me.”

“Gu Qichen, have you gone mad?”

They had just had a big argument, yet now, Gu Qichen was uttering such nauseating words.

Xia Yangyang felt that Gu Qichen’s thoughts were difficult to grasp at this point.

Or perhaps he was planning to toy with her again.

Gu Qichen moved their dancing steps to Miss Anna and Li Zhiqian’s side, smiling: “Miss Anna seems to have taken a liking to your Brother Li, do you think he might abandon you for his own interests?”

Xia Yangyang also smiled: “If it were you in this situation, what would you do?”

“I wouldn’t.”

“Why so?”

Gu Qichen’s eyes were profound, and suddenly he lowered his head to kiss Xia Yangyang’s forehead: “Because I’m a blinded king, loving beauty more than power.”

Xia Yangyang sarcastically chuckled: “Should I consider it an honor?”

The two of them kept conversing while dancing.

Soon, the waltz ended.

Xia Yangyang tried to take this opportunity to leave.

But Gu Qichen still held onto Xia Yangyang’s hand tightly.

Despite her struggles, she couldn’t escape.

“Gu Qichen, I don’t want to dance anymore.” Xia Yangyang was annoyed.

The domineering look Xia Yangyang was so familiar with appeared on Gu Qichen’s face: “One more dance, the next one is a Dim Dance.”

Xia Yangyang was absolutely helpless.

Let alone that she had never danced a so-called Dim Dance before.

“I don’t know how to.” Xia Yangyang frowned.Update by n0vgo .c0

“It’s okay, I can teach you.”

Upon saying that, Gu Qichen once again pulled Xia Yangyang to the center of the dance floor.

The music began.

It was still a waltz.

But the lights on the ceiling went out in an instant.

So this was the Dim Dance?

It was just dancing in the dark one round?

Xia Yangyang chuckled: “Who invented this dance, what’s the difference between dancing under the lights and in the dark?”

Gu Qichen’s voice sounded amused: “Of course there’s a difference, you don’t believe me, watch.”

Xia Yangyang looked around, shocked.

Because men and women around weren’t dancing at all.@@novelbin@@

They were all kissing.

Like an unspoken agreement, everyone was embracing the waist, holding hands, immersed in sweet kisses.

“This…”

Xia Yangyang was almost speechless.

Gu Qichen spoke quietly: “The Dim Dance was invented by the French, known for their romance. Dancing in the dark liberates instincts more easily. Kissing is a ritual of the Dim Dance, shall we blend in?”

“No! Mmm…”

Before Xia Yangyang could reject, Gu Qichen overbearingly kissed her.

Xia Yangyang struggled.

But she couldn’t move at all.

Gu Qichen, with one hand around her waist and the other holding her hand.

He kept spinning in sync with the rhythm of the waltz.

Gu Qichen seized her breath with his domineering kiss, leaving her with no energy to struggle.
