Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Mr. Sheng and Ye Shu in a Tight Embrace

As soon as these words were uttered, the venue fell silent, and everyone’s gaze turned toward Sheng Shaochen.

On the stage, Han Ruixin’s face instantaneously flushed with shyness. Clutching her gown nervously, her little hands fidgeted, and her bright, watery eyes were fixed on Sheng Shaochen, filled with longing anticipation.

Sheng Shaochen lifted his gaze and glanced at Han Ruixin.

Han Ruixin’s cheeks reddened further. Under the light, she resembled a rose about to be plucked, radiantly dewy.

Their eyes met gently like water, her soft gaze locking onto Sheng Shaochen’s deep blue eyes. With her little red lips lightly bitten, her expression was that of a young wife eagerly awaiting her lover’s response.

Seeing this, the crowd couldn’t help but start teasing them.

Amid everyone’s anticipation, Sheng Shaochen slowly began, "What do you think?"

Han Ruixin’s face instantly paled, looking incredulously at Sheng Shaochen.

In such a setting, for Brother Chen to toss this question to her...

If she were to affirmatively answer, it would seem as though she lacked modesty.

More importantly, if Brother Chen did not propose, wouldn’t she just be slapping her own face?

How would she recover from that embarrassment?

Feeling somewhat aggrieved, Han Ruixin’s eyes began to redden, but she forced a smile and said, "Actually, my leg has just recently healed, and happiness has come so suddenly. Brother Chen and I are still basking in bliss. So, regarding a proposal, Brother Chen certainly hasn’t prepared..."

No sooner had Han Ruixin finished speaking than the sound engineer timely played the opening dance music.

Mrs. Han smiled warmly and said, "I’m delighted everyone could take time out of their busy schedules to attend my daughter’s birthday banquet. I hope tonight will leave everyone with beautiful memories."

Meanwhile, she gave Han Ruixin a meaningful glance.

Han Ruixin hastily extended her hand to Sheng Shaochen, "Brother Chen, it’s time for the opening dance."

Sheng Shaochen frowned slightly, glancing at Han Ruixin’s leg.

Han Ruixin’s gaze dimmed, her heart filled with disappointment and annoyance.

But soon, she lifted her delicate little face, smiling at Sheng Shaochen, "Brother Chen, I’m sorry, I forgot my leg has just healed..."

As she spoke, Han Ruixin withdrew her hand, her gaze playfully turning to Ye Shu with a sweet smile, "Miss Ye, I’ve just had surgery and can’t dance, so I’ll have to trouble you to be my stand-in for the opening dance."

What she implied was that Ye Shu was nothing more than a stand-in, merely a dance replacement for her, Han Ruixin.

Ye Shu smiled without responding and laid a single hand on Sheng Shaochen’s shoulder.

Guided by Sheng Shaochen’s dance, they twirled to the center of the dance floor.

The spotlight shone brightly on them, following their graceful movements.

Sheng Shaochen’s large palm gripped her small hand tightly, his other arm resting on her slender waist.

He pulled her whole body into his embrace, clinging tightly to her as they danced.

Ye Shu, not the least bit prudish, rested her entire head onto Sheng Shaochen’s shoulder.

The two embraced each other so closely, it was as if they wanted to meld into one another’s bodies.

The crowd watched with complex expressions.

The flashbulbs virtually chased them throughout the entire performance.

On the stage, Han Ruixin’s eyes reddened until it seemed she might bleed the next second.

Mrs. Han hastily leaned forward to block Han Ruixin’s face, bending over and whispering in her ear in a hushed tone, "Don’t lose your composure, or else you’ll be playing right into Ye Shu’s hands."

Han Ruixin nodded, her head bowed as she took several deep breaths. When she looked up again, a sweet smile had spread across her face.

The dance came to an end.

Han Ruixin smiled at Ye Shu in gratitude, "Thank you, Miss Ye, for dancing so enthusiastically on my behalf. Later, Brother Chen and I will definitely treat you to a few extra drinks."
