Chapter 640: Chapter 630: Melon-Eating Ball, A Touch of Dark Green

Wei Minmin finally waited for Jiang Lingxi to return and couldn’t help but glance behind her.

Once the person sat down, she eagerly asked, "Sister Xi, where’s that sister in the black gauze dress I just saw?"

Jiang Lingxi saw her keen interest in Wu Hua and couldn’t help but twitch her lips, "Why are you looking for her?"

"I want to meet her. She’s so beautiful, like a fairy. Sister Xi, are you friends with her? Can you introduce us?"

"No, I can’t. We are not friends; we’re enemies."

"Huh?"

The words sounded like a joke, but looking at Jiang Lingxi’s expression, Wei Minmin felt it was true.

"No, it can’t be?"

The word ’enemy’ seemed a bit too serious, didn’t it?

Especially in this era, what kind of deep-seated resentment would it take to become enemies?

"Forget her."

"Good!"

In the end, Wei Minmin obediently nodded. Seeing that Jiang Lingxi didn’t want to delve into the topic, she dared not ask further.

She glanced at the banquet hall again; there were quite a few people in black dresses, but none were the woman who seemed like a fairy.

It was as if that person really was a fairy, appearing and disappearing suddenly.

As the piano music stopped, everyone clapped in coordination.

The young woman stood up, lifted her skirt on the stage, and gave a bow to everyone before gracefully stepping down.

The second young master was standing at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for his girlfriend to come down, reaching out his hand to her.

Wei Minmin had just put her hands down from clapping and couldn’t help but click her tongue at the scene, turning her head with a face full of gossip, "Sister Xi, among the invited guests today, there’s also this second young master’s ex-girlfriend. I wonder if there will be a Chaotic Scene today. Sister Xi?"

Jiang Lingxi came back to her senses, putting the hand that had grabbed Wu Hua’s arm under the table, "I think you came here not for the banquet, but for the gossip."

"Banquets are boring; the more you attend, the less interesting they become. Rather than participating in a display of beauty, I prefer to enjoy eating melons."

At this point, another pianist took the stage, playing a soft melody. The bright and dazzling lights in the hall dimmed slightly, and the scents of perfume and wine became more pronounced, adding a hint of ambiguous mystery to the atmosphere.

Too bright lights leave no place to hide, making everyone adhere strictly to their boundaries.

But when the lights dim, other senses heighten beyond the eyes, allowing people to let go of their restraint and become uninhibited.

It’s just like places meant for venting emotions, like bars, where the lighting is never too bright.

Clinking glasses, soft conversations, and visibly everyone was standing closer to one another.

Soon, many people who had clicked with each other naturally held hands and danced to the music, which Wei Minmin found quite thrilling.

"This is exactly the style of the second young master, known for his romantic flair. Now I’ve truly witnessed it. What was supposed to be a welcome dinner has directly turned into a dance party."

She remembered the last time she attended a banquet hosted by the eldest son of the Aibosi family; it was so serious and solemn. Everyone maintained perfect posture from start to finish, giving the welcome dinner the feel of a formal family meal.

Oh, but the dinner couldn’t compare to the last one.

The food wasn’t great.

Whether it was fruits or small desserts, the former wasn’t filling, and the latter became overwhelming if one ate too much.

Though there were plenty of drinks, in such a setting, who dared to lose their composure by drinking too much?

However, it seemed everyone wasn’t focused on the food and drink.

"Oh my, no way!"

Jiang Lingxi was already accustomed to Wei Minmin dragging her to enjoy gossip or causing a stir every now and then.

Juggling two thoughts at once, she replied, "What did you see this time?"

"That second young master left his current girlfriend behind and went to invite his ex-girlfriend to dance. The key is that his current girlfriend saw and doesn’t seem upset at all."

Jiang Lingxi raised her eyes, following Wei Minmin’s line of sight, "It’s all just playacting."

Wei Minmin thought for a moment and nodded, "True, this second young master doesn’t seem to have any intense love stories with his girlfriends; they usually part ways quite amicably."

Just that the small Chaotic Scene she anticipated vanished, leaving her with a bit of regret.

Her regret ended with a hand extended toward her.

"This beautiful lady, may I invite you for a dance?"

Wei Minmin instinctively turned to look.

She met the eyes of a blonde-haired, blue-eyed young man winking at her, a handsome guy!

A handsome guy with a very clean vibe!

"Sister Xi..."

Jiang Lingxi immediately noticed the little sparkles in the girl’s eyes, waved, and said, "Go have fun."

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed young man politely took the hand Wei Minmin offered and led her towards the dance floor, but after a few steps, he couldn’t resist looking back at the serene figure sitting in place.

He originally came over intending to ask this one to dance.

But before he could speak, she had already looked up at him. Just one calm glance from her made him instinctively change his direction.

Looking over now, that person sat alone, yet gave off no sense of loneliness, surrounded by a sense of nobility and mystery, provoking curiosity while inducing hesitation.

The dance ended.

Wei Minmin withdrew her hand from the young man’s shoulder, about to leave.

"Minmin, can you tell me your friend’s name?"

Wei Minmin was stunned for a couple of seconds before realizing who her temporary dance partner was asking about, couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows and then burst out laughing, "Her name is Jiang Lingxi, but you’re out of luck; she already likes someone else."

"Alright, both your names are nice."

Wei Minmin clinked glasses with him and turned back to her Sister Xi without a trace of regret.

"Why not stay a bit longer?"

"A little dance is enough to satisfy; it’s more comfortable sitting, eating melons, and watching the show, and it’s quieter."

But wanting some peace wasn’t easy.

Though their seating was secluded and discreet, with everyone else gliding into the dance floor, their steady presence seated there made them stand out.

Soon, several others came over to invite them to dance.

Jiang Lingxi didn’t plan to dance or knew how to, and after getting her fill of fun, Wei Minmin didn’t feel like moving either, rejecting each invitation one by one.

"Is there really someone I can’t invite?"

Having just danced with his ex-girlfriend, the second young master of the Aibosi family turned when he heard the slightly disgruntled voice of his friend and curiously asked, "Who wouldn’t give you face?"

Being friends with him naturally meant they were peers in age and status from wealthy families.

Plus, his friend had looks not inferior to the many male celebrities invited to the event, though not quite as handsome as him.

But no one had refused till now.

"Look, over there, sitting in the dark green dress, beautiful, right?"

Kevina followed his friend’s gesture and immediately squinted.

He vaguely remembered that figure; when the guests were still mingling on the lawn outside the banquet hall, he hadn’t shown up yet, actually observing from the second floor.

Every face and action was captured in his view.

The most impressive among them was Mo Yiran sitting there in her dark green.

In contrast, the person in matching dark green across looked like a clown.

Even more unexpectedly, she noticed his gaze.

The moment she looked up at him, he even felt like his heartbeat missed a beat.

Subconsciously, he opened his phone camera and pressed the shutter, but unfortunately, he only captured a turning back.

"It’s her!"

His current and ex-girlfriend had both just been considerately comforted, and finally freed, he planned to look for that particular dark green.

"Thanks, buddy!"

Friend: "..."

Are you being polite?
