Chapter 720: Chapter 0721: Knight Bruno [Second Update]

Knight Bruno extended a gentlemanly hand, looking toward Louise with the utmost politeness and anticipation for her consent. However, to Bruno’s surprise, Louise turned toward another direction, approaching the plainly dressed young man instead.

Just moments ago, Knight Bruno had learned that it was this young man who had cured Count Charley’s illness.

Count Charley’s gala dinner tonight was held partly to celebrate his recovery, and partly to welcome Ye Qiu’s arrival, as well as to introduce other distinguished guests to Ye Qiu.

Until recently, Knight Bruno had not been acquainted with Ye Qiu.

But unexpectedly, now Louise was heading toward Ye Qiu.

Zhou Wenting, Mr. Amanda, and the others seated beside Ye Qiu were all astounded. Could it be that Viscountess Louise was going to invite Ye Qiu for a courtly dance?

"Respected Dr. Ye, would you honor me with a dance?"

Louise asked expectantly as she looked toward Ye Qiu.

"Beautiful Miss Louise, I would be delighted to accept your invitation,"

Ye Qiu replied with a smile, extending his hand.

Zhou Wenting was flabbergasted!

Bruno was flabbergasted!

The other onlookers too were flabbergasted!

Could it be that Dr. Ye even knows how to perform a courtly dance?

Most people found it hard to believe, but Amanda and others thought that Ye Qiu was deeply knowledgeable, and it was possible that he might indeed be familiar with courtly dances.

Ye Qiu extended his hand, taking Louise’s hand in his own. It was the first time he actively took the hand of a Western beauty. He felt that Louise’s hand was a bit cool to the touch, unlike Zhou Wenting’s, which was warm, likely warmer than his own.

However, Louise’s hand was cooler.

Without dwelling on those thoughts, Ye Qiu led Louise outside, placing one hand on her waist and the other on her shoulder. As the music started, they quickly found the rhythm.

This type of court dance, which Ye Qiu had only a rudimentary understanding of back in Jinling, had become more familiar to him after absorbing a massive amount of soul consciousness here, incorporating it into his mind. He realized that the court dance was the precursor to the modern social dance, an important part of the royal court’s repertoire.

As Ye Qiu and Louise danced rhythmically, it was Viscountess Louise, who had been studying courtly dances from a young age, who nearly couldn’t keep up with Ye Qiu’s sense of rhythm.

She felt that Ye Qiu was much more familiar with it, realizing he had only been accommodating her up till now.

"Dr. Ye, when did you learn to dance the courtly dance?"

Louise inquired, almost clinging to Ye Qiu’s body. Aside from Ye Qiu’s somewhat mismatched attire, she saw him as a perfect gentleman in every other aspect.

"Since I was very young,"

Ye Qiu responded.

No wonder.

Now, Louise was not at all surprised that Ye Qiu spoke fluent French and knew the court dance. If he had learned it from a young age, then certainly Ye Qiu’s status was not simple.

Louise was not short; in fact, even with her wearing high heels, Ye Qiu seemed somewhat shorter in comparison.

But to Louise, this did not matter. To her, a height of 170 centimeters for an Easterner was quite normal, while heights of 180 or 190 centimeters were more suitable for playing basketball, and did not necessarily convey a sense of proportion.

It might have been because of the height difference between them, now that they were dancing such an intimate court dance, Louise’s recently uplifted chest pressed directly against Ye Qiu.

At first, Ye Qiu didn’t notice, but gradually, both became aware of it.

Especially when Louise saw Ye Qiu’s fiery gaze, she didn’t know why, but being looked at by this young man actually gave her a burning sensation.

"Dr. Ye, thank you for your design sketch, I really like it, and plan to have a tailor personally make that set of underwear and long skirt for me after tonight’s dinner."

"You’ve already thanked me once."

...

Ye Qiu and Louise were slowly dancing to the rhythm, quietly chatting, with smiles on their faces, which Knight Bruno, watching from the side, could see clearly.

Bruno felt an indescribable rage, but he did not let it show. He felt that Louise’s earlier rejection of his invitation, followed by her inviting Dr. Ye instead, was like a harsh slap in his face in front of others.

Moreover, he was a knight of this religion, and his father was a key member of the religious council. He couldn’t believe that after chasing Viscountess Louise for so long, she hadn’t given him any face at all.

Of course, not many people noticed Bruno.

When other young women came to invite Bruno to dance, he agreed but seemed distracted while dancing with the young woman, his eyes not looking at her, lost in his own thoughts.

By the end of the court dance, which lasted almost an hour and a half, Ye Qiu felt that he was carrying the scent of Louise with him.

Ye Qiu didn’t know whether it was the perfume Louise used or her natural body scent.

"Dr. Ye, thank you!"

Once they stopped, Ye Qiu was the first to let go of Louise’s hand, while she smiled back at him instead.

"It’s nothing."

Ye Qiu returned to his seat, and when a bartender brought over red wine, he took a glass and offered it to Louise, who had sat down next to him.

Zhou Wenting had been watching all along but felt a sourness in her heart; she was Ye Qiu’s companion for the evening, yet Viscountess Louise had taken him away from her.

Of course, she didn’t know how to dance the court dance, and she discovered that Ye Qiu was very good at it.

This indicated that Ye Qiu really knew everything, harboring many secrets, things she was unaware of; she had thought that Ye Qiu was only good at medical skills and was no different from ordinary people.

It wasn’t until now that Wenting realized that things were completely different from what she had imagined.

When the second dance, a waltz, started, many guests knew how to dance, so as the waltz began, many men and women returned to the manor’s central area, dancing elegantly to the music.

Wenting knew a bit of waltz, but from watching Ye Qiu dance the court dance earlier, she knew that Ye Qiu would definitely know the waltz and probably be very familiar with it.

She thought about asking Ye Qiu to dance with her, but then she realized she couldn’t even keep up with his rhythm. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

No matter how beautiful a woman or how great her abilities, jealousy is still an emotion they all can feel, and Wenting was no exception.

Louise looked at Ye Qiu with that expectant gaze again because she found that dancing with Ye Qiu was truly comfortable – a spiritual pleasure and emotional exchange. She began looking forward to having a particularly special story unfold with this mysterious young man from the East.

However, at this moment, Ye Qiu was turning to Wenting, saying, "Beautiful lady, may I have this dance with you?"
