Chapter 455: Chapter 456 Where are you?

"It’s just a celebration party, who said you must have a male partner?" Huo Yishan spoke nonchalantly.

"But there’s an activity later, only those with a male partner can participate."

"What activity?" A single sentence seemed to pique Huo Yishan’s curiosity.

President Jiang smiled as he glanced toward the back of the banquet hall, "Look, the winner gets that queen’s crown."

Huo Yishan followed his gaze and, indeed, saw a valuable crown placed at the center of the podium not far away.

"You definitely need a male partner?"

"Otherwise, how would you dance?"

Uh...

So it was a dance.

A crown was nothing special, but Huo Yishan was always thrilled by new experiences.

"What’s wrong?"

Gu Qiangwei noticed that ever since she heard about the activity, she had been frowning.

Huo Yishan grimaced, looking listless, "The dance is starting in half an hour..."

"So?"

Huo Yishan immediately turned her head, "I don’t have a male partner, so I can’t participate in that event."

"You, caring about that crown?"

"Why wouldn’t I care? I’ve never had a crown before."

"Why not just have your uncle buy you one?"

"No, I want to compete for things I like myself!"

As they talked, a gentlemanly man suddenly approached them.

"Good evening."

The sisters turned to look at the man who had approached them unexpectedly.

"What do you want?" Huo Yishan was the one to speak.

"May I ask if you ladies have partners?"

Huo Yishan’s pupils shifted, they hadn’t brought male partners, but they could find one at the event.

They were so beautiful, were they really worried about not finding partners?

"No!" Huo Yishan quickly answered.

The man immediately said, "Then, my friend and I, may we ask you two for a dance?"

"Dancing is fine, but can you accompany me for the upcoming event?"

"You mean the event competing for the crown?"

"Exactly!"

"I can."

"Fantastic!" Huo Yishan was thrilled, turning to tell Gu Qiangwei something, "Qiangwei—"

"You go ahead, I’ll sit this one out."

"Why?" Her expression fell.

Gu Qiangwei responded with three words, "Not interested."

She wasn’t interested in the event or in dancing with a stranger.

"Alright!" Huo Yishan glanced at her, her eyes sly as if she saw right through Gu Qiangwei, "Without Qin Sijue here, you won’t dance with other men?"

Gu Qiangwei looked at her but did not respond.

"Alright, you go dance."

"Just be careful on your own, don’t wander around everywhere!" Her tone was like she was taking care of a little sister.

"I know, Miss Huo!"

Huo Yishan pouted at her, then followed the man into the dance floor.

At that moment, Gu Qiangwei’s phone rang.

It was a call from Qin Sijue.

Oh no!

She turned her head and looked out the window, seeing that the sky had completely darkened.

Qin Sijue should have been home by now!

Because of the loud music in the banquet hall, she walked toward the restroom to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?" Qin Sijue frowned slightly on the phone.

"I’m here with Yishan at a celebration party."

"Why didn’t you tell me?"

"I did give you a call this afternoon, but it seemed you were busy and didn’t answer."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sijue pulled away from his phone, glanced at the missed call log, and indeed, there was her missed call.

"Where are you?" He sat in front of a dinner table, staring at the dishes, yet he had no appetite.
