496: Chapter 496: Being a Dance Partner is Acceptable, But It Must Be a Strip Dance 496: Chapter 496: Being a Dance Partner is Acceptable, But It Must Be a Strip Dance Night, Zhonghai’s somewhat famous Dream Heaven KTV.

Lin Fei and others were in the extravagant private room.

The atmosphere was slightly oppressive.

Originally, due to having a few cocktails with Lin Fei, becoming slightly tipsy, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen had been clamoring to sing for Lin Fei and even encouraged Ning Qi to dance.

However, after Ning Qi, this beautiful unemployed flight attendant with a graceful figure, revealed her intention to challenge and retaliate against Lin Fei, the two women wisely chose to be temporarily silent.

After all, they were new to the workforce, and Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen could easily see that there was probably going to be another smokeless war between Ning Qi and Lin Fei.

Under such circumstances, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen naturally would not choose to get themselves involved.

Although, with the unemployed flight attendant Ning Qi on the verge of sparking a war with Lin Fei, the two of them had made too many actions pushing the situation along.

But compared to playing peacemaker, the slightly tipsy Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen undoubtedly preferred to sit back and watch the battle.

As the saying goes, nobody dislikes a good show.

In the hearts of Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, there was a touch of curiosity in seeing Lin Fei and Ning Qi dance together.

Of course, out of consideration for Lin Fei who had helped them a lot, they certainly would not voice this curiosity.

As for Meng Xue’er, this quiet and well-behaved girl, pure and lovely as the girl next door, she didn’t notice anything amiss between Ning Qi and Lin Fei.

On the contrary, in the heart of this innocent and pure girl Meng Xue’er, she was full of anticipation for the sight of Lin Fei and Ning Qi dancing together.

As for whether Lin Fei could dance at all or how he would dance with Ning Qi, the emotionally naive Meng Xue’er clearly hadn’t considered that.

Thus, after Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, fixed her challenging gaze on Lin Fei and verbally suggested she wanted him to dance with her,

Lin Fei inexplicably felt a pang of sorrow as if he were about to shoot himself in the foot.

Gu Xiaolei, Ye Wenwen, and even the innocent Meng Xue’er may not be aware of what kind of dance Ning Qi learned.

But Lin Fei, who had watched Ning Qi’s solo dance the first time they met, how could he not be clear that the talk of dancing together was nothing more than Ning Qi’s vengeful counterattack against him?

“How is it, Director Lin?

Do you feel I’m too lowly to dance with?

Or, is it that you simply can’t dance at all?!”

Seeing Lin Fei silent, Ning Qi, feeling her counterattack succeeded, was all set to gloat and was in no mood to allow Lin Fei to rebut, going on to say, “It shouldn’t be like this, after all, Director Lin, you are President Mu’s favorite.

With your status, Director Lin, you must attend various high-profile banquets; surely you must know some social dances, right?!”

Although she kept calling him Director Lin, even someone as innocent as Meng Xue’er could sense that Ning Qi, this unemployed flight attendant, did not have the slightest respect for Lin Fei’s status.

Even though she needed to use Lin Fei’s status to find a job.

But, relatively speaking, job-hunting was a topic for later.

Rarely catching a chance to retaliate or even to strike at Lin Fei, for Ning Qi who had suffered from Lin Fei’s “bullying,” if she could not properly strike a blow to Lin Fei to vent her anger, looking back later, she would undoubtedly deeply regret it.

“Director Lin, your silence suggests I’ve hit the nail on the head.

It’s such a shame, I was actually looking forward to taking this opportunity to have a good dance with you.

Alas, Director Lin, you can’t dance.

Thus, I can only apologize to Xiaolei and Wenwen.”

Despite mentioning shame and apology in her words, not a trace of regret or apology was evident on Ning Qi’s beautiful face or in her coyly smiling eyes.

More so, it was clear it was the thrill of a successful confrontation.

In just a few sentences, not only did she defuse the situation where Lin Fei had her cornered into performing a dance, but she also seized the opportunity to leave Lin Fei speechless.

Ning Qi, who seldom gets a chance to strut her stuff, couldn’t help but feel thrilled and smug.

In fact, if it weren’t for the presence of Meng Xue’er and the other two girls, as well as some concern about maintaining her own image, Ning Qi would not be laughing out loud at this moment.

It’s also inevitable that she’d be acting all high and mighty toward Lin Fei.

“Look at you, always so arrogant around the ladies.

Now you know who’s the boss!”

This was undoubtedly the truest reflection of Ning Qi’s feelings—at this moment, the unemployed flight attendant felt on top of the world!

“Who told you that I can’t dance?!”

Just as Ning Qi felt confident that she had gotten the better of Lin Fei and was pondering whether to have a drink with him to ‘celebrate,’ Lin Fei’s seemingly casual retort left her dumbfounded.

“You—you can dance?!”

It took a while after Lin Fei had spoken for Ning Qi to regain her composure and she almost subconsciously asked him, her voice filled with disbelief.

Clearly, it wasn’t just Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, who found Lin Fei’s statement hard to believe.

Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, who were set on watching the fight from the sidelines, both momentarily lost focus after hearing Lin Fei’s counterattack.

In fact, if it weren’t for the disbelief they read in each other’s eyes, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen would have thought they were hallucinating.

Relatively speaking, Meng Xue’er was the only one who managed to maintain clear thoughts after Lin Fei talked back to Ning Qi.

Meng Xue’er, with her straightforward mind and relatively limited EQ, held one firm belief in her heart: Brother Lin is the best!

To Meng Xue’er, “the best” was synonymous with being capable of anything.

“You really can dance?!”

Unlike Meng Xue’er, who was naively optimistic about Lin Fei, Ning Qi, somewhat aware of Lin Fei’s temperament, found it very difficult to equate Lin Fei with a dancer.

Even though Lin Fei had nodded in response to her initial question, Ning Qi still refused to believe him.

Sensing the hesitancy and a hint of disdain in the unemployed flight attendant’s words, Lin Fei stood up and walked over to Ning Qi.

With a meaningful smile on his lips, he said, “If you don’t believe me, we can always give it a try.”

“Try what?!”

“Dance.”

“You really can dance ballroom?!”

“I can dance ballroom, but that’s not what I want to dance today.

I want to dance something else with you.”

“What kind of dance?”

“Strip dance!”

After Lin Fei’s words, Ning Qi, who initially had a hint of curiosity in her lovely eyes, blushed crimson across her fair and delicate face after a few seconds of stunned silence…
