Chapter 242: Chapter 243: Your Dance Partner

Gu Wenjuan was taken aback and turned to look at Fang Tiantian.

Fang Tiantian turned her head with a serious expression, touched Gu Wenjuan’s hair, and said, "Really, even with your background, you were able to become what you are now. If you had been properly nurtured from a young age, you definitely wouldn’t be inferior to Princess Mo."

Gu Wenjuan felt her heart stir with sincere joy, "Really?"

Fang Tiantian sneered inwardly.

What a fool!

Yet her face still wore a gentle smile, "Of course, it’s true."

Gu Wenjuan looked again in Princess Mo’s direction, and the bitterness in her heart gradually lessened quite a lot.

Indeed.

With that kind of family background for nurturing, who couldn’t make something of themselves?

-

As soon as Mo Shu appeared, Yu Siqiao took notice.

Her outfit for today was truly... extraordinary.

The color was like that of an empress about to ascend to the throne.

Forceful yet eye-catching.

Yet, on her, it somehow became so captivating.

There was an indescribable nobility and grandeur in her every move, impossible to mimic or replicate.

Yu Siqiao’s eyes brimmed with a hint of amusement deep within, but seeing the amazed looks around him, he couldn’t help but feel a slight sinking feeling.

Ou Feng couldn’t help but exclaim, "Princess Mo is really too beautiful!"

Yu Siqiao gave him a cool, sidelong glance, and suddenly Ou Feng felt a chill hit him head-on. Instinctively shivering, he quickly corrected himself, "A person like her could only be subdued by Young Master Yu. Princess Mo and you are simply a match made in heaven!"

Yu Siqiao’s expression remained cold.

This woman, dressing up so gorgeously for no reason, was she eager to make him wear the green hat?

Heading towards her, he hadn’t taken two steps before suddenly all the lights went out.

Those who had been to this event before knew the drill, while many others were clueless about what was happening.

A few seconds later, a standard Oxford accent rang out, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Encounter Ball now officially begins—"

Then, a soothing piece of music began to play, and the lights gradually came back on, but rather than the bright illumination from before the lights went out, this time the lighting was dim, carrying a subtle air of ambiguity.

Mo Shu had just been dealing with an attempted flirtation, and taking advantage of the lights going out, she had moved to the side, trying to pretend to be separated. However, as soon as the lights came on, Mo Shu’s hand was taken hold of.

With the music emotive and the lighting suggestive, couples around them had already paired up and started to dance elegantly.

Mo Shu looked at the man holding her hand, uncertain, and asked in English, "Who are you?"

Under the nuanced lighting, the man didn’t answer, but slightly curved his lips and pulled her into his embrace.

A faint whiff of men’s cologne drifted to her nose, and she heard him say in a low voice, "Your partner."

Your dance partner.

His voice was low and slightly husky with a hint of a smile.

Mo Shu vaguely found it familiar, somewhat like... Yu Siqiao?

But how could Yu Siqiao possibly invite her to dance?

Besides, Yu Siqiao was so arrogant and vain, he never wore cologne.

Mo Shu didn’t have time to think further as she was already being led into the dance.

This type of ballroom dance, Mo Shu was more than familiar with and quickly fell in step with him.

One had to admit, the man moved with grace and poise; dancing with someone like him was quite comfortable.

Mo Shu also noticed that he seemed particularly careful not to trip her, frequently checking the placement of their dance steps.

Indeed, what was never lacking at such balls were gentlemen.

Not like a certain despicable man, who knew only how to be domineering and barbaric toward women.
