Chapter 271: Goodbye at the Prom
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Yue and He Liannan walked into a private custom clothing store side by side.
"Mr. He, good afternoon; Good afternoon, Miss Ling. "I was waiting at the door for a long time, and the store manager in a formal dress immediately greeted me.
Ling Yue smiled lightly, and He Liannan turned slightly sideways and explained to her: "Most of the clothes in this store are personally made by the top dress designer Locus, Miss Ling should like it." β
"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look. With that, Ling Yue walked to the display case with cheerful steps.
Different from ordinary stores, this store can be seen at a glance, and each shelf is presented to customers with the best "attitude". Most of them are dresses, and just by looking at the style, you can see that the quality is high and the price is expensive.
Ling Yue looked around, occasionally stopping in front of a dress that fit her eyes well, carefully studying the details and materials, and when she felt tempted, she pointed her finger and motioned to the manager behind her to take one.
Of course, she didn't want them all, and in the end, there were only three sets in total.
Ling Yue slowly tried on all the clothes, and finally picked one of the black skirts. He Liannan said that as a gift she promised to be a dance partner, he would pay for it.
When the two appeared at the dance party holding hands, all the eyes of the people present were immediately sucked in.
He Liannan was dressed in a white suit, with a gentle smile on his face as always, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, and he nodded and greeted almost everyone he knew.
The woman next to him does not appear much, but she is also quite famous because of the scandal recently, after all, it is rumored that she is the fiancΓ©e of He Liannan, one of the most powerful young CEOs in New York.
I saw her generously hooking He Liannan's arm, her delicate body wrapped in a black dress, and the spring breeze was beautiful. On the right side, the fragrant shoulders are exposed, and a black ribbon on the left side is wrapped around the shoulders and extended to the waist, and a bow is tied at the lower end of the half-naked beautiful back.
The cheongsam is shaped as an inner lining, and the skirt is open all the way to the thigh. On the outside of the cheongsam, a circle of black tulle began at the waist, reaching to the ankles, making the slender straight legs looming.
With every step, the gauze skirt rose a slight amplitude with the wind, and each stroke entered the hearts of the men present.
The black and white match, as if the rumors are more confirmed.
Because there were not many people she knew, Ling Yue held her temperament, smiled all the time, and stood beside He Liannan elegantly to be a qualified dance partner.
Glamorous, generous, and humorous, this is the impression she gave people tonight.
Before the official start of the second half of the dance, the eyes of the audience once again moved to the entrance. Ling Yue was standing in the middle of the dance arena at this moment, greeting the person she had just met, and when she heard the movement, she also looked over.
The whispers around them gradually spread into the eardrums, mostly the voices of girls.
"Look, Mr. Qin is here."
"He rarely attends proms, eh, he doesn't seem to have a dance partner, so I have a chance to dance with him!"
"The white shirt and black trousers that remain unchanged all year round, Mr. Qin is growing in my aesthetics. And that scar, it's really mysterious and handsome! β
"I haven't seen him bring that Miss Su out since I got married, I'm afraid that the two are really divorced."
"I've heard about it too, so don't we all have a chance!"
ββ¦β¦β
In such a noisy environment, every word fell into Ling Yue's heart, she only glanced at it and then turned her gaze.
She thought that she could not intersect with him by pretending to be uninterested, but who knew that He Liannan actually took her hand and put it on her arm again, bent sideways and said softly next to her: "Mr. Qin is here, let's go say hello." β
"Okay." Ling Yue raised her eyes and responded with a smile.
Just a few steps away, they quickly stood in front of Qin Yitian.
He Liannan raised his glass first and spoke: "Mr. Qin, it's rare to see you participate in this kind of dance, I toast you." β
Qin Yitian smiled faintly, his eyes were clear but cold, he took the wine glass from Lu Feng's hand, gently touched the wall of He Liannan's cup, and responded steadily: "Mr. He is polite." β
"This is Miss Ling Yueling, you've seen it before."
Ling Yue didn't expect He Liannan to introduce herself, and she was slightly stunned for a second before saying with a smile in her eyes, "Good evening, Mr. Qin." β
Unexpectedly, Qin Yitian didn't pay much attention to her greeting, only glanced at her, then looked at He Liannan again, bowed his head slightly, and then passed by them.
After a while, the music became louder, and most of the people put down their glasses and led their dance partners to the center of the dance hall.
The woman's dress flutters and her posture is elegant; The man is in a suit and leather shoes, and he is skillful in dancing.
He Liannan also stretched out his hand and bent over, making an "invitation to dance" to Ling Yue. When Ling Yue's palm touched the back of his hand, He Liannan pulled her into a state.
The beautiful and clear piano music, with the waltz, the dance steps of the two are surprisingly harmonious.
"I didn't expect Miss Ling to be as rumored, dancing is first-class."
"Mr. He, is it really okay for you to investigate me so blatantly?"
"Then you have to be interested in Miss Ling, so you are willing to bother to understand, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Ling Yue smiled and lowered her head slightly to avoid He Liannan's somewhat ambiguous eyes.
As soon as the song fell, the two retreated to the sidelines, He Liannan beckoned Lin Yuan to come over, and after saying a few words in his ear, he turned his head and apologized to Ling Yue: "I have something to leave, there is a bid at the end of the ball, if I can't come back, can I ask Miss Ling to help me call a price?" β
"He always wants to leave me here alone?"
Seeing that Ling Yue was a little blamed, He Liannan raised his glass, and then drank it all to apologize, "It's really something, I will personally send Miss Ling back to the hotel later." β
"Okay, since Mr. He has something to do, then I'll help with this, but Mr. He remembers that he will also owe me a favor in the future."
"Definitely." As he spoke, He Liannan pointed at Lin Yuan, "My assistant stays here, Miss Ling can tell him at any time if she needs anything." β
After getting Ling Yue's consent, He Liannan left the venue.
Bored, Su Xiaoxiao put down her wine glass and dangled slowly on the sidelines, she actually wanted to find a corner to be in a daze, but because Lin Yuan was there, it was not good to be too silent, after all, Ling Yue was a playful master.
His gaze wandered casually, and finally froze on the innermost sofa.
The familiar figure was hunched over looking at the phone, his side face was calm and quiet, and his dark and thick eyebrows were slightly folded, as if he had encountered some thorny problem.
The cold aura was incompatible with everything around him.
Su Xiaoxiao discovered for the first time: it turned out that the appearance of them attending the banquet alone was so similar.
She lowered her eyes, laughed self-deprecatingly, and looked away.
When He Liannan was away, several people came over to invite Ling Yue to dance, and she picked it up, and finally only agreed twice.
Finally came to the final bidding session, Ling Yue thought it was just a simple thing, but she didn't expect it to be two landscape paintings with their own merits, from the same famous teacher. She asked Lin Yuan with some uncertainty: "Are these two pictures taken together?" Mr. He? β
"Yes." Lin Yuan stood behind Ling Yue and replied in a low voice, "Mr. He said, Miss Ling should do her best. β
"Did he say the highest price?"
"Mr. He said that Miss Sui Ling likes it."
"Then I see."
As soon as the voice fell, the bidding began, and the host showed the starting price: 1 million, and stipulated that the minimum increase was 50,000, and on this basis, the bid was freely shouted, and the highest price was won.
As a result, the interested people around Ling Yue immediately began to shout out the price in their minds.
One million five thousand, one million one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand ......
At the beginning, everyone was very conservative, and 55,000 land was added. Until 1.4 million, someone in front of him held up a sign, and then the loud voice of the road wind sounded: Three million.
