Chapter 40: The Dance Party (2)
After getting the news that he was actually the heir of the duke, his eyes on him became even more intense.
Compared with Lu Jiming's perfunctory refusal, Gu Huai was much more direct.
In the face of all the people who came to talk, he always kept a cold face and did not say a word.
After touching the wall a few times, there are fewer people coming.
The sound of music and the lively crowd made the quiet Gu Huai feel uncomfortable, and his eyes searched the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.
The door of the exhibition hall opened, and Fang Mingzhu, who was dressed in a white evening dress, appeared in everyone's sight with Jiang Yuan, who was wearing a jet-black suit.
Fang Mingzhu's makeup is delicate and radiant. Although Jiang Yuan's face is a little cold, his upright posture and deep and handsome face are still eye-catching.
Many people cast their eyes in amazement and blessing at this wonderful campus couple.
Fang Mingzhu enjoyed such a gaze, and raised his neck flutteringly, with a proud and reserved smile on his face.
She also wanted to hold Jiang Yuan to talk and show off, but Jiang Yuan brushed her hand away.
He lowered his eyelids and stared at her impatiently and coldly, "Okay. ”
"You just said outside that you let go of the game and play your own game."
A hint of embarrassment flashed on Fang Mingzhu's face, indeed, in order to be able to get the envy of everyone, she proposed this "deal" to Jiang Yuan.
So for now, she could only watch as Gangwon hid in the bustling crowd and disappeared from her sight.
The gloom only appeared on her face for a moment, and in the face of such a grand occasion, she quickly returned to her usual arrogant appearance.
Many people who wanted to talk to her came to talk to her.
"Mingzhu, your makeup tonight is so beautiful, it looks better with your facial features."
“…… Your dress is also very unique, which big name is it? ”
“… I haven't blessed you with a successful relationship with Young Master Ehara, you really seem to be right. ”
“……”
Fang Mingzhu pouted with a faint smile that was appropriate, calmly accepting these flattering words, and responding a few words from time to time.
Even if Jiang Yuan is not special to her now, as long as she is still his nominal girlfriend, she will always be held in a high position.
Thinking of this, the depression and loss in Fang Mingzhu's heart because of Jiang Yuan's coldness were instantly swept away.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation and inhalation from the crowd, Fang Mingzhu looked at it casually, but froze.
Ning Yu's hair is held in a low bun, fixed with a few small and round pearl hairpins, and her ears are also wearing round and full pearl earrings, with her light and slow pace gently swaying, she is wearing a pure white silk dress, the skirt is fluffy and wide, the design of the waist perfectly shows her waist in a hand, and every inch of skin exposed outside is white and flawless under the illumination of the chandelier.
is the most decent daughter's appearance: noble and beautiful, elegant and moving.
Seeing that all the eyes that were originally focused on him were silently transferred to Ning Yi, the smile on Fang Mingzhu's face faded.
Not only that, when Ning Yi approached, her face was dark, it turned out that for some reason, Ning Yi was somewhat similar to her skirt today, but Ning Yi's skirt was wider.
Seeing that many people vaguely looked at her and Ning Yi, as if they were comparing something, Fang Mingzhu felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.
She glared at Ning Yu, who had stolen her limelight, turned around and walked in the opposite direction to her.
Ning Yi noticed her sudden change in expression, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
Yuan Mei walked up to her in amazement: "Oh my God! ”
She circled around Ning Yi, her expression exaggerated and cute: "It's so beautiful!" ”
"This face, this skin, this body ......"
Ning Yi's scalp was numb by her incomparably exaggerated words, and it took her a pat to recover from the shock: "It's too exaggerated, don't say it......"
Lu Jiming, who had a faint smile, walked over with a glass of champagne, and his eyes fell on her steadily.
He said, "No exaggeration, you are really beautiful tonight." ”
There was a little depth in his eyes, and he was ...... He couldn't hold it anymore.
Ning Yi showed a somewhat shy smile on his back: "Thank you." ”
"Why are you here now?"
A clear and beautiful voice came into Ning Yu's ears from far and near.
When she raised her eyes, she saw Gu Huai walking straight towards her.
The light from the chandelier cast a faint and soft halo on his fair cheeks, and his gaze at Ning Yu seemed to be much softer.
He originally wanted to talk to Ning Yi, but his eyes seemed to be glued to Ning Yi, and in the end he forgot what he was going to say.
It was Ning Yu who smiled lightly and opened his mouth first: "You're really here." ”
"I thought you wouldn't come."
Gu Huai moved his silently heated eyes away, and in just a few seconds just now, his face was already covered with an imperceptible thin powder.
But when she heard her second sentence, she was slightly stunned, and her tone was very relaxed and normal.
Don't...... Did you really misunderstand?
The thought poured at him like a basin of cold water, and even the temperature on his face receded.
Gu Huai stared at Ning Yi's extremely white face in the light, with a blank look in his eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to speak.
A strange female voice that came straight in from the side interrupted him-
"Y-Hello, do you need a dance partner?"
The girl has a beautiful face and fair skin, and at first glance she is the daughter of a noble family, although she is a little nervous, her eyes looking at Gu Huai are also full of admiration and love.
Gu Huai's whole heart fell into the boundless valley because of Ning Yi, where was he still in the mood to accept her invitation.
He looked down at her coldly and didn't say a word.
The girl met his frosty gaze, and the enthusiasm on her face gradually turned into uneasiness and helplessness.
Ning Yi saw his indifferent and abnormal performance in his eyes, and couldn't help but ridicule in his heart: it is said that he is polite and detached, noble and elegant, but in fact, is there any difference between him and the bad noble children like Lu Jiming and Jiang Yuan?
No, he is an extremely cold and arrogant person.
It's just that Lu Jiming and Jiang Yuan both like to tease and torture others by virtue of their superior status, while Gu Huai is completely indifferent, because these people are worthless creatures in his eyes, and they are not worth his eyes at all.
In the end, it was Ning Yi who came forward to relieve her.
She whispered to the pale-faced girl, "Why don't you go and rest first." ”
The girl had already lost the mind of the invitation, nodded carelessly, then glanced at Ning Yi gratefully, and left in a hurry.
Gu Huai moved his gaze to Ning Yi's face, saw her curl her lips slightly, and said with a smile: "My proposal is good, you see that you are so popular when you first came." ”
"You should participate in more activities like this, and you will have more friends around you."
The tone couldn't be more familiar and friendly, and it wasn't until this moment that Gu Huai believed that she was really just persuading him to be more sociable as an ordinary friend.
And not as he understood it.
After thinking about this fact, he froze in place, and his clear face became cold and stiff a little.
Looking back on his apprehension and faint excitement in the past few days, it is a great shame for him who suddenly woke up at this moment.
He slowly tightened his palms, and he was so unwilling that he had always been in a weak mood.
He raised his eyes to look at Ning Yu, who had already walked away, and the emotions in his eyes were quietly surging.
