In the ballroom, Li Yufei looked at Yang Feilong with annoyance, "Can you really not dance, or are you pretending? Or are you retaliating because I didn't speak up for you earlier?"
"I really can't dance!" Yang Feilong said helplessly, "When would I have had time to learn this? And I'm not angry."
He genuinely didn't know how to dance, not deliberately.
"Hmph, you're not angry, but I am!" Li Yufei wasn't angry just because Yang Feilong stepped on her a few times.
"You're not angry because Xi Mengru spoke up for me just now, are you?" Yang Feilong said helplessly.
"Oh, you even know her name, and you call her so intimately?" Li Yufei said sarcastically.
"Do I call her intimately?" Yang Feilong was speechless. "She probably spoke for me because I looked isolated and pitiful. I also told her I came with my girlfriend, but you were the only young female boss, and you didn't speak up for me. She probably thought I snuck in!"
"So, you're blaming me?" Li Yufei huffed.
"How can I blame you for this?" Yang Feilong chuckled.
"Hmph, don't play coy with me. You still haven't explained how you got along so well in just a short while to have someone speak up for you?" Li Yufei snorted displeasedly.
"She's just kind-hearted. She doesn't have any intentions towards me, and neither do I towards her."
"Then you mean I'm being unreasonable?"
"I never said that."
"You did."
"I didn't."
"You did! And you still won't admit it!"
"Alright, alright, I did. Is that enough?"
"See, you admit I'm being unreasonable. Don't you like me anymore? If you don't like me, just tell me, and I won't bother you anymore. Would that be okay?"
"......"
"See, you're not even willing to appease me when I'm angry now!"
"Okay, when we get back tonight, you can do whatever you want with me. Don't be angry anymore," Yang Feilong said helplessly.
"Who wants to do whatever they want with you? Bah, shameless!" Li Yufei's face turned red. "Oh, you stepped on my foot again."
"Isn't this because you're an unqualified teacher? You don't teach with your heart," Yang Feilong complained.
"Hmph, then I'll teach you properly from now on, and you'll learn well," Li Yufei said irritably.
So, Li Yufei began to teach earnestly. This kind of thing wasn't difficult to begin with, and although Yang Feilong had never danced ballroom before, it wasn't that complex. After just one lesson, Yang Feilong was dancing quite well.
"How was the teacher's instruction?" Li Yufei asked proudly.
"The teacher's instruction was excellent. Tonight, I'll reward you properly, let you do whatever you want with me," Yang Feilong whispered in her ear.
"Tsk, you shameless thing! That's not me rewarding you; it should be me rewarding you!" Li Yufei snorted.
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever the teacher says is right!" Yang Feilong fawned.
As the music ended, Li Yufei didn't want to dance anymore. Mostly, everyone was staring at them intently, which made her a bit uncomfortable. Yang Feilong naturally accompanied her out of the dance floor and they went to sit on the sofa.
Just then, Leng Yi walked over again with a smile.
"Yufei, may I invite you for a dance?"
One had to admit, Leng Yi was quite persistent. Li Yufei had already chosen Yang Feilong to dance with, clearly indicating her preference, yet he was still not giving up. The main reason was that he believed he might have misjudged Li Yufei's personality earlier, which allowed the shameless Yang Feilong to succeed. So, he decided to imitate.
Imitation was not shameful. As long as he could win the beauty's heart, who would care about the process?
He would not fail, nor could he fail. Otherwise, if news of today's events spread, wouldn't he, Leng Yi, the young master Leng, become a joke? He absolutely would not allow such a blemish on his record!
And if he succeeded, everyone would praise his perseverance, ultimately leading to him winning the beauty's heart, while his opponent would become a clown, as history is always written by the victors.
"If you can't dance, go practice with the etiquette instructor first!" Li Yufei said.
Leng Yi: "......"
Pfft!
Yang Feilong almost burst out laughing. This guy was too amusing. Did you think my woman was eager to teach people? Young man, you're too naive. You still don't know where you went wrong!
Everyone else who saw this scene was stunned.
When Leng Yi said he couldn't dance earlier, many people had thought of Leng Yi's reasoning – that Li Yufei might have a personality that enjoyed teaching others. They all praised Leng Yi's quick wit because most of them hadn't thought of it. But now, they all wanted to laugh. What is this called? The best-laid plans of mice and men go awry?
"Actually, I was just joking with you. Ballroom dancing is a course taught since childhood. I'm very skilled at it, and I consider myself quite good," Leng Yi said, quickly recovering his composure despite his slightly pale expression. One had to admit, his reaction speed was very fast.
"If you want to dance, you can ask my fiancé if he agrees," Li Yufei sighed and said.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Leng Yi's expression changed drastically. "Fiancé?"
Not only did Leng Yi's face change, but everyone present was dumbfounded.
Is it true or not? Wasn't Li Yufei single? When did she get a fiancé?
"Who is your fiancé?" Leng Yi's voice trembled slightly.
"It's me!" Yang Feilong said, wrapping his arm around Li Yufei and looking at Leng Yi. "She is my fiancée."
At this moment, everyone in the room was stunned.
Is it true or not?
The two of them were a couple?
Then, what about before...
"Didn't you say he wasn't your boyfriend?" Leng Yi's face turned terrifyingly grim.
"He's indeed not my boyfriend, but my fiancé. Is there any contradiction in saying that?" Li Yufei said calmly. She mainly felt that this was too boring, and the anger she had felt towards Yang Feilong earlier had been dispelled by his playful banter during the dance. Therefore, she just wanted to end the tedious banquet quickly and go back to their world of two.
"You..." Leng Yi was so angry he was about to explode.
Boyfriend and fiancé, on the surface, there's no contradiction. A fiancé is simply a further stage from being a boyfriend.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
No wonder, no wonder Li Yufei had accepted Yang Feilong's almost impatient invitation earlier. It turned out they were a couple!
And looking at Leng Yi, they felt so pitiful. Was he being toyed with by a couple?
"You bitch, you dare to play me!" Leng Yi felt everyone's gaze was filled with mockery. In this situation, he was furious.
But as soon as his voice rang out.
*Slap!*
A loud slap echoed, and a tooth flew out.
Yang Feilong had slapped Leng Yi across the face, making Leng Yi's eyes sparkle with fire as he staggered back.
"Did you eat shit? Go back and brush your teeth," Yang Feilong's cold voice said at the same time.
