Chapter 237 - The Engagement 08

"What the hell?" Han Yefang frowned with annoyance when Kong Xingtian bumped into his embrace out of no where.

Kong Xingtian raised her face and glared at him when she heard him cursing.

Han Yefang was about to push her as well and get off from this nonsensical dance.

But Kong Xingtian didn't let him push her even a bit.

She grabbed his fist and wrapped them around her waist.

She faked a smile and said while gritting her teeth, "Don't even think about it."

Seeing her threatening him like this Han Yefang scoffed.

"What's with the women of this party tonight? Everyone is just throwing themselves on me! Am I looking that handsome today?" He smirked like a devil.

Zhang Eliza had really got into his nerves today. That's why he is not even considering who is in front of him now and he is just bluntly speaking his mind.

Kong Xingtian was utterly speechless. The two of them had never had any brief conversation before. So she didn't consider him to be this rude when they don't even know each other well. He is the reason why she had to bump into him but how arrogant he is that he is now treating her like those shameless women.

She was already annoyed with his previous behavior in the swimming pool. And now he is getting into her nerves as well.

She raised a brow of hers and w.h.i.n.ed, "Look, Mr. Han, I don't know if you had woken up on the wrong side of your bed today or if it's your nature to talk like trash. But this situation that you and I have to dance just it entirely your fault. So if you think that you are gonna throw me away like you did just now, then don't even think about it."

"How is Ms. Kong falling into my arms out of nowhere is my fault?"

"Oh! really! You are gonna play like this? Then please do yourself a favor and turn you head around."

Han Yefang looked around him but since he had zero interest and mind in this party, he didn't notice any chance.

"What do you want me to see?" He asked indifferently.

"You don't see any chances? It's your fault that you pushed away Zhang Eliza and because of that everyone pushed their partners too and as a result I got pushed here. And, my dance with my partner got ruined because of you." She replied while holding great patience in her mind.

"Oh!" He utttered only the word oh!

"Oh?" Kong Xingtian frowned.

This man in front her didn't seem to feel anything.

When Han Yefang saw her glaring at him again, he squinted his eyes in annoyance and replied nonchalantly, "It's not my fault that these people are stupid. I didn't like my partner, so I pushed her away."

Kong Xingtian became dumbfounded.

"So you mean in the afternoon, it was also not your fault but mine?" She couldn't help blurt out.

"Afternoon?" Han Yefang looked at her as if he doesn't even remember what happened.

"Afternoon? At the swimming pool?" Kong Xingtian was having the most patience of her life. She doesn't even know why she is bothering to talk with this person.

On the other hand, Han Yefang took a second to recall what happened in the swimming pool and in reply he only made a "Ah!" sound.

"Seriously? Mr. Han were you not taught the word 'Sorry' in you school? I didn't expect anything from you. But it's human courtesy to ask for forgiveness when someone is at fault."

Hearing her words Han Yefang gave her a meaningful look. After gazing at her for a moment he replied straight forward, "Ms. Kong you seem to be the type of person who loves to hold grudges inside the heart with a smile painted on the face."

"What?" Xingtian was confused.

Seeing her confused face Han Yefang continued, "Both these situations might be embarrassing for a woman like you given the fact that a lot people were present in both situations. So anyone would like to pretend that nothing happened and move forward. But you, Ms. Kong held this embarrassment as a grudge in your heart and haunting me for an apology when I don't even care a bit. Just like how you are begging for attention when Mr. Si ying don't even bother to look at you."

Given by the fact that how jerk of a guy, Han Yefang was being, Kong Xingtian didn't expect him to say sorry right away but the moment he took the name of Si ying, she became flabbergasted.

She looked at him with her eyes wide opened.

Her lips started to shake.

She opened her mouth hesitantly and uttered, "What.... Non... No sense are you talking about?"

Along with the dance Han Yefang pushed her away then twirled her with his finger and then pulled her into his embrace.

He looked straight into her eyes and said in husky voice, "I wanted to turn a blind eye but now you are really being so pathetic that I can't even overlook anymore."

"Who gives you the right to call me pathetic?" She was not denying anymore.

"I am just giving you a piece of advice. Let it go. You didn't take your action when it was time. So, now no matter how much you try, it will all be wortless." He said in a comforting tone in his voice.

His eyes softened and exuded his inner pain.

Kong Xingtian was somewhat surprised. He didn't seem like the jerk he was being minutes ago. He seemed like a complete different person.

But Kong Xingtian was still firm in her adamant.

"I will still try. So that...." She paused a little and continued, "I won't have any regrets."

Hearing her words suddenly Han Yefang started to laugh as if he knows that she will eventually fail.

He twirled her again with his finger but this time he made her twirl more than before making her dizzy and fall straight into his arms.

His face was so close to hers that the tip of their nose touched each other.

He gave her a smile and said, "Good luck to you then."

He made her stand dumbfounded and left her alone as the other people surrounded her while dancing.

--------

Su and Si ying have been dancing for a while but Su didn't say a single word to him yet.

While Si ying was craving for a look of her eyes, Su was looking at else where.

"I am sorry, Su." He said apologetically.

Hearing him apologize Su strock him with a sharp look but yet she didn't say a word.

"Come on! I am apologizing to you. Please don't be made anymore." He again asked.

After giving him a meaningful look Su pressed her lips and said, "You must be sad that Director Kong had to leave you in the middle of the dance."

"What? What are you saying? Of course not..." Si ying was confused. He tried to explain.

"That didn't seem like it. You and her looked really happy together while dancing." Su started to throw tantrum on him.

She was being extremely jealous. She just wanted to rant her emotions to Si ying right now.

"What gibberish are you talking about, Su? Xingtian is like my little sister." After trying so hard to explain himself, Si ying suddenly realized that Su was actually being jealous.

He started to feel butterflies in his heart.

He leaned towards her and asked in husky voice, "Su, are you being jealous?"

Su became fl.u.s.tered. His face was so close to hers that her cheeks turned red.

She moved away her face from him and replied while blushing, "No! Who told you that? Why would I be jealous for you?"

"Oh! Was it only me then? Cause I was extremely jealous when I saw you dancing with another guy!" Si ying shamelessly blurted out his mind.

Hearing his shameless confession made Su blew up her mind.

She couldn't even look into his eyes.

Out of shyness she pushed him away and wanted to run away but Si ying didn't let her go.

He caught her hand twirled her with his hand and made her fall into his arms.

----------

After the change of partners another awkward pair was ditected. It was none other then Kai and Sophie.

They seemed like dancing like strangers but if one looks closely then you will notice neither of them were touching each other.

Kai's hands were around her waist but was not touching her. So did Sophie. Her hands were on his shoulder but a few millimeters above his shoulder.

Their backs were straightened and their eyes were lost they don't even know where.

An awkward silent was surrounding them.
