From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 92 - : Inviting You to Dance the First Dance
Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Inviting You to Dance the First Dance
Who is Lu Yanchuan? Some say he’s ruthless and cold, others say he’s heartless and unfeeling, and some say he’s no good…
But absolutely no one would say Lu Yanchuan is gentle!
If you tell someone who has ever crossed paths with Lu Yanchuan such a thing, they’d certainly think you’ve lost your mind!
Lu Yanchuan, gentle?
Only if it rains red from the sky, the sun rises from the west, and the earth orbits the moon…
In short, no matter what, no one would believe that Lu Yanchuan, such an abnormal person, could ever exhibit tenderness.
...
But! Right before everyone’s eyes, just three seconds ago, right at the entrance of Baishan Hotel, Lu Yanchuan actually spoke in such a tender tone to the little lady beside him, uttering such a cheesy line!
Those unfamiliar with Lu Yanchuan felt it cheesy, while those who know him were terrified.
Could it be that the end of the world was coming, that Lu Yanchuan…
Not only did the onlookers harbor this thought, but so did the other protagonist of this scene, who was equally stunned.
Qiao Yi’s entire being felt unwell, her smile stiff on her face, as she turned her head in shock to look at Lu Yanchuan.
She only wanted Lu Yanchuan to simply play along with her, and the best outcome she expected was merely to get his acknowledgement or a casual response, which would have sufficed.
But she had not anticipated that Lu Yanchuan would go this far.
Li Xuesi, obviously, was not familiar with Lu Yanchuan, so upon witnessing the slightly odd behavior of the two people in front of her, she immediately scoffed with sarcasm.
“Are you saying you just picked up some actor from god knows where? Wow, so affectionate!”
Li Xuesi swept her gaze over Lu Yanchuan; despite his distinguished air, she certainly didn’t believe he was anything remarkable.
Jiang Zhuocheng, at her side, whether he remembered something or not, quietly tugged at Li Xuesi’s sleeve.
“What? You feel sorry? You think I shouldn’t speak about her like this?”
Li Xuesi shook off Jiang Zhuocheng’s hand angrily and hissed at him through clenched teeth.
“I didn’t…”
It made Jiang Zhuocheng rather uncomfortable to be scolded like this in public, but since the Jiang Family simply couldn’t compare to the Leng Family, he didn’t dare show even a hint of dissatisfaction to Li Xuesi.
Li Xuesi seemed used to berating Jiang Zhuocheng with beatings and scoldings, utterly disregarding the surrounding gossip, focused only on venting her own fury.
“Don’t I know what’s going through your head! Seeing your former goddess, you’re happy, aren’t you! Now that she is another’s wife, what delusions are you still harboring!”
Qiao Yi had already pulled Lu Yanchuan aside to watch the drama unfold, knowing all too well that Li Xuesi wasn’t clever. Now, it seemed that was indeed the case.
With so many people watching, Li Xuesi shouting like that, it didn’t take long for a wave of discussion to ensue.
“Qiao Yi! You…”
“Have you had enough of your tantrum!”
Suddenly, a voice thundered from the crowd, a man emerged to stop her from continuing.
“Third Young Master, Xuesi is still young, please don’t take her to heart!”
The man turned around, his face ingratiating towards Lu Yanchuan, and Qiao Yi then clearly saw that this man was none other than Li Xuesi’s father, the Leng Family Head, Li Yan.
Although there was competition between the Leng and Qiao Families, the power of the Leng Family was nowhere near as profound as that of the Qiao Family; despite Li Xuesi daring to confront Qiao Yi, Li Yan would not dare to adopt such an attitude towards Qiao Benqing.

The Leng Family couldn’t even compare to the Qiao Family, let alone the Lu Family.
If, because of Li Xuesi’s thoughtless words, she angered Lu Yanchuan, he could easily make it so the Leng Family faced ruin!
Lu Yanchuan didn’t even spare Li Yan a glance. If it wasn’t because Qiao Yi wanted him to play along, the Leng Family’s people wouldn’t even qualify to curry favor with him, let alone be brazen in his presence.
If he were insulted or provoked by someone of equal strength, maybe Lu Yanchuan would find it interesting to play along.
But do you care if an ant beneath your feet speaks rudely to you!
“Didn’t you say you wanted to meet your friend?”
Qiao Yi was thoroughly enjoying the drama and only snapped back to reality upon hearing Lu Yanchuan’s voice.
“That’s right, we still need to go see Yun Luoluo!”
Qiao Yi gave a dry laugh, turned back, and her haughty, disdainful demeanor was restored.
“Today is Luoluo’s birthday, I won’t talk too much with you. I’ll invite you out to eat another day, you wouldn’t dare not to come, would you?”
Qiao Yi didn’t ignore the three people over there, but compared to her blatant provocation, it was better to simply ignore them like Lu Yanchuan did!
“I would be scared of you? I…”
“Shut your mouth!”
Li Yan stopped Li Xuesi once again, forbidding her from continuing to oppose Qiao Yi.
Back in school, when Li Xuesi used to target Qiao Yi everywhere, it could be said to be child’s play, nothing serious.
But now that they were adults, if Li Xuesi continued to be so tactless and provoke further, that couldn’t just be brushed off as a joke!
Qiao Yi was now the wife of the Lu Family Head, and if she were truly angered, the Leng Family might suffer retaliation from both the Qiao Family and the Lu Family!
Li Xuesi might not have thought of such consequences, but Li Yan did, and this was an outcome he could least afford to face.
Li Xuesi’s face was livid with rage, but she didn’t dare go against Li Yan’s wishes and could only pinch Jiang Zhuocheng’s arm fiercely.
“Did you see that! Li Xuesi’s face looks like she swallowed a fly! Let’s see how she can be arrogant after this!”
Feng Siyu’s dislike of Li Xuesi didn’t come from nowhere.
Before Li Xuesi tried to hook up with Jiang Zhuocheng, she had attempted to entrap Gu Ting, and only after failing did she turn to Jiang Zhuocheng.
Qiao Yi didn’t harbor as much dislike for Li Xuesi, but it was always annoying to have such a person eyeing you, which was irritating.
“As long as she doesn’t provoke me, I can’t be bothered to stoop to her level.”
The two young ladies chattered on ahead, while Lu Yanchuan and Gu Ting were like disposable tools—cast aside without mercy after their use had expired.
Yun Luoluo was in the upstairs lounge, and Qiao Yi and Feng Siyu went straight up to look for her.
Upon seeing Qiao Yi and her partner, Yun Luoluo appeared very happy, quickly pulling them to sit down and chat.
“I thought you wouldn’t come!”
“It’s your birthday, of course, I would come.”
As the three chatted, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open again, and a figure entered, someone Qiao Yi found quite familiar.
“Miss Yun, may I have the honor of inviting you for the first dance later?”
Qiao Yi glanced at Ning Yuze trying to act graceful at the doorway, then at Yun Luoluo beside her with a puzzled face, and she began to smile while raising an eyebrow.
Ning Yuze was discharged from the hospital?
It seems she was too lenient last time. How long has it been, and this guy is out causing trouble again?
Unaware of Qiao Yi’s displeased expression, Yun Luoluo looked curiously out the door, her gaze returning to Ning Yuze with a bit of hesitation as she stood up.
“Hello… may I know who you are…?”
