My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away!-Chapter 512: Revised - 522 The Mind of a Woman, A Needle in the Sea Floor
Shi Yi was speechless. With which eye did Leng Yixiu see her being afraid? She just wanted him to remove his paw from her waist.
In a daze, her waist suddenly felt a force. When Shi Yi finally reacted, she had already been led by the man into a few dance steps. Compared to Shi Yi’s unfamiliarity, the man’s movements were very skilled, clearly accustomed to such occasions.
Shi Yi was curious. Was Leng Yixiu so proficient in social dancing because he often accompanied Cheng Ying to such events, or because of his poor ex-wife?
The answer was probably the former.
Leng Yixiu seemed to notice Shi Yi’s distraction. He leaned closer and asked in a deep voice, "What are you thinking about, so entranced?"
"Guess?"
"A woman’s heart is like an underwater needle, hard to guess." Under the lights, the man’s eyebrows were smiling, and his deep eyes radiated a charming light, mesmerizing.
For a moment, Shi Yi’s thoughts wandered, but she quickly regained her composure. This man, although looking respectable, was not a good person. She couldn’t be swayed by his charm.
Thinking this, a glint flashed in Shi Yi’s eyes. She deliberately and heavily stepped on Leng Yixiu’s foot, then smiled innocently at him, "Oh, Mr. Leng, I’m really sorry, I accidentally stepped on your foot!"
Shi Yi was wearing high heels, and that step used at least seventy to eighty percent of her strength. She thought the man would be angry and throw her into the dance floor in fury. Unexpectedly, Leng Yixiu wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he smiled at her very gentlemanly.
"It’s okay. Miss Shi isn’t good at social dancing, it’s normal for this to happen."
"I’m so sorry." Shi Yi pretended to be very apologetic and then suggested, "Even if Mr. Leng doesn’t mind, I still feel bad. How about we stop for today?"
"When learning social dance, it’s normal to go through this process. Miss Shi doesn’t need to mind. If it helps Miss Shi learn, I don’t mind making a little sacrifice." The man’s large hand still had no intention of letting go.
Sacrifice? Who cares about his sacrifice?
Shi Yi couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Why was this man so persistent? There were plenty of women here, many eager to dance with him. Why must he cling to her?
The music continued. Despite Shi Yi’s strong reluctance, she had to brace herself and finish this dance with Leng Yixiu.
Forward, backward, spin, each of the man’s movements exuded lethal elegance. His hand seemed magical; although Shi Yi knew nothing about social dancing, from an outsider’s view, she appeared to dance quite skillfully.
Of course, except for those slightly messy steps.
To vent her frustration, Shi Yi would occasionally "accidentally" step on the man’s foot. When she used too much force, she could clearly see the changes in his facial expression. But from start to finish, he said nothing and didn’t show any sign of displeasure.
Seeing this, Shi Yi was puzzled. Did Leng Yixiu have a masochistic tendency?
With his intelligence, he must know she was doing it on purpose. Yet, not only didn’t he get angry, he even seemed somewhat pleased. This puzzled her.
Could stepping on him be so pleasurable?
Just as Shi Yi was baffled, the music’s tone suddenly changed. She felt the large hand on her waist suddenly loosen, and the next moment, she was thrown away from Leng Yixiu.
Although Shi Yi had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs walk. She had encountered such situations at previous banquets. It was just to add some flair to the ball by switching dance partners halfway.
What Shi Yi didn’t expect was that Feng Chengyu would come in and stir things up halfway through. When Feng Chengyu’s large hand clamped onto her slim waist, Shi Yi instinctively glanced at Leng Yixiu not far away.
She saw that his formerly smiling eyes now had no trace of a smile. He didn’t seem to anticipate Feng Chengyu’s sudden appearance, and clearly, he wasn’t happy about it.
Did Leng Yixiu and Feng Chengyu have a grudge?
Shi Yi was puzzled, but just then, she suddenly felt a strong grip on her waist, almost crushing it. Feng Chengyu’s cold voice followed.
"Miss Shi, can you be more focused when dancing?"
The man’s voice was neither loud nor soft, each word landing in Shi Yi’s ear. She could even discern a bit of displeasure. Seeing Feng Chengyu’s icy face, she was sure he was indeed in a bad mood.
She didn’t know why Feng Chengyu was in a bad mood, but she was annoyed. Just because he was in a bad mood didn’t mean he could take it out on her. She wasn’t a punching bag.
Thinking this, Shi Yi glared at Feng Chengyu and coldly said, "Mr. Feng, can you loosen your hand a bit? We are dancing, not fighting." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Hearing that, the man’s eyes flickered, and his grip lightened considerably. However, this didn’t make Shi Yi feel much better. Dancing with Feng Chengyu was even more excruciating than with Leng Yixiu.
Although Leng Yixiu and Feng Chengyu were similar in some ways, for some reason, in front of Leng Yixiu, she could act freely and occasionally play some tricks, but facing Feng Chengyu, she couldn’t find the courage.
She thought, perhaps it was because their first meeting left too deep a psychological shadow on her, making her inherently fearful of this man.
Typically, dancers would swap partners for a short while and then return to their original partners. However, it seemed Feng Chengyu had no intention of letting go, holding her tightly the whole time.
His actions drew discussions from the other attendees. Who would have thought the head of the Feng Group would publicly steal someone else’s partner, especially Leng Yixiu’s?
The attendees couldn’t understand. Both were prominent figures in T City, equally powerful. In the business world, they would often cross paths with conflicting interests. It didn’t make sense to embarrass each other over a woman.
Yet, Feng Chengyu did just that.
For a moment, the previously harmonious dance floor became rife with undercurrents.
"Look, Leng’s CEO’s face is turning green," Man A said.
"Exactly. If my partner were taken mid-dance, I wouldn’t be able to swallow that," Man B said.
"Actually, who stole from whom is unclear. That woman was originally brought by Feng Chengyu."
"That’s true. Who cares, we just need to enjoy the show."
