There was a commotion all around.
"O, the second young master of the Alva family wants to make this girl a popular queen."
"The second young master is just a playboy. How can he not support a beautiful woman?"
"Remember last year? He looked at the clothes and praised someone, but ended up praising an ugly person. He was completely humiliated and laughed to death."
"Okay, look at your sour energy, so what if you're a playboy? Looking at the whole ball, there are a few unmarried girls who don't want to marry into the Alva family. Are you jealous?"
"Dance! Dance! Dance!"
"I want to see if the second young master is still ugly this year!"
The booing continued.
Shi Xiaonian was pushed down the stairs by the crowd, and the two small hands she was holding were rushed away. She turned her head anxiously and saw Gong Yao holding Gong Kui standing on the edge of the stairs, holding her other hand tightly. He gripped the armrest tightly to prevent himself from being squeezed down.
We can no longer let people move around.
Shi Xiaonian gritted her teeth, lifted up her skirt and walked resolutely towards the dance party.
The crowd made bursts of noise, but there was no more commotion. The two children stood on tiptoes on the armrests and looked at her, quiet and silent.
This Gong Ou... With his methods, how could he still not get away yet? He said that he had some clues, and Mr. Gong was obviously hung in the light box.
It's time for him to show up, right
The man dressed as a knight stood in the center of the stage, smiling at her under the lights, and slowly gave a gentleman's salute...
Shi Xiaonian looked up at the light box and moved towards him.
"Thank you for the compliment."
The man put one hand behind his back and handed the other to her. His eyes were full of deep admiration, without any trace of trying to hide it.
Shi Xiaonian did not reach out his hand.
For no other reason, Wu danced with the man in front of her. With Gong Ou's personality, she had trouble with her for a month.
A servant suddenly came forward and whispered something in the man's ear. The man's face darkened and he said, "You go down first."
The servant didn't leave, "But..."
"Go down first if I ask you to!"
The man's tone became serious.
The servant had no choice but to retreat, and the whole place was still making noise. It seemed that the second young master of the Alva family was still the focus of the ball...
"Forget it if you have something to do, I don't really like dancing."
Shi Xiaonian hurriedly took the opportunity to step down from the stage, but his hand was caught as soon as he turned around.
She turned back in surprise, and the light fell on the man. He stood there, like a medieval knight, tall and mighty, looking at her lovingly with his eyes, as if she was the only one left in the world.
For someone who had just met for the first time, Shi Xiaonian was not used to such a look.
She pulled her hand away again.
"Don't you want a prize?" the man asked, looking up at the light box hanging high in the sky, "Anyone who dances with the second young master of my Alva family, as long as they are not ugly, can become a popular queen."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips. She had to admit that this sounded very tempting to her.
After experiencing so many twists and turns, she just hopes to get through it calmly when encountering problems.
Although there is nothing wrong with dancing, Gong Ouna...
She couldn't allow her to think too much. The lights on the venue changed again and again, and even the music changed from slow to fast, seeming to urge them to start dancing quickly.
The crowd was once again in a commotion, shouting loudly for them to dance.
Some people began to boo and curse wildly, saying not to waste time.
The scene was chaotic.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but look at Gong Yao and Gong Kui. They couldn't involve the two children. She could no longer control the situation.
"Can you really give me the prize?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
If this is the case, then make a quick decision and quickly dance away Mr. Gong before Gong Ou sees this scene.
"As long as you're not ugly." The man approached her and stared down at the mask on her face, "Can I take off your mask now?"
Unmask? I don’t know if the housekeeper is here. If she is recognized as one of the "thieves", it will be troublesome...
“Is there a way to get the prize without taking off the mask?”
"you are ugly?"
"Very ugly." Shi Xiaonian said without thinking.
Hearing this, the man chuckled, slowly lowered his head and approached her face, looked directly into her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Then be ugly, these eyes are enough to make me fall in love at first sight."
love at first sight…
Shi Xiaonian thought of Gong Ou again. Does the second-ranked man still like to talk about this
"Hey! Are you going to dance or not? If you don't dance, get down! I want to make my female partner the most popular queen tonight!"
Someone was shouting loudly below.
Hearing this, the man's face sank, and he turned his eyes and rushed to the crowd and shouted, "This is my Alva family's place. If you don't like it, get out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at him silently.
This wild and uninhibited appearance is somewhat similar to Gong Ou...
No matter how dissatisfied or uproar others were, the man looked away, changed his face in a second, continued to stare at her affectionately, and took another step forward.
The two of them stood on tiptoe.
His hand slowly rose to hold hers.
"Let's dance." The man smiled slightly, lowered his head to her ear, and said in a low voice, "I know who you are, this dance is a game, I want to save people, help me..."
help
Shi Xiaonian's eyes were shocked. Before he could hear the next sentence, he heard a "bang" sound, and a knight's long sword penetrated deeply into the stage floor beside them, and the blade of the sword burst out with cold light...
Shi Xiaonian was pulled back by the man.
The sudden situation caused the entire audience to fall silent.
"Who gave you the courage to ask my wife, Gong Ou, to dance?"
An arrogant voice suddenly sounded.
Shi Xiaonian raised his head in surprise and saw a tall figure standing in the second-floor corridor above his head. He was dressed in the costume of an ancient knight and had a face as handsome as a sculpture. At this moment, he was looking down at them, He looked down at the world, his eyes filled with rage.
The lights are dim.
His figure makes people feel calm.
He's finally here.
Shi Xiaonian breathed a sigh of relief, she was really ready to dance and take Mr. Palace away.
The second young master of the Alva family stood next to Shi Xiaonian, obviously not too surprised. He looked up in the direction of Gong Ou and said, "Mr. Gong, it is very nice for a gentleman to invite a beautiful lady to the ball. etiquette."
After hearing the name Gong Ou, there was already a lot of discussion at the ball.
Gong Yao pulled Gong Kui and rushed down the stairs, finding a relatively empty place to stand.
The whole family has arrived.
After seeing Gong Ou's sword flying down from the second floor, the two children no longer worried.
Gong Ou stood on the second floor and sneered, his voice cold and crazy, "If you touch my wife's hand again, I will make your life not so good!"
"Is it?"
This playboy happened to be a person who liked to go against the wind. As he spoke, he forced himself to hold Shi Xiaonian's hand. Shi Xiaonian saw this and hurriedly shook it off.
The next second, Gong Ou suddenly stood on the handrail of the corridor on the second floor, and then jumped down without hesitation. He stepped straight on the huge light box and pressed the switch with his slender fingers.
The light box slowly descends.
The robot figure in the light box did not move, still staying so quietly.
The light box landed, and Gong Ou kicked the long-haired man out, landing firmly on the ground.
The man's long hair spread out and he took a few steps back in embarrassment. He finally stood firm. The cold sword edge was already pressed against his neck. Gong Ou stood in front of him holding the sword, his black eyes staring at him coldly, filled with emotion. Killing intent.
"Sacrificing your life or your hand?"
Gong Ou spoke coldly, with a very ugly expression on his face.
As soon as he came over after handling the matter, he saw this man being careless with Shi Xiaonian, and a wave of anger immediately burned through his body.
"Gong Ou..."
Shi Xiaonian frowned and looked at Gong Ou and shook his head, "We just take Mr. Gong away."
Don't make matters worse, this man is not trying to take advantage of her.
After hearing her words, the embarrassed man's eyes changed and he couldn't let them leave like this.
After thinking for a while, the man said loudly, "Let's go? Our Alva family is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want? So what if it's your wife? I fell in love with her at first sight. Since we are all dressed as knights today, why not come?" A fair duel! If you win, your wife will be mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a red blood stain was drawn on the man's neck, and the man frowned in pain.
Someone below screamed in fear.
Isn't it a masquerade party? Why did it suddenly become a duel scene
"Say it again if you can!"
Gong Ou stared at him, clenched his teeth, wishing to kill him immediately, but Shi Xiaonian was here, and the two children were also there, so he would not kill him in front of them.
The man pushed back his half-length hair and wiped the blood on his neck. His face began to turn pale, but he had no intention of giving in. "To be fair, I haven't taken out my sword yet!"
This person is already at a disadvantage and still keeps provoking Gong Ou
Shi Xiaonian stood aside and looked at him doubtfully. He had just whispered to her something about helping him, and his voice clearly sounded like pleading...
Does he really have something to hide? But what can she do to help? This is his place...
"Shi Xiaonian, where are you looking!"
Gong Ou glared at Shi Xiaonian displeasedly, his jealousy rising. What happened to this woman
The man had a sword against his neck, but his eyes were looking at Shi Xiaonian.
Those eyes were full of silent requests, completely different from the admiration just now. That look shocked Shi Xiaonian...
Knowing that angering Gong Ou would not end well, he still insisted on going his own way. Maybe there was something hidden in this dance.
Then let Gong Ou find a chance to listen.
Let the two of them, who are both ranked second, solve it...
"Shi Xiaonian, you're still watching!" Gong Ou became even more unhappy.
"Gong Ou duels with him."
Shi Xiaonian made a decisive decision.
"..." Gong Ou thought he heard wrongly and glared at Shi Xiaonian fiercely, "What did you say?"
"Let's duel him, Gong Ou. Respect other people's rules in other people's places." Shi Xiaonian looked at the man and said word by word, "If you lose, I will take the prize away. Don't embarrass us; you win Now, let me dance this dance with you."
With Gong Ou here, it's impossible to jump.
"good!"
Of course the man agreed, with a flash of gratitude in his eyes. (To be continued)
