Chapter 268: Zheng meets Mu Nianqing again
Luo Zheng frowned, and noticed that he was actually staring at her with a shy and tender gaze.
She felt rather confused instead of being surprised.
What feelings… can Xi Mubai have towards me? Hah, I must have seen wrongly. The person he likes is Mu Nianqing!
Mu Nianqing…
Luo Zheng scanned her surroundings and thought, the banquet has already begun. Mu Nianqing must be nearby!
“Luo Zheng, what happened… to your neck?” Xi Mubai asked tenderly.
When he arrived, he had already noticed that she was wearing a white silk handkerchief on her neck which stood out from the rest of her outfit.
At this moment, he finally realized that there seemed to be some marks on her neck which resembled an injury.
“I’m fine, it has nothing to do with you!” Luo Zheng answered with a frown.
Knowing that she was just trying to brush him off, Xi Mubai’s eyes turned a little gloomy. He noticed that she had turned around and was about to leave. Hence, he grabbed her and asked, “Luo Zheng, where are you going?”
He then paused and realized that he was showing her too much concern. He explained, “The banquet has already begun. You’re my partner so you should do the first dance with me.”
The Gu Family banquet officially began and numerous guests entered the dance floor in pairs, accompanied by melodious music.
Luo Zheng was rather annoyed because she only agreed to be his partner for the banquet, for the sake of spiting Mu Nianqing, not to dance with him!
“After the first dance, I’ll introduce you to a friend… ”
Xi Mubai said at the thought of Mu Nianqing whom he had run into not long ago.
Luo Zheng looked a little puzzled, and listened to his serious explanation. “I heard that you made a bet with your cla.s.s teacher. Luo Zheng, don’t let your anger rule your head. Your grades are too poor, you need to have a tutor as soon as possible if you want to graduate! The friend I’m going to introduce you to, does very well academically. She can tutor you… ”
“Xi Mubai, have you got too much time on your hands?” Luo Zheng suddenly interjected.
At the thought of him having already downed the wine, she exclaimed, “If you’re that free, why don’t you pay attention to yourself instead!?!”
She then shrugged his hand away, clearly extremely annoyed.
Displeased to have been rejected, he said in displeasure, “Luo Zheng, you… ”
“Mu Nianqing!”
Luo Zheng interjected again, her usually tender and mellow voice becoming sharp and high-pitched.
Her eyes were wide open and she stared at a corner.
She was staring at Mu Nianqing!
Xi Mubai was puzzled and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know Mu Nianqing? What a coincidence, she is the friend I want to introduce to you.”
Luo Zheng’s blood seemed to have frozen when she heard his words. She turned to look at him while allowing her resentment to show.
Introducing Mu Nianqing to me and getting her to be my tutor? What an “honor”!
“Luo Zheng, are you… alright?”
Her smile faded and her face turned pale. Resentment was written all over her face and she looked rather daunting.
All of a sudden, she seemed to have become a completely different person who had experienced the tragic experiences of life.
“Ah!”
After a while, Luo Zheng chuckled with melancholy.
She then turned around and sprinted towards Mu Nianqing.
“Luo Zheng… ”
Xi Mubai quickly called her name but she did not stop at all.
Without hesitation, he chased after her quickly.
At the same time, he suddenly felt weak, warm and a little feeble, though he was unsure if it was just an illusion.
He had no choice but to loosen his tie in a bid to dispel the heat.
He then ignored the discomfort and continued to chase after her.
