What You Mean To Me (3)

“ Look at the place! There's a place for everything. “ Shun reminded her of where they were currently.

Looking around, Zhu Ming Yue retorted, “ But, there's no one here, or do you mind if someone sees us? “

“Why would I mind?” he mumbled. “It's just that if you were to bite me here, things would be awkward.” He spoke nervously before her.

Glancing at his nervousness, she said, “ If that's the case, give me your hand! “

“ My hand? “

Handing her his hand, Zhu Ming Yue bent and bit his hand slightly. Releasing his hand momentarily later, she said, “ This will have to do for now. Now, let's go back! Everyone's waiting for us. “

“ Yes, let's go! “

Returning inside, they were circled by guests who were curious about their relationship.

Meanwhile, the emperor, alongside Zhu Zhi Rong and Lidian Hyster, was scheming something sinister.

After two hours of getting acquainted, the dance floor opened. As everyone got to the dance floor, Lidian and Zhi Rong approached Zhu Ming Yue and Shun.

Speaking first was Lidian who bent slightly and while extending his hand toward Zhu Ming Yue, he asked the following, “ Ming Yue, will you do me the honor of being my partner for the first dance? “

Following this was Zhi Rong who while glancing at Shun asked, “ Will you be my dance partner, Shun Song? “

As both hypocrites were waiting for an answer, the guests started gossiping among themselves and a commotion erupted.

Seeing the reactions and stares, Zhu Ming Yue looked at Lidian and while smiling at him, she said, “ Sorry, but I'll have to refuse you. I already have a dance partner. “

Following Zhu Ming Yue's response was Shun's, who was more curt. “ We don't know each other well enough to be dancing together, but you guys know each other, so you can be each other's dance partner. “

Shun's comment alerted the whole room, who wondered about the relationship status between Zhu Zhi Rong and Lidian Hyster.

“ What are you trying to insinuate, Shun Song? “ Zhi Rong asked him and he said without hesitation, “ Why are you asking me this? Didn't you two promise your lives to each other? “

“ What is he saying? “

“ Isn't Lidian Hyster Zhu Ming Yue's fiancé, so how can he be involved with her elder sister? “

“ Does that mean Zhu Zhi Rong stole Zhu Ming Yue's fiancé from her? “

“ How shameful of her to do that? “

As the guests started snarling at her, Shun rewound to twenty-four hours before the recent event took place.

Twenty-four hours earlier, Shun was watering the flowers in the garden when Mia appeared to inform him of a new mission that had just popped up.

“ So, the task this time is to reveal these douchebag's truths in front of everyone. “ Shun smirked slightly before adding, “ It just so happens that an event is taking place tomorrow. This will be the perfect opportunity to teach those two a lesson they'll never forget. “

Rewinding to the present, Shun continued further, “ Lady Ming Yue loved him with all her heart and yet, he was seeing her sister behind her back. How could someone humanely do that? Now, he has the nerve to ask her for a dance as if nothing ever happened? “

“ That's despicable! “

“ How could they? “

As Zhu Zhi Rong and Lidian Hyster were fuming in anger, the guests sympathized with Zhu Ming Yue and her status relationship with Lidian.

Touched by what Shun had done by denouncing the two cheaters in front of all, Zhu Ming Yue bent slightly before Shun and asked him, “ Shun Song, will you do me the honor of this dance? “

Taking her hand in his, he beamed and said, “ It will be my greatest honor to be your dance partner for the night. “

Heading together to the dance floor, the music played and everyone watched them in delight. Everyone, except for Zhu Zhi Rong, Lidian Hyster, and the emperor.

Enjoying themselves as they danced, Zhu Ming Yue whispered in Shun's ear as they got even closer to each other, “ This is the first time I'm enjoying a dance this much. Thanks for this, Shun. Thank you so much. My life has changed so much after meeting you. You're like a miracle in my life, a beaming light watching over me in the darkness. “

“ Lady Ming Yue, don't flatter me too much! I didn't do so much to receive so much praise. “ He said humbly. “ I'm glad regardless to know that my presence has brought you something meaningful. I couldn't be more grateful. “ He grinned slightly as he made her turn.

As the dance continued, one of the guests said, “ Aren't they so cute together? “

“ I agree. They're a perfect match. “ Another socialite lady commented.

As the dance concluded, Zhu Ming Yue and Shun bowed at each other. “ Thank you for the dance. “ She said delightfully.

“ The pleasure was all mine, my lady. “ Shun bent and kissed her hand softly, rendering everyone in the room jealous.

Relaxing with nonalcoholic drinks, Zhu Ming Yue and Shun talked like never before. They bonded, getting even closer to each other than before.

After a while of bonding, Shun felt like going to the bathroom, leaving Zhu Ming Yue in the company of the other socialite ladies.

Walking out of the bathroom and heading to the sink to wash his hands, he met an unpleasant person.

“ Lidian Hyster, what are you doing here? “ Shun asked him, coldly. Responding to the question, he said, “ I'm here for the same thing as you.

As Shun finished washing his hands, he said, “ In that case, you should continue with your business. I'll be heading out now. “

As Shun was about to walk past him, Lidian suddenly held his hand and said, “ Not so fast, Shun Song. Where do you think you're going? “

Meanwhile, Zhu Ming Yue was starting to worry as Shun had yet to return from the bathroom.

“ Why isn't he back yet? I hope nothing happened to him. “ She mumbled anxiously.
