Prom entrance...
Before entering, Yu Duo heard the melodious music in the venue.
Yu Duo passed the invitation letter to the waiter at the door. The waiter took a look and lead Yu Duo into the venue after verification.
There were a lot of people in the meeting place. They came together in twos and threes, and they had a lot of fun talking to each other.
Looking around, there were a lot of foreigners with high nose and yellow hair. Yu Dao sat in the corner with a cocktail and listened to the music, watching the pair of men dancing gracefully on the dance floor.
Fu Sinian was sitting opposite her, watching her thumb and fingertips subconsciously rubbing the ring finger, where a ring was originally worn. A shallow mark was left on the place after she took off the ring.
"Wow, look at this beautiful girl. She is sitting here alone. Haven't any men in this meeting found the rose in the corner?"
A familiar voice came. Yu Duo looked up and saw the French man she met in a luxury store today.
"Alex?"
"It's me, Miss Yu Duo, I'm glad to meet you again this wonderful night today." Alex reached out and held Yu Duo's hand. He leaned over his hand and kissed the back of her hand.
Yu Duo accepted the kiss from Alex.
"Why are you here?"
"I was invited to the centennial celebration of the hotel," he looked at Yu Du politely. "You are looking so beautiful tonight! I'm sorry to say that I have a bad request. I don't know if I have the honor to be your partner tonight because I really don't want to see ay other men invite you. I also want to taste the jealousy of other men."
Yu Duo was amused at his rhetoric.
"Alex, do you often coax women like this?"
"No, no, you misunderstood, this is not coaxing. This is the truth. They are my sincere words. These truthful words are spoken by a handsome-looking man so they will feel like rhetoric. This is woman's prejudice against men. "
"Oh? Looks like you're a good, dedicated man?"
"I think it's not convincing to talk about such things alone."
Yu Duo raised her eyebrows and just smiled. She didn't know what to say.
Instead of continuing the topic, Alex turned her eyes to Yu Duo, "Your ring?"
Yu Duo smiled, "Took it off. People have to look forward. They can't just immerse themselves in the grief of the past, don't they?"
"Smart woman!"
Alex toasted and took a sip with Yu Duo.
The melodious music sounded, Alex stood up and reached out to Yu Duo. "This beautiful lady, can I have the honor to dance with you?"
Yu Duo thought for a moment.
Fu Sinian's face was darker than the bottom of the pot and the air pressure around his body plummeted, which caused the temperature to drop by a few degrees.
Yu Duo shivered and then put her hands on the Alex palms. The two walked towards the centre of the venue.
It was a tango. The music was slow and melodious at the beginning. Yu Duo and Alex were very close so Yu Duo was a little nervous.
She had learned it before but she hadn't danced in these three years.
But Alex was a good dancer. Tango was very common for him. With Alex, Yu Duo gradually relaxed. Following the beat of the music, she enjoyed the charm of the dance. The two cooperate very well.
The second half of the music changed in vain. Alex and Yu Duo's actions moved in a nice way. Every time they clapped, the smile on Yu Duo's face became more and more brilliant. She seemed to release herself completely. More and more people gathered in the centre of the venue, blocking Fu Sinian's line of sight completely.
One song was over.
There was applause all around, Yu Duo and Alex smiled and thanked the audience for their applause and returned to their seats.
"I didn't expect you to dance Tango so well."
"I've learned it before, but I haven't had a chance to dance in these three years."
"You haven't had the chance to dance for three years? Then I'm so lucky. The first dance in these three years was when I danced with you. But I don't understand one thing. You danced so well so why didn't you dance in three years?"
Yu Duo smiled.
"OK, I won't talk about it."
A man came with a wine glass and asked, "I wonder if it is an honor to dance with a beautiful lady like you?"
Alex refused on her side. "I'm so sorry; this beautiful lady will only dance with me tonight."
Man looked at Yu Duo.
Yu Duo smiled which showed her approval.
"Well, have a good evening."
Yu Duo originally thought that after she rejected the man, there would be no more men coming to ask, but she did not expect that since then the men at the party came one after another, asking whether Yu Duo could dance or to hand over their business card. Yu Duo was distressed and declined one by one.
