C362 Precious Marriage of the Wealthy Class 294
The person who cared about Hai Zhixuan the most was, of course, Hai Qingqing.
"Brother, what are you doing?" She got rid of Mo Xiaojun's hand and ran towards Hai Zhixuan and Lin Ling.
She knew that her brother liked Xia Yihan, and it was futile to fall in love with her alone. But there was no need for him to have such a strong taste and like Lin Ling who was like ice cubes, right?
"Thank you, Mr Hai!" Lin Ling snapped out of her daze and stood up with a cold voice.
Hai Zhixuan let her go and whispered, "No need to thank me, walk carefully."
"So it's because I didn't walk well. I thought all of you …" Hai Qingqing stopped midsentence. There were some things that she couldn't say in public, but she knew that her brother knew that Lin Ling was a girl with a personality that her mother wouldn't like.
If Hai Family were to truly marry an ice cube daughter-in-law back, the happy and harmonious atmosphere would probably be completely destroyed right now. So even if they had something, she would stop them before the fire burned.
"For what reason? My mind is in a mess all day long." Hai Zhixuan said seriously.
He was trying to protect Lin Ling's reputation, but Lin Ling felt bitter in her heart. She felt that he was trying to clarify things in front of others on purpose, which only served to show that he had no interest in her.
She really hated that she wasn't paying attention. She wondered if Hai Zhixuan thought she was doing it on purpose to lure him.
It seemed like she would not meet this person often in the future to avoid unnecessary contact.
Zhong Yunchang was the last to arrive. Xia Yihan and Ye Zimo only brought her in after receiving her, heading towards the multi-function hall.
Ye Zimo and Princess Ya Hui introduced these people. At least in the East River, these people could be considered either rich or noble. Moreover, they all had outstanding looks. Princess Ya Hui was quite satisfied with having so many beautiful men.
The ball officially began. As the host, Ye Zimo had no choice but to ask Princess Ya Hui to dance first.
Xia Yihan didn't know how to dance. She quietly sat beside the dance hall and enjoyed Ye Zimo's dance.
He really did it well. He didn't know if it was his first time dancing with Princess Ya Hui, but it didn't look like it was his first time anyways. Their cooperation was so perfect.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little inferior to Ye Zimo. She sometimes felt like an ugly duckling in front of Ye Zimo.
Her gaze never left Ye Zimo and Princess Ya Hui's turning figures. There was a little loneliness and a little envy in her eyes.
However, the few men were all silently watching her. Hai Zhixuan, Lee Heetai, and Mo Xiaojun, without exception.
Lee Heetai and Zhong Yunchang greeted her and told her about the situation in private. He said that he might distract Princess Ya Hui tonight and hoped that she would understand.
Although they were only dating in name, Lee Heetai would still take care of Zhong Yunchang's feelings.
Zhong Yunchang understood that Princess Ya Hui had the same intentions as Lee Heetai for Ye Zimo and didn't want her to harm Ye Zimo and Xia Yihan.
Princess Ya Hui, who was dancing not far from Xia Yihan, glanced at her. Xia Yihan could obviously tell that she wanted to win against her.
She calmly looked at Princess Ya Hui. Even though she wasn't as good at dancing as Princess Ya Hui, she felt that Ye Zimo loved her, so she had a reason to be proud.
After the song ended, when the next one started, Princess Ya Hui still wanted to continue dancing with Ye Zimo.
Lee Heetai stepped forward and bent down gracefully. Princess Ya Hui smiled and handed her hand to him, and the two of them rotated into the dance floor.
Ye Zimo's dance was very annoying. He glanced at Xia Yihan out of the corner of his eyes and saw the complicated look on her face. He really wanted to abandon Princess Ya Hui and go back to her side to comfort her, telling her that it was nothing if she couldn't dance.
Lee Heetai helped him. He immediately walked to Xia Yihan's side, sat down, and whispered in her ear, "Are you unhappy? I'll just dance with her, and leave the rest to them. "
"I'm not unhappy. Mo, I'm just a little envious of you guys for dancing so well." Can you teach me to dance? I want to learn. "
She hadn't felt much about the ways of the upper classes, and she didn't feel bad about not being able to dance. Just now, after seeing Ye Zimo and Princess Ya Hui's harmonious dance, her thoughts had completely changed.
She didn't want to be seen as a prince on high, and she was as humble as a little maid.
She wanted to walk beside him. One day, she would make everyone feel that she was worthy of him. They were a true match.
"Silly Girl, there's no need to learn it. I don't dance often either. When do you think I'm going to dance?" Ye Zimo asked gently.
"I want to learn. Teach me." Xia Yihan was very stubborn. Ye Zimo gently and lovingly took her little hand and said, "Okay, I'll teach you. I just want to hug you."
His voice was very low and only the two of them could hear him. Xia Yihan's face heated up, but her heart was very sweet.
The two of them walked onto the dance floor. Ye Zimo's arm was around Xia Yihan's waist as she stuck close to her.
Xia Yihan was too beautiful tonight. He had long wanted to be intimate with her, and he also wanted to hug her tightly so that the hungry wolves wouldn't look at her again.
However, Xia Yihan was very serious in wanting to learn. If he continued to hug her like this, she wouldn't be able to see what was beneath her feet.
"Mo, you said that the princess doesn't know how to dance when she sees me. Do you think that she will be able to snatch you away?" she whispered.
"No one can take it away." Ye Zimo said firmly and kissed her on the cheek.
"Let's begin. Just follow my footsteps." Ye Zimo said patiently, stepping forward.
Xia Yihan always felt that her not being able to dance in front of everyone's eyes was a bit embarrassing for Ye Zimo, but she was also afraid of Princess Ya Hui's superior gaze, so she was very nervous and kept looking down at Ye Zimo's feet.
She wanted to follow him, but she still stepped on his foot.
Princess Ya Hui couldn't help but bite her lips and take a deep breath. While feeling embarrassed, Princess Ya Hui looked over. Xia Yihan couldn't help but bite her lips and take a deep breath.
This was what she was thinking in her heart, but her feet refused to cooperate with her. She didn't know how much of a hurry she was in, and sweat started to form on her forehead.
Ye Zimo could feel that her small body was stiff, and she felt her heart ache for her nervousness. If he wanted her to stop learning, she would definitely not give up because she was so stubborn.
He leaned close to her ear, blew on the hot air, and said in a bad voice, "Sweetie, you relax, just like in bed, leave it all to me, close your eyes and imagine we're one, just like one person."
Ye Zimo's words made Xia Yihan's face turn even hotter. However, she still obediently closed her eyes, and the images of her most beautiful union with him surfaced in her mind.
Those scenes made her blush and feel her heartbeat, but they also made her forget that this was her first time dancing.
She forgot everything, just snuggled up to him, and as he said, gave herself to her entirely.
She began to spin around the dance floor as if she could fly, until she heard the applause and opened her eyes and saw everyone looking at her approvingly. It wasn't until then that she was able to dance as well as she could.
Even Princess Ya Hui, the expert on the dance floor, smiled admiringly at her, thinking that she was the most talented dancer she had ever seen.
The attention she received completely swept away Xia Yihan's little frustrations. She looked at Ye Zimo happily and said softly, "Thank you for teaching me to dance."
"Didn't I already teach you?" Ye Zimo smiled evilly. Xia Yihan's face became even redder.
After the two dances were over, Lin Ling had someone bring the drinks and two cups together. Princess Ya Hui's attendants tried one of the drinks before Princess Ya Hui took the other drink and drank two mouthfuls.
She was indeed a little tired. In addition to Xia Yihan's earlier display of power, she didn't feel like dancing for the time being.
When the next song played again, Lee Heetai invited Zhong Yunchang. Hai Qingqing pulled Mo Xiaojun and said that she wanted to teach him. Yan Qingyan didn't want Jiu Jiu to stay aloof, so he pulled Jiu Jiu and jumped up.
"Let's go and chat with the princess." Ye Zimo grabbed Xia Yihan's hand and sat beside Princess Ya Hui.
"Mr Ye, you said that person is your younger brother?" Princess Ya Hui looked at Yan Qingyan and asked.
Ye Zimo thought that Princess Ya Hui was very open-minded. After she said that she liked him and seemed to be interested in Lee Heetai, she asked about her brother.
In order to protect Yan Qingyan, Ye Zimo smiled lightly and said, "Yes, he is my younger brother. The one who dances with him is his girlfriend."
"Oh, has your brother ever been to Fanley? Why does he look so familiar to me? I think I must have seen him! " Princess Ya Hui frowned slightly. From the first moment she saw Yan Qingyan, she felt a sense of familiarity. However, she didn't have the time to ask as she was introduced to several people one by one.
When she saw the smile on Yan Qingyan's lips, she felt that he seemed to be someone she was very familiar with, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Ye Zimo scrutinized her face and decided that she didn't mean what she said to his brother, but rather that she had seen him before.
Yan Qingyan had only just confirmed with Ye Family in the first place, so he wasn't sure if he had been to Fenlai before, so it wasn't easy for him to follow up Princess Ya Hui's words.
If he said that Ye Zihan had never been to Fenlai, in case he had, he would say that when they spoke alone, and Princess Ya Hui would think that he was deliberately deceiving her.
On the other hand, if he hadn't, it wouldn't be good if he said he had.
She wasn't an ordinary person. She was a princess and it was very difficult for ordinary people to see her. She was surrounded by certain people, so Ye Zimo felt that she must have mistaken her identity.
"Your Highness, I haven't been with my brother for a long time, and I don't know if he went to Fenlai or not. "When he's finished, I'll ask him to come and talk to you. Would you mind?" Ye Zimo asked.
At the end of the song, Ye Zimo called Yan Qingyan to her side and said that Princess Ya Hui found him familiar and wanted to talk to him.
Yan Qingyan was a little surprised. He didn't feel anything special when he saw Princess Ya Hui.
"Have you ever been to Fenlai before? I think I must have seen you. " Princess Ya Hui asked directly after Yan Qingyan sat down. Because it was a private conversation, Ye Zimo acted as an interpreter and told Yan Qingyan what the princess had said.
"I've never been to Fenlai." Yan Qingyan's answer was very sure.
"Princess has probably met someone who looks similar to me."
His answer was the same as Ye Zimo's guess. He passed on Yan Qingyan's words to Princess Ya Hui.
Princess Ya Hui was silent for a second or two. She was also trying to recall where she had seen Yan Qingyan before. Or was it really someone with a similar appearance?
"Your Highness, your father called." The attendant respectfully walked up to Princess Ya Hui and said.
Princess Ya Hui nodded to Ye Zimo and the others, got up and found a quiet place to pick up her father's phone.
"When are you coming back? Your aunt and uncle have already returned to the country, and your aunt would like to see you. " Father said on the phone.
After Princess Ya Hui told her father the date of her return, she hung up without talking to him for long.
When she returned to her seat, she suddenly remembered that Yan Qingyan looked exactly like her uncle, and not just like him, but very, very similar. If she were to say that he was her uncle's son, no one would suspect anything.
Her aunt and uncle had twin daughters and no sons at all, so she thought she was really mistaken.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I just remembered, your brother looks like my uncle. Shall we continue to dance? " Princess Ya Hui said with a smile.
Ye Zimo didn't say anything further on this topic. He looked at Hai Zhixuan as if it was an accident and Hai Zhixuan immediately understood what he meant.
Even if Ye Zimo didn't tell Hai Zhixuan that the princess liked him, Hai Zhixuan had already discovered it.
No wonder Ye Zimo invited all the men and women from the upper echelons of the East River over. She probably wanted to distract Princess Ya Hui's attention.
Hai Zhixuan agreed with her elegance. He stood in front of Princess Ya Hui and extended his hand with an elegant smile. He said softly, "Your Highness, I wonder if Hai Zhixuan can have the honor to dance with you?"
Princess Ya Hui had also heard of Hai Zhixuan's name and knew that he was Ye Zimo's best friend. At the same time, these few generations of Hai Family were all important government officials. Every time her father brought up Hai Family to her, he would use the words' the whole family is loyal 'to describe it, showing just how strong his Hai Family was.
Therefore, if she danced with Hai Zhixuan, it would not be a disgrace to her identity.
Princess Ya Hui didn't say anything. She just smiled and put her hand on his.
Hai Zhixuan symbolically wrapped his arms around the princess' waist and walked into the dance floor. His movements weren't that intimate, but in Lin Ling's eyes, it was still too intimate.
Princess Ya Hui was not an expert in dancing. Whether it was Ye Zimo, Lee Heetai, or the current Hai Zhixuan, they all danced with elegance, elegance and passion.
Seeing how harmonious they were, Lin Ling had a different feeling in her heart.
She looked at herself in the dark mirror under the dim light. She looked like an ugly duckling no matter how she looked at herself, dressed in professional attire and with short hair that fell to her ears.
She was clearly from a better background than they were, and it was she who did not want her status. It was she who had always been against her father.
At this moment, she had never hoped for everyone to know whose daughter she was.
Lin Ling, you will have this day, she said, curling her lips in a mocking smile, remembering her father's words. Sooner or later, he said, you will know that my daughter is not only not a disgrace, but also your capital.
No, I don't need to rely on anyone, and I don't need to be valued by anyone.
Lin Ling was Lin Ling. She was the most independent and self-reliant woman. Even if she didn't have any love, she would still have a good life.
Hai Zhixuan wasn't worried about Xia Yihan getting jealous no matter who he danced with, so he didn't look at Xia Yihan. He knew she was definitely with Ye Zimo and didn't need his attention.
His gaze, however, drifted towards Lin Ling, who was standing in the corner. She looked a little lonely, although not as lonely as when Ye Zimo was dancing just now. If one looked carefully, they would be able to see it.
Why did she have such an expression? Is she treating me like this …
This woman was truly baffling. It was not like she did not take responsibility for him. The last time they spoke, if she had that kind of thought, why did she reject it?
Hai Zhixuan suddenly felt a surge of irritation in his heart, so he subconsciously frowned.
When he realized that he was dancing with Princess Ya Hui and that his expression was rude, he returned to normal.
When he was not far away from Lin Ling, he once again looked at her face. She was also looking at him, and their gazes collided in the air.
As if struck by lightning, Lin Ling quickly turned around and pretended to be busy with something else.
Her panic made her feel depressed, but Hai Zhixuan was just more agitated.
"You like her?" Princess Ya Hui asked Hai Zhixuan in Chinese.
Hai Zhixuan was surprised, Princess Ya Hui actually knew a little Chinese.
He smiled and said, "I like Xia Yihan. She is Ye Zimo's lover."
Perhaps Princess Ya Hui didn't understand, but her expression was one of confusion. After thinking carefully for a moment, she seemed to finally understand what he meant.
Coincidentally, the two of them changed their dance moves to the area near the seats of Xia Yihan and Ye Zimo. Princess Ya Hui glanced at Xia Yihan even more, thinking, "Is this woman really that good?" So many people liked her.
Xia Yihan really wanted to talk to Ye Zimo, but she knew that he had a task at hand right now. He should pay attention to Princess Ya Hui and not let her feel the cold shoulder.
She understood Ye Zimo, so she didn't say anything to him. Just like him, she also set her gaze on Princess Ya Hui.
When Princess Ya Hui looked over, Xia Yihan's face was filled with praise. Although she didn't do anything, her expression and gaze could still be felt by others.
Princess Ya Hui felt a little regretful in her heart, as if she found some other reason in her eyes and expression that caused her to be noticed and loved.
This woman was very quiet and tranquil. In a society where women were as powerful as FannLai Country, it was almost impossible to find such a girl.
Even though she had challenged her from the very first moment she saw her and had spoken impolitely, she was still able to look at her with such clear eyes, without any jealousy or resentment. This was too rare.
The FannLai Country encouraged women to be independent, worried about the distinctive personality of women, and wanted a woman to be more beautiful than a beard. That night, she suddenly realized that sometimes, women like Xia Yihan, who couldn't see her personality, were the ones that people couldn't ignore.
"Mo, when they're done dancing, you should go dance with the princess. I really like watching you dance. It's too enchanting." When they turned to the side, Xia Yihan whispered to Ye Zimo.
Of course, she could tell that Ye Zimo was purposely refusing to dance with Princess Ya Hui because of her. She never wanted him to feel troubled.
