Please Confess to me

Chapter 23

When the song ended, Su Hang half-hugged Shen Xi and supported her out of the dance floor. He carefully set Shen Xi down on the sofa and crouched down. Full of guilt, Su Hang asked: "Are your feet alright?"

"It's fine." Shen Xi felt like Su Hang was making a big fuss over a minor issue. "Your foot barely touched mine."

Shen Xi had initially thought that Su Hang had almost mastered the dance and stopped giving him hints during the latter half of the song. In the beginning, Su Hang had been immersed in the quiet bubble Shen Xi had created. But when the music was coming to an end, and Shen Xi stopped giving him instructions, he suddenly woke up from his daze. Without Shen Xi's prompts that got him out of his head, his heart started to panic, and his steps became messy. In the end, Su Hang managed to step on Shen Xi again.

Su Hang was a man who stepped on five dancing assistants. He knows just how heavy his feet were. Frustrated, Su Hang pursed his lips and stared down at the skirt of Shen Xi's long dress. He wanted to lift it up and have a look at her feet, but Su Hang feared that Shen Xi would get mad.

"My feet are fine. Really. Here, take a look." As if she knew what Su Hang was thinking, Shen Xi slightly raised her dress, revealing a pair of silver high heels.

"It's red." Looking at the red mark on her instep, Su Hang couldn't help his hand from reaching out. But before he could touch her, Shen Xi dropped her dress back down, blocking him.

Startled, Su Hang raised his head and saw Shen Xi blushing as she stammered. "You...Don't you...."

There are so many people here, how can he just...Shen Xi was so embarrassed that she didn't dare look around. There were definitely people looking at them. After all, they were supposed to be the joke of the night.

Su Hang was at a loss.

"What are you doing?" Yun Shu, who had been nearby, sensed the strange atmosphere around the couple.

"No...it's nothing." A panicked Shen Xi quickly replied. She then asked: "What's up?'

Yun Shu thought about her objective and glanced at the still crouching Su Hang. Yun Shu smiled at him and asked: "Mr. Su, can you please lend me your wife for ten minutes?"

Su Hang's ears immediately turned red. He stood up and said to Shen Xi: "You two talk, I'll go get something for you to eat."
　　　
Su Hang then turned away and quickly walked towards the buffet table. He picked up a glass of champagne and downed it, covering his irrepressible smile. He looked towards Shen Xi and saw her chatting with Yun Shu, their heads close together. His image of Yun Shu was much better. Yes, Shen Xi was his wife. Look, even her best friend recognizes this.

"What do you need?" After Su Hang was sent away, a confused Shen Xi looked at Yun Shu.

Yun Shu didn't answer Shen Xi and instead gave her an enigmatic smile.

"What are you smiling at, ah?" Shen Xi found her smile weird.

"I've been watching you, ah." Yun Shu said. "From the moment you stepped on the red carpet."

"So? What are you trying to say?" Shen Xi couldn't stand all this cryptic talk.

"I found that...you get along with Mr. Su more deeply than I thought." Yun Shu replied.

"How did you think we'd act?" Shen Xi curiously asked.

"I thought you'd treat each other courteously at best. I never thought you two would be so lovey-dovey." Yun Shu replied.

"What? When did we act lovey-dovey?" Shen Xi asked.

"Don't think I didn't see. He wanted to touch your feet just now." Yun Shu teased.
