Chapter 19.3 – The Wise Luo Ruo

The first song entered its coda. Luo Rou pulled away from Nian Bing’s large hands to execute two beautiful spins. Nian Bing’s right hand embraced her waist, making her back arch. At the same time, he stepped forward half a step and pressed his face close to Luo Rou, his eyes exuding a faint smiling expression. Using an ordinary voice, he said, “Miss Luo Rou’s dance form is truly beautiful. Compared to that, mine is so out of practice.” He applied a slight force, and Luo Rou straightened up her back. Sweeping a gaze full of charm over Nian Bing, she said “Young lord is too modest. Although you may be unfamiliar with dancing, your movements blend well with the music. With time, Luo Rou would definitely be unable to match up. Okay, everyone, distinguished guests, please dance as much as you’d like.” After announcing the dance party had officially started, Luo Rou led Nian Bing along by the hand to the side of the dance floor. She could not endure her curiosity and wanted to ask her sisters for clarity.

At the moment, Xue Jing had already forgotten about Nian Bing and stood next to Yan Feng. In a low voice she said, “You don’t dance?”

Yan Feng swept a cold eye over her, and said indifferently, “Sorry, I don’t. Even more, I don’t dance with women who humiliate my friends.”

Xue Jing said with a little anger, “Your friend? How long have you and him known each other? Don’t tell me that right now in your mind, he is more important than me?”

Yan Feng could not endure any longer and shot a glance at Xue Jing. “No, you’re wrong. It’s not important; it’s very important.”

Hearing these words, Xue Jing’s eyes had emitted a slightly happy expression, but once she heard the last clause, the healthy skin color of her pretty face faded from redness, and she almost fainted. “Fine Yan Feng, remember me well.”

“Jing Jing, come, I have something to ask you.” Right at this moment, Luo Rou’s voice rang out timely. Xue Jing turned her body to look, just to see Luo Rou pulling Nian Bing by the hand at the side. One look at Nian Bing, and she immediately found it difficult to breathe. In her mind she secretly said, ‘Stupid Nian Bing, damned Nian Bing, you will die today.’ While thinking this, despite her previously assumed manner of a wise and virtuous woman, she took big steps forward.

Shi Jiu had originally wanted to ask Long Ling to dance, but was prevented by Luo Rou. Nian Bing smiled slightly saying, “Big Brother Shi Jiu, Ling’er, how are you, I didn’t think that I would see you here today.”

Long Ling’s beautiful brows creased lightly, saying, “I really did not think! Nian Bing, you are an Ice Mage, why are you wearing a Fire magic gown today? Moreover, the rank is also wrong! Those clothes look familiar.”

Xue Jing, who had just arrived, heard the last sentence and snorted, saying, “Of course it looks familiar. Aren’t his clothes and the wand in his hand the things you lent me?”

Luo Rou looked at Nian Bing with suspicion, but did not open her mouth. Long Ling stared, wide-eyed. “What? Jingjing, didn’t you say he was a wood……”

Xue Jing, now in front of her sisters, didn’t want to give a harsh strike against her reputation and leave Nian Bing with any sentiment or face. Very fiercely, she snapped back, “That’s right, he is a woodcutter. I did not think that he was actually playing a trick on me.”

Nian Bing smiled indifferently. He said, “Jing’er, how could you say I was playing a trick on you! I helped your good friend cut her cake, is that not keeping in accordance with my pretend position? Don’t forget, right now, I am your boyfriend. I know you all want to ask some questions about how I am so skilled at knife work and cake cutting. It’s actually very simple. I’ve chopped wood for many years. My arm skills have naturally become very proficient. No matter what the thing is, it is actually just like chopping.” He didn’t say a lie, so the expression in his eyes remained undisturbed. When Luo Rou, who had already determined something, saw that calm expression, her mind could not help but arise some doubt to her determinations.
