Chapter 404: Alluring Dance
“Pfft!” Gong Yi Mo laughed. “You didn’t need to rush this badly!”
She pointed to his mouth corner, noticing his hesitation, and decided instead to reach out and wipe away the cream that had smeared on his lip. There seemed to be a jolt of electricity at the spot she had touched. He jerked away, but the electricity still shocked him as he stared at her incredulously.
Seeing him react so strongly, Gong Yi Mo grew curious. She grabbed a handkerchief to wipe her hand while stating, “Please, could you not be so nervous? Aren’t I doing this for the sake of your image? If someone sees that you were so rushed to eat a bite that you smeared cream all over your face, your image would collapse...”
As she casually mentioned this, she continued to eat the cake happily. Her eyes squeezed together in delight like that of a big cat, lazy yet content underneath the sun.
The hand in which she held her fork was white as jade. In fact, this was the hand she had touched the corner of his lips with.
Jin Yun wasn’t sure if this was what liking someone was like. He liked Gong Yi Mo, yet he was so easily affected by her casual action. If in the future, they really stayed together, what would he do to cope?
Jin Yun’s thoughts were half sweet and half worrisome. Was this similar to the situation of a wife not listening to the husband?
His subconsciousness had already blocked out all the worst case scenarios, because he didn’t want to think about those possibilities. He didn’t want to think about those things that would cause him pain, as he was already engulfed in the shroud of joy. As long as he had her, every moment would be this way.
Did this count as being bewitched*?
TN*: literally translates to “entering magic barrier”
At this moment, someone came in.
As Jin Yun noticed the person coming in, he instinctively met Gong Yi Mo’s eyes. The suspicious person handed over a box to Jin Yun and left, thinking to himself, finally, his majesty is making a move! The day the servants’ had been waiting for was finally here!
Gong Yi Mo curiously asked, “What is it?”
Jin Yun immediately clutched the box tighter to his chest. “Nothing...” except for the ring.
It couldn’t be now. When Yi Mo explained the meaning of the ring to him, she also used a phrase which she said was romantic and continued to explain what romantic meant to him.
What was romantic? He pondered over this, wondering if having flowers and water would be romantic enough? Was the moon light, accompanied with wine, romantic enough? But it seemed like he was missing something. He carefully thought through it again, and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea!
As the day slowly faded into night, he felt eager and impatient, unable to wait any longer. He wanted to take Gong Yi Mo somewhere!
In the middle of the night, with such low temperatures, Gong Yi Mo didn’t want to go outside. But seeing how excited Jin Yun was, she could only “follow the master’s orders”!
Who knew Jin Yun would take her to the music hall?
Jin Yun was indeed intelligent. Which place was the most spectacular, with the most beautiful scenery? It had to be the music hall of course!
It just so happened that the music hall they went to was also owned by the wealthy and high-ranked man. Inside the building, there was elegant makeup, fake mountains and rivers, as well as lake lights lit up. The snow that reflected off of the shining lights seemed just like the beautiful forest in the south. The only difference was that this was a night stage and populated by a sea of people, but today, Jin Yun had bought the entire place.
Gong Yi Mo laughed in spite of herself. “You said we would come outside for fun, yet you’ve chased everyone away. What am I supposed to watch for fun now?”
Jin Yun seemed to grow somewhat ashamed as he softly spoke, “You...can still watch me.”
Gong Yi Mo stopped in her tracks. This was the first time she had ever heard Yun Jin say anything that hinted at his feelings towards her. By the time she turned around, she saw Jin Yun stepping towards the stage. As he stood on the stage, he calmly looked towards her.
Although he felt unworthy, when he stood here, he felt full of confidence!
Besides being thorough, and having the mind of a businessman, the last card he could play, was to dance.
