Before Luo Zheng could even finish speaking, she accidentally held the gaze of Luo Qingqiu, thus causing her to get the chills.
She was suddenly snapped out of her trance and regained her rationality.
She realized that her actions were definitely shocking and terrifying. She carefully scanned her surroundings.
As expected, everyone on the stage and below it were staring at her.
Luo Zheng, you were courting death!
At this very moment, Luo Tingxue removed her mask to reveal her beautiful face. Staring at her condescendingly, Luo Tingxue said austerely, “Miss, I gave you several reminders but you ignored them and even ruined my banquet. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
She paused and glanced at Bo Hancheng before continuing, “Besides, I was the one who asked Teacher Bo to dance with me first. He should be my dance partner now!”
Luo Zheng had caused a ruckus by bringing it onto the stage. If it were to take place below the stage, things would be less terrible... By vying with the star of the banquet for a dance partner, there was no going back for her!
At this moment, Luo Zheng was feeling fortunate that it was a masquerade where no one would recognize her because of the mask.
Otherwise, the situation might become even more awkward and go out of hand!
After all, she was a member of the Luo Family too!
“Which family are you from? You don’t know the rules at all!”
Three youths appeared and began staring at Luo Zheng.
They were none other than the sons of Luo Zheng’s Uncle and second Uncle, Luo Tingxue’s cousins, brother and Luo Zheng’s... cousins!
Fortunately, Old Mr. Luo was kind enough to stop his three grandsons. He said to Luo Zheng, “Girl, are you Hancheng’s friend?”
Grandpa, I knew it, you are the best... of the best!
Luo Zheng finally snapped back to reality. She nodded awkwardly and chuckled wryly. “Yeah, I’m a friend of his! Brother, I saw you just now and got a little too excited... ”
At the same time, Luo Zheng kept winking at Bo Hancheng in a bid to get him to play along.
Unfortunately, she was wearing a mask and others could not tell what she was trying to say. All they knew was that she was blinking continuously.
Hence, Bo Hancheng ignored the look in her eyes and instead said, “Do we know each other?”
Luo Zheng was utterly disappointed.
Mr. Bodyguard, could you be a little more telepathic? You are going to destroy me sooner or later!
“Miss, please remove your mask and make your identity known,” said Luo Tingxue.
She felt a little more relieved and at ease after hearing Bo Hancheng’s answer.
Luo Zheng thought to herself in misery, I was here to ease my tensions with the Luo Family... If I were to remove my mask now, I will definitely be embarrassing myself and things are only going to get worse!
“Um... I might... have come to the wrong place... ”
Forget it, forget it, I will just get out while the going is good. Luo Zheng smiled and hurriedly turned around in a bid to leave.
After making her way down two of the stairs, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
She turned around and made her way up the stairs again.
Luo Zheng then grabbed Bo Hancheng’s hand and pulled him from the stage. She was clearly trying to take him away with her!
“Teacher Bo... ”
Luo Tingxue’s face grew sullen and she began to panic.
In a moment of anger, she hollered, “Someone, stop her!”
All of a sudden, numerous bodyguards appeared and surrounded Luo Zheng.
Unable to escape, Luo Zheng looked at Bo Hancheng and called pitifully, “Brother, help me! Hurry and help me... ”
She reckoned that he would definitely help her. Hence, she was full of hope and was urging him desperately.
Bo Hancheng frowned and exuded an aloof aura.
He looked down gently to see that she had interlocked fingers with him... She was holding onto him tightly, as if he was her saving grace!
