However, he was not used to the intimacy and was in fact, a little bothered by it.
Bo Hancheng shrugged her hand away coldly with a straight face.
He then stared at the Luo Family members and said, “Miss Tingxue, happy birthday. I’m sorry I’m not good at dancing. You’d better look for another dance partner! Old Master, I have something else to attend to. Goodbye.”
He turned around and left as soon as he finished speaking.
Luo Zheng watched as he walked forward, thinking to herself aggrievedly, is he leaving me behind?
Just as she was thinking about it, Bo Hancheng grabbed her wrist coldly and pulled her away with him.
The two of them switched roles.
Everyone watched as they weaved through the crowd and made their exit.
“Brother, I knew you wouldn’t abandon me!”
Luo Zheng sounded overjoyed and a little smug.
Unfortunately, Bo Hancheng did not answer her.
“Brother, slow down! Slower... ”
Luo Zheng was wearing stilettos that made it difficult for her to walk. To make matters worse, he was taking large strides and she had no choice but to scurry along to catch up with him.
“Little imp, don’t test my patience!”
Bo Hancheng spoke without turning behind to look at her.
At the next instant, Luo Zheng felt him tighten his grip on her wrist while pulling her along roughly. She could not help but be overwhelmed with pain.
What should I do?
Maybe, perhaps, it seems... I have provoked him?
Hmm, it makes sense. After all, it is an incredible honor and a rare chance to be invited for a dance by the top socialite of Beijing!
However, I ruined it for him.
We have just reunited and yet I hindered him from picking up a girl, that is really... a little awkward?
I am looking for him with the purpose of... repaying my gratitude.

“Check on it! I’d like to see who was the one who caused a mess during my sister’s banquet.”
The three heirs of the Luo Family proceeded to check on the matter after comforting Luo Tingxue.
Luo Tingxue did not stop her brother and cousins from investigating because she desperately wanted to find out who the girl was... Initially, she heaved a sigh of relief because she thought that Bo Hancheng did not know her. However, she was shocked by the outcome.
He turned down her request to dance together and even left with that girl!
She was feeling extremely indignant.
Old Mr. Luo scanned the crowd below the stage to see that the tension had eased. He looked at his granddaughter and said, “Tingxue, Hancheng is not suitable for you. Do you understand?”
“Grandpa, I know what you mean. He has a lowly status and he isn’t compatible with me! But Grandpa, you must trust my taste. He’s very outstanding and I’m sure he’ll be better than everyone else with some more time!”
As the top socialite of Beijing, Luo Tingxue had plenty of suitors but she had yet to have a boyfriend.
The obvious reason being, she was extremely arrogant and prideful. She also had high standards and would not get easily attracted to just anyone... However, she fell in love with Bo Hancheng at first sight and ever since she met him, she knew that she wanted to be in a relationship with him!
“Tingxue, you don’t get what I mean! You just have to remember not to plunge too deep if he isn’t interested in you.”
Old Mr. Luo sighed and stroked her head.
Bo Hancheng is not inferior to anyone? Of course he knew that. He knew it better than anyone!
Luo Tingxue merely thought that her Grandfather did not like Bo Hancheng because he felt that the latter was inferior and not compatible to her... However, she had no idea that he was just worried that she would not be able to take it because Bo Hancheng had a complicated family background!
“Grandpa, I understand. You don’t have to be too worried! I always get what I want.”
