Ex-Husband CEO, Stop Messing Around!-Chapter 466 - 429: What is the Conspiracy?

Damned Tong Xi, I want you to watch helplessly as the man you like belongs to me! Competing with me for a man, what makes you think you can win, hmph!

"Go say hello to the people you know, I don’t know anyone here, so I won’t accompany you."

Entering the venue, Tong Xi scanned around, Nuannuan and Yan were also there, waving to her from afar, she wanted to go over and chat with Nuannuan. So, she patted Tan Qing on the shoulder, "You come find me later."

"Qing, let’s go dance later."

Qu Min saw Tong Xi and Tan Qing’s hands loosen a bit, her eyebrows lifted with joy, and she immediately stepped forward to grab Tan Qing’s hand.

Tong Xi had just lifted her foot to leave, but set it back down, standing in front of them, with her slender fingers already clenched into a fist.

"I’m sorry."

Tong Xi’s angry appearance was clearly reflected in Tan Qing’s eyes, and he felt an inexplicable delight. He discreetly withdrew his hand from Qu Min’s grasp, embraced Tong Xi’s waist, and smiled apologetically: "My first dance was promised to my fiancée."

"Qing, she..." Qu Min gritted her teeth, then closed her eyes to suppress her anger, but kept a smile at the corners of her mouth, "Then I’ll wait for the second dance."

The same word again: Endure!

Endure small things to accomplish greater schemes!

This was what her best friend had reminded her several times tonight. If she didn’t endure now and drove Tan Qing away, she would only regret it herself.

Tong Xi and Tan Qing exchanged a glance, both with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Qu Min’s behavior today was surprisingly puzzling, shedding her usual spoiled princess demeanor, becoming so gentle and calm that he suspected she was a different person.

"Do you think there might be some scheme tonight?"

Tong Xi hooked an arm around Tan Qing’s neck, and leaning to his ear, asked in a low voice.

Tan Qing chuckled softly, raising an eyebrow, and asked in the same low voice: "Scared?"

"No." Tong Xi shook her head, her large eyes blinking, slowly breaking into a smile.

If Tan Qing liked Qu Min, she would be scared. But that’s not the case; he couldn’t even dislike Qu Min enough, with him by her side, there’s nothing to fear.

She simply decided not to go over to Nuannuan, waved from a distance, planning to have a good chat after the ball was over.

The music began, romantic and warm. At the moment when Tan Qing held her hand and led her to the dance floor, Tong Xi’s heart started to beat wildly.

"Nervous?" Tan Qing smiled gently, "Xixi, that’s not like you."

Tong Xi smiled, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a complex emotion.

Yes, being this cautious is not like her. But love is always inexplicable like this, turning smart people silly, making warriors cowardly.

Simply due to not having received affirmation from the one she loves yet.

"Relax." he gently said by her ear, his magnetic voice playing on her heartstrings, causing both chaos and reassurance, gradually easing her steps into a light dance, she was actually a good dancer with elegance, and for a moment, a word popped into Tan Qing’s mind: lively.

"Why are you staring at me?" The tenderness in his eyes, unconsciously overflowing, made Tong Xi’s heart quiver, and she gave him a shy glance of reproach.

"If you’re not looking at me, how would you know I’m looking at you?" Tan Qing smiled, his peripheral vision catching Qu Min stretching her neck waiting for the next dance, then turned somewhat mocking: "Xixi, if there is indeed a scheme, what do you think it could be?"

"Get you drunk, and then... hmph!" She stopped the words from coming out, but Tan Qing understood, freeing a hand to lightly pinch her face: "Such wild imaginations."

"If it really happens, would you succumb to her..." Tong Xi daringly asked, and Tan Qing’s eyes instantly turned cold: "Tong Xi!"

His teeth clenched tightly, glaring at her fiercely: "If that were the case, would I have waited until today?"
