Long Jie and Song Luli did not let go of each other even after the music had slowed down.
The dimmed lighting darkened, leaving only flashes of white light to spot Xue Guangli and Long Huojin. The attention of the audience diverted to them, giving them the entire spotlight.
However, Long Jie was still holding Song Luli, near the corner of the dance floor, away from the rest of the crowd. Song Luli tightened her grip on him, feeling the fabrics of his suit.
The song came to a full stop, and Song Luli pulled away from him, holding her breath, preventing him from seeing the slight rise and fall of her chest. Her heart hammered, though her face appeared to be cold and aloof.
"Thank you," she said to him neutrally, whirling around and walking away from him.
Long Jie stood rooted at his spot, watching as she squeezed through the crowd, while some men gave her appreciative glances as she took each step.
