Xi Zihao tried to look for opportunities to approach Ling Yujin. When he found a gap, he immediately launched his action before Xi Jian appeared and dragged him again.
"Take a look at this, if you don't want your granddaughter to have a bad reputation, you should approve my proposal. And if anyone tries to get in my way, I'll spread this video!" He threaten him.
Ling Yujin saw the two young people in the video. Ling Yue's shocked and chaotic appearance and Xi Jian's look that was no better seemed to convey that the two were doing something indecent.
"Are you stupid? If you spread this, not only my granddaughter, but you will embarass your grandson too!" Ling Yujin was clearly not happy.
"Oh, I don't care about that kid's reputation. His reputation already bad, adding one to the rumor won't make it worse or drop King Empire's shares," he said confidently.
Meanwhile Ling Yue who was dancing with Ling Feng looked at He Luo who was smiling in charm. "What is wrong with him?" Ling Yue asked.
"Don't mind him. He's in the puberty phase." Ling Feng answered indifferently. He Luo looks shining and dazzling. The handsome prince seemed to find himself again after being trapped for a long time.
Someone patted Ling Feng's back. "Can I dance with her, hmm?" He Luo was suddenly appeared behind him.
Ling Feng looked at him unhappy. "Just a minute," he said.
He Luo nodded and Ling Yue moved to He Luo's embrace. "You look very beautiful," he praised.
Ling Yue smiled. "Do not exaggerate."
"I'm not. You look the most beautiful here."
They dance to the music. He Luo stared at her. Something feels different with him and makes her uncomfortable. Ling Yue looked away. Her eyes met with Xi Jian and Ling Feng's eyes. They also look different. Is this the effect of night lights and the wind?
"Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked after making Ling Yue spin.
"No. How could I have a boyfriend if my brothers was so annoying."
He Luo chuckled. "They are truly terrible. You should see how they drive away the men who approach you secretly."
Ling Yue let out a sigh. She already knew that. Ling Yue often saw her brothers throwing away chocolate or flowers given to her. Secretly or openly. He Luo tightened his grip on Ling Yue's hand, with a sparkling smile he said,
"If you are willing, I want to try being your boyfriend. How is it?"
Ling Yue looked at him in disbelief. 'Don't tell me that He Luo is teasing me' Ling Yue really thought about it. Even after their dance was over.
"Don't answer now. Just think about it. I'll wait," he whispered before handing Ling Yue back to Ling Feng.
'Boyfriend'
A word that sounded strange yet familiar to Ling Yue's ear. She always dreamed of having one someday. And now, someone suddenly offered to be that one!
Ling Yue heard the people around her talking but she's not listening, she was still in a daze. 'Do I have to say no?' She didn't feel anything like love or anything close to it as before. Even though it was obvious Ling Yue had liked He Luo.
As long as she lives, Ling Yue never dated. She doesn't know how to difference between love or lust. Her desire to have someone who can be loved and love her back in romantic way is always there. Many people dating end up in marriage. Not a few also led to separation. At least they can get to know each other first before deciding on the next step.
'Is it possible that love will grow over time? it doesn't hurt to try, right? Should I say yes, then?' she asked herself many times.
