1440: The Ball

The Ball

She did not know that when she was nervous, she was like a frightened rabbit, hiding everywhere. However, the more she hid, the more his heart itched to hold her in his arms and tease her slowly.1

"And... and, our families... we are family friends after all. My second brother is now... the Head of the Special Forces, specializing in fighting crime. If he finds out about your... gambling behavior, he will come... and arrest you. When that happens... I don't care..." Lu Ning muttered incoherently.

"Yes," Yin Zhihan nodded and mimicked a childish child. "He seems to be very powerful."

"Of course, he..."

Yin Zhihan suddenly closed the gap between them and lightly pecked her rosy red lips.

Lu Ning's brain exploded at the intimate contact. Did he kiss her?

He kissed her!

"What are you doing?" She widened her beautiful eyes.

He gave her another peck and said hoarsely, "I secretly kissed you. Does your second brother control this?"

She could no longer think. All she could see now was him with a salacious look on his face. She stuttered, "Humph, wait till I see him, I will definitely tell him!"

Yin Zhihan thought that she looked really cute. He reached out to stroke her hair and said, "I will send a small boat to send you back to the shore. The people here are very complicated. Don't stay here."

Her beauty was too remarkable. It was dangerous for her to stay on.

"Are you leaving?" she asked foolishly.

Yin Zhihan smiled. "Why should I leave? This yacht is mine."

Lu Ning knew that she was being silly. She frowned. "Since you're not leaving, then I'm staying too. I have an invitation, you have no right to ask me to go."

"Lu Ning, don't be willful!" Yin Zhihan furrowed his brows.

"What does my willfulness have to do with you?" Lu Ning pushed him away and fled.

..

Everyone who received the invitation was accorded their own rooms. As Lu Ning and Xiao Qiu went back to their rooms, Xiao Qiu said, "Ah Ning, hurry up and change your clothes."

"Change my clothes?" Lu Ning was bewildered. "Why do I have to change my clothes?"

"Because the ball is about to start. You're not going to wear pants to the dance, are you?"

Lu Ning looked down at her sweater and jeans. She was quite pleased with her pure and innocent look.

However, she knew she could not attend a ball dressed like this. Someone would probably chase her out.

"But I didn't prepare a dress."

Xiao Qiu smiled mysteriously. "Ah Ning, I supposed you didn't buy any dresses in Hong Kong when I asked you to, right? Don't worry, I've secretly bought a few exceptionally gorgeous ones for you. Am I not a good friend?"

Xiao Qiu took out the dresses.

"Wow." Lu Ning's eyes lit up as she looked at the dresses spread on the bed. There were all kinds of styles and colors. "Xiao Qiu, when did you buy them? They are really pretty but I don't like these bright colors."

"Ah Ning, I don't understand you. You're so beautiful. And you are just 24 years old. This is the best time of your life to doll yourself up. These colors complement your complexion and accentuate your figure. I guarantee that when you wear these to the ball, you will attract the attention of all the men present!"

"Why do I have to dress like this to attract men's attention?" Lu Ning muttered.

Xiao Qiu rolled her eyes. She was really defeated by Lu Ning. After all, it was a woman's vanity to attract men's attention.
