320: Why did you step on me?

Why did you step on me?

Nei Mianmian was good at dancing and she was absolutely confident that she was definitely the dancing queen of this dance floor.

She lifted her skirt, pursed her lips, and looked at Xi Ting as she said, "When you attended the gathering, I was still young so I never really came. After that, I always came but you were too busy and didn't show up often. Now that we're finally here together, why don't you have one dance with me?"

Xi Ting looked at her, "No, I don't know how to dance."

"I can teach you. You're so smart that you'll be able to pick it up in no time."

"I am sorry, but I am not in the mood to dance," Xi Ting rejected Nei Mianmian outrightly.

Nei Mianmian heard this at the side and felt his coldness towards her once again. She couldn't help but feel enraged.

When she became the dancing queen tonight, she would dance with him. She had to let him see how every guy would look at her in admiration as she got crowned as the dancing queen.

It was something that little nobody Qin Yan could ever match up to.

At this moment, someone beside Xi Ting whispered something. Xi Ting's brows twitched a little. He nodded and got up to walk out.

Qin Yan was still walking around when she heard someone call from behind, "Yan Yan!"

She turned around and saw Xi Ting appear out of nowhere.

Qin Yan smiled at him, "I was looking for you."

Xi Ting looked around and led her to a quiet corner inside. He put an arm around her shoulders as they walked. He asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I just saw that it was already night and I wanted to come out and look at the sea. Who knew that there would be a dance event here? So I came to look," Qin Yan replied.

Xi Ting brought her in and said as they walked, "Why? Are you interested in the dance?"

Qin Yan said, "I'm not interested. I was just curious, so I came over. I didn't expect everyone to be dressed like that. I feel like I'm watching a movie."

"Yes, tonight is retro dance night. They like to set the dance event to a certain decade and everyone dresses accordingly. Today, it's a medieval dance event, so it's more retro."

"I see."

Nei Mianmian saw Xi Ting leave and quickly tried to find him. Just then, she saw Xi Ting bring Qin Yan in at the side. The two of them were inside, almost leaning against each other as they talked.

Nei Mianmian grunted. This Qin Yan still had the cheek to turn up, and especially in such drab clothes. Did she not see what everyone else was wearing in here?

Xi Ting looked at Qin Yan and said, "Since you're here, let me get someone to bring some clothes for you. You can change here."

Qin Yan nodded and watched Xi Ting gesture his attendant to bring some clothes. Not long after, the clothes arrived.

It was a pale, pinkish purple vintage gown with a bare back. The top was layered and the workmanship was intricate. A chain of silver-black lines traced the beautiful patterns, which were hand-embroidered on the dress. It made the dress look even more exquisite.

Qin Yan wore it and the skirt cascaded down, leaving a slight trail behind her. Her ankle peeked out through the dress, revealing her high heels as well.

Qin Yan walked out for Xi Ting to see, "How do I look, Ah Ting?"

Xi Ting turned around. His eyes narrowed as he looked at her dress.

Very beautiful.

He smiled and said to her, "You look great."

"Really?"

Xi Ting nodded. The two of them walked out then.

Just then outside, Nei Mianmian immediately saw Qin Yan come out. She looked at Qin Yan's dress. It actually looked so good on her body.

She pursed her lips and walked towards her. She lifted a leg and stuck it out. Qin Yan had already seen Nei Mianmian's leg stuck out. She was not going to let Nei Mianmian off so easily this easily. Thus, she lifted her leg and stepped on Nei Mianmian's ankle…

Nei Mianmian exclaimed, "Ouch!" She quickly started whining and exclaimed, "My foot, my foot… Qin Yan, you stepped on my foot. I'm dying of pain."

She sat on the ground and lifted up her skirt. Immediately, her ankle got swollen from Qin Yan's high heels.

Xi Ting looked and checked Qin Yan if she was okay. It was just a split second when his attention was diverted and this happened.

Meanwhile, only an attendant hurried to Nie Mianmian's side and asked, "Miss Nie, you…"

"Go away. I don't need your concern," Nie Mianmian exclaimed angrily. "Qin Yan, you actually dare to do this to me?"

Qin Yan turned haughtily to Nei Mianmian, "Miss Nie, you were the one who stuck your foot out. Now, you're blaming me?"

Nie Mianmian stared at Qin Yan, "What do you mean I stuck my foot out? You obviously stepped on me on purpose! Can't you see my injury? It's because you stepped on me!"

Qin Yan scoffed coldly, "That's because you stuck your own foot out. You brought it upon yourself."

"You… Qin Yan…" Nei Mianmian raised her head and kept looking at Xi Ting, "Ah Ting, do you see how she's treating me? Aren't you going to say anything?"

Xi Ting looked at Nei Mianmian, "I believe that she didn't do it on purpose."

"What?" Nei Mianmian blew up. "This is not doing it on purpose? She intentionally stepped on my foot. She intentionally didn't want me to dance tonight!"

Xi Ting scoffed, "I only hope that you're not wasting our time. If it is really as you claimed, I can ask for the surveillance video. This entire dance event is being watched. By then, we'll see whose problem it is."

Nei Mianmian stood there silently. She couldn't utter a word at that moment. If they checked the surveillance footage, it would be all too clear. Seeing Nei Mianmian go silent, Xi Ting grunted.

Qin Yan didn't want to cause a scene anymore. She tugged at Xi Ting, "That's enough. Let's go."

Xi Ting then nodded and took her to leave. Nei Mianmian was hopping mad, but she could only stare as the two of them disappeared from her sight.

Xi Ting looked inside. Although Nei Mianmian's foot was hurt, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to compete for the dancing queen title. Thus, it was not long before she was dancing inside again. She found a handsome guy and vented all her anger in her dance. She only wanted to dance better so that she could stand out and make Qin Yan feel defeated.

Qin Yan naturally saw Nei Mianmian go in after hearing the crowd. She looked at Xi Ting and said, "Miss Nei is rather a good dancer."

Xi Ting's eyes swept across as he asked Qin Yan, "Do you want to dance?"

Qin Yan replied, "Forget it."

"Why? Do you want to dance?" Qin Yan recalled hearing others mention that Xi Ting had never danced in the open.

Xi Ting replied, "Only to accompany you."

Qin Yan heard this and was very moved, "That won't be nice…"

Xi Ting tapped her nose, "Come on."

"Okay," Qin Yan also grew excited. She looked at Xi Ting's black suit, which had white edges. She wanted to see how Xi Ting looked like when he danced.

Xi Ting held Qin Yan's hand. Qin Yan held her gown with one hand while her other hand was placed lightly in Xi Ting's.

With her own outfit and Xi Ting's, it seemed as if she was looking at a prince. It felt especially beautiful. Xi Ting tugged her along and they soon reached the dance floor.

The music started as Xi Ting smiled at her, "Come on, dance."1

As he spoke, he pulled Qin Yan and fluidly turned one round. She spun until she reached his side. Qin Yan was stunned and her hand was placed on his shoulder. The other hand was held in his.

His hand was placed on her waist and she subconsciously straightened her body as she looked at him. One round after another.

Qin Yan knew how to dance. Following Xi Ting, her entire focus seemed to be concentrated on his beautiful body. Qin Yan forgot all about herself and danced with her heart instead, not caring about anyone else. This actually felt great.

On the outside.

Someone exclaimed, "Look! Who is that? Isn't that Young Master Xi? Why is he dancing?"

"Oh my God! It really is Young Master Xi."

"I'm not seeing things, right?"

The onlookers were already crowding around them, exclaiming and pointing as they looked at Xi Ting inside.

The other dancers were dancing well but they saw at the side that Xi Ting was on the dance floor with Qin Yan. They were spinning and jumping. The other dancers stopped what they were doing and looked at the pair in shock.
