Chapter 680: Under the limelight again

Dance floor.

The music for the final dance started.

Geng Yuehua held Dong Xuebings hand and slowly got up from her seat.

Dong Xuebing suddenly realized he was still in a daze. He quickly held Geng Yuehuas hand lightly and walked her to the dance floor. He looked at her cautiously and held her waist. Geng Yuehua also rested her hand on his back and held his other hand lightly.

This is a slow song.

Everyone started dancing, but they glanced at Dong Xuebing and Geng Yuehua.

Everyone is curious and doesnt understand why Geng Yuehua accepted Dong Xuebings invitation.

Dong Xuebing and Geng Yuehua started dancing. Her hand is stiff like her character, but her footsteps are not. Her feet are nimble, and she has perfect dance steps compared to him. One can tell that Geng Yuehua knows ballroom dancing. It was Dong Xuebing who looked like a noob. He follows her pace, and she doesnt care whether he can follow her steps. She just moves as she likes.

Mayor Geng, you can dance well. Dong Xuebing praised.

Geng Yuehua nodded and continued dancing without saying anything.

Dong Xuebing softly said. Thank you for helping me. I really dont know what to say.

Geng Yuehua emotionlessly replied. I feel like dancing, and I am not helping you.

Yes yes yes. Anyway, thanks.

No need.

Dong Xuebing still wanted to say something, but he accidentally stepped on Geng Yuehuas foot. Sorry. Are you alright?

Geng Yuehua frowned. Continue.

I just learned to dance and am not very good at it.

Dong Xuebing looked down and saw Geng Yuehuas high heels under the dim lights. He could see a faint shoeprint on it, and he felt embarra.s.sed and touched at the same time. She had helped him from being humiliated, and he heard she had never danced with anyone before. Now, she is dancing with him.

Dong Xuebing did not continue to think about it and focused on catching up with Geng Yuehuas dance moves.

Dong Xuebing can feel her smooth back under her blouse as he holds her slim waist. As they danced, his hand would brush against her perky b.u.t.t accidentally. It felt good and reminded him of that night.

Are you free tonight? Dong Xuebing asked softly.

Geng Yuehua replied monotonously. No.

Huh? I just wanted to treat you to dinner to thank you.

No need. I had my dinner.

What about supper? I know a good restaurant. We can.

I said I am not free.

Oh, ok.

Many people are looking at Dong Xuebing enviously.

Although Geng Yuehua is known for being unapproachable, she got perfect looks and body. Most people at the ball had invited her to dance before but were all rejected. Now, the Districts biggest troublemaker is hugging her.

The music ended.

Geng Yuehua removed her hand from Dong Xuebings back and straightened her blouse. She turned and announced the end of this event before leaving with Secretary Ma. She seemed to be busy with work. She did not turn as she was leaving, but Ma Jian looked at Dong Xuebing suspiciously as she walked out of the door.

Frustration.

This is the same thought in everyones mind.

What is wrong with Mayor Geng today?

Is this a signal or something?

Cannot be. What can this mean?

The staff started gathering among their friends to discuss Geng Yuehuas actions. But no one can interpret her actions. Its fine if Dong Xuebing and Mayor Geng dont have any conflicts. But they are enemies, and its almost impossible for them to make up. Did Mayor Geng suddenly feel like dancing today, and no one except Dong Xuebing invited her? Maybe she will accept anyones invitation if anyone asks.

How can this be a coincidence?

Every word or action from a District Mayor symbolizes something or has some purpose.

Director. w.a.n.g Yuling ran over apologetically. Im sorry, and I couldnt leave earlier. Its my fault. She had invited Dong Xuebing to be her partner at the ball, but he ended up alone there.

Dong Xuebing laughed. You did nothing wrong. Why should I blame you?

But I

Alright. Its fine. I will scold you if you keep talking about it.

w.a.n.g Yuling laughed and gave Dong Xuebing a thumbs up. Director, you are great.

Dong Xuebing feigned ignorance. What do you mean? It was just a dance.

w.a.n.g Yuling replied. Mayor Geng has never danced with anyone.

Zhou Yanru and her husband walked over and looked at Dong Xuebing in awe. Director.

Alright. Lets go back. I will give you all a lift. They are all staying at the Subdistrict Office family quarters.

Chu Qinghua and Pang Zhengyi looked at Dong Xuebing as the latter left but did not say anything.

Other District Government Leaders are still avoiding Dong Xuebing like before, as no one got what Mayor Geng meant by dancing with him.

That night.

Words start to spread about what happened at the ball.

Dong Xuebing is under the limelight again.
