As they chatted, Xuxu would furtively glance at her watch from time to time .
It had almost been an hour—why wasn't Yan Rusheng here yet?
She had no idea that after she sat down, a pair of eyes were looking at her and sizing her up from across her seat .
That pair of eyes stayed fixated on her at all times to capture every subtle expression and movement .
As time passed by, the anxious expression on her face became more obvious . The owner of that pair of eyes seemed to have found an opportune moment as he smiled and interjected .
"Secretary Wen, other than cats my mom enjoys playing the piano and dancing too . "
Charles's deep voice sounded from opposite of her .
Perhaps it was because he had kept silent the whole time, but when he finally spoke, Xuxu turned towards him in surprise .
His lips curled slightly and he nodded at her in a gentlemanly manner .
Next, his gaze landed on Princess Lu Fei . "Mom, I'd like to invite Secretary Wen for a dance . Can you play a song for us?"
Dance . . . ?
This sudden change of topic was unexpected . Just moments ago, they were still talking about cats .
Xuxu felt that she couldn't keep up .
"Of course," Princess Lu Fei answered graciously and she stood up . She walked towards the white piano by the window .
"Secretary Wen, may I invite you to dance with me?"
Xuxu barely had time to react before Charles came to her, gracefully extending his hand towards her .
She thought to herself, His mom has already gone up to play the piano, how can I reject?
Tonight's dinner engagement was extremely important . If she didn't handle it properly and offended these distinguished guests, Yan Rusheng would most likely swallow her alive .
Anyway, dancing wasn't too much of a big deal .
"It's my pleasure . " Xuxu placed her hand in his as she rose elegantly . She walked with him to an empty space in the private room .
Princess Lu Fei began playing the piano and chose a graceful waltz tune .
After she entered the third grade in elementary school, she took singing and dancing classes . She didn't really excel at dancing but she wasn't too bad .
Her long white skirt seemed especially fitting for this dance . Every spin made her look like a blooming white lotus .
Her soft body coupled with her agility had pleasantly surprised her dance partner Charles .
He lowered his head to look at her tiny face . Smiling gently, he said, "If I'd known you were a great dancer, I would have invited you earlier . Then you wouldn't have had to accompany our dear Princess Lu Fei by talking about such a boring topic . "
Hearing what he said, Xuxu raised her head in shock . Her eyes met Charles's blue eyes, his lips held a faint smile .
It felt as though he'd seen through her thoughts . She smiled guiltily . "Haha, actually cats are quite adorable . "
It had indeed been boring as she wasn't interested in pets . It was already tough enough to take care of herself, let alone a pet .
When she chatted with Princess Lu Fei earlier on, it had all been a purely high-sounding speech .
Charles slightly raised his eyebrows . "Don't you think that you're lovelier than a cat?"
Wen Xuxu could tell that he was flattering her .
She was slightly embarrassed . "Mr . Charles, you're good at cracking jokes . "
Her fair cheeks blushed with a tinge of red and they resembled a budding flower; beautiful and alluring .
This bashfulness was exclusive to Asian ladies and astonishment flashed past Charles's eyes as he stared at her . He was momentarily entranced, and thus forgot to move his feet, causing Wen Xuxu to step on him .
He didn't feel any pain but Xuxu was startled . "I'm sorry for stepping on you . "
She instinctively bowed her head to look at Charles's feet and he followed suit . "It's alright since it's my fault . "
