Chapter 1705: Breathtaking

This woman!

Wasn’t she misinterpreting his meaning?

She knew that he was unhappy that she was flirting with the receptionist on purpose, but she still said that he was excited to see his old lover!

Only she would dare to act so wantonly in front of him.

Long Ming tightened his hold on Xiao Ying’s shoulders, his hawk-like cold eyes glancing at the staff. “Is my woman that good looking?”

Sensing Long Ming’s murderous gaze, the staff shrank back, not daring to look at Xiao Ying again.

Long Ming hugged Xiao Ying as they made their way to the private room with the best view on the second floor.

Xiao Ying looked around the room.

The room was filled with expensive wine, fruit platters, and all kinds of unique snacks. They were all catered to Long Ming’s taste.

It seemed like that lady boss really cared about Long Ming!

Long Ming wanted to sit down with Xiao Ying, but Xiao Ying pulled Long Ming’s hand away and stood in front of the curtain.

A performance had just ended on stage and the host was doing his best to introduce the next performer.It was the mysterious lady boss of Mei Pavilion.

A slender figure appeared from behind the white smoke.

That figure was wearing a white dance costume that looked like a feather. As the music sounded, she started dancing slowly.

The woman’s face was covered by a large feather and could not be seen clearly. But even so, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

Her arms were slender and soft as if they were boneless. The hem of her dress drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Just from her figure alone, she was a beauty that made people’s hearts flutter.

But thinking about it, there was no way she would have caught Long Ming’s eyes if she looked too bad.

With the last few actions, the woman removed the feather that covered half of her face, revealing a beautiful and feminine face.

Xiao Ying noticed that when the woman finished her last action, she had smirked and looked toward the room.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the private room were all made of special materials. No one from the outside could look in, but people inside could see what was going on outside clearly.

The woman stared at the room for more than ten seconds before she slowly straightened her graceful figure amidst the thunderous applause.

Xiao Ying glanced at the man sitting in the room. He was not looking at the stage. instead, his deep eagle eyes were on her.Seeing his reaction, Xiao Ying found it funny. “Why? You don’t dare to look at your old lover? She’s indeed very beautiful. You have good taste.”

Long Ming poured a glass of wine, his slender fingers swirling the red liquid in the glass as a mysterious smile appeared on his lips. “Do you smell it?”

“What?”

“There’s a sour smell in the air.”

Xiao Ying sniffled, pretending not to understand what he meant. “What? I don’t smell anything!”

Long Ming downed the liquid in the glass as he got up from the sofa and approached Xiao Ying.

Seeing his dangerous gaze, Xiao Ying stepped back. “Speak properly. Why are you leaning over?”

Xiao Ying’s slender back was pressed against the French windows. Long Ming stood a step away from her, his long hands supporting the sides of her head as he lowered his head. “I don’t like her. Don’t be jealous.”

A smile appeared on Xiao Ying’s lips. “She’s really beautiful.”

“Not as beautiful as you.”

Hearing his deep and pleasant voice, Xiao Ying’s heart skipped a beat and her fair ears could not help but blush slightly.

She opened her mouth and was about to say something when she suddenly heard a woman’s smooth and pleasant voice coming from the stage. “I heard that an esteemed guest of mine brought a female companion over tonight. I got to know my esteemed guest because of our dance. I know that he likes to watch people dance, so his female companion must be an expert in dancing as well. I wonder if I’m lucky enough to invite our esteemed guest to dance for us tonight?”Xiao Ying froze for a few seconds.

Was the lady boss on stage issuing a challenge to her?

Xiao Ying looked up at the man in front of her.

His face was tensed, exuding a menacing and unhappy aura.

He turned around and was about to ring the doorbell when a fair hand suddenly reached over and grabbed his hand.

“What are you angry about? I’m not afraid of challenges.”

Long Ming’s expression was dark as he furrowed his eyebrows tightly. “There are so many men down there. Do you want to dance for them to see? Stop thinking about it. I won’t allow it!”

Xiao Ying lifted her chin. “Are you afraid that I will lose to your old lover?”

“Stop it.” Long Ming grabbed her hand. “She’s not my old lover. I only had you from the very beginning.”

Xiao Ying stared at Long Ming, her eyes filled with determination. “No, since she issued a challenge, I have to accept it. Do you think I will lose to her?”

Xiao Ying had been trained since she was young, so she was strong to the core. She had been through many hardships, and only by doing the best would she not be beaten up. This mentality would not change just because she had left the organization.

Long Ming looked at her determined gaze and did not know what to do with her. “Cover your face and don’t let anyone see your face.”Seeing that he had agreed, Xiao Ying wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. “Trust me.”

…

Xiao Ying went backstage and chose a classical dance dress.

Knowing that Long Ming didn’t want her to show her face, she put on a veil and tied her long hair into a princess bun.

When she arrived backstage, she gave the voice and prop masters some instructions.

A few minutes later, relaxing and soothing music sounded in Mei Pavilion.

On the stage, a slender figure with red silk in her hand descended from the sky.

The red dance dress rippled in the air.

The audience did not believe that there was anyone who could dance better than the lady boss, so when Xiao Ying appeared, there were many boos.

Xiao Ying did not care about the boos or cheers. She landed steadily on the stage and with a wave of her long sleeve, her waist bent down softly before she started to spin. One, two, three… When she was still able to maintain her elegant posture while spinning continuously, the audience below the stage slowly turned their attention to her.

After countless difficult turns, she started to jump again. She landed on the ground so lightly that it seemed like she was going to fly. Even though she was not dressed in extravagant clothes and her appearance could not be seen clearly, every jump and every action she made in the air was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.

She was like a dancing butterfly. She moved naturally, beautifully, and enchantingly.In the room, Long Ming’s well-defined fingers held the wine glass as his hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly.

Everything around him seemed to disappear in his eyes.

He stood up from the sofa and could not help but walk to the French windows, his deep eyes staring fixedly at that soul-stirring figure. His eyes were stormy, his thin lips pursed tightly and his Adam’s apple bobbed.
