Chapter 285: Acting Spoiled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Back at the Si Family’s banquet, Huo Tian and Si Huan performed the opening dance together. Although Huo Tian could only guarantee that she would be proficient in performing the moves, under Si Huan’s lead, the two of them cooperated well with each other during the opening dance and won the applause of all the guests.
The pairing with Si Huan and with her uncle formed a stark comparison, so Huo Tian naturally started to despise her uncle. Then, Si Huan logically brought up the idea of him replacing Ding Chen for the role of Huo Tian’s new dance partner.
Huo Tian’s gaze shifted a little when she recalled the scene when she mentioned this to Si Huan previously. The tips of her ears also unconsciously turned a little hot because the atmosphere back then was indeed a little too intimate.
After she partnered with Ding Chen to practice ballroom dancing for the second time and was stepped on by him several times, Huo Tian finally couldn’t take it anymore. She called Si Huan and complained to him about her painful experience.
Huo Tian became even angrier when she heard the suppressed laughter coming from the other end of the line.
She raised her voice and complained aggrievedly, “I’m already in such a miserable state, yet you’re still mocking me? Do you have a conscience?!”
Si Huan quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose. Alright, I won’t laugh anymore…”
Although he said that, intermittent muffled laughter rang out from the other end of the line, making Huo Tian roll her eyes in anger.
Before Huo Tian really threw her temper, Si Huan finally stopped laughing.
He cleared his throat and said, “Uncle Ding is busy with work and preparing for the banquet. He doesn’t have time to practice ballroom dancing. Therefore, it’s understandable that he’s not familiar with it. Don’t be angry anymore.”
“Of course I understand that it’s difficult for Uncle, but…” Huo Tian emphasized the ‘but’, “But I don’t want to embarrass myself at the banquet with him. We’re going to perform the opening dance, I’d lose face if I were to get stepped on several times by him.”
Si Huan seemed to have pondered for a moment before he said, “In that case, have you considered changing a dance partner?”
“There’s only three days left until the birthday banquet. Who can I find to be my dance partner?” Huo Tian scratched her hair crazily, wearing an annoyed expression.
Then she heard low laughter coming from the other end of the line. Si Huan said in a teasing tone, “You can think about it carefully. You’ll definitely be able to find a suitable dance partner.”
At that moment, Huo Tian’s mind cleared up. She suddenly understood what Si Huan meant and probed, “The dance partner you mentioned wouldn’t be you, would it?”
Si Huan didn’t give a direct reply but said vaguely, “Why don’t you try inviting me?”
Huo Tian felt that there was a teasing tone in Si Huan’s words that made her blush. Her originally carefree personality became a little awkward. “You haven’t found a suitable dance partner?”
Si Huan let out a long sigh and said helplessly, “It can’t be helped. The girl I wanted to invite has already been taken by someone else. The other party is also the girl’s uncle. I have no competitiveness at all and can only feel dejected.”
With him having said this much, how could Huo Tian not understand?
Her cheeks became hotter and hotter, and her heart beat faster and faster. Huo Tian didn’t like the changes that were happening to her. At the thought that this change was caused by Si Huan, she couldn’t help but say angrily to the boy who was on the other end of the line, “I hate your way of talking. Can’t you be more straightforward?”
When Huo Tian said “hate”, there was no disgust in her tone at all. Instead, she sounded like she was acting a little spoiled.
She didn’t notice this at all, but Si Huan heard it clearly on the other end of the line.. At this moment, Si Huan felt as if his heart had been soaked in honey water, warm and sweet.
