At the hall where the party was held.

All the ladies from prestigious families surrounded Qiu Cici. "Cici, congratulations, you're going to be the Young Madam of the Guding Castle!"

"Yes, Cici, don't forget us when the time comes."…

Qiu Cici was the center of attention and she smiled in delight.

"Come and see, Young Master is back."

"Why… why did Young Master carry Lin Shiyu back?"

Through the course of the party, Lin Shiyu's name had spread like wildfire overnight in Mexico and everyone now knew of her.

Qiu Cici looked up. The people in front made way as Fu Qinglun walked towards them with Lin Shiyu in her arms.

He had carried Lin Shiyu back!

Fu Qinglun arrived at the center of the hall with steady footsteps. He placed Lin Shiyu down, bent his body and extended his large palm towards her. "Miss Lin, may I invite you to dance?"

Lin Shiyu looked at her own stilettos which were already damaged. How could she dance in this stage?

"Mr Smithson, thank you for your invitation, but my feet hurt, so I can't dance," Lin Shiyu declined him politely.

Fu Qinglun did not have much of a change in his expression. He knelt on one knee on the floor, stretched his hand out and proceeded to take off her stilettos.

In an instant, her feet were on the soft carpet.

There was a gasping sound. "My goodness, the Young Master actually bent down to remove Lin Shiyu's shoes!"

"Lin Shiyu is like a royal princess and the Young Master is her knight in shining armor!"

"Our mouths have been stuffed with dog food!"…

Lin Shiyu did not think that he would actually remove her shoes. It was not too proper for her to be bare-footed at such a grand event.

She wanted to step back, but Fu Qinglun suddenly grasped her delicate hand and wrapped his other arm around her svelte waist. He muttered in a deep voice, "Step on my shoes. I will lead you in dancing. This way, you won't feel any pain."

He raised his arm slightly and her feet stepped on his shiny black leather shoes.

At this moment, melodious music was heard from the hall. Fu Qinglun led her there to dance.

Fu Qinglun was the Young Master of the Fu Family in the past. He had received an excellent all-rounded education and so his dancing techniques were very good. Lin Shiyu had a foundation in dancing and was adept in all kinds of dance.

But now she was stepping on his feet and she could not let go.

"Hold my neck."

"What?"

Fu Qinglun wrapped her arms around his neck.

At this moment, she felt a tightness around her waist. He had gently placed his arm around her waist.

Both of them did not showcase any impressive dance moves. They merely swayed along to the romantic French song and it was all very tender and intimate.

"Is it okay to dance like this?"

"Why is it not okay?"

Lin Shiyu held onto his neck with both hands. He was already taller than her by one foot, and now that she was stepping on his feet, she was instantly taller than him by one foot. When she looked him, she needed to lower her head to do so.

Both of their bodies were entwined together. She could already feel the comfortable warmth from his body through the thin clothing, coupled with a tinge of his passion.

The atmosphere in the hall was raised by a few notches. Everyone had goosebumps from watching them dance.

Lin Shiyu's beautiful face was a little red. She knew that everyone was looking at them hugging each other and swaying along to the music. Her hand slid from his neck to his shoulders and she said in a soft voice, "Fu Qinglun, you sure know how to chase girls now."

Even though he already had a new identity, she still liked to call him Fu Qinglun in private.

Fu Qinglun arched his good-looking brows and smiled tenderly yet seductively. "How did I chase you?"

"…"

He was playing a game of romance. Wasn't he chasing her?

Both of their faces were so close. Fu Qinglun looked at her. She did not have any makeup on her face at all. Her small face was clean and ravishing, her red lips so moist and it made one want to take a bite.

He tightened his grip around her waist and his deep voice sounded a little hoarse. "Do you want to kiss me?"

His voice was only audible enough for both of them to hear and it was extremely sexy.

Lin Shiyu's hand gripped his shirt. "What?"

Fu Qinglun's gaze landed on her red lips. "I heard that the best way to kiss is when the man carries the woman up. I've lifted you up and you can kiss me if you lower your head."

"…"

How did he have so many tricks up his sleeve?

She really could kiss him if she lowered her head. Lin Shiyu's heart felt like it had been lightly stroked by a feature and ripples formed in her unperturbed heart.

Had he said it intentionally for her to hear?

Was there a deeper meaning behind his words?

Lin Shiyu evaded his gaze. "You have countless admirers now and all of them treat me as their enemy. Just now, that Qiu Cici locked me in the washroom and wanted to take my number."

She had to reveal this to him.

Fu Qinglun remained unflappable and did not even frown. "Shi'shi, do you know why your number is 18?"

"Why?"

"Because we've already known each other for 18 years by the end of this year."

Lin Shiyu startled. 18 years?

It had already been 18 years?

Her luscious lashes quivered and the scene of their first encounter during her childhood surfaced in her mind. It was a very unpleasant memory.

Their very beginning was a mistake.

Till today, she was unable to let it go and forgive him. The trauma of what happened in her childhood still lingered within her.

Fu Qinglun hugged her tightly and his nose nuzzled against her face. He knitted her brows and kissed her red lips.

"Shi'shi, you should know that I've always been waiting for you. I'm waiting for you to forget the pain in the past and give me another chance.

"Actually i can kiss you if I lift my head, but I've become greedy. I want you to reciprocate when I kiss you. I fantasize about the day that you will hold my neck, kiss me and tell me 'Fu Qinglun, I want you to use the remainder of your life to repay what you owe me. Shi'shi, you're always running away. You are a runaway from love."

…

Everyone witnessed the scene of Fu Qinglun and Lin Shiyu dancing together and it was hard not to be touched. The way he kissed her red lips was filled with sincere love and tenderness.

Madam Fu and Fu Rongrong were looking at them and Fu Rongrong broke into tears instantly. She had to let go. She would not pine for Fu Qinglun's love anymore. She had lost to the love that Fu Qinglun harbored towards Lin Shiyu.

He had given Lin Shiyu his entire youth, from when he was a young boy to now, when he was a mature man. All along, he had been holding the number of love and waiting for his one and only lover.

There was no room for anyone else.
