Chapter 279: We'll Sleep in Separate Rooms

Leng Ruoli pulled Jiang Muye into her arms and soothed him, "How could that be? The first time I learned to dance, I got dizzy just doing a spin. I was way worse than you. You're super amazing, you know. In my heart, you're invincible!"

Jiang Muye was pressed against her magnificent hills.

Smelling the milky fragrance and hearing Leng Ruoli's gentle consolation, he felt wonderful.

He was secretly delighted. Who wouldn't want kisses and hugs from their own girlfriend?

For several days in a row, Jiang Muye played the actor several times, devouring Leng Ruoli, this little white rabbit, whole.

Leng Ruoli had no idea that Jiang Muye had now become an expert, a first-class dancer.

Right up until the night before the Luo Fanter Banquet, Jiang Muye still pretended to be barely keeping up, just able to dance a full routine with Leng Ruoli.

After practice, Jiang Muye wanted to go rest in the villa with Leng Ruoli.

But Leng Ruoli pressed both hands against Jiang Muye's chest, her little face flushed red as she said, "I need to conserve my energy for tomorrow, so let's sleep separately tonight."

"Huh?" Jiang Muye was very surprised. "Isn't it nighttime?"

"What if something happens? We're in the honeymoon phase right now. If things get out of hand, I…" Leng Ruoli found it hard to say.

Jiang Muye thought about how important tomorrow's Luo Fanter Banquet really was, so he agreed to Leng Ruoli's request.

Sigh, another sleepless night.

The next night fell.

Leng Ruoli was already waiting and getting ready in the VIP lounge. A maid was helping Leng Ruoli cinch her waist. The court-style long gown had a very large skirt, so a slim waist was needed to look especially good.

Leng Ruoli already had a tiny waist, and with the cinching, her chest looked even more prominent. She was curvy in all the right places.

The maid was stunned, and couldn't help praising Leng Ruoli, "Miss, you're truly too beautiful."

Leng Ruoli looked at her bright and radiant self in the mirror, and couldn't help but look forward to the scene of Jiang Muye seeing her.

Would he like how she was dressed today?

Just as Leng Ruoli was about to take a selfie to send to Jiang Muye, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Elder Cousin, long time no see." A sharp voice rang out.

Through the full-length mirror, Leng Ruoli saw a carefully dressed girl walk in from outside.

Her light golden long hair was done up, revealing a slender white neck. She carried her long gown as she walked in, her high heels going click-clack with a very arrogant air.

When Leng Ruoli saw her, her expression sank.

She deliberately ignored the other's arrogant expression and paid her no attention.

This girl was her Younger Cousin, Su Lin.

Ever since they were young, she loved to compete with Leng Ruoli. Whatever Leng Ruoli had, Su Lin wanted to snatch.

Seeing Leng Ruoli say nothing, Su Lin raised her chin and said with a chuckle, "What's wrong? Your male companion still hasn't shown up? Did he run away at the last minute, thinking he's too crude for high society?"

Leng Ruoli's gaze swept over Su Lin, and she said icily, "Anyone might run, but he wouldn't."

"Pfft, you really are confident. But I never imagined Luo Fanter's taste would be so poor, actually inviting you. Truly worse with each passing year." Su Lin covered her mouth and sneered mockingly.

Leng Ruoli responded easily, "I also think Luo Fanter's taste is nothing special, actually inviting in someone I've beaten."

"Who's been beaten by you!" Su Lin said angrily.

"You," Leng Ruoli said, squinting at Su Lin. "When have you ever won against me?"

"This time I'll beat you! I'll be the most beautiful socialite on the dance floor, completely crushing you!" Su Lin spat contemptuously at Leng Ruoli.

Compared to her ferocity, Leng Ruoli was far too elegant.

Leng Ruoli wasn't a match for Su Lin at all when it came to fighting over anything. She had never once treated Su Lin as a rival. She even found Su Lin's little tricks from before to be quite childish.

This banquet—as long as she and Jiang Muye enjoyed it together, that was enough. She didn't want to compete for anything else.

After glaring at Leng Ruoli, Su Lin lifted her long skirt and left.

When the door closed, a faint, dark light flickered in her eyes.

At the banquet, glasses clinked.

Most of the invited VIP guests were already present.

There were less than ten minutes until the banquet began.

However, after Jiang Muye walked the red carpet and arrived at the main hall, he didn't see that conspicuous figure.

His brows knitted tightly, and he called Leng Ruoli's phone.

"Hello, the number you have dialed is not answering…"

After hearing the busy tone on the other end, Jiang Muye was very puzzled.

Even if she was attending a banquet, there was no way she wouldn't pick up his call.

Leng Ruoli had rarely ever had situations like this before.

Jiang Muye called Leng Ruoli several more times, and it kept saying no one was answering.

His heartbeat quickened. At this moment, he realized the seriousness of the situation.

Had something happened to Leng Ruoli?!

Jiang Muye immediately entered the System Shop and used two hundred Grit Points to exchange for a one-day Tracking Function.

【Congratulations, Host. You have installed the Tracking Function. It is now ready for use.】The System finished installing and reminded Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye immediately clicked to activate it. After he input Leng Ruoli's name with his mind, an address soon appeared in Jiang Muye's head.

Found it!

Leng Ruoli, you'd better not be in any trouble. You have to be safe!

Jiang Muye ran out. Following the address, he soon arrived at the door of a VIP waiting room.

"Are you in here? Leng Ruoli!" Jiang Muye shouted loudly.

Then he pounded hard on the door.

"I'm here!" Leng Ruoli's anxious voice came from inside. "I'm locked in. I can't get out at all!"

Jiang Muye's eyes lit up.

After confirming that Leng Ruoli was safe for now, Jiang Muye instinctively went to pick the lock.

It had obviously been locked from the outside. The door wouldn't open at all.

"It won't open!" Jiang Muye gritted his teeth and rammed it again.

This door had been specially treated. It wouldn't budge at all. Other than hurting his own body, it was completely useless.

Who was this shameless, actually using a trick like this!

"What am I supposed to do? If I don't show up before the banquet starts, I'll be disqualified…" Leng Ruoli's aggrieved, tearful voice came through.

Considering she had worked so hard for so long just to get to the Luo Fanter Banquet.

Being able to attend Luo Fanter was equivalent to doubling one's status, and also equivalent to the glory of the entire family. So every socialite treasured this chance to participate.

If she was absent, she would definitely be notorious, and would also bring shame to the Leng Corporation.

Jiang Muye's eyes darkened, and his brain was spinning madly.

…

At the brilliantly glowing Luo Fanter Banquet, the Director was already checking off the names of the young ladies.

After all, they would all be going on stage together in a bit.

However, after the count, the Director was very surprised. "Miss Leng Ruoli still hasn't arrived?"

Su Lin flicked her hair and said to the Director with a smile, "My cousin said she wasn't feeling well, so she's not coming."
