Chapter 282: Yu Xi Makes a Fool of Herself

"Security, get them out of here!"

"Yes, get lost! I feel sick just looking at these two right now. Anyone can just walk into the venue these days, apparently."

Yu Xi had wanted to show off in front of everyone, but never imagined she'd end up shooting herself in the foot, getting mocked by Jiang Muye.

Everyone's anger was clearly riled up, and they clamored for the two of them to get out.

Su Lin backed away repeatedly. Her face was already smeared with cake, and there was even cream in her hair. She looked a pathetic mess.

Su Lin bit down on her lower lip and cried out through her tears, "I'm an invited guest!"

"Even an invited guest has to guarantee the safety of everyone present, don't they? Especially with so many Socialites here who haven't married yet—reputation comes first," Jiang Muye said calmly.

Now no one dared to speak up for Su Lin and Yu Xi. The Director had no choice but to have Su Lin leave first.

Su Lin's eyes immediately turned red. She had struggled so hard to earn the right to attend the Luo Fanter Banquet, only to have to flee in disgrace.

This was nothing short of humiliation.

If she really got thrown out, she'd become everyone's favorite joke for years to come.

Especially since the security guards had come to drag people away. Su Lin sobbed and screamed, "I'm not leaving!" She even crouched down on the floor, utterly indifferent to how many people were watching, just wanting to cling to the venue.

However, the security guards were quite ruthless, dragging Su Lin away without mercy.

Su Lin wailed at the top of her lungs, but in the end she couldn't withstand the guards' rough handling and could only be led outside.

Yu Xi, on the other hand, was a bit smarter and didn't struggle. He didn't suffer much, but still slunk off with his tail between his legs.

But how could Jiang Muye let him off so easily?

A moment later, Jiang Muye began using his mind to control Yu Xi's belt.

With a "swoosh," Yu Xi felt the buckle of his belt loosen a bit, and then his waistband came open, and his whole pair of pants felt like it was sliding down.

Yu Xi couldn't believe it. Then he heard the people around him scream, and he realized that the pants he'd been wearing were now down around his ankles.

His legs were bare for all to see, his black briefs fully exposed in front of everyone.

In a panic, Yu Xi tried to pull his pants up, but who would have thought that with a clatter, the briefs themselves somehow became extremely loose and fell straight down.

"He really is a pervert, get out—"

"Call the police, call the police!"

"Disgusting! Boo hoo, my eyes!"

For a time, the area was filled with everyone's screams and contempt.

Some even pulled out their phones and started taking pictures.

The camera flashes clicked away, reflecting off Yu Xi's panicked, mortified face.

In the end, Yu Xi couldn't stand being there anymore. He awkwardly pulled up his pants and fled in disgrace.

This entire scene fell right into Jiang Muye's eyes.

As Leng Ruoli was watching, Jiang Muye instinctively covered her eyes.

How could he let his girlfriend see such an eye-searing scene?

If there was anything to look at, she could only look at him.

Leng Ruoli felt the warmth of Jiang Muye's fingers, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl upward.

After Jiang Muye saw Yu Xi leave, he finally lowered his hand.

"Alright, he ran. He got away fast. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him off so easily," Jiang Muye said, a chill in his eyes.

Hearing Jiang Muye's words, Leng Ruoli burst out laughing.

Seeing her laugh, Jiang Muye was puzzled. "What are you laughing at?"

"I just think you're adorable." Leng Ruoli poked Jiang Muye's cheek with her finger.

Jiang Muye's face felt burning hot. The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, drawing out a curve.

He pulled Leng Ruoli tightly into his arms and, grinning, leaned close to her ear and said, "Don't tempt me. In front of all these people, I can't guarantee you'd be able to keep talking to me safe and sound right now. If anything, the next second I might just drag you off to a little dark room and have my way with you."

Leng Ruoli's little face flushed to the extreme. She gave Jiang Muye a shy glance and whispered, "Restrain yourself."

Jiang Muye shrugged helplessly.

Who wasn't restraining themselves? If he let loose, there was no telling what he'd do to Leng Ruoli.

After Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli chatted quietly for a while, people had already started cleaning up the mess at the venue.

The dance was officially beginning.

"Come on, let's head in," Jiang Muye said, gazing affectionately at Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli nodded shyly.

Jiang Muye took Leng Ruoli's soft hand and formally entered the dance floor.

The music had slowly started. At first, Leng Ruoli was very carefully watching her feet, trying hard to avoid leading Jiang Muye wrong or stepping on his shoes.

But then a warm breath brushed behind her ear.

"Relax, just dance your own way. I'll follow your rhythm," Jiang Muye said, a hint of allure in his voice as he gazed deeply at Leng Ruoli.

This made the overly cautious Leng Ruoli freeze for a moment, but only a few seconds later Jiang Muye was already leading her in a graceful dance.

If in the past it had been Leng Ruoli teaching Jiang Muye how to dance well, now it was more like Jiang Muye was taking the initiative and teaching her how to dance.

Leng Ruoli stared fixedly at Jiang Muye. With her waist encircled by him, under everyone's gaze, they pressed close ambiguously and moved in perfect sync.

A romantic waltz, without a single misstep.

Leng Ruoli was even more amazed to discover that Jiang Muye's rhythm while dancing was perfectly correct, unlike his previous jumbled steps, and he didn't step on her feet either.

"Don't put your attention on those strange places. Just look at me." Jiang Muye kissed Leng Ruoli's fair, lustrous ear.

Leng Ruoli's breathing grew much shallower. She leaned back against Jiang Muye's broad shoulder in bliss, dancing gracefully along with his lead.

She had no burden at all. She just needed to lose herself in it.

Jiang Muye led Leng Ruoli in the waltz. Just as they were about to reach the final step, the lights around them all went dark.

Everyone burst into an uproar.

The group that had been dancing so gracefully had no idea what was going on.

"What's happening? Is there a power outage? It's so dark!"

"I'm scared, what's going on!"

Jiang Muye could feel the delicate body in his arms trembling. His large hand firmly gripped her waist, his brows knitted tightly. Although he had no way of knowing what was happening, he had to protect his girlfriend.

Jiang Muye said softly to Leng Ruoli, "Don't be afraid. I'm right here with you."

Although it was pitch black all around, Leng Ruoli nestled against Jiang Muye's chest. Hearing his magnetic voice and feeling the beating of his heart, she felt that sense of insecurity slowly fading away.

Leng Ruoli leaned against Jiang Muye's chest with complete reliance.

Just as she and Jiang Muye were getting along and getting used to the situation, who would have thought that the darkness around them would suddenly brighten, and a multimedia screen descended.

Then a faint glow appeared on the screen, going from blurry just now to slowly becoming clear.

Everyone gasped.

"What is this!"

"I'm not seeing things, am I? This is juicy!"

"God, why are they playing this…"

Leng Ruoli's little face was also very pale. She clutched Jiang Muye's hand tightly. "Muye, what should we do…"
