Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1253 - 1231: I Never Knew You Were So Popular
He actually invited her to dance?
Chu Xinyue felt something stuck in her throat and couldn’t speak.
After a while, she looked at the soldiers waiting in line to dance with her, took a deep breath, and nodded.
Then she remembered he couldn’t see, so she quickly said "Hmm."
He smoothly led her into the dance floor, directly giving a group of soldiers the answer through his actions:
He was her dance partner.
The soldiers saw that the beautiful pianist had become the exclusive dance partner of the prince and awkwardly dispersed.
The music of the band’s cello flowed gracefully.
The slow and elegant waltz in G major began to play.
Chu Xinyue’s hand was led to the back of his firm, strong waist, and he leaned down to her ear and teased:
"I never knew you were so popular."
She felt as if she had been burned by a spark and nearly pushed him away!
He must have already guessed who she was!
Suddenly, her face turned red, her ears flushed, and her legs rooted to the spot.
"Sneaking into the army, playing the piano for so many men without being nervous, and now you’re nervous?"
His grip suddenly tightened, holding her waist securely like a clamp, still close to her ear, continuing to sneer.
"...I just wanted to come out and see the outside..."
"What’s not nice outside that you had to come to the army? Are you looking to see the outside or the young men?"
His voice lowered a few degrees, adding a hint of irritation to his sarcasm.
She was speechless and didn’t feel like arguing with him.
Silent?
She actually fell silent?
What does this mean, guilty conscience?
His breathing paused, his expression instantly turned gloomy, he leaned forward with his tall body and pushed the hand holding her slender waist forward, pressing her into his embrace.
She didn’t notice his unusual behavior, only feeling a bit out of breath, instinctively raised her hand to keep some distance: "Do you know how to dance?"
He didn’t speak, but with the perfect timing of the music, as if defiantly, led her through a thirty-degree lift, suddenly tightening his grip on her waist, his sturdy body pressed tightly against hers, leaning sideways.
She followed his force and movement, bent at an angle by him, and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
Before she could react, he already straightened her body again.
He turned around, resuming the dance steps.
She gently gasped for breath.
Clearly, she underestimated the man before her.
He was very proficient in the waltz dance steps.
Earlier, it was just a slight warning and demonstration.
A man, no matter his age, is indeed childish, not allowing anyone to say he is not good.
She couldn’t help but tease him: "Sorry, I thought you only knew how to do student radio gymnastics."
His expression tightened momentarily, retorting: "I also didn’t know you played the piano so well."
Since marrying into the Ya Family, she had never played piano, even when he wasn’t home for long periods; he knew because there was no piano in her room.
The special talent of the person closest to him was unknown to him, even discovering it later than outsiders.
He felt inexplicably displeased.
Under his lead, she indulged in the waltz rhythm in the dance pool.
Learning ballroom dance is a requisite skill for every young lady in the country.
She had poor health as a child; dancing was intense exercise, so her parents didn’t let her learn.
But dance is every little girl’s dream, and she was no exception.
She often watched her older sister Chu Xinyu practice in secret, learning a few simple dance steps.
Unexpectedly, he danced more skillfully and smoothly than she did, almost at a teacher-level proficiency.
...
Off the dance floor.
The Lieutenant General watched the prince and the beautiful pianist dancing quite immersed, his face also revealing a relieved smile.
His smile halted, he beckoned with a hand.
An adjutant hurriedly approached, putting his ear to the commander’s mouth.
The Lieutenant General gave a few instructions, and the adjutant immediately got the point, nodded repeatedly, and quickly set off to make arrangements.
...
Spinning, swaying, tilting, turning.
Accompanied by the elegant and splendid waltz music, she felt like a butterfly spreading its wings.
For the first time, she didn’t feel tired, nor did she care about her body.
Hearing the breath of the man in her arms become somewhat urgent, Ya Chen gradually slowed his steps in the dance floor.
She knew he didn’t want to dance anymore, yet he still had no intent to leave the dance floor.
Rarely indulging herself once, she reluctantly held his waist tightly: "Let’s finish this dance."
He furrowed his brows; in the public eye, he couldn’t just pick her up, so he had to continue dancing another round under her persistent pleading.
As the round ended, he felt the body in his arms slide down a few centimeters, realizing her physical strength was insufficient, tightened his grip around her waist, and frowned: "How are you?"
"I-I’m fine." She forced a smile.
This was her first time formally dancing in life, so exhilaratingly free; she was truly happy.
Before finishing her words, a wave of dizziness hit her.
He felt her body uncontrollably sliding downward, his brows tensed and twitching, his hand smoothly reaching her waist, holding her up.
The music stopped abruptly, and the entire room fell into silence!
Other dancers also stopped one after another!
The Lieutenant General was startled; what happened to the young lady? Her face seemed unsightly?
Seeing the prince actively lifting her up, it seemed perfect!
He quickly approached the dance floor, guiding the way, whispering: "Your Highness, I have prepared a room for you next door."
Ya Chen didn’t have time to think about the significance of the Lieutenant General arranging the room, embracing the person in his arms as the Lieutenant General led them toward the door.
After all, it wasn’t his own castle, he wasn’t as familiar; even with footsteps guiding him, he still misstepped twice.
The Lieutenant General worried about his eyesight inconvenience and wanted to take the girl in his arms: "Your Highness, shall I..."
His displeased expression clearly refused.
The Lieutenant General didn’t say any more, letting him personally hold the girl, leading him cautiously into the prepared room.
The room was evidently meticulously arranged, quiet, elegant, clean.
Following the Lieutenant General’s cue, he placed the person gently on the soft bed.
A shadow rushed in from the entrance, it was Xiaotao.
Xiaotao saw the second miss fainting in the prince’s arms in the dance pool, was startled, and quickly followed inside!
Seeing Xiaotao arriving, Ya Chen instantly relaxed a bit; Xiaotao would definitely carry medicine with her, immediately instructing the Lieutenant General: "You leave."
The Lieutenant General dared not ask more, and left first.
Xiaotao quickly took out the medicine, poured a glass of water by the water dispenser, and fed it to Chu Xinyue.
Chu Xinyue slowly awakened from fainting, opened her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered once, realized who was in front of her, and immediately sat up.
Xiaotao rushed over: "Second Miss, you scared me, are you alright?"
Perhaps playing the piano for the whole night, coupled with unrestrained half-day dancing, along with the night’s tension and excitement nearly caused an episode.
She shook her head: "I’m fine."
Ya Chen heard her say she was fine, yet his expression still hadn’t improved: "Xiaotao, go out."
Xiaotao saw his stern expression, saw that the second miss was okay, obediently left.
Chu Xinyue couldn’t stop her.
