Chapter 92 The Moon Waltz(1/2)
The few owners of the Yinlong Chamber of Commerce?
Chen Lun didn't know Noah's identity.
He suddenly thought of Rosa whom he met in the black market in the port. Will there be any connection between the two...?
"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Jack, hee."
Under Walsh's introduction, Noah reluctantly put down the tableware and lowered her head to reach out to Chen Lun. His face was shy and there was still cream on the corner of his mouth.
"So too, Mr. Noah."
Chen Lun shook hands politely with him.
Walsh glanced at him from his pocket, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and tiptoed to wipe the cream from Noah's mouth. Noah scratched the back of his head and said thank you embarrassedly.
"Oh--! Happy birthday!"
The guests started to cheer.
Chen Lun looked at him, but Rebecca closed his eyes and made a wish surrounded by everyone, blew out the candle. Then Viscount Pompeii cut the cake and the maids distributed it to the guests to celebrate together.
Not long after, the meal time ended.
"Next is dance time, please enjoy the good time."
After Viscount Pompeii said that, the maids took off the dining table and left a spacious living room. A small band specially invited to sit on the middle steps, and pianists, violins, drummers and other orchestras took their seats.
The crisp piano sounds were played, and the melodious violin followed closely.
At this time, the guests and their dance partners walked into the center of the living room and danced to the music. The young men and women also formed a pair of invitations and invited, joining the dance floor with laughter.
Rebecca dances with her father, Viscount Pompeii.
"Happy birthday Rebecca...I'm old and I'm a little tired after dancing for a few minutes."
Viscount Pompeii joked.
"Thank you, dad, you're still young."
Rebecca giggled.
The viscount took Rebecca away from the dance floor, and Madame Pompeii came up. He let go of Rebecca's hand, took his wife's hand, and then looked around. Many noble young men and other men were ready to move.
"Oh, it seems our daughter is very popular."
Mrs. Pompeii smiled.
"The next time is your young people, go, Rebecca."
Viscount Pompeii patted Rebecca on the shoulder, and the latter nodded shyly.
After the Pompeii and his wife entered the dance floor, other young men flocked to Rebecca and prepared to invite him to dance. However, a large part of them chose to retreat when they saw Alvin.
Another part of the nobles was greeted, and this opportunity to dance with Viscount Pompeii's daughter was given to Alvin.
Under the gaze of everyone, Alvin came to Rebecca first, stroked his chest gracefully, and reached out to support him.
"Miss Rebecca, can you dance with me with your face?"
Rebecca looked at the young man in front of her and knew that he was Alvin, the nephew of Congressman Lawson, but she had no interest and shook her head politely.
"Thank you, I already have a dance partner, sorry Mr. Alvin."
Rebecca turned around and left without looking back, leaving Alvin stiff in place.
"Arvin was rejected?!"
The others were surprised, but they didn't expect Alvin to be so straightforward and rejected by Rebecca.
Then Rebecca walked straight to a strange black-haired young man, lifted up his skirt, and lowered his head shyly.
"Mr. Jack, are you going to have a dance with Rebecca...?"
Her voice was very nervous, and she had never felt nervous before.
Connie looked at the Viscount's daughter in front of her. This was the first time she had seen Rebecca.
It turns out that Miss Rebecca is so beautiful, she is worthy of being a noble lady, elegant and polite.
She looked at Miss Floy next to her again, but found that the other party pursed his lips gently, as if he was not very happy.
"Of course, Miss Rebecca."
Chen Lun held Rebecca's hand.
"Your leg injury is healed, and our tutoring course is almost over. Let's say goodbye tonight's dance as a brief farewell."
When Rebecca heard this, her heart suddenly became tight and an inexplicable loss arose.
All her original joy turned into emptiness and sadness.
"Uh-huh."
Rebecca hummed twice from her little nose.
Chen Lun took her to the dance floor with a smile as if he hadn't seen the sadness on her face.
"Today is your birthday, Miss Rebecca, be happy."
The band's song was changed to the next one, and the rhythm slowed down, leaving behind a piano solo.
Dingdong, Dingdong...
"Even if we are no longer your teacher, we are still friends."
Chen Lun took her hand, guided her to move, and said softly.
"Laughing, Rebecca."
Rebecca was suddenly shocked. This was the first time Mr. Jack called his name by himself.
She looked up and saw the smile on Mr. Jack's face, and couldn't help but be infected by it, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Dingdong!
The piano presses the accent.
Immediately the rhythm slowly accelerated, and the low string accompaniment of the cello began to join.
The dance steps of Rebecca and Chen Lun moved with the tight drum sounds.
For some reason, everyone's eyes on the dance floor were focused on the two, just as they were the natural protagonists. Rebecca's beauty, the tall figure of the black-haired young man, and their respective temperaments were integrated, intertwined with the waltz.
As the dance music was about to end, Chen Lun took out a small gift box and handed it to Rebecca.
"Happy birthday, Rebecca, this is a gift as a teacher."
Rebecca only felt that there was a small box in her hand.
Surprise appeared on her face, and she gently opened it and found that there was a small silver snake earring inside. The earrings were very simple, but the scales on her body were carefully crafted. At the head of the snake, there was also emerald green letter "j".
"Thank you! Mr. Jack, I like it very much..."
Rebecca couldn't help but take out the silver snake earrings and couldn't wait to put them on her ears. A touch of silver added a mysterious charm to her.
"Just like it."
Chen Lun smiled.
This silver snake stud earring was an jewelry made by Connie last night.
He plans to make a set of his own tokens as a proof of identity for the team. Although it is only symbolic, it has a deeper meaning.
For example, the silver snake earrings given to Rebecca are not useful yet, but in the future, it may be used as a means to protect her.
If Chen Lun didn't even have this confidence, he would be a member of the "Time Traveler Army".
After the dance.
The dinner also came to an end.
The Viscount Pompeii and his wife saw off the guests at the door, and Walsh followed Master Noah to Chen Lun.
"Mr. Jack, have a chance to hang out together."
The round Noah was a little shy, but with Walsh's encouragement, he still invited Chen Lun.
"Of course, Mr. Noah."
Chen Lun took off his hat and said softly.
Noah said goodbye to him and left Walsh immediately.
Chen Lun glanced at his back deeply.
It is not difficult to see from the banquet just now that other people did not want to deal with Noah very much. Even though his status was not low, he looked too ugly. The nobles who claimed to be elegant were unwilling to make friends with such people.
Connie and Floy stood there silently.
The whole banquet seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Connie was a little disappointed, and no man came to chat with her. She knew that it was because she was not good-looking enough, she had freckles on her face, had no power, no background, and was just a lower-level girl from the outer city.
She glanced at Miss Floy silently.
