As she was talking, the music started playing and the lights dimmed slightly, and Lin Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
The host and his wife danced the first dance first, and then everyone else stepped onto the dance floor. Zhuang Tianyao pulled Lin Jiyue up and stepped onto the dance floor, but how could she concentrate on dancing with him?
Zhuang Tianyao lowered his head and asked her: "Yueyue, what's wrong? Why do I think you are uneasy?"
Lin Jiyue quickly calmed down: "No, I haven't danced for a long time. My steps are unfamiliar. Does it hurt you?"
Zhuang Tianyao smiled softly: "It doesn't matter if you step on me. If someone else invites you later, don't step on them."
Lin Jiyue smiled sheepishly and snuggled into Zhuang Tianyao's arms.
"Are you afraid that I will be rude to others?" Lin Jiyue tried her best to maintain her usual playfulness, fearing that Zhuang Tianyao would notice something unusual.
Zhuang Tianyao suddenly said: "I didn't expect that my eldest brother would suddenly come to this banquet."
Lin Jiyue pretended to be calm: "Really?"
Zhuang Tianyao stared at her with burning eyes: "Yueyue, you are not allowed to fall in love with him again, my eldest brother already has Jing!"
Lin Jiyue pursed her lips and slapped him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhuang Tianyao shouted that he was wronged: "Yueyue, I was just joking. I see that you are not in a high mood, so I just want to make you happy!"
"Hate!"
"But you and eldest brother will meet sooner or later, so it's better to sort out the relationship in advance!"
Lin Jiyue glanced at him sideways and asked half-seriously: "Are you so unsure of yourself? Are you worried that I will still like him?"
Zhuang Tianyao immediately said: "It's not that I don't have confidence, but I don't trust him."
"What's the meaning?"
"His marriage to Jing has always had problems."
Lin Jiyue did not continue to dwell on this issue.
When Zhuang Tianyao was spinning her in his arms, she looked in the direction of Zhuang Licheng, and he was also looking at her. She was startled and immediately looked away.
Four years of independent life abroad have made Lin Jiyue very calm, but at this moment she felt like her heart was in turmoil, and all the memories flashed before her eyes.
After the song ended, Zhuang Tianyao took her back to her seat. Lin Jiyue lowered her head to listen to Zhuang Tianyao's words, and responded to him from time to time, fearing that Zhuang Tianyao would notice something.
"Can I ask Xiaoyue to dance a song?" Zhuang Licheng stood in front of Zhuang Tianyao and Lin Jiyue.
Lin Jiyue knew that when she met Zhuang Licheng today, it would definitely be more than just a greeting. Even if Zhuang Tianyao was reluctant, he was always embarrassed to refuse directly at the banquet, and a lady happened to come over and invite him to dance with her.
Lin Jiyue kept her head down, not daring to look at Zhuang Licheng.
"Yueyue, how are you?" After a long time, Zhuang Licheng finally spoke.
Lin Jiyue raised her head. Zhuang Licheng's eyes were full of questions, and there was also pain. He was thinner and haggard, and even his eyes had lost their luster. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, her eyes were hot, and she took a deep breath.
, and then forced back the tears.
There was no resentment against him in her heart, it was a very complicated feeling, and even she herself couldn't tell what it was.
"I'm fine, how about you?" Lin Jiyue said mechanically.
Zhuang Licheng looked at her sadly, just like the way he looked at her before. Lin Jiyue lowered her head and refused to touch his eyes like this: "I'm not good! Since you left, I have been a walking zombie!"
Lin Jiyue was in great mourning and couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She closed her eyes to prevent them from flowing out. After a long time, she dared to open them again.
If the lights weren't dim now, she really couldn't guarantee that Zhuang Tianyao wouldn't notice.
