But Sheng Lijue refused, and he refused without any tact: "No, I won't dance with other women."
After that, she ignored Fang Ying, who looked ugly, and directly used gentlemanly etiquette to invite Shi Qiuqiu in public: "Let's do the opening dance together."
Shi Qiuqiu was shrouded in everyone's gaze and couldn't help but feel hot. However, seeing Fang Ying's jealous and ferocious eyes, she immediately agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll dance with you."
Under the envious gazes of all the women, Sheng Lijue pulled Shi Qiuqiu to the center of the dance floor. He bent down and extended his right hand like a gentleman, showing his elegant aristocratic temperament.
"I might drag you down." Shi Qiuqiu held his hand with some anxiety.
She hadn't danced for many years and was already unfamiliar with it.
"Relax and follow my pace." Sheng Lijue looked at Shi Qiuqiu with an affectionate and focused expression, his eyes deep as if he wanted to suck her in.
A series of envious voices echoed around them, mixed with jealous glances, almost engulfing the two of them, but the person involved didn't seem to notice it.
"Okay." Shi Qiuqiu saw that Sheng Lijue had already said this. If she refused again, she would look very coquettish, so she nodded and agreed, recalling the dance steps in her mind.
As the music played, Sheng Lijue and Shi Qiuqiu danced on the dance floor, like two elegant butterflies, attracting everyone's attention.
"You dance well." Sheng Lijue smiled and praised Shi Qiuqiu for the rare occasion.
"That's natural." Shi Qiuqiu happily accepted his compliment. She thought she was already unfamiliar after not dancing for so long, but she didn't expect that she would remember it by herself as soon as the music started playing.
The music gradually became more enthusiastic, and the pace of the two became faster and faster.
Sheng Lijue danced with Shi Qiuqiu in his arms. Although the expression on his face was very cold, his gaze towards her was as hot as fire.
Shi Qiuqiu could see all the affection in Sheng Lijue's eyes. She was about to be bewitched by Sheng Lijue. Shen'er fell into his tender love and wanted to be with Sheng Lijue at all costs.
When the song ended, everyone applauded.
And Shi Qiuqiu was like Cinderella, returning to reality before midnight.
She told herself, Shi Qiuqiu, Sheng Lijue is not the person you should think about.
After dancing, Sheng Lijue saw that Shi Qiuqiu was panting from exhaustion, so he thoughtfully handed her a glass of juice.
Not far away, Fang Ying looked at the two well-matched people, her heart filled with jealousy. She bit her lip, unable to hide the viciousness in her eyes.
What qualifications does this woman have to stand next to Sheng Lijue? She is just an ugly duckling who actually wants to become a white swan?
Fang Ying cast her gaze to a corner, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Shi Qiuqiu had exhausted her energy and was a little hungry at this time, so she took a dinner plate with a few snacks to fill her stomach.
Sheng Lijue came over, pointed at a piece of exquisite dessert, and said lightly: "I want to eat this piece."
If you want to eat, can you help yourself?
Shi Qiuqiu secretly complained, but she picked it up obediently and fed it to Sheng Lijue.
After all, she is still Sheng Lijue's assistant and has already received her salary, so there is no reason why she should not work hard.
"It's too sweet." Sheng Lijue took a bite and frowned.
Nonsense, how can you call a dessert a dessert if it’s not sweet?
Shi Qiuqiu gave Sheng Lijue a speechless look and didn't want to talk to him anymore. He packed several pieces of dessert and ate them happily.
If Qiao Xiaoqing were here, she would definitely wipe out all the desserts on this plate.
Shi Qiuqiu thought so, and suddenly missed Luoluo and Xiaoqing.
She swallowed the cake in her mouth and was about to ask Sheng Lijue when they would go back.
At this time, a cry of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Everyone looked over and saw a noble lady touching her neck with a look of panic on her face: "My necklace is missing. Someone stole my necklace."
There was a thief at the party!
Everyone immediately checked the valuables on their bodies. Fortunately, no one else had lost anything, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Yuan stood next to the noble lady. He immediately asked: "Mrs. He, please calm down first. Did you forget it somewhere?"
The lady suddenly thought of something and immediately said: "I took off the necklace when I went to the bathroom just now."
She said and quickly walked into the bathroom, but she couldn't find the necklace.
"Someone must have taken it away." She looked angry. She borrowed this necklace from a friend. It was priceless. How could she explain to her friend if she lost it?
"Mrs. He, we will definitely give you an explanation on this matter." Fang Ying also came over at this time and said seriously: "I have called the waiter who was near the bathroom just now, they may have seen something.
"
After that, several waiters came forward, but they all just shook their heads and said they didn't see who took the necklace.
Fang Ying rolled her eyes and continued to ask: "Then you didn't notice who was more suspicious? Or who entered the bathroom after Mrs. He?"
At this time, a waitress raised her hand: "I suddenly remembered that there was a woman who came out immediately after Mrs. He left the bathroom, and she looked very sneaky."
Mrs. He immediately asked: "Who is that person?"
The waitress shook her head: "I don't know who she is, but I can recognize her if I see her again."
"Okay, then you go take a look at the banquet and find this person." Fang Ying said, glancing in the direction of Shi Qiuqiu, with a smile of success on her lips.
The waitress walked around the party and came back: "I saw that woman."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed it right at Shi Qiuqiu.
Everyone's views immediately changed, and there was a lot of discussion.
"She is actually a thief, I really didn't see it..."
"This kind of thing looks like it was raised by a child, and its character is very bad."
Sheng Lijue's face darkened, and he glanced coldly at the group of people talking, who were so frightened that they immediately stopped talking.
Shi Qiuqiu looked at Fang Ying standing there with an arrogant look on her face. What else didn't she understand?
"I didn't steal anything." Shi Qiuqiu said calmly. She wanted to see what Fang Ying had in mind.
Fang Ying seemed to have been prepared for this answer. She continued: "I just asked someone to get the surveillance. You will know it soon."
As he was talking, a waiter came over with a notebook and played a video.
At the door of the bathroom, after the lady came out of the bathroom, Shi Qiuqiu also came out.
"Shi Qiuqiu, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to deny?" Fang Ying said coldly.
Then she stepped forward, snatched the bag from Shi Qiuqiu's hand, quickly opened it, took out a necklace from it, and handed it to Mrs. He: "Mrs. He, please confirm, this
