CHAPTER 784: CHAPTER 484: PLATINUM AND SUI YI!

"How do you say it in Chinese again... ’No matter where in life, we shall meet’, huh..." Fess mused...

In the meantime, Sui Yi’s gaze was cool as she observed Kaso, who had a self-assured smile.

Her eyes slowly narrowed, and as Sui Yi was about to extend her hand...

Another hand came from the side, landing on Kaso’s...

Sui Yi turned to look at Yi, who was expressionless.

That icy and ruthless temperament was fully exposed at this moment, and Kaso’s eyes twitched as he smiled and guided Yi into the dance floor...

This scene was simply... filled with clichés...

"Heh, although I don’t know why Kaso would take a fancy to that woman, what belongs to whom will remain so... No matter how hard a third party tries, it’s useless," said Miss Wo Er at an inopportune time, prompting weird expressions from many people.

They looked at Sui Yi and Yi with unfathomable expressions.

"Wo Er," Cao Qijun spoke her former best friend’s name for the first time...

Miss Wo Er tensed up.

"For the first time, I think you said something right... but only half right... As for the so-called third person, it also depends on who it is, don’t you think?"

Miss Wo Er, who once attempted to intervene with the Duke, do you have any right to say that?

The unfathomable looks quickly turned into disdain and mockery...

Madam Marton really wanted to strangle her own daughter; damn, this emotional intelligence is too low, how could she have given birth to such a daughter~

In fact, they didn’t think Sui Yi and Yi had a good relationship, because the two hadn’t spoken a word to each other throughout, and even Cao Qijun and the others didn’t think they were close friends...

Only Yi Chilian and some others saw something more.

Sui Yi was considering accepting Kaso because of his popularity and... some other reasons, wanting to relieve Yi of her predicament, but Yi... might have been trying to do the same for her.

Is this what good friends are like?

"Love and kill each other, huh..." Yue Beiqing sighed leisurely and asked Yi Chilian, "Young Master Yi, what do you think?"

Think my ass!

Yi Chilian’s expression remained natural as he stepped forward...

A moment too late.

The Earl of Platinum had already reached Sui Yi.

"Miss Sui, what a pleasure to meet you."

As the esteemed and famous Earl from Europe extended his hand towards Sui Yi, she seemed to see Wayne’s cold and malicious smile not far away...

She arched an eyebrow, reached out her hand, "What a pleasure."

Sui Yi and the Earl of Platinum? Those two completely unrelated people pairing up meant that Sui Yi must have had some unspeakable grievance with Wayne.

Losar and Cao Qijun exchanged a look and followed Sui Yi and the Earl, entering the dance floor with ease.

"Ah, quite an interesting match," Fu Ling remarked from the side, seemingly entertained by the drama...

"Would you like to make it even more interesting?" Old Master extended his hand to Fu Ling.

"I’d prefer someone younger and better in shape... not some old geezer past his prime like you."

"What pot suits that lid... At least I’m a Chinese brand, and you’re a Chinese brand too... The young Chinese here, none of them fancy you, do they~"

"Heh, then let’s see if you can keep up with my dance steps~"

The two pairs who have never stopped bickering entered the dance floor just like that...

Fu Ling glanced over and spotted Miss Wo Er and... Justin...

Justin? That renowned financial genius and heartthrob...

How did he end up pairing with Miss Wo Er, the public bus of the aristocracy!

She felt a bit like she was going blind.

Honestly, Justin and Miss Wo Er did shock a good number of nobles, especially the composed and elegant ladies of high society. They had already been choked up when they saw Saul actively showing kindness to that unknown Chinese girl... but at least that girl had a cool and handsome demeanor, what did Wo Er have?

That ever nonsensical, drawn-out tone of voice thinking she’s cute but in fact, giving everyone goosebumps, thinking everyone’s her mother?

Or that decent-looking but common body that many people have had or simultaneously had?

But this woman was bold and proactive, daring to approach the godly Justin...

Oh~ The hesitation on godly Justin’s face followed by a reluctant and then a coldly polite acceptance...

Miss Wo Er’s face flushed with coyness and triumph...

At this moment, the high society ladies only wanted to collectively roll their eyes and sneer in unison—what a hypocritical bitch!

Soon, as Mario and Cao Ling, Mu Sang and Xiluo, Yi Chilian and Yue Beiqing, Wayne and Sharina, Wei Feng and Nalan, among others, formed pairs and entered the dance floor, a total of twenty couples began dancing in two lines facing each other...

In the ballroom, amidst the tender and graceful melodies, with gentle dance steps, Sui Yi and the Earl of Platinum danced together, allowing the latter to see the young and beautiful Chinese girl’s calm and deep eyes...

As they moved to the rhythm, he said, "Sui Yi, I’ve researched the name. It roughly means casual and composed in Chinese... Yet the character Yi implies you’re full of aggression.."

"Aggression?" Sui Yi replied indifferently without affirming nor denying.

"Was my choice of words too impolite?" The Earl of Platinum, without any hint of apology, spoke carelessly, "Then let’s use the word ’charm’ instead... I’ve always believed that truly outstanding women must have aggressive charm... Clearly, you possess that charm, otherwise how could you have enchanted my nephew to the point of losing his wits~"

His tone carried a hint of playfulness...

Sui Yi looked at him, "Are you sure it’s not that he wants to kill me?"

"Miss Sui seems very direct,"

"Do you want to help him kill me?"

The question was even more direct.

It made the Duke and Duchess pairs around them, as well as Kaso and Yi, the two dance partners, involuntarily glance over...

The dance steps changed, and the positions collectively shifted.

Women on the right, men on the left.

The Earl of Platinum finally experienced the odd style of this mysterious Chinese powerhouse...

"No, in fact, I believe you have sufficient value for cooperation... If you need to be direct, I want those five jade mines of yours, the price we can negotiate,"

This statement made many people’s complexion change subtly.

Out of the twenty pairs, at least ten were paying attention to their conversation.

It was indeed getting straight to the point, these two—don’t they know they’re dancing right now!

Landis, the Young Master, had a cold expression, not giving even a glance from the corner of his eye; Mo Luo was also the same, both maintaining their most haughty posture and focus.

But whether or not it was a deliberate probe... it was hard to say; after all, the Grand Prince of Yale and the Rose Prince didn’t bother to lower their arrogant heads to pay attention to the "minor characters’" conversations below them.

What were five jade mines to them, anyway?

Wayne was somewhat anxious, but he knew in his heart that Sui Yi probably wouldn’t agree... If she did, he would have some trouble... After all, he had taken a side, and if he couldn’t complete the mission...

"There’s a saying in China, ’wait for the highest offer,’"

As the melody changed, all forty people raised their hands to meet the hand of another.

The waltz.

This saying entered the Earl of Platinum’s ears, he gave a faint laugh, a new wrinkle briefly appearing at the corner of his eye... forming a gentle curve..

But he responded, "Then I can only answer your previous question,"

"Yes."

Now the question was, what was that earlier question?

Do you want to help him kill me?

Yes.

This answer sent a shiver down everyone’s spine. Losar was about to say something to the Earl of Platinum during a change in the dance step with his wife...

"It seems we’ve reached an agreement," said Sui Yi, an equally chilling response.

Losar and his wife exchanged a bitter smile.

Indeed, the easily approachable and apparently indifferent Sui Yi... was actually the sharpest and most extreme.

In her eyes, there was nothing she shouldn’t, couldn’t, or wouldn’t dare to do!

Naturally, this also meant that there was no one she shouldn’t, couldn’t, or wouldn’t dare to kill!

If the Earl of Platinum wanted to kill her, she would do the same to him.

The Earl of Platinum knew about Sui Yi’s capabilities early on and couldn’t help but laugh: "Indeed, you see our dance steps are already in sync... This is progress,"

"However, many beginners are like this, often self-important... thinking that after learning a set of dance steps, they can dominate the dance world... little do they know, when the second dance comes... they are clueless~"

The piano’s final note, the melody abruptly became sharper!

The music changed?

What’s happening?

How many of the forty people in the twenty pairs were surprised, yet none lost their manners; instead, they quickly adapted their dance steps...

The only concern was Sui Yi, who had never learned these kinds of steps before... Cao Qijun couldn’t help but worry as she watched...

But she saw that Sui Yi kept up perfectly with the steps, huh? Wasn’t it said that she doesn’t know how to dance, not even the most classic and fundamental waltz which she learned before?

Cao Qijun was certain about this, even though Sui Yi’s learning ability was terrifying and her memory freakish, dancing also required a sense of rhythm, and given Sui Yi’s nature of not liking to touch, even with people of the same sex, her dance wasn’t considered very good, yet... at least she kept up without a single misstep.

The point, of course, was that the Earl of Platinum somehow knew Sui Yi was a dance floor novice!

They came prepared—one thought chilled both husband and wife.

Seeing Sui Yi keep up with the steps, the Earl of Platinum wasn’t annoyed but instead smiled, "I thought Miss Sui would take the opportunity to avoid dancing with me~"

After all, dancing with someone who wanted to kill you wasn’t a pleasant matter.

"No need," Sui Yi responded as always with cold indifference, which to men was extremely annoying.

Even for the immensely proud Earl of Platinum, so he narrowed his eyes, and at the next turn, he clapped hands, shifting to a handshake.

Power surged!

Sui Yi pressed her eyebrows together slightly, calmly used Inner Strength on her palms, and pushed back!

The aura of that Inner Strength was naturally invisible to ordinary people, but many of the guests nearby suddenly felt the air become more oppressive, as if a lot of the oxygen had been sucked away, and the temperature had also dropped.

In the crowd, Ye Zixu’s Qi Mechanism locked onto Wayne!

Not the Earl of Platinum, of course, because he was confident Sui Yi could handle the man, the only one to be dealt with was Wayne, that shameless and scheming Marquis!

Wayne naturally sensed Ye Zixu’s Qi Mechanism and responded with a cold smile, swirling his wine glass and mouthing a phrase.

She’s as good as dead! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
