<h4>Chapter 1817: Chapter 1810: Wei Xu’s Triumph</h4>
As the ball began, the entire hall was immersed in a sea of joy.
When one song ended, another followed. Amidst the surrounding men, filled with envy, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing walked out of the dance floor and made another formal invitation gesture, directly inviting Lin Qianru to join him once more on the dance floor as they gracefully began to dance with the music.
When the song ended again, Lu Tianxing and Lin Qianru walked from the center of the dance floor towards the sofa.
Lu Tianxing’s face carried a slight smile, while Lin Qianru’s cheeks were slightly flushed due to dancing, a few beads of sweat dotted her nose, and her eyes revealed an undeniable happiness. For Lin Qianru, as long as Lu Tianxing remembered her, it was the happiest thing in her life.
Just as Lu Tianxing and Lin Qianru walked out of the dance floor hand in hand, Wei Xu somehow managed to approach Qiu Yingrong, with an elegant smile on his face, bent slightly like a gentleman, and said to Qiu Yingrong, "Miss Qiu, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dance tonight."
Originally quietly listening to the elegant music, Qiu Yingrong showed a trace of undisguised disgust when she heard this and looked at Wei Xu standing before her.
"Go away, my mom won’t dance with you; my mom only dances with my dad. You better go away, otherwise, I’ll have my dad beat you up. I’m telling you, my dad is really strong."
Before Qiu Yingrong could respond, an angry voice came from the side.
Lingling, who had been ying on the sofa, saw Wei Xu inviting Qiu Yingrong to dance. Instantly, she was like a furious little lioness, ran to Qiu Yingrong, and opened her arms to block him, her little face puffed up with anger as she stared at Wei Xu.
"Miss Qiu, your daughter is really cute."
Wei Xu looked at Lingling and wanted to reach out to touch her head.
"You’re not allowed to touch my head; I don’t like you."
Lingling pped Wei Xu’s hand away, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Lu Tianxing and Lin Qianruing out of the dance floor; her eyes lit up as if finding a supporter, and she sprinted to Lu Tianxing, shouting while running, "Dad, Dad, quickly invite Mom to dance; someone wants to invite Mom to dance, and I don’t want Mom to dance with him. You invite Mom to dance, okay?"
With that said, Lingling directly hugged Lu Tianxing’s leg, with a look that suggested she wouldn’t let go unless he agreed.
At that moment, Wei Xu also saw Lu Tianxing. His expression did not change; instead, a faint sneer shed at the corner of his mouth. He invited Qiu Yingrong instead of Bai Zhiqing just to annoy Lu Tianxing.
Since Lingling calls Lu Tianxing Dad and Qiu Yingrong doesn’t oppose it, Lu Tianxing must have a good rtionship with Qiu Yingrong. Perhaps he’s interested in this beautiful mature woman like Wei Xu is. If Wei Xu sessfully invites Qiu Yingrong, seeing Lu Tianxing’s expression would surely be amusing.
After hearing Lingling’s words, Lu Tianxing nced at Wei Xu, his eyes slightly flickered, gently patted Lingling’s little head, and said, "Lingling, don’t worry. Leave it to Dad. You stay with the pretty aunt first."
"Okay!"
Lingling nodded heavily and said, "I trust Dad won’t let anyone steal Mom away."
Hearing Lingling’s words, Lu Tianxing smiled slightly and walked directly towards Qiu Yingrong.
Watching Lu Tianxing approach her, Qiu Yingrong’s body trembled slightly, and her heart involuntarily started to beat faster like a little deer dancing around, filled with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. She hoped Lu Tianxing would invite her to dance but was nervous about whether to ept or refuse if he did; refusing could embarrass Lu Tianxing, but agreeing might make her fall deeper.
Lu Tianxing slowly walked to Qiu Yingrong, looking at her face, which was clearly tense and anxious yet trying hard to appear calm. A slight smile appeared on his face, and amidst the gaze of onlookers, he made a formal dance invitation gesture to Qiu Yingrong, "This beautifuldy, may I have the honor of inviting you to dance?"
Upon seeing Lu Tianxing’s action, Wei Xu’s sneer grew deeper. In his opinion, Lu Tianxing was courting humiliation; Qiu Yingrong had no rtion with Lu Tianxing. And since Lu Tianxing had already danced with two women, inviting Qiu Yingrong again, given her personality, he’d bet she would refuse Lu Tianxing.
Wei Xu didn’t mind if Qiu Yingrong rejected him; he’d be delighted just to see Lu Tianxing more embarrassed than himself.
Meanwhile, Lu Tianxing seemed to not notice Wei Xu’s sneer and continued smilingly looking at Qiu Yingrong.
Others around, after witnessing this scene, stared curiously, wanting to see whom Qiu Yingrong would choose.
No matter whether Qiu Yingrong had ever been married, one couldn’t deny that she was a strikingly beautiful woman who attracted attention wherever she went. Now, with both Lu Tianxing and Wei Xu simultaneously inviting her to dance, the situation became quite amusing.
Wei Xu, the eldest son of the Wei Family from Coal Province, and though Lu Tianxing’s origins were unclear, given how Qiu Tianrui and Jiang Tianbao respected him and even sent a car to fetch him, Lu Tianxing’s status was evident. Plus, Lingling continually called him Dad. No matter who Qiu Yingrong chose, she’d offend someone; now, it depended on her decision.
Watching the scene unfold, everyone showed expressions of excitement, anticipating the next development.
Qiu Yingrong, looking at Lu Tianxing and Wei Xu before her, took a deep breath, looked between the two, then stood up with a smile that felt as refreshing as a spring breeze, improving everyone’s mood.
After standing, Qiu Yingrong’s gaze settled on Wei Xu.
Upon noticing Qiu Yingrong’s gaze fall on him, Wei Xu’s smile grew even broader, and he nced at Lu Tianxing, as if saying, even with Qiu Yingrong’s daughter calling you Dad, you still lose to me; the woman you fancy is willing to dance with me.
