Chapter 822 - 803: The Weight of the World
"So, let’s begin today’s birthday banquet." Qin Mobai withdrew his gaze, completely indifferent to Xi Siwei being taken away by the police. Maybe he should just let him sit on pins and needles in the lounge for a while, to make him understand how uncomfortable such a taste is.
"For tonight’s first dance, may I invite my beautiful wife?" Qin Mobai was in a really good mood now, having found Lou Xi and dealt with the family’s troublemaker.
Lou Xi held her skirt and bowed slightly.
Qin Mobai took Lou Xi’s hand and led her into the dance floor.
The people originally dancing in the dance floor stepped aside when they saw Qin Mobai leading Lou Xi over, leaving the space for the two people.
But to be honest...
"I don’t really know how to dance." If Lou Xi were to write calligraphy, she could manage, but dancing was a technical skill she truly hadn’t mastered!
Qin Mobai took Lou Xi’s hand, placed it on his shoulder, and then put her other hand on his waist.
Only after this did Qin Mobai place his hand on her waist.
Qin Mobai’s large hand was gentle yet strong, firmly clasping her waist.
"It’s okay, I’ll lead you." Qin Mobai spoke with a voice full of tenderness.
Only when facing Lou Xi did Qin Mobai become a truly fleshed-out person, expressing emotions and displaying an unexpected gentleness.
But Lou Xi wasn’t listening to Qin Mobai at this moment; she was focused on how not to make mistakes while dancing since it was her first time, and amidst so many people watching.
A bit nervous, heart beating somewhat faster.
This was her first public appearance after escaping from Xi Siwei’s clutches; saying she wasn’t nervous would be a lie.
The result... was stepping on Qin Mobai’s foot, more than once...
"Sorry, I didn’t mean to." Lou Xi apologized to Qin Mobai.
"It’s alright, you’ll learn to dance after stepping enough."
Listening to Qin Mobai’s words, Lou Xi couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud, Qin Mobai’s serious joking style indeed made people want to laugh.
"So why don’t we stop dancing..." So many people were watching; if she kept stepping on Qin Mobai’s feet, those feet might become useless.
"We should at least finish this dance, right?" Qin Mobai wouldn’t give up, then he performed an unexpected move for Lou Xi—
He lifted Lou Xi up, letting her feet rest on his shoes!
"Mo Bai!" Lou Xi whispered in surprise. In this way, Lou Xi’s whole weight was on Qin Mobai’s feet, and it would be painful! "I’m heavy!"
Not a single girl would admit she is heavy, yet here was Lou Xi, blurting this out in a moment of panic.
Qin Mobai didn’t actually feel Lou Xi was heavy, but said, "Yes, very heavy."
Is it really okay to be so unconventional?
Is it really okay to bluntly call a girl fat like that?
Qin Mobai, aren’t you afraid of losing Lou Xi?
But just as Lou Xi was about to counter, she heard Qin Mobai say, "The weight of the whole world is on my feet, do you think it’s heavy?"
Lou Xi froze for a moment, then understood what Qin Mobai meant.
He meant that to him, she was his whole world, so naturally it felt heavy.
Lou Xi’s face flushed instantly, knowing this man would occasionally throw out a sweet talk, yet Lou Xi’s girlish heart still couldn’t help but overflow.
