Chapter 777 - 775: Valentine’s Day at the Park
Although nervous, she had prepared for this long ago, and it was also something she had promised Chen Tianlong.
Last time there was an unexpected incident, Wu Mengting was afraid that Chen Tianlong would have some reservations, and now that there is a chance, she must complete it no matter what and never let Chen Tianlong be disappointed again.
For this date, Wu Mengting even spent some time at night searching for knowledge about it and secretly learned a few things, afraid that she wouldn’t understand anything and ruin the occasion.
If Chen Tianlong knew what Wu Mengting was thinking, he would definitely be very embarrassed, realizing that this young woman had done so many things for him without his knowledge.
"Haha, actually Mengting, if you don’t want to, I..."
"I want to, very much..."
Wu Mengting understood what Chen Tianlong meant, but she truly wanted to deepen her relationship with him. At this point, the two of them should take this step forward since Chen Tianlong had even given her a proposal ring; she shouldn’t hesitate.
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly, everything understood without saying a word.
The BMW drove towards a park in South Sea City, the most bustling park in the area, and this time, Chen Tianlong came with a purpose, having already arranged everything.
Before long, the Audi stopped at the entrance of Aegean Sea Park.
"Chen Tianlong, we... why are we here?" Wu Mengting was taken aback, a bit curious.
"You’ll understand once we go in."
Chen Tianlong smiled slyly, with a touch of mystery.
Wu Mengting nodded, and the two entered the park. However, after walking a short distance, they saw a brightly lit area ahead. Clearly, there was an event happening, and the park was filled with pairs of people who looked like couples.
"Chen Tianlong, what’s going on?" Wu Mengting asked in surprise.
"Haha, today is February 14th, Western Valentine’s Day." Chen Tianlong grinned, took Wu Mengting’s hand, and ran towards the lively area.
"I checked, they are hosting a Valentine’s Day ball here tonight, it’s very lively." Chen Tianlong said while walking and laughing.
"Ah? A ball? But I don’t know how to dance!" Hearing this, Wu Mengting got a little nervous. To be honest, she had never danced a ballroom dance before, and now being brought by Chen Tianlong to attend a ball meant they would definitely have to dance.
"Don’t be nervous, I’ll teach you later. Just follow my movements, it’s very easy." Chen Tianlong didn’t mind, thinking these simple steps should be easy for someone as smart as Wu Mengting to learn.
"This...."
Wu Mengting hesitated a bit, on one hand she didn’t know how, on the other hand, she might feel shy in public.
However, before she could react, Chen Tianlong had already pulled her into the ballroom scene, where everyone was already having fun, and there were about a dozen tables set up with a free drink area, likely provided by some wealthy person.
"Come, let’s dance!" Chen Tianlong took Wu Mengting’s hand and stepped into the crowd.
At this time, quite a few people in the crowd noticed the entrance of Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting, turning back to see a handsome couple, immediately casting envious glances.
Meanwhile, two people were seated at one of the tables.
One was, most familiar to Chen Tianlong, Hao Shuai, while the other was a stranger who had significant influence, being the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall’s senior brother, Cheng Hao, who had been plotting without taking action for a long time.
Since Second Brother Shangguan Hong was defeated, the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall had been cautious, but after the martial arts competition, Cheng Hao had basically grasped Chen Tianlong’s situation.
A Yellow Dao Six-star strength and having learned a powerful martial technique.
To tackle Chen Tianlong, Cheng Hao must act, as besides Hall Master Shangguan Ba, he held the strongest power in Pure Yang. However, Shangguan Ba clearly couldn’t take the risk to come to South Sea City, as he was a Profound Dao expert, and could easily be discovered by the Cultivator Association, which would create trouble.
Moreover, Cheng Hao had recently reached Yellow Dao Seven-star level, although exceeding the Cultivator Association’s limits in the Mortal Realm, the presence of many experts in South Sea City lately led to a loosening of punishments, indicating greater leniency now.
Taking advantage of this, Cheng Hao acted promptly, following Hao Shuai’s plans to inflict a severe blow on Chen Tianlong, settling old and new scores together.
"Indeed, just as I predicted, this brat really showed up." Hao Shuai revealed a sinister smile; everything was unfolding according to his plan.
"Haha, very well, we shall follow Young Master Hao’s arrangements." Cheng Hao acknowledged Hao Shuai as a master, knowing that the successful lure of Chen Tianlong owed much to Hao Shuai’s strategies.
"Hmm."
After speaking, Hao Shuai signaled his two bodyguards, who then headed towards the crowd.
In the dance floor.
"Mengting, you’ve learned quickly, almost better than I dance." Chen Tianlong praised.
"No way, if you weren’t holding me, I would have tripped several times." Wu Mengting laughed bitterly, yet truly enjoying the feeling of being held by Chen Tianlong while dancing, for the first time, very delightful.
"Haha, that’s because your waist is slender, so it’s convenient to dance and not easy to lose grip."
"You always have sweet words." Although Wu Mengting said this, she felt happy inside, quite exhilarated.
Thinking of spending the night with Chen Tianlong, a sudden surge of excitement filled her heart.
Just then, a man and a woman bumped into Wu Mengting from behind, almost causing her to fall, and she lightly twisted her heel, evidently suffering a minor injury.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
Wu Mengting quickly squatted down, and Chen Tianlong grew anxious, hurriedly squatted down and carried Wu Mengting out of the dance floor; as for the people who bumped into them, Chen Tianlong ignored them. After all, they were dancing, and accidents could be excused.
Little did he know, this pair of men and women were arranged by Hao Shuai; it was part of the plan.
Chen Tianlong arrived at a table, then placed Wu Mengting down, seated her on a chair, while quickly squatting down, took off her high heels, and gently massaged her ankle.
After expertly handling it, Wu Mengting soon recovered, feeling no pain.
"It should be fine now." Chen Tianlong noticed Wu Mengting’s relaxed expression, knowing there was no issue.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting stood up, walked a few steps, and not feeling any pain, nodded and said, "It’s okay, then... let’s continue!"
"Well... better rest a bit first, let me get you some drinks." Chen Tianlong considered, feeling somewhat thirsty after dancing for a while.
"Alright." Wu Mengting clearly listened well, as whatever Chen Tianlong wanted to do was generally aligned with her preferences, so she nodded understandingly.
Quickly, Chen Tianlong reached the drink area, knowing the two might have important plans later tonight, it was better to avoid alcohol in case Wu Mengting was sensitive to it. So, Chen Tianlong looked around, found some juice, and prepared to get two cups.
"Sir, these are freshly sanitized glasses, how many would you like?" A young man asked with a smiling face.
Chen Tianlong hesitated, initially wanting disposable cups, but seeing the handsome youth holding several exquisite glass cups, he changed his mind.
