Chapter 50: The Grand Banquet
Chapter Fifty: A Grand Banquet （）
When Qing Tian finally finished dressing and appeared before the Man in Black, a faint smile touched his lips. This dress indeed suited her very well.
When he designed this dress, it was custom-made for Qing Tian’s figure. The effect of the previous outfit he designed was far inferior to this dress.
Qing Tian felt embarrassed under the Man in Black’s gaze and asked, “Does it look bad?”
The Man in Black’s lips curved upwards as he slowly said, “Mm, it’s good. This dress suits you very well, and your hairstyle is much better than that Witch’s Hair from before.”
Qing Tian immediately broke out in a sweat. That was clearly a Queen’s Hair, not some Witch’s Hair! Now that she had changed to a Princess’s Hair, she just looked a lot more childish.
This man’s taste is really not that great!
Qing Tian walked towards the Man in Black dismissively. Because her foot was injured, her gait was not very natural. Fortunately, she was wearing Flats, which made it much more comfortable.
She said unhappily, “No matter what, this is someone else’s hard work. Why are you speaking so carelessly! Honestly…”
The Man in Black didn’t seem to mind Qing Tian saying this. He stood up, extended his hand towards Qing Tian, and made an inviting gesture, saying, “May I?”
Qing Tian was stunned and asked in confusion, “What do you want to do?”
However, the Man in Black’s posture when he extended his hand was so familiar, exactly like Ji Xiangyu’s tone when he spoke in the School Music Room last time. Could he be…?
This guess was immediately dismissed. Ji Xiangyu would absolutely not be so rough with her. At least Ji Xiangyu was gentle and considerate. How could he be like this Cold-faced Man in front of her?
Qing Tian still said curiously, “You seem like someone I know!”
The Man in Black paused, then said in a very casual tone, “Oh? How so?”
Qing Tian thought for a moment, but before she could speak, the Man in Black took her hand, took out a mask he had prepared long ago, and put it on her.
His movements were surprisingly gentle. He carefully tucked away the strands of hair that had fallen onto her face and said in a completely different tone from before, “My beautiful Princess, tonight you are mine. No one can dance with you, understand?”
Qing Tian was actually captivated by his words and nodded in cooperation, then followed the Man in Black into the Venue.
The Man in Black’s hand held hers, and that soft touch was so familiar. The seemingly cold Man in Black had such a hot palm. She looked at his profile. Who was he under the mask? Why did he save her at all costs? Why did he bring her to such a high-class Ball?
While she was still troubled by these questions, the Man in Black changed from holding her hand to gently embracing her waist. She looked at the Man in Black in surprise, wanting to struggle, but she couldn’t move.
The Man in Black whispered in her ear, “Tonight, no one will recognize who you are. You are the Queen of tonight!”
Before Qing Tian could fully process the meaning of this sentence, they were already being escorted by four or five people to the entrance of the Banquet Hall.
Qing Tian estimated that the wooden door was at least ten meters high. The guards at the door saw the Man in Black press a remote control, and the Door slowly opened with a beep.
Instantly, all eyes in the Ball turned towards them. Under the gaze of thousands, Qing Tian couldn’t help but lean closer to the Man in Black and whisper, “I regret coming.”
The Man in Black’s eyes smiled from behind his mask, and he said playfully, “It’s too late to regret it.”
He then embraced her and walked towards the center of the Dance Floor. In the few minutes it took them to reach the center of the stage, Qing Tian felt like she was about to be scorched by the powerful voltage from the surrounding area.
She said to the Man in Black with a wry smile, “Your female fans are about to electrocute me to death!”
After hearing this, the Man in Black’s lips curved upwards, and he lowered his head to whisper in her ear, “Tonight, you are the center of attention. Hold your head high and be the Queen of tonight!”
Qing Tian reached out to push his face away. The warm air he exhaled onto her face when he spoke made her very uncomfortable.
Their small playful actions actually drew all sorts of envy from the surrounding Women.
Some even said that the woman behind the mask must have a face full of pox.
However, even with such curses, it still drew admiration from many Women. It was truly enviable to be able to stand beside Young Master Feng. After all, Young Master Feng was famously cold and ruthless. Moreover, this was the Feng Family’s annual Masquerade Ball. Apart from such public occasions, it was difficult to see Young Master Feng’s figure at other times.
Not to mention the handsome face behind Young Master Feng’s mask.
