Madam Li s Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Romantic Candlelit Dinner

But an afternoon was still too rushed, allowing only for roses to be transported domestically within Country Y, instead of air-freighting the most beautiful champagne roses from the Rose Hometown of E Country.

“… Surprise.” In reality, she was more shocked than surprised.

Li Beijue captured every subtle expression on her face, feeling increasingly that those roses were an eyesore. He tensed his jaw, picked up the knife and fork, neatly cut up the steak on his plate, and handed it to Chi Enen. Then he took the plate in front of Chi Enen and moved it in front of himself, with an elegant, noble demeanor, “Enjoy your meal.”

“Oh.”

Chi Enen found it hard to say that this atmosphere was very romantic and also aesthetic, but she always felt a bit out of it as if she had just woken up and been pulled into such a romantic candlelit dinner.

She had slept all day and was hungry, although she felt it was strange, it did not affect her appetite. She quickly finished off the steak in front of her, picked up the lemonade, and took a sip. Comfortably squinting her eyes, she said, “I’m full now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the man opposite her gracefully put down his knife and fork, wiped the corner of his mouth, stood up, and walked over to her.

Then suddenly, he knelt on one knee before her, stretching out his hand, “Miss, may I have the pleasure of asking you for a dance?”

His features were deep and prominent, naturally creating a sense of mixed-race three-dimensionality. Surrounded by fresh flowers, violins, and a candlelit dinner, his sudden gesture was like a prince kneeling before Cinderella, inviting her to dance.

As if possessed, Chi Enen extended her hand and placed it in the palm of his hand, which abruptly tightened its grip. Only then did she realize what she was doing and said embarrassingly, “You know, I… I can’t dance.”

Originally, Chi Jianguo had required her and Chi Ya to learn the waltz for etiquette lessons together. But Gu Qiaomei, on the pretext of not wanting to hinder her studies, sent only Chi Ya to learn.

Likewise, she never had the qualifications to attend those banquets where such upper-class society dances were required; hence, there was no need to learn.

Last time, at the Military District Celebration Banquet, he insisted on dragging her to dance, and she accidentally bumped into his wound, causing it to tear open.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s enough that I can dance. Chi Enen, you just need to give yourself to me, to trust me completely. After all, no one else will see us. It’s just us here.”

Trust him and give her heart and soul to him wholeheartedly! He would surely protect her!

Chi Enen bit her lower lip and, plucking up her courage, firmly grasped his palm and stood up. She still didn’t forget to emphasize, “I’ll just say it, I really can’t, and if I step on you, remember to tell me to stop.”

“Chatterbox!”

He frowned slightly, and with a strong arm, he pulled her hand, starting to move her to the music’s rhythm.

Chi Enen was extremely nervous at first.

That’s because there weren’t just the two of them on the top floor as he had said, but also many violinists and cellists. If she made a blunder, it would truly be terribly embarrassing.

Since she didn’t know how to dance, the more nervous she was, the more mistakes she made. She couldn’t even count how many times she stepped on Li Beijue’s feet, yet he, as if not feeling it at all, never called a halt.

Later, as she botched her steps and threw caution to the wind, things started to improve. Gradually, she was able to keep up with his pace, following his rhythm with each release and pullback, spinning and dancing…

Her mood started to relax along with the music, and her gaze was firmly captured by the man who was dancing with her—
