Chapter 369: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (52)
A hint of confusion flashed through Shen Mubai’s eyes.
She then heard the other party let out a low chuckle.
“I’ve been watching you for quite a while from over there. I hope you won’t turn me down.”
Just as Shen Mubai was about to say something, the person had already extended his hand.
“It’s just one dance.”
The eyes hidden behind the mask stared intently at her.
Shen Mubai felt an inexplicable unease, but since many people around them were already looking over, she hesitated for a moment before placing her hand on his.
After all, it was just one dance, and it would be over soon.
He grasped her hand tightly, then laughed softly.
There were already many people dancing on the dance floor, and the slow music had changed to another style, carrying a touch of decadence and mystery, adding a sense of intrigue and excitement to the ball.
With a strong arm, he wrapped it around Shen Mubai’s waist and looked down at her, his warm breath brushing against her face, his eyes filled with a subtle, ambiguous emotion.
“Relax; I won’t do anything to you.”
Shen Mubai was beginning to regret her decision, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow his lead in the dance.
He chuckled softly, “You’re so shy.”
Shen Mubai felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. She was sure something was off about him, but thankfully, even though his words were somewhat flirtatious, he hadn’t tried anything inappropriate.
She could only silently pray for the dance to end quickly.
His dark, intense gaze seemed to almost physically fall upon her.
Shen Mubai couldn’t help but break eye contact, lowering her gaze slightly.
A low chuckle sounded, like a nerve being struck, and that strange feeling rushed back again.
It wasn’t until the surrounding sounds grew distant and the lights dimmed further that Shen Mubai raised her head, alert.
She realized he had led her to a corner of the ballroom without her noticing. His eyes sparkled with an enigmatic light, and the smile on his lips sent shivers down her spine.
Shen Mubai finally realized something was wrong. She furrowed her brows slightly and tried to break free, but to her surprise, his strength was terrifyingly great.
He effortlessly restrained her movements and pushed her roughly against the wall.
Shen Mubai was pinned against the wall, and his body loomed over her like a shadow. His warm breath was on her face, and his low laughter echoed.
“Where do you think you’re going, my princess?”
The word “pervert” flashed through Shen Mubai’s mind.
She glared at the guy in front of her and said, “What are you trying to do?”
She had originally planned to let him lower his guard and then seize the opportunity to escape, but it seemed he had anticipated her thoughts. He easily blocked her movements with his knee and leaned in even closer.
In the end, her body was no match for his, and it was as if he was trained, predicting her every move. She was left panting and pressed tightly against the wall.
He pinched her chin with his slender fingers, his eyes filled with deep infatuation and admiration.
His warm breath brushed against her face, his voice low and husky.
“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.”
Shen Mubai’s first thought was that this guy had been targeting her for a while. The thought of him secretly watching her at school sent a chill down her spine. Her eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.
“Pervert.”
A soft laugh sounded, and instead of being angry, he laughed, his tone indulgent and obsessed.
“I just like you so much that I can’t control myself.”
