| ← Ch.378 | Ch.380 → |
"Why is dad taking so long? I want to dance with my baby sister now!" Lin Jiangchu whined like a little kid.
"Oh no! I am the one who's going to dance with Xiaolu next, " Lin Mochen informed.
"What? Why would you be the first one to dance with her? " Lin Jiangchu asked."You already spend more time with her on your set while shooting that film compared to us. So, I am going to be the one who's going to dance with her next." he started stubbornly.
"Second brother, do you even know how to dance properly? Do you want to embarrass our sister in front of everybody?" Lin Mochen asked cheekily. Everybody in their family knew that Lin Jiangchu couldn't dance properly.
Lin Jiangchu pouted. He knew that he was a terrible dancer. But so what? He wanted to dance with his baby sister. And knowing that he couldn't dance properly, he even went to dancing classes secretly. No matter how hard she tried, he couldn't dance. But this won't stop him from dancing with his baby sister.
Seeing the defeated look on his second brother's face, Lin Mochen smiled proudly. Something like this would rarely happen in his life when he would get the opportunity to win over his Second brother.
"Fine, I can't dance with her but that doesn't mean that you can...." Lin Jiangchu smirked.
"What do you mean?"
"Because if you dance with her, then all the butterflies who are dying to dance with you will full of jealousy. They would envy her and hate her. Now, you don't want our little sister to be hated because of you, right?" Lin Jiangchu smiled.
"Why would they hate her? She's my sister!" Lin Mochen quickly justified.
"A woman in jealousy is like a destruction machine with a goal. And in your case, there are many women." Lin Jiangchu smirked.
Lin Mochen: ".... ."
"But — "
"Little fool, have you forgotten that incident which happened four years ago?" Lin Jiangchu asked."Have you forgotten what a crazy fan in jealousy is capable of? Do you want our sister to go through the same thing?" he asked.
Lin Mochen: "...."
Even remembering that incident would send chills down his spine. He could never forget that incident. There was this one crazy almost psychotic fan of his that almost killed one of his actresses due to jealousy and possessiveness. Luckily, the actress wasn't alone and nothing happened on that day. But this incident almost had a great impact on his life and he never forgot it.
"You are so cheap and mean, Second brother." Lin Mochen complained."Do you think I will be manipulated like this by you?"
"I am dancing with Xiaolu and you can't stop me, " Lin Mochen stuck his tongue out.
On seeing that his trick didn't work, Lin Jiangchu pouted. Just when Lin Mochen has thoughts that he had won again, he saw Lin Jiangchu giving him a devilish smile."Little fool — "
Lin Mochen knew what this smile meant. Everything his second brother smiled like this to him, it would mean that he would get beaten up. Scared, Lin Mochen quickly took a step back. He didn't want to give in but if his second brother smiled like this then he would get beat up, regardless of the people present. Lin Mochen touched his beautiful face with worry and then he looked at his Elder brother for help
"Elder brother, see.... . second brother is threatening me again!" Lin Mochen complained.
"You!!! Always hiding behind elder brother." Lin Jiangchu sneered.
Lin Junfeng calmly looked at his two brothers who were fighting with each other like little kids."Enough! Both of you.... ." he said stoping their antics.
"Stop acting like kids and stop embarrassing the Lin family. As your punishment, none of you is going to dance with Xiaolu." Lin Junfeng reprimanded.
"WHAT!"
"That's right." Lin Junfeng nodded."As your elder brother, I am going to dance with my baby sister first, " he smirked.
"That's not fair!" Lin Jiangchu and Lin Mochen protested simultaneously.
"Who makes me the eldest one?" Lin Junfeng smiled cheekily.
Just when he had said this, he saw that his father had stopped dancing with his sister."Okay, time to go and dance...." he teased his two sulking brothers.
But before he could take a step towards Lin Xiaolu, he paused with a frown. His eyes narrowed when he saw an unknown man walking towards his sister. The man was handsome and he also looked very familiar but Lin Junfeng couldn't remember properly where he has seen this person.
"Who is he? Do you both know him?" Lin Junfeng asked.
"I have never seen before." Lin Mochen answered narrowing his eyes at the man.
"Hey, we are already in line here to dance with our sister. Who is this unknown baboon who's trying to make a move on my baby sister?" Lin Jiangchu frowned."Wait, let me go and show this baboon his place, " he mumbled and was about to walk when Lin Mochen stopped him.
"That, second brother, wait. I think Xiaolu knows him..." he said when he saw Lin Xiaolu placing her hand in the unknown man's hand.
Lin Xiaolu was dancing with her father when she noticed a person walking towards her and she stopped suddenly. Startled, her father asked her whether she was okay. Li Xiaolu nodded telling her father that everything was fine and she looked at Long Xun in surprise.
"Who is this young man? Do you know him?" Lin Haoming asked when he noticed Long Xun. He felt that this man looked familiar to him but he didn't know who this person was.
"Dad, I know him..." Lin Xiaolu answered.
"Xiaolu, you owe me a dance." Long Xun smiled.
Lin Xiaolu looked at his hand and she placed her hand in his. Seeing that everything was fine and that his daughter knew this person, Lin Haoming excused himself to get a drink for himself.
After seeing that her father has left, Lin Xiaolu smiled and she asked, "Long Xun.... how are you?"
"I don't know, "Long Xun shrugged.
Huh?
Lin Xiaolu was confused. She felt that something was wrong with Long Xun. She looked at him closely and she noticed his bloodshot eyes. He looked as if he had been crying and there was also a smell of strong wine coming from him.
"Long Xun are you drunk?" she asked.
"Hmm.... . a little, " Long Xun nodded honestly.
"Are you alright? Is something bothering you?" she asked."Long Xun, I am your friend and you can share everything with me. I know you have a problem with Zhehan but if you need us, we will be always there for you." she smiled.
"Promise?"
Lin Xiaolu nodded with a smile.
Tears formed in Long Xun's's eyes and his entire body trembled as he tried to suppress his emotions. He was so overwhelmed with grief and guilt. He had done so many bad things to them and yet why are they so good to him?
"Long Xun what happened? Why are you crying?" Lin Xiaolu panicked when she noticed a single drop tear falling from his eyes.
But instead of replying, Long Xun hugged her tightly. Lin Xiaolu was started but she didn't push him away. She caressed his back and she asked, " Long Xun what happened? You can tell me...."
"I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry, " Long Xun cried on her shoulder."In the future, if you can then please forgive me."
Slow music was playing as Long Xun and Lin Xiaolu danced beautifully to that song. A few people noticed Long Xun and they even wondered who was he. Most of the guests were immersed in dancing and enjoying themselves that not many people noticed Long Xun hugging Lin Xiaolu. Only a few people noticed it and they were Zhang Zhehan, the Lin family, Tang Jun, and Yang Mi.
