"Ha ha... Since ancient times, what man has ever been moved by a woman? Moreover, this beauty scheme knows no nationality; every man falls for it. My husband was completely captivated by me on stage!" Mina, almost forty years old, still possessed a passionate young heart, looking at Wushuang as if she were gazing at her younger self.
In the dance studio, after chatting and laughing, Mina performed a piece titled Phoenix Seeking Phoenix for her...
Japan.
After that night of intimacy between Yamamoto Ryuichi and Misa, things became awkward. Every time they met, they acted very formal, feeling like strangers who had just met, which made the atmosphere in the room unusually tense.
Long Yi refrained from drinking all night; he was worried he might do something inappropriate while intoxicated. When night fell, he either stayed in his study or went to bed early to avoid Misa.
Misa wasn't doing much better either. That night, she had promised herself not to care or hold grudges, but every time Long Yi treated her coldly, her heart felt heavy, often leading her to cry under the covers at night.
How did their relationship end up like this? Wasn't everything fine before?
To avoid further awkwardness, Long Yi decided to move out. Upon hearing this news, Misa locked herself in her room for an entire day and night without coming out or eating.
"Misa, can we talk?" Long Yi felt they needed to resolve things; this kind of relationship was painful for both of them.
After waiting outside for a long time, the door finally opened. Misa, with tear-streaked cheeks, stood before him as they silently locked eyes.
"Misa, I'm sorry. That night I was a jerk. No matter what my reasons were for violating you, it was my fault!" Inside the room, Long Yi sat on the sofa while Misa lay half-reclined on the bed.
"I already said it was my choice; I don't blame you at all. You don't have to treat me like this!" Misa's face was pale; she had lost quite a bit of weight over this matter.
Love can make people foolish, blind, and unable to see the truth before them!
"Misa, the person I love will always be Wushuang. Even if we can never be together, in my heart, there will always be only her!" He clearly stated his position. Although his words were hurtful, he had to say them.
Misa remained silent; how could she respond to such words?
A servant knocked on the door and brought in food for Long Yi. She had been hungry all day, and if she didn't eat soon, she would become ill from starvation.
She remembered that when he had just woken up, he promised Mr. Yamamoto that he would take care of her. Although she wasn't sure what Mr. Yamamoto meant by that, she would still fulfill her promise to take good care of her for a lifetime. Even if she got married in the future, as long as she said a word, he would be the first to step forward.
"Misa, eat something. I won't leave the Yamamoto Family, so don't worry!" He brought a bite of food to her mouth. Misa looked at him for a long time before finally opening her mouth to eat.
"Long Yi, I understand your feelings. Let's pretend that what happened that night never occurred. From now on, you will still be my brother, and nothing will change, okay?" After swallowing the food, Misa said anxiously.
She was afraid he would leave. Just being able to see him every day like this was enough for her, even if they weren't in a romantic relationship.
Long Yi nodded and continued to feed her bite by bite. The two of them in the room remained silent; simply being together in quiet companionship was their happiness.
Wushuang was secretly learning the Phoenix Dance of the World without Rafas knowing, and everything was going smoothly. Even in the castle, Rafas wouldn't disturb their practice; occasionally, Yan Wushuang would deliberately dance in a peacock style in the bedroom, making him truly believe she was learning the Peacock Dance.
"Lefas, do I look good dancing?" She had found Rafas early and pulled him into the bedroom, making him sit on the bed to watch her perform the newly learned Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.
Yan Wushuang was naturally talented in dance; her skills were among the best during Great Yan. Her beautiful dancing had captivated many men at the national banquet, and from that moment on, Crown Prince Jin had his eyes set on her, vowing to have her for himself.
Rafas watched as she twisted her exquisite figure and performed captivating movements. Although these moves were quite ordinary, to him they felt like blatant seduction!
"Baby, come here and let me hold you!" Something within Rafas had already risen after her dance; his little fairy was simply too mischievous. No matter what she did, it felt like a powerful aphrodisiac to him.
Wushuang didn't notice his change and happily ran up to him, eagerly waiting for his praise. It wasn't until he lifted her onto his thigh that she vaguely felt something was off.
“Lefas, you…” Wushuang awkwardly wrapped her arms around his neck, turning her flushed face away to avoid him.
“My darling, your dance was simply too beautiful; I couldn't help but react. You can't blame me; it's all because of you. If you hadn't called me back to watch you dance, would I have acted this way? So, you have to take responsibility for me!” He reasoned as he held her tightly, expecting her to comply.
Yan Wushuang stared at him with wide eyes, clearly aware that it was his own lustful behavior, yet he tried to shift the blame onto her. How shameless… how shameless…
Days passed, and with only a week left until Monica's anniversary celebration, Mina watched Wushuang's performance with satisfaction. She never expected Wushuang to be so talented; with just a little guidance, she could master it effortlessly. If one were to say she had no dance experience at all, it would be hard to believe. However, Wushuang claimed she had lost her memory two months ago, so she couldn't recall anything at all. Perhaps she really could dance before.
“Wushuang, have you convinced Mike to help you?” Mina suddenly asked her.
“I haven't yet; I just haven't found the right opportunity to talk to him. I've been busy practicing, and I almost forgot about it until you mentioned it,” she replied, realizing it now thanks to her teacher's reminder.
“You really need to think this through. If he doesn't help you, how will you go out at night? How will you get the chance to perform at the banquet? Besides, I think your entrance must be spectacular; he needs to prepare props for you at the venue!” Mina analyzed wisely, explaining that many things required someone influential to arrange.
“Is that so? Alright, I'll talk to him tomorrow. No matter what, I will make him agree! If he refuses, I'll ask Sharl for help and get my good sister involved!” She couldn't let all her hard work over the past half month go to waste; she had to change Lefas's opinion of her.
The next day, after Rafas returned from the company and went to his study to handle some documents, Mike was not around in the castle. This gave Yan Wushuang an opportunity.
Seeing that he seemed to have returned alone to his room, she immediately followed him and gently knocked on his door: “Mike, are you there? I urgently need your help!”
Mike opened the door and was surprised to see Miss Wushuang. However, if he let her into his room and the master found out, there might be misunderstandings that would be hard to explain.
“Sorry, Miss Wushuang, can you just speak at the door? I'm afraid if the master knows you've come to my room…” With this said, everyone understood what he meant since there were cameras everywhere in the castle; it could easily lead to misunderstandings.
"Alright, to make a long story short, isn't next week Monica's anniversary? So I want you to help me arrange for me to perform a dance that day, okay? Please, I want to give Lefas a surprise!" She clasped her hands together, looking at him with pleading eyes.
"This... this might not be a good idea. The Master probably wouldn't want you to appear in front of everyone, Miss Wushuang. If you want to dance, just do it at home for the Master. Why go through the trouble of dancing at the banquet? What if something happens to you? I wouldn't know how to explain it to the Master!" Mike knew that the Master kept a close watch on Miss Wushuang and didn't like her being seen outside; this plan was definitely not going to work.
"Mike, if you don't agree to my request, I can't guarantee that I won't sneak out that night. If I want to go out, even if I have to dig a tunnel, I'll find a way to slip out. When that happens, let's see how you explain it to Lefas if something happens to me outside!" Yan Wushuang put her hands on her hips, looking at him threateningly.
Mike sighed, realizing he was intimidated by her: "Miss Wushuang, I agree to your request, but you must follow my arrangements that day. You absolutely cannot wander around. If anything happens to you, not just me but all the servants in this castle will be held responsible. Do you understand?"
"I understand. Don't worry, just arrange for more people to protect me that day. I promise I won't wander off and will obediently follow your arrangements. After the dance, I'll leave and come back!" Hearing his agreement made Yan Wushuang overjoyed.
Mike nodded, praying that the Master would truly be happy with her surprise. However, based on his understanding of the Master, as long as Miss Wushuang was safe, there shouldn't be any major issues!
Yan Wushuang happily returned to her bedroom just as Rafas walked in. Seeing her so cheerful made him wonder if she had learned a new dance so quickly. "Darling, what has made you smile so happily?" Rafas instinctively stepped forward to embrace her, and Yan Wushuang naturally nestled into his arms.
"I'm not telling you; you'll find out in a few days. I want you to see me in a new light!" She had already begun envisioning the scene of that day in her mind and smiled even wider at the thought of how he would react when he saw her perform.
Seeing her so excitedly smiling made Rafas wonder if she had learned some astonishing piece. Well then, he would wait and see how she would make him see her differently! He playfully pinched her cute little nose and couldn't hide his smile as he said, "Then I'll wait and see how you impress me!"
The temperature in the bedroom rose again as they pressed closely together, intertwined with each other...
Mina personally ordered a wide-sleeved flowing dress for her to wear that day, bringing out all her previous treasures. Wushuang's talent for dance amazed her; if possible, she truly hoped that Wushuang could inherit her dreams and dance on the world's most prominent stage. She thought that as long as Rafas nodded in approval, Wushuang would instantly become the focus of everyone's attention as the Queen!
