章 15: Where is Chunying?
After the graduation ceremony that took place in the school, the elites decided to take the party back to the house. Waiters passed every guests, serving them while the parents and the two celebrants stood at the entrance welcoming the guests.
Chunlan climbed on the stairs gracefully and turned to address them by hitting her glass with a spoon lightly.
Having their attention, she cleared her throat lightly and said "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming to celebrate this auspicious occasion with us. The Tang family has always produced talents and scholars since ancient times. This has proved no different with the number of accolades my sisters have won during this graduation." She lifted her glass and smiled. "A toast to them, Tang Chunhua and Chunying!"
The guests lifted their glass and murmured words of agreement and congratulations to the twins who stood bashfully.
Chunhua stared at her elder sister intensely. What was she up to? She just couldn't accept this sudden change. A guest came to her, offering to dance with her. She gracefully accepted, forgetting what was on her mind.
Tang Chunlan had just supervising the servants with her mother when a man stepped beside her, offering her a hand with a smile. "Will you dance with me?"
She gasped. "Lin-ge!"
He chuckled. "That's not very ladylike."
"What are you doing here?"
He had a puzzled expression. "Didn't you not invite me? That's what Chunhua told me."
She sighed. Of course! Tang Chunhua had a childhood crush on Wen Honglin which was one of the reasons they didn't get along. Later on, she got pregnant with his baby and they had a forced marriage. She probably knew of his love for Chunlan so she used her as an excuse.
"Chunlan?"
She turned to him. "Okay."
They went to the dance floor, their movements were gliding effortlessly and smoothly. They painted the perfect couple in the room. Soon people started whispering.
"Ah, such a perfect couple!"
"I heard the First Miss of the Tang family was an exquisite beauty. It looks like its true!"
" Yes, she is so compatible with the First Master of the Wen family. I hope they get married soon!"
Unfortunately, Tang Chunlan was frustrated by the glares from her sister. She wished Jihai had come instead but she didn't want to disturb him, knowing he must be working. She felt the hand on her waist tighten as her partner sensed her distraction. "Focus."
"Sorry." She danced until the song ended. After he escorted her to her seat, she said "Why don't you dance with one of the twins to congratulate with them? Look, Chunhua is so lonely..."
She felt his eyes darken before they smoothen out. His intense gaze made her uncomfortable. After some while, he said "Okay." And left.
She breathed out of relief and started searching for Chunying when she noticed she couldn't spot her on the dance floor. When she couldn't find her, she was anxious and ran to the party. She waited until Chunhua had finished dancing and stopped her before she could accept another dance. "Excuse me, Chunhua. Where is your sister, Chunying?"
