CHAPTER 450
Following after receiving the gifts, were the loud gasps as they opened their gifts. For the male guests, their gift boxes contained cufflinks with precious little stones embedded in them.
Each man had a different design and manly colours, either dark or bright. For the ladies, a stylish bracelet and necklace were in their gift boxes. On them were also, precious stones of different colours.
Each gift box was given to each guest and carried content that shows the receiver's age and tastes. That was not all that surprised them.
The gifts were not just gifts but very expensive. When one of the guests made research on the price of the brand, her jaws were left hanging downwards.
It cost a lot. Learning about this, the guests felt lucky, shocked, satisfied and grateful. They did not hesitate to voice out their thanks.
After receiving gifts, and eating, it was time for the couple to cut their cake. Two waiters carefully wheeled an eight-tiered cake into the hall. The cake had mainly two colours which were white and gold.
The design on the cake was one made to match winter. It made the whole thing look elegant. After the details of the cake were given, the couple proceed to cut the cake at the spelling of winter.
Then after the floor was opened for dancing. The chairs and table automatically moved to the far ends of the hall, creating a good space like the dance floor.
As the two main people of the day, Li Fengjin took Bai Renxiang's hands in his as they walked to the centre of the hall. All eyes were focused on them.
"Sigh... Jin, I forgot to tell you that I don't know how to dance," Bai Renxiang whispered nervously.
Li Fengjin: 0_0
"Are you being serious right now or you are just joking?" Li Fengjin asked in disbelief.
"I am seriously being serious. I don't know how to dance. Not a single step," she admitted and then bit her lip.
Li Fengjin was tempted to kiss her based on the punishment for her actions but he knew better. This was something important so it was okay to be nervous like she is.
"Sigh... We will be dancing either way," he declared.
"What? I just told you that I don't–"
"Do you trust me?" His question interrupted her.
"Yes, I do. But what does trust have to do with this now?" She questioned.
"Since you trust me, there is nothing to be scared about. Just place your right hand on my left and your hand left on my chest. Do it naturally like you know how to," he instructed her.
Bai Renxiang's brain quickly worked as she did as he told her to. Then, she felt his right-hand slide slowly around her waist, pulling her closer like he dis on the altar.
Just then the orchestra began to play slow waltzing music for them to start dancing to.
"Now, move your right forward. Slowly and naturally," came another of his instructions.
"Right foot forward... Slowly and naturally," Bai Renxiang repeated and did it while looking down. She saw that Li Fengjin's left foot move backwards too.
"Don't look down. Eyes on me, okay?" He quickly corrected.
"I'm at. Eyes on you."
"Good. Now move your left foot to the same line... Take your right to it... Next, left foot back... Do the same with your right and joined... Now slowly turn your body sideways."
Li Fengjin continued teaching her what to do. It was until he saw that she started syncing her movement with his, did he stop saying anything.
"Gasp. Jin, I got it. I got it... I can dance," Bai Renxiang said excitedly but she remember to keep her voice low.
Li Fengjin chuckled at her childish act of learning how to dance. She looked so cute that he could not help but rub his nose against hers.
"I can see it, my life. You can dance," he said with an amused voice.
"T-Thank you," she said with a faint blush.
"You are welcome. But you see that it was not so hard after all."
"It was not hard because you were my teacher. You made it easy for me to grasp it quickly."
"Hmm. I accept that but it is also your smartness that made you learn it quickly. So a pat on your shoulder for that."
As the couple continued to interact, they left the guests to watch their intimacy. Some of the guests were already smiling even without them knowing just by watching them under the spotlight.
Soon enough, others joined them. Starting from the couple's parents and friends. Amongst them was Mrs Yang. Since she had no partner, she danced with Bai Xiaojin while the other kids matched in pairs of twos and danced, mimicking the steps of the adults.
Meanwhile, Old man Jiang felt tired and wanted to sit down.
"Aiya! My dear, Meilin. This old man's eyes are beginning to feel dizzy and my weak bones are tired," he said.
Jiang Meilin chuckled and shook her head at her father. "You just stop going to parties that's all. Your strong bones can't be weak... Don't make me laugh, dad."
"Alright, whatever you say. You are just like your mother. Sigh... She would have been happy to see her little granddaughter happily wedded," he sighed.
"She would... Okay. Let's take you to sit down."
Jiang Meilin and Old man Jiang left the dance floor first. She found the closet-free table and helped him sit. She then went to get him a small plate of snacks and wine to busy himself with before sitting with him.
As they chatted about the slightest things, they did not notice the man approaching them.
"Ahem! I'm sorry to intrude, Elder master Jiang and Ms Jiang," they called this attention.
Jiang Meilin's eyes widened seeing who it was.
"Mei, would you give me the honours of taking you to the dance floor?"
