Chapter 208: Chapter 207-28: The Man She Dreamed of Since She Was Young
The night wind outside the window still blows.
The moon hanging in the sky blushes shyly and hides behind the clouds.
It’s still a long night.
The masquerade ball downstairs continues.
Lou Xinyu follows the man with the golden mask into the dance floor.
The music continues, and the pervasive romantic atmosphere clouds people’s thoughts.
Lou Xinyu wholeheartedly believes this man is Xing Chen.
She takes the initiative during the dance, stepping closer to him, constantly searching for topics to flatter this man.
"Sir, your dancing is really superb!"
"Sir, did you come here alone?"
"Sir, your mask is so exquisite!"
...
She merely wants to please her Brother William, hoping he would pay more attention to her.
But Ran Xiangsi did have a point, Ran Yingqian is brainless with a small chest, while Lou Xinyu is truly brainless with a big chest...
Though this man is somewhat similar in stature to Xing Chen, those captivating peach blossom eyes are completely different from the slender phoenix eyes!
The man isn’t foolish either. Seeing this woman continuously leaning towards him and deliberately saying these flattering words, anyone observant could tell she’s interested in him.
But... his heart still lingers on that enchanting woman, like an elf in the dark night.
Thus, he doesn’t pay much attention to Lou Xinyu.
She has said so much, and he merely responds with polite smiles without speaking.
As the dance ends, the man turns and walks away.
Lou Xinyu panics, not understanding why Brother William hasn’t spoken to her all night.
Seeing him just leave like that, she hurriedly chases after him.
She catches up to a secluded corner and sees the man with the golden mask drinking alone.
Lou Xinyu watches from afar, frowning.
What’s wrong with Brother William? Does he have many worries?
She wants to go up and talk to him, but fears he would be as indifferent as before.
But if she doesn’t go, she might miss out on such a good opportunity today!
Finally, Brother William danced with her today, which is a very rare occasion!
It seems she must seize the moment...
With this thought, Lou Xinyu walks to the drink counter, grabs two glasses of red wine, and slips a small white pill into one of them.
The pill has the effect of invigorating the spirit, quickly kindling desire.
Holding the wine, Lou Xinyu approaches the man, offering the spiked drink.
"Sir, why drink alone? Let me join you." Lou Xinyu leans in, pressing her body against the man’s.
The man’s glass happens to be empty. As he turns, he sees the woman who has been clinging to him just now.
Looks like she really is interested in him...
He readily takes the wine she offers, clinking glasses generously.
One glass down, his body inexplicably heats up.
Estimating the drug’s effect kicking in, Lou Xinyu boldly reaches out, touching the man’s chest.
Such a daring invitation, any grown man should sense it, right?
Just in time, a strong desire surges through his body.
Since this woman offers herself, he naturally won’t refuse.
"Baby, so proactive, you want it?" His tone is so flippant it sends shivers down one’s spine.
If it were Xing Chen, he wouldn’t say such things.
Now, Lou Xinyu feels a bit suspicious, frowning as she scrutinizes the man before her.
The lighting in the secluded place isn’t great, and she can’t see his face clearly.
The voice sounds unfamiliar too.
"Who... are you?" Lou Xinyu finally senses something’s amiss, thinking to ask clearly.
"Does it matter who I am?" The man steps closer, placing his big hand on her chest, forcefully kissing her.
Later, Lou Xinyu thought of resisting slightly but couldn’t fight the man’s strength and half-heartedly gave in.
Didn’t Brother Xining say Brother William would come wearing a golden mask?
As long as she has relations with Brother William, she wouldn’t mind whether he’s married or not...
She wants Brother William, the man she has dreamed of having since childhood.
