Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 1514: Chapter 570: Punishing Qi Siyuan and Xu Nuo

"Why would I lie to you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nuo let out a sigh of relief, simultaneously giving her dear friend a thumbs-up in her heart.

Just then Zhang Jingdong chimed in, "In that case, I suppose I’ll have to personally accompany you for the dance!"

Xu Nuo was momentarily taken aback, "Wha... what? You?"

"Why? You think I can’t dance?"

Xu Nuo shook her head immediately, "No... but..."

"Quit the ’buts’, come on. It’s almost 9 o’clock now, I’ve got to head back to the hotel later."

Though Xu Nuo was still a bit embarrassed, seeing Zhang Jingdong like this, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

After all, she had already been pulled by Zhang Jingdong, hugged on the shoulder and waist, so dancing with him didn’t seem like much.

So she stifled her embarrassment and said, "...Alright."

Seeing her agree, Zhang Jingdong immediately executed a standard ballroom dance invitation gesture, "Please."

Xu Nuo, seeing this, instantly felt that Zhang Jingdong might be a ballroom dance expert, feeling slightly shy and nervous, she extended her hand.

Zhang Jingdong pulled her hand, adeptly placed his right hand on her fragrant shoulder, while tightly grasping her right hand with his left, and then began the dance.

Xu Nuo learned this dance from her mother, though she hadn’t danced it much over the years, thus she was very unsure of her dance skills.

Additionally, there was a hint of flirtation between her and Zhang Jingdong, so as the dance began, her mind wandered a bit, making her movements somewhat disjointed.

But she quickly realized that Zhang Jingdong was indeed a true dance expert; although her dancing was average, he made her feel incredibly comfortable.

Regardless of rhythm or steps, under his guidance, they became increasingly accurate, and she wasn’t even nervous anymore.

Because of this, she gradually no longer needed to constantly pay attention to her steps, nor did she worry about stepping on Zhang Jingdong’s feet.

Zhang Jingdong noticed this and said, "You’re just too modest, you’re dancing just fine; with your skills, you could enter amateur ballroom dance competitions!"

Xu Nuo shook her head a bit anxiously, "You’re flattering me too much; it’s all thanks to your guidance, otherwise I would’ve been all over the place."

Qi Siyuan watching from the side, though slightly jealous, said, "You two really match well dancing together. I’ve never seen Xu Nuo move so gracefully!"

Xu Nuo blushed instantly, "It’s all thanks to Boss Zhang’s dancing skills; he’s leading me."

Zhang Jingdong casually remarked, "Honestly, I’ve never been this in sync while dancing with others, so your dance talent is quite remarkable; you learn quickly!"

Qi Siyuan giggled, "You two are starting to admire each other now, huh? Well, when outstanding men and women meet, bound to create some beautiful stories."

Xu Nuo immediately gave Qi Siyuan a sideways glance, "Don’t say such things."

"Alright, alright... I won’t say anything, okay?"

Zhang Jingdong deliberately danced with Xu Nuo for another five or six minutes, finally replicating the waist-low move from the photo session atop White Cloud Mountain.

And this time, the distance between their faces was still only about ten centimeters.

Xu Nuo dared not hold the pose this time, immediately lowering her head in bashful resistance.

But Zhang Jingdong didn’t release her right away. He said, "Xu Nuo, when we do things, we should do them perfectly; the most important part of this dance is the final gaze, come on, cooperate!"

Although Xu Nuo felt he seemed to be deliberately teasing her, she knew with his arm still around her waist and his hand still holding hers, if she didn’t cooperate, he wouldn’t let her go.

So after a bit of internal conflict, she had no choice but to slowly lift her head and meet his gaze.

Then, somehow, maybe it was Zhang Jingdong’s intense gaze at the moment, or perhaps the good rapport developed through the dance, or maybe the lighting was just right.

In that moment of eye contact, she felt her heartbeat seemed to stop!

Moreover, she now found Zhang Jingdong in front of her strikingly handsome, even more so than Li Ming.

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully obtaining 20 goodwill points from the target character; Reward: 1 million yuan!"

Zhang Jingdong immediately felt delighted, releasing Xu Nuo while saying, "Alright, you’ve completed this challenge perfectly too!"

Standing upright, Xu Nuo’s heartbeat had returned.

Zhang Jingdong glanced out the window.

"It’s getting late, I should get going."

Xu Nuo snapped back to reality, saying, "I’ll see you off; I’ll arrange the hotel for you."

Zhang Jingdong chuckled and waved it off, "No need, the hotel is already booked."

Speaking, he glanced naturally at Qi Siyuan, whose earlier jealousy instantly transformed into glee.

The three descended the stairs together.

Just as they exited the villa, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom glided slowly into the courtyard.

Moreover, this Rolls-Royce Phantom was clearly not a standard model, evident by its length and design, implying it was a custom vehicle.

Zhang Jingdong then turned towards Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo’s expression at this moment was truly picturesque, shy yet apprehensive, puzzled, and with a hint of... expectation?

Feeling Zhang Jingdong’s gaze, she bit on her lip corner and whispered, "I... my parents are back."

Upon hearing this, even Zhang Jingdong felt a bit uneasy, considering it was his first day here and he had to meet the parents — a scenario challenging for anyone.

But he feigned composure and said, "Alright then, let’s greet uncle and aunty before I leave."
