Du Ming was dragged by Li Yulan to the middle of the dance floor, and said helplessly, "Hey, aren't you just looking for me to deal with that person? What's going on, I think you really want to dance with me?"

  Li Yulan said sincerely, "Oh dear, Mr. Du, if we don't put on a whole show, that Sun Tonghe will still come to bother me and I won't have any way out, so please help me!"

  Du Ming was speechless and could only let Li Yulan pull him onto the dance floor.

  Li Yulan asked him, "Can Mr. Du dance? As a foreign military king like you, shouldn't you be out of touch with such things?"

  Du Ming didn't say anything, he just struck a standard dance pose and directly pulled Li Yulan up to dance.

  Li Yulan was slightly surprised, she thought that Du Ming, this war god, who was so strong in battle, should be someone who only knew how to fight and didn't know anything else, and that's why he had such high strength. She didn't expect that Du Ming could even dance well, and her previous understanding of him was also that he was good at everything.

  On the contrary, Li Yulan, who had been living abroad for a long time, hadn't returned to the mainland in a while and wasn't used to this high-society life. She was actually less adaptable than Du Ming and needed him to bring her into his social circle through music.

  On the other hand, the dance party had begun, and Yun Cai finally finished talking to someone. When she turned around, she found that Du Ming was nowhere to be seen. She looked around in surprise and saw him dancing with Li's eldest sister in the dance pool.

  Yun Cai immediately knocked over the vinegar jar, although she didn't want to admit it, but was so angry that she wanted to go and grab Du Ming's ear to ask him why he didn't dance with her instead of dancing with another woman, but considering the occasion, she could only glare at Du Ming from a distance.

  Yun Cai had originally planned to dance with Du Ming at the ball, so as to avoid being bothered by others, but unexpectedly this guy actually became someone else's dance partner and abandoned her?!

  Yun Cai was thinking angrily when a man walked over and said, "Miss Yun? Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"

  Yun Cai was taken aback for a moment, looked at that person, and it turned out to be the eldest young master of the Song family, Song Jinglong.

  The relationship between the Song and Yun families has always been good. At the banquet at the Liu's house, Song Jinglong also expressed his support for Yun Cai, although it was due to Du Ming's relationship, but Yun Cai had a good impression of Song Jinglong.

  Yun Cai hesitated for a moment, looking at Song Jinglong's outstretched hand inviting her, and slowly nodded, putting her own hand on his.

  "Hmph, Du Ming, you're allowed to dance with other women, but I'm supposed to just watch? I can also find another man to accompany me!"

  Yun Cai pulled Song Jinglong to the center of the dance floor, swaying to the music.

  She deliberately, with Song Jinglong, turned around and ended up next to Du Ming and Li Yulan's pair. As the two groups brushed past each other, she viciously stepped on Du Ming's foot.

  Du Ming took a deep breath and cursed, "Ten-centimeter high heels, these women are so cruel!"

  Li Yulan noticed this small movement and smiled to ask Du Ming, "Just now was it Yunjia's eldest sister Yun Cai? Did she step on you?"

  Du Ming said helplessly, "Yes, this woman is really ruthless."

  Li Yulan joked, "Mr. Du, Yun Xiaojie has deep feelings for you, seeing us two dancing together made her jealous, sigh, I guess asking for your help must have upset her."

  Du Ming said, "Forget it, no big deal, I'll just coax her when this is over," he thought of Yun Cai's puffed up face whenever she saw him teasing other girls and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Li Yulan looked at Du Ming's eyes with a bit of gossip, "Mr. Du, it seems that you also like this Cloud Xiaojie very much."

  Du Ming said, "There are many women your brother likes."

  Li Yulan shook her head and smiled, "But I think this Yun Xiaojie is very special to you, it can be seen from your eyes."

  "What's with the look?" Du Ming said somewhat disbelievingly. Li Yulan smiled mischievously, "Hmph, this is a woman's intuition, you wouldn't understand it's normal."

  Yun Cai was jealous because Du Ming had another woman as his dance partner, and Sun Tonghe was even more furious to see Li Yulan dancing with that country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

  That man is not a high-society person at all! He can't even wear a suit properly, and he runs to the banquet without interacting with others, just eating and drinking alone. He's simply a country bumpkin who came to freeload!

  Sun Tong and others had expected that Du Ming, who had never seen the world, would not be able to dance at all. He would go out on the dance floor a few times, make a fool of himself, and be ridiculed by others, and that would be the end of it. But unexpectedly, Du Ming was not only able to dance smoothly with Li Yulan, but his steps were also natural and fluent, far surpassing their own.

  Sun Tong felt his self-esteem was insulted. Who is this person! Today, I must make him lose face and be unable to show himself, only then can I vent my anger!

  Several dance songs ended, and the people in the ballroom came down to rest in twos and threes. Yun Cai saw Li Yu Lan leaning on Du Ming, deliberately holding Song Jing Long's arm and walking past the two of them, and even gave Du Ming a glare as they passed by.

  Du Ming couldn't help but laugh at her vinegar-eating expression.

  Then Sun Tong and Da Bu walked over and blocked Du Ming and Li Yu Lan's way.

  "Sir, I think you're not from our world at all. Everyone else is busy socializing, but you've been eating and drinking non-stop. I'm not only suspicious about how a country bumpkin like you ended up here, do you even have an invitation? You must be sneaking in to freeload!"

  Li Yulan said angrily to Sun Tonghe, "Sun Tonghe, watch your words! Mr. Du is an honored guest of the Li family and a distinguished guest of the Song family, a noble person in the Yun family. His status in the circle is much higher than yours, how dare you call him a country bumpkin?"

  Sun Tonghe was not very familiar with Du Ming's identity, and when Li Yulan said "noble guest" or "guest of honor", he thought she was just talking nonsense and didn't believe that this country bumpkin in front of him would have any connection to the Song family or the Yun family.

  Du Ming said calmly, "You say I'm a freeloader? I think you're the one who claims to be the young master of the Sun family, but can't even find a dance partner. You want to socialize with others, but people from high society don't want to bother with you. Looking at it this way, I think you're the lowly person who snuck in."

  "You!" Sun Tong's face turned red with rage. "Who are you calling a low-born person! How could the young master of the esteemed Sun family possibly be a low-born person who sneaked in?"

  Du Ming said disdainfully, "Is that so? What's the use of saying it isn't? What can you use to prove it?"
