After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Despite the shock, Wen Yun reacted quickly. She apologized to Second Young Master Shen: “I’m so sorry, I promised a family member that I’d dance with her right after dinner. I probably won’t have time to accept your invitation tonight, Young Master Shen.”

Second Young Master Shen looked at her, then glanced at Ruan Yu. Whatever he was thinking, he smiled gently: “No problem. I wish you both an enjoyable evening.”

As soon as he left, Wen Yun immediately sat down, holding Ruan Yu’s hand, and sighed: “You certainly know how to surprise me!”

The tone and words made her almost think the protagonist had been possessed by the original Wen Yun!

But the girl only blinked and softly asked, “If I hadn’t stopped you just now, were you going to dance with him?”

“No,” Wen Yun shook her head decisively. “If I have no intention of pursuing it, I shouldn’t give any hope to anyone who tries to hit on me.”

Seeing Ruan Yu smile with relief, Wen Yun frowned in confusion, then reminded her: “But now we actually have to dance, and we have to do it in front of a lot of wealthy young people.”

She had, in fact, saved a “High-End Ballroom Duet Limited-Time Experience Card” specifically for banquet scenarios. However, she never expected her first dance partner to be the protagonist.

“Then let’s dance,” Ruan Yu didn’t seem to feel burdened at all. “I’ll be watching the surroundings carefully and won’t allow anyone to find an opportunity to make us look bad.”

After speaking, she picked up the “Cinderella” cocktail in front of her. While Wen Yun was looking toward the dance floor, Ruan Yu, as if possessed by a mischievous spirit, pressed the side of the glass where Wen Yun had drunk to her own lips.

“If we want to make the refusal absolute, we might have to dance for a while,” Wen Yun brought her gaze back but didn’t notice Ruan Yu’s subtle action. “It might take about an hour. Can you manage that?”

“I’m fine,” Ruan Yu nodded.

Wen Yun then extended her hand. “Then… I’m going to cast the spell, okay?”

Ever since Ruan Yu asked her on the day they enrolled if the prop effects were her “magic,” Wen Yun felt Ruan Yu accepted this notion. Thus, she reminded her whenever she used a prop that involved Ruan Yu.

The girl obediently placed her hand in Wen Yun’s palm.

As the two stood up together, Ruan Yu felt a sudden surge of warmth flow from Wen Yun’s palm, spreading throughout her body.

The next second, she felt a heartbeat that wasn’t her own resounding repeatedly in her chest.

At the same time, Wen Yun suddenly felt her own heart rate accelerate, becoming unusually fast. After a few seconds of confusion, she said to Ruan Yu apologetically: “Ah… I think I’m a little nervous.”

As soon as she spoke, she felt her heart beating even faster.

“…” Wen Yun suspected it was a side effect of the prop. She only saw the four words “Dancer’s Empathy” when she opened the details, realizing that the rapid heartbeat was actually Ruan Yu’s.

She quickly soothed Ruan Yu: “Don’t be nervous. Relax. Trust the magic!”

However, she knew that this kind of nervousness was indeed inevitable and difficult to eliminate. Therefore, even after they entered the ballroom together, she could still feel the other person’s heart beating rapidly. She wasn’t worried or panicked. She simply performed an invitation gesture to Ruan Yu as prompted by the System.

The waltz began to play. As the prop took effect, they slowly started to dance among the crowd.

The duet prop assigned roles based on certain rules. Wen Yun initially thought she would be assigned the lead since she was taller than Ruan Yu, but after a few steps, she found herself to be the follower.

She was guided by the girl, moving forward and backward, with a composed stride. One hand steadily supported her back. She stepped out, turned sideways, and rotated with the girl in perfect rhythm.

Ruan Yu felt she was about to be breathless with excitement. Clutching that person so closely, and dancing with her in public like this, was a scene she had only dared to imagine in her dreams!

Unexpectedly, the magic made the dream a reality. Her attitude toward the dance became even more serious. Her gaze, which had been cautiously observing the surroundings, unconsciously shifted to Wen Yun’s face, meeting her eyes from time to time.

Because of the magic, she could sense that Wen Yun’s heart was also beating fast, but she knew it wasn’t because of any romantic feeling, but because of nervousness.

But what did it matter?

Her own ardor, her own feelings buried deep in her heart, had already been conveyed to the other person and planted a seed in her heart.

Given the right catalyst, if that person recalled the details afterward… it was only a matter of time before she realized her feelings had long since blossomed into something more.

Wen Yun was indeed very nervous at this time.

She had never been exposed to this kind of elegant and rigorous dancing in her past life. Even with the System prop’s buff, whether moving forward or spinning, she worried she would step on Ruan Yu’s foot and make a fool of herself on the spot.

Fortunately, that didn’t happen. As they danced, she realized they had become the focal point of the surrounding crowd.

…Well, in this ballroom, almost all the couples dancing were a man and a woman.

A pair of women dancing together like them, both in formal gowns, certainly looked unusual.

But to completely show all the wealthy young men that they were unavailable tonight and were committed to dancing with each other, Wen Yun gritted her teeth and continued. Seeing the half-hour limit was approaching, she renewed the prop once.

So, they danced for another half hour. Just before the prop timer ran out, Wen Yun quickly gave a cue for the final pose.

Ruan Yu immediately followed, completing a final spin with her, then moving to a less crowded area. They closed their feet and stopped dancing almost simultaneously.

A round of applause started from somewhere and was soon joined by others.

Wen Yun thought, it’s over. She hadn’t caused trouble tonight, but she had accidentally attracted unwanted attention.

She maintained her grace and composure, bowed with Ruan Yu to the crowd, and then quickly pulled Ruan Yu out of the ballroom.

The prop’s empathy was still working. On the way back to their seats, Wen Yun still felt Ruan Yu’s heart beating fast, and she also felt her hand being held very tightly.

…Was Ruan Yu still nervous?

Or was it the excitement of their dance being appreciated?

“Have you heard of the emotion expressed in ‘Für Elise’?” Ruan Yu suddenly asked.

“It’s about the declaration and response to love, isn’t it?” Wen Yun replied, not sure why she suddenly brought it up, as the dance accompaniment just now clearly wasn’t ‘Für Elise.’

The main melody of the piece is cyclical, with fluctuating emotions. It’s like an urgent outpouring, yet it remains gentle and soothing, cheerful and elegant, much like the various stages of love from initial acquaintance, mutual affection, to passionate romance.

Ruan Yu didn’t speak again, but her steps quickened. She soon led Wen Yun proactively to the unattended piano and asked the staff member guarding the instrument: “Hello, may I play a few pieces?”

After receiving permission from the staff, she sat down at the piano, took a deep breath, and placed her hands on the keys, her fingers and palms forming a beautiful semicircle.

Her fingertips descended, finding the black keys. The soothing and prolonged melody of ‘Für Elise’ flowed into Wen Yun’s ears.
