Huo Tian recalled how Huo Feng had called to take the initiative to explain the situation and complained helplessly, “I’m really not surprised that this family would cause things to turn out like this. It’s because in such a family, misunderstandings and conflicts are things that often happen.”
Although Huo Tian said that, Xi Cheng still felt a little strange. However, he did not care about other people’s family matters. Moreover, whenever he thought of the things that the couple had done to Huo Tian, Xi Cheng would feel physiological disgust.
Hence, he frowned slightly and let the matter rest. “I understand what Tiantian wants. I’ll get someone to send the invitation over tomorrow.”
Huo Tian looked at Xi Cheng seriously. “Dad, will this make things difficult for you?”
Xi Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. He raised his hand to rub Huo Tian’s messy hair and said gently, “Tiantian, you’re my pride. Dad can do anything for you. No matter what request you make, I won’t feel troubled.”
Huo Tian’s eyes darted around and she suddenly said, “Really, Dad? You’ll agree to whatever request I make?”
Xi Cheng’s defense plummeted when his dear daughter looked at him with those big eyes that seemed like they could speak. He did not sense Huo Tian’s malicious intentions at all and nodded directly. “That’s right. No matter what it is, as long as I can do it, I’ll promise you.”
“That’s great, Dad!” Huo Tian smiled until her eyes were squinted. “Then can you let Si Huan be my dance partner? I don’t want to dance with Uncle!”
The smile on Xi Cheng’s face froze.
With regards to having a dance partner, as the absolute main lead of the banquet, Huo Tian naturally needed a dance partner.
Initially, everyone had wanted Xi Cheng to perform the opening dance as Huo Tian’s dance partner, but Huo Tian rejected that.
It was because Xi Cheng was going to introduce Ding Rong and Huo Tian’s identities to the guests, although the protagonist was Huo Tian, this was also an important occasion for Ding Rong to establish her identity and image. Therefore, Xi Cheng had to be Ding Rong’s dance partner.
After convincing Xi Cheng with this reason, Xi Cheng said matter-of-factly, “In that case, let Ding Chen be Tiantian’s dance partner, okay?”
At that time, Ding Chen also agreed readily. “No problem. I’m Tiantian’s uncle. Of course I won’t refuse for such an occasion.”
At first, Huo Tian didn’t raise any objections, but no one expected this pair of dance partners to erupt in a huge conflict during the early stages of their ballroom dance practice.
Huo Tian had practiced her ballroom dance before. With her intelligence, she could easily break down any dance moves and grasp them in the shortest time possible.
However, compared to those rich children who had been trained since young, she could only do it skillfully. When she danced, she would unconsciously reveal a stiff disposition.
However, Ding Chen’s learning ability was far from Huo Tian’s. When he practiced ballroom dancing, he would always make mistakes unconsciously.
That afternoon when they first partnered to dance, Huo Tian had been stepped on by Ding Chen countless times. Later on, amidst the quarreling between the uncle and niece, this pair of partners parted on bad terms.
After that, because Ding Chen was busy with work and had to deal with the banquet matters, he did not have the time to practice ballroom dancing. After a few days, when they danced together again, the scene was still a horrible sight.
With Ding Chen as a comparison, Huo Tian missed the dance partner who had attended the banquet with her previously—Si Huan..
