Chapter 675: Invitation to Dance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zou Bai followed Jiang An as a bodyguard, but he still maintained his style in his attire. Coupled with his aura that could not be ignored, anyone would believe him if he said that he was the crown prince of any country.

Therefore, when he spoke, the man thought that he was here to snatch the opportunity to dance with Jiang An.

He thought that he definitely couldn’t lose to him. He wanted Jiang An to see his bravery. After all, Country F had a tradition of dueling to win dance opportunities.

However, he did not expect Jiang An to say that she did not want to dance. Clearly, she was biased towards Zou Bai. The man could only leave dejectedly. He was a gentleman who respected women.

Jiang An smiled and looked at Zou Bai. “You said that very quickly just now. What if I want to dance with him?”

“No.” Zou Bai was very certain. “You won’t dance with him.”

“Why do you think that?”

“Because I want to ask you to dance now.”

Zou Bai bowed and extended his hand to Jiang An. He had never invited anyone to dance at a banquet. Even if he had learned to dance, he did not want to bow down to anyone. Jiang An was the first and only one.

Jiang An handed his hand over and the two of them entered the dance floor hand in hand. The people beside them quickly made way.

It was not that they were afraid of them, but they subconsciously did so.

After all, Jiang An and Zou Bai’s appearances were too dazzling. The faces from the east were uniquely beautiful.

It was the instinct of everyone to appreciate beauty. No matter what kind of beauty it was, it would attract people to look.

An elegant waltz sounded. Jiang An danced to Zou Bai’s rhythm. The tacit chemistry between the two of them was visible to the naked eye.

The man who had invited the dance earlier did not look too good. He finally understood why he had been rejected. They must have known each other from the beginning.

The palace was filled with applause after the dance. In fact, the dance was not to the point of being shocking, but only because the ones who started clapping first were John, Henry, and Annie.

The three people from the royal family whose status was second only to the king applauded, and the others naturally followed.

“I didn’t expect Miss Jiang to have such good dancing skills,” John spoke first.

Henry followed closely behind. “Miss Jiang’s dance is top-notch even in Country F.”

In any case, he wasn’t using Zou Bai’s identity passport. He could just fool them a little.

That was why Annie felt like she had seen him somewhere before. She had seen Zou Bai on the news before.

But that was a long time ago. For the past two years, she had been too busy competing for the throne to care much about foreign news.

Sophie didn’t want Zou Bai’s identity to be exposed, so she quickly said, “Mom, why didn’t Grandfather come? I remember that he likes to attend banquets the most.”

The few of them fell silent when they heard this. The old king had died long ago and was lying in the hospital morgue, but no one dared to spread the news.

According to the law, the crown prince would inherit the throne after the death of the King. Even if he said that he would give up the throne and go somewhere, the legal throne would still be his.

No matter how much others wanted to be king, they could only pinch their noses and look for him.

Although the crown prince had been clamoring all these years that he did not want to be the king, he had never delayed the royal family’s official business. His reputation among the people was quite good. He could not be replaced just like that.

They had to increase their political influence before then, so they would be able to win the support of the people and smoothly ascend to the throne.

“Your maternal grandfather has been so sad recently that his health hasn’t been good, so he doesn’t want to attend the banquet.” Annie sighed. “Your uncle left just like that. Grandfather really couldn’t accept it.”

Jiang An really wanted to applaud these words. Not only did she lie, but she also made the crown prince take responsibility for angering their sickly father.

Sophie said eagerly, “Then I’ll go see Grandfather.”

‘That won’t do. If I let Sophie go, it’ll all come out.’

They did not want a fourth person to know about this. If anything happened, everyone’s plan would be ruined.

Moreover, Sophie had been gone for so many years that no one could figure out what she would do. It would not be good to come up with any crooked ideas to help her mother.

“Your grandfather is recuperating in the other palace and doesn’t want to see anyone. Even if you go, you won’t be able to enter,” Henry said..
