<h4>Chapter 1182: Chapter 1175: Masquerade Ball</h4>


    "Hmph, no matter what you say, you’re not worthy of Sister Zhiqing."


    Qiaoqiao, as if she had found support, pouted and said to Lu Tianxing, "I don’t know who it was that promised to take me to the amusement park a few days ago, only to leave me waiting eagerly for several days. Sister Zhiqing, how can someone who breaks promises be worthy of a great beauty like you? If you ask me, you should ditch him."


    "Ugh."


    Hearing Qiaoqiao’s words, Bai Zhiqing nced at Lu Tianxing, whose face was full of ck lines, and said, "No need to ditch him, but if he dares to break his promise again, I’ll teach him a lesson for you."


    "Hmm, thank you, Sister Zhiqing."


    Qiaoqiao nodded heavily, waving her little fist at Lu Tianxing, as if to say, I’ve found my backer, if you dare mess with me again, I’ll make sure you regret it.


    Just at that moment, the music drifting in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone else in the hall seemed to have received some kind of signal, ceasing their conversations and turning their gazes towards the temporary stage set up in the hall.


    "What’s going on?"


    Lu Tianxing was slightly puzzled.


    "The dance party is about to start."


    Shen Manjun exined beside him.


    As the soft, soothing music began to y in the hall, Luan Hongyue, the host of the dance party, appeared on the stage.


    At this moment, Luan Hongyue had changed into an evening gown. The light purple dress showcased her extraordinary charm, like a night enchantress, attracting the gaze of all the men in the hall.


    However, no one noticed that in another corner, upon seeing the dress Luan Hongyue was wearing, Jiang Haochen’s face suddenly turned sullen, almost capable of dripping water, with a hint of cold killing intent in his eyes. If he remembered correctly, Luan Hongyue wasn’t wearing that dress before, but now she had changed it, making it obvious what might have happened after she went to find Lu Tianxing.


    If nothing happened, would she need to change clothes?


    Luan Hongyue, oblivious to Jiang Haochen’s dark gaze, scanned the crowd from the stage and said, "Thank you all foring to Hong Yue’s dance party today. I believe everyone knows that this dance party is different from regr ones. After all, we all attend so many parties that they’ve lost their novelty. So this time, let’s try something fun."


    "Masquerade party, I believe everyone is familiar with this term, so I won’t borate to save everyone from thinking I’m long-winded. Of course, if anyone doesn’t like masquerades, you can choose to leave the dance floor. I’ve prepared some snacks on the side for you to enjoy."


    As soon as Luan Hongyue finished speaking, several bunny girls came pushing carts over.


    The carts were piled with masks of all kinds, some covering half the face, others covering the full face, cartoon ones, realistic ones, Peking Opera ones, ssical ones, you name it.


    "Here are the masks I’ve prepared. Feel free to choose one, and once you’re all masked up, mingle to shuffle around, and then the dance party will begin tonight, enjoy yourselves."


    With Luan Hongyue’s words, the soothing music suddenly became passionate and rousing.


    Sounds of excitement rose all around, and everyone rushed to grab a mask from the carts. This kind of party was the most thrilling. With faces hidden, no one could guess who their dance partner might be, and you might just invite an amazing beauty. If you hit it off, perhaps the night could end on a fulfilling note.


    Moreover, from masquerade experiences, even if you engage in fulfilling activities with others, there’s no need to remove the mask, which is what makes it the most exhrating.


    Lu Tianxing casually picked up a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask and yed with it.


    "Lu Tianxing, do you want to join this masquerade party?" Bai Zhiqing asked with a slight frown. With her intelligence, she could obviously see the nature of this masquerade, and she would have already turned away if it weren’t for the invitation from Lu Haoyue.


    "It’s just for fun, but if you don’t like it, my dear, I’ll sit with you on the side."


    Lu Tianxing casually set down the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask and, to be truthful, had no interest in such a party. Looking at Shen Manjun beside him, he asked, "Miss Shen, do you want to join this party?"


    "Not my thing."


    Shen Manjun shook her head; she didn’t like this kind of party at all.


    "Mom, I want to y, I want to y, it’s such a fun event, I can’t miss it."


    Qiaoqiao looked excitedly at all the masked individuals appearing around her, her eyes sparkling. She had never been to such a party and was certain it’d be lots of fun.


    "No way, you don’t know this...."


    Before Shen Manjun could finish her sentence, Lu Tianxing interrupted, "Miss Shen, since Qiaoqiao wants to y, let her, and I’ll keep an eye on her, while you rest here."


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Shen Manjun furrowed her brow slightly but eventually nodded, "Alright then, let’s do it this way!"


    "Yay, I love you, uncle!"


    Qiaoqiao cheered, eagerly grabbing a Pleasant Sheep mask and putting it on her face.


    Lu Tianxing shook his head slightly, then picked a full-face Superman mask from a nearby cart pushed by a passing bunny girl and put it on.


    Bai Zhiqing and Shen Manjun shook their heads too, refraining from further words, and along with a few others not interested in the party, they left the dance floor to sit on the side.


    Before long, all the guests had their masks on.


    Seeing the scene, Luan Hongyue spoke again, "Now, let’s turn off the lights. Everyone starts moving, and in a minute, the lights wille on, and the masquerade officially begins."


    As soon as Luan Hongyue stopped speaking, the lights in the hall dimmed, bing somewhat blurry yet still allowing people to see one another.


    "Uncle, I’m going too. You have to find me, or I’ll ignore you."


    Qiaoqiao said to Lu Tianxing, throwing a sentence over her shoulder before dashing excitedly into the crowd, disappearing without a trace before he could respond.


    Simultaneously, everyone else in the venue started to move.


    The minute quickly passed, with the lights turning on again and mellow music flowing through the hall. Colorful lights shed continuously, and the hall’s atmosphere became lively. Nearly everyone began moving along with the music.
