Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing that Nangong Nuannuan was still a little embarrassed, Wei Du said to the people around him, “Our Miss Nuannuan is a little embarrassed. Can everyone give her some encouragement?”
Everyone immediately applauded.
“I’ll take the lead. Firstly, you get your left foot out, then your right foot, then your left foot. You can do it like you’re walking. Leave the rest to me.”
“Okay.” Nuannuan was very humble.
“Let’s start.”
After Wei Du made the announcement, Nuannuan extended her right foot without hesitation and stepped on Wei Du’s left foot.
Suddenly, a piercing pain came from his toes. It was so painful that Wei Du’s expression became twisted.
Nangong Nuannuan looked lost and awkward after stepping on his foot.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I mistakenly extended my right foot. Let’s try that again.”
He could tell that she did not do it on purpose, so he endured the pain and smiled. “It’s okay. Again. Put your left foot out first, okay?”
Nangong Nuannuan nodded. “Yes, yes. I’ll remember this one.”
Then, they started to dance again.
This time, they started rather well, but after a few steps, Nangong Nuannuan’s footsteps became obviously messy. Even though Wei Du tried his best to match her speed, Nuannuan lowered her head to stare at her feet the whole time. Even so, she still got the rhythm wrong.
With another stomp, Nuannuan’s foot mercilessly landed on the back of Wei Du’s foot again.
Clearly, she had only gently stepped on his foot before removing it, but Wei Du felt a shocking stabbing pain that originated from the very bones of his foot.
Damn…
What did this woman eat growing up? Why was she so strong?
“Mr. President, I think we should forget about it. I’m naturally slow-witted when it comes to dancing, and I’m very strong. I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You can’t hurt me with this strength. It’s alright, let’s continue!”
Everyone looked at Wei Du, who started to hobble around on his feet. They could not tell if he was doing it on purpose or if it was truly painful.
However, after Wei Du was stepped on five times, he finally collapsed to the ground in spite of himself.
“Mr. President!”
Several cabinet ministers immediately rushed forward to lift him to his feet.
Looking at the cold sweat on Wei Du’s forehead and his pale face, everyone realized that the president was really injured.
“Miss Nangong, doesn’t our president treat you well? Why must you injure him on purpose?” Dan De questioned Nangong Nuannuan unhappily.
Nangong Nuannuan looked aggrieved. “I’ve already said that I don’t know how to dance. I once broke my male dance partner’s toe. It was the president who didn’t mind and kept asking me to continue. It’s my fault for being strong. It’s not something I wish upon myself. I really didn’t do it on purpose. If I did, I could’ve crushed a hard rock with one stomp. This time, I only stepped on the president’s foot five times.”
At this moment, Wei Du started to feel the intensity of the pain coming from his foot. He had originally wanted to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, but now he felt that Nangong Nuannuan did this on purpose.
After all, his foot was in too much pain. He could feel that the back of his foot and toes were fractured.
“Miss Nangong, you have to be responsible for your words. We definitely don’t believe that you can crush a rock with a single stomp. The president is kind enough to invite you to dance. If you’re unwilling to dance, you can just reject him directly. Why must you hurt the president?”
“Minister Dan De, I’m not lying. No matter what kind of stone it is, I can crush it with one stomp if I put my mind into it. If you don’t believe me, you can find any stone for me to try.”
“Alright, since Miss Nangong has said so. I’ll give it a shot to clear our suspicion of you.”
After saying that, Dan De stood up and walked to a fountain in the hall…
