Chapter 22: Care to Dance? The Gentle Fairy Transforms Instantly into a Sensual Enchantress!
Morning.
A handsome and refined man dressed in a suit, his pristine white turtleneck gently embracing his Adam’s apple, adding an aura of restrained elegance.
He took out a diamond-studded bell anklet and fastened it onto Ruan Ruan’s ankle.
Her lashes, heavy with tear stains, fluttered as she gently lifted her tender, watery eyes. “What is this?”
Jinzhou couldn’t help but plant a few kisses on her, his voice husky as he said, “A little bell anklet. Wear it obediently, and in the evening, let it ring for me.”
Ruan Ruan’s shoulder peeked out of her garment, and she extended her alabaster leg to flick him playfully. “Pervert!”
Jinzhou grinned, “Only perverted for you, Ruan Ruan.”
Ruan Ruan was momentarily speechless.
After receiving her endearing slap, Jinzhou stepped out refreshed and ready for work.

After breakfast, Ruan Ruan practiced dancing for a while.
Her phone on the wooden floor suddenly rang. She walked over and answered.
“Ruan Ruan, this is Liu Qing.”
Immediately, the image of Liu Qing appeared in her mind—short, neat hair and always revealing a slender waist.
“Teacher Liu, long time no see.”
They had met at a dance training academy. Liu Qing was surprised that such a top graduate from Xiangjiang Dance Academy was teaching little children. Likewise, Ruan Ruan found it surprising that Liu Qing, a well-known dance instructor, was teaching kids.
Liu Qing’s bright voice rang out, “As dancers, our legs and spirits are straightforward, so I won’t bother with formalities. I’m now a choreographer at Longteng Entertainment, and I want to invite you to choreograph for the company’s girl group.”
Ruan Ruan took a sip of water, speaking calmly, “I’d be happy to help, but I have no experience choreographing for girl groups. In fact, I have no choreography experience at all.”
Liu Qing immediately objected, “How is that possible? When we were at the dance academy, you performed a solo dance just for fun. I thought it was great and recorded it.”
“Recently, I reviewed it again and felt it suits a girl group perfectly. That’s why I’m calling to invite you as their choreographer. I chose you for your talent, not out of favoritism, so don’t be modest.”
Liu Qing didn’t know Ruan Ruan’s true identity; she only knew she was a graduate from Xiangjiang Dance Academy, so her words were sincere praise.
Ruan Ruan was a little tempted. “Then I’ll give it a try?”
Liu Qing pressed on, “Are you free now?”
Ruan Ruan: “Yes.”
Liu Qing: “Come over right away. I’ll reimburse your travel expenses!”
—
Longteng Entertainment Company.
After Ruan Ruan got out of the car, Liu Qing hurriedly offered to pay the fare.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost’s driver looked puzzled.
Ruan Ruan didn’t want to reveal her identity, so she winked at the driver.
The driver opened WeChat, letting Liu Qing scan to pay.
Liu Qing asked, “How much?”
The driver replied, “One hundred?”
Liu Qing tapped the screen. “Okay! Paid.”
She linked arms with Ruan Ruan, chatting as they entered the company.
The driver pulled over and reported to General Gu.
[Miss is at Longteng Entertainment Company, apparently teaching dance. A friend of hers paid me one hundred yuan for the fare. I plan to buy Miss some milk tea.]
Gu Jinzhou: [Hmm, wait for her there.]
[Understood, General Gu.]
Gu Jinzhou: [Get her a large pearl milk tea, 30% sugar.]
[General Gu, is that a typo? Don’t you always tell Miss to cut down on sugar?]
Gu Jinzhou: [Get a small one with pearl milk tea; she finishes it in a few sips. If it’s a large one, she gets bored halfway and ends up drinking less.]
The driver nodded silently. No wonder childhood friends raised together, General Gu truly understands Miss best.

The Pretty Girls is a newly launched idol girl group by Longteng Entertainment, consisting of four members: Sun Na, Li Meizhen, Zheng Yurou, and Song Yiyi.
They’re somewhat famous due to their origins in a talent show.
Naturally, they are proud and have high standards.
Liu Qing went to get drinks midway, leaving Ruan Ruan alone to enter the dance studio.
Sun Na and the others saw an extraordinarily magnificent face.
Pure and beautiful, ethereal as a fairy.
Simply a divine beauty among divine beauties!
Who is she?
Is she a newcomer?
She’s going to steal all the idol stars’ spotlight!
Feeling the hostility, Ruan Ruan stood at the doorway, not daring to greet them.
Liu Qing returned with the drinks and introduced, “This is Teacher Su, a graduate of Xiangjiang Dance Academy, majoring in dance choreography.”
“Teacher Su, let me introduce them. Captain Sun Na and Li Meizhen are main dancers; Zheng Yurou and Song Yiyi are lead vocalists.”
The four breathed a sigh of relief.
So she’s not a newcomer.
“Hello, Teacher Su!”
Ruan Ruan: “Hello.”
Liu Qing turned on the speaker and played a piece of music.
“Teacher Su, can you choreograph a dance suitable for a girl group to this song? We only have a week, but I believe in your talent!”
Ruan Ruan felt some pressure. “I’ll give it a try.”
She stood up, replayed the music, and began to dance with the rhythm.
The gentle fairy instantly transformed into a seductive enchantress!
—
Every fingertip, every strand of hair, every soft sigh was irresistibly captivating.
Liu Qing and the girl group stared wide-eyed.
Ahhhh!
So enchanting and ethereal! This is the dance we want! This is the atmosphere we crave!
Liu Qing clenched her fists excitedly. Luckily, she had smartly recorded it. She knew Ruan Ruan was a genius—not just a pretty face, but a dance prodigy!
Ruan Ruan faced away from them, dancing through the music more than a dozen times, correcting details each time she missed a beat.
Only when satisfied did she face them and perform the full girl group choreography once.
Sun Na led the applause.
“Teacher Su is amazing!”
“This is exactly the feeling we wanted! Teacher Su is the best!”
“Thank you, Teacher Liu, thank you, Teacher Su!”
“Teacher Su, please teach us.”
Liu Qing asked, “Teacher Su, I noticed you breathe slightly while dancing—is that an intentional detail?”
Ruan Ruan looked puzzled. “No, that’s just natural breathing. Otherwise, I’d die.”
Everyone: !!!
It turns out that perfection means even a breath can become an irresistibly alluring part of the performance.

It was dusk by the time Ruan Ruan left Longteng Entertainment. She saw the Ghost parked by the street and got in.
A few steps behind, Li Shaojue, who had just left the company gate, caught sight of this. His breath grew subtly heavier, his sharp, profound eyes harboring emotions inscrutable and deep.
Ruan Ruan was texting Jinzhou.
It seemed she had found a job!
Being a choreographer was a fulfilling role, and showcasing the girl group’s stage would win her many fans!
Gu Jinzhou: [Baby is amazing! Send the link to the family group; I’ll get them to vote for your choreography.]
Ruan Ruan: […Voting my ass! I’m choreographing for a girl group, not a kindergarten dance contest!]
Gu Jinzhou: [Kisses, baby.]
Ruan Ruan: [No kisses!]
After reading this, Jinzhou’s fingers caressed the screen. The noble and proud prince’s thin lips curled slightly, a smile playing on his face—irresistibly charming and mischievous.
Rong Xiu: “Oh, cooking up a text porridge?”
Gu Jinzhou: “Jealous? You can cook some too.”
Rong Xiu: “Xin’er hasn’t returned to the country. Who else would I cook with? The Creek Bay project is great, preparations are nearly done, construction starts tomorrow. You’re really not joining in?”
Gu Jinzhou: “Too many things on my plate. I wouldn’t have time for Ruan Ruan.”
Rong Xiu: “Tsk, blinded by desire, huh!”
