Vampire Family: The Empress's Growth Story

Chapter 11 Cold Fragrance Rose
The dance held by Jiang Rong for Yang Xiaoxiao was in his own vineyard.Jiang Rong's family is in the wine business, and they have built a large piece of land in the suburbs and built a manor.The architecture is a bit of Baroque style, coupled with the lush grape groves, it has become a good place for vacation and leisure.

However, there are no tourists here today. The owner of the manor packed up everything early, waiting to show the most beautiful side to the guests at night.Zhang Yang picked up Li Mu by car, and since the inexplicable quarrel last time, the atmosphere between the two has become somewhat awkward.Li Mu tried to find a topic to talk about, but Zhang Yang didn't respond with a cold face, and he didn't know why he was angry, so he had to give up.The two parked the car, walked into the gate of the manor, and could see the luxurious main building from a distance. At both ends of the villa, 12 pillars supported a spacious corridor.The lawn in the vestibule was already full of well-dressed guests, chatting together in twos and threes, and there were waiters carrying cups and plates shuttling back and forth, which was very lively.This scene, coupled with the burning clouds in the sky, Li Mu couldn't help but think of the party scene described at the beginning of "Gone with the Wind".And today is like the festive day that Scarlett Scarlett has longed for: there are people dressed up, there is a strong scent of flowers and powder, there is a warm and grand atmosphere, and you can dance, dance, dance...
On the left side of the lawn, there are long tables paved with white table flags, among which are decorated with bouquets of flowers and candlesticks, and the tables are filled with various snacks and drinks.It seems to be some Western-style afternoon tea, and the shining golden dessert stand is full of cute and sweet cupcakes, as well as some macarons and sandwiches.On the right side of the lawn, there is a small western band playing live.The guests were like pearls sprinkled on the green velvet, chatting together in twos and threes.There were more guests than expected, not only the students in my class, but also many other guests.This seems to be more than a simple class reunion.

Li Mu was actually very nervous today. Ever since she got out of the car, she was mentally prepared to meet acquaintances, and kept reminding herself in her heart that she should smile, smile, smile.His body also tensed unconsciously because of the tension, and his hands clenched into fists.Zhang Yang saw Li Mu's nervousness, and was about to speak, but the waiter next to him stepped forward at this moment, and politely said to the two of them: "Please sign in at the sign-in desk. In addition, this rose is for Mr. Let me put it in the pocket of your suit for you, please put it away, it will be useful at the dance." Zhang Yang looked carefully, and found that the flower diameter of the rose has been processed, and it is as long as one finger, a bit like a corsage, as bright as blood The true red is Yang Xiaoxiao's favorite color.Zhang Yang changed hands and inserted the rose into Li Mu's ear, then patted her on the shoulder with relief: "Relax, you look beautiful today."

After being slapped like this by him, Li Mu stretched his body deliberately as if he had just woken up from a dream, and smiled awkwardly at Zhang Yang.

As soon as the two entered, they saw Jiang Rong, who was politely exchanging greetings with the guests at the door.Yeah, he's the host, of course he should be here.Zhang Yang also saw it, turned his head, and gave Li Mu a questioning look.Li Mu naturally knew what he was asking, stretched out a hand to wrap Zhang Yang's arm, and smiled politely: "Let's go there."

Jiang Rong naturally noticed the appearance of this pair of beauties very quickly, but he couldn't see any thoughts on his face.

"You are here, welcome." It seemed that he hadn't heard him speak for centuries, and his voice was still so gentle.

"Yeah, why are you alone, Xiaoxiao hasn't come yet?" Zhang Yang asked.

"She came here with a few best friends. Girls, it always takes a while to put on makeup when going out."

Zhang Yang made a dazed expression and said: "Oh yes, she has this problem. I used to have to wait for a long time every time I went out with her. Today is the birthday party you carefully prepared for her. She will definitely dress up special Beautiful, must have come late."

"Just hope she's happy."

"Having such a good boyfriend to help her organize a birthday party, she is too happy, how could she be dissatisfied? Don't you think so, Mu Mu, why don't I organize one for you too?"

Li Mu got goosebumps all over his body when Zhang Yang said "Mu Mu".Just about to speak, Jiang Rong picked it up: "Mu Mu never likes to be lively. It's a great honor to be here today."

"Really? You know our family Mu Mu so well? But I think she likes this kind of occasion quite a bit?" Zhang Yang looked at Li Mu meaningfully while talking.

"Well, I really like parties! It just so happens that I haven't been to the manor for a long time, so come here for a stroll." Li Mu was almost driven crazy by these two people, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Yeah, you haven't been here for a long time. The flowers you planted in the small garden last time are all blooming, you can go and have a look." Jiang Rong's voice was as gentle as ever.Li Mu wanted to bite off his tongue.It's not a good excuse to say anything, but if you insist on saying you haven't been here for a long time, isn't it messy enough?

In the end, the two of them didn't go anywhere.After talking with other students for a while, dinner began.Li Mu was eating absent-mindedly, all he could think about was Jiang Rong.What exactly did he mean by these words?While pampering Yang Xiaoxiao to heaven, he said without hesitation that he remembered his various habits.You're obviously trying to forget about it, okay?Why did you bring it up so lightly?
While thinking, Li Mu cut the steak on the plate to a horrible level.Zhang Yang saw everything, but did nothing.

After the meal is over, the dance floor lights are turned on.As you all know, this is the beginning of the dance.However, according to the introduction of the host, there is an interesting little link in today's dance party, that is, the male guests need to give the roses they received when they entered the venue to the girls they like.Originally, there were more girls than boys in the class, but tonight there are many friends that Jiang Rong specially invited.Do the math, every girl should have roses at the end, and there should be some "flower fairies" who receive a lot of flowers.

The elegant music of the waltz sounded like gentle blue waves rippling on the scene.The light dimmed completely and turned into a light yellow beam.Zhang Yang very gentlemanly invited Li Mu to dance the first dance.Li Mu is wearing a water-blue dress today, with a one-line collar showing her beautiful collarbone.Her hair was tied up in a simple bun, decorated with a blue headscarf, and a diamond stud earring was shining brightly in her ear.The two were so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.Zhang Yang noticed for the first time that Li Mu was really beautiful as a tie flower: straight nose bridge, high cheekbones, and light chin. Under the light at this moment, these tough facial features turned into soft The lines turned into a slightly thin profile face.

With a slight turn, Li Mu naturally fell into Zhang Yang's arms.The eyes of the two met briefly, and then separated again.

With such a little distance, the facial features can be seen clearly.She put on light makeup today, with two curved eyebrows and a pair of bright and distant Danfeng eyes.What makes people unable to move their eyes away is the red lips, which are the same as the rose in her hair, rich red, gorgeous without knowing it.It is a beautiful aggressive face, delicate and wild at the same time.At this moment Zhang Yang suddenly thought of her nickname "Cold Rose".cold.Yan.The name is like a person.

I don't know if everyone let go after the ball, or Li Mu is too beautiful tonight, she who is usually unpopular suddenly became a hot dance partner, and the number of roses she received was also considerable.Contrary to Li Mu, Zhang Yang showed no interest in the dance, and never went to the dance floor, only watching Li Mu spin and bloom on the dance floor.
