Chapter 658: Oh No, the President Has Been Poisoned!
Song Yinyin learned the reason and was extremely upset.No wonder, she hadn’t seen President Shi Mai’er drink all night—there was a reason for it!
She couldn’t help but close her eyes, turning back to glare at Lu Jihan, and said, "Why didn’t you remind me earlier? I almost caused a huge trouble!"
"Didn’t you do your homework beforehand? How could you forget something like this?"
Lu Jihan scolded lightly before continuing, "There are many things that we consider normal in Country Z that are taboo in S Country. Things like smoking, drinking, and gambling are not allowed in S Country. Also, they prohibit massages between the opposite sexes, large gatherings require state approval, and there’s virtually no nightlife."
"There are also minor details to be mindful of. For instance, in S Country, you shouldn’t point with your index finger when gesturing to people or objects. Instead, fold your four fingers into a light fist with the thumb resting against the index finger. In formal settings, avoid crossing your legs or feet."
"In their culture, the left hand is considered unclean. When receiving or passing items, you should use your right hand. Even when hailing someone or a taxi, don’t use the index finger—wave the whole hand instead..."
Listening to Lu Jihan’s detailed explanations, Song Yinyin’s mouth hung open in shock, unable to close.
It turns out S Country has so many taboos.
It seems that once I return, I need to thoroughly research S Country’s customs to avoid making the same mistakes again.
Song Yinyin couldn’t help but feel admiration for President Shi Mai’er once more.
As expected of a country’s president, such tolerance and magnanimity are truly rare.
She sighed once more, patting her chest lightly.
This won’t do; she needed to go to the restroom to calm herself down!
Song Yinyin went to the restroom, washed her hands with cold water, leaned over the bathroom counter, and took several deep breaths before finally calming her nerves.
Her heart gradually settled back into place.
When she returned to the banquet hall, she noticed soft symphonic music playing, a typical waltz, with groups of people, in threes and fives, dancing around the stage.
At this moment, Lu Jihan walked over to her, bowed slightly, and reached out his hand.
One had an upright, tall stature while the other was gracefully charming; both were exceptionally attractive, instantly becoming the focus of the entire room.
Although Song Yinyin wasn’t good at dancing, under Lu Jihan’s guidance, they performed intricate moves.
At times she stood on tiptoe, like flowing clouds and water transforming gracefully, drawing thunderous applause from the onlookers.
When the music ended, he held her slender waist and retreated into the crowd.
The surrounding people cast appreciative and envious glances; Song Yinyin, shy by nature, lowered her head slightly, embarrassed.
"Dancing with your own husband, and you’re still embarrassed?"
"It’s not that; I just feel... I’m still better at playing the piano than dancing."
"That’s true."
He teased with a playful curl of his lips, "If I hadn’t led you, who knows how awful your dance might have looked."
"Lu Jihan!"
He laughed softly; Song Yinyin shot him a side-eye.
Unbeknownst to them, to others, their every word and move seemed like the playful banter of newlyweds.
As the banquet approached its end, Lu Jihan gently held Song Yinyin’s hand and suggested, "Shall we go and bid farewell to Mayor Pei and President Shi Mai’er?"
"Hmm, alright."
She nodded, linking her arm with Lu Jihan’s, and walked toward Mayor Pei and President Shi Mai’er in the crowd.
But after just a few steps, sudden commotion erupted from the crowd.
Immediately following, someone shouted, "Oh no, the president has been poisoned!"
