After swapping bodies, I became a domineering CEO in a melodramatic novel.

Chapter 225 Dancing?! With Qin Reng?!

"Trouble?" Qin Reng raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you didn't invite trouble yourself?"

Yu Yuetong was speechless when she remembered saving Ji Momo on the street yesterday.

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't admit it." Seeing her deflated expression, Qin Reng's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. "However, this trip to the old house is probably not so simple."

Yu Yuetong pouted: "I know, it's just a trap!"

"The Feast at Hongmen?" Qin Reng repeated the phrase, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "You really know how to describe things."

Yu Yuetong glared at him, annoyed. "Otherwise what? Do you think Old Madam Qin would kindly invite us to dinner?"

Qin Reng was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Yu Yuetong, have you ever thought about what you would do if... I mean, what if we really made up?"

Yu Yuetong froze, and the bread in her hand fell into the plate.

"Make up...make up?" she stammered, repeating the word as her heart suddenly raced.

Qin Reng gazed at her flustered expression, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

“Yes, let’s make up.” He repeated each word slowly and deliberately, his voice low. “After all, we’re still husband and wife.”

Yu Yuetong felt her cheeks burning. She turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye: "Who...who wants to make up with you! Our agreement didn't say anything about making up!"

Qin Reng chuckled lightly: "The agreement can be amended."

Yu Yuetong suddenly turned her head, staring at him with wide eyes: "Change? How do you want to change it? You think you can just change it like that!"

Qin Reng shrugged, looking indifferent: "Of course, as long as you agree."

Yu Yuetong felt like she was about to go crazy. She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "I disagree!"

Seeing her exasperated expression, Qin Reng's smile deepened: "Really?"

Yu Yuetong nodded vigorously: "Really!"

"Alright." Qin Reng sighed and stood up. "Since that's the case, let's go."

"Where to?" Yu Yuetong didn't react for a moment.

"It's the old house now, it's already 8:15."

"Oh?" Qin Reng leaned closer to her with interest, his warm breath brushing against her face. "Tell me, how is it not simple?"

Yu Yuetong took half a step back, looking at him warily: "Don't get so close to me!"

Qin Reng chuckled, straightened up, crossed his arms, and looked at her: "Tell me, what is your intuition?"

Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to appear confident: "I think the old man is definitely up to something! He was so against us being together before, and now he's suddenly holding a birthday banquet and wants us to attend. Isn't this obviously putting us in a very difficult position?"

Qin Reng looked at her, his eyes deep: "How do you think the old man will 'roast' us?"

Yu Yuetong shook her head, scratching her hair in frustration: "Ugh, that's what's bothering me! What if he comes up with some unreasonable demands, or humiliates me in public..."

"Don't worry." Qin Reng suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone unusually gentle. "With me here, I won't let you suffer any injustice."

Yu Yuetong was stunned; Qin Reng's sudden gentleness made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Reng raised an eyebrow. "Don't you believe me?"

Yu Yuetong quickly shook her head: "No, no, it's just... a little unexpected."

Qin Reng smiled, turned around and walked into the villa: "Alright, stop overthinking. As for the birthday banquet, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

Yu Yuetong stood there, watching his back, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

Back in her room, Yu Yuetong collapsed onto the bed, rolling around restlessly.

"Ugh! This is so annoying!" She frantically grabbed her hair. "Why does this have to happen to me?!"

Just then, my phone rang. It was a text message from an unknown number:

"Meet me at the old house tomorrow morning at nine o'clock to discuss the birthday banquet arrangements. — Madam Qin"

Yu Yuetong instantly jumped out of bed. Discussing birthday banquet matters? It seems she really guessed right; this birthday banquet isn't as simple as it seems!

The next morning, Yu Yuetong was dragged out of bed by Qin Reng.

"What are you doing..." Yu Yuetong was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open. She was dragged into the car by Qin Reng in a daze.

Yu Yuetong kept yawning the whole way, and she only became a little more awake when the car stopped in front of the old house.

"Let's go," Qin Reng urged after getting out of the car.

Yu Yuetong reluctantly got out of the car and followed Qin Reng into the living room.

Old Madam Qin had been waiting for a long time. When she saw them come in, she greeted them with a smile, "Xiaotong, Xiaoreng, come and sit down."

The two walked over and sat down, and Yu Yuetong still looked like she hadn't woken up yet.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Old Madam Qin asked with concern.

Yu Yuetong smiled awkwardly: "Uh, a little..."

"It's nothing," Madam Qin smiled. "I called you all here today to discuss the birthday banquet."

Qin Reng cut to the chase and asked, "Grandma, what arrangements would you like to make?"

Madam Qin picked up a document from the coffee table and handed it to Qin Reng: "This is the agenda for the birthday banquet. Please take a look."

Qin Reng took the document, quickly glanced through it, and frowned slightly.

Yu Yuetong also leaned over for a look, and her eyes widened immediately.

The schedule stated that at the birthday banquet, Qin Reng and Yu Yuetong would need to toast the guests together, cut the cake together, and even... dance together?!

Yu Yuetong felt her breath catch in her throat. Dancing?! With Qin Reng?! And in front of everyone?!

"Grandma," Qin Reng put down the documents, his tone calm, "isn't this process... a bit too intimate?"

Madam Qin smiled and said, "Xiao Reng, you and my Xiao Tong are husband and wife now, so it's only right that you're affectionate. Besides, this is the old master's birthday banquet, a big event with many people, so you should show your love even more."

Yu Yuetong secretly glanced at Qin Reng and found that his expression was normal, revealing no emotion.

“Grandma,” Qin Reng paused, “Xiaotong and I… didn’t develop such a deep relationship.”

The smile on Madam Qin's face faded slightly, and she sighed, "Xiao Ren, Grandma knows you're upset, but feelings between husband and wife can be cultivated slowly. Consider this birthday banquet as an opportunity for you both to perform well and let the old man see how loving you are."

Qin Reng wanted to say something more, but Yu Yuetong tugged at his sleeve.

Yu Yuetong said softly, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. It's just dancing, it's not like we'll lose a piece of our flesh."

Qin Reng glanced at her, his expression complex.

Madam Qin nodded in satisfaction: "Xiaotong is right. You young people should be more tolerant and understanding of each other."

After leaving the old house, Yu Yuetong sat in the car, feeling completely drained.

"What are you thinking about?"
