Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 1216: I Only Dance for My Wife to See

He raised his eyebrows as he spoke, giving off a "I’m easy to talk to" vibe, but those limpid, peach-blossom eyes held not a trace of a smile, only indifference.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, seemingly not expecting him to respond in such a manner.

But people quickly recovered, suddenly finding his answer absolutely brilliant.

His words seemed simple, even self-deprecating, but they were loaded with significance.

It felt as though Nangong Jin simply disdained to respond directly to Hong Wu’s words.

Because this was Hong Wu’s own speculation, not representative of anyone else’s stance.

And Nangong Jin, by not addressing it directly, without saying "Who said I can’t dance? Come on, I’ll show you," but instead agreeing with Hong Wu, unexpectedly turned the tables and left Hong Wu humiliated and unable to recover.

It meant that he simply didn’t deign to counterattack. You say I can’t dance, so I can’t dance?

If you say I can’t dance, then maybe I really can’t. After all, words can be taken both ways; it’s up to you to interpret them.

But those who understood could hear the mockery in his words, especially with the last sentence, "You might as well quit teaching dance and switch to fortune-telling, it’d probably boom. At the very least, I’d introduce quite a few friends to you, huh?"

The message in there was truly profound!

And somehow, these words felt incredibly classy no matter how you interpreted them. A humorously mocking retort was much better than a direct confrontation.

On the other hand, if Nangong Jin had resisted with dissatisfaction and shown off a dance move, it might have seemed too petty.

It was merely a petty provocation; why take it seriously? To do so would make one appear clownish.

Then there was Hong Wu, looking utterly defeated, his face red and ears burning, at a loss as to how to reply.

Di Jinxuan hadn’t expected him to respond this way, but it seemed to fit his style—understated yet incredibly classy.

At a glance, one might think him somewhat timid, but upon reflection, one realizes he was simply marvelous, handling the situation perfectly.

He resolved the issue without showing the slightest agitation, looking completely composed, without any of the face-reddening or ear-burning expressions and behaviors that would have lowered his own status.

After Nangong Jin had finished speaking, he looked at the group of students and professors who were dumbfounded and smirked, "However, now I only dance for my wife."

As he said this, he glanced sideways at her, raising an eyebrow, and with a practiced flirtatious look he threw at Di Jinxuan, he seductively said, "Isn’t that right, wife?"

For some reason, Di Jinxuan actually felt her eyes well up with tears.

"Wow!" Qin Yun and Zhou Yihan immediately exclaimed, "Jin Palace is so MANLY!"

In an instant, the group of girls caught on, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

What a great boyfriend—no trouble in public, humor and wit followed by a display of affection.

It seemed that Jin Palace truly loved Di Jinxuan.

The professors finally breathed a sigh of relief, practically sweating bullets. Jin Palace had really played his cards in an unexpected way.

After speaking, Nangong Jin then looked towards Hong Wu, still appearing very good-natured, and asked, "Does Teacher Hong have any objections?"

How could Hong Wu possibly object?

His statement about only dancing for his own wife made it clear that he wasn’t actually unable to dance; he simply chose not to perform for others.

Performing for his own wife—what objections could Hong Wu have?

Hong Wu, embarrassed to the extreme, wanted to say something but found he couldn’t find the words, so he hastily shook his head, "No objections."

"That’s good," Nangong Jin nodded, took a drag of his cigarette, looked over at the professors with a lifted lip, and said leisurely, "It seems that in the decade I’ve been absent, the dance world has been quite lively, not only focusing on dance but also on divination for others, huh, interesting. Since Teacher Hong is so keen on metaphysics, maybe it’d really be better for you to change your line of work. Don’t you think so?"
