Chapter 231: A Well-Matched Couple

Chapter 231: A Well-matched Couple

Mariana Ortiz picked up her suit jacket and returned to the center of the party. The soft piano

accompaniment rang in her ears, elegant and smooth.

However, when she looked up, she only saw that everyone was gathered in a circle and that in the

center there was a large free field, which was the dance floor. Mariana vaguely remembered that

before the group dance began, there would be a solo dance by two people.

This should be what was happening now.

However, something suddenly flashed through her mind, making her feel a little uneasy, but the

thoughts were too fast for her to grasp, leaving some vague emotions affecting her.

Her feet moved forward unconsciously, and Mariana finally positioned herself outside the center,

looking at the two people inside along with the crowd.

The man wore only a thin white shirt, but that failed to camouflage his nobility and arrogance. When his

cold eyes looked at the woman in his arms, a slight softness emerged, and this contrast showed the

intimacy between them.

And the woman dancing with him, held the man's large palm with her beautiful slender hands, and her

exquisite body was most striking against the white dress.

The two gyrated and danced in the middle of the dance floor. A thin bright light was shining on them

and the surroundings seemed a bit dim, as if they were the only ones on the dance floor. They were the

protagonists of the scene, while the others were just small supporting characters.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Mariana couldn't help but squeeze the hand holding the suit jacket and

fiddle with both hands under the cover, wrinkling the clothes.

However, Mariana seemed oblivious to all this, and just stared directly at Leopoldo Durán and Diana

Solís on the scene, unable to look away.

Finally, when the song ended, the two stopped and thanked the audience.

The woman looked at Leopoldo and smiled, full of dependence, while Leopoldo, naturally, also looked

at Diana with a soft look.

What a perfect match.

Suddenly, a warm round of applause resounded throughout the place.

-Did you see the way Senor Duran looked at Diana just now? It's like looking at the woman you love!

How sweet! If I could be seen like that, I'd like to swoon!

-I imagine the two of you are already together? Otherwise, how can it be so sweet and tacit? And

they're dancing together as if no one is watching in a public place like this.

-Yes, Mr. Duran would never do something like this before, but once Diana returned to China, how

many things did Mr. Duran do that he had not done before? This is love, isn't it?

***

Amidst the loud applause there was also constant chatter like this, Mariana was standing behind the

crowd, hidden in the darkness, watching the two people smiling at each other in the arena. Her gaze

was trembling and a cracking sound came from her heart. It was as if something had broken sadly

among so much laughter, and the pieces were scattered on the ground, very desolate.

At that moment, Ana Lopez's surprised voice suddenly reached his ears,

-Mari, this dress you're wearing is so pretty! And it feels super right for you, like it was made to fit you!

The corners of her mouth barely curved into a smile as Mariana looked at Ana gathered around her in

amazement and spoke bitterly.

-How can this be?

At that moment, Diana, who was standing in the middle of the crowd and surrounded by people, also

saw the red figure, and the smile on her face stopped for a moment, before returning to normal.

But the ferocity in her eyes could not be hidden, buried deep in her heart. Diana looked calmly at Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Leopoldo, who was standing beside her, pursed her lips and finally said nothing.

That red dress was one of the first creations of Leopoldo's mother. She had wished for it at the time

and had secretly mentioned it several times, but Leopold had not given it to her in the end.

What was the situation now?

There was a slight uneasiness in her heart, with a different meaning, Diana did her best to suppress

the complicated thoughts in her mind, but her cheeks still had a smile on them. Such a contrast caused

her face to distort slightly.

The people who had gathered around Diana to pay her compliments were startled to see her like this,

so they casually found an excuse and excused themselves to leave.

After a last glance at the place, Mariana pushed Ana, who was still talking noisily about the design of

this dress on her, aside and left.

However, the man who had not spoken from the beginning, but only stood next to Diana, saw the red

dress with a special meaning on Mariana's body, with a color like light.

The cold eyes flashed very quickly. Leopold pursed his thin lips, his heart was also a little restless.

Sitting back in a corner with Ana, Mariana dismissed the complicated thoughts that had just arisen and

her eyes darkened.

-Mari, this dress you are wearing is very well designed, isn't it? It's perfect, the color, the cut and the

combination are perfect, there's not the slightest incongruity, it's incredible!

Most designs tended to be flawed and, after repeated revisions, lacked some creative ideas and

eventually became ordinary.

However, Mariana's dress seemed to be the only attempt made under the inspiration, and it was

completed in one go, how could it not surprise people?

However, the next moment, seeing some small details in her, Ana's eyes trembled slightly. Her

eyebrows furrowed slightly, with a puzzled, somewhat confused look.

-Mari, where did you get this dress?

Hearing this, his eyes grew dazed, but seeing the look of love and admiration on Anne's face, he

spoke,

-This is the dress Xavier gave me for emergencies, weren't you present at the time?

Hearing this, the confusion in Ana's eyes intensified. She raised her head, looked at Mariana and said

softly.

-Mari, don't you think that the design of this dress does not seem to be a piece from this century, but

rather from the last century? And it is likely that the designer is also constantly innovating, being

influenced by western culture.

Her eyes trembled slightly, and Mariana also unconsciously lowered her head, taking a closer look at

the dress on her body. The stitching used in the sewing was indeed not as produced now.

-Mari, you also know that I really like a designer, although she left a long time ago, but her short design

career still existed brilliantly. I have collected some photos about her works, there is one in which the

stitching is extremely similar to this one, so I think, this dress ...

Before they finished, she was interrupted by a cold voice behind them, Mariana and Ana turned

suddenly and saw Diana with her hands clasped over her chest and a sullen face.

-Mariana's dress is very pretty.
