Edward looked at Rue coldly as he tightened his grip on her wrist. "You're asking me? What have you done?!"
Rue looked at Edward in confusion. "What are you talking about, Edward? I don't understand."
Edward pointed at the loudspeakers. "You're polluting the ball into a night club."
Rue was stunned with disbelief. "What? Didn't you change the music?"
"Am I that tasteless?"
Edward brushed Rue's hands aside.
However, Rue held onto his arm tightly. "Edward, I didn't change the music. I have been talking with my parents, where do I have the time to change it?"
Edward looked at Rue coldly. "Only you and I can change the music. So who else, in your wise opinions, can do that aside from us? Do you mean to say that I asked for this kind of music?"
Rue twitched her lips. Their argument seemed to have garnered quite a bit of attention.
"There's no point for us to argue like this. Let's just change it back!"
Edward flung Rue's hand away and walked toward the stage. Clenching her jaw, Rue began to chase after him.
With a glass of orange juice in his hand, Ziggy smiled and took a sip of the citrus nectar.
"The show has only just begun."
Suddenly, the music turned back to the mellow-yet-beautiful tune.
Edward and Rue stood onstage as spotlights focused on both of them.
The light fell gently onto both Edward and Rue, highlighting their fair skin and sharp features.
At that moment, Ziggy placed a tiny ring onto his index finger and smiled mischievously.
"Coccinelle, disco party lights."
Immediately, the spotlight on Rue turned into a rainbow-colored, neon light like the ones in night clubs.
The spotlights were supposed to be evenly distributed between both Edward and Rue.
However, because the disco lights were on Rue, the attention was immediately taken away from Edward.
Everyone could only see Rue showered in rainbow-colored lights.
In that instant, all eyes were on Rue.
People began to applaud as if they were watching a jester perform.
Edward had always hated that high-profile behavior. So, he looked at Rue — who was astounded — before he turned to walk off-stage without any words.
Rue looked at the colorful lights sparkling on her body and noticed the attention she was receiving.
As the applause began, she slowly broke into a smile.
She liked this feeling of being in the center of attention, especially when everyone present was fully focusing on her.
Rue looked at Edward who had already left the stage. Was this a surprise Edward had prepared for her? What a happy surprise!
She thought Edward only had disgust and apathy toward her, but it seemed like she was wrong!
She was moved at Edward's willingness to put on a spectacle just to honor her!
She should have gotten off the stage after Edward, but seeing the jealousy on other women's faces, she could not bring herself to move.
Tonight, not only was she the wife of the man who was at the top of the world, but she was also the center of attention.
So, she boastfully accepted all the gaze of jealousy and greed!
Rue narrowed her eyes as she enjoyed the light that was cast on her.
