At eight o’clock in the evening, the Zhonghai International Hotel was preparing for a grand evening gala, which would see the arrival of many well-known personalities from Zhonghai.
The gala being held tonight was a charity event, and a throng of people had already gathered outside early on.
A group of reporters had polished their caras and were ready to capture the entrance of those holding invitations.
By evening, a line of luxury cars arrived, and from them descended nurous elegant ladies and renowned n of Zhonghai.
With their arrival, the atmosphere heightened significantly.
“Look quickly, it’s the beautiful CEO of Xu Corporation, Xu Ruolan!”
Suddenly, soone shouted, and everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned in that direction.
The crowd stirred excitedly, erupting into a wave of gasps.
“She truly lives up to her reputation, no, she’s even more beautiful than the rumors!”
“Is she really this gorgeous in person?!”
“It seems she will be tonight’s leading lady!”
The topic of discussion, Xu Ruolan, was walking on the red carpet, dressed in a black evening gown, impeccably tailored, showcasing her perfect figure to its fullest, her hair cascading like a waterfall, attracting the attention of thousands, each movent, each smile, pulling at countless hearts.
Xu Ruolan’s beauty was not just skin-deep, more so it was her deaning aura that made others feel inferior, as she stood out radiantly in this setting.
Xu Ruolan’s stunning appearance captivated everyone; however, what surprised many more was the man holding her hand by her side.
“Who is that man?”
“He looks sowhat familiar?”
“I don’t recognize him!”
“Damn it, how did he rit walking alongside my dream girl and holding her hand?!”
Ning Fan, dressed in an elegant white suit, capturing the essence of a charmingly handso Prince Charming straight out of a fairy tale, held Xu Ruolan’s hand as they walked ahead, drawing the attention of many from the opposite sex.
However, because of his close proximity to Xu Ruolan, he also drew a lot of controversies, and many barely concealed their envy, jealousy, and resentnt towards Ning Fan.
After entering the venue, Xu Ruolan released Ning Fan’s hand, with a slight blush on her face; Ning Fan noticed her reaction and rely smiled faintly.
Inside the venue, those who had already arrived had ford small groups and were chatting, with dozens of servers bustling about, the atmosphere was extrely lively.
Today’s charity gala had attracted quite a few notable figures, including celebrities and stars.
“Miss Xu, I am the General Manager of Ding Shengmao Group, and this is my business card, please accept it!”
“Make way, I have sothing to say to Miss Xu!”
“Miss Xu…”
With the arrival of Xu Ruolan, those who noticed her were imdiately dazzled; then, like a tide, a flood of people began moving towards Ning Fan and her.
Although there were many people, this group evidently knew where they were, and with Ning Fan by Xu Ruolan’s side, they only ca to curry favor and would not dare to do anything inappropriate.
Ning Fan stood beside Xu Ruolan, surveying the surroundings, when he suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him.
Ning Fan glanced over subconsciously, and soon realized there were people he knew at the venue.
“God Doctor Ning!” It was Du Sanjiang and his nephew, Du Dewei, who looked at Ning Fan with surprise and then wanted to co over to exchange pleasantries with him.
“Nine, Nine Lord!”
On the other side, there were also people who knew of Ning Fan’s identity as the Nine Lord.
When Ning Fan saw the awkward expression on that person’s face, he couldn’t help but show a helpless smile.
They all wanted to co over and talk to Ning Fan, but before they could get to him, Ning Fan stopped them with a look.
Under Ning Fan’s aningful gaze, the crowd imdiately understood his intention.
Ning Fan was a person who liked to keep a low profile; a grand approach by them was definitely not acceptable, so at this mont, Du Sanjiang and the others also restrained their impulses and did not co forward to chat with Ning Fan.
It was different for Xu Ruolan, however.
With her high-profile status, people were coming up to fawn over her.
Although Ning Fan stood beside her unobtrusively, he inevitably got so attention, albeit not much.
“Oh, isn’t this Xu Ruolan from Xu Corporation, Miss Xu?
You’re here too?”
In the crowd, a young man in a designer suit suddenly appeared, looking handso and dapper with a smile on his face as he approached Xu Ruolan and extended his hand in greeting, albeit with a sowhat frivolous tone.
Shen Jiaming was the eldest son of the Shen Textile Group, a wealthy second-generation, who had heard about Xu Ruolan several tis in the circles.
Upon seeing her in person, he was imdiately captivated by her beauty.
The Shen Textile Group was well-known in Zhonghai, and Shen Jiaming, always boasting a visage compared to the handso Pan An, was a seasoned player in the field of romance.
Upon encountering the real Xu Ruolan, he imdiately targeted her as his prey.
He must have this woman!
With that determination, he stepped forward to greet her, hoping to catch her attention.
Ning Fan glanced at him and didn’t really care; just another self-absorbed person, it would be surprising if Xu Ruolan gave him an extra glance.
Sure enough, Xu Ruolan just looked at him indifferently, nodded her head, but showed no intention of shaking hands with Shen Jiaming.
Eventually, Xu Ruolan gave everyone a slight smile and then left the area with Ning Fan.
Shen Jiaming’s face twitched.
Xu Ruolan’s disregard was undoubtedly a slap in his face, but he managed to maintain his composure, gracefully retracting his hand as if nothing had happened.
“It’s about to start, we’ll sit here,” Xu Ruolan whispered to Ning Fan, looking at the stage.
Then, they took their seats in the front row.
Sitting together, the two imdiately attracted plenty of whispered speculation.
“Who is that guy?”
“I don’t know, why can he sit with Xu Ruolan?”
“Is that guy actually closing his eyes to sleep?!”
“No way, what’s up with this guy?”
The crowd rushed to express their surprise, all thinking it improper for Ning Fan to sit beside Xu Ruolan, continuously whispering and pointing at him.
Du Sanjiang and Du Dewei, the uncle and nephew, heard the whispers nearby and felt indignant, feeling injustice on behalf of Ning Fan.
“Shut up!”
Suddenly, a deep and intimidating voice sounded, causing all the chatter to stop.
Everyone instinctively looked at the speaker and then dared not speak any further.
The owner of Dragon Eagle Hall, Old Eagle, was glaring at them angrily; they didn’t know how they had managed to annoy this big shot, and while puzzled, they dared not speak anymore.
