Upon hearing this, Long Yuqing furrowed her brows and instinctively looked at Qin Ruong. She knew the person Ye Tianfan was referring to was Qin Ruong. However, according to the information Long Yuqing had, although Ye Tianfan and Qin Ruong were engaged, their relationship hadn't progressed substantially. Moreover, earlier at the Celestial Dragon Restaurant, the flirtation between Long Yuqing and Ye Tianfan was far more intense than this dance. Therefore, Long Yuqing thought just a dance shouldn't be sothing Ye Tianfan would refuse. But, as if Ye Tianfan had already sensed her intentions, he actually declined her offer politely!
This left Long Yuqing feeling sowhat disappointed, as the little sches she had been secretly calculating in her heart seed to be coming to nothing.
Just then, under the gaze of everyone in the ballroom, Ye Tianfan gracefully walked over to Qin Ruong. Seeing her forcing back tears, Ye Tianfan gave a gentle smile, lifted his hand, and amorously caressed Qin Ruong's cheek, then unabashedly held her delicate jade hand. In the most gentlemanly manner, he lightly kissed the back of her hand and said, "Miss Qin, would you be so kind as to honor with a dance?"
The mont Ye Tianfan's lips kissed the back of Qin Ruong's hand, she was utterly stunned, her delicate body trembling with disbelief at everything before her!
To outsiders, Qin Ruong was the high-and-mighty heiress of the Qin Group. Yet, who would have thought that in the relationship between Qin Ruong and Ye Tianfan, she was actually the weaker one, while Ye Tianfan was truly the one on the higher ground?
Qin Ruong had been with Ye Tianfan for four years, going through their entire college life together. During those four years, Qin Ruong had tried hard on Ye Tianfan, using both soft and hard tactics, yet no matter how much charm Qin Ruong exuded, Ye Tianfan remained unmoved, like a solid rock!
Qin Ruong couldn't discern Ye Tianfan's thoughts or understand the destiny he bore. As the proud Miss of the Qin Family, facing her fiancé's attitude, though aggrieved, she could only swallow her grievances, for she was Qin Ruong! She was the future successor of the Qin Group, and such an identity forbade her from showing even the slightest weakness in front of outsiders, not even a little bit!
Originally, Qin Ruong had ntally prepared herself since this was a charity ball. Even if Long Yuqing invited Ye Tianfan to dance, it would have been normal. Although Qin Ruong found it unacceptable, outsiders would not understand the reasons behind it. As the heiress of the Qin Group, Qin Ruong had to pay attention to her influence on the outside world. Moreover, the guests at this charity ball were all business moguls, so no matter what Long Yuqing did with Ye Tianfan today, Qin Ruong could only suppress her grievances.
Yet now, in the ballroom filled with business magnates, Ye Tianfan decisively rejected Long Yuqing's invitation to dance. Moreover, he invited Qin Ruong in front of everyone with the highest etiquette. This instantly brought a thick warmth to Qin Ruong's heart, and her eyes welled up with a thin mist.
Seeing Qin Ruong slightly dazed, Ye Tianfan showed a warm smile and said, "What's the matter? Is Miss Qin unwilling to honor ?"
Hearing these words, Qin Ruong seed to wake from a dream. She smiled and said, "I'm quite flattered that you've invited . How could I not honor you?"
As she spoke, Qin Ruong placed her hand on Ye Tianfan's shoulder, and Ye Tianfan conveniently embraced Qin Ruong's slender waist. As the music started playing, the two of them began their dance on the dance floor.
In an instant, all eyes were drawn to them. However, this ti, the gazes contained no jealousy or envy—only disbelief.
The focus of their gazes all coincidentally fell on Ye Tianfan. Everyone was privately speculating about Ye Tianfan's identity. A man who made Qin Ruong feel flattered must be of extraordinary status, either a business elite, a high-ranking governnt official, or a king from the underworld. In any case, he must possess a prominent status. But why was there no information about Ye Tianfan in their databases?
Among these people quietly speculating about Ye Tianfan's identity, only Ren Ningyue sat quietly in a corner, watching Ye Tianfan. At this mont, a mysterious smile ford on her lips, her right hand gently supporting her chin, her eyes filled with admiration, as she watched silently.
"Miss, should we investigate this man?" whispered the man with the demon blade on his back.
Ren Ningyue gave a faint smile, waved her hand, and said, "No need, I've already guessed who he is."
At this mont, the lodious music continued to play, and n and won on the dance floor moved gracefully, enjoying this mont of leisure. But in Long Yuqing's eyes, frost was gathering.
This round, she had lost!
However, she hadn't lost to Qin Ruong, but to Ye Tianfan.
"Miss Long, may I invite you to a dance?" Seeing Long Yuqing standing alone outside the dance floor, n were eager to move and issued invitations one after another.
Yet Long Yuqing's face no longer bore a gentle smile. Instead, there was only an icy, cold gaze. She resolutely declined any invitation, and until the end of the dance, she hadn't danced once.
As a dance ca to an end, Fang Zaitian appeared on the stage, with the spotlight following him to the center. It was as if they had planned it, and all eyes simultaneously turned to Fang Zaitian on the stage.
The entire ballroom suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere beca peculiar. The charity ball, bustling a mont ago, was now so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. All attention was focused on Fang Zaitian.
At this mont, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but frown, looking towards the stage. Fang Zaitian, in a dark gold suit, stood smiling at the center, cleared his throat first, then said, "It is a great honor for that you all could spare ti from your busy schedules to attend the charity ball. Since this is a charity ball, the purpose is to raise funds to help those still struggling in poverty."
As he spoke, Fang Zaitian's gaze slowly swept around the ballroom, then continued, "Therefore, I have organized a charity auction next. The items up for auction are my personal collections over the years. Of course, all proceeds from the auction will be donated to impoverished disaster areas to help those in need. You are all leading figures in the business world, and I hope you can actively participate in the auction and contribute your share of love."
Hearing Fang Zaitian's words, Ye Tianfan narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing the serious expressions around him, Ye Tianfan imdiately understood that this auction was the highlight!
