Chapter 502: Chapter 502_1 Chapter 502: Chapter 502_1 Their steps were extraordinarily harmonious, dancing to the rhythm of the music.
The others had seemingly forgotten about their own dancing, their eyes all focused on the pair on the scene. Their display stirred envy among many, but it was undoubtedly a pleasing sight.
As their dance ended, applause abruptly burst out.
Chu Yifei stood silently, holding his wine glass high. He suddenly remembered the dance he had performed with her on New Year’s Eve. That was probably the only dance he ever enjoyed.
He generally despised dancing, he loathed the insincerity of producing forced smiles time and time again in front of the grand crowd, sparking the so-called fan frenzy.
But on that night, he felt truly delighted.
Perhaps, he was too immersed in the act.
She was Liunian in the play, but he became Yueji in reality. Every glance at her betrayed the palpitations of his heart. As the applause erupted, Chu Yifei was momentarily dazed.
The conflict in his heart was intense, causing him to rub his temples in frustration.
At that moment, Lan Xinhan had already taken the stage to deliver the opening remarks as per tradition.
It was all formalities, and Chu Yifei didn’t pay much attention, finding it uninteresting as he took a sip from his glass of red wine.
Besides networking with the elite present that evening, the tradition of charity fundraising was also followed. Someone from the audience would Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
“Now, let’s look at the first item for our exhibition auction. Mr. Zuo Yi’s auction item, the ‘True Eternal Love Diamond Ring.'”
The ‘True Eternal Love’ ring was quite valuable in the auction arena.
Lan Xinhan displayed a refined smile. Qiao Xiaren, standing next to Si Limo, inexplicably felt his smile to be somewhat eerie.
The host opened the grand jewelry box on the main stage. Curious eyes naturally looked towards it only to see the black velvet interior completely empty.
Lan Xinhan seemed shocked to find it empty too.
The staff member beside him turned deathly pale, not knowing where the item had gone. He had been responsible for the jewelry box, and if the item was lost, he would be ruined.
Being scrutinized by so many famous figures, Xiaozhang was breaking out in cold sweat.
Su Leyong noted that Zuo Yi’s ‘True Eternal Love’ ring had disappeared. Her eyes flicked and she suddenly exclaimed, “Xiaozhang, has anyone tampered with the ring?”
Xiaozhang was so frantic that he started whimpering, his mind getting increasingly muddled.
“Ah, the ‘True Eternal Love’ is the love token between Zuo Yi and me. With so many valuable items present, this person specifically targeted our ring. They must have ulterior motives.”
Su Leyong deliberately raised her voice so the surrounding people could hear. The crowd suddenly began whispering. More so, they were mocking the superstar Zuo Yi’s girlfriend. She appeared rather low.
Zuo Yi clearly had no idea what was going on, his face turned rather dark. “Mr. Lan, please review the surveillance video of the venue. The presence of such people in such a grand event is truly deplorable.”
Su Leyong deliberately shot a glance at Qiao Xiaren, seemingly trying to find guilt in her face. It was unclear what Miss Su was thinking. She stubbornly believed that Qiao Xiaren had feelings for Zuo Yi. Yet Zuo Yi offered her no opportunities. Otherwise, she wouldn’t deliberately try to parade in front of them repeatedly.
What good would being extremely beautiful do?
