However, regarding this particular dance, I’m afraid all the high society ladies will be disappointed—
Because of the needs of "Rock Youth" promotions, Yu Zexiao, even if reluctant, had to hold his nose and dance with Jiang Xuanqi!
When the music prelude started, the center of the room began to clear. Yu Zexiao frowned, looking unhappily at Jiang Xuanqi as she approached with a smile.
Jiang Xuanqi was dressed beautifully tonight, in a flowing purple gown that skimmed the floor, its satin-like fabric accentuating her fair skin and red lips, her figure curvy and exquisite. Around her neck was a delicate and finely set diamond necklace, with teardrop pendants that sparkled like stars, every move she made, every smile, utterly enchanting.
Yu Zexiao really wanted to turn around and leave, but then, Yin Maohui came over and said quietly, "Zexiao, this is work! The scene you caused earlier—if you continue to be capricious, how are you going to clean this up!"
Yu Zexiao shivered. He was headstrong, but not a fool. The incident just now, where he abandoned everyone at the event to drag Jian Anning to the front desk, had already been witnessed by the media reporters and audience! If he didn’t come forward to clear the "rumor" now, by tomorrow, it would probably spread that he had an affair with his little assistant!
Alright, although he was arrogant and willful, he still had a sense of crisis at this time. He didn’t want everyone to know about his dealings with his little assistant, nor did he want others to speculate needlessly about their relationship. Besides, he had already promised Yin Maohui that in critical moments, he needed to prioritize the bigger picture.
So, although very unwillingly, in the end, he still walked toward the approaching Jiang Xuanqi.
——However, at this moment, there was still another person on the scene.
That person was Lu Jiayuan, standing off to the side.
After some time, the domestic sentiment in Huaxia Country towards Lu Jiayuan was somewhat :
Both intrigued and mysterious. People were eager to learn about him but felt as if there was a hazy veil separating them.
His career started late, but he became famous in the distant United States. Unlike many Chinese-Americans who grew up in Canada and the United States and made films in Huaxia, he was truly a star who debuted and made it big in the U.S.
Even though an American TV series had elevated him to the first rank of Chinese actors, his foundation was still thin. The general public found him more mysterious than interesting.
And Situ Xuan had no real intention of promoting him. To put it bluntly, in Situ Xuan’s eyes, someone like Lu Jiayuan wasn’t worth mentioning. He needed someone to use to break into the Huaxia film and television industry—it didn’t have to be him; it could be anyone else. So, at this time, even though he, an actor from Huasi Film and Television, also attracted quite a bit of attention, he still couldn’t compare to a superstar like Yu Zexiao.
The dance was about to begin, yet he stood alone. Although he appeared isolated, he was, after all, the second male lead, and not a few girls were watching him. However, most of the girls who liked him were quite shy. It was unclear whom he would take the initiative to ask for a dance.
Under everyone’s gaze, he quickly took a step and walked towards a corner—
Then, to everyone’s surprise, he stood in front of Jian Anning and extended his hand, "May I have this dance with you?"
