The dance number finished quickly, and Jian Anning immediately let go of his hand, keeping her distance from him.
She knew that Yu Zexiao was the focus of everyone’s attention. She didn’t want to get involved with him. As for the incident earlier, she had no clue how the media would report it. And at the most important first dance, Yu Zexiao had actually changed partners halfway through!
She was definitely doomed now. If it weren’t handled well and the media blew it up, would she be torn to pieces by the Situ family?
Right now, she hated Yu Zexiao to death. If it weren’t for this irresponsible guy stirring up all this trouble, she wouldn’t be in this mess!
And with her letting go, it became even clearer to Yu Zexiao that she indeed did not want to get too close to him.
Because, if she had really been playing hard to get, pretending to refuse him in private, she wouldn’t have given up the opportunity to show off her close relationship with him in front of so many people!
Although it was hard to believe—it was, indeed, a fact! His history of being invincible in front of women had, for the first time, met its Waterloo!
"Yu Zexiao, can’t you stop being so childish!" She dared not get too carried away in front of so many people, so she lowered her voice to complain before hurrying away!
Yin Maohui and Hong Minjun’s faces both turned somewhat the color of liver. Well, there goes their plan, originally aimed at creating a scandal between him and Jiang Xuanqi—it was now completely sabotaged! He even laughed it off: "Zexiao’s dancing skills are not so great after all. He still needs a lot more practice."
But Yu Zexiao didn’t speak, his eyes continuously following the direction she had left.
It didn’t matter if she ran away. It didn’t matter. He would make her happily and willingly accept him in the future!
-------------------------------------
In the time that followed, Yu Zexiao became unusually well-behaved.
Under Yin Maohui’s arrangement, he danced three more songs with Jiang Xuanqi, and amidst the screams of young girls, he took turns dancing with several other equally famous actresses. After the dances were over, he even "thoughtfully" passed a glass of champagne to Jiang Xuanqi.
And Jian Anning didn’t have any further contact with Lu Jiayuan. She followed Hong Minjun all along, like a public relations assistant, wearing an appropriate smile. Yu Zexiao didn’t come over to cause more trouble. When the media came to ask about her relationship with Yu Zexiao, she just smiled lightly and explained, "I am Zexiao’s assistant."
Their charade actually confused the media, making them believe that Jian Anning was the next star that Starlight Entertainment wanted to promote.
—That’s right, what method was more effective in promoting a female star than utilizing Yu Zexiao’s presence? Amidst the shock and speculation, Starlight Entertainment nervously concluded the party.
As the party concluded, Jian Anning’s perfect smile instantly dissipated. She almost collapsed to the ground, her back drenched in sweat. The gazes of Hong Minjun and Yin Maohui were filled with astonishment and implicit warmth as they looked at her.
They had clearly seen that dance, it was none other than Lu Jiayuan who had pulled her off the dance floor. They had no control over Lu Jiayuan; they couldn’t compel him to stay away from their company’s little assistant.
But what Yu Zexiao did later, changing dance partners, was purely his personal decision.
