When Zhou Yutong walked into the dance party arm in arm with Qin Nuo, the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and then a wave of whispers surged like a tide.

A boy in a neat suit, his hair slicked back, whispered to the girl next to him in a low voice, "Look, Qin Nuo and Zhou Yutong are together! Could it be that he's become Zhou Yutong's lover? Tsk tsk tsk tsk! You know, according to rumors, he's never had any love experience in China!"

Upon hearing this, the girl snorted disdainfully, a scornful smile curling up her lips as she responded sarcastically, "Zhou Yutong's methods are truly impressive! This woman is simply a poisonous spider like the Black Widow. If she becomes the Qin family's daughter-in-law, I'm afraid the Qin family will have to change their surname to Zhou in the future!"

At this moment, a cute round-faced girl in the crowd couldn't help but curl her lips and interjected, "I really don't understand what Qin Nuo is thinking. Everyone knows Zhou Yutong's background, so how could he be completely clueless? Oh, what a naive little boy!"

At the same time, another girl with a graceful figure and charming face sighed with regret: "Oh, what a pity! The young master of the Qin family is quite handsome, but I didn't expect him to be bewitched by Zhou Yutong."

Hearing this, the unassuming and somewhat shabby-looking young man from a wealthy family standing nearby couldn't help but sneer bitterly: "Humph, if you had connections as strong as the Zhou family, maybe Qin Nuo would follow you obediently!"

In fact, deep down in the hearts of these wealthy young men, they all had a certain amount of contempt for Qin Nuo. They felt that Qin Nuo was too naive and childish, and had easily fallen into the love net carefully woven by Zhou Yutong.

The people around the dance floor watched Qin Nuo coldly, as if he were a clown playing for everyone's amusement. Qin Nuo casually glanced at their faces, sneering inwardly. He knew that many of the people present were merely marginal figures in the family, insignificant, and it would be meaningless for him to interact with them.

At this moment, Zhou Yutong led Qin Nuo to where the wealthy and noble ladies of Beijing were gathered. With a beaming smile, Zhou Yutong introduced them one by one to Qin Nuo: "This graceful and elegant beauty is the second daughter of the Liu family in Beijing! And this pretty, lively and lovely little sister is the beloved youngest daughter of the Li family! And this elegant and dignified one is the eldest daughter of the Mo family..."

Qin Nuo's cold face remained expressionless, with only a slight nod as a greeting. However, these ladies were all seasoned veterans of the love scene, their eyes full of charm. After exchanging glances, they began to praise Qin Nuo in coquettish voices: "Oh my, little brother, you are so handsome and elegant. Come on! Let's have a drink together!"

Faced with such a passionate invitation, Qin Nuo remained calm and responded calmly: "Sorry, I never drink."

Zhou Yutong gracefully extended her hand and gently accepted the wine glass handed to her by a woman in a gorgeous evening gown. She turned slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Nuo's handsome face.

She curled her lips slightly, revealing a charming smile, and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Nuo! Please give me some face! They are all my good friends! Otherwise, when we return to China in the future, I will definitely take them to meet Bai Nini!"

Qin Nuo's eyes, which had been as calm as water, suddenly dimmed when he heard this. He slowly lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes covering the complex emotions in his eyes.

After a moment's silence, he reached out and took the crystal-clear goblet from Zhou Yutong's slender fingers. The glass was half-full of golden, bubbling champagne, and it looked normal. Perhaps it was only half a glass, so it shouldn't be a big deal! Thinking this, Qin Nuo raised his head and drank it all.

Seeing this scene, the women cheered excitedly, their voices rising and falling, filling the entire space. Zhou Yutong took advantage of the situation and reached out to grab Qin Nuo's arm, dragging him into the lively dance floor.

Qin Nuo pursed his lips somewhat helplessly, but ultimately did not refuse Zhou Yutong's invitation. He frowned, suppressing his impatience, and tried to match Zhou Yutong's dance steps, moving slowly.

Although the music and the crowd around him made him feel a little irritated, in order not to spoil Zhou Yutong's fun, he chose to continue to endure it.

Anna chuckled, held Xu Chen's hand tightly, and walked together into the dance floor where lights were flashing and music was passionate.

Before that, Anna had even handed Xu Chen a glass of crystal-clear champagne. Without hesitation, Xu Chen took the glass and drank it all in one gulp! Then, he calmly pulled out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Anna couldn't help but giggle: "Oh my, it's really rare that there are still people using handkerchiefs these days!" Her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, attracting the attention of many people around her.

Xu Chen casually tossed the handkerchief in his hand into a nearby trash can. Then, with a smile that was exceptionally gentle and refined, he said, "What's the matter? Don't you like men using handkerchiefs? Or... do you think I'm a bit effeminate?"

Hearing this, Anna was not angry. Instead, she twisted her slender and soft waist and slowly moved closer to Xu Chen. Her breath was as sweet as orchid, and she whispered softly in Xu Chen's ear: "Whether she is a mother or not, you will know after trying it tonight!"

However, at this moment, Xu Chen lowered his eyes slightly, just enough to hide the flash of disgust deep in his eyes. Although he was filled with disgust towards this woman, he still maintained a superficial grace and courtesy. After all, in such an occasion, any loss of composure could become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

Xu Chen and Anna finished their song, and the beautiful melody gradually faded. He slowly cast his gaze towards the center of the dance floor, eagerly searching for the familiar figures of Qin Nuo and Zhou Yutong.

However, what disturbed him was that no matter how hard he looked, he could not see any trace of the two of them.

Xu Chen suddenly felt an indescribable sense of tension in his heart, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart.

He was unwilling to give up the search, so he looked around again, not missing any corner or any crowd. But the result was still disappointing. Qin Nuo's figure never appeared in his sight.
