She knew very well that if she took Huang Tao to this party and let her meet some producers and directors, she would be able to solve Huang Tao's urgent needs and pave a path for her in the entertainment industry.

But when she thought about being involved with Nicholas Tse, He Yaoyao felt conflicted and uneasy.

However, faced with Huang Tao's predicament, He Yaoyao finally made up his mind.

She dialed Xie Tingxuan's number. On the other end of the phone, Xie Tingxuan's voice did not sound surprised, as if he had already expected that she would compromise and go to him.

"Yaoyao, have you decided to be my female companion and attend the party?"

It was clearly a question, but the tone was firm.

He Yaoyao took a deep breath and tried to sound calm. "Yes, but I have a condition. I want you to promise me that you will help those children, especially Huang Tao, so that she can get some opportunities at the banquet. At least she can start working and have a stable income."

On the other end of the phone, Xie Tingxuan chuckled, his voice a bit playful, "Oh? Are you willing to compromise for this newcomer? Okay, I promise you, but you have to come and tell me in person."

He Yaoyao frowned, but thinking of Huang Tao's predicament, she finally agreed.

She drove to the location designated by Nicholas Tse, feeling mixed emotions along the way.

When we arrived, Nicholas Tse was already waiting.

He was dressed casually, but his aura could not be concealed, as if he was born to be in the spotlight.

"You're here." Xie Tingxuan came up to her with a smile. It was obvious that he had used all means to force her to commit a crime, but his smile was so gentle and harmless.

He Yaoyao nodded and got straight to the point, "I agree to be your female companion, but you have to make sure Huang Tao gets a chance at the banquet."

"Don't worry, I mean what I say." Xie Tingxuan patted her shoulder gently. "But first, you have to practice dancing with me. We're going to dance the waltz at the banquet, and I don't want you to keep stepping on my feet and making me look bad."

Dance practice?

He Yaoyao was stunned for a moment. Did Xie Tingxuan call her here just to do this kind of thing?

Did he really think they were talking?

"Why, dancing is so difficult for you? It seems that you don't really want to help the child."

Seeing Xie Nicholas Tse's slightly teasing look, she had no choice but to agree.

As the music started, He Yaoyao and Xie Nicholas Tse slowly walked onto the dance floor.

At first, her steps were a little stiff and she was obviously not very familiar with waltz.

Nicholas Tse seemed to be at ease. He gently led her to spin and slide in an almost instructive manner. Every guidance was just right, neither too strong nor too gentle.

"Relax, Yaoyao, imagine that we are on an endless meadow, with only the wind and us." Xie Tingxuan's voice was low and magnetic, as if it had magic, making He Yaoyao gradually relax and start to immerse herself in the dance.

As the music deepened, the two people's dance steps gradually became harmonious and smooth.

He Yaoyao felt an unprecedented tacit understanding, as if there really was some kind of indescribable connection between her and Xie Tingxuan.

This feeling made her feel both uneasy and inexplicably addictive.

At the end of the song, He Yaoyao's cheeks flushed slightly and her heart beat fast, but she could not accept her own betrayal.

So her face quickly turned cold, she pulled back her hand, took a few steps back, and kept a distance from Xie Nicholas. "You scum!" She gritted her teeth and cursed.

Xie Tingxuan wasn't angry either. He chuckled softly, "Do I look a lot like someone from your generation now? But you don't have to be envious. To be like this, I've put in a lot of hard work and endured a lot of hardships."

He Yaoyao vaguely recalled that in Dajin, his talent for learning things was indeed not the best, and that he was able to win the battle for the throne among the seven princes entirely due to his own efforts.

Xie Tingxuan looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of admiration. "On the contrary, you are very smart and talented in everything you learn. You just lack someone who can inspire your potential." He spoke with a certain confidence, as if he was the one who could lead her to a higher level.

He Yaoyao avoided his gaze, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that she could not indulge in this short-lived happiness, nor could she forget the promise between herself and Chiyu.

"Okay, I've practiced enough. I should go back." She said with a cold expression.

"Okay, I'll take you back."

Xie Nicholas Tse did not make things difficult for her and really let her go back.

"No need, just find someone to take me back."

Xie Tingxuan saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Do you think I would let go of the opportunity to be alone with you and let someone else take you there?"

He Yaoyao was speechless.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was depressing. Realizing that He Yaoyao didn't want to communicate, Xie Tingxuan tactfully didn't say anything.

But he still noticed He Yaoyao rubbing her arms.

He closed the window and turned on the air conditioner.

The warm air came from above her head, and He Yaoyao subconsciously glanced at Xie Tingxuan.

However, when he reached the bend, he did not lose his focus to meet her gaze.

He Yaoyao looked at the passing scenery outside the glass window, feeling mixed emotions.

She was grateful that Xie Nicholas Tse was willing to help Huang Tao, but she was also uneasy about the fact that she was about to become his female companion.

She knew very well that such a decision might make Chi Yu sad and might even put herself in a dangerous vortex.

but……

She was the one who recruited these people, and she couldn't just watch them waste their lives in vain.

Nicholas Tse silently observed He Yaoyao through the rearview mirror, and every subtle expression of hers touched his heart.

He knew that what he did might not be upright and even a little selfish, but he was willing to bear all the consequences just to be closer to her, even if it was just as a brief visitor in her life.

Arriving downstairs of He Yaoyao's house, Xie Tingxuan slowly stopped the car and turned to look at her, his eyes flashing with complex emotions, "Yaoyao, I..." He was about to speak when he was interrupted by He Yaoyao's cold tone, "Xie Tingxuan, I hope you can do what you said and help Huang Tao and those children. As for what's going on between us, I hope you can keep your distance and don't let me find out that you have any inappropriate thoughts, otherwise, I will let you know the consequences."

Xie Tingxuan smiled bitterly, but ultimately didn't say what he wanted to say.

On the eve of the banquet, Nicholas Tse came again.

"What are you doing here again? Do you want to practice dancing?" He Yaoyao was a little impatient.

"No, I brought you an evening gown for the party. Try it on and see if it fits you."

"No, I have several sets."

"If you don't like it, you can throw it in the trash."

After saying that, he drove away.

He Yaoyao is not such a wasteful person. The dress that Xie Nicholas Tse sent her must be very expensive. Even if she doesn’t wear it, she can’t just throw it away!

But He Yaoyao still underestimated the stunningness of the dress.

It was a glittering long dress with the hem trailing gently, like the sparkling sea in the night, flashing with charming light.

Exquisite lace and delicate satin are interwoven to outline the perfect body lines, which are both elegant and sexy.

It can be said that no woman can refuse such a dress.

He Yaoyao changed into a dress and stood in front of the mirror, hardly able to believe her eyes.

She gently turned her body, and the hem of her skirt swayed, as if every inch of the fabric had come to life and was dancing with her.

She had to admit that Nicholas Tse's vision was indeed unique. This dress perfectly suited her temperament and made her look even more radiant.

And the size fits pretty well too.
