Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

The banquet gradually reached its climax, music played, lights flashed, and people danced on the dance floor.

"Yaoyao, would you be so kind as to dance with me?" Xie Nicholas Tse suddenly extended his gentlemanly hand to her, with a look of expectation and tenderness in his eyes.

He Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Led by Nicholas Tse, the two stepped onto the dance floor and danced slowly to the rhythm of the music.

Nicholas Tse's dance steps were smooth and graceful, and he took her through the crowd easily, as if the whole world only had the two of them.

"Thank you for doing so much tonight." He Yaoyao said softly, his eyes full of gratitude.

She is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong and does not know how to be grateful.

Tonight, Nicholas Tse was busy running around, sparing no effort to introduce producers and directors to the group of newly signed artists behind him. He really worked hard.

With his current status, he doesn't need this kind of behavior. It's others who are trying to please him.

"As long as you are happy, everything is worth it." Xie Nicholas Tse smiled slightly, with a sincere light flashing in his eyes.

However, this warmth did not last long.

The song ended and the two had just returned to their seats when the director, whom they had known before and had even promised to give Huang Tao a role, walked up to He Yaoyao.

"Ms. He, I wonder if you still remember me?"

He Yaoyao looked at him in surprise, "Director Nie, what's wrong?"

She didn't know what he was referring to, but she always felt that there was something else behind his words.

"We met on March 18th at the Changqing Restaurant. I was treating my friends to dinner, and you and Chiyu came together."

He Yaoyao was suddenly struck by lightning.

"Are you a friend of Chiyu?"

"Yeah, that's quite surprising, isn't it? Chiyu is on a business trip abroad right now, and Miss He is seeing another man behind his back. Don't you feel sorry for him? Or is it because you were so intimate with another man tonight, and he knows about it?"

He Yaoyao's heart started beating rapidly.

What she worried about most happened.

I know, how could I know?

Chi Yu cares so much about Nicholas Tse.

Her face turned pale and she said, "You won't tell him about this!"

"What do you think?"

He Yaoyao didn't know how she said it, "I hope you don't tell him. Telling him will not benefit anyone. What I can tell you is that I came here tonight because of the situation. It was not my will."

"Oh?" The other person's eyes were sharp, seeing through her at a glance, "I don't see any sense of being forced in Miss He. Maybe Miss He feels that she is being forced, but deep down she doesn't think so."

He Yaoyao's face became even uglier.

Is that right?

She didn't actually feel forced, but rather enjoyed it.

She is so hypocritical.

Or maybe she had never forgotten her feelings for Nicholas Tse, so her heart betrayed her involuntarily.

"Tell me or not, it's up to you." He Yaoyao suddenly stood up and walked towards Xie Tingxuan, who was entangled by several people and couldn't get away. "Xie Tingxuan, I'm tired, take me back."

Xie Tingxuan noticed something was wrong with He Yaoyao, frowned slightly, quickly broke away from the crowd around him, and followed her pace. "Yaoyao, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" He asked with concern, his eyes full of worry.

He Yaoyao didn't answer directly, but just shook her head slightly and whispered, "Let's go, let's get out of here."

Although Xie Tingxuan was full of doubts, he did not ask any further questions. He just nodded gently, took her hand, walked through the crowd, and walked towards the exit of the banquet.

Along the way, he tried his best to keep the atmosphere relaxed and tried to distract her with light-hearted words, but He Yaoyao's mind was obviously not on this, and she just followed his pace mechanically.

Only after getting in the car did He Yaoyao finally speak, her voice trembling slightly, "Tingxuan, what happened tonight... might be discovered by Chiyu."

Xie Tingxuan paused while turning the steering wheel, then said, "Do you need me to do something for you? For example, explain to Chi Yu that I forced you to do this."

He Yaoyao shook her head and said, "Don't make things worse. Don't appear in front of me again for a while."

Nicholas Tse rarely refuted.

It wasn't that he was afraid of anything, but he didn't want to see her upset about it.

In anxiety, He Yaoyao waited for the day when Chi Yu came back.

She originally said she was going to the airport to pick up Chi Yu, but Chi Yu sent her a message asking her to wait for him at home.

She had a bad feeling, but didn't have the courage to ask.

The moment Chi Yu stepped into the house, He Yaoyao was sitting on the sofa in the living room with her hands clenched tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms. She was so nervous that she could almost hear her own heartbeat.

She tried to force a smile, trying to make the atmosphere seem more natural, but she couldn't hide her inner panic no matter what.

Chi Yu's eyes were deep and complicated. He slowly scanned everything in the room, and finally his gaze fell on He Yaoyao.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze and time stopped flowing.

"Yaoyao, I'm back." His voice was calm, but with an indescribable sense of oppression.

The smile that He Yaoyao forced out froze on her face in an instant. She swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "Chi Yu, you... are back."

Chi Yu approached slowly, each step seeming to tread on He Yaoyao's heartstrings, making her feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. He stopped in front of He Yaoyao, looking directly into her eyes, as if to see through her soul.

"I heard something." His tone was still calm, but every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting He Yaoyao's heart.

He Yaoyao's heart sank to the bottom. She knew that she couldn't escape.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Chi Yu, listen to me..."

However, Chi Yu did not let her continue.

He gently raised his hand to stop her from speaking, "I heard that you missed me a lot. At one workplace, you even mistook someone else's back for me and almost made a fool of yourself."

"what--"

Is this what that person said to Chi Yu?

Is it that Chi Yu couldn't bear to reveal his true feelings and wanted to maintain superficial harmony, or is it that his friend couldn't bear to see Chi Yu sad, so he chose to lie?

But no matter what the reason was, at least this storm passed without any danger.

She comforted herself, even though she felt ashamed for thinking so.

"You must be tired. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll help you run the bath water."

His wrist was suddenly strangled. His eyes darkened, filled with more passion and temptation than ever before. "Together?"

If it were in the past, He Yaoyao would have definitely refused outright.

But now, she felt sorry for him and hesitated, wondering whether she should make amends and satisfy him.

But she quickly came to her senses when he whispered, "Just kidding, silly, I can just put it away myself."

After saying that, he let go of her hand and went into his room carrying his luggage.

He Yaoyao waited for a while, and when she heard the sound of water splashing, she had no choice but to go into the kitchen and cook a meal to make up for it.

Where she couldn't see, Chi Yu shook his wet head, wiped the blurry mirror with his fingers, his eyes full of gloom and horror.
