In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

Classical Chinese coming-of-age ceremonies lacked a dance. Even the daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles would not dance in public. At banquets, only dancers entertained the guests. It wasn't until China opened its doors to the outside world that the gala tradition spread to Shanghai, where dances, Western food, and foreign wine became a popular tradition. Later, wealthy Shanghai merchants moved to Hong Kong, bringing this fashion with them.

Fu Ziyan’s first dance as an adult was, of course, with her father.

Fu Qiyuan was dressed very formally, wearing a black satin peak-lapel tuxedo with a white shirt, a white vest, and a white bow tie. There were two straight vertical stripes on both sides of his pants, and lower down were shiny lacquered handmade leather shoes.

Fu Ziyan rarely saw her father wearing a white tie; most of the time he wore a dark tie. He always had a deep, unyielding aura when facing his subordinates. And his father, wearing a white tie, looked even more elegant and gentlemanly, a touch of British elegance.

"Dad." Fu Ziyan smiled elegantly, but her eyes still showed a playful liveliness nurtured by love, and her eyes were as bright as stars.

Fu Qiyuan was graceful and elegant. He smiled and walked into the dance floor with his daughter, holding her back with his left hand and holding hers with his right hand. He said in a doting tone, "Congratulations to my little princess on her coming of age."

When the deep cello sound rang out, Fu Qiyuan protected his daughter and slid, spun and swayed to the music.

Fu Qiyuan's dance steps were as light as the wind. When he danced, there was a posture that made everything in him waltz. He was calm and in control, yet also gentle and tolerant. He embraced his daughter's graceful and elegant dance with the unique agility of a young girl.

Moving forward and backward, spinning around, the music is slow and melodious, and the dance is graceful and relaxed.

Under the dazzling lights, the diamond crown on Fu Ziyan's head also sparkled with dazzling brilliance, as if echoing the brilliant life she was about to embark on.

"This is the first time I've seen Fu Sheng dance."

Given Fu Qiyuan's personality, he naturally wouldn't dance at the party, and no one dared to force him to do so.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Fu Sheng to dance so well!"

An alumnus who works in the British Hong Kong government laughed and said, "When I was studying abroad in Cambridge, Mr. Fu was always the most popular dance partner at every dance, and many people invited him to dance." In fact, there were more girls who invited him to dance than girls who expressed their love to him. It's just that Fu Qiyuan was particularly elegant and graceful even when he rejected the girls' love confessions, giving the girls enough face.

"Miss Fu dances well too. Her dancing is as graceful as a proud and noble white swan."

"In the past few years, Miss Fu, as the student union president, always performed the opening dance at our Royal Academy's annual matriculation banquet. After so many years of watching the opening dance, are we still surprised by how good Miss Fu is?"

"The first dance of the coming-of-age ceremony was with my father. Do you think I can try to get the second dance with Miss Fu?" Young Master Shen's eyes sparkled. Although he didn't have much contact with Miss Fu, maybe this dance could make Miss Fu have a better impression of him.

Which rich kid in Hong Kong would not be dazzled by Fu Ziyan's charm? She is rich, beautiful, has a good temperament, a good family background, and is extremely talented. Who wouldn't think she is the bright moon in the sky?

Those who don’t chase the moon don’t like it? It’s obvious that they know themselves well and don’t dare to have any delusions.

Shen Qingwen felt that he was different. He was good-looking, obedient, and his family background was quite good in Hong Kong. Most importantly, he was not the heir. He had a calm mindset and could marry into the Fu family and be Miss Fu's good wife.

"Awen, are you serious?" His companions were stunned when they heard his thoughts.

After a pause, she poured a basin of cold water on him, "But look, Mr. Lu is already preparing to go up. It seems that your second dance will be impossible."

Shen Qingwen hesitated, "Didn't they say that Miss Fu and Mr. Lu had broken up?"

After the song ended, more people stepped onto the dance floor. Before Fu Qiyuan left, Lu Yan had already walked up to him, smiled slightly, and spoke in a clear and melodious voice, "Yan Yan, as your dance partner for many years, I wonder if I have the honor of dancing with you during your coming-of-age dance?"

Fu Ziyan raised her head and met his peaceful eyes. She knew that he had let it go, or perhaps he had forced himself to let it go on the surface. She smiled and said, "Of course, my royal dance partner."

It was just a breakup, but they still had many years of friendship between them and the old friendship between the Fu and Lu families, so this coming-of-age dinner was just the right opportunity to wash away the ambiguity of the past.

"Thank you." Lu Yan's lips curled up, and like before, he reached out to support Fu Ziyan's waist, and danced to the music when the music started again.

If the duet dance between Fu Ziyan and her father is one of inclusive elegance, then the dance between Fu Ziyan and Lu Yan is one of complete harmony. It is a tacit understanding formed over the years. With just a glance and a hand raise, both parties can follow naturally. This is muscle memory engraved in the dance steps and gestures.

"Yan Yan, happy birthday."

Fu Ziyan curved her lips and said thank you as she walked forward, "Thank you."

After the song ended, everyone dispersed. Lu Yan left on his own, but Fu Ziyan hadn't left yet.

Two figures appeared in front of her at the same time.

"Miss Fu, I wonder if I would have the honor to invite you to dance with me?" Huo Jinran looked at her with a smile, his tone gentle and not rude.

The other voice was Shen Qingwen, "Miss Fu, can I be your partner in the next dance?"

Fu Ziyan's heart sank.

She could understand that the boys who invited her to dance were those who wrote love letters to her in school, but she really didn't expect that it would be a boy from a wealthy and elite family like Huo Jinran.

Huo Jinran is almost eight years older than her, but he has neither an engagement nor any romantic scandals. He is completely devoted to his work and is so pure and unselfish that he can be called her second father. Fu Ziyan thinks it will not be surprising if Huo Jinran makes a statement one day, saying that he will stick to the single principle for the rest of his life like her father.

And now, such a person actually wants to invite her to dance?

Do not!

Should I say that such a person actually likes her?

Fu Ziyan was a little shocked, but she didn't show it on her face.

With Huo Jinran standing beside her, Shen Qingwen's invitation to dance, who had never met her before, seemed unremarkable.

She looked at Huo Jinran, then at Shen Qingwen, and rejected him in a fair and gentle voice, "I'm sorry, I've danced for two shows, and I need to rest."

Huo Jinran smiled politely, "I'm sorry, I was inconsiderate and rude."

Shen Qingwen seemed rather stunned, with disappointment and apology in his eyes. "Then Miss Fu, please go sit for a while. You must be very tired."

Fu Ziyan: ...

What a natural stupidity!

Is this the legendary "stupid beauty"? I didn't expect that Shen Qingli's cousin, a son of a wealthy family, is so naive.

Facing that delicate face full of sincerity, Fu Ziyan smiled and nodded politely.

What can I say? Just nod.

After sitting on one side and chatting with friends for a while, Huo Jinran came forward with a glass of wine, "Sister Fu, happy birthday."

Fu Ziyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Jinran."

"Tingze's bar in Macau is nicely decorated. Has Sister Fu been there?"

Huo Jinran didn't bring it up, and Fu Ziyan pretended to be confused. "Not yet. I've been preparing for this dinner party since I got back, and haven't had time to go to Macau yet. But judging from the Xiangjiang bar, Macau business should be pretty good. Brother Tingze seems to be gifted in running these entertainment projects."

Huo Jinran looked up and followed Fu Ziyan's gaze. He saw Xie Tingze, who was dancing happily on the dance floor in an orange suit, looking like a playboy who was fond of women. He chuckled and said, "He, maybe it's just his hobby."

Shen Qingwen, who was determined to be a "good wife", turned around and saw his love rival, so he hurried forward with a glass of wine.

Ji Shihe, who had a secret crush on Miss Fu, saw Miss Fu dancing with Lu Yan earlier. He couldn't bear to watch them and turned to talk to his partners about the project. After the conversation, he saw that Miss Fu had left the dance floor, so he held up a glass of wine and prepared to approach Miss Fu to wish her a happy birthday.

There was also Tokino, who was said to "give gifts every time he appeared", and he also walked towards the eldest lady with a wine glass.

Not far away, just when she was about to talk to Yanyan, she saw four men of excellent appearance and different styles standing in front of Yanyan:!!!

Ding~ There is a melon ahead, please reduce your presence.
