A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

The liveliness in the hall was no less intense; it was a disguised social gathering, and for smaller families looking to get closer to established families, this kind of banquet was the best opportunity.

Wu Lina's father, Wu Hai, wants to get a permanent position, and today is the best opportunity.

He searched everywhere for Wu Lina, hoping to use her to curry favor, but he couldn't find her anywhere in the entire hall. He felt uncomfortable and also harbored some resentment towards his spoiled daughter.

Chen Jianming, the deputy general manager of Luo's Group, was a veteran of the group. Standing there, he was surrounded by dignitaries and powerful figures from all over the world.

Wu Hai didn't think he was thick-skinned enough to be so bold as to approach and strike up a conversation. With the deputy mayor here, he seemed even more insignificant.

"The executive officer has arrived..."

A gasp rippled through the crowd, who quickly made way for them. Chen Li and his companions upstairs, upon receiving the news, were both amused and exasperated.

"Good grief, those two sneaked out for a stroll, leaving the rest of us like idiots."

Lin Ran was speechless. "You're the only idiot. Don't drag me into this. Did you two go abroad to use the restroom? And you were gone for an hour? Use your brain..."

Wen Qing, who was watching from the sidelines, was unhappy. Her long, narrow eyeliner was alluring, and her fox-like eyes shone brightly. "Brother Lin Ran, you're not allowed to bully my little Lili..."

"That's right, they're bullying me."

With a powerful backer, Chen Li straightened his back.

Lin Ran "..."

Gu Baisheng almost laughed himself silly. He pulled the speechless Lin Ran away first, and the two of them slowly got up and went downstairs together.

Luo Yunqi and Xu Shuli walked side by side. The latter's skirt was too long, but every step she took was extremely steady. Her long skirt fluttered, and her silver-white high heels outlined her slender legs. She had an ethereal temperament and delicate features. Standing next to Luo Yunqi, everyone could only think of two words.

Perfect match.

Their family backgrounds are a perfect match, their temperaments are a perfect match, and their looks are a perfect match.

Everyone thought they were a match made in heaven.

To accommodate Xu Shuli's pace, Luo Yunqi slowed down, and the two walked in through the side hall door, facing countless eyes, to carry out the last activity of the night.

The closing dance is a sign of respect and etiquette for the entire banquet. The first dance at the beginning and the first dance at the end should be chosen and led by the main character of the banquet. However, from beginning to end, Luo Yunqi only had eyes for Xu Shuli.

No matter how well others practiced their dancing in secret, they had no use for it at this moment.

Chen Jianming glanced at Luo Yunqi and, after receiving permission, went on stage to explain the final procedure.

The wine glasses were put down and taken away, and Chen Li and the others also went over. "Well done, you went out without taking us with you."

Wen Qing pouted, "Yaoyao, I took three days off and canceled a variety show and an advertisement just to come and spend time with you. Now you don't even take me with you when you go out to play."

Xu Shuli was both annoyed and amused. "Big star, are you sure you took time off specifically to be with me? Besides, when has our Miss Wen ever limited her leave to just a few days?"

Unable to win an argument with Xu Shuli, Wen Qing resorted to coquettishness and pouting, cuddling with Xu Shuli for a while. Meanwhile, Ji Chen and Wu Lina, hidden in the crowd, watched them with gloomy expressions.

Ji Chen: This is the first time I've thought Xu Shuli is so beautiful. Seeing her radiant smile, I was quite shocked and amazed.

Wu Lina was practically grinding her teeth to powder. If only she were the one dancing with Luo Yunqi, then everyone in the capital would know that she was the young mistress of the Luo family.

This dance directly cemented her status as the wife of the CEO of the Luo Group.

"If you two don't come back soon, I'm going to be driven crazy by these two lovey-dovey little couples."

Lin Ran was speechless, his hands in his pockets. Among them, Lin Ran was the most carefree. He had an older brother and, as the young master of the Lin family, he had been carefree since childhood and had never had to worry about anything.

Gu Baisheng patted his shoulder, "Come on, calm down. As the eldest brother, we should be more considerate of our younger siblings."

The scene was quite harmonious. This group of people had automatically formed a separate group, the young masters and ladies of the five great families, and were separated from the others.

Even now, as they stand and chat, no one will casually approach them to strike up a conversation; they have no right to do so, nor would they dare to.

The music flowed out gently, the beautiful music of violin and piano resounding throughout the banquet hall. The professional orchestra performed, and every note was exquisite.

"The G minor prelude is quite suitable for this scene."

Xu Shuli smiled, her eyebrows and eyes relaxed, looking gentle and beautiful.

"Yaoyao, you taught me my first dance, now it's your turn to see the results."

Xu Shuli started learning various dances from a young age. She has a graceful figure and good posture. Luo Yunqi was interested in her when he was young and always asked Xu Shuli to teach him. Later, when he learned that every successor of the group had to dance this opening and closing dance, he pestered Xu Shuli to teach him even more.

It can be said that no one knew this opening and closing dance better than Xu Shuli, and no one was more excited than Luo Yunqi.

Luo Yunqi bent down, extending his large, well-defined hand in front of her, while placing his other hand behind his back—a classic invitation gesture.

"it is good."

Just as Xu Shuli was about to put her hand on his, a hand suddenly reached out from the side.

"Shuli, I'd also like to ask you to dance this dance."

An endless silence spread out, and Chen Li and Gu Baisheng looked up.

Ji Chen's hand was still wrapped in bandages. He was already good-looking, and he had specially styled his hair and dressed for today, so he was pleasing to the eye when standing together.

Luo Yunqi slowly straightened up. Their position was already higher than the ground below, a small railing-covered hill. Since they were all prominent figures, many people were distracted and observing.

As soon as Ji Chen appeared, he drew the attention of the onlookers.

"I know my eyesight was bad for a while, I even went blind, and I let you down. I wonder if you can give me a chance to make amends and let me be your fiancé again..."

With a sudden "whoosh," the entire audience was stunned. Someone recognized him as Ji Chen, the young master of the Ji family who had recently broken off his engagement with Xu Shuli...

What did he just say? He wants to win Xu Shuli back?

"I'm so scared! Old Luo's eyes look like he's going to eat me alive!"

Chen Li dodged to the side, and Wen Qing's eyes widened. This scumbag still wanted to win back her little sister?

Gu Baisheng and Lin Ran were relieved that Xu, the devilish king, had left first, otherwise they would have smashed a bottle at Ji Chen if they saw him.

"Ji Chen, what right do you have to say that? Who gave you the audacity?"

His eyes were cold and menacing, his clear voice suppressed anger, and his eyes were pure black, filled with a fierce aura, as if the person in front of him was already dead.

Ji Chen's legs almost went weak under the pressure of his imposing aura, but he couldn't afford to lose face under the gaze and pressure of everyone present.

He considered himself good-looking. Although his family background couldn't compare to the Luo family, at least his family wasn't as complicated. Xu Shuli hated trouble and complexity the most, and besides, they had been engaged for three years, so their feelings for each other still existed.

"Shuli, will you be my dance partner?"
