She did not speak for a long while and Ji Jinchuan lowered his head to look at her. Upon noticing that she was not paying attention to him, he slightly furrowed his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”

 She gave him a faint smile with her eyes shining. “I was just thinking about how everyone brought a date along, and yet, you didn’t.”

 “Aren’t you here with me?” Although he said it in a teasing tone, his black eyes looked very still and calm while his voice was filled with indifference.

 She curled her lips up and remained silent.

 She obviously did not think that the reason he did not bring a date along was due to her presence.

Would someone like Ji Jinchuan care about how a woman felt?

 Besides, they were like friends with benefits where they only take what they needed from each other.

As the music was going to end soon, Ji Jinchuan pushed her forward before pulling her back again.

Her dress gently swayed as though it was a butterfly flapping its wings. Her delicate waist leaned backward with his hand supporting her waist.

The music happened to end at the same time that they completed their dance move. Their cooperation with each other could be said to be perfect.

The people in the banquet immediately gave them a round of applause.

 Ji Jinchuan helped her to stand up before moving away from her.

In response to the audience’s applause, her face was flushed red, which made her look even cuter under the crystal lights.

Some of the people, who saw that Ji Jinchuan had already danced his first dance, thought that he would not reject a second dance and went forward to invite him for a dance.

However, Ji Jinchuan only said a faint “sorry” before taking his champagne and walking to another area.

 Shen Youran took some food and went to the rest area. She found an unnoticeable corner and sat down to eat her food.

Since she had a small appetite, she easily got hungry. Besides, she drank only alcohol for the whole night and did not eat anything yet, so by then, she was already feeling hungry.

She put down her fork when she was about seventy percent full before using the napkin to wipe her mouth. Yet, at this moment, someone sat opposite her.

 She raised her head to take a look and realize that it was that playboy, He Jiashan.

He Jiashan was holding a glass of champagne in his hand and sat opposite her in his neat and refined attire while smiling at her.

“Ms. Shen, why are you sitting here alone?”

 She did not have a good impression of him and, thus, purposely ignored him.

 Although his father was the mayor, his family did not have many interactions with people from the business industry.

 They invited Mayor He today because both families’ ancestors knew each other, but they usually did not have many interactions with one another.

 After her return from overseas, although she was not aware of these rich people, ever since she started working at the magazine agency, she’d cultivated a habit of reading the news. Thus, she knew a thing or two about the mayor’s son.

He had a foul personality, and he liked to idle as well as fool around with women…

 However, as he was the mayor’s only son, Mayor He doted on him a lot.

To Mayor He, as long as his son did not affect his career, he could turn a blind eye to his doings.

She took a little sip of her champagne and her pink lips looked very shiny. She was just about to reply to him when a noise came from the crowd, causing her to look over.

The crowd was in a state of chaos. Ji Jinchuan was looking at the stain on his clothes with his head lowered while his eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

He was wearing a black Western suit, and the champagne stain on his clothes was not very obvious. She could only see a patch of his clothes turning darker than its original color.

The woman in front of him was anxiously apologizing to him while holding an empty glass, “Sorry, President Ji. I am so sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”

 With that said, she placed the glass onto the waiter’s tray before taking a napkin to wipe his clothes for him.

 She was wearing a deep V-neck dress. Hence, when she bent down, everyone could see her full and fair breasts.

She had just touched him when Ji JInchuan moved to the side to avoid her hand. Upon seeing that the woman wanted to move closer to him again, he gave her a cold and indifferent gaze.
