The music had reached its crescendo, and the movements of the two dancers, no longer slow and lyrical as at the start, had become increasingly passionate.
Many watching them felt a pang of intense envy.
The man was incredibly handsome.
The woman was stunningly beautiful!
The two were a perfect match; if they were to be together, it would surely be a beautiful story.
At that moment, Mu YinYin was like a siren, weaving around the man. Lu SiNian’s eyes were solely on her, filled with an ocean of affection.
He led her in their dance, leading her as they swayed passionately before everyone.
The lighting technician had intentionally focused the lights on them, making them shine even brighter. Every beat was perfectly timed, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Nan Shiqing watched them, dazzling at the center of the stage.
How could this be!
How had Mu YinYin suddenly become involved with Lu SiNian?
She had once been so envious and jealous of Mu YinYin being with Fu SiYe that it had twisted her.
Finally, through her efforts, she had successfully driven them apart. But, but Mu YinYin had turned around and found Lu SiNian!
She was already a divorced woman, so why, why was she still so sought after!
Nan Shiqing was unwilling to accept it!
Her jealousy was twisting her insides…
Wait.
Wait a moment?
Could she still try to stir up trouble?
With this thought, Nan Shiqing walked directly towards Fu SiYe. Seeing Fu SiYe with a somber expression, coldly watching the man and woman dancing passionately in the ballroom, she took a small breath and said, "SiYe… Sister seems to have changed."
Her emotions were low, her voice tinged with sadness as she spoke.
She looked so fragile, about to crumble, as if she might fall at any moment.
In the past, Fu SiYe might have noticed and offered a few words of comfort. But now, Fu SiYe didn't say a word, still staring coldly at the center of the ballroom.
Nan Shiqing had been building up her emotions for a while, but she hadn't received even a glance or acknowledgment from him.
Why!
Why was he acting like this!
She was really on the verge of breaking down!
"SiYe…" she couldn't help but call out to him again. What was Fu SiYe’s current state? Was he getting lost in his thoughts?
Had he noticed something different about Mu YinYin, and now regretted it?
No! She had to keep him clear-headed; she absolutely could not allow him to do something like that!
Fu SiYe’s gaze snapped back to Nan Shiqing. Seeing her on the verge of tears from distress, his brows furrowed, and a wave of irritation washed over him.
During this divorce, Mu YinYin had neither cried nor made a scene; she had even displayed a confident, mature demeanor, letting go decisively and leaving with grace.
Now that the divorce was final, the woman before him was constantly appearing helpless and pathetic.
At this moment, he felt not a shred of sympathy.
"SiYe, I'm so sad. I don't know why Sister doesn't want to talk to me anymore…" Nan Shiqing lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
Seeing her suddenly cough, Fu SiYe’s eyes flickered. He finally spoke, "Sit down first."
Nan Shiqing pursed her lips and walked to Fu SiYe’s side to sit down.
Fu SiYe said indifferently, "She likes to court disaster herself, so let her be. There's no need to concern ourselves with her."
Nan Shiqing immediately shook her head sadly, "Sister… Sister might be too disappointed in us. I, I will definitely find a way to coax her back."
Fu SiYe frowned, unwilling to speak or engage.
Nan Shiqing seemed to become even more agitated. She gritted her teeth but couldn't utter a word, because she could see that Fu SiYe was already annoyed. If she said any more, it would only make him more irritable.
Meanwhile, they weren't the only ones watching their dance.
Jiang Ling gazed in their direction, his eyes slightly deep. If one looked closely, they could perceive a hint of sorrow within them.
Seeing this, Li Chuan finally sighed, "This can't go on like this."
Though not explicitly stated, both Jiang Ling and Gu XiaoQi understood.
Continuing to love Mu YinYin like this was simply not sustainable.
Jiang Ling pulled at his lips, saying bitterly, "Emotions are not something you can control at will. But I won't trouble her. I know she doesn't have those kinds of feelings for me. I just need to protect her."
Jiang Ling said no more.
He didn't want to embarrass Mu YinYin, nor did he want to put any pressure on her.
A hint of guilt flashed across Gu XiaoQi’s eyes, "I… I shouldn't have encouraged YinYin just now."
Jiang Ling tugged at his lips, "In that situation just now, YinYin had to go. Otherwise, if President Lu was supporting her, and she publicly rejected him, it wouldn't look good."
The three of them were still seated in their original corner. At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Lu SiNian and Mu YinYin, so naturally, no one bothered them further.
The group could speak a bit more freely.
As for He Xia and He Cheng Kui, their faces were truly losing their composure.
Lu SiNian’s public announcement meant that Lu Corporation would absolutely cease cooperation with Mu Corporation in the future. This meant that many people who flattered Lu Corporation and Fan Xing Corporation would no longer have any dealings with Mu Corporation.
This was not the outcome they desired!
Instantly, their Mu Corporation might plummet to rock bottom!
What they could do, perhaps… perhaps was to have Nan Shiqing cling tightly to Fu SiYe’s coattails.
Otherwise…
Mu Corporation’s difficult days might truly be upon them.
"What do we do from now on?" Worry flickered in He Xia’s eyes as she voiced her concern in a voice only she and He Cheng Kui could hear.
He Cheng Kui frowned slightly, his voice deep, "At this time, we must ensure Nan Shiqing stabilizes Fu SiYe. Otherwise, we might truly be finished. We must launch a project with Fu Corporation soon to show other companies. Perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, we are done for."
He Xia took a shallow breath, remaining silent, searching the crowd for her daughter’s figure.
Upon seeing Nan Shiqing sitting with Fu SiYe but without any interaction, she subtly frowned.
Because!
She clearly saw Fu SiYe's gaze occasionally falling on Mu YinYin. He… had he not regretted it?
For those who enjoyed it, this dance seemed to pass quickly.
But for people like He Xia and Nan Shiqing, it felt inexplicably agonizing.
This piece seemed to last a little too long.
Finally.
As the last beat dropped, the two separated.
Lu SiNian finally removed his hand from Mu YinYin’s slender waist.
Mu YinYin took a small step back, a polite smile on her lips. In her blue gown, she appeared even more noble.
Lu SiNian smiled at the person before him, his gaze gentle, "Today, you are very beautiful."
His unreserved praise surprised everyone even more.
Could there be something going on between these two!
