Even Ye Fan, that kid, had been proactively invited to dance by Shen Yan, but how could he, the venerable Crown Prince of Tongyi Group and the leader of Hua Hai’s new generation of Four Young Masters, possibly be rejected after inviting someone to dance? Shen Yan said indifferently, “I meant that I am already tired from dancing, too exhausted to continue, so I am very sorry.” “Excuse!” Xiao Yichen really wanted to blurt out and curse, but he couldn’t. Not to mention that as the leader of Hua Hai’s new generation of Four Young Masters, he could not do such an ungentlemanly thing, even an ordinary man would not do so. “Hehe, that’s truly a pity,” he said with a forced laugh, uglier than a cry. He turned back, immediately met with countless eyes of mockery and scorn, and the sound of schadenfreude echoing in his ears like a curse. “Look, Xiao Yichen got rejected by Shen Yan when he asked her to dance!” “Isn’t that normal? Goddess Shen Yan is so pure and aloof, how could she easily accept someone else’s invitation to dance. If she were that easy, I would have pounced already.” “You can’t say that. Just now, wasn’t Shen Yan the one who actively invited Ye Fan to dance? And they danced wonderfully.” “That’s true, it’s not that Shen Yan doesn’t accept invitations to dance, but it depends on whether the other person is charming enough. Sigh, tonight we definitely can’t compete with Ye Fan! A dark horse has emerged, a shooting star on the rise, too dazzling.” “Hehe, what’s there to sigh about? Even Xiao Yi, the leader of the Four Young Masters, got humbled, no different from us.” “Wrong! We’re a bit better than him. At least we know our place. Unlike some people, who don’t even have self-awareness and are just humiliating themselves.” “Hahaha, you’re right. What a revelation! Cheers!” “Hahaha, cheers!” He stiffly held the smile on his face that was uglier than crying, his fists clenched tightly with tendons bulging as if he were a walking corpse, he returned to his seat from before. Tonight at this party, he had completely failed. What should have been the most shining male presence surrounded by numerous noble and wealthy ladies, he could now only sit on a sofa in a dark corner, occasionally enduring the scornful glances thrown at him. All of this was thanks to Ye Fan. However, Ye Fan didn’t even pay him any mind. At that moment, a woman with a thick make-up like a ghost and a waist as wide as a barrel approached him, ingratiatingly saying, “Mr. Xiao, may I invite you for a dance?” Looking at that face with mismatched eyes, a flat nose, and that short and stout figure with a waist thicker than a barrel, Xiao Yichen flew into a rage. Of course, he recognized this woman; she was the only daughter of the chairman of Yuan Mountain Group, Wang Chunhua. Her family indeed had some money, but she was extremely ugly and rather stupid, always the butt of the jokes in their circle. In the past, at every party, while he shone brightly and was surrounded by countless beautiful and sexy socialites, this woman would not dare to approach him, let alone invite him to dance. “Humph, has it come to the point where I, Xiao Yi, have to keep the company of such an ugly and foolish woman?” Without saying a word, he just stared coldly at Wang Chunhua, who was trying hard to squeeze out a flattering and nauseating smile. “Get lost!” Xiao Yichen snapped coldly and gloomily. Wang Chunhua’s smile froze, and she was almost on the verge of tears, reluctantly pleading, “Mr. Xiao…” “Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!” Xiao Yichen scolded through gritted teeth. Wuwuwu… Wang Chunhua burst into loud crying, covering her face as she ran away. This scene immediately drew the attention of most people at the party, who all uniformly turned to look at Xiao Yichen. “How rude, to actually make a lady cry,” the crowd buzzed with conversation, especially the prominent ladies present, whose chatter was even louder. “Indeed, although Wang Chunhua might be a bit on the ugly and dim side, there’s no need to treat people like that.” … … Ye Fan’s hand gently grasped Dongfang Yunqi’s delicate wrist while his other hand supported her soft back. Dongfang Yunqi’s evening gown was slightly open at the back, and when Ye Fan placed his hand there, he naturally made direct skin-to-skin contact with the smooth, snow-white skin of Dongfang Yunqi’s back, which felt incredibly good. Dancing the waltz with Dongfang Yunqi, Ye Fan no longer went for high-difficulty moves but combined simple and medium-difficulty steps. However, having regained his solid basic skills while dancing with Shen Yan earlier, he still dance extraordinarily well. “Mr. Ye, you’ve truly made a remarkable entrance tonight. How come Yun Qi never saw you before?” Dongfang Yunqi asked with a smile as they danced gracefully and skillfully. Ye Fan smiled lightly, “Just call me Ye Fan. I’m not used to being addressed so formally.” “Sure. Hehe,” Dongfang Yunqi immediately giggled in response, “and you can call me Yun Qi.” Ye Fan smiled lightly, “I was discharged from the military and came to Hua Hai City about two months ago, so it’s natural you haven’t seen me.” “Are you really a retired soldier?” Dongfang Yunqi exclaimed, feeling somewhat perplexed. Aren’t soldiers supposed to be rough and clueless about the artistic life? Why then do you sing so well and dance so fantastically? In fact, during their conversation before dancing, Ye Fan had already hinted that he was in the military, but she had thought he was joking and didn’t take it seriously. However, she was quick on the uptake and chuckled, “No wonder you’re so tall and strong; you give off a great sense of security.” Ye Fan just smiled and didn’t respond. “Are you working in music in Hua Hai City now? Which agency did you sign with? Is it Warner?” Dongfang Yunqi asked curiously. Ye Fan replied calmly, “No, I haven’t pursued a career in music. I’m currently a white-collar worker at a company.” He didn’t seem embarrassed at all by this admission. Dongfang Yunqi was again surprised, feeling it a pity that Ye Fan wasn’t pursuing a music career. After a moment of thought, she said, “I’m not sure if I should say this.” “Please, go ahead,” Ye Fan said. Speaking as a friend, I think you are well-suited for a career in music,” Dongfang Yunqi said. “If you want to pursue music, I could introduce you to either Warner Music Group or Huayi Brothers. Both companies are very strong, and they have a lot of talented artists and singers.” “Heh, thanks for your kind thoughts. However, I’m not interested in music,” Ye Fan said with a light smile. “Why?” Dongfang Yunqi asked in surprise. “Could it be that you come from a wealthy family, and your father is the chairman of some big corporation?” “No, my father isn’t the chairman of any corporation,” Ye Fan said. “My ambitions and interests don’t lie in music, so I naturally wouldn’t choose that path.” “Ah, that’s really a pity and a shame. I thought I was going to witness the rise of a music superstar right before my eyes,” Dongfang Yunqi said with a face full of regret. But in her heart, she considered Ye Fan a unique individual. How many people abandon everything in their pursuit of stardom, yet Ye Fan, who clearly has great potential, remains unmoved because his aspirations and interests lie elsewhere. In this restless society, how many people can resist such temptation? When the dance finished, Ye Fan held Dongfang Yunqi’s tender, white hand and led her out of the dance floor. Dongfang Yunqi, who seemed to have enjoyed the dance immensely, pulled out a platinum foil business card and handed it to Ye Fan with both hands, saying, “I’m delighted to have met you tonight, let’s stay in touch.” Ye Fan accepted the business card and smiled lightly, “I’d like that. However, I don’t have a business card to give you in return.” “Hehe, no worries. Just tell me your mobile number, and I’ll write it down now,” she replied, and turned to quickly reach for her handbag on the sofa, from which she took out an encrusted mobile phone. However, by this time, Ye Fan had already taken out his phone, entered Dongfang Yunqi’s personal mobile number, and dialed it.
