Seeing Dong Xinyu's invitation, Zhao Xingchen covered her mouth in pretended surprise, then pulled her skirt and bowed gracefully, and the two of them entered the dance floor.
There were already several couples dancing on the dance floor, but when they came in, they all gave the center position to them, allowing the handsome man and beautiful woman to dance the graceful and charming rumba in the middle, which was so beautiful that it seemed like a scene from a movie.
While Zhao Xingchen was dancing, he cast his gaze at Ding Qingyan with a very proud expression.
Seeing the provocation in Zhao Xingchen's eyes, Ding Qingyan's eyes darkened and she instantly lost interest in staying at the party.
Even though she had seen through the couple, she still couldn't stand their deliberate provocation. Ding Qingyan felt that she was still not ready.
Su Yi pulled her hand and said, "Look there."
She pointed in a direction.
Ding Qingyan looked over and saw the tall and slender Lin Jishen coming over from Director Wu's place to say goodbye. He extended a bony hand to her and said gently, "Can I ask you to dance with me?"
He bent slightly, his smile gentle and sincere.
Ding Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then Su Yi next to her pushed her, "Yanyan, Master Lin wants you to dance."
Ding Qingyan came back to her senses and said awkwardly: "Sorry, I don't want to dance tonight."
Lin Jishen's beautiful eyes dimmed instantly, he withdrew his hand, and said awkwardly, "It's okay."
The voice was soft, revealing an unconcealable sense of loss.
Ding Qingyan suddenly regretted rejecting him. Just as she was about to change her words, Lin Jishen's phone rang. He apologized again in a gentle tone, "Sorry, I forgot to turn off my phone. I have to go take a call. Excuse me."
So Lin Jishen left.
"..." Su Yi was speechless for a while, frowned and said: "Yan Yan, why did you reject him?"
"I just had a sudden thought and..." Ding Qingyan also regretted it.
"Hey, he came to invite you to dance in person. What a great opportunity! Do you know how many ladies were staring at Master Lin when he came over just now?"
Ding Qingyan sighed in annoyance, "Sorry, I did something wrong..."
Especially when she thought of Lin Jishen’s deeply disappointed eyes, she felt particularly guilty and regretful.

Not long after, Lin Jishen returned to Gu Benmo and Director Wu. Gu Benmo glanced at him and smiled charmingly, "Rejected?"
Lin Jishen sighed, feeling a little worried, "Yeah."
"Once or twice is nothing. When pursuing a girl, you have to be sincere."
"Am I not sincere enough?" Lin Jishen asked back, holding a glass of wine, his eyes a little dazed.
"It's useless to be sincere. She can't see what you do, so she naturally can't be moved." Gu Benmo glanced at Su Yi in the distance, and took a sip of the purple-red wine with his thin lips.
Following his gaze, Lin Jishen saw who Gu Benmo was looking at, and laughed and mocked each other: "You are the same."
Gu Benmo smiled and said nothing.

"He looks very sad." Su Yi looked at Lin Jishen's expression and said to Ding Qingyan beside him.
Ding Qingyan lowered her head, looking very guilty.
"How about this." Su Yi glanced at the adulterers on the dance floor, leaned over to Ding Qingyan's ear and said, "Go and invite Lin Jishen to dance."
"..." Ding Qingyan's expression was a little embarrassed, "Isn't this bad?"
She has never done anything proactive like this before.
"This is not considered initiative." Su Yiyang said with a smile: "You rejected him first, which made him sad, so it's called compensation."
"Really?" Ding Qingyan was still a little hesitant. In her opinion, such proactive behavior would hurt a girl's self-esteem.
Su Yi seemed to have guessed what Ding Qingyan was thinking. He squinted his eyes and said, "If he rejects you, it will hurt his self-esteem, but he is clearly very sad because of your rejection, so if you invite him, he will definitely be very happy."
"Are you sure?" He said this, and he stood up, a little shyly saying, "But this dance is almost over, I'd better wait for the next one."
"Okay." Su Yi was not in a hurry. He stood by and lazily watched the dance on the dance floor.

The song ends.
Dong Xinyu held Zhao Xingchen's hand and bowed to everyone on the dance floor.
There was warm applause all around because the two of them danced so well, it was romantic and affectionate, seductive and loving, and just as good as a professional dance.
As soon as they stepped off the stage, the two female artists brought by Zhao Xingchen came up to them and praised them with a smile: "You danced very well. Just now, everyone in the audience was watching you two dancing..."
"Yes, even Ding Qingyan and Su Yi were watching, and they were staring intently."
The admiration and warm applause strongly satisfied Dong Xinyu's vanity. He felt better than ever before and felt that Zhao Xingchen was more beautiful than ever. After thinking for a while, he held Zhao Xingchen's hand tightly and said tenderly, "Xingchen, are you tired?"
"Not tired." Zhao Xingchen shook his head, his expression equally happy and proud.
I've been feeling aggrieved for so long tonight, and this time, I finally got rid of my anger.
But before Zhao Xingchen could finish feeling proud, the female artist next to him exclaimed, "Xingchen! Ding Qingyan is coming!"
Zhao Xingchen looked at the light blue figure slowly approaching, her expression stiffened for a moment. She tried hard to suppress the urge to ridicule her and put on a fake smile.
Dong Xinyu was also looking at the graceful figure getting closer and closer, and suddenly felt that Ding Qingyan was actually quite pretty.
"I guess he's here to ask for Mr. Dong's forgiveness." Both female artists knew what kind of relationship there was between Dong Xinyu and Zhao Xingchen, and sneered sarcastically.
"Yes, she dressed up so beautifully tonight. You can tell at a glance that she has ulterior motives."
"That's what I said. How could she really give up such a high-quality man like Mr. Dong all of a sudden? It turns out that she was playing hard to get just now."
After hearing these words, Dong Xinyu's vanity became more and more inflated. He deliberately put on a stern face, wanting to see how Ding Qingyan would coax him next.
As Ding Qingyan approached, people around her looked at her with admiration and envy.
Zhao Xingchen naturally noticed that Dong Xinyu's eyes were not right when he looked at Ding Qingyan. It was like a man looking at a woman, with fire in his eyes. She bit her lip, maintaining her outward charm and generosity, and walked over to hold Ding Qingyan's hand. "Qingyan, you finally came here. Actually, I have been wanting to tell you that the woman named Su Yi is not a good person. She is very cunning. If you play with her, you will definitely be deceived and calculated by her..."
After listening to what Zhao Xingchen said, Dong Xinyu felt that she was really kind. Yes, Su Yi was not a good woman, but Xingchen was able to ignore the previous "party photos" because she was afraid that Ding Qingyan would be deceived. It can be said that Xingchen was very generous.
Dong Xinyu's expression was one of satisfaction; this was the typical demeanor of a queen.
But Ding Qingyan today is indeed quite beautiful, so beautiful... that it makes men's hearts flutter.
He seemed to think that he had been too harsh in teaching Ding Qingyan. Besides, she had come over on her own initiative, so he would just forgive her reluctantly. He took the initiative to walk towards Ding Qingyan, his expression was much gentler, but his tone was still condescending, "You know you are wrong now, right? You ruined Xingchen's reputation with the banquet photos before, but I guess you did that because you were instigated by that Su Yi. Haha, as long as you promise not to play with that woman in the future and apologize to Xingchen, then we can still be like we were before."
After hearing this, Ding Qingyan felt extremely cold in her heart. She looked up at the two people who had hurt her to the point of being completely broken and yet still said it was her fault. She curled her lips coldly and said indifferently, "Get out of the way."
The two men's faces froze.
Ding Qingyan had already passed over their shoulders, holding up her skirt, her light blue figure, continuing to walk forward like a queen.
Seeing this scene, all the curious people looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't Ding Qingyan come to see Dong Xinyu? Why did she leave
Ding Qingyan was seen walking slowly, passing the champagne tower, and stopping in front of a man with an elegant temperament.
It turned out to be Lin Jishen!
Oh, there's something going on between these two!
Everyone turned their attention back to Dong Xinyu and Zhao Xingchen, gossip evident in their eyes.
Dong Xinyu was being stared at, and his handsome face turned red. After all, just a moment ago, he had been so self-righteous that he thought Ding Qingyan came to apologize to him, but he didn't expect that she would actually hook up with another man. This fickle woman...
On the other side, Lin Jishen was not so stupid as to wait for Ding Qingyan's invitation to dance. He had already seen her intention. He curled his beautiful lips slightly and took the lead in extending his hand to Ding Qingyan, "You will not reject me this time, right?"
Ding Qingyan looked at his white palm, stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red.
I didn't expect Lin Jishen to be so considerate and gentle. I was a little flattered.
