Kachak, kachak!

An elite in a black suit held a DSLR in his hands and took successive shots of the couple waltzing on the dance floor.

Despite the incessant flashes of the camera, none of the guests or waiters noticed it.

One reason was that this man was quite far from the crowd, and the second reason was that everyone’s attention was on the pair; therefore, how would anyone have the extra energy to notice him?

Hence, just like this, this man openly and daringly took pictures of the couple.

...

“So beautiful!”

“I really didn’t expect Mr. Ji to be this good at waltz!”

“Indeed, I haven’t seen him dance before.”

“I’ve seen him once. I remember him dancing with this woman before, too!”

“Wow! It seems that he’s found the one for him!”

“Anyone who meets such a woman will surely cherish her.”

“Yes. She’s so beautiful; it’s just that I don’t know which family she’s from.”

“I heard that she used to be Mr. Ji’s assistant and doesn’t have a notable background...”

“Eh? Assistant? Then, will the Jis agree to such a woman marrying into their family?”

“Who knows...”

“It’s best if she can’t! That way, we’ll still have a chance!”

“Mhm! I think so, too!”

“Hur hur! You guys are truly courageous to have ideas on Mr. Ji’s woman. Don’t blame me later for not reminding you that he’s the type to take revenge for every offense! He is truly ruthless!”

“Ugh...”

“We’re just casually making conversation. We didn’t say that we’d really do that...”

...

Under the crowd’s fervent gazes, the waltz slowly came to an end.

Only then did Pei Ge, who was in the man’s embrace, realize that only the two of them were left on the dance floor!

“Aye? Why is everybody gone?”

She blinked at Ji Ziming. She had been too focused on dancing with him that she automatically filtered out everyone around them.

Hence, she truly did not notice that everyone else had left the dance floor.

The man did not reply to her question. Instead, he reached out to scoop the loose hair strands behind her ear.

“Are you tired? Let’s go back now.”

She nodded.

“Mhm!”

Having already eaten lots of delicious cuisines here, it would be boring to stay longer.

Seeing her nodding in assent, the man’s lips curled up. He quickly brought her toward the banquet hall’s door.

Perhaps due to the man being friendlier today, many went to greet them when the two of them were leaving.

“Mr. Ji, are you leaving already?”

“Why go home so early?”

The man cocked a brow slightly but did not reply and just gave a perfunctory nod.

Seeing this, many people perceptively decided not to bother him further.

They merely sent them off with their gazes.

However, while some perceptive people did not bother him further, a few others were not...

“Ziming, where are you going? Home?”

Qiao Jingyun returned from outside after adjusting her mood and moved to talk with the man while sounding out his girlfriend.

Who knew that, when she came back, she would see the man making a beeline for the door while holding hands with Pei Ge?

This caused her to panic.

Compared to others, he treated her still slightly more special.

While he did not bother replying to others, he still answered her, albeit it was just a hum.

“Mhm,” he lightly hummed, not halting his steps for her.

His apathetic attitude made her feel even more aggrieved inside, and her resentment for his girlfriend grew.

In the past, before Pei Ge came into their lives, she had been treated coldly by him!

She was always the most special woman in his life! Now...

She pursed her lips tightly as she stared at the leaving couple.

Just as the couple was about to leave her sight, she reached out to stop the man.

Who would have expected that... the man would dodge her, though?

Her hand, thus, hung awkwardly midair, looking very decrepit and pitiful.

Being the obvious spotlight of the gathering, many people in the hall witnessed this scene.

In their eyes, there was a mixture of mockery, pity, and schadenfreude.

Pei Ge, who was being led away by the man, also witnessed this scene.

While she found the woman to be a little pitiful, she neither took pity on her or moved to help her.

She just kept walking away with the man as though she had seen nothing.

“Ziming...”

Qiao Jingyun watched the man grow far away. Suddenly, she felt that the man, who had accompanied and protected her as she grew up, had abandoned her...

She could not help but reach out her hand, seemingly wanting to catch him.

However, he was already too far away, so how could she possibly catch him?

Her actions were pitiful yet laughable.

Thus, it caused another wave of whispers and ruckus in the banquet hall.

“Qiao Jingyun is rather pitiful. She used to say that she’s young master Ji’s girlfriend!”

“That’s right. Still, she has benefited a lot from being by his side all these years!”

“Indeed! With the Ji family’s help, her family’s climb up the social ladder has been extremely smooth! They truly benefited a lot!”

“Still... Now that Ji Group’s heir has a girlfriend, will his family still support the Qiao family like before?”
