Zhuang Nainai’s eyes turned red, her nose tingled, and she could even feel a lump in her throat. She quickly looked down as she tried to regulate her breathing.
At this moment, a voice rang beside her ear, “Zhuang Nainai, do you know how many people are jealous of you?”
Taken aback, Zhuang Nainai saw Zuo Yiyi standing beside her upon turning her head, not knowing when she had appeared.
Her cold gaze was fixed toward the front, and there was a faintly discerning tone in her voice as she spoke, “He’s such a remarkable man, yet he only has you in his heart. But how can you not treasure this?”
She turned her head to look at Zhuang Nainai. “Initially, I was sure that I would not interfere and meddle in the relationship between the two of you since you are married. But seeing how you treat Brother Ting, causing him to be upset and haggard, I cannot sit still and do nothing anymore.”
Zuo Yiyi looked at her, lips slightly curled up. “So, I will not reject Brother Ting’s invitation for me to be his partner today, even if you berate me and call me a mistress or shameless.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the emcee started announcing, “Now, let’s invite Mr. Si up for the opening dance! Who will have the honor to be Mr. Si’s partner today? Mr. Si, please invite your partner!”
When the emcee finished speaking, everyone moved as if on command. Soon, a pathway was made from the stage leading to Zuo Yiyi.
Si Zhengting’s eyes narrowed slightly. He walked down the stage and approached her step by step.
Zuo Yiyi went up to him excitedly. “Brother Ting, let’s dance.”
After she said that, she reached out to link arms with him.
Zhuang Nainai looked at them intently.
The spotlight followed Si Zhengting and shone on the two of them. At this moment, Zuo Yiyi gazed at him with a bright smile. The two of them were the golden couple, match-made in heaven, and they actually gave off the feeling of a pair of bride and groom.
Zuo Yiyi did not miss the opportunity to look back and throw Zhuang Nainai a complacent look.
Zhuang Nainai could only feel her heart ache as if thousands of needles were pricking her heart.
Lowering her head, she wished she could leave this place.
She turned around and walked toward the door hastily. However, just then, the spotlight shone on her suddenly!
Under Zuo Yiyi’s extremely expectant gaze, Si Zhengting had pushed her arm away.
Zuo Yiyi’s eyes widened in disbelief!
God knew how delighted she had been to be able to have the opening dance with Brother Ting in that moment.
God knew how blissful she had been when the light shone on her face after the emcee finished speaking!
But why… how could everything change in a matter of seconds?!
Zuo Yiyi froze on the spot as she watched Si Zhengting push her away and set his eyes on the silhouette that was heading out.
Quickening his pace, he walked over…
Zuo Yiyi clenched her fists and checked the people in her surroundings immediately.
Everyone who was present at the banquet hall, including all the Imperial Group employees, was beyond shocked at the moment.
In disbelief, everyone looked at her before looking at Zhuang Nainai again.
Zuo Yiyi only felt like she was being overwhelmed by a sense of humiliation that she had never experienced before, causing her to stamp her feet on the ground and run away instantly.
Being encompassed by the spotlight, Zhuang Nainai felt like she had been frozen under a spell as she could not bring herself to step forward.
She could almost hear her heart hammering violently in her chest. Then, she clearly heard footsteps coming from behind.
The familiar sound of the footsteps became louder and louder before it halted right behind her. Next, she could hear that cold and low voice, “Zhuang Nainai, may I invite you for a dance?”
