Around seven o'clock in the evening, the Yejia villa was brightly lit, with many guests of high status, dressed in fragrant hair, and drinking wine.

Feng Xuan held her husband Ye Yun's hand and moved freely among the crowd, entertaining the guests in all directions.

On her face was the uniform reserved and dignified smile of wealthy ladies. It looked as if it had been carved out of a model from the upper class and distributed one after another. It was so beautiful that it made her feel tired after seeing it too much.

.

As the protagonist of tonight's feast, Ye Yingning's appearance was naturally stunning. Zhou Yang held her arm, and the two walked down the spiral European-style staircase step by step. The lights were bright and dreamlike.

"What a beautiful couple!"

"What a stunning person!"

Words of praise and compliments can be heard endlessly in the crowd around me. I think those here tonight are all shrewd businessmen who know when to praise without hesitation, so now speaking polite words is so natural and smooth, and no one is blushing or angry.

asthma.

Ye Yingning and Zhou Yang performed the opening dance, and the guests automatically moved to both sides, leaving a large open space.

Ye Jia has hired a professional dance teacher since she was a child to teach Ye Yingning how to walk and dance. Therefore, although her dancing posture is not absolutely perfect, her movements can still show an aristocratic atmosphere.

Under the huge crystal chandelier, Zhou Yang raised his hand and gently put it on her back. The first note flowed rapidly like bursting mercury, brisk and joyful. It was a well-known waltz.

"Satisfied Polka" was a tune he personally selected. He didn't know whether it would suit her heart or satisfy her.

At the end of the song, the two thanked the guests again, and there was warm applause from all around.

Ye Yingning panted slightly. The tempo of the song was a little faster, and her high heels were a bit scratchy on her feet, as if she were dancing on the tip of a knife. At this moment, there was a dull pain in her ankles.

"I'll accompany you to change clothes."

Su Qingchi came over considerately and handed Ye Yingning a glass of champagne. The evening dress she wore was gorgeous but cumbersome, so she specially prepared two sets of short and simple modified cheongsam and mini dress in advance.

The two of them were just about to go upstairs when they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the direction of the villa door. It seemed that a late guest was arriving.

Ye Yingning frowned, stopped, slightly picked up the hem of the dress with one hand, and stood there to watch the changes.

No one dared to come here to cause trouble tonight. Soon, the security guard at the door came and said that President Chong Tiange of Tianchong Group was personally visiting to celebrate Miss Ye's birthday.

Ye Yun was slightly startled, and glanced at his brother Ye Hao beside him. The two businessmen in the business field talked without words and immediately understood each other.

After adjusting his suit, Ye Yun personally walked to the entrance of the banquet hall to greet him.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a screeching sound of brakes outside the villa, and a dazzling silver-white sports car parked steadily in front of the lawn. The driver got out of the car and opened the door. A tall man stepped out of the car, holding up a hand holding a

A square and beautifully packaged gift box.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the banquet hall, Ye Yingning, who was standing on the stairs, looked at Chong Tiange. He unconsciously tightened his fingers and tightly grasped the long and elegant skirt fabric in his hands.

"I don't remember inviting him."

She lowered her voice and complained to Su Qingchi in a low voice. The other party sighed slightly, thought for a while and responded: "That's why he deliberately wants to be so high-profile."

Ye Yingning pursed her lips tightly, her eyes filled with ice, and she was so cold that she didn't say a word.

Tonight, her face was exquisitely beautiful, especially her delicate lips, which were bright red and sharp, as if she could bite off the neck of her prey at any time.

She admitted that she deliberately did not notify Chong Tiange. According to his ability, it would be easy for him to know her birthday and any details of the banquet.

But Ye Yingning just didn't want to comply with his wishes and sent him an invitation.

That's why Chong Tiange deliberately came here. Not only did he come, he also came in a swaggering and showy manner!

Across the crowd, Ye Yingning could feel countless gazes being directed or implicitly directed at her. However, she did not panic, she lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a few seconds, and then raised her head arrogantly.

Facing the owners of those eyes one by one——

Cousin Ye Lanan had bumped into Chong Tiange and Ye Yingning twice before. She was not as surprised as others at the moment, but her eyes still revealed her nervousness. No, besides being nervous, she seemed a little nervous.

Tell people, unspeakable expectations.

In contrast, Lin Xingyuan next to Ye Lanan was much calmer, and was even enjoying the champagne in his hand leisurely. This damn man! Ye Yingning became slightly sullen, because he was too familiar with him, so he had hidden hidden feelings.

She can tell at a glance when she's excited!

Zhou Yang, I wonder where Zhou Yang is now? Ye Yingning searched with some urgency and finally caught his figure in the crowd. And he was even staring at her with one pair of eyes. The moment their eyes met, she

He moved his lips subconsciously.

A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The man in the distance raised the glass in his hand to her and drank the light golden wine in one gulp. Then, Zhou Yang stretched out his hand, loosened his hand, and "pop"

Throw away the empty cup.

She couldn't help but shiver, feeling guilty or afraid.

In the blink of an eye, this uninvited guest had already walked into the villa amidst everyone's surprised and curious eyes. He walked to the center of the banquet hall, looked around, and then took the initiative to extend his hand to Ye Yun.

"Hello, Uncle Ye, I am Chong Tiange."

He did not call Ye Yun "nightclub", and his tone was full of politeness and respect that only juniors can have, as if he was deliberately trying to please.

After waiting for two seconds, Ye Yun stretched out his hand, shook Chong Tiange's hand, and said lightly: "Welcome Mr. Chong to visit my humble home. It's a great honor."

Chong Tiange did not show any displeasure at being left out, and then said hello to Feng Xuan. Because he met Ye Hao and Bai Siyi in the concert hall last time, he also said hello this time.

Then, he squinted and looked up at Ye Yingning standing on the stairs.

That scene made her still feel a little funny when she thought about it many years later - it was very much like a scene in "Titanic".

"Miss Ye, happy birthday."

Chong Tiange did not go up the stairs, but just stood there and handed her the gift box in his hand.

The ribbon is so beautifully tied that from the outside it is impossible to tell what is inside.

Jewelry? Watches?

Everyone stared with bated breath, guessing in their minds what kind of luxurious gift the city-famous playboy would give.

In order to avoid arousing more suspicion among the guests, Ye Yingning finally took it and held it in his hand.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Chong Tiange continued to challenge her little remaining patience, showed her his signature smile, and then made an "open" gesture.

Ye Yingning took a deep breath, pulled open the ribbon, and lifted the lid of the box.

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the gift in her hand, but when they saw what was inside, they all felt a deep sense of disappointment.

There is no dazzling jewelry, no global limited edition watch, just a shawl.

Very familiar.

Ye Yingning immediately recognized that this was the pair she wore to keep out the cold when she was sitting in a small cafe on the street. Unexpectedly, as he said, he picked it up and put it away, and brought it back to the country.

There was a sourness in her throat, and Ye Yingning couldn't tell what her emotions were like at this moment.

She never thought that he had really paid so much attention to her. It was just a one-time relationship, not even a love affair.

True love or falsehood, true joy or false love, it was a little unclear for a moment.

"Thank you. I'm going to change clothes. See you later."

Ye Yingning was about to lose her balance, and Su Qingchi on the side quickly supported her and turned to go upstairs with her.

"Okay. Tonight has just begun."

Chong Tiange's voice came from behind. He stared at her back and chuckled. Then, he turned to look at everyone and stretched out his hand like an emperor.
Chapter completed!
