Gu Yan couldn’t help but laugh, skillfully grasping her hand and pulling her into a ground-centered spin.

This was a dance step they had designed themselves and rehearsed countless times, and this unexpected reunion made their performance even more perfect.

Graceful and decisive, Gu Yan, and Ye Lu, flexible and smooth, struck a sexy, glamorous pose that was spectacular. It incited the surrounding guests into rampant cheers and applause.

Amidst the applause, Gu Yan hoisted Ye Lu off the ground. Their bodies were close, with Gu Yan supporting her waist as she leaned into him. Ye Lu balanced on one leg while the other, a slender spectacle, hooked around his thigh completing their final dance pose.

Their faces were extremely close, even their breaths were clearly audible.

As Ye Lu panted from the dance, her eyelashes fluttered slightly. She looked up at him, feeling as if the world was drifting away from her, leaving only the two of them, and only their time together seven years ago.

Gu Yan’s hand rested on her waist as he also seemed unable to suppress his emotions. His breathing became hurried, and he gazed at her intently.

The two remained in their ending pose, creating an atmosphere of ambiguity, riveted on each other.

It was as if no one could intrude upon their world.

The atmosphere around them became intense, quickening heartbeats.

Many forgot the real identities of the two leading characters in this scene, thinking they were perfectly matched, their performance filled with evocative love, reminiscent of entangled lovers.

"Kiss!" Some young, progressive ladies shrieked.

Ye Lu turned a deaf ear to the surrounding commotion, wanting to remain in this moment, gazing at him, loving him, reminiscing the past.

Until, with a crash, the sound of a champagne glass shattering in anger broke the dreamy atmosphere.

It was Shang Jingchen with a face full of fury, paying no mind to the shocked expressions of the guests and Yuan Jiayin, as he stormed over and ripped Ye Lu away from Gu Yan.

Ye Lu was snapped back to reality by his iron grip, and upon seeing Shang Jingchen’s ferocious eyes, she was taken aback.

She was so enthralled by the dance that she completely forgot herself, her identity, and her intimate behavior with Gu Yan, making her feel both embarrassed and humiliated.

"Let’s go!" Shang Jingchen could hardly conceal his disgust at her lingering glances.

This woman, right in front of him, under the gaze of the public, danced the daring, sultry tango with Gu Yan. And danced so seductively, even Gu Yan was mesmerized, unable to release her even after the dance ended, and kept staring at her foolishly.

"President Shang, the banquet isn’t over yet, everyone is watching." The secretary urgently rushed over; this was a Shang Family banquet, if the atmosphere became awkward it would not bode well for the Shang Family.

Moreover, President Gu is an important business partner. It was very embarrassing for both parties that President Shang had caused an awkward scene publicly, and acted so irrationally, without caring about the occasion.

"Get out." Shang Jingchen roared angrily, frightening the secretary into backing off.

Shang Jingchen straight away dragged Ye Lu away, disappearing from the banquet.

Gu Yan’s face returned to its cold expression, a flash of anger in his eyes as he watched them leave.

Of everyone present, Yuan Jiayin was the most embarrassed because Shang Jingchen, obviously burning with jealousy, had just taken Ye Lu and left, completely forgetting about her presence.

The surrounding guests began to look at her strangely, some mocking, some eager for a show.

"It seems rumors aren’t necessarily true. Look at the extreme jealousy of Crown Prince Shang. Who said he hated this new lady?"
