Out of control and sinking

But this year is different.

This year, Bo Ye not only stayed in Beijing for the Spring Festival, but also spent it with her.

Bo Ye promised her that he would attend the annual meeting and spend New Year's Eve with her.

Moreover, after the annual meeting, I will accompany her to watch the fireworks at the tallest building in Beijing.

They've been together for over three years, and this year has been the happiest year Jiang Ruan has ever had—a happiness she's never experienced before.

It felt as if she wasn't the only one in the world, that he was by her side.

Holding his hand in hers, Jiang Ruan felt warm inside, no matter how cold it was outside.

So Jiang Ruan was in a good mood throughout the year before the Lunar New Year.

She always has a smile on her face.

Before we knew it, it was time for the annual meeting.

After all, it was a grand banquet in the capital, and the attendees were all prominent figures in their respective fields.

Jiang Ruan naturally couldn't dress too simply.

Before the annual meeting, Sister Qin recommended a bunch of haute couture dresses from various brands, with all kinds of styles, from pure and charming to infinitely luxurious.

In the end, Jiang Ruan chose a dark blue fishtail dress. She had a great figure, and the fishtail made her look both pure and feminine.

Standing in front of the mirror, her assistants were busy adjusting her dress.

Jiang Ruan looked at herself in the mirror, her hair styled in an updo, wearing a small sapphire crown, looking noble and elegant, with her red lips curving upwards.

"Sister Jiang Ruan, this dress is simply tailor-made for you."

"Yes, yes, it's so beautiful."

"And your skin is so fair, it's incredibly fair even without any products, it's practically like snow-white skin."

"Yeah yeah."

They praised and flattered her as if she had become a fairy.

Jiang Ruan's cheeks flushed, and she joked with a smile, "If you keep praising me, I'll ascend to heaven and fly away."

Everyone laughed.

After two hours of struggling.

Jiang Ruan's back was aching, but her look for tonight was finally all done.

Sister Qin pushed the door open and came in: "How is it, baby? Are you done with your makeup?"

"We'll be setting off in half an hour."

Makeup assistant: "Okay, Sister Qin."

When Sister Qin saw Jiang Ruan in front of the dressing mirror, her eyes lit up instantly. She exclaimed in amazement, "Beautiful! Honey, this dress suits you perfectly!"

A deep blue fishtail pendant adorned with diamonds.

It is very luxurious and beautiful.

And this color suits Jiang Ruan perfectly!
Sister Qin praised without reservation: "Tonight, you will definitely outshine everyone else!"

And this is indeed the case.

From the moment Jiang Ruan stepped off the car on the red carpet, the screams from the crowd never stopped.

Until she signed her name and went into the hotel.

That's why I couldn't hear the sounds behind me.

The hotel was luxurious, and everyone coming and going was a beautiful and handsome man or woman dressed to the nines.

Jiang Ruan greeted several acquaintances.

I also drank some red wine.

Finally, the banquet began.

With a "whoosh," the lights shone on the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our banquet."

The host, holding the microphone, rattled off a long string of colloquial phrases.

Then we got to the main point: "The first activity of the day."

"That's our opening dance."

"But this year's opening dance is different from the previous ones. We will have a mystery guest today. Can you guess who it is?"

The host laughed and said, "Just a reminder, he's one of the most handsome and talented men in the entire capital, a well-known figure on the list, and currently single."

These words sparked various speculations among the crowd.

"Who?"

"A golden man, with both good looks and ability."

Someone jokingly remarked, "Aren't all of us here good-looking and capable men?"

This caused everyone to burst into laughter.

At that moment, someone boldly shouted out.

"Bo Ye!"

Then, the host's excited voice rang out.
