A spotlight shone on the couple dancing in the center of the dance floor, silently drawing everyone's attention.
The dark suit was sharply tailored, highlighting the man's tall and slender figure.
Those deep, captivating eyes were fixed on the woman in the moon-white dress before him.
The woman looked like a shy little white rabbit, and her dance steps were somewhat messy, barely able to keep up with the man's steps.
Jane, who was originally engrossed in the dance, now just wanted the music to stop so she could escape the scene immediately.
The man in front of her, coupled with the stares from the crowd, made her feel uneasy.
Indeed, he was dancing with the future heir of the most prominent family in Dragon City. With such a background and such outstanding looks, it was hard not to become the center of attention.
The heir to this prestigious family has always been an enigmatic figure. Despite being his wife, Jane Eyling feels she doesn't know him very well either.
Yu Yunting's cousin, Zhu Yan, was her good friend. She had heard about his mysterious background from her friend.
I heard that Yu Yunting only appeared in the Yu family when he was 12 years old, and that Yu Lin, the president of Tianheng Group, personally brought him back from Italy.
The Yu couple claimed that Yu Yunting was their youngest son, who had been lost and living away from home since childhood.
No one dared to voice any objections openly, but it's hard to say how much discussion was going on behind the scenes.
After all, Yu Yunting possessed a sculpted, sharply defined face. His high, deep-set brow bones cast crescent-shaped shadows in his eye sockets, and his amber eyes beneath them were striking.
Coupled with his fairer complexion than most people, his uniquely handsome appearance ironically led this youngest son of the Yu family into some rumors that were difficult to prove.
But rumors are just rumors, and no one can prove that he is not related to the Yu family by blood. Since the Yu couple have publicly acknowledged their youngest son, everyone has accepted this fact.
As for his true origins, even Zhu Yan didn't know.
When Yu Yunting first arrived at the Yu family, some other children of similar age in the family made fun of his background, saying that he was an imposter and a bastard.
Zhu Yan happened to be at the family gathering that day and overheard those hurtful words. She didn't know what happened afterward, but in the end, she only saw that the little boy's mouth was full of blood and he had lost a front tooth.
The boy standing to one side exuded a chilling aura, his expression devoid of pity, and a near-manic smile even lingered in his eyes.
Even Zhu Yan felt a little scared at that moment.
As he grew older, this cousin naturally stopped engaging in fights. But the ruthlessness in his bones hadn't changed; he had just restrained it, or rather, hidden it very well.
Yu Yunting is not only outstanding in appearance, but also very intelligent. His parents sent him to the best schools, and he also interned at the company during winter and summer vacations.
After graduation, Yu Yunting joined Tianheng's international business department. With his keen insight and decisive methods, he successfully completed numerous overseas acquisitions. Overseas revenue grew rapidly, financial reports improved year after year, and he gradually gained the favor of the board of directors.
In addition, he has an older brother who is utterly useless, which makes Yu Yunting's abilities stand out even more in comparison.
No one discussed his background anymore, and those around him looked at him with nothing but awe. Everyone understood that it was only a matter of time before this youngest son replaced his elder brother as the family heir.
Many people flocked to his side, trying to curry favor with him. But they soon discovered that this talented young man was unpredictable in temperament and unfathomable in character.
For example, he would be very nice to servants and waiters, but he would always have an indifferent and slightly mocking look towards people in the same circle.
When he's not smiling, he easily exudes an aloof and cold aura. His handsome eyes and brows are always icy, as if he looks down on everyone around him with disdain.
"You really like dancing, so why do you look so unhappy?"
"...I'm a little tired, I don't want to dance anymore." Jian Ailing was lost in thought for a moment, but was instantly pulled back to reality by that deep voice.
"It's not that you don't want to jump, it's that you want to jump with your brother Ze'an."
His voice was cold, seemingly tinged with sarcasm.
Her heart tightened instinctively, and a light sweat broke out on her back.
Jane Ailing's lips twitched slightly as she looked up to meet Yu Yunting's gaze. "There's no law that says you can only dance with your spouse, right?"
"As a married man, it's not appropriate to dance with your first love in public, is it?" he said, tightening his grip on her waist.
To her surprise, he still remembered these things; Jane Ailing had thought he knew nothing about them.
She looked away in a flustered manner. "If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how will anyone know I'm married?"
At tonight's banquet, probably not many people know that she is "Mrs. Yu".
"Of course no one knows. To go on a date with my first love, I didn't even wear my wedding ring." Yu Yunting suddenly took her left hand, lowered his eyes to examine it closely, and a cryptic smile appeared on his lips.
Jane looked at their clasped hands and could feel the wedding ring on his ring finger.
"It has nothing to do with this." She withdrew her left hand and placed it back on his shoulder. "I took it off after I finished texting you."
Yu Yunting didn't speak, but there was a clear hint of inquiry in his amber eyes.
"You didn't read a single message I sent you, did you?" Thinking of this, Jane couldn't help but get angry again.
Anger gradually took over, and the fear lessened somewhat.
"What did you say? Just tell me now."
As the dance music reached its climax, the rhythm suddenly became more intense.
The dance steps became more rapid. Having not danced for a long time, and with her mind in turmoil, Jane tried her best to keep up with the rhythm.
"I said," she bit her lip, as if making a final decision, "Yu Yunting, let's get a divorce."
Let him say it. Anyway, the message can't be taken back, and he'll see it sooner or later.
The music suddenly got louder, and Jane was unsure if he had heard her.
But she sensed a sudden change in Yu Yunting's gaze.
The hand on her waist suddenly tightened its grip, and Jane couldn't help but frown.
The elegant, moon-white gown traced a beautiful arc under the dazzling lights. Jane Ailing twirled in place before finally coming to a stop.
The dance music stopped abruptly.
But he did not let go of her because of this.
"go home."
