With a snap, all the lights in the venue came on.
The host took the stage: "Now, our topic will officially begin. Please take your seats in an orderly manner."
President Xie came over personally and reached out to help Luo Qingyuan to the first row to sit down, but Cheng Suisui cleverly blocked her way and helped Luo Qingyuan herself: "President Xie, please lead the way."
If there was anything else that General Xie didn't understand, he quickly said, "General Manager Luo, Assistant Cheng, please."
As Luo Qingyuan walked over, Luo An called out to Duan Ye, who then lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo An: "This venue looks pretty luxurious. Who do you think invested in it?"
When Bai Tang looked up, he saw the woman who only existed in his master's wallet.
Bai Tang was stunned at first glance.
She looks beautiful in the photos, but she's even more beautiful in person.
Bai Tang was speechless with amazement. How could someone have such fair skin, and their features seemed to be a masterpiece sculpted by God?
Bai Tang quickly patted Luo An beside him.
Luo An turned around: "What's wrong?"
Just as Bai Tang was about to point in Luo Qingyuan's direction, she could no longer see Luo Qingyuan, because she had already sat down, and they were far behind her, only able to see rows of the backs of her heads.
Luo An frowned: "Hmm? Tangtang, what's wrong?"
Just as Bai Tang was about to say something, Zhuo Bufan said, "It's starting, it's starting! Quick, they want us to go up first."
So, Zhuo Bufan, Duan Ye, and Luo An all stood up.
Bai Tang grabbed Luo An and quickly said, "I saw the woman in Master's wallet."
Luo An was immediately stunned: "Where?"
"First row."
But they were so far away that all Luo An could see were countless heads.
Luo An's heart was racing. He was about to tell Duan Ye when he realized that Duan Ye had already followed Zhuo Bufan and was about to walk over.
Luo An quickly bypassed everyone and chased after Duan Ye.
This was just a charity gala, and Luo An never expected that the organizers could get the Luo family to come, so neither he nor Duan Ye thought they would run into Luo Qingyuan here.
But it just so happens to be such a coincidence.
When Luo An ran over, all the lights in the seating area, except for the podium, were off.
The organizers placed the celebrities who fit today's theme on the right and Duan Ye and his group on the left.
Luo An finally reached Duan Ye's side, only to find Duan Ye discussing details with Zhuo Bufan. He was extremely anxious, but he didn't want to interrupt, so he could only look at the people in the first row first.
The one in the very middle of the first row, isn't that...?
Luo An was sweating profusely.
Unexpectedly, their first meeting after returning to China was without either of them knowing.
Mr. Xie always respected Zhuo Bufan and his group very much, after all, this was a fundraising initiative proposed by the government, and he had heard that the people who came were all key figures in the aerospace field.
He was just an organizer, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he didn't care about the celebrities at all. They were just there to liven up the atmosphere for the later part of the event.
General Manager Xie personally led Zhuo Bufan and the others onto the stage: "Teacher Zhuo, watch your step."
While listening to Cheng Suisui introduce the amount of donations to be made today, Luo Qingyuan didn't even look at the stage. Even though she knew Nanxing would be on stage, she didn't give him a single glance. She just held her glass of red wine in her hand, looking very relaxed. The ladies and bosses around her greeted Luo Qingyuan one after another, and Luo Qingyuan responded politely. She was very comfortable in this kind of occasion.
Soon, the host said, "Then, let's invite our representative from Jinhe Company to come up on stage and tell us which areas the money raised today will go to!"
Luo Qingyuan was busy talking to the noblewoman sitting next to her and didn't hear clearly for a moment.
Cheng Suisui was instantly stunned and hurriedly looked towards the stage.
She only had a list of the organizers and major families; she genuinely didn't know that Jinhe would also send a representative.
The moment Cheng Suisui saw Duan Ye, her world seemed to collapse.
Just as Cheng Suisui was about to call Luo Qingyuan, she saw Luo Qingyuan sit back down, casually pick up the wine glass on the table, and turn her gaze to the stage.
Therefore, Cheng Suisui clearly saw that the smile on Luo Qingyuan's lips froze at a speed visible to the naked eye in that instant.
Duan Ye stood still, turned around, and saw Luo Qingyuan almost immediately.
In that instant, the air around them seemed to freeze. Their eyes met unexpectedly, filled with shock and disbelief.
The moment the lights shone on the stage, Luo Qingyuan clearly felt her heart begin to beat faster.
Luo Qingyuan's phone started buzzing, and the wealthy woman beside her began talking to Luo Qingyuan, but Luo Qingyuan's gaze remained fixed on his face.
Amidst the flickering lights, he stood out in the crowd, appearing exceptionally clean and sharp. The twenty-eight-year-old man overlapped with the man in my memory at this moment, having shed his former arrogance. His youthful features had become strong and sharp, transforming him into a composed and shrewd man.
What was that word called again...?
Oh, right.
It feels like a lifetime ago.
The past scenes rushed towards him like a raging flood, good and bad, that strange yet familiar feeling, even the most intense emotions couldn't describe her feelings at that moment. She felt that she could neither see nor hear anything around her.
When they met again after many years, she thought she was prepared, but at just one glance, her psychological defenses completely collapsed.
He has changed; he's taller and stronger, and he's not as easily pleased as he used to be.
Duan Ye's heart clenched painfully, his thin lips pressed tightly together, but apart from the initial shock and surprise on his face, there was nothing else.
