"Who is this boy? He seems to be someone important!" Ye Qingqing asked in a low voice.
These girls are all heiresses from wealthy families. Men of ordinary status would not excite them so much. Moreover, this boy is of mixed race and is probably from some wealthy family in Europe!
Ruan Yingzi shook her head blankly; she didn't know either.
"Oh my god, Prince Edward... his melancholy eyes, God... I want to dance with Prince Edward!"
"Don't dream about it. Prince Edward's dance partner is Princess Julie, and the reason Prince Edward is attending the ball is because of Princess Julie."
"How romantic! A prince and princess, and it was love at first sight. Sigh... I wonder who Mrs. Miao has arranged for my dance partner?"
"I think they're all great, all the male guests are so handsome!"
...
The girls in front were whispering to each other, but Ye Qingqing, with her keen ears and eyes, overheard them. She glanced at Prince Edward and realized he was a prince. No wonder!
Prince Edward seemed quiet and withdrawn, standing out from his surroundings. He appeared preoccupied and melancholic, especially his deep blue eyes, which were as unfathomable as the ocean.
Ye Qingqing was about to look away when Prince Edward suddenly smiled slightly at her. Ye Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled back.
"The prince smiled at me, and his smile was so beautiful that my heart was captivated!"
"He was smiling at me!"
"Charge me!"
...
The girls were arguing quietly, which Ye Qingqing found amusing. Young girls really do think alike, regardless of whether they are socialites or not.
However, the girls only argued for a short while before quieting down. But not long after, there was a commotion on the male guests' side as they all craned their necks and looked in one direction.
Prince Edward's blue eyes sparkled, and a smile appeared on his lips. Ye Qingqing looked toward the source of the commotion and saw a girl in a light purple dress walking gracefully towards them. She was petite and delicate, but had a great figure, wheat-colored skin, and exquisite features.
However, the girl didn't seem to smile much; she was aloof and elegant, never looking to the side, only giving Prince Edward a slight smile.
Without the girls gossiping, Ye Qingqing guessed the girl's identity; she must be Prince Edward's dance partner—Princess Julie.
But Ye Qingqing didn't know why, she really disliked this Princess Julie. She always felt that there was something very uncomfortable about her, but Ye Qingqing was sure that she had never met this princess before.
Ye Qingqing wanted to wake Pipi up to ask him a question, but the guy had just drunk some wine and didn't wake up even after she called him several times.
Soon it was her and Ruan Yingzi's turn to enter. After passing the inspection, the two of them slowly walked into the dance hall, which was even more luxurious than last time. Miao Tianxiang was at the head of the table, but Miao Tianxiong was not visible; he must have been in a secluded place.
Li Wuming didn't see that the opening dance was a gentle waltz, started by Prince Edward and Princess Julie. The prince and princess danced gracefully on the dance floor, looking very well-matched.
Ye Qingqing frowned slightly. The sense of unease she felt towards Princess Julie was growing stronger. What was going on?
"Strange, Princess Julie seems unhappy tonight. I haven't seen her smile at all. Princess Julie used to smile a lot, and she smiled especially sweetly when she was with the prince. Did she have a fight with the prince?"
A girl's voice drifted from afar; she was whispering with her companion.
Ye Qingqing frowned and looked at Princess Julie again. Prince Edward lowered his head and said something to her. Princess Julie twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled very reluctantly. It was as if someone who rarely smiled suddenly laughed, which was somewhat eerie.
