"I'm busy, but I feel it's not appropriate for you to attend this kind of occasion alone."
Li Susu's displeasure vanished with Shang Yan's words. She took Shang Yan's arm and said with a happy expression, "Ah Yan, you are so good to me."
Yu Sheng stared blankly at the two people in front of her, who looked like a couple deeply in love.
Didn't Li Susu say that she and Shang Yan were only pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend?
Could it be that... their current loving and happy appearance is also an act?
Is this really acting?
If so, then their acting skills are both superb.
Even if it wasn't acting, what does it have to do with her?
Just then, an inexplicable sense of unease welled up from the depths of her heart.
She clenched her hands, which were hanging by her sides, and said, "Brother, Sister Su, there are some of my friends over there. I'll go over and say hello."
After responding in a nonchalant tone, Shang Yan walked to the side.
As she turned and took a step, she heard Li Susu say with a smile, "Why are you wearing white today?"
"Isn't it good-looking?" Shang Yan asked.
"It's not that it looks bad, it's just that I'm wearing the same outfit as Gu Ye."
"Yeah?"
"Most of your clothes are dark-colored; this is the first time I've seen you wear light colors, so I didn't recognize you at first..."
The sudden commotion drowned out Li Susu's voice and Shang Yan's reply. Yu Sheng didn't know how he answered, but that was also why she hadn't recognized him earlier.
Let alone Li Susu, even she, who had known him for ten years, was seeing Shang Yan in a white suit for the first time. She was used to seeing him in dark colors, so she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Gu Ye has a gentle aura, and white suits his temperament perfectly, making him look like a prince from a fairy tale.
Shang Yan had a strong aura, but the soft white color softened it, making him seem more approachable. It was also possible that the mask he wore concealed his aura.
Thinking of the masks, Yu Sheng suddenly realized that he was wearing a golden mask, while Gu was wearing a white mask. Fortunately, the masks were different, otherwise it would have been easy to mistake them for each other if they were wearing the same clothes.
She was quite hungry, but when she stood in front of the table looking at the dazzling array of food, she suddenly lost her appetite.
After looking around, he finally picked up a piece of cheesecake and hid in a secluded corner to eat it in small bites.
She planned to finish the cake, say goodbye to Gu Ye, and then leave.
Before she had even finished her cake, she heard Li Siyan's voice coming through the microphone: "Thank you all for coming to my birthday party..."
Yu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Siyan standing on the stage with a microphone in her hand.
"Now, I hereby declare the ball officially open. You are free to choose your dance partners. I hope you have a great time tonight."
After Li Siyan finished speaking, the lights in the banquet hall changed from incandescent bulbs to an ambiguous color scheme that created a very atmospheric ambiance.
The changing lights and the playing dance music stirred the hearts of the men and women present.
With masks in place, everyone was more relaxed than usual.
Many men have started inviting women onto the dance floor.
The sudden change in light caught Yu Sheng off guard, and she squinted as she searched for Gu Ye's figure.
Because both Gu Ye and Shang Yan were wearing white dresses, she made sure to remind herself not to look for the wrong one while searching.
She frowned and searched intently for a while before finally spotting a man in a white tuxedo.
The man was talking to someone with his back to her. She couldn't see the mask on his face and wasn't sure if he was Gu Ye, so she didn't get up rashly.
It wasn't until the man turned around and spoke to the man next to him that she saw he was wearing a white mask, and then she realized—he was Gu Ye!
So she put down the cake she hadn't finished eating, got up, and walked over.
During this time, several men asked her to dance, but she refused them all.
When she walked up to Gu Ye, Gu Ye was still talking to those people with his back to her.
"Gu Ye—"
She called out, and Gu Ye turned around.
"I'll go first..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Ye took her hand and led her towards the dance floor.
He took long strides, and she had to jog to keep up, her high heels making a crisp 'clack-clack-clack' sound on the marble floor.
His intentions were obvious, but Yu Sheng had no interest in dancing with him. When he stopped and looked at her, she said, "Gu Ye, I'm a little tired. I'll go back first."
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but before she could take a step, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, placing her hand on her shoulder, one arm around her slender waist, and the other lifting her other hand into the air, leading her in a graceful dance on the dance floor...
