Handsome, with an extraordinary temperament and a talent for playing the piano, Ye Chen was a fatal attraction for the women present.
Their eyes shone brightly.
"Ye Chen, you are amazing! I admire you so much."
"Ye Chen, the way you play the piano really makes my heart flutter."
"Ye Chen, let's find a place to talk alone later."
"What's your phone number? Let's exchange contact information."
Ye Chen was surrounded by a crowd shortly after he came down.
These women were incredibly excited, wishing they could pounce on Ye Chen.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Lina frowned, a hint of displeasure on her face.
These women actually said these things to her, Jolina's, face.
"Hmph, do they really think I, Qiao Lina, don't exist?"
Qiao Lina snorted, clearly showing that she was getting jealous.
In terms of looks and figure, Qiao Lina could easily outshine these women.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Lina immediately stepped forward.
The women only realized what was happening when they saw Qiao Lina appear.
Qiao Lina immediately pulled Ye Chen out of the circle of women.
"These people are really something, they dare to say anything." Qiao Lina snorted.
"Ye Chen, you don't need to pay any attention to them."
"It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart."
Ye Chen smiled, looking at Qiao Lina, "They're just too enthusiastic."
"With your good looks and ability to play the piano, how could they not be enthusiastic?"
Qiao Lina stared intently at Ye Chen.
"Don't even mention them, I couldn't resist them either."
"I really envy Ruoxi now. I wish I were as lucky as her."
"Ye Chen, what do you think of me?" Qiao Lina asked with a smile as she looked at Ye Chen.
“Very good,” Ye Chen said.
Qiao Lina frowned slightly, showing some dissatisfaction.
"Ye Chen, you're being too perfunctory. I want you to give me a serious evaluation."
"She is beautiful, has a curvaceous figure, and works hard; she is a role model for women."
Ye Chen looked at the other person with a serious expression.
Hearing Ye Chen's evaluation, Qiao Lina smiled happily.
"What if—and I mean what if—I didn't want you to take responsibility?"
"Uh..." Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Qiao Lina to ask that question.
The scene immediately fell silent.
"I'll give it to you when you need it, and I'll stay quietly when you don't."
"I'll be your mistress, you don't need to take responsibility for me."
Qiao Lina stared intently at Ye Chen, a hint of allure appearing on her face.
"I will be more considerate and better at cooperating with you than Ruoxi."
"Alright, Lina, stop joking around," Ye Chen said, shaking his head.
Qiao Lina felt very disappointed after hearing Ye Chen's words.
"Alright, alright, I'm not joking with you anymore," Qiao Lina said with a smile.
"I was just kidding you."
"You are Ruoxi's boyfriend, and Ruoxi is my best friend. How could I do this?"
"Mm," Ye Chen nodded and said.
Time passed slowly, and Ye Chen emerged victorious in all the subsequent games.
The man immediately invited Ye Chen and Qiao Lina onto the stage.
"Miss Lina, your boyfriend is really amazing."
"You've dominated the entire competition, and tonight's generous prizes are yours."
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give them a round of applause," the man said with a smile.
"Clap clap clap..." Thunderous applause erupted in the room.
"Before the awards ceremony, I'd like to ask the two of you to perform a little something?" the man said.
"What kind of performance are we going to do?" Jolina asked.
"Lina and Ye Chen must be very loving, right?" the man asked.
“Yes, that’s right,” Jolina replied without hesitation.
"So we all want to see you two showing off your love and being affectionate."
At this point, the man asked the waiter to bring two glasses of wine.
"Let's have a toast together right here."
As soon as the man finished speaking, excited cheers erupted from the crowd.
"Cross-cup wine, cross-cup wine, cross-cup wine..." The crowd cheered.
Surprise, delight, and excitement overwhelmed Qiao Lina in an instant.
At this moment, Jolina was overjoyed; this was truly a stroke of good luck.
She knew perfectly well what drinking from the same cup as a man and woman meant.
Although the toasting ceremony shouldn't be taken seriously, Jolina was really looking forward to it.
She immediately looked at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Ye Chen immediately took the microphone and looked at everyone.
"Everyone, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but let's stop here."
Ye Chen's words surprised everyone.
They originally thought Ye Chen would readily agree, but unexpectedly he said that the matter ended there.
Qiao Lina stared blankly at Ye Chen, her heart filled with disappointment.
Seeing this, the man had no choice but to award the generous prize to Jolina.
Ye Chen and Qiao Lina walked off the stage with their prizes.
"Ye Chen, are you angry?" Qiao Lina suddenly asked.
"No, don't overthink it," Ye Chen smiled.
"The toasting ceremony was just a formality," Qiao Lina said softly.
"Everyone knows the meaning behind drinking from the same cup."
"Some people can treat it as a game, thinking it's just something to have fun with."
“But I have Ruoxi, so I hope you can understand,” Ye Chen said.
At that moment, Jolina's eyes lost their luster.
"Yes, I understand," Jolina said with a forced smile.
The falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is indifferent; it's just wishful thinking on her part.
Qiao Lina quickly calmed her heartbeat.
