Upon hearing this, Long Yuqing furrowed her brows and instinctively looked at Qin Ruomeng. She knew the person Ye Tianfan was referring to was Qin Ruomeng. However, according to the information Long Yuqing had, although Ye Tianfan and Qin Ruomeng were engaged, their relationship hadn't progressed substantially. Moreover, earlier at the Celestial Dragon Restaurant, the flirtation between Long Yuqing and Ye Tianfan was far more intense than this dance. Therefore, Long Yuqing thought just a dance shouldn't be something Ye Tianfan would refuse. But, as if Ye Tianfan had already sensed her intentions, he actually declined her offer politely!

This left Long Yuqing feeling somewhat disappointed, as the little schemes she had been secretly calculating in her heart seemed to be coming to nothing.

Just then, under the gaze of everyone in the ballroom, Ye Tianfan gracefully walked over to Qin Ruomeng. Seeing her forcing back tears, Ye Tianfan gave a gentle smile, lifted his hand, and amorously caressed Qin Ruomeng's cheek, then unabashedly held her delicate jade hand. In the most gentlemanly manner, he lightly kissed the back of her hand and said, "Miss Qin, would you be so kind as to honor me with a dance?"

The moment Ye Tianfan's lips kissed the back of Qin Ruomeng's hand, she was utterly stunned, her delicate body trembling with disbelief at everything before her!

To outsiders, Qin Ruomeng was the high-and-mighty heiress of the Qin Group. Yet, who would have thought that in the relationship between Qin Ruomeng and Ye Tianfan, she was actually the weaker one, while Ye Tianfan was truly the one on the higher ground?

Qin Ruomeng had been with Ye Tianfan for four years, going through their entire college life together. During those four years, Qin Ruomeng had tried hard on Ye Tianfan, using both soft and hard tactics, yet no matter how much charm Qin Ruomeng exuded, Ye Tianfan remained unmoved, like a solid rock!

Qin Ruomeng couldn't discern Ye Tianfan's thoughts or understand the destiny he bore. As the proud Miss of the Qin Family, facing her fiancé's attitude, though aggrieved, she could only swallow her grievances, for she was Qin Ruomeng! She was the future successor of the Qin Group, and such an identity forbade her from showing even the slightest weakness in front of outsiders, not even a little bit!

Originally, Qin Ruomeng had mentally prepared herself since this was a charity ball. Even if Long Yuqing invited Ye Tianfan to dance, it would have been normal. Although Qin Ruomeng found it unacceptable, outsiders would not understand the reasons behind it. As the heiress of the Qin Group, Qin Ruomeng had to pay attention to her influence on the outside world. Moreover, the guests at this charity ball were all business moguls, so no matter what Long Yuqing did with Ye Tianfan today, Qin Ruomeng could only suppress her grievances.

Yet now, in the ballroom filled with business magnates, Ye Tianfan decisively rejected Long Yuqing's invitation to dance. Moreover, he invited Qin Ruomeng in front of everyone with the highest etiquette. This instantly brought a thick warmth to Qin Ruomeng's heart, and her eyes welled up with a thin mist.

Seeing Qin Ruomeng slightly dazed, Ye Tianfan showed a warm smile and said, "What's the matter? Is Miss Qin unwilling to honor me?"

Hearing these words, Qin Ruomeng seemed to wake from a dream. She smiled and said, "I'm quite flattered that you've invited me. How could I not honor you?"

As she spoke, Qin Ruomeng placed her hand on Ye Tianfan's shoulder, and Ye Tianfan conveniently embraced Qin Ruomeng's slender waist. As the music started playing, the two of them began their dance on the dance floor.

In an instant, all eyes were drawn to them. However, this time, the gazes contained no jealousy or envy—only disbelief.

The focus of their gazes all coincidentally fell on Ye Tianfan. Everyone was privately speculating about Ye Tianfan's identity. A man who made Qin Ruomeng feel flattered must be of extraordinary status, either a business elite, a high-ranking government official, or a king from the underworld. In any case, he must possess a prominent status. But why was there no information about Ye Tianfan in their databases?

Among these people quietly speculating about Ye Tianfan's identity, only Ren Ningyue sat quietly in a corner, watching Ye Tianfan. At this moment, a mysterious smile formed on her lips, her right hand gently supporting her chin, her eyes filled with admiration, as she watched silently.

"Miss, should we investigate this man?" whispered the man with the demon blade on his back.

Ren Ningyue gave a faint smile, waved her hand, and said, "No need, I've already guessed who he is."

At this moment, the melodious music continued to play, and men and women on the dance floor moved gracefully, enjoying this moment of leisure. But in Long Yuqing's eyes, frost was gathering.

This round, she had lost!

However, she hadn't lost to Qin Ruomeng, but to Ye Tianfan.

"Miss Long, may I invite you to a dance?" Seeing Long Yuqing standing alone outside the dance floor, men were eager to move and issued invitations one after another.

Yet Long Yuqing's face no longer bore a gentle smile. Instead, there was only an icy, cold gaze. She resolutely declined any invitation, and until the end of the dance, she hadn't danced once.

As a dance came to an end, Fang Zaitian appeared on the stage, with the spotlight following him to the center. It was as if they had planned it, and all eyes simultaneously turned to Fang Zaitian on the stage.

The entire ballroom suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became peculiar. The charity ball, bustling a moment ago, was now so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. All attention was focused on Fang Zaitian.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but frown, looking towards the stage. Fang Zaitian, in a dark gold suit, stood smiling at the center, cleared his throat first, then said, "It is a great honor for me that you all could spare time from your busy schedules to attend the charity ball. Since this is a charity ball, the purpose is to raise funds to help those still struggling in poverty."

As he spoke, Fang Zaitian's gaze slowly swept around the ballroom, then continued, "Therefore, I have organized a charity auction next. The items up for auction are my personal collections over the years. Of course, all proceeds from the auction will be donated to impoverished disaster areas to help those in need. You are all leading figures in the business world, and I hope you can actively participate in the auction and contribute your share of love."

Hearing Fang Zaitian's words, Ye Tianfan narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing the serious expressions around him, Ye Tianfan immediately understood that this auction was the highlight!
