The host on the stage was passionately cheering, “Now, let us welcome the great CEO and First Lady of ‘Dongfang’!”
The audience immediately erupted into enthusiastic applause.
Dongfang Yu and Hai Xiaotang slowly made their way out from backstage.
The spotlight shone on them—
Their remarkable appearances captivated everyone present.
Dongfang Yu was not only dignified, but also tall and handsome with an extraordinary demeanor.
It was unexpected that his wife was also petite and beautiful, more importantly, every move she made was filled with the air of a highborn lady.
The two of them standing together, were simply a match made in heaven, unparalleled in the world.
It seemed that the so-called winners in life were exactly them.
Identity, family background, looks, wealth… they had it all.
Even their partners were so perfect.
No one present didn’t envy them.
The only person who was jealous… was Lin Xinxin, standing in a corner.
She couldn’t help but clutch her wine glass, unable to suppress the bitterness in her heart.
Tonight, she should have been the one accompanying the CEO to the banquet…
She should have been the one dressed up and standing by his side…
But fate had played a cruel joke on her, she thought Lady Luck had smiled upon her, but it was just wishful thinking!
She understood that it was only appropriate for the CEO and his wife to attend the banquet together.
But she just… couldn’t control the anguish in her heart.
Lin Xinxin drank some wine in her disappointment, continuously warning and hypnotizing herself.
The CEO was already married. He had a wife. She couldn’t let herself be attracted to him.
She can’t fall for him…
After delivering a brief but powerful speech, Dongfang Yu led Hai Xiaotang off the stage.
“Be careful.” The steps were a bit high, and he carefully supported her, cautious not to let her trip.
Hai Xiaotang slightly paused, and when she looked up, she already showed him a gentle smile.
Seeing her bright, shallow smile, Dongfang Yu also paused for a moment, but he reacted quickly and no one noticed his subtle change in facial expression. But Hai Xiaotang noticed it.
She was satisfied with his reaction.
Hmph, if he could act in front of her, so could she!
She would see who took who seriously!
But others didn’t know about their secret thoughts, viewing them as a loving and harmonious couple.
If they weren’t in love, their expressions wouldn’t be so naturally gentle, right?
So, those rumors of divorce should be fabricated! Just intended to undermine ‘Dongfang’!
Moreover, even if they were to divorce, they certainly wouldn’t let everyone know at such a crucial time.
So, those rumors must be false…
Dongfang Yu had achieved his desired effect. The interactions between him and Hai Xiaotang that night would spread, and the rumors would naturally dissipate.
Hai Xiaotang cooperated very well with him, holding his arm the entire time, accompanying him to toast every guest.
However, standing for so long, her calves were in pain, she could hardly stand anymore.
Moreover, strangely, she was feeling a bit dizzy, her brain seeming oxygen-starved, her responses slowed.
She had never faced so many people at once before, so she was a little overwhelmed.
Dongfang Yu immediately noticed that something was wrong when he glanced at her side.
“What’s wrong?” he asked in a low voice.
Seeing the crystal lamp swaying above her from the corner of her eye, Hai
Xiaotang felt even dizzier, “I…”
J just as she was about to speak, the crystal lamp above fell abruptly
“Watch out!”
Dongfang Yu and Hai Xiaotang were abruptly pushed away by a great force!
