However, when he overheard others discussing her and learned her surname was Ou, that she was a powerful businesswoman with a formidable company in SZ city, he was impressed by her low profile and rarity at such events.
Su Zhanbo invited him to speak on stage, and he tried to find her in the crowd but couldn’t, leaving him with an unexpected sense of disappointment.
He didn’t know how to handle this unfamiliar emotion, so he chose to ignore it. Disturbed by disappointment and losing the desire to stay, he was about to leave when he saw Huang Tianli drinking alone in a corner.
The cocktail party continued as he scanned the room searching for her. Seeing her smile among the crowd was like a passionate rose in bloom, catching everyone’s attention. Yet, a hint of subtle sadness lingered like a thin cloud over the moon.
Ou Xueman sensed his gaze and turned to see him approaching. Her heart stirred, and she tried to conceal her turmoil, raising her glass in greeting before escaping in the opposite direction.
However, a slightly cold hand caught her. Turning back in shock, she met his cold yet perfect face, and he whispered, “May I have the honor of sharing a dance with President Ou?”
This night felt like a replay of their past, with his words identical to before. He took her waist to the dance floor, and the waltz was the same as years ago. The people in the ballroom made way for them, surrounding them like stars around the moon.
His long fingers held her delicate hand while his other arm encircled her slim waist. His tall figure was like a solid wall, his broad chest a harbor – the man she once believed she could rely on.
Half-leaning in his embrace, she looked for unusual expressions on his cold face. Beyond the coldness, his obsidian-like eyes revealed a hint of conquering desire and mockery – a man’s desire to conquer a woman.
Would he conquer her? This surprised Ou Xueman. At her status, she wondered when she had sparked his interest. Considering his romantic history, this was nothing; conquering women was like a game to him, and she was merely his new entertainment.
