Amidst the watchful eyes, Bai Weiran reluctantly reached out his hand.
"I really don't know how to dance."
Qing Ning just had to see him make a fool of himself, huh?
Forgive his bluntness, but with a lousy dance partner, her evaluation was inevitably going to be lowered.
The girl snorted at him.
"If I had known you couldn't do it, you should have followed me. This is a slow song, so it shouldn't go wrong."
Qing Ning indeed danced well, and under her smooth guidance, Bai Weiran had the illusion that he could dance as well.
"You really are a little princess, you dance so well." He smiled and complimented.
"I always have been, what did you think?"
"I always remember you in your cleaning uniform, wearing a safety helmet, refusing to take off your mask because you were too embarrassed to show your face… Aiya! Speaking of truth, you are stepping on others. You have no sportsmanship."
"Who said dogs can't speak the truth?"
The two whispered to each other, but because Qing Ning was in a good mood, there was a smile on her lips the whole time. To others, it looked like an affectionate scene, causing more people to be curious about Bai Weiran's identity.
"Who is that person?"
"I didn't see the face, but the figure... Could it be Ling Luo?"
Unfortunately, Bai Weiran's height and build were similar to Ling Luo's, hence the confusion.
"Is it true? Didn't they say she stopped pursuing him, stopped loving him, and fired Ling Luo? Then why are they publicly attending together?"
"It might be pressure from the Qin family. I heard they are against Ling Luo."
"No, that's not Ling Luo. I heard him talk just now, and his voice and attitude were different!"
"Hey, let's not talk about that for now. Have you heard about Ling Luo's recent situation?"
"Oh, you mean that rumor about Black Jack?"
Qing Ning was immersed in the excitement and bickering with Bai Weiran as they danced, completely oblivious to the eyes around them. Besides, she was someone who didn't care in the first place. However, Bai Weiran, with his extraordinary senses, listened attentively and understood everything clearly.
That incident did happen.
The app stated that no matter which world it was, people's destinies were formed by various coincidences, not based on good or bad actions.
These conditions, with above-average levels in various aspects but lacking love, collided with each other due to unbelievably coincidental circumstances and became fish in a pond, facing a swarm of male scum that was inevitably chosen by the overlapping fate of coincidence, not only being scum but also able to succeed.
Because success has nothing to do with character.
A while back, Qixi returned to the family as an illegitimate daughter. Although her father was cold and emotionless, he still gave her some money. Qixi then turned around and gave the money to Ling Luo, who invested it in the stock market—
It wasn't because Ling Luo was intelligent and had done extensive research.
The stock market is a public gambling table, where you gamble on the company's finances, the overall situation, the understanding of the management's information, and the stability of the bettors' mentality, not fluctuating with the market trends.
Someone with Ling Luo's indecisive and hesitant nature, who falls in love with one woman after another, is not suited for making money in the stock market. Even if they do earn money, most of it comes from gambling.
Without focusing on studying companies, without persisting in their own choices, without understanding their own boundaries of character and ability, and only seeing greed and money, they become the stock market's best "leeks."
But fate's coincidence befell Ling Luo.
As mentioned before, the stock market is also a gambling den, with an element of gambling involved.
Ling Luo used the money from Qixi to bet in several high-risk investments, and won them all.
He even used the mysterious alias "Black Jack."
Once the masses discovered this emerging and mysterious stock god, a wave of fanaticism immediately swept over.
Ling Luo played with the air of mystery, never revealing his face, only broadcasting his voice.
Ling Luo's voice was also pleasant to listen to.
It caused everyone to go into a frenzy, their ears pregnant, their brains overwhelmed, in short, a whole range of reactions.
Bai Weiran now knew which kind of ball he had attended.This is the ball where Ling Luo officially appears as [Black Jack]. If he doesn't stop it, Qing Ning will push Ling Luo away that night. Ling Luo enjoyed it, but became more indifferent towards Qing Ning. He recalls giving a little warmth and sweetness, kissing without rejecting Qing Ning's intimacy, and allowing Qing Ning to have her way with him. But in the end, he still has a face full of hurt emo.
To describe it in Bai Weiran's words, Qing Ning is fishing for happiness in this relationship, which is like finding gold in the sand. Qing Ning, with her proud character, couldn't stand Ling Luo pulling away and became dark. She began to use the Qin family's power, intending to capture and imprison Ling Luo. However, Ling Luo had a highly skilled bodyguard by his side, from a family of martial arts experts. Both his grandfather and father had served as personal guards for national leaders.
Under the protection of this bodyguard, Qing Ning repeatedly failed to achieve her goals. Qing Ning became increasingly angry and chose to eliminate other people, redirecting her focus to other individuals around Ling Luo. She threatened to capture someone and force Ling Luo to come back to her side. But Ling Luo's bodyguard saved the person, and then Qing Ning used the Qin family's power to pressure Ling Luo, causing him to lose his job, his house, and left with nowhere to go. She wanted Ling Luo to return to her out of self-interest.
Qing Ning believed her plan was proceeding smoothly and organized a ball. Suddenly, the stock market genius Black Jack emerged, taking off his mask and revealing himself to be Ling Luo. Facing Qing Ning's distorted face, Ling Luo calmly said, "Are you worthy of loving me?" He continued, "Why would I fall in love with a woman who obtained me in that way?" "Qing Ning, are you just after my body?" It was brutal, too brutal.
What happened next was a fierce move, and the process is not important. In any case, Qing Ning realized she could never possess Ling Luo alone. She lowered her proud head and surrendered to Ling Luo, only seeking a bit of pity and love.
Bai Weiran couldn't help but laugh. It can only be said that fate was too coincidental, as if telling him to get slapped on one cheek, he had to get slapped on the other cheek as well. Today is the day of the ball.
But Qing Ning couldn't successfully push Ling Luo away, she didn't turn dark, imprison anyone, or bind anyone. Considering the result, fate miraculously guided Ling Luo to join forces with his harem to resist Qing Ning. If Qing Ning took action, then it would be her fault, her possessiveness being selfish and capricious, a love-sick personality. If Qing Ning didn't take action, then it would mean she is heartless, loving a new person as soon as she sees them, readily throwing away someone she once deeply loved. You can tell from Qi Xi's actions.
No matter what Qing Ning did, it was all wrong. Not loving was wrong, and loving someone like a prince is what everyone expects. Now it's time for [Black Jack] to appear, take off his cloak, stun everyone, and act as a stock market genius. Ling Luo is truly curious about what emo nonsense he will say this time.
As the music stops playing, Qing Ning is happily dancing! She stops in confusion when she sees Bai Weiran turning her head to look at the entrance. The lights dim in the venue, and all the spotlights focus on the man entering through the door. Two girls lean against him, one in fiery red with a slim and athletic figure, and the other in water blue like a fairy. The man in the middle wears the Black Jack mask and walks slowly.
A wave of surprise sweeps through the crowd. "Black Jack? Is that Black Jack?" "I heard he was coming today, but didn't expect it to be true!" "Could he know his true identity!?"
Qing Ning pouts, not very interested. She holds onto Bai Weiran, but Bai Weiran's gaze remains fixed on the entrance.What's so attractive about men?
Didn't you say I was the most attractive?
In the next second, Qing Ning's eyes dimmed.
...Is he looking at those two women?
