Chapter 403
Only Fu Xiuyuan knew that she did it on purpose.
His breathing paused for a moment, and the music once again entered a new climax. His chest was surging with some sort of emotion, bringing Shi Jin along to keep up with the rhythm. Because of the dance, the two of them were even closer.
Fingers intertwined, knuckles intertwined, hooked, fingers locked, then parted again because of the dance.
They clasped hands again, rubbing and tangling together.
As the music became more intense, Shi Jin's breathing became heavier.
Poles love romantic and sexy music.
Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin started the dance and the others joined in, turning the place into a dance floor.
As the crowd increased, even the staff could not help swaying.
Chu Ling held his flowers and was pushed to the periphery.
Yao Jiahong reached out to protect the flowers in his arms and retreated.
The reporters also smiled kindly. The venue became a real dance floor. Everyone followed the music and hugged each other to their heart's content as they danced.
In the darkness, no one noticed that Fu Xiuyuan had brought Shi Jin away from the dance floor.
In an empty corner, he pressed her against the wall and kissed her lips.
The beat of the music was still playing and he followed it, kissing her and wanting her.
His well-defined fingers wrapped around her slender fingers and climbed up the gaps between them. He held them tightly and sealed them with a kiss, forcing her voice back into her mouth.
The duet produced a soul-stirring yet passionate dance tune. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

After Shi Xuexin walked out of the award ceremony, there was still some liveliness outside, but everything had nothing to do with her anymore.
She came back to her senses and ran towards the hotel.
Shi Baozhi was pulling her luggage out.
"Auntie!" Shi Xuexin rushed towards her. Chu Ling ignored her. If Shi Baozhi gave up on her, she would have nothing left.
Shi Baozhi looked at her coldly and continued walking out.
"Auntie, let me explain. I really never plagiarized Shi Jin's things... I found those things at home. They weren't Shi Jin's at all..."
Shi Baozhi had a complicated look in her eyes as she said, "Go find Hu Lai. I'm going back now."
She still had many things to settle, so she was not in the mood to waste time with Shi Xuexin.
Shi Xuexin slumped to the ground.
Shi Baozhi's phone rang and she picked it up immediately. "Is there a problem? Did Sheng Tian agree
to learn from me?"
Her reputation had been completely wasted by Shi Xuexin, and her status had plummeted. She had to find a student with excellent results as soon as possible to reverse the situation. And Sheng Tian was the best choice. He was the contestant closest to the grand prize. All he lacked was opportunity.
The other party said something, and Shi Baozhi asked, "Previously, he took the initiative to contact me. It's obvious that he doesn't have a teacher."
Following that, Shi Baozhi raised her voice. "What? He rejected me?"
Shi Baozhi took the phone and got into the taxi. She could not understand why Sheng Tian would reject her.
After she hung up, Manager Wang called. "Teacher Shi, I have something to discuss with you!"
"What is it?"
"The stock price of Thousand Fortune Jewelry has dropped by more than ten points! Teacher Shi, why are you scamming me like this?" Manager Wang's voice came from the other end.
Shi Baozhi hung up the phone and pinched her aching eyebrows.
When Hu Lai returned with the documents, she saw Shi Xuexin still sitting on the ground. People passing by would occasionally look at her with disdain.
Actually, a lot of people could not tell the difference between Asian faces and could not tell that it was her. However, her princess dress was too eye-catching. Many people remembered that she was wearing this dress.
"Sister Lai!" Shi Xuexin seemed to have found a straw to clutch at. "Brother Chu Ling refused to answer my calls. He's angry. What should I do, Sister Lai?"
Hu Lai stared at her. "Isn't that normal?"
Shi Xuexin cried, "Please help me. I'm sure you can help me, Sister Lai. You can help me suppress the public opinion and turn the situation around, just like how you were Brother Chu Ling back then..."
"Don't spout nonsense. Chu Ling didn't plagiarize. The person who plagiarized was Deng Yufei. That's how he got out of his predicament. Besides, how can you compare to his fan base?" Hu Lai waved the lawyer's letter in his hand. "Shi Jin and Supreme Entertainment have already sent the lawyer's letter over. You're on your own now!"
Hu Lai pushed her hand away. "By the way, prepare the compensation when you get back. Your 200,000 CDs..."
Not only would Shi Xuexin have to compensate, Hu Lai would also be held accountable by the company.
She was the one who convinced the company to prepare 200,000 soundtracks in advance. She was prepared to reap a huge profit when Shi Xuexin became the champion.
Just paying for the 200,000 copies of the CDs would leave her with nothing, but her underwear, and they had to compensate Shi Jin as well. Now that she was in a terrible fix, how could she have the time to care about Shi Xuexin?
Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan went back to the villa together.
Yao Jiahong opened the door for them with a dark expression. "Shi Jin, do you know that it's dangerous to leave your manager's sight in a foreign country..."
Before he could finish speaking, he met Fu Xiuyuan's cold gaze. Yao Jiahong swallowed the rest of his words and moved aside to welcome them in.
Shi Jin leaned on Fu Xiuyuan's arm and smiled. "I feel like I'm standing at the top of the food chain now."
Yao Jiahong, who was at the bottom of the food chain, sighed silently and said faintly, "Director Ji asked for you just now, do you want to go down?"
"Later," Shi Jin said.
She met Fu Xiuyuan's probing gaze and said, "It's the director I told you about. He's staying with us. He might be looking for me for something. I'll go take a look."
"Go ahead." Fu Xiuyuan did not refuse.
After taking a shower, Shi Jin changed out of the long dress that had been crumpled by Fu Xiuyuan before heading downstairs.
Ji Hanxue was reading the script when he looked up and saw her. He called her over. "Shi Jin, I'd like to invite you to play the mother-son xun with me to use in my movie. See if you're interested."
"Was it the score from that day?"
"Yes, and there's another song. Take a look," Ji Hanxue said. "Congratulations to you for winning the award today, the double champion."
"Thank you." Shi Jin took the score and looked at it for a while. It was another song. It seemed grand and majestic and had a strong foundation. She liked music to begin
with, so she immediately said, "Alright, I'll take this."
"I'll get someone to send you the contract."
"Just get them to give it to Brother Yao another day," said Shi Jin.
"Are you alright today? I heard that there's a popular celebrity here to send you flowers." Ji Hanxue was also very concerned about her award ceremony, but because he didn't book tickets in advance, he couldn't enter the venue.
Even Ji Hanxue knew about this matter. It could be seen that Chu Ling had caused a huge ruckus.
Fortunately, Fu Xiuyuan had come over tonight. Otherwise, even though Shi Jin could have handled the matter well, it would have caused an uproar.
Shi Jin smiled. "It's already settled."
"You have no idea. After Yan Chu heard about it, he wanted to come over to help. Ask him."
Yan Chu strode towards them and smiled. "I was too late. When I arrived, you were already gone."
Shi Jin appreciated their kindness and thanked them with a smile.
"If I'd been in time, it might have been me dancing with you."
"Mr. Yan, don't push me towards the fire." Shi Jin knew that Yan Chu was a male god in S Country. He had works that were highly acclaimed and had a lot of fans.
No matter what level of female artiste she was, if she took the initiative in front of him, it would look like she was taking advantage of his popularity..
