Chapter 304 - Embarrassed
The clock on the banquet hall showed that it was half past eight. The conductor in the corner of the hall raised his baton high and a lively dance song resounded around the hall.
The highlight of tonight was about to begin.
Mu Sihan had no female companion but Qin Yubing, who he was rumoured to be with recently, had come. Who he would be having the first dance with, instantly became very important.
Although there were rumours that his first dance would be with Qin Yubing, many socialites still held some hope.
What if Qin Yubing was not the one picked in the lottery later? They still had a chance!
Mu Sihan was surrounded by countless expectant eyes and attracted a lot of attention. He swept his eyes over the hall, his jaw was clenched tight, and he seemed to be in low spirits, making him seem cold and arrogant.
Wei Lin came on stage, drawing the number while smiling. “The lady who is drawn will be having the first dance with President Mu.”
The hearts of the girls present began to pound.
Qin Yubing was so nervous that her hands were curled into fists, her long eyelashes trembled and her heart was almost jumping out of her chest.
She knew she was going to be chosen, but she still felt nervous before Wei Lin made the announcement in public.
Qin Yubing saw Wei Lin pull out a number from the lottery box and then look over at her. Her heartbeat accelerated as if her heart was jumping out of her chest.
The number drawn was hers!
Otherwise, Wei Lin would not give her that look.
Qin Yubing was both nervous and happy. She turned around and looked at Nan Zhi from the corner of her eyes.
Nan Zhi was looking at the stage while eating dessert.
Her gaze met Qin Yubing’s.
Raising her chin slightly, Qin Yubing once again showed her the haughty demeanor of someone who had won.
Nan Zhi looked at Qin Yubing who had changed beyond recognition and her expression became slightly dazed.
In order to get to the top, she stepped on her best friends and climbed into a man’s bed. Even if she really did become popular in the future, would she not feel any regret at all?
Was the friendship between them since they were young, so vulnerable in the presence of a man?
Nan Zhi looked away first. She had given up on Qin Yubing.
After Wei Lin had pulled out the number plate, he peeked at it and his eyes swept through the crowd, landing on Qin Yubing.
The other socialites and stars who were still expectant with hope had disappointment shown on their faces.
Qin Yubing took out her own number plate and walked up to the rostrum with a smile.
“She’s so shameless, Assistant Wei has not announced it yet and she went up so impatiently!”
“But Assistant Wei looked at her. There’s an 80% chance that it’s her!”
“Recently she and Young Master Mu have been pretty close with all those news articles and everything. It seems like Young Master Mu is really smitten by her. No wonder she can be do shameless.”
When Qin Yubing was approaching the rostrum with her number plate, Wei Lin suddenly called out into the microphone, “Number 18.”
Number 18?
The smile on Qin Yubing’s face froze in an instant.
She even thought she might have heard wrongly and quickly looked down at the number plate in her hand.
Number 8.
Did Wei Lin say it wrong?
Qin Yubing’s body stiffened and narrowed her eyes at Wei Lin. Holding out the microphone, Wei Lin walked towards Qin Yubing.
“Miss Qin, are you number 18?”
Before Qin Yubing could say anything, Wei Lin saw the number plate in her hand and said, “Miss Qin is number 8.”
It was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly someone started to laugh unkindly. Then, it was followed by several other people’s mocking laughter.
Qin Yubing stood on the stage, she could neither retreat nor advance and it became very awkward.
The smile on her face was frozen and she was extremely embarrassed.
