Because his identity was too attractive, Huo Tindong had never revealed Ye Jinxin's existence to the outside world. Businessmen would inevitably invite one or two enemies, and if anyone found out Ye Jinxin's identity, it would be equivalent to grabbing onto his weakness. He did not want Ye Jinxin to be in danger, and at the same time did not want others to know his weakness.

As he was speaking, the lights suddenly dimmed.

Ye Jinxin was stunned. Through the darkness, the man beside her saw the flustered look on the girl's face and explained with a little reluctance, "Don't be afraid, the ball has started."

Then he added slowly, "Didn't you want to see your father? He's dancing today, so you'll be able to see him in a while. "

Ye Jinxin heaved a sigh of relief, but after hearing the man say that it was Huo Tindong who started the dance, she became excited again. She had seen Huo Tindong many times before, but she had never seen him dance before.

The originally dim light once again brightened up slightly. However, the original white light had turned into a pale yellow light, enveloping a young man and woman in the center of the dance floor.

Ye Jin thought, she might never forget this scene.

When the music ended, there was warm applause.

She always remembered that scene.

The ceiling was high, with no stars or moon, surrounded by a sea of heads. Only the stage was illuminated by a white light, indicating the focus of everyone's attention. That was the last part of the fairy tale, the symbol of the happiness of princes and princesses.

Ever since she was young, she knew that this woman was Huo Tindong's soulmate. She just didn't expect that even after so many years, she was still standing closest to him.

No wonder he never brought her to this party. With such a goddess accompanying him, how could he even think of bringing a daughter who was still wearing a school uniform and didn't know anything that would only cause trouble for him?

As expected, she was not his biological son! If he really treated her like his own daughter, how could he not let her participate in anything? He kept her cooped up at home, and last summer, he even gave a call to the school leadership to reject her at the school camp. When she angrily asked him for an explanation, his reason turned out to be dangerous!

He had treated her like a little fool! No wonder even Bai Xiaonan would say that she came from another planet!

"Miss." The man next to her saw her lost in thought and waved a business card in front of the girl's eyes. Ye Jinxin's eyes flashed for a moment before she returned to her senses and asked with a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"

The man smiled and handed the business card over. "My name is Mu Shaoqun and this is my contact number. It's a pleasure to meet you today."

"Oh." Ye Jinxin touched the back of her head and was about to reach out to take the card when she suddenly felt a strong grip on her shoulder and pulled her to the other side.

Ye Jin exclaimed in his heart. He turned his head to look at the approaching person and his eyes immediately became sore. Who else could it be other than that so-called father who didn't care about her, Huo Tindong?

"Who let you come here!"

Huo Tindong's eyes turned ice-cold. He could not help but angrily denounce Huo Yuhao.

Ye Jinxin felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. Just as she wanted to refute his words, she was pulled to her back by him.

"Stand at the back and don't talk."

Ye Jin twitched his mouth and stood behind Huo Tindong, not daring to speak. Normally, she would dare to act too rashly, but if Huo Tindong really did get angry, she wouldn't dare to say anything more even if she was beaten to death.

Huo Tindong glanced at the girl before raising his head to look at Mu Shaoqun with a sneer. He took the name card from Mu Shaoqun and threw it at his feet. "Young master Mu is now even interested in such a young girl?"

Ye Jinxin, who was behind him, was also unconvinced as she mumbled, "That's right."

Huo Tindong's face immediately turned ashen. He turned his head around and yelled in a low voice, as if he was scolding a child, "Did you speak?"

Ye Jinxin was so angry. If you could be together with a beautiful lady and whisper sweet nothings to her, I wouldn't be able to accept a name card from her! It really was like a fire set by an official of Xu Zhou. No one was allowed to light a lamp.

"Mister Mu!" Ye Jinxin was also very stubborn, "Please give me your name card." As she spoke, the little girl walked out from behind Huo Ting Dong and extended her small hand towards Mu Shaoqun.

"Oh." Mu Shaoqun was stunned and immediately recovered his wits. He took out a golden name card from his shirt pocket and handed it over to Ye Jinxin.

When his fingers were about to touch the card, Huo Tindong opened his mouth and said, "You dare to accept?"

Ye Jinxin subconsciously retracted her arm. Every time Huo Ting Dong spoke with this tone, it meant that his patience had been worn out. If he were to provoke him again, it would be touching his bottom line.

Ye Jinxin swallowed her saliva. She slowly reached out her hand and touched the back of her head, feigning panic, "Aiya, I forgot. Today, I still haven't done a bunch of papers." After saying that, the young girl tilted her head and laughed dryly, "Mister Mu, then I won't have time to take this name card. Let's talk another day." With that, he bent down and ran past Huo Tinton, wiping his shoulders.

The corner of Young Master Mu's mouth twitched. How busy could he be? He didn't even have the time to raise his hand to receive a name card?

Huo Tindong didn't leave. His long legs stomped on the name card that he just threw on the ground before he narrowed his eyes and pulled out the golden name card in Mu Shaoqun's hand. Then, his fingers loosened and the name card slowly fell to the ground.

Huo Tindong smiled and apologetically said to the petrified Mu Shaoqun, "I'm so sorry. I've been unsteady lately." After which, he turned around and ran in the direction Ye Jinxin had gone.

Wang Ying Ran was holding the champagne and socializing with some of the businessmen in the circle. Seeing Huo Tindong turn around and walk out, he smiled apologetically at some of the board members of the famous company. He then placed the champagne on the table and followed.

"Tinton …"

"Tinton, wait for me."

Wang Ying Ran was wearing a pair of sharp high-heeled shoes. He was rushing the people in front of him on the smooth marble floor. The tip of his shoes was emitting a crisp sound as they stepped on the floor.

Hearing that Wang Yingran had caught up with him, Huo Tindong stopped in his tracks and put one hand in the pocket of his suit, waiting for her to catch up.

Seeing that he had stopped, Wang Yiran heaved a sigh of relief. He took a few steps forward and wrapped his arm around the man's arm in rebuke. "I didn't even say anything before leaving myself there. How awkward it is."

Huo Ting Dong laughed, "How could I not understand your ability? After so many years, what kind of things can make you feel embarrassed? "

Wang Ying Ran smiled coquettishly as she hugged her strong and sturdy arms tightly. She shook them lightly and said, "Let's go eat together later. There's a western restaurant downstairs."

Huo Tinton calmly took his hand away from the woman's hand. He pretended to raise his hand to straighten his bow tie and said lightly, "Another day. I still have some matters to attend to today. If you don't want to stay here, I'll call the driver to pick you up."

He started walking again on his long legs.

She remembered what he had told her, that if it was profitable, they would be together, and if they could find a better collaborator, they would immediately part ways.

This was the freedom Huo Tinton had given her, and the distance he had given her.
