As the dance began, Xia Lu occasionally glanced toward the entrance, but Zhou Mingchen was nowhere to be seen. Every time someone walked in, she hoped it was Zhou Mingchen, but until the staff closed the ballroom doors, he hadn't appeared.
"What's wrong, still waiting for Achen?" Ye Shaotang, who had been speaking on stage earlier, came over at some point and asked with concern.
Xia Lu turned her face and immediately straightened her back. "I don't know if he's been held up by something."
"Probably, but with Achen's character, it's possible he decided not to come at the last minute." Ye Shaotang smiled, "After all, in a sense, we are competitors."
"Oh." Xia Lu finally realized that she had forgotten that Fengguang Group and Litang Group are both leaders in the luxury hotel industry, so it's possible Zhou Mingchen didn't want to come to a competitor's dance. But where exactly had he gone?
