eyes darkened. Zark had left the dance floor. Seeing Ashley and Ji Qingyue dancing again, his Tanya, too, registered surprise at Ji Qingyue’s renewed invitation. Chase also saw. He raised an eyebrow, smirked, and continued dancing with Tanya, seemingly unconcerned.
A while later, Chase received a call, and he and Tanya left the dance floor. Ethan, also done with dancing, joined them, heading towards Zark, whose gaze had remained fixed on Ashley. Ashley and Ji Qingyue were still dancing.
Ethan took a sip of his drink, his eyes still on Ashley.“Ji Qingyue seems quite taken with her.

It would be a surprise if the Jis welcomed her.
Ethan didn’t voice these thoughts, but Tanya understood. Having lived in the city for a while, she knew the Fengs, Hes, Qis, Jis, and Rens were among the top families. She’d suspected Ji Qingyue’s importance and had even considered the possibility of him being a Ji. She was right, But his interest in Ashley might not be romantic.
