“Yes, Mr. Su. I’m very sorry, your invitation is invalid.”


  The security officer’s repetition of these words drew the attention of everyone in the surroundings.

  Su Yanbin was on the verge of cursing!

  He had long known that Leader Ting was petty. Thus, when Zhuang Nainai brought up the idea of him taking her along to the ball as his date, he had informed Leader Ting about her plan. Fine, he wanted to see how Leader Ting would react in that situation, so he had sent the text to Leader Ting in the first place. But Leader Ting hadn’t told him to reject Zhuang Nainai’s proposal, nor did he ask Su Yanbin to find some reason not to attend. Hence, Su Yanbin had brought Zhuang Nainai to the ball.

  But damn, Leader Ting had cut the ground from under his foot!

  Su Yanbin felt like crying.

  This was so embarrassing!

  He had never been refused entry so matter-of-factly in his life before.

  Su Yanbin lowered his head, wishing that he could hide his face. He took hold of Zhuang Nainai and walked toward the car park. “We should leave, this is too embarrassing!”


  Zhuang Nainai shrugged his hand off. “If you want to leave, leave. But I’m not leaving. I have to enter and see him.”


  Su Yanbin pleaded, “Mistress, the security here is really strict. People without an invitation can’t enter. You should know that. Without an invitation, who’s going to bring you in?”


  Just as he said that, two people arrived at the car park. He turned and saw that his car had been scratched.

  The culprit was a white BMW. At that moment in time, the car was parked by the roadside. A man in a white suit was leaning against the car and calling someone, his brows furrowed. He was speaking at a good pace, his tone of voice warm and elegant. “Li Yanran isn’t coming? And neither is Tang Qiqi? And there’s no one else available?”


  At this point, his warm demeanor became agitated. “How could this be so coincidental? Not having a date at a ball is such an embarrassing thing……”


  “You’ll look for someone for me? The ball is about to begin. If you manage to find me a date, it’ll be just in time for me to send her home once she gets here.”


  “Alright, I know, about this matter, you……” he wanted to say something, but it appeared that he could not bring himself to say anything cruel. He sighed resignedly. “Forget it.”


  He hung up and lifted his head, sadness emanating from his figure. He leaned against his car, his head lifted at a 45-degree angle, showing his sadness.

  Then, as though he could feel the weight of someone’s gaze boring a hole into his back, he turned around and saw the two people staring back at him. He stood up, and his gaze landed on the scratched car. He looked at Zhuang Nainai, was taken aback, then said, “So it’s your car. I’m really sorry, I just got this BMW and I haven’t driven in a while, so just now…… I’m really sorry.”


  He took a step forward and handed his name card to Zhuang Nainai. “If there’s any problem with your car, you can contact me. I’ll take responsibility for any loss you may suffer.”


  This person was friendly and not shy at all, Zhuang Nainai marveled. Su Yanbin took away the name card in her hand. He looked at it, then turned to look at the man. “You scratched my car, and……”


  Zhuang Nainai interrupted, her eyes bright, “Do you need a date?”


  Su Yanbin’s words were caught in his throat. He turned around and stared at Zhuang Nainai in shock.

  Then Zhuang Nainai asked, “Would you consider having me as your date?”


  The man also seemed taken aback by her words. He paused for a moment before replying, “You?”
