Of course, there are men who might surrender to a charming woman like her, but Qin Feimo was never going to be one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I can’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Dongfang Li’s enthusiastic invitation, Qin Feimo slightly raised the corners of his lips, answering with a few simple words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those few words left Dongfang Li momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the big boss of M Group, of noble birth, pampered from a young age; how could he not know how to dance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding his statement, Dongfang Li naturally had doubts, “Qin Feimo, could it be that you don’t want to dance with me, so you’re deliberately claiming you can’t?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feimo still lightly curled his lips, “If that’s what Miss Dongfang believes, then it is so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he turned toward the two people he had been talking to earlier, nodding slightly, “Excuse me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, he began to walk away, not even looking back at Dongfang Li as he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Li, prideful since childhood, had developed a strong sense of self-esteem. Being ignored so directly, her pride inevitably took a hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at that retreating figure, Dongfang Li fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she win this man’s heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the center of the crowd, Qin Feimo’s eyes aimlessly searched the hall for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept around, but Feng Jinglei’s figure was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did she run off to in a short moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerging from the ladies’ room and standing by the vanity, Feng Jinglei tidied up her makeup before finally turning to leave, heading toward the banquet hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet corridor, the faint sound of a waltz ending could still be heard from the hall, followed closely by another tune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view, and she halted her steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jinnan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiang Jinnan reminded Feng Jinglei that he once invited her to be his companion, but she declined with the excuse of ‘disliking such occasions.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she attended as Qin Feimo’s companion, she couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, realizing this might extinguish any lingering hopes Xiang Jinnan had, perhaps it wasn’t such a bad thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight’s circumstances made it clear to Xiang Jinnan that whether she likes such occasions depends on the man beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the woman in front of him, Xiang Jinnan pressed his thin lips slightly, feeling bittersweet, yet still managed to lift a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look beautiful today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He genuinely complimented her, more stunning today than during their college rehearsals — less naive and more maturely captivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.” Feng Jinglei responded to his praise with a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he didn’t mention it, she naturally felt no need to bring it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she knew he probably cared deeply about this, she refused to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because between them, they were merely friends, she had no obligation to explain; nor did she wish to risk causing any misconceptions with explanations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought you wouldn’t come today.” Eventually, Xiang Jinnan couldn’t hold back from speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Jinglei looked up at him, pondering for a few seconds before slowly replying, “I originally hadn’t planned to come, but Qin Grandma insisted we attend together, so I did.”\u003C\u002Fp>",601,"2026-06-06T09:49:01.620Z",1,"novelbin.me","d1338ba6293b3c2d57d9b4dbd4237de002e0ec024730406a6154f3465366c5d2","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-1375","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-1373",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
