After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 422 The pumpkin carriage will turn back into its original form at 12 o'clock.

Fu Shaochen and Yu Canling returned to the hall together.

Fu Sizhou's expression just now was truly fascinating, and he chuckled to himself.

It seems Fu Sizhou isn't invincible after all; there are things that can restrain him.

Whether it was because Fu Sizhou was in a hurry or something else, he led Wu Qicang onto the balcony without drawing the curtains.

At that moment, he and Yu Canling had just finalized all the details, and the two of them left the balcony and passed by them.

You can’t step into the same river twice, but you can fall off the same balcony twice.

Although it wasn't the same one, Fu Sizhou entered the one closest to the stairwell this time.

This also shows that although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually furious, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen such a busy place.

Fu Shaochen once again acknowledged the feasibility of his and Yu Canling's plan.

As for Wu Qicang, he can probably be disregarded.

but……

He misunderstood, and the way he tried to compete with Fu Sizhou for his favor was quite admirable.

They returned to the hall, and Yu Canling immediately pulled him onto the dance floor.

It was a lively dance piece.

You can guarantee that anyone who sees them will think they are a couple deeply in love.

"Sister Yu, this is..."

When the two of them came out of the arena, Wen Shumo was the first to ask a question.

Although he really wanted to gossip, he knew this wasn't the time for it.

"I miss the past a bit. So..."

Yu Canling raised her hand and intertwined her fingers with Fu Shaochen's.

Wen Shumo gave him an "I understand" look, but Fu Shaochen didn't know if he really understood or just pretended.

Then he leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Okay, you really understand.

"It's just normal procedure, they'll give us two sets of matching outfits or something."

Yu Canling blinked.

"By the way, Ah Chen, what kind of jewelry do you want? I'll make a pair for you so it's convenient for you to wear."

"An earring?"

This is the only thing that's convenient to display at any time. If it were something like a necklace or bracelet, you'd have to consider whether it would be covered by clothing.

If one were to hold up a diamond like the Ninth Concubine to display it, it would be far too deliberate.

"Earrings are nice."

Yu Canling nodded in agreement, then turned to the others behind Wen Shumo and said, "Let me make it official: I have a boyfriend today."

"Congratulations!" Nangong Wang's voice came over, and with that, he squeezed in with a beaming face, shook Fu Shao Chen's hand up and down, "You have to take good care of Sister Yu."

Fu Shaochen nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't understand why the two of them started dating right after meeting, he believed in love at first sight!

Isn't this the most romantic love story ever?

Everyone looked at each other.

He was probably the only one there who genuinely wanted to congratulate them...

"When will the ball end? I'm tired."

As he said this, Yun Shu's expression and posture remained unchanged, showing no signs of fatigue.

Then again, only Wen Shumo, who forced him to dance, could make someone who was like an android show signs of fatigue...

"It's still early, Ye Wanyin still has a performance to do."

Cheng Yiguan looked up from her tablet and said.

"Performance?"

Jiang Jueheng was almost as fed up as Yun Shu; in his view, the ball was a huge waste of resources.

It's amazing that it can last this long...

"It's okay, it will definitely end before 12 o'clock. Every dance party ends before 12 o'clock."

Ning Leyi, who was standing next to Nangong Wang, interjected.

He was still mentally confirming the look Yu Canling had given him earlier.

What do you mean? Do you want him to spread this news?

However, he felt that he and Yu Canling didn't have that much chemistry, so he decided to ask first before making any plans.

"12 o'clock? Is there some urban legend about that?"

Gong Yao asked in confusion.

She checked the time; it was still some time before midnight.

She was getting a little bored after Sheng Hanyu made her stay here.

There weren't any people here who particularly needed her to socialize; chatting with these few people was the only interesting thing for her.

But just because she doesn't want to is not the same as others. People still come over to say hello from time to time, and Gong Yao's patience is almost exhausted.

The two older brothers definitely didn't want to do this kind of thing, that's why they didn't become the heirs...

"Not really, it's just a convention, isn't it?" Ning Leyi laughed. "After all, the pumpkin carriage will turn back into its original form at 12 o'clock."

"That's enough time."

As Yu Canling spoke, she looked at Ning Leyi again.

Okay, this time he was absolutely certain it was a clear hint.

Cheng Yanye, standing at the very edge of the group, was somewhat restless. Even though he wasn't sitting, he felt uneasy just standing.

He felt he shouldn't be standing there, but he had nowhere else to go. The people from the Lu family weren't exactly friendly in their eyes.

At this moment, Ye Wanyin asked the pianist to give up his seat and sat down on the piano bench, ready to begin playing. The lights were dimmed, with only one beam of light shining on her.

The room quieted down a bit.

"Today I want to dedicate this song to someone who is very important to me..."

Ye Wanyin spoke into the microphone, giving a very affectionate smile.

The piece she played... wasn't classical music, but a rather soothing pop song, though it wasn't a new song from this year.

This song is popular among young people for expressing their feelings because of its catchy and pleasant melody and romantic lyrics.

So, by playing this, it seems she was expressing her love for Lu Wangqian.

At least that's how it seems at first glance, so Lu Wangqian, who was half-drunk, had a smug expression on his face.

And Cheng Yanye...

His expression changed after he heard the music.

If he wasn't mistaken, Ye Wanyin had played this song for him before, and she always accompanied it with an expression that said "it's all understood without words."

The meaning behind her playing this piece is quite clear: Ye Wanyin can play more than just this one song, so she did it on purpose, deliberately trying to evoke his past memories.

But Cheng Yanye now feels inexplicably uncomfortable when he thinks about these things.

"Heh." Ning Leyi couldn't help but sneer when she saw his expression.

Cheng Yanye wasn't the only one whose memories were stirred.

Ning Leyi thought to herself, "Two idiots using the school's music room to date..."

They were incredibly high-profile back then; they did everything imaginable, like requesting songs for each other in the radio station, playing the piano together…

If you're going to play the piano, then play the piano. But what's with occupying the music room?

The whole school stopped practicing, and the music club stopped having any activities; everyone just had to wait for Ye Wanyin to finish playing before they could use it.

Back then, she was the true daughter of the Ye family, so no one dared to protest to her face.

Ning Leyi only thought it was hateful back then, and now that he looks at it, it's still just as hateful!

Cheng Yanye was somewhat anxious.

He still remembered what Sheng Hanyu had arranged for him today, but it wasn't this detailed.

Given Ye Wanyin's current attitude, how should he respond?

He glanced around the arena but didn't see Ye Sanqing or Sheng Hanyu, which only intensified his unease.
