Li Xin was also dumbfounded. All die-hard fans knew how much their goddess cherished her feathers. Yet she had actually accepted Qin Shiyue's invitation to dance, stunning everyone. What left Li Xin speechless was that she had even taken the initiative to do intimate things with Qin Shiyue.
Did Qin Shiyue and Kong Huizhi divorce because of the goddess? But she clearly heard that Qin Shiyue was the one who was divorced and abandoned, and the bystanders were eagerly waiting to see her make a joke of herself. But now, watching the goddess dancing intimately with Qin Shiyue, and seeing how close the goddess let Qin Shiyue get to her, it's obvious that the goddess really likes Qin Shiyue. Qin Shiyue's face is flushed red, looking shy and coy, clearly showing signs of mutual affection.
Wuwu, she had a premonition that the goddess was going to be sucked into Qin Shiyue's black hole. Qin Shiyue is so good at attracting darkness, and being with her would darken the goddess too. Moreover, she is a divorced woman and simply not worthy of her goddess. But setting aside other factors, this scene actually looks quite good. Beauty is justice.
At this moment, Li Xin is struggling between being a die-hard fan or a CP fan.
Kong Huizhi was already feeling extremely uncomfortable with her ex-wife dancing with her white moonlight. Now, watching them so intimate, her heart was twisting in knots.
Just as Kong Huizhi was feeling gloomy, she suddenly felt an oppressive gaze upon her. She turned towards this uncomfortable gaze that made her feel oppressed.
Sure enough, it was her. When did she arrive? That inexplicable gaze that always fell on her, made her instinctively feel uneasy.
Qin Shilan, her ex-wife's older sister. Kong Huizhi had always been wary of Qin Shilan, even a bit fearful. Three years ago, she was forced to marry Qin Shiyue, a marriage Qin Shilan had orchestrated. Now divorced from Qin Shiyue, Kong Huizhi had expected Qin Shilan to intervene to prevent their divorce. However, contrary to her expectations, these days had been unusually calm, unsettling Kong Huizhi greatly. She knew Qin Shilan, who cared so deeply for her younger sister, wouldn't just let it go.
Kong Huizhi felt Qin Shilan was like a venomous snake lurking in the grass, waiting for an opportunity to strike back at her, sending shivers down her spine.
Qin Shilan raised her wine glass and smiled politely at her former sister-in-law. She thought her adorable former sister-in-law probably didn't realize the apprehensive look in her eyes right now, as fearful as a little deer and as helpless as a startled bird.
This woman clearly feared her so much, yet had the audacity to propose divorce to Shiyue and eagerly pursue another woman.
Qin Shilan's lips curved slightly, leaving others guessing about her current emotions.
Kong Huizhi felt her heart race under Qin Shilan's gaze, avoiding it like covering her ears to steal a bell, hoping to evade the unsettling feeling in her heart. But even as she averted Qin Shilan's gaze, she still couldn't shake her restlessness.
Kong Huizhi glanced at Lin Qingyi again, hesitated for a moment, and between her likes and dislikes, she chose to avoid Qin Shilan whom she both disliked and feared.
Having made her decision, Kong Huizhi got up and fled from the charity ball scene.
Qin Shilan watched Kong Huizhi flee, the smile on her lips growing wider. It seemed Kong Huizhi's attraction to Lin Qingyi wasn't as strong as she thought.
"So, Little Boss Qin is just a vase after all, and her acting skills are still as bad as ever. Next time you want to provoke me, practice your acting first. You're not worthy of acting alongside me!" Lin Qingyi whispered teasingly into Qin Shiyue's ear, then pushed her away without mercy.
Qin Shiyue stood rooted in place after being suddenly pushed away by Lin Qingyi and was momentarily stunned. When she finally snapped out of it, she glared at Lin Qingyi, her face flushed red with anger.
At that moment, Lin Qingyi had already ignored her presence and left gracefully as if in a good mood.
"Why did you go and provoke her?" Bai Wenxi asked, sensing that Lin Qingyi seemed to be in a good mood.
"She's the one who provoked me first," Lin Qingyi corrected Bai Wenxi, emphasizing that she had no time to provoke others herself. It was a different story if someone else provoked her first.
"If she provoked you, why did you let her provoke you? That's not like your style." Anyone who wanted to provoke Lin Qingyi, not just Qin Shiyue, never saw her responding to others. Why did she respond to Qin Shiyue specifically? That scene just now, if someone captures it, the headline for hot search is ready-made: 'Qin Shiyue divorces, suspected involvement with Lin Qingyi.'
Lin Qingyi didn't respond to Bai Wenxi, just slightly curved her lips, her smile best interpreting that sentence: three parts coolness, three parts sarcasm, and four parts indifference.
Although she and Qin Shiyue were both popular, their paths were completely different. They rarely interacted and generally kept to themselves. Normally, they didn't interfere with each other, but being in the same circle meant they couldn't avoid some overlap.
Qin Shiyue offended her, starting from their joint appearance a long time ago.
It was also a banquet where the order of appearance was not based on talent but on popularity for many organizers.
Being arranged to go on stage with Qin Shiyue was not something that made Lin Qingyi happy, but it couldn't be said that she disliked it.
At that time, they were not the only ones on stage together; there were also three other popular actresses. However, Lin Qingyi happened to be standing next to Qin Shiyue. The other actresses were holding hands as they walked onto the stage, and Lin Qingyi didn't think much about holding Qin Shiyue's hand to match them.
Qin Shiyue knew early on that Lin Qingyi was Kong Huizhi's white moonlight, so she couldn't possibly warm up to Lin Qingyi as a rival. That's why, when she clearly saw Lin Qingyi reaching out her hand, she pretended not to notice, deliberately adjusting the hem of her evening gown—she wasn't about to hold hands with Lin Qingyi.
Lin Qingyi could only awkwardly retract her hand and adjust her skirt hem, pretending everything was normal. Qin Shiyue's action clearly embarrassed Lin Qingyi. Lin Qingyi had never been treated like this before, naturally feeling uncomfortable and keeping this score in mind.

Initially, she just kept it to herself, not planning any retaliation against Qin Shiyue over such a trivial matter. However, tonight, Qin Shiyue insisted on surging into her river. Lin Qingyi wouldn't hesitate to push back.
At this moment, Lin Qingyi, who had settled her old scores, was in an amazingly good mood.
"If you get involved with her, it's like inviting trouble. After all, she just divorced Kong Huizhi and is currently on the hot search," Bai Wenxi knew Lin Qingyi understood this, but couldn't help but caution her.
"So what?" Perhaps feeling too good, Lin Qingyi seemed unconcerned about the gossip that might follow.
Bai Wenxi looked at Lin Qingyi as if she had seen a ghost.
She actually asked herself, "So what?" Of course, it would dirty her feathers. Isn't she usually the one who cherishes her feathers the most? Who is the person who can't bear to get a single one dirty or even lose one? Living like a white peacock, yet today she's asking herself, "So what?"
"It's just a dance," Lin Qingyi responded nonchalantly, maintaining her own integrity.
Bai Wenxi thought to herself, You were whispering so close to her ear, acting all intimate, anyone would believe it was an intimate chat. And then you were hugging her and leading her into your arms, it definitely didn't look innocent. Especially when Qin Shiyue ended up blushing so much, looking all shy, I couldn't help but suspect you were having an affair behind my back. Even though I'm certain and can confirm that before this, You and Qin Shiyue had no connection, I can't guarantee what will happen in the future.
Qin Shiyue, who was obviously humiliated by Lin Qingyi and flushed with anger, didn't know that Bai Wenxi dared to describe her as "shy".
Author's Note:
Qin Shiyue: Wuwu, Lin Qingyi is so petty, so bad.
Lin Qingyi: I can be a little worse, how about giving it a try?
Qin Shiyue: What else do you want to do?
Lin Qingyi: I just want to "do it".
