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

Chapter 395 Gray is also an option.

While Ye Jin'er and Yu Canling were dancing, Ye Sanqing was looking at Cheng Yanye in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Uh, I mean... should I ask Ye Wanyin to dance?"

Although the surroundings weren't particularly noisy, with so many people and music, it wasn't exactly a quiet environment.

Cheng Yanye thought she hadn't heard him clearly, so he repeated it.

Sheng Hanyu lowered the defensive stance she had just adopted.

He didn't know why, but whenever Cheng Yanye approached Ye Sanqing, he became secretly wary...

Ye Sanqing was genuinely puzzled, because Cheng Yanye's face was already swollen. If he were to commit another crime against the wind at this time, wouldn't he be beaten up by Lu Wangqian again?

He can be quite persistent at times.

Even so, Ye Sanqing still thought about it for a moment and told him, "For your safety, it's not necessary for now."

Cheng Yanye breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back. As he passed Sheng Hanyu, he whispered, "Don't misunderstand..."

Sheng Hanyu: ?

He didn't need to talk to Cheng Yanye much... As long as he wasn't deleted by the system, he and Cheng Yanye didn't really seem to have any connection.

Cheng Yanye obediently found a nearby corner to stay in.

He dared not stray too far from Ye Sanqing, lest Lu Wangqian see him alone and, on a whim, beat him up again.

Anyway, he subconsciously felt that this was a safe zone...

At this moment, Lu Mingye came over and politely extended his hand to Ye Sanqing, "May I have the honor of dancing with Miss Ye?"

After discussing things with Fu Sizhou, Lu Mingye decided to seize the time and intensify the offensive.

Whether it was to test other people's attitudes or for other reasons, Ye Sanqing would be in closed training after returning, making it inconvenient for him to do anything.

Ye Sanqing looked at him, seemingly hesitant.

"Lu Mingye, if you have time, why don't you dance with me?"

Wen Shumo interjected coldly from the side.

Lu Mingye thought to himself, "What a joke. Dancing with you is no different from publicly coming out as gay."

"Soren, long time no see! You're still as lively as ever. Any plans to throw a party this time you're back in China?"

Since Ye Sanqing still needed to think, Lu Mingye took the opportunity to exchange a few words with Wen Shumo.

It also serves to show that "I know you know about me, but I don't care."

"Even if I invite you, you should first make sure you can attend in public..."

Wen Shumo said with disdain.

He looks down on people who hide things; they're utterly hypocritical!

Lu Mingye said with some sadness, "You have to understand that the national conditions are different, and everyone's family circumstances are different... It's a bit much for you to bring this up... You're putting me in a difficult position."

Wen Shumo: ?

Wait, so he didn't intend to hide it from Ye Sanqing? Then wasn't I just used as a pawn by him?

He was about to explode on the spot when Ye Sanqing suddenly nodded at him and said, "I can dance with you, but I'm not very good at it."

"It's alright, please believe me."

As Lu Mingye turned around, he glanced at Sheng Hanyu out of the corner of his eye; the other woman remained expressionless.

In any case, as long as it doesn't interfere with his plans, that's fine.

Moreover, Ye Sanqing is indeed the type who has no chance with feelings and only has hope when he talks openly and honestly about cooperation.

Gong Yao: ...

But why?!

There was a clear look of confusion in her eyes. Sheng Hanyu looked at her and shook his head slightly.

Okay, if you think it's okay, then it's okay.

Ye Sanqing followed Lu Mingye into the dance floor area.

“Your clothes…” Lu Mingye’s hand was on her waist, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

"It's defense, I selected defense."

Lu Mingye: ...Are you playing games here?

But he could only remain silent about it.

Of course he knew the Lu family was dangerous... In places without many cameras, things that are inconvenient to be recorded by cameras will often happen.

"May I ask you something? Why don't you dance with Young Master Sheng?"

Lu Mingye asked while maintaining a proper distance.

Ye Sanqing's dance steps were indeed clumsy, and it didn't seem like he was completely clueless; it was as if he hadn't danced in many years.

"I'm also curious, are you genuinely unaware, or are you pretending not to know?"

She agreed to the dance invitation partly because she actually wanted to use it as an opportunity to get to know him better; if Lu Mingye didn't come, she was even prepared to go to him herself.

Secondly, she doesn't mind using skills she doesn't know where they came from on unimportant people.

Do she and Sheng Hanyu really need to get to know each other through dancing?

But there seems to be no need to explain this to Lu Mingye.

Just then, Wen Shumo and Yun Shu passed by them, and he stared at Lu Mingye with great resentment.

Wait a minute, with Yun Shu?

Yun Shu's expression of utter despair made the scene seem quite comical.

He was clearly dragged in by Wen Shumo on a whim...

Ye Sanqing took the opportunity to glance into the distance, where Cheng Yiguan and Jiang Jueheng were both looking in this direction, with gloating expressions.

These three people are also...

Since they're nearby, we should keep a distance before continuing our conversation.

Taking the opportunity, Lu Mingye moved to another part of the venue and continued, "What should I know, and what shouldn't I know?"

These two people asked five questions in three sentences, clearly indicating that they had no intention of having a normal conversation with each other.

However, because Lu Mingye naturally attracts most of the attention in the arena, he has to keep some things a secret.

"You should know who owns the casino, right?"

Ye Sanqing took advantage of the dance moves to get closer and said in a low voice.

"Are you... really that direct?"

Lu Mingye lowered his voice and asked, "How do you know if my answer is true or false?"

He was genuinely surprised. He had heard that Ye Sanqing was very direct, but he hadn't expected him to be this direct, actually asking him, the heir of the Lu family, such a pointed question.

"I don't need to know, it's not important."

Lu Mingye definitely knew, so whether his answer was true or false was not important. The important point was, who did he want to take the blame? And who could he make take the blame?

The identity of the person who takes the blame determines Lu Mingye's attitude towards the Lu family's underground businesses and the degree of control he has over the Lu family.

If they're just finding a scapegoat, it means Lu Mingye is a conservative who wants to retain most of the Lu family's shady businesses.

Ye Sanqing didn't expect him to hand over the key figures, but if he did, it would mean he was a reformer. Only in this case would she and Lu Mingye have a chance to cooperate.

Whether someone is an important person or not is almost immediately obvious upon seeing them.

Ye Sanqing believed that his conversation with Wen Shumo just now actually revealed his attitude, that is, he did not intend to hide this from her, and was almost telling her directly, "My goodwill towards you is just for show, I hope you understand."

This is what it means to initially demonstrate sincerity; only with sincerity can further dialogue take place.

Therefore, now is the time for Lu Mingye to weigh the options.

How is he supposed to submit this pledge of loyalty?

"Do you think... black can really be washed clean?"

Lu Mingye did not answer immediately, but asked another question instead.

"Gray is also an option."

Ye Sanqing answered quickly without even thinking.

She added, "But I thought... you preferred blue."

Lu Mingye was certainly not naive enough to think that she was really talking about his choice of clothing today.

This is practically asking him what his relationship with Fu Sizhou is.

"Blue... is the color I believe in."

He answered finally.
