Wen Yanqing had always been open about his love for her. He hoped everyone would know he loved her and that they belonged together.
It was a statement that seemed to say: 'Don't covet what isn't yours or try ingratiating yourself with me.'
To the special someone he loved, Wen Yanqing showered her with tender affections, something no other could receive. It was a form of preferential treatment that promised security.
As partners on the dance floor, Wen Yanqing and Lin Gantang attracted many eyes and wagging tongues.
"I've seldom seen Mr. Wen dance," a man in a gray tie said.
"That's because he hadn't met anyone qualified to be his dancer."
The man from C City smiled. "Many young women would be interested in becoming his dance partner."
The man in the blue suit smiled. "Then you might not know. All these years, only the daughter of the Lin family can stand beside him. She's the one you saw dancing with him."
