As Wu Xiufan and Alex entered the banquet hall, they were greeted by a wave of attention. Everyone wanted to pay their respects to the powerful couple, to curry favor with them.
But despite the adulation, the crowd kept a respectful distance. No one dared to approach them, to infringe upon their personal space. Wu Xiufan, with his intimidating aura, his reputation for ruthlessness, kept people at bay.
Alex, on the other hand, was a mystery. No one knew his true identity, his connection to Wu Xiufan. But his striking appearance, his elegant demeanor, had captured everyone's attention.
As they made their way through the crowd, Wu Xiufan and Alex could feel the eyes upon them, the whispers, the speculation. They were the center of attention, the subjects of everyone's fascination.
But despite the adulation, they remained aloof, detached. They were not interested in the games of power, the petty politics, the superficiality of the social scene.
