Chapter 2227 - Zhao Youqian’s Fiancée (2/2)

The woman rose to her feet after only a slight hesitation.

——

The duet was a great success. Zhao Manyan appropriately maintained his distance from the woman throughout the dance. He did not place his hand below the woman’s waist, nor did he stick his chest out to rub her bust.

As an experienced man who had shared intimate contact with many women, he knew when to be straightforward and when to be a gentleman. Many women were willing to have a dance with a stranger in the Americas, including the beautiful ones, but getting them to sleep with you in the same bed was as difficult as hiking a cold mountain. Being handsome alone was not enough to guarantee him a free ticket!

“Apologies for coming late…” Prince Beny happened to see Zhao Manyan helping the woman down the stage as he arrived. He was not displeased by it. He went up to Zhao Manyan and said politely, “Thank you for keeping Miss Sancha entertained before I came. I’ll handle the rest from here.”

Zhao Manyan smiled and left without any hesitation.

Prince Beny squinted while staring at Zhao Manyan’s back. “Do you know him?” Prince Beny asked the woman.

“He looks a little familiar,” Sancha replied.

“He’s a guest lecturer from China. I don’t remember his name. I’m sorry for coming late, but that guy isn’t worth your time. I heard he has a bad reputation. He already had dealings with some of the girls not long after he came to the Aorus Sacred Institute,” Prince Beny said.

“You sound like my fiancée,” Sancha pouted.

“Haha, Zhao Youqian is an old friend of mine, so I’m obliged to keep an eye out for him,” Prince Beny said.

“I don’t like being watched all the time. His values as a Chinese man are quite annoying sometimes. It’s like I’m committing a crime, when I’m only dancing with a stranger,” Sancha huffed.

“He cares about you. Let’s not talk about that. Shall we dance? I have a few things to discuss with you. The Andes Federation isn’t officially established yet, but the Andes International Bank has already secured a foothold in it. I bet many people are fawning after you, since you are the daughter of the bank’s CEO. Just be more cautious for now and try to avoid strangers,” Prince Beny said firmly.

Sancha found the ball pretty boring and meaningless, except for the gentle voice that had intrigued her.

Sancha did not let Prince Beny walk her home after the ball.

For some reason, Sancha had a feeling Prince Beny had ulterior motives toward her. Even though he always claimed he was her fiancée’s best friend, Sancha noticed Prince Beny would unintentionally cross the line when he was dancing with her. She felt like the stranger had been more of a gentleman than Prince Beny.

Sancha left the hall and walked away leisurely under the night sky, enjoying the breeze.

She noticed two figures passing by in the distance. She took a closer look and recognized it was the stranger who danced with her at the start of the ball. He was with a girl, who seemed to be a student of the Aorus Sacred Institute.

Sancha happened to know the student too. Her name was Beatrice.

As the Vice Head of the School’s Disciplinary Committee, Sancha was aware that Beatrice was about to be expelled by the school.

Sancha was quite disappointed. It turned out that the man was just as Prince Beny had said; he had certain dealings with the female students in the school.

Sancha was disappointed that Beatrice was trying to use such a shameless way to earn a better score in her classes. She was also disappointed that the stranger who had danced with her was such a shameless guy.
