C1 It Was Really a Disgrace to the Family!

In the dimly lit room, filled with the cheers and whistles of men, all eyes were drawn to the stage where the spotlight shone on a man and woman dancing fervently. The woman's wild, wine-red curls cascaded around her, and even without makeup, her serene and elegant features captivated the men around her. The black mole beneath her eyelashes added an enchanting allure to her already icy charm.

As she swayed her delicate, slender waist to the sultry beat, the crowd erupted in applause. Her male counterpart was equally mesmerizing, and together they seemed like royalty, commanding the gaze of all present with their seamless movements.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Shen Hanrui's pure gaze captured the couple's provocative dance. He blinked his large, dark eyes, his thick lashes fluttering. "This is truly a disgrace to the family name," he sighed.

The little one, clearly too young for his words, tugged at his dad's suit pants with his chubby hands. "Dad, you agree, right?"

The man referred to as "Dad" paid no mind to the child. His beautiful eyes, reminiscent of a young bird's, were filled with a brooding intensity. An icy aura emanated from his godlike features, sending shivers down the spine.

His fiery gaze was locked onto the hand caressing the woman's shapely behind on stage, the veins in his hand holding the wine glass standing out prominently.

The audacity of Fu Yunyi, carrying the title of Mrs. Shen and mother of a five-year-old, to be dancing so provocatively with another man!

Despite the frost on his handsome face, his regal and defiant air still caused women to linger and cast flirtatious glances his way.

A woman in a revealing dress approached, cocktail in hand. Noticing Shen Hanrui at the man's knee, she feigned surprise and leaned in. "Oh my, what an adorable little one!" she cooed, pushing her ample bosom forward. "Are you out having fun with your big brother at such a tender age?"

"Big brother?"

Shen Hanrui brushed the woman's hand from his cheek and said earnestly, "This is my dad, not my big brother."

He's so young and handsome, and he's already a father?

A look of astonishment crossed the heavily made-up woman's face, but it was quickly masked by a smile.

Being a single dad might work in her favor. It meant she had a better chance of becoming part of the family.

She admired the man's deep, dark eyes, his strong nose, and those thin lips that made one's body tingle just by looking at them. He was the kind of man whose beauty could cause turmoil in a nation.

And there he was, dressed in custom Armani from head to toe. Even if he wasn't born into wealth, he certainly had the air of a gentleman about him.

With cunning thoughts, the woman feigned intoxication and collapsed into Shen Qingli's embrace. "Handsome, your son is adorable... Don't you think he needs a mom?"

Shen Qingli, already seething from the woman's antics on stage, was suddenly overwhelmed by the pungent scent of her perfume, causing his brows to knit together.

He parted his lips slightly, but only one word escaped: "Scram!"

The woman, who had never been rejected before, stood frozen, staring at Shen Qingli's refined face, now highlighted by the stage lights, feeling a sudden chill.

"Do I need to repeat myself?" Shen Qingli scoffed, pulling cash from his wallet and pressing it into the woman's hand. "Take the money and leave!"

"My dad's told you to leave twice now, Auntie. Are you really going to stick around?" piped up the little one in a sweet, milky voice.

The woman's face flushed with embarrassment and then paled. Clutching the money tightly, she slunk away.

Shen Qingli's expression softened slightly as he continued to gaze coldly at the stunning woman on stage. A fire seemed to ignite in his chest, and he was overcome with the urge to pull her into his arms immediately.

She had been gone for so long, and now she flitted about like a siren among other men. How could he possibly stay calm?

He was Shen Qingli, and he would not allow Fu Yunyi to leave him again!

Even if she didn't want to return, he was determined to bring her back today, by force if necessary!

With fury burning in his heart, Shen Qingli's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "Son, are you ready?"

Upon receiving his dad's command, the little guy pulled a Bluetooth headset from his collar and confidently inquired, "Hey, hey, is the car ready?"

A cold, orderly voice responded from the device, "Little Young Master, everything is prepared."

Excellent.

Pleased, Shen Hanrui's lips curled into a smile as his gaze fixed on the woman on the stage, his anticipation evident. He tightly clenched his little fists.

Mam, Rui will be able to bring you home with dad very soon!

As the dance concluded, Fu Yunyi felt no lingering sentiment. She slipped on her fringed jacket and strode into the corridor leading to the office.

Watching her alluring figure recede into the distance, Zhou Siyang's mischievous eyes narrowed, and he smirked with roguish delight.

She's leaving so quickly. Could it be shyness?

Fu Yunyi gently stretched her stiff neck. Just as she was about to touch the office door handle, her wrist was abruptly seized.
