Tong Ji Yuan entered the venue with a smile, and many people came up to greet him along the way. In recent years, Tong Ji Yuan had established quite a reputation in the political arena, attracting many who sought to curry favor. However, when they saw him accompany the rising star Ji Niandong, their expressions varied.
Ji Niandong tightened her grip on his arm. Despite being a public figure, she was uncomfortable under the scrutiny of so many eyes.
Tong Ji Yuan leaned toward her and whispered in her ear, "Don't be nervous, nothing will happen."
To others, this gesture appeared extremely intimate and full of ambiguity.
A smile of success spread across Tong Ji Yuan's face, but the next moment, it faltered when he saw Lu Beichen and his female companion.
Ji Niandong clearly noticed his change and followed his gaze, her expression growing more stiff.
