Teng Hao was also dressed in formal black attire. This was the first time the two brothers appeared together in public since “They Say.” Although neither was a public figure, their appearance still drew countless photographers. They walked one after another – one with a warm smile, the other maintaining a cold expression – becoming a unique sight on the red carpet.
Ruan Yu shifted her gaze from them. She cooperated with Wei Liao to interview Luo Sheng briefly, and after seeing Luo Sheng off, she waited quietly in place.
“Coming towards us now are DT Group’s founders, Mr. Teng Yi and Mr. Teng Hao. Though they are entrepreneurs, they previously appeared on the talk show ‘They Say,’ so viewers who watched the show should be familiar with these two very handsome gentlemen… Please, this way.”
As Wei Liao finished speaking, Teng Yi and Teng Hao stood between them, with Teng Hao closer to Wei Liao and Teng Yi next to Ruan Yu, so close their hands almost touched. Ruan Yu always blacked out when she drank; she didn’t remember what happened that night or crying herself to sleep in Teng Yi’s arms. She only remembered that during their farewell, he said he would never dance again.
“You two must be familiar with Host Ruan?” Wei Liao held the microphone towards Teng Hao.
“Yes, Host Ruan is an old friend. We recorded ‘They Say’ together,” Teng Hao said.
“Did anything interesting happen during the recording?”
“The whole day was interesting. Host Ruan herself is an interesting person.”
Ruan Yu smiled – this kid Teng Hao was being quite respectful of her in public.
“I heard you brothers are usually very low-profile. Why did you agree to participate in ‘They Say’ as soon as you returned to the country?” Wei Liao turned to Teng Yi, who had been quiet for a while.
Ruan Yu naturally held the microphone in front of Teng Yi. Her bare arm brushed against his cool suit jacket.
“We mainly agreed to the show’s invitation considering that DT had just returned to develop in the country. We hoped to let more people understand DT through the show’s exposure.”
“And what about attending this charity gala?”
“Charity needs no purpose.”
A concise and impeccable answer.
“Well said – charity needs no purpose. Thank you, Mr. Teng Yi and Mr. Teng Hao. Please proceed to your seats,” Wei Liao gestured.
The brothers nodded to everyone present. Throughout the entire process, Teng Yi never looked at Ruan Yu, and Ruan Yu politely “ignored” him. Just as they were about to pass each other, Teng Yi’s cufflink suddenly caught on the tassel of Ruan Yu’s dress.
Teng Yi didn’t notice at first and took two steps before being stopped by that small force.
The red tassel cord hung between them, and they both froze.
“Hey hey hey, what’s this? A lingering attachment?” Wei Liao quickly joked to ease the situation.
The speaker meant nothing by it, but the listeners took it to heart. Ruan Yu’s face immediately flushed.
Someone in the press corps called out: “It’s not a lingering attachment, it’s fate’s red thread connecting destined couples!”
All the staff and reporters at the scene burst into laughter.
Ruan Yu hurriedly untangled the tassel binding them together and tried to maintain her composure as she spoke into the microphone: “Please don’t joke about this. Mr. Teng’s girlfriend might get jealous.”
“Well, let’s take this chance to ask on behalf of your many admirers – Mr. Teng, do you have a girlfriend?” Wei Liao held the microphone toward Teng Yi.
Teng Yi silently glanced at Ruan Yu, his deep voice carrying through the microphone to all directions.
“I’m single.”
The laughter at the scene grew even louder.
