There Are Plenty of Men in the World!

Wen Shuang accepted the trophy, turning her head slightly. Her gaze locked onto Ji Shen, who had been staring at her from the audience. In a voice audible only to the two of them, she replied, "Men? There are plenty of them in this world. If Miss Jiang wants this one so badly, take him. But it depends on whether you have the capability!"

After she spoke, she slowly curled her lips and blossomed into a stunning smile for the high-definition cameras. The media reporters frantically snapped away! This dancer was truly breathtaking. Standing beside the internationally renowned star Jiang Ning, she was not eclipsed in the slightest; on the contrary, she was dazzlingly beautiful.

Even Ji Shen, sitting in the audience, felt overwhelmed. He had always known Wen Shuang was beautiful, but after time had refined her, she possessed more than just a perfect face and figure; she now exuded a captivating aura from the inside out.

Jiang Ning was momentarily choked for words, never expecting Wen Shuang to retort like that. She quickly put on a smile: "Miss Wen, I look forward to your future development in the dance world. I hope you continue to improve and become a principal dancer soon!"

Wen Shuang: "Thank you!"

The two women met each other's gaze, sparks flying between them. Wen Shuang brushed back her hair, every gesture imbued with charm, and began her acceptance speech. After finishing, she lightly pressed one hand to her chest while holding the trophy with the other, bowing to the audience.

Applause erupted like thunder!

Ji Shen’s lips curved into a smile, his eyes never leaving Wen Shuang. However, ever since the beauty had taken the stage, she hadn't spared him a single extra glance.

After stepping down, Jiang Ning sat beside Ji Shen, intentionally leaning in close. "Brother Shen, did you come to the awards ceremony today specifically for Miss Wen? Or... did you know it was me presenting the award?"

"The former, of course." Ji Shen moved slightly away from Jiang Ning. "Wen Shuang is my girlfriend; naturally, I must attend the important moments in her life."

"Miss Wen is so lucky. You are so good to her, Brother Shen." Jiang Ning reminisced. "I remember back in high school, when I won first prize in a competition, you specifically skipped classes in college to come and cheer for me. Do you remember, Brother Shen?"

Ji Shen replied indifferently, "I don't remember. I don't recall things from the past."

Jiang Ning’s beautiful eyes turned slightly dazed. "But I remember everything. I remember how you used to wait for me after school, accompany me to class, and find time in your busy schedule to take me out for all kinds of delicious food and fun things. Back then, Brother Shen, I was the only one in your heart!"

"Miss Jiang, those are all things of the past. People must always look forward!"

"But, I..."

Just then, Wen Shuang returned. Ji Shen immediately stood up and, amidst the attention of the crowd, went to welcome his princess.

He reached out to steady her. Wen Shuang gave him a cool glance. Ji Shen kissed the back of her hand. "You look so beautiful tonight."

Wen Shuang lifted her chin with a touch of haughtiness, though eventually, she placed her hand in Ji Shen’s palm. The reporters went wild with their cameras! This couple was truly a feast for the eyes! Watching from behind, Jiang Ning clenched her fists in resentment.

Once Wen Shuang was down, many dancers from the troupe came to congratulate her, including Yao Qianqian, who offered her sincere blessings. "Shuangshuang, you deserve this more than anyone!"

Wen Shuang smiled and thanked her. Yao Qianqian looked at the couple with envy. "Watching this journey, Officer Ji is really good to you. I wonder when I’ll ever find a boyfriend!"

Wen Shuang glanced at Ji Shen, raising an eyebrow. "Qianqian, sometimes, being a woman doesn't mean you have to be in a relationship. Men aren't always reliable, either. For us women, relying on ourselves is always the best way!"

Ji Shen: "..."

His Shuangshuang was taking a jab at him! He took Wen Shuang’s hand, giving her all the face in front of outsiders. "Rest assured, I am definitely reliable!"

Wen Shuang arched her brow again, looking toward Jiang Ning. "How reliable are you?"

Ji Shen wrapped an arm around her waist: "Try it and you'll see!"

Jiang Ning watched the incredibly affectionate display, her heart filled with bitterness. Once upon a time, those gentle eyes of Ji Shen had been for her alone; now, they were for Wen Shuang.

Wen Shuang went to the restroom halfway through, and the two coincidentally met inside. Wen Shuang acted as if she didn't see her.

Jiang Ning walked up, her gaze fixed on the blue diamond on her chest. "Miss Wen, you probably don't know this, but the 'Heart of the Ocean' was my favorite back then. I didn't expect Brother Shen to buy it for me anyway."

Wen Shuang washed her hands. "Oh? You like it? Would you like me to take it off now and lend it to you for a couple of days?"

Jiang Ning’s expression stiffened. She continued, "Miss Wen, wearing someone else’s necklace and occupying someone else’s boyfriend—doesn't that feel good?"

Wen Shuang flicked the water droplets from her hands directly onto Jiang Ning’s face!

Jiang Ning covered her face: "What are you doing? Do you have no basic manners?"

"One should have manners, but it’s important to know who to be polite to! For someone as shameless as you, Miss Jiang, I personally feel that politeness is unnecessary!" Wen Shuang took out a handkerchief and gracefully wiped her hands. "When Ji Shen and I started dating, I had never heard of any 'Miss Jiang.' Now that you’ve returned, you keep calling him 'your man.' Do you have any shame?"

Jiang Ning was choked with anger: "He was mine to begin with!"

"That was in the past. Who hasn't dated a few jerks or toxic people in their time? It’s normal! Miss Jiang, I advise you to look forward." Wen Shuang tossed her hair with charm. "Excuse me, I’m going to find my man!"

Jiang Ning finally couldn't hold back, tearing off her mask of hypocrisy. "Wen Shuang, who do you think you are? There was a reason I broke up with Brother Shen. All these years, he has never let go of me! And you, you’re just my replacement. Don't you know that you look a lot like me?"

Wen Shuang paused. She raised her eyes and looked Jiang Ning up and down. A moment later, she squinted: "Do I look like you?"

"How could you not!"

Wen Shuang stroked her chin. "First of all, I have a standard oval face, but you—you have a heart-shaped face. Our face shapes aren't the same. Secondly, the eyes; I have almond eyes—oh, you have those too. But yours aren't shaped as nicely as mine; mine are rounder and larger. Envious? And our noses are even less alike; mine is dainty, while yours... it’s too high and looks abrupt. I bet your photographer struggles with that because it makes you look masculine in photos. As for the mouth, mine is thin. Miss Jiang, compared to me, yours seems... a bit thick?"

Jiang Ning was about to explode! No one had ever dared to critique her face like that in front of her, let alone claim that every feature of hers was inferior!

"What, you don't accept it? I don't want to engage in some 'female competition,' but you’re the one who asked me where we aren't alike."

Wen Shuang continued to scan Jiang Ning’s figure, crossing her arms. "Since you want to know, I might as well be clear today! Miss Jiang, we don't just look different; our figures are different too. Your chest... it’s padded, right? It looks quite hollow!"

Wen Shuang proudly straightened her back. "But mine is all natural. Miss Jiang, are you convinced now?"
