Ryan’s heart melted when he heard Carrie cry.


    His Adam’s apple rolled, and he actually had an inappropriate reaction


    The crystal tears that streamed down Carrie’s face seemed to have caused ripples in Ryan’s heart.


    In an instant, Ryan forgot about how Carrie had abandoned him and ran away thest time they got


    into a car ident.


    “Annie? Do you mean Be? Be gave you the teddy?” Ryan narrowed his eyes and gently wiped the


    tears from Carrie’s cheeks with his calloused fingertips.


    Carrie nodded vigorously, the tip of her nose red.


    “Where did you lose it? Here?”


    Carrie nodded again, her eyes still red.


    “Don’t worry, I’ll help you find it.”


    Ryan took Carrie’s little hand and walked to the stage step by step, in full view of everyone.


    A dreamy and crimson light followed, illuminating the two of them.


    Carrie lowered her eyes timidly, but she could not help but sneak nces at him.


    Although Ryan looked a bit fierce, he was really handsome.


    His strong and chiseled face was unparalleled in this world.


    Carrie pursed her lips. Her twinkling eyes wandered all over the man’s face as she carefully etched his


    deep facial features in her heart.


    “Stop the music.”


    Ryan stood in the DJ’s position, picked up the microphone, and said only three words. The originally


    boisterous ce fell silent.


    Zoe and Bethany were having fun, so they did not look at the screen until someone reminded them.


    In an instant, Zoe sat upright on the sofa and screamed angrily.


    Everyone was so frightened, thinking that she was possessed.


    When Bethany saw Carrie and Ryan standing side by side, and Ryan was holding Carrie’s hand as if


    they were a couple, Bethany felt so angry that her chest felt tight. Her mind buzzed.


    Ryan was holding Carrie’s hand so openly and looking at Carrie with such affection as if she were the


    one for him.


    Was Ryan showing the world that he loved Carrie?


    Bethany thought, ‘Carrie! That little bitch! If you dare steal my man, I will definitely kill you!’


    “What’s going on?! Why is my brother with that fool? Exin!”


    Zoe called her personal bodyguard over and red at them with piercing eyes. “Didn’t I tell you to keep


    an eye on that fool? How could she and my brother run into each other?!”


    “Ms. Zoe, please calm down… I kept an eye on her the whole time, but


    I didn’t expect Mr. Ryan to show up at ACE tonight. Carrie was running around, so she would definitely


    bump into Mr. Ryan.” Zoe’s bodyguard panicked and exined it incoherently.


    “Useless fool!”


    Zoe had nowhere to vent her anger, so she simply kicked her bodyguard in the leg.


    In the end, she missed the bodyguard’s leg and fell to the floor with a scream.


    Bethany and her friends stifled augh.


    On the stage, Ryan’s charming eyes held a smile as he spoke, “I hope everyone is having fun tonight.


    Why don’t we y a little game? My sister has lost a teddy bear here.”


    As soon as he said this, a photo of Carrie’s teddy bear appeared on the huge screen behind him, which


    Carrie had taken before on her phone.

    There was a lot of discussion in the audience.


    “Sister? I thought Mr. Hoffman only had one sister. She’s the protégé of a famous pianist. I don’t


    remember her looking like this.”


    “Sister? More like a backup lover. You just called that man bro, but are you his sibling?”


    “But thisdy doesn’t even look like she hase of age! She’s still a child, right? I doubt she’s an


    adult yet!”


    “What do you know? Rich men like girls much younger than them. They like the innocent, natural, and


    real type.”


    Carrie vaguely heard a word or two of criticism. Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she


    wanted to withdraw her hand from Ryan’s grip.


    Whenever this happened, all she could think of was running away.


    However, the man held her sweaty little hands so tightly that she could not move despite struggling with


    all her might.


    “So, whoever can find this teddy bear tonight will get all their expenses at ACE waived for one year!”


    Ryan’s alluring voice made the whole audience scream in surprise.


    At this moment, huge numbers appeared on the big screen, starting a countdown.


    “Five, four, three, two, one… Let the game begin!”


    The corners of Ryan’s lips rose in satisfaction as he waved his hand nonchntly.


    The crowd quickly dispersed and spread to every corner of the club.


    The scene was truly spectacr when Ryan saw it from the stage.


    Carrie blinked her doe-like eyes in surprise. She could not close her mouth.


    Ryan stared at her surprised face, his eyes getting darker by the second.


    “Come on. Let’s wait in my private room. They’ll find your teddy soon.”
