The sky was just beginning to lighten.
Mo Chuxi woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and stared at the empty space on the other side of the bed, feeling an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.
He turned over and lay down in the spot where Yan Xinxin usually slept.
Mhm.
It slls like my wife.
Sweet and fragrant, like the sll of a peach.
Ti to continue dreaming sweet dreams...
anwhile, in another city.
Seven o’clock in the evening.
Yan Xinxin and Xiao Yize were seated in their designated spots when the renowned global YDL design professor appeared on stage.
The entire venue fell silent, with everyone intently listening to the professor’s professional yet humorously engaging lecture.
The lecture lasted for about two hours before it concluded perfectly.
The lights in the auditorium ca back on.
Xiao Yize turned to look at Yan Xinxin, who was sitting beside him.
"Xinxin, what did you think?"
"Hmm... Hard to summarize right away, but I feel like I’ve learned a lot."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Yize gave a gentle, warm smile.
"After we visit the jewelry exhibition in a couple of days, I think you’ll feel like you’ve gained even more."
"I’m looking forward to it!"
"How about we grab dinner now? Anything in particular you want to eat?"
"If I had sothing in mind, I wouldn’t share it with you to eat together!"
Just as Yan Xinxin was about to agree, she suddenly heard a cold voice rejecting Xiao Yize from behind him.
The voice felt sowhat familiar to her, and when she looked up, she was delighted to see a strikingly bold and exquisite face!
"Qingqing?!"
Yan Xinxin exclaid in surprise and delight.
Mo Qingning smiled brilliantly at Yan Xinxin, swiftly walked over to her side, and reached out to hold her hand.
"Saozi!"
She deliberately raised her volu when addressing Yan Xinxin.
Xiao Yize glanced at her, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing again, his lips curving faintly.
"You’re Chuxi’s sister. I t you at Chuxi and Xinxin’s wedding."
"Huh?"
Mo Qingning blinked in confusion upon hearing this, then turned her gaze to carefully study Xiao Yize in his white shirt and black suit.
With sharp brows, bright eyes, a flawless complexion, and lips as red as his teeth were white, his face was as smooth and refined as a piece of polished jade, but with a touch of distant coolness.
"You are..."
"I’m Chuxi’s good friend. My na is Xiao Yize."
Xiao Yize introduced himself.
"I’m a jewelry designer, and Xinxin is my apprentice."
As he spoke, he gracefully handed over his business card.
He wanted to ensure the girl in front of him didn’t misunderstand him and Yan Xinxin.
Mo Qingning froze montarily, her gaze lingering on his hands holding the card before losing herself in admiration.
Wow!
It’s rare for a guy to have such beautifully shaped hands!
Almost as good as my brother’s!
And he’s so polite and handso!
Though there’s a faint touch of lancholy to his deanor, it doesn’t lessen the allure of his charismatic masculinity shining through!
Looks like I was overthinking earlier!
"Qingqing, Young Master Xiao is my ntor. We’re both here for the lecture and the jewelry exhibition. Why are you here?"
Yan Xinxin’s voice finally interrupted Mo Qingning’s dazed admiration.
She snapped back to reality and accepted Xiao Yize’s business card.
"I’m here for the design lecture, too!"
Mo Qingning explained, smiling as she looked down at Xiao Yize’s business card.
"TED?"
She exclaid in surprise.
"Are you the renowned jewelry designer?"
"Are you also studying design?"
Almost simultaneously, Xiao Yize and Mo Qingning posed questions to each other.
Yan Xinxin watched from the side, sensing a subtle spark in the air.
"Um... Gorgeous guy and gorgeous girl, how about we find a place to sit down and have dinner together?"
"Sure, sure!"
Mo Qingning agreed without hesitation, linking her arm with Yan Xinxin’s as she turned to look at Xiao Yize.
"Young Master Xiao, are you interested in joining and Saozi for dinner?"
