Xi ng had already reserved a private room at AM, where four n of similar age gathered for a al.
However, two of the n did not go to the private room; they proposed to sit in the dining area outside.
Since they had a request, Mu Yichen and Qiao Yi followed suit, and the four of them sat by the window with the best view, overlooking the expansive beach outside.
The surroundings were filled with the rich and powerful. Two pairs of young n and won were seated not far from them, and one girl said to the girl next to her, "See those sitting by the window? One of them is Yichen!"
They spoke softly, not wanting to disturb anyone. The girl who was inford glanced at the most prominent spot by the window.
"Are you referring to the one in the light-colored suit?"
The girl’s sharp eyes quickly identified which one was the legendary Yichen.
"Yes!"
The two girls exchanged ambitious looks, and the gentleman sitting across from them couldn’t help but chuckle at their eager expressions.
"You two better not have any designs on Yichen. From what I know, girls who waste their ti on him never have good outcos!"
The man kindly advised.
"We’re not up to any mischief; we just want to make friends!"
The girl responded indignantly, thinking her friends were simply worried she might end up in Yichen’s bed.
"Hmph! You two better focus on the people in front of you, lest you ruin your future!"
Another man joined in.
"Why be scared? It’s just a toast!"
So, the girl who wanted to et Yichen stood up, while the girl who initially spoke remained seated.
The girl walked over with a wineglass, approaching the four n.
"Hello, gentlen! I’m Zhang Hongyun from C City, here seeking developnt opportunities. Since I have the honor to et you here today, I would like to toast to you all! Yichen!"
Her eyes sparkled with a youthful, fearless glow.
Qiao Yi and the other two raised their eyes, except for the nad Yichen, who didn’t even blink.
Mu Yichen’s partner chuckled softly, "Are all girls who desire Mu’s beauty this charming and straightforward?"
"That’s a dangerous thing to say; if Mrs. Mu hears it, she might misunderstand. Our Mu is quite afraid of his wife!"
Qiao Yi joked lightly, noticing Mu Yichen remained silent, but the partners knew it wasn’t a joke.
"Oh? We can’t let this beautiful lady feel awkward, can we? If you don’t mind, how about a toast with ?"
The partner graciously picked up his glass.
"Well, thank you very much then!"
The girl maintained her harmless smile, toasted with him, nodded to everyone, and reluctantly turned to leave, casting one last glance at Mu Yichen.
She’d heard Mu Yichen was hard to approach, but today she personally witnessed his coldness and indifference.
After returning to her seat, Zhang Hongyun glanced back at him, only to see his icy profile, feeling a sharp stab in her heart, yet reluctantly turning away.
"I told you not to go there, didn’t I?"
The gentleman across from her whispered.
"How would I know without trying if it’s possible or not?"
Zhang Hongyun smiled lightly, picking up the wine bottle to pour herself another glass.
"You’re much braver than . I wouldn’t dare walk over there for a toast, can’t do anything but toast to you!"
The girl sitting beside Zhang Hongyun lifted her glass to toast her, and Zhang Hongyun smiled slightly, "We shall see, my dad says he’s a very loyal guy, been childhood sweethearts with his wife for almost thirty years!"
"So you’re thinking of challenging the mistress role?"
Her friend asked.
"Of course not! Mistresses are those with no money, seeking wealthy sponsors. People like us, at most, can be called secret lovers!"
Zhang Hongyun held her glass at her lips, sipping again and again as if testing sothing.
The two gentlen chuckled helplessly, finding themselves more like bodyguards to the two girls.
They were all here seeking developnt, hoping to expand their network.
Rongcheng, this big city, has seen countless young people trying, with so succeeding, others failing, so persisting against all odds. The ending, joyful or tragic, remains uncertain.
Xiaoi was dining with colleagues nearby, but she had chosen a quiet and hidden spot, so Mu Yichen and his group didn’t see Xiaoi...
In the afternoon, Qin Mu heard about Mu Yichen being toasted by a pretty girl in the restaurant. Heard that he was quite unfriendly, didn’t drink with the girl, Qin Mu thought, indeed, this is what their Mu would do. With him acting like this, as his wife, she’s quite relieved.
"At that ti, the girl’s face turned green, but she knew her limits and didn’t continue to provoke Mu. Qinqin, do you think this girl will keep looking for chances to toast Mu?"
Xiaoi lay at Qin Mu’s desk, curiously asking as Qin Mu remained silent.
"How would we know? Maybe one day he’d randomly share a drink with soone, which isn’t impossible!"
Qin Mu glanced up at Xiaoi’s gossiping face, choosing to give her a response.
"Huh? Would he really do that? Mu wouldn’t be interested in such girls, like a butterfly, self-assud clever. Hmph! I bet he already knew her intentions the mont she approached!"
Xiaoi rolled her eyes slightly, paced slowly at the desk, chatting with Qin Mu.
"Ask Mu about it when you get ho in the evening, see what he says!"
Xiaoi suddenly suggested to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu didn’t need to ask, envisioning Mu’s look and expression when asked such a question in her mind.
Qin Mu could almost act as Mu Yichen, performing perfectly.
"You have ti to ponder over these matters, better use it to design a set of clothes for . You’ve been in Rongcheng for so long, always doing odd jobs, don’t you want more developnt?"
Qin Mu encouraged her, shifting the topic.
