"Good evening, Tang Song. Long ti no see." Shen Yuyan's eyes sparkled as she studied this alumnus she'd t a few tis before. Compared to a month ago, he seed different—his physique and aura had beco even more striking. His smooth skin and handso features made him stand out effortlessly. Confident yet gentle, composed yet free-spirited—this kind of man radiated charm the mont you interacted with him.
"Good evening, Yuyan." Tang Song smiled as he entered, casually closing the door behind him.
Shen Yuyan pressed her lips together in a smile and gestured, "It's been almost a month since we last t, and you've gotten even more handso. It's almost 7 PM—let's eat while we chat. Qingqing and I cooked tonight's dishes together. See if they suit your taste."
"Thank you. I can already sll how delicious they are." Tang Song took a deep breath, his gaze shifting toward the dining area. The table was laden with an assortnt of cold dishes, hot dishes, and soup—clearly prepared with great care.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Qing snapped out of her daze, looking utterly confused. "What's going on? I'm lost. You two knew each other already?"
She had originally wanted to see her best friend's shocked reaction upon eting Tang Song. She had even prepared a script in advance to flaunt her connections in front of her friend. But now, the two of them were chatting away as if they had completely forgotten about her, Miss Xu Qing!
Shen Yuyan flicked her forehead, amused. "Rember when I ssaged you during that investnt roadshow, asking about Tang Song?"
"Ah!" Xu Qing flushed with embarrassnt and lunged forward to pinch her friend's cheeks. "You sneaky Yuyan! Why didn't you say anything when we were talking about Tang Song's investnts before?"
"Because you lied to first."
Xu Qing shrank back, rembering her own deception. At the ti, she had just been excited to et such an impressive alumnus and wanted to use him as inspiration for her novel. She had kept him a secret from her best friend, afraid that Yuyan's charm would steal him away.
The three of them sat around the modest dining table.
"This is the braised beef I marinated last night. It's been sitting in the fridge for a day, so it's really flavorful."
"This shrimp dish was bought and cooked fresh by Qingqing. Try it."
In the bright, cozy dining room, Shen Yuyan carried herself with effortless grace, not imdiately bringing up business. Instead, she served Tang Song a few dishes and reminisced about funny monts from their school days. Thanks to their mutual friend Lu Ziming and her excellent conversational skills, the table was soon filled with laughter.
Xu Qing quickly forgot her earlier frustration and joined in the playful banter with Shen Yuyan. Tang Song enjoyed the delicious food while appreciating the company of his two beautiful alumni.
...
Jinxiu New City Apartnts.
A black BMW slowly parked in a spot downstairs. Wen Ruan stepped out, carrying her LV Speedy 35 bag.
Her colleague Zhang Xintong followed from the passenger seat, sighing in admiration. "Wen Ruan, your boyfriend treats you so well. This BMW 330i Night Edition costs over 400,000 yuan after taxes!"
"It's not a gift—he just lets drive it. You know how much I like cars." Wen Ruan locked the car and led the way upstairs.
"Still, that's amazing. I’m so jealous! You’re so lucky to have a boyfriend like Tang Song."
Wen Ruan smiled but didn’t respond. She and Zhang Xintong were assigned to the sa business trip to the Imperial Capital, with Xintong acting as her assistant. They were supposed to work late tonight, but Hu Mingli had suddenly insisted she return early for sothing important. So, she brought her assistant ho to work after dinner.
*Knock knock knock!* Wen Ruan rapped heavily on the door. Since soone was ho, she didn’t bother digging out her keys.
"Coming!" A familiar voice called out before the door swung open, revealing Zhang Ziqi’s face. "You’re finally back! We’ve been waiting for over an hour!"
Wen Ruan stepped inside and introduced, "This is my colleague, Zhang Xintong. I’ve ntioned her before."
"Oh yeah, the pretty one from your departnt, right?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Wen Ruan asked curiously, "I told you I’d be working late tonight. What’s so urgent?"
*Clap clap!* Zhang Ziqi patted her hands.
From the bedroom, Hu Mingli erged, holding a large bouquet of flowers. The red tulips clustered together like a blazing fla—vibrant and passionate.
Wen Ruan imdiately asked, "From Tang Song?"
"Who else?" Hu Mingli grinned, handing her the bouquet. "He arranged this surprise specially. There’s even a card for you inside."
Wen Ruan froze for a second before accepting the flowers. She closed her eyes, inhaled deeply, and let the rich fragrance fill her senses. Biting her plump lower lip, she pulled out an elegant card tucked between the blooms.
"Wow!" Zhang Xintong’s eyes sparkled as she leaned in. "Wen Ruan, your boyfriend is so romantic! What does it say?"
She still rembered the last company outing at Huiying Creative Park, when Tang Song had walked through the rain holding tulips. Seeing the flowers again brought that mory rushing back.
No wonder Wen Ruan had fallen for him so quickly—compared to Director Wang, Tang Song was undeniably more charming and romantic.
"Co on, read it! Mingli and I have been dying to know!"
Hu Mingli snorted. "Don’t lie, Ziqi. If I hadn’t stopped you, you would’ve peeked already!"
Zhang Ziqi chuckled sheepishly. "Enough nonsense—just open it! I’m dying to see how our male idol woos his girlfriend." Check latest chapters at noᴠelfire
Wen Ruan took a deep breath, slipped the card out of its sleeve, and gently unfolded it.
*Plop!* Three thin slips of paper fluttered to the floor.
"Sothing fell!" Zhang Xintong bent down to pick them up.
But Wen Ruan didn’t imdiately look at the fallen items. Instead, she stared blankly at the two handwritten lines:
*"If you rember the flowers, they will never wither. If you rember , I’ll always be by your side."*
*"I love you."*
Her breathing hitched at those three words. The last ti he had said them was at Yanjing Tiancheng, when he had pulled down her pants and spanked her. Now, with flowers and a love confession, her heart swelled with emotion.
"AHHHHH!" A piercing shriek erupted as Zhang Xintong collapsed onto the floor, startling the other three won.
"What’s wrong?" Zhang Ziqi asked, alard.
Zhang Xintong’s face flushed red as she stamred, pointing at the slips in her hand. "S-sis… this… Su Yu…"
"Let see!" Sensing sothing unusual, Zhang Ziqi and Hu Mingli rushed over.
Then, they both scread in excitent.
Zhang Ziqi snatched the three invitation slips, glanced at Zhang Xintong’s hopeful expression, and exclaid, "Tang Song is amazing! These must be VIP tickets for Su Yu’s concert—for all three of us!"
"Yes! Definitely!" Hu Mingli nodded vigorously, her eyes reddening.
Zhang Xintong’s lips trembled, tears welling up.
*I’ve been Su Yu’s fan for ten years!*
...
As dusk settled, soft artificial lighting gradually replaced natural light, creating a cozy and relaxed atmosphere.
Lin Muxue, exhausted from hours of work, finally stopped to admire her handiwork across the penthouse.
In the entryway closet, a row of shoe racks displayed an array of won’s footwear neatly arranged on the right side. Alongside them were her umbrella, couple’s keychains, storage boxes, scarves, and coats.
The living room sofa now boasted two pink throw pillows. On the artistic coffee table, two fashion magazines lay open.
The kitchen had gained a frilly apron, while the fridge door was plastered with colorful sticky notes—handwritten reminders and doodles filled with lovey-dovey emojis.
The bathroom shelves were stocked with her toothbrush, cup, towels, and skincare products.
The master bedroom walk-in closet, originally only one-third filled with Tang Song’s clothes, now had an entire section dedicated to her wardrobe—organized by occasion, season, and style. Her prized handbags and accessories occupied their own display cases, creating a luxurious, well-curated space.
She clenched her thighs together, eyes shining with satisfaction.
...
As night deepened, Lin Muxue sprawled across the plush bed, burying her face in Tang Song’s pillow and hugging his blanket, breathing in his lingering scent.
*"Ahh~"* A soft, euphoric moan escaped her lips.
Her cheeks flushed pink, and a restless energy overtook her. Without hesitation, she stripped off her clothes and rolled around naked on the bed, ensuring every inch carried her scent and stray hairs.
"Go big or go ho," she muttered.
Then, she tossed her clothes aside, exposing her fair skin to the air as she thrashed about freely.
Soon, she was drenched in sweat.
