Hua Xiaomo was stunned. By the ti she reacted, it was already too late to avoid it—his actions were clearly a feigned cover-up.
To put it plainly, in that instant, the touch had slipped past. It was light, so light that it almost sent her soul soaring.
A pair of hands steadied her shoulders. Soon after, Long Shangxuan released her with a smile and looked at the emcee. "She’s my fiancée, may we enter?"
The emcee’s face flushed with embarrassnt as she replied, "Alright then, Mr. Long, please co in."
After all, those who could enter were all major clients approved by headquarters. The staff generally couldn’t afford to offend them, yet they also had to follow procedures.
Long Shangxuan quickly led the still sowhat distracted Hua Xiaomo into the venue.
"Are you okay? I’m sorry about earlier. I had no choice," Long Shangxuan quickly explained once they were inside.
Hua Xiaomo t his gaze, a shy blush spreading across her face. "I’m fine, Brother Long." He actually said I’m his fiancée?
"That’s good. I was worried you’d bla and stop talking to . That would be a serious sin!" Long Shangxuan joked with a smile.
"How could I?" Hua Xiaomo said, sowhat bashfully. Then her gaze shifted, and she beca inexplicably nervous.
She then looked at the paintings filling the hall. "I never expected to see so many paintings here that I’ve dread of learning from..."
"Well, take your ti to appreciate them," Long Shangxuan smiled with Youya. He then accompanied Hua Xiaomo, and they slowly made their way through the gallery, examining the paintings.
Both from the sa school and sharing similar professional interests, they found each other’s insights into the paintings rather unique as they discussed them.
By noonti, Hua Xiaomo was still not ready to leave. Yet, she rembered she was supposed to go to her job at McDonald’s that afternoon.
After all, leaving things halfway was not in her nature.
However, the handso man by her side had already deduced her thoughts.
"Don’t go there anymore, Xiao Mo. For you, the best option would be to study abroad. But if you can’t go, you shouldn’t waste your youth in such a place. If you’re willing... co to my advertising company," he suggested.
"Compared to your dreams, although this might not be the best place, isn’t it the pursuit of another Chapter in life?" Long Shangxuan earnestly invited her. His phoenix eyes brimd with a bright luster.
He was well aware of her talent, which was evident from her early painting "Sunset Glow"—full of extraordinary quality and overflowing with brilliance. Becoming his assistant would definitely alleviate a lot of his pressure. Moreover, of course, there were other reasons as well.
Within Long Shangxuan’s eyes lay a very deep and inscrutable glimr, mixed with cunning and intelligence, utterly imperceptible to others.
All that remained was the image of his humble and gentlemanly exterior.
"..." Hua Xiaomo’s heart was tumultuous. Actually, I’m not too surprised he asked to join his company today. It’s just that I don’t want to trouble him like this. I don’t know why, but the closer we get, the more I’m afraid of being looked down upon, of people saying I only got into such a big company because of connections.
"Do I really qualify?" Hua Xiaomo looked at him, her eyes clear but her worry palpable. I’m just a university student who hasn’t even received her diploma yet.
If I could work at his company, that would be a stroke of trendous luck! Wow, I’ve always really liked Brother Long. I wonder if I can actually work at his company!
