Ning Youran pouted her lips, "He's like the unreachable star in the sky to me. I can only look from afar. If the male god can't become my husband, what does it matter if he's chaste or not? As long as he's handsome, that's enough. After all, I can only look; I can't touch."
Chi Huan, "..."
The Ning family is actually not bad either. Her parents are businesspeople, but the scale of their company is relatively small, incomparable to powerful families like the Mou or Tang, but they're still considered wealthy, a step above middle class.
Tang Yuezhe is the most eligible bachelor in Lancheng, without a doubt.
He is on par with Mou Xigu in terms of family background, but he's much more high-profile in his demeanor. The women in his life change constantly, yet there are always others throwing themselves at him—because he was born with a silver spoon, because he's tall and handsome, because he's not only rich and attractive but also well-educated, having come back from studying abroad with a real double degree from Harvard. He's said to be knowledgeable in various musical instruments, knows how to appreciate wine, and is skilled in driving cars.
In short, he knows how to play, loves to play, and can afford to play.
The most famous quote about him is—
"There's no woman he can't conquer, only those he doesn't notice."
Chi Huan had no idea when Ning Youran had any interaction with Tang Yuezhe. When asked, she only looked down and said she didn't know him; she just thought he was handsome... But that man was always handsome, and Youran didn't like him from the beginning.
Even though Youran always looked starstruck whenever Tang Yuezhe was around, she never thought about getting close to him, or to actually have something happen between them.
Chi Huan took it as a fleeting crush and expected that as Youran met someone she truly liked, she would gradually forget about him.
Chi Huan laughed in annoyance, "Are you here to drink with me and relieve my boredom, or to see your male god?"
Ning Youran hugged her tightly, "Of course our dear Huanhuan is more important."
Saying this, she reached out to press the elevator button.
Just as Chi Huan was about to step in, a deeply familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
Low and magnetic, casual yet commanding in his indifferent coolness, he seemed supremely confident and even contemptuous in an invisible way, "Tang Shao," his tone low and faint, "Manyue owes you a million, I'll transfer it to your account later. From then on, she won't owe you anything."
It was...
Chi Huan halted in her steps and turned to look.
Tang Yuezhe was facing her. Although they were far apart, she could still make out his handsome, albeit blurred face, and the casual, defiant aura he presented just by standing there.
Across a table, a man and a woman stood facing him.
The man was in a dark blue coat, his silhouette tall and distinguished.
It was the back she was all too familiar with, yet there was something inexplicably foreign about it.
"Huanhuan," Ning Youran gently nudged her, "Huanhuan?"
Suddenly, Chi Huan felt something and looked up towards the upper floor.
Sure enough, a devilishly handsome man stood there with a cigarette in his mouth, his thin lips seemingly curled into a slight smirk, eyes narrowed as he looked down from his height, the blue and white smoke not concealing his frivolous and sinister aura.
That was Shiqian's brother, the owner of the Gust and Pagani cars.
Chi Huan had always vaguely felt that the man was significant, but she didn't know his name.
"Youran, what's Tang Yuezhe doing here?"
"I just got here and saw you had arrived, so I didn't go over to watch the commotion, but it seems like the woman he's been chasing recently has a legitimate boyfriend, so there might be a conflict here... I heard he really likes the woman; he's been pursuing her for several months. When her dad was hospitalized, he immediately arranged for the best hospital and paid all her surgery and hospitalization expenses."
"And then?"
Ning Youran curled her lips, "Then he grabbed the chance to cling to that woman, and now her official boyfriend has appeared, but..."
She glanced at the tall and upright figure, smiled, and said, "To brazenly snatch a woman from Tang Yuezhe... and even succeed, this is truly the first time I've seen such a thing. He seems to be a wealthy and handsome guy too, truly a femme fatale."
Chi Huan gave her a sideways glance, "Do you want to go over and take a look? But aren't you usually uninterested in the affairs of strangers?"
"There are exceptions sometimes... Besides, I also want to see what kind of woman can make Youran's idol and our family's bodyguard fight over her."
Ning Youran stopped and widened her eyes, "Your... bodyguard?"
"Can't you tell that's Mo Shiqian?"
Ning Youran, "..."
The two of them walked over.
Mo Shiqian had already turned the woman next to him around, and then, their eyes unexpectedly met.
Chi Huan looked at him, then turned to the young girl beside him.
Not exactly what she had imagined, at least not living up to the 'femme fatale' label that Youran had mentioned.
Not a great beauty, with features that were ordinary when viewed separately, but her face shape was pleasing enough, and when put together, could be considered delicate and charming.
She was about her age, and according to what Mo Shiqian had said before, maybe a year or two older than her, with natural long straight black hair, a bare face without makeup, exuding an air of innocence and student-like quality.
Oh, no wonder Tang Yuezhe, who had seen countless women, had fallen at her feet. There's no shortage of beautiful women these days, but the pure and innocent type is indeed rare.
She must be... Mo Shiqian's childhood sweetheart and fiancee, right?
Mo Shiqian caught sight of Chi Huan instantly, and his brow furrowed slightly.
"Liang Manyue."
A low voice came from Tang Yuezhe's throat, carrying a gritted tone, he had already stepped out from behind the table and walked up behind them, his words laced with obvious sarcasm, "Are you sure you chose him because you love him, not just because he's your fiance since childhood?"
Mo Shiqian and Liang Manyue both stood still.
The former frowned as he watched Chi Huan, whose eyes were rolling around, and the latter was biting her lip hard with her head down, but neither of them spoke.
"Are you certain you don't like me at all, that the happiness you felt when you were with me was fake? Or... are you too worried that being with me would lead people to say you're a woman who chases wealth?"
Liang Manyue's shoulders shrunk slightly, her lip-biting intensified.
The man's strained voice was low and aggressively pressing, "Think carefully, Manyue, I love you more than he does, but if you choose him today... I, Tang Yuezhe, promise not to bother you in any way ever again."
Chi Huan could see, as any observant person could, that she was wavering.
Mo Shiqian slightly shifted to the side, black eyes deep as ancient wells, lips spread with a faint, thin smile, his presence was invisible but powerful, "Young Master Tang, a loss is a loss, don't lose the face of the Tang family in addition to the person."
Liang Manyue also seemed to have finally made her decision, biting her words as she spoke softly, "I will be getting married to my fiance soon... Young Master Tang, I hope you... will do as you said."
Tang Yuezhe stared at the woman who didn't even turn her head, a cold smile appeared on his lips, "Fine, as you wish."
Having said that, he glanced ahead and casually pulled a woman into his embrace, lowering his head to kiss her.
