Chapter 13: Everyone in An Nan for Young Master Xi’s Birthday
Han Xiayang came back from the United States this week and officially took over as the marketing manager for the Lin Group. He has been invited to today's gathering, and at this moment, he's sitting next to the main character of today, playfully nudging him on the arm and saying, "Third Young Master Xi, there are so many beauties outside, why don't you go show off a bit?"
Xi Shaoqi responded with a roll of his eyes, "If you want to go, you go."
Han Xiayang immediately shrank back in fear, "I'm not going. Those women are terrifying, caking their faces with makeup so thick, aren't they worried it'll crumble as they walk? I'm even scared that if I try to kiss them, I'll end up with a mouthful of toxic powder."
Han Xiayang's words immediately resonated with everyone, "Exactly, I really don't understand these women, and I don't get how those men are into that. Aren't they afraid of getting cancer from consuming too much of that toxic makeup?"
"Haha, one is willing to give and one is willing to take, what are you all complaining about?"
"We're just saying a few words."
"No way, no way."
Amidst the lively discussions, only one person stayed silent all the way through. Lin Mubai's thoughts had already drifted to someone's clean, fair face without any makeup. Recalling the close observation on that day, he realized the woman's skin is unusually delicate, as if pressing lightly with a finger would leave colorful marks. Thinking tonight, this woman will finally belong to him, those agitated molecules in his blood began to stir again, suddenly hearing his friend Xi Shaoqi muttering beside him: "Why hasn't An Nan arrived yet? It's almost time to cut the cake."
She hasn't arrived yet; has something happened? Lin Mubai's eyes darkened silently with concern.
He continued to look at his good brother who was making a phone call.
