Chapter 8: I’m Getting Married (8)
Ling Momo stood at the door, taking deep breaths to calm herself. It took all her effort to quell her unease. Just as she stepped into the suite, she heard a soft "click" of the door closing behind her, which sent another shiver down her spine, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
The suite was very quiet, illuminated only by a dim light. The first time she came, the room was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything. This time, however, she could clearly observe the room's lavish and opulent decor, like something out of a golden palace.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window stood a man, tall and slender, dressed in a simple white shirt, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.
Before him lay the enchanting night scene of X City: high-rise buildings, castles, small bridges over flowing water, and countless colorful lights intertwining in a dazzling display, a vibrant tapestry of light.
With just a glance, Ling Momo felt her heart tremble, instinctively lowering her head and thinking to herself, What kind of man is this, whose silhouette alone can overshadow the most enchanting night scene of X City?
"Enson," Ling Momo said respectfully as she approached within five meters of the man, "hello!"
The man continued to stand with his back to Ling Momo, without turning around.
It was so quiet in the room that their breathing sounded unusually clear.
Ling Momo stood there with her head bowed for a long time, noticing that the man did not acknowledge her. Uneasiness surged in her heart, prompting her to secretly lift her eyes again to glance at the man, and she gathered the courage to introduce herself, "My name is Ling Momo."
Upon hearing the name, the man's fingers, which were holding a teacup, trembled slightly, causing some liquid to spill onto his fair fingertips, scalding hot.
