Leng Yichen's steps were unwavering, his gaze sharp as a blade, locked onto the woman ahead.
She stood there, as if at the center of the world.
Yet, between them lay an impenetrable wall of people. Excited onlookers crowded together, marveling at Ye Mo Li's beauty and her incredible hair, trying to get closer, trying to catch a glimpse—but Leng Yichen would not allow such obstacles to exist.
He raised his hand slightly and waved it casually—
Bang—!!
Like a line of dominoes, the crowd before him instantly toppled to the sides. No one shouted in anger, no one showed any dissatisfaction, not even a hint of resistance.
On the contrary—
Each person pushed back by Leng Yichen's aura wore an expression of unparalleled bliss.
It was as if being brushed by Leng Yichen's hand was akin to receiving a blessing from a deity. They collapsed to the ground, their eyes sparkling with admiration and excitement, their hearts racing with joy as they thought:
"Oh my God! I just touched Manager Leng!!"
"What an honor this is?! I've hit the jackpot in my life!!"
"I no longer need any hair care products because Manager Leng's charisma has already purified my hair!!"
However, Leng Yichen paid no mind to these mortals' intoxication and emotions; his eyes were solely focused on the woman ahead.
His steps were firm and commanding, each stride carrying an undeniable sense of pressure until—
He stood before her.
Ye Mo Li felt herself unable to move.
No, her body could still move, but her mind felt completely controlled by an invisible force. She couldn't look away, couldn't ignore the impact this man brought before her.
The moment her gaze crossed with Leng Yichen's—
—a surge of electricity erupted.
It was as if thunder struck, splitting the heavens and the earth, as if the universe had rearranged and evolved in that one second.
—Their pupils vibrated thousands of times within mere milliseconds.
Ye Mo Li's heart suddenly constricted, her breath nearly halted. She felt her soul locked in by a powerful and irresistible force, as if drawn into a black hole, unable to escape.
And Leng Yichen felt this inexplicable thrill for the first time.
He was like a cheetah that had spotted the most extreme prey. His cold eyes now glimmered with a deep light, as if he were dissecting her, analyzing her, possessing her, wanting to see through everything about her.
The fragile Ye Mo Li was like a fawn targeted by a fierce beast, completely exposed.
Ye Mo Li's body involuntarily stiffened slightly, as if frozen by an unexpected cold wave.
Her mind told her to stay calm, but her body honestly reacted with undeniable shock and pressure. This man—Leng Yichen—was a name she had heard countless times in the hair care industry. Whether in business news, financial magazines, or even secret rumors within the beauty industry, Leng Yichen was undeniably the king.
However, she had never imagined that this man would stand before her—
so close, looking directly at her.
Her eyes involuntarily scrutinized him, trying to confirm that she wasn't mistaken.
—A perfect physique, as if a high-end tailored suit had been custom-made for him. Broad shoulders and a tight waist formed a sculptural inverted triangle shape, exuding an undeniable aura of royalty as he walked;
—a handsome face with deep-set features so exquisite they seemed almost unreal. His straight nose and sharply defined jawline made every inch of him embody the extreme symbol of masculinity filtered through the most rigorous aesthetic standards;
The Cold Gaze, a pair of bottomless black eyes, resembled ancient ice—devoid of warmth yet exuding an irresistible allure that compelled one to seek the secrets within, while instinctively sensing an unassailable authority.
Ye Mo Li's breath hitched slightly.
This was Leng Yichen.
A man who could not be overlooked, no matter where he stood.
At the same time, Shen Dudu, who had been enthusiastically introducing products to several clients at her booth, froze instinctively when her peripheral vision caught that suffocating figure.
In the next moment, she abandoned her products and hurried over to Ye Mo Li's side, then quickly moved in front of Leng Yichen. Her eyes flickered, her mouth slightly parted, like a fish struggling on land, trying to speak but unable to make a sound.
She swallowed hard, standing straight with her hands neatly folded in front of her, mimicking the "standby mode" of a business mogul, quietly waiting for Manager Leng to speak.
Ye Mo Li remained still as well, while others in the venue held their breath, directing their attention to this sudden confrontation.
The atmosphere became overwhelmingly tense.
Leng Yichen's gaze was deep and icy yet carried an indescribable focus. His steps were slow but commanding, like a leopard in pursuit, quietly circling around Ye Mo Li.
He did not speak or inquire; he did not even show any obvious emotion. Yet his intense presence thickened the air, making it almost suffocating.
He was closing in on her.
Unhurriedly, Leng Yichen's footsteps had a rhythmic quality as his eyes meticulously scanned Ye Mo Li's face, her collarbone, her long arms, and then… landed on the two long braids resting on her shoulders.
Ye Mo Li tensed up completely.
She could feel that this man was extremely close to her; his breath was almost imperceptibly brushing against her neck, as if carrying some invisible scrutiny and pressure.
Her heartbeat quickened, and her breathing became slightly unsteady.
She forced herself to remain calm, tightly clutching her arms against her sides, pressing her long braids firmly under her arms in an attempt to make them appear more like ordinary hair rather than... their actual source.
However—
In that perilous moment, a sharp and deliberately mocking female voice suddenly rang out—
"Ah! Those two long braids are actually Armpit Hair! How disgusting!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire venue fell into silence!
It was as if the air had been sucked out, and everyone turned in shock to look at the source of the voice—
Su Luobing.
A malicious smile curled at the corners of her mouth, her eyes filled with mockery and jealousy. She feigned an expression of utter surprise, covering her mouth with her hands as if she had just discovered a shocking secret, her tone high-pitched and sharp, eager for everyone to hear.
Ye Mo Li's heart sank.
Her mind exploded with chaos, and the gazes around her pierced like daggers. She clutched her arms tighter, but it was already too late—
The truth had been exposed!
