The banquet hall was a scene of clinking glasses and lively conversation, with magnificent chandeliers casting a warm yellow glow. The walls were adorned with surreal murals, and the vintage European castle spiral staircase added to the romantic atmosphere created by the host.
The female guests were elegantly dressed, exuding confidence, with sparkling jewelry adorning their necks and wrists. They gathered in small groups, either sharing quiet laughter or engaging in hushed discussions, clearly enjoying each other's company. The male guests held wine glasses, sipping and exchanging pleasantries, their masks adding an air of mystery to the evening.
Xinran sat alone in a corner, her fingers lightly tracing the rim of her glass as she gazed into the pale yellow liquid within. Her expression was somewhat distant, indicating that her thoughts were elsewhere at that moment.
Her purpose for being here tonight was solely to show the paparazzi that she, Summer, was unfazed by their relentless pursuit; she was doing just fine. However, stepping through the entrance of the banquet hall meant that her objective had been achieved. Now, all she needed to do was wait for Mu Shaosi to pick her up after the event.
The romantic waltz floated through the air, and many guests were already swept away by the music, beginning to dance gracefully. The host of the banquet, Mukai Hisashi, stood in the southwest corner of the hall. He wore a tailored black suit, with cufflinks that sparkled brightly, but nothing could outshine the Eagle Beak Badge pinned to his chest.
Mukai Hisashi's gaze was deep and slightly melancholic. The subtle stubble on his cheeks only enhanced his masculine charm. At first glance, one would never guess that this man was over forty; his charisma easily masked any signs of aging.
“Dad, she's beautiful, isn't she?” Mukai Saki teased with a smile as she spoke.
“Of course. Even sitting quietly in a corner, she radiates countless charms,” Mukai Hisashi replied, glancing at Xinran in accordance with his daughter's words.
“So if she weren't Young Master Si's woman, you'd make your move immediately, right?” After hearing Mukai Hisashi's response, Mukai Saki's voice dropped slightly. She took a sip of champagne before continuing her inquiry.
Since Young Master Si and Summer had reached an understanding, he no longer arranged for women to approach or seduce Shou. However, that did not mean there would be fewer women around him. He never revealed that he was the master of Japanese Cherry Blossom Hall; even just holding the title of Operations Director at Qingtian Group was enough to attract women to him.
Recently, a rising star named Yong Ni had approached Shou. She candidly offered to exchange her body for a chance to sign with Qingtian. Mukai Saki knew that this naive Yong Ni would not get what she wanted; stars signed by Sky Media were chosen based on their future potential rather than their physical appearance. Moreover, Xu Yongni's figure was not particularly impressive—certainly not as good as Mukai Saki's!
However, she accidentally saw the scene of Shou and Xu Yongni rolling on the bed. In truth, it wasn't an accident; she knew it all too well. Given her understanding of Shou, Xu Yongni would never be able to resist his charm, making it all too easy for her to fall into the web of desire. Their bodies intertwined, and with just a glance, she could almost imagine Shou sweating profusely as he indulged in Xu Yongni.
Are all men merely creatures of desire? She wasn't sure, but she was certain that the man she had kept in her heart for many years, Mukai Hisashi, was one who lived among flowers year-round. Falling in love with him was a self-inflicted torment. Seeing him with someone else felt like a knife twisting in her heart—also self-inflicted!
"I choose women based on my preferences!" Mukai Hisashi frowned slightly. Xuan seemed a bit off, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
"Then, does Xinran suit your taste?"
"I won't answer that question!"
"Alright, let me ask another: Does Xu Yongni suit your taste?" She knew she shouldn't ask this; she wasn't anyone to him and had no right to inquire. Her tone sounded more like that of a jealous woman or a wife left alone at home!
"She is merely a dessert served up on a platter!" Mukai Hisashi said dismissively, clearly not taking Xu Yongni seriously.
"Haha!" Xuan chuckled lightly. A dessert served up on a platter? Then she was too, and perhaps even cheaper—a street-side snack!
"You would never ask such things, Mukai Saki!"
"Dad, just pretend my brain suddenly malfunctioned!" The smile on her lips widened. At this moment, all she could do was cover up with laughter—desperately trying to mask her feelings…
