  As he set the glass down, the look in his eyes grew dense; and his thoughts became clearer. He hoped that days like this would come to a stop soon, for he was getting very tired.

  He turned around and, unexpectedly, met someone directly in the eyes. Many women had stared at him. Some, even after knowing that he was married, would still offer themselves to him and wished that they were naked while they were offering. However, he was never a big fan of these women. He would usually reject them.

  He looked at the woman. Initially, she was stunned. She began to make her way towards him after a long time. Her expression was slightly shy, and it looked like she had struggled with herself before she finally decided to come over.

  Was it a gamble, or was she seeking her own doom? It was either she would get hurt or get burnt.

  “Can I buy you a drink?” She offered him a glass of wine. There was some curiosity in her eyes that was different from the other woman. They only saw him as a car, a house, or some piece of jewelry.

  “Sorry, but I’m driving.” He received the glass from her hands out of good manners and set it aside. The woman lowered her head in embarrassment and stuck the tip of her tongue out. It made her looked adorable.

  Chu Lui’s eyes narrowed abruptly as if he had seen someone else’s shadow on her.

  This expression was really similar.

  “Yixuan……”


  “What did you call me?” The woman suddenly looked up with curiosity on her petite and exquisite face. It was not obvious as she was trying hard to maintain her composure. From the constant movement in her eyes, one could tell that she was feeling nervous. She was only trying not to show it.

  “Nothing.” Chu Lui picked up a glass of fruit punch from the side. He never took his eyes away from the woman in front of him. Her attire was elegant and decent.

  “Hi. My name is Li Manni.” She reached out generously to shake Chu Lui’s hand. “I want to get to know you because you are very handsome.” She smiled in embarrassment, and her cheeks blushed a light shade of pink.

  Chu Lui set his glass down and shook her hand tightly. “Chu Lui.” There was a slight magnetic charm to his voice. It was deep and attractive, and Li Manni’s face blushed even more. Could they be considered as acquaintance starting today?

  Li Manni was vaguely familiar with his name. She looked at the man again. He was standing in front of her, and she could not take her eyes off him. She was visibly disappointed, and the distress showed in her eyes.

  So…… this was Chu Lui. The cold-blooded CEO of Chu Enterprise. All these were not important. The most important thing was that he was married.

  “Are you disappointed?” Chu Lui retracted his hand with a raise of his eyebrows. It might be because he saw a bit of Xia Yixuan in this woman, which explained why he was paying a bit more attention to her. If it was in the past, he would have just left.

  “Oh, yes. Disappointed, extremely disappointed.” Li Manni slightly pouted her red lips. That playful look caused Chu Lui’s heart to skip a beat. The resemblance was too much.

  “You are married. I already have no chance. Why is it that all good men belonged to someone else?” She did not hide her disappointment. Rather, she was expressing her thoughts honestly. Sigh…… he was the first man she had taken a liking to, but he was married. There was no chance to speak of.
