"This is?"
Huang Lili"s red lips gracefully open, waiting for her to introduce the man.
"This is my boyfriend," Yun Shishi smilingly introduced.
Mu Yazhe"s expression did not look too good.
"Oh, dear. I thought he"s your husband! He"s really handsome!"
"Yes, you and your boyfriend look great together!"
She glanced at him before saying, "There"ll be a promotion in no time."
"Promotion?"
"Do you mean he"ll be promoted into your husband?"
"When do you guys plan to get your marriage certificates?"
She replied, "We have yet to register."
"We"ll wait for the wedding banquet, then. Send me an invitation, okay? I"ll make sure to wrap you a huge red packet!"
"Anyway, how did you meet your soon-to-be husband?"
"What is his occupation?"
She pursed her lips, replying, "A company employee."
"Employee?"
All of a sudden, someone let out a laugh. The crowd was silent thereafter.
Initially, judging from his respectable demeanor, many thought that he was from a wealthy family!
Who knew that he was just a regular company employee?
The atmosphere turned a little awkward.
Jiang Li frowned. These people kept asking Yun Shishi all sorts of questions, but when they learned that her boyfriend was just a company employee, everyone suddenly turned quiet.
Was this not cruel?
What of him being a company employee?
Seemingly wanting to smooth things over, Huang Lili spoke. The atmosphere just turned stranger at this, though. "My boyfriend used to be a company employee, too; now, he"s a manager."
As soon as she said that, someone laughed and responded, "Lili, this isn"t comparable. Your man is born rich; that company is his family business. It"s different from this!"
"That"s right! Lili, I really envy you! When you and your boyfriend get married, you"ll become a wealthy family"s mistress and rise in social status!"
She pursed her lips into a smile and pretended to be shy. "Stop making fun of me, you guys!"
"Our Lili will soon be a wealthy mistress. I"m so envious of you, but sadly, I don"t have such great fortune!"
In a moment, the crowd flocked to her with all kinds of flatteries.
She seemed decent and generous outwardly, but she was actually bursting with joy inwardly.
This was her first time stealing the limelight from Yun Shishi.
It felt extremely satisfying inside.
"Eh? Lili, where"s your boyfriend?"
"He"s still at the company, but he"ll be here later!"
Huang Lili smiled apologetically. "Everyone please have fun first, we do not have to wait for him."
"How can we do that?"
"No worries! Let"s wait a little longer."
Not long after, Xiao Xue and Gao Nan arrived as well. Entering alongside them was their former cla.s.s monitor, Meng Qinghe.
The moment he entered the chamber and noticed Yun Shishi"s presence, he was excited beyond words.
As Gao Nan stepped into the room, he noticed her sitting with a handsome stranger.
He of course had not met Mu Yazhe before. Therefore, his heart got filled with suspicion.
Who was this man?
He seemed so intimate with her!
Gao Nan"s gaze refused to leave her, but she did not even pay attention to him.
Mu Yazhe, meanwhile, caught that look on the man"s face. Seeing the new arrival"s fiery gaze on his woman, he sensed the danger and certain hidden implications.
They were both men. As such, the desire brewing in the man"s eyes could not pa.s.s unnoticed before him.
He raised his arm and hugged his woman"s shoulders. Unconsciously, he declared his power!
