The dim lighting in the restaurant was not very bright and formed a layer of dark light on the cold silhouette at the entrance. The man’s expression was dark to the point it was almost murderous, and his aura was cold, making the air around him seem chilling enough to freeze everything around him into ice.
Zhang Yijun hurriedly stood up to welcome Mu Sihan when he saw him. “President Mu, have you eaten dinner? If you haven’t yet, would you like to join us?”
Mu Sihan’s deep gaze landed on Nan Zhi. She was not looking at him and was talking to Xia Xi, who was beside her with her head tilted towards her.
Zhang Yijun looked in the direction Mu Sihan was staring towards. He was about to say something when he saw Mu Sihan’s tall body move and walk to the empty seat beside Zhang Yijun.
After Mu Sihan sat down, the team members were clearly a lot more reserved, especially those female colleagues who had been scared off by him. They all looked down and ate quietly, not daring to look at him.
Jing Yang was sitting on the other side of Nan Zhi. His impression of her had increased multiple folds ever since she smiled at him.
He was especially friendly and chatty given his newfound impression of her and he did not notice the silent exchange between Mu Sihan towards Nan Zhi. He would take some food for Nan Zhi using the common chopsticks and make jokes with her in a lighthearted manner.
Nan Zhi laughed at his stories and enjoyed the company.
However, Nan Zhi felt something was wrong when she laughed. It was as though a dark, prickling sensation was drilling holes into her. From the moment she looked up, her eyes met a pair of deep black orbs that gave her a dark gaze.
Mu Sihan was drinking alcohol with Zhang Yijun, his tall body leaned against the back of the chair exuding a cold demeanour. The light made his facial features appear exquisite and refined, while giving him a charismatic and magnetic appeal. His long straight eyebrows were raised slightly, while emitting a lazy and uninhibited wildness.
His deep black orbs focused on Nan Zhi as he drank the alcohol. His gaze was naked and straightforward. Nan Zhi’s heart seemed to stop for a few seconds when she looked into his pair of deep eyes.
This man did not care at all about what others thought of him. Nan Zhi felt her scalp tingling from being stared at by him in such a way.
“Xiao Zhi, can you guess which dish is made by me?” Jing Yang’s voice trailed from beside her.
Nan Zhi regained her senses and looked around the dining table, following Jing Yang’s gaze. She took her chopsticks and pointed at the plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots that she noticed Jing Yang’s gaze stopped at. “That one.”
“Xiao Zhi, you’re really clever. Try it! Do you think it tastes okay?” Jing Yang took a piece for Nan Zhi.
Nan Zhi took a bite and nodded with a smile. “It’s not bad.”
Mu Sihan downed another mouthful of alcohol. His black eyes darkened thunderously under his straight brows.
This woman was really skillful at seducing people.
Brother Gu Sheng was still in Ning City, and here was another friendly and handsome young man.
The two of them ignored his presence and were exchanging conversation as they chatted happily.
To think she even dared to smile at that boy so pleasantly in front of him!
Mu Sihan’s grip on the cup tightened after seeing her eat the bamboo shoots that the boy had given her. A loud shattering sound erupted in the room. It was the sound of a glass cup shattering from being gripped too forcefully…
“Ah!”
Several girls were all frightened when they saw what had happened.
However, compared to the shattering of the cup, the man’s expression was even more frightening.
The extremely handsome face had become cold and sharp and his facial features were tensed as a dark fire ignited in his deep black eyes. It seemed like he wanted to burn the woman opposite him to death.
Several female colleagues and Jing Yang, who did not initially know that he was the one who started the war, finally understood.
There was definitely something fishy going on between their host, Nan Zhi, and their exclusive sponsor.
“Young master Mu, your hand…” Zhang Yijun glared at Jing Yang. This boy was too insensitive. How could he anger their exclusive sponsor like that?
Jing Yang touched his nose sheepishly. He was innocent! He did not know that Nan Zhi had something going on with their sponsor at all!
