Yan Xinxin's starry eyes widened in utter bewilderment; she hadn't expected this at all!
Her mind spiraled into chaos in that single moment...
Yan Xinxin's thoughts were in complete disarray.
Just as Yan Xinxin was about to struggle, she suddenly heard a woman calling Mo Chuxi's name.
Mo Chuxi was actually smiling at her.
And it was one of those exceptionally gentle and captivating smiles.
The rhythmic sound of high heels clicking approached from afar.
Yan Xinxin jolted in surprise.
Earlier, it had sounded like a woman calling Mo Chuxi's name!
Her heartbeat involuntarily quickened. Nervously turning her head, Yan Xinxin's gaze landed on an impossibly radiant and beautiful face.
Yan Xinxin faltered for a moment, unable to believe that the woman walking toward them was none other than the wildly famous A-list actress, Mu Qianshui!
In person, she was even more stunning and graceful than she appeared on screen—an aura of refined sophistication and elegance surrounded her. And it was well-known that her family's background was anything but simple.
Instinctively, Yan Xinxin thought Mu Qianshui might be angry, but what she witnessed was her lips curving into a smile as she cast a delicate glance at Mo Chuxi—a smile that brimmed with an allure capable of toppling empires.
"Chuxi, it's been a while. I never expected that upon my return, you'd give me such a big surprise."
Mu Qianshui spoke playfully, her enchanting eyes filled with affection as they lingered on the stoic-faced man, before shifting to the visibly stunned and slightly dazed Yan Xinxin.
"Hello, I'm Mu Qianshui. May I ask... are you Chuxi's companion?"
Yan Xinxin vaguely caught the deeper meaning behind the words. As she stared at Mu Qianshui's smiling visage, she returned a composed smile.
"Hello, my name is Yan Xinxin, and I am with President Mo..."
Mo Chuxi's deep, pleasant voice suddenly interjected.
The smile on Yan Xinxin's petite face froze abruptly, and at the same time, she noticed the faint twitch in Mu Qianshui's expression. She seemed surprised, though her composure and emotions were impeccably controlled.
It appeared that only Yan Xinxin was shocked to the point of near petrification!
Mo Chuxi walked over to stand at Yan Xinxin's side with an air of calm indifference, extending his hand to take hers.
The moment his fingertips brushed against her palm, Yan Xinxin felt as though her heart was being teasingly nudged by someone—it tickled.
But why would he say such a thing, and why suddenly take her hand?
"Let me formally introduce Yan Xinxin, my girlfriend."
Upon hearing Mo Chuxi's introduction, Yan Xinxin suddenly came to a realization.
The collaboration he wanted—could this be his method of using her?
Mu Qianshui seemed momentarily taken aback but quickly offered a subtle smile.
"Chuxi, congratulations. All these years, I've been worried you were still trapped in the pain of losing my sister. Seeing that you've finally found someone you love again makes me truly happy for you."
Mu Qianshui's words fell, and Yan Xinxin froze, faintly sensing the air pressure drop significantly around them.
She was genuinely surprised. So Mo Chuxi had loved someone before—or more precisely, Mu Qianshui's sister. Yet, it seemed that girl was already... gone?
