531: Chapter 447 Encounter_2 531: Chapter 447 Encounter_2 At this moment, it was as if time itself had frozen.
She stood rigid, her body trembling slightly, eyes revealing a complex expression.
They stood facing each other, eyes locked.
Time seemed to freeze at that very moment, coming to a standstill.
Feelings of longing erupted like a flood, as if traversing a thousand years, finally reaching the depths of each other’s hearts.
Su Mo’s mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something.
But this sudden encounter left him at a loss, tense with nervousness.
The myriad of thoughts within him also became chaotic at the moment of meeting, leaving him clueless about what to say.
“What a coincidence,”
Qian Chengxue replied calmly, but inside she was in utter disarray.
Just then, the sound of firm footsteps approached, and whispers of surprise came from the guests.
“Look, look, is that Wang Hai?
“It really is Wang Hai.”
Didn’t you see he’s holding flowers?
Wouldn’t we be third-wheeling if we went up now?”
“Ah, the heartthrob is taken…”
“Enough, whether he’s taken or not, it’s clear we’re not in his league.
Wang Hai walked over, dressed in a sharp black suit with a bow tie and black leather shoes, carrying a bouquet of flowers with pride.
His impeccably professional demeanor and handsome face made him particularly dazzling.
At that moment, Wang Hai walked up to Qian Chengxue and greeted, “Cheng Xue, sorry I’m late.”
Qian Chengxue came to her senses and looked at Wang Hai.
Wang Hai handed the flowers to Qian Chengxue.
Qian Chengxue accepted the flowers with a bit of panic.
She had specifically invited Wang Hai to dinner to thank him for his help last time.
As colleagues and friends, she couldn’t refuse the flowers.
There wasn’t any special meaning behind it, but for some reason, Qian Chengxue felt flustered with Su Mo nearby.
“Is this your friend?”
Wang Hai had also noticed Su Mo, feeling a vague sense of familiarity as if he had seen him somewhere before, and asked.
Qian Chengxue nodded in acknowledgment.
Although Wang Hai was somewhat surprised, he still politely said to Su Mo, “Hello, would you like to join us?”
Su Mo, coming to his senses with mixed feelings inside, said, “No, thank you, I have friends waiting over there.
He then walked toward Karina.
Karina, not far away, had naturally witnessed this scene; she sighed softly, but her expression quickly returned to normal.
Reality is cruel, but one must face it directly.
Qian Chengxue watched Su Mo sit down beside Karina, her heart growing more flustered for some reason.
At the same time, a hint of astonishment arose in Qian Chengxue’s heart; she was surprised to find that the woman having dinner with Su Mo was the same one she had encountered in the changing room, who bore some resemblance to her.
Wang Hai, seeing Qian Chengxue standing still and lost in thought, called out to bring her back.
“Sorry, I was just thinking about something.”
Qian Chengxue apologized.
“No worries, shall we go then?”
Qian Chengxue nodded and walked towards a spacious table in the corner.
On the central stage, the singer passionately performed soft melodies.
The beautiful and melodious music enveloped the restaurant.
After returning to the table, Su Mo focused on his meal, appearing deeply preoccupied.
For reasons he couldn’t explain, Su Mo felt somewhat adrift.
Karina, naturally noticing Su Mo’s mood wasn’t great, didn’t ask any further, merely quietly filled his glass to the brim.
Meanwhile, Qian Chengxue also seemed distracted as she ate with Wang Hai.
“I’ve been intensifying my training recently.
My fourth-generation Biological Mecha is almost repaired, and it’s about time for the compatibility work.”
“That’s great, congratulations.”
I’m both looking forward to it and feeling the immense pressure.”
“With your capabilities, there shouldn’t be a problem.”
“I hope everything goes smoothly.”
Wang Hai wasn’t completely certain; after all, his fourth-generation Biological Mecha was said to be somewhat different from the regular ones.
Its core structure housed a Monster from the Space Alien Species with an AT field, known for its formidable combat power.
Of course, the accompanying pollution level was extremely high as well!
Qian Chengxue occasionally spoke to Wang Hai, her gaze unintentionally drifting towards SU Mo in the distance.
Because of the angle and distance, Qian Chengxue could only see Su Mo’s back, but she could clearly see Karina attentively pouring wine and serving food to Su Mo as they seemed quite close.
Caught in her trance, Qian Chengxue reacted to Wang Hai’s call.
“Nothing much, why aren’t you eating?
You haven’t touched your chopsticks for a while.”
Wang Hai said with gentlemanly concern.
Qian Chengxue hurriedly replied.
Wang Hai felt a bit puzzled as he noticed Qian Chengxue’s unusual state, appearing absent-minded.
However, he didn’t think much of it, assuming that Qian Chengxue was under a lot of pressure recently.
He was well aware of Qian Chengxue’s position as a substitute, which was different from that of other substitutes.
Dealing with someone as proud as Hai Mo, she hadn’t touched a fourth-generation Biological Mecha in a long time.

After a while, Su Mo finished his drink in one gulp and said to Karina, “It’s getting late, let’s call it a meal here.”
