The man sitting on the sofa had a smile lingering at the corner of his mouth, seemingly recognizing the owner of the voice.
He instinctively turned his head and looked towards the doorway.
Ran Xiangsi then got a clear look at his face.
A completely unfamiliar face.
A gentleman of grace, standing like a jade tree in the wind.
As Ran Xiangsi glanced over, she unexpectedly locked eyes with Fu Jingxuan.
Unlike Xing Chen’s enchanting gaze, Fu Jingxuan’s eyes were icy and sharp, like a wolf hiding in the dark watching its prey.
Yet the man with such a gaze had a gentle smile on his lips and vivid facial contours, making him appear approachable.
At the moment their eyes met, Ran Xiangsi suddenly felt her heart shrink a little.
Fu Jingxuan didn’t stare at Ran Xiangsi for long either; his gaze quickly swept over her without any signs of unusualness.
"Xining, long time no see." Fu Jingxuan stood up, with a smile on his face, and extended his right hand cordially towards Lou Xining.
Lou Xining rushed over and hugged him excitedly, "You finally returned to the country? Finished your research?"
"Yes, I will be staying in A City permanently from now on." Fu Jingxuan nodded, turning his attention to Ran Xiangsi and Xing Chen. "And these two are...?"
Upon hearing this, Lou Xining hurriedly released him and began introducing the three of them.
"This is my good brother, Xing Chen. This is his wife, Ran Xiangsi." After saying that, he introduced, "This is Fu Jingxuan, a renowned software engineer."
"Pleasure to meet you." Fu Jingxuan smiled and his gaze met Xing Chen’s.
The atmosphere was incredibly strange!
Two powerful auras instantly clashed!
Xing Chen remained aloof, squinting at the slightly shorter man before him, easily sensing a barely restrained yet urgent killing intent!
Heh... Xing Chen curled his lips into a smile, where did this clown come from, daring to challenge him?
In his faint smile, the whole world seemed to change color!
Xing Chen’s gaze remained unwavering, and his intense killing intent rushed straight at Fu Jingxuan!
Fu Jingxuan obviously did not expect such strength from his opponent; his eyes flickered for a moment, instantly oppressed by Xing Chen’s powerful and irresistible aura!
It was Lou Xining who, standing to the side, quickly noticed something was amiss and hurriedly pulled Fu Jingxuan away, changing the subject, "Jingxuan, you’re a computer expert too, right? Our little sister-in-law also studied computers; in fact, there’s some connection in what she learned."
With Lou Xining’s introduction, Fu Jingxuan withdrew his gaze, turned to Ran Xiangsi, and extended his right hand, "Hello."
Ran Xiangsi nodded quickly, just about to shake hands, but was pulled away by Xing Chen beside her.
Fu Jingxuan’s hand hung in the air, the smile on his face did not stiffen, on the contrary, it became even more sinister.
Lou Xining hurried over to smooth things over, "Uh, Jingxuan, have you decided where you’ll be working now that you’re back?" Follow current novels on NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt
Afterward, while Lou Xining was playing the mediator, Xing Chen coldly pulled Ran Xiangsi over to the sofa to sit down.
Ran Xiangsi thought back to the handshake with Fu Jingxuan just now and still felt a bit awkward, "You pulled me away like that, didn’t you treat him too disrespectfully? Isn’t he your good brother’s friend?"
Xing Chen, however, paid no heed to this. When he looked back in Fu Jingxuan’s direction, his deep black eyes seemed shrouded by a layer of mist, uncertain and unpredictable.
"Stay away from him." His voice was low, not as elegant and free as usual.
