Her delicate features were accentuated by smoky makeup, her eyelashes were so long they resembled brushes, and they fluttered when she spoke, which was very attractive.
"What a beautiful woman," Mo Ran admired in his heart.
If women were drawn to her, let alone men.
But Gu Yixuan merely gave a faint lift of his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently, without saying a word.
It was as if what he saw was not a stunning beauty, but merely an inanimate ornament.
His indifference sparked the curiosity of the woman next to her, who looked at Gu Yixuan with somewhat bright eyes, perhaps because she had never seen such a handsome man before.
The woman greeting him saw his cool demeanor and, not minding at all, smiled and turned to Mo Ran, asking, "Are you Gu’s companion?"
Her eyes had a faint glint of eagerness as they fixed on Mo Ran, making him feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Hello," Mo Ran replied with a polite smile.
"Hello, my name is Mi Qi, and this is my friend Jenny; we came here to eat. Are you also here for dinner? Do you mind if we sit here?"
Mi Qi asked with a beaming smile, her tone polite and gentle, making it hard to refuse her.
Mo Ran’s smile momentarily turned awkward, about to nod in agreement, when he heard Gu Yixuan’s indifferent voice.
"With so many places to choose, why must you squeeze in with us? Go away, don’t disturb our world for two."
Mi Qi’s smile froze, a flicker of embarrassment in her eyes.
Her friend Jenny tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Let’s go, we’ll sit over there." Chapters first released on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Jenny was certainly aware of Gu Yixuan’s reputation.
Seeing this man’s coldness, all her fantasies about him shattered; she couldn’t afford to interact with such a man.
Mo Ran shot Gu Yixuan a dark look, thinking how impolite he was towards women.
He looked at Mi Qi and said apologetically, "I’m sorry, that’s just his temper. Don’t take it personally."
Mi Qi gave Mo Ran a puzzled glance, and her expression seemed to worsen.
She quickly recovered her composure. "It’s fine; we were the ones imposing. We’ll go sit over there. Enjoy your meal," she said.
Mo Ran nodded with a smile, in response.
After they left, she asked Gu Yixuan, "Since you know them, why were you so rude to her?"
Gu Yixuan glanced at her, raised his hand to call the waiter over to order food, and ignored her question.
