The mysterious woman, whom everyone had speculated about countless times in their hearts, was now lying in bed asleep.
Just as the group was enjoying their drinks, a few figures appeared beside their booth.
Xi Shaoqi was about to raise his head to ask the newcomers to leave when he heard Huo Boxuan across from him say, "Bingxuan, what are you doing here?"
Huo Bingxuan didn’t answer her brother’s question. Instead, she cast her sorrowful gaze upon Lin Mubai, softly greeting him, "Mu Bai, you’re here too."
After being hung up on by Lan Yiqing, she had shut herself in her home for several days. During this time, she pondered deeply, wondering why Lin Mubai didn’t like her after all these years of waiting. Comparing herself to that An Nan, with whom she only had a brief acquaintance through books, she concluded that her personality must have been too flamboyant, which is why Mu Bai didn’t like her.
She remembered that An Nan always left an impression of aloofness and calmness; perhaps that’s the vibe Lin Mubai was interested in.
After figuring it out, she abandoned her usual style of dressing. She wanted to change, to become gentler.
Huo Bingxuan, who appeared before everyone anew, was no longer the flamboyant heiress of the past but wore a white dress, youthful yet charming. She visibly noticed that compared to her former self, who wore bold makeup and attire, her current self was much more popular with men.
During the day, she had spent hours shopping with her girlfriends, acquiring quite a few good items. In the evening, they had arranged to hang out at a bar on the Champs Elysees. She hadn’t frequented such places for a long time and agreed without much thought, not expecting to be so lucky to see the long-unseen Mu Bai in the bar.
His elegant figure walked amid a crowd of handsome men and beautiful women; he remained the most eye-catching one.
What pleased her most was that every man around had a female companion, except him.
This clearly indicated that he was a man who didn’t indulge in promiscuous relationships, someone worthy of a woman’s lifelong commitment. Check latest chapters at novèlfire.net
She found herself unable to resist such a man, only falling deeper in love with him.
She always believed that if she persisted, he would surely discover her virtues, and by then, what would An Nan matter? She would have to step aside.
Fixated on his figure walking into the booth, she suppressed her internal excitement, refraining from rushing up to greet him immediately.
She saw many eager silhouettes attempting to approach those heavenly figures, including her sisters beside her. A disdainful expression briefly flitted across her eyes and quickly disappeared.
Lin Mubai, the man she had protected all these years, she knew him sufficiently well to understand that these women flocking toward him would only end in embarrassment. She intended to let them embarrass themselves first and then make her move. She wanted everyone present today to understand that she, Huo Bingxuan, was different to Lin Mubai.
Watching excitedly as all the women returned disappointed, she knew it was her turn. She was confident she was different to that man.
Slowly standing up, she proudly told the sisters beside her, "I’ll go say hi."
She pointed towards Lin Mubai’s group, her expression filled with satisfaction, as if she was informing everyone about her close relationship with someone.
