Chapter 141

Shu Xia glanced at the ring on Mu Yu's finger.

An expensive antique.

If it weren't a symbol of wealth and status, people like them wouldn't wear it; after all, designer accessories from high-end luxury brands are more fashionable nowadays.

However...

She curled the corners of her lips.

She swept a glance at the beautiful model sitting on the sofa; what a pity.

Some people think that playing with women is playing with trends, little knowing they are stepping into an abyss step by step.

"Did Qiao bring a secretary today?" Shen Anran's voice suddenly rose slightly.

Her gaze finally swept toward the few people on the side.

Situ Ye gave a half-smile, "Did Miss Shen only just notice that there are a few of us here?"

"I'm afraid Miss Shen only has eyes for Qiao!" Lu Lin teased.

Shen Anran's gaze finally landed on Shu Xia.

She remembered Shu Xia.

It was hard not to remember Shu Xia.

Last time in Qiao Muting's car, she saw Qiao Muting looking at Shu Xia, lost in thought.

At the time, she only thought Shu Xia happened to fit Qiao Muting's aesthetic, which was why Qiao Muting took a few extra looks.

She hadn't thought deeply about who Qiao Muting was; Qiao Muting must have seen women with looks like Shu Xia's before, so how could he be so focused on observing someone just met on the street?

So, was she a secretary?

Qiao Muting had Zhang Tezhu by his side; when would he ever need a female secretary?

She could easily imagine the reason why a female secretary would be needed.

Suddenly, her heartstrings tightened.

"Hello, Miss Shen, I am Qiao's secretary."

Since Shen Anran had already asked, Shu Xia naturally had to step forward to introduce herself.

She hadn't expected to be able to meet Shen Anran in person today.

She looked much better in person than on television.

As expected of someone from a scholarly family, the temperament she carried was something many people could not cultivate.

The smile on Shen Anran's face remained appropriate and gentle as she nodded toward Shu Xia, "Hello."

Seeing Mu Yu beside Shu Xia, and that the two seemed to have just exchanged a few words with the smile still lingering on Shu Xia's face, Qiao Muting immediately darkened his eyes and walked over.

Seeing Qiao Muting approach, Mu Yu sat back down on the sofa and put his arm around the beautiful model.

Shu Xia was somewhat surprised to see Qiao Muting come directly to her.

Was he not afraid of Shen Anran getting angry?

"Is the orange juice good?" Qiao Muting asked Shu Xia.

Shu Xia nodded blankly, "It's quite good, slightly tart."

Seeing Qiao Muting go straight to Shu Xia's side, Shen Anran's expression stiffened slightly.

Jiang Tu was a sharp person; seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, he called everyone to go eat cake.

After it ended.

Jiang Tu thought of something; he had invited Qiao Muting and Shen Anran today specifically to play matchmaker for them, to do a favor by going with the flow.

"Anran, did you drive?"

Shen Anran knew exactly what he meant and shook her head: "I had some wine at dinner, so I took a taxi here."
