Chapter 226

The night shrouded Di'du East Road, falling gently like a thin veil.

On the street, the lights flickered like flowing gold.

Everything in front of them seemed to have been added with a retro filter.

Making every brick, every window, and every character stained with the traces of age.

Xiao Xue, wearing a black dress with exquisite makeup, bright red lips, and long wavy hair, leaned against the balcony railing, vaguely possessing the charm of a Magic City beauty from the old era.

Beside and behind her stood several young men and women.

Elegant, confident, socially active, and pursuing quality.

This scene reminded Tang Song of how she looked when he first met her.

At that time, it was also purely because he thought she was beautiful that he noticed her unusual behavior.

He wasn't too surprised to run into her here; after all, it was only 1 kilometer from the Bvlgari Hotel.

The only thing that was a bit unpleasant was that overly active socializing easily attracted bees and butterflies.

For example, Xu An.

"That big beauty is looking our way; it seems she's looking at you!" Li Zhixi nudged him with his shoulder and said excitedly in a low voice, "Brother Song, do you want to go add her WeChat? I feel there's a lot of hope; give it a try, anyway, even if you fail, your buddy won't laugh at you."

The reason he dared to encourage Tang Song to ask for WeChat, besides the fact that this guy was indeed handsome now, was also because he had heard Qiu Yu say that Tang Song was very awesome now and had a lot of face at Huashang Fashion.

Combined with what he heard him say about Songmei Fashion while eating just now, it proved that his company should be doing very well and had cooperation with big enterprises like Huashang.

Hearing Li Zhixi's words, Tang Song smiled lightly. "Why isn't it her taking the initiative to ask for my WeChat? When will we boys be able to stand up! So angry!"

"Holy crap, you really don't understand romance; if you can win over such a top-tier girl, that's the biggest face." Li Zhixi couldn't help but secretly look at the balcony again. "She's still looking at you; there's a chance!"

This woman was indeed beautiful and exquisite, and her attire was also gorgeous, like a beautiful female supporting character who walked out of a Korean drama, her appearance quite aggressive.

Compared to her, Qiu Yu or Zhang Xi both seemed quite mediocre.

In fact, there were also some similar high-quality women in their company.

Petty bourgeois, aloof, elegant, sexy.

Although they weren't as outstanding as this, the feeling they gave off was very similar.

For this kind of woman, he didn't have any unrealistic thoughts at all; they were clearly not people on the same path.

…

"BGM: It's regret slowly eroding my heart, wiping away the last teardrop, from now on never crying for anyone…"

The music in the bar gradually subsided.

"Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue." A-Xing said with a chuckle, "What other songs do you want to hear? I'll tell the staff."

"Ah—" Lin Mu shuddered, her tipsiness completely gone, subconsciously moving to the side, further away from A-Xing.

A layer of fine sweat instantly surfaced on her forehead; she had no heart to deal with him at all, her hand gripping the wine glass very tightly.

"What's wrong, Mu?" Wang Mei behind her quickly asked with concern.

Others also looked over curiously.

"Nothing." Lin Mu took a deep breath, facing Tang Song's direction, barely managing to show a smile on her face.

Her brain turned rapidly.

【He came to the Magic City! The surprise tonight? The surprise tonight!】

【Is this the surprise for Qian Qian!? This…】

In Lin Mu's heart, the image she had in Tang Song's eyes should be quite good.

A standard elegant, independent woman, working in a financial company, beautiful and fashionable.

After the cold treatment when she asked for WeChat before, it was only after much difficulty that she had brought their relationship closer, and she also had a certain amount of confidence in her subsequent plans.

Now Tang Song suddenly saw her running out to drink, with other men by her side.

Would he misunderstand something?

Heaven have mercy, I, Xiao Xue, have always kept myself clean!

Coming out today was purely to slap her university classmates in the face; these two men both came up on their own, I'm not familiar with them!

Li Xinyi and Cao Jingsi, who knew Lin Mu better, soon discovered her abnormality.

Following her gaze downward, they saw two figures standing there.

Under the dim streetlights, Tang Song was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and carrying a backpack, looking just like a university student.

However, the temperament on his body made him appear mature and elegant.

Especially standing on the retro Magic City street, he was very charming.

As for Li Zhixi, who was standing on the left with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was automatically ignored by them.

Xu An raised his slender eyebrows and muttered, "Tang Song?"

Once this name came out, the expression on Lin Mu's face changed again.

【How would Xu An know Tang Song?】

Wang Mei asked curiously, "Xu An, do you know that handsome guy?"

"Hehe, met him once." Xu An stood next to Lin Mu and said softly, "Xiao Xue, do you know him?"

He had a deep impression of this boy who had some entanglements with Qiuqiu.

Especially today, hearing Qiuqiu say they even went to the film festival together to support Su Yu.

He could see at a glance what this guy was thinking.

Isn't it just wanting to use the topic of Su Yu to pick up girls?

In fact, he also relied on the identity of "Su Yu's die-hard fan" in high school to become Cheng Qiuqiu's good friend.

This time she came to the Magic City, he also entertained her well, thinking about taking their relationship a step further.

It's just that Qiuqiu was really too cold; she could say she was focused on her studies in high school, but now it was clearly a bit abnormal.

Don't know if she's frigid; she wasn't even moved by a handsome celebrity like him who was skilled in both virtue and art.

Lin Mu's mouth twitched, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Tang Song downstairs withdraw his gaze, seemingly wanting to leave.

Her heart jumped, and she placed her wine glass directly on the edge of the balcony and shouted, "Tang Song! Wait a moment!"

The voice drifted on the street, attracting the attention of many people.

It also successfully made Tang Song look over again.

Lin Mu, however, couldn't care less about so much, simply said "See you next time" to the others, gripped her beloved Hermès, and walked toward the bistro.

Her footsteps became faster and faster, her high heels stepping with extra force.

…

Li Zhixi's eye corners twitched. "Why did it seem like I heard her calling your name just now? Am I hallucinating?"

Tang Song nodded. "She was indeed calling me; we know each other."

"Holy crap!" Li Zhixi patted his shoulder hard. "Not bad, hiding your light under a bushel, actually knowing such a top-tier girl. Brother Song, tell your buddy the truth, did you come to the Magic City to chase her?"

"I get it, no wonder I sent you several restaurants, and you finally chose this one; it turns out it was because of this reason!"

"But that's right, you were awesome in university, entered a big factory after graduation, and are now starting a business; you must know quite a few outstanding women."

"Keep it up, keep it up; if you can win over this girl, that's so much face!"

He was talking to himself excitedly there, digesting his shock, but his gaze couldn't help but look toward the entrance of the Shamei Building.

Soon he saw a sexy and graceful figure.

Her face was tense, and across a street, her gaze was fixed straight on Tang Song.

She didn't go around to the traffic lights at the intersection, but waited for the traffic to be cut off and ran directly across the road.

As the distance closed, Li Zhixi subconsciously looked away, not daring to look at the other party.

"Da da da—" As the distance closed, Lin Mu's footsteps gradually slowed down, and she stood in front of Tang Song.

A barely managed smile appeared on her face. "Tang Song, what a coincidence; I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Hmm, good evening, Xiao Xue." Tang Song nodded at her with a smile, sizing up Lin Mu in front of him.

Under the black dress were long legs wrapped in silk stockings, straight and smooth, comparable to the models seen on the internet.

The large expanse of exposed skin was snow-white and smooth in the night.

Her hands hung at her sides, her lips pressed tightly, looking at Tang Song's eyes cautiously.

They were still warm and clear, seemingly without any negative emotions.

After thinking for a while, she gently brushed back the hair by her ear and explained in a low voice, "I'm here today to gather with university classmates, to drink and reminisce about the past."

She had been thinking about the gift Qian Qian mentioned, indeed thinking of slipping away after putting on airs, but didn't expect to be bumped into by Tang Song at a critical moment.

Tang Song nodded. "Oh, then you go back to drink; I'll go first, strolling around the streets with a friend."

Lin Mu's heart jumped, and she quickly grabbed his arm, saying in a low voice, "It's already past 9 o'clock; I was originally thinking of going back soon, so let's go together."

Tang Song looked up and met the gazes of Xu An and the others, saying, "Your friends are still watching you; you came down so hurriedly just now, don't you need to go back and say goodbye properly?"

Lin Mu's face turned pale, and she looked at the balcony. "I've already said hello; I came to the Magic City to accompany Qian Qian to attend an event, and meeting old classmates was just a coincidence on the plane. As for those two men, I'm not familiar with them at all, and haven't had much contact."

"Is that so? Then let's walk together." Tang Song nodded gently, placed his hand directly on her waist, turned her body, and introduced with a smile, "This is my university roommate, Li Zhixi."

"Zhixi, this is my friend, Lin Mu; you can just call her Xiao Xue."

Lin Mu, who breathed a sigh of relief, instantly bloomed with a bright smile on her face and said enthusiastically, "Hello, Zhixi."

After speaking, she secretly glanced at Tang Song and took the initiative to lean against him.

Although she didn't know why, she wouldn't let go of such a good thing.

"Glug—" Li Zhixi swallowed hard, his eyes staring straight. "Hello, hello!"

His gaze looked at Tang Song's hand hugging Xiao Xue's waist, and he suddenly realized something.

Holy crap, Tang Song has already won her over?

Boyfriend and girlfriend?

He looked up at the graceful Lin Mu.

Wearing high heels, she was about the same height as him, and at close range, he could feel the charm coming from her even more.

For a moment, his heart was very complicated.

It felt a bit like fearing for his brother's suffering, yet also fearing his brother would drive a Land Rover.

……

On the small balcony, the air suddenly became quiet.

Li Xinyi and the two university classmates looked at each other, saying in surprise, "Is that boy Mu's boyfriend?"

"Doesn't look like a rich person either?" Cao Jingsi said sourly. "Just a bit more handsome; his attire looks very ordinary."

Wang Mei shook her head. "Hard to say; at least his temperament is very good; maybe he's just low-key."

They hadn't chatted privately on WeChat just now, all guessing what kind of rich guy Lin Mu had latched onto.

They even fantasized that the other party was a "bald, greasy middle-aged man," "an old man with bad breath," or some other terrible image.

At this moment, seeing her with a tall, handsome, and temperamental boy, they were a bit broken.

Xu An on the side kept his gaze fixed on Tang Song's back downstairs, watching his hand touch Lin Mu's waist unscrupulously, gnashing his teeth.

Cheng Qiuqiu before, Lin Mu now; why does it feel like this Tang Song has a grudge against him?

Damn, sooner or later I'll give you some resistance!

Although young and frivolous, he still had basic reason and judgment.

Lin Mu's own background was not ordinary; Tang Song, who could make her treat him like this, must also have a background.

He was just an 18th-tier small actor who had just started; he would have to be crazy to provoke them.

Even if he felt disgusted in his heart and wanted to vent, he would have to wait until he grew stronger.

…

"This is the biggest highlight of Di'du East Road, Yifeng Bund Source, built in 1911, a five-story brick-wood structure…"

The three circled for a while, walked out of Di'du East Road again, and came to the side of the Bund again.

Under the overcast clouds, Lujiazui shone brightly.

Tang Song looked into the distance, breathing the river breeze mixed with perfume, his hand holding Lin Mu's waist slightly tightened.

The smile on Lin Mu's face became even brighter.

Tang Song had actually been holding her waist the whole time, and he was always smiling when he spoke; the little episode just now shouldn't have been taken to heart by him.

Thinking of this, her whole person felt like she was floating.

She had already drunk a lot of wine at the Hermès fashion show, and had drunk a few more cups of fruit wine at the bistro just now.

The city walk just now had covered a lot of ground; at this moment, the tipsiness was surging, making her face flushed.

Even her courage had grown a lot; she turned her body sideways and rubbed against him with her chest.

Looking at his side profile with a straight nose and thin lips, she couldn't help but start to fantasize.

(o≧▽≦)o. Haha~

One day, I will press this face between my legs and enjoy the pleasure of conquering a male god.

Thinking of the excitement, her body trembled slightly.

The three walked along the Bund road for a while longer.

Li Zhixi looked at the two and said, "Brother Song, it's quite late, I should also withdraw. It's not too far from the subway station here; are you taking a taxi or going to the subway station with me?"

His company was around here, but he lived quite far away, and taking a taxi was not cost-effective.

Hearing this, Lin Mu's eyes turned, and she quickly said, "Wait a moment, I'll call a car; Zhixi, don't you live around Line 14? Let's just send you directly to the Line 14 station, saving you the time of transferring."

After speaking, she dialed the driver's phone directly and said the location in a low voice.

Li Zhixi was stunned, but didn't refuse again. "Thanks, Xiao Xue."

Lin Mu was still acting generous on the surface, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

It was rare for her to have a chance to be alone with Tang Song, so naturally, she didn't want to return to the hotel so soon.

Once she returned to the Bvlgari, she would completely become an outsider, unlike now where she was so intimate.

Tang Song raised his wrist to check the time; unknowingly, it was already past 22:00.

He patted Zhixi's shoulder and smiled. "I won't be able to stay in the Magic City for long, but I should come often in the future; let's gather more then."

"OK, maybe I'll run to Yan City sometime; let's gather the guys from our dorm to drink then."

…

The two chatted warmly for a few sentences.

A Bentley with double flashers stopped slowly.

The car was magnificent and full of momentum.

Li Zhixi's eyebrows jumped, subconsciously looking at Lin Mu, pursing his dry lips, his head buzzing.

Holy crap! Holy crap!

No way, sister!? Your ride is a Bentley?

The cold driver in a suit and leather shoes drilled out from the driver's seat. "Ms. Lin."

Lin Mu nodded gently, took the initiative to open the passenger door, and smiled. "Zhixi, why don't you sit in the passenger seat? Tang Song and I will sit in the back."

Li Zhixi nodded vigorously and sat in, feeling a bit constrained and nervous.

High-end fragrance, top-tier luxurious interior, soft and comfortable high-end seats.

A sense of unreality wrapped around him.

"Click—" The rear door was closed.

The black Bentley sped off slowly, driving toward the Line 14 subway station.

Looking at the scenery flashing past outside the window, Li Zhixi's gaze gradually blurred.

In a trance, he still remembered that when he first came to the Magic City, he, riding a shared bike, almost hit such a big Bentley.

He remembered his own fear and trembling at that time.

He also remembered the figure sitting in the car, calm and composed, high and mighty, as well as the other party's indifferent gaze.

At that time, he felt more awe and embarrassment.

Yet he didn't expect that he would also be sitting in such a car.

Looking at the two in the back seat through the rearview mirror, Li Zhixi's mind drifted.

This development of the situation exceeded his imagination.

He didn't understand luxury goods; he originally thought this Xiao Xue was just a graceful big beauty, but didn't expect her to be so awesome, with a Bentley and a driver when she went out.

An excellent partner is also a manifestation of a man's charm and strength.

Only until this moment did he truly realize that Tang Song, this old classmate, had probably truly become awesome.

What Qiu Yu said before wasn't an exaggeration; Huashang Fashion really gave him face by agreeing to the cooperation.

…

"Bye-bye, Brother Song~, bye-bye, Xiao Xue~"

"Bye-bye." "See you."

Watching Li Zhixi's figure merge into the crowd, the Bentley sped off again, driving toward the Bvlgari Hotel.

In the car.

Tang Song leaned against the back of the chair, sizing up the luxurious interior around him, and said casually, "Was it arranged by the trust company?"

"Hmm, it's a car for Qian Qian; I borrowed it temporarily, mainly because it's safer at night." Lin Mu twisted her butt and moved toward Tang Song.

After getting in the car, Tang Song didn't hold her waist anymore; she always felt something was missing, and her heart felt very insecure.

It was probably because the encounter just now really scared her.

If Tang Song misunderstood that her private life was chaotic, that would really be completely over.

Having mixed in "socialite groups" for many years, she knew the living conditions of those women too well; if Tang Song knew she was also among them, he would inevitably look down on her.

This was also the reason why she had been trying hard to maintain her persona and was afraid of Tang Song discovering it.

Wanting to become his woman and sign a trust, it must be as clean as possible, just like Qian Qian.

Tang Song tapped the armrest panel with his fingers and suddenly said, "Xiao Xue, I've seen the group photo you posted on Douyin; you and Xu An should be considered friends, right?"

His voice was very light, and his tone was also very gentle.

But Lin Mu, sitting next to him, instantly got goosebumps all over, feeling cold all over.

She opened her mouth wide but couldn't say a word.

At this moment, she felt the sky was about to collapse.

The cabin became exceptionally quiet.

After a while, Lin Mu took a few heavy breaths, held Tang Song's hand, and said in a dry tone, "I really am not…"

Tang Song raised his hand, looking at her smooth and exquisite face. "Xiao Xue, I think you should be more honest."

Having experienced the special dungeon 【Lin Mu's Whisper】, he had a very deep understanding of Xiao Xue and could also guess her thoughts.

In the end, she was still trying her best to cover up and disguise herself in front of him.

Lin Mu's lips trembled, and sweat rolled down from her forehead. "That… I did know Xu An before; I met him when I was hanging out with friends at a bar. At the time, I thought he was a celebrity of some size, so I took a photo with him. But we didn't have any contact throughout the whole thing; we just said a few words."

"Hmm, no need to explain these things to me." Tang Song looked at her calmly.

Lin Mu bit her lower lip hard, tears flickering in her eyes, lowered her head, and said incoherently, "No… sorry… anyway… shouldn't have lied to you… of me."

Her old problem flared up again; she would be like this whenever her emotions fluctuated violently.

She didn't even know what she was saying herself.

Looking at her expression and actions, Tang Song felt the beating was about enough, and without changing his expression, he placed his hand on her thigh wrapped in silk stockings and stroked it gently.

Lin Mu's heart jumped, and she looked at him blankly.

Tang Song smiled. "Saying sorry is useless, but touching your leg is useful; you don't mind, right?"

"No… don't mind." Lin Mu pulled her skirt up a bit and brought her legs together. "As long as you can accept my apology, it's fine."

Her tone was very hurried, and the breath she exhaled contained a faint fruity fragrance and the smell of alcohol, which smelled very good.

Tang Song's gaze swept across the scenery outside the window, feeling the silk stockings as delicate as satin between his palms, as well as her firm thighs, feeling refreshed.

"Swish!" The system light screen slowly unfolded in front of him.

【June 10, 2023, you are sitting in the back of a Bentley, stroking Lin Mu's thigh, feeling her obedience】

【You peeked into Lin Mu's true thoughts; by manipulating her emotions and senses, you completed a certain degree of conquest and transformation of her. Outside the window, the prosperous scene of the Magic City slowly unfolded like a scroll, with high-rise buildings, neon lights flickering, weaving into a bizarre urban night view】

【You felt a perspective that transcends daily life, and your emotional intelligence has improved】

【Your state of mind has undergone important growth, charm +1】

【You obtained a "Scenario Dungeon Generation Card*1"】

"Woo~" Lin Mu bit her lip, feeling Tang Song's strength and scale.

She looked at the male god's straight side profile beside her and said in a low voice, "I only met that Xu An yesterday; today he saw the Moments I shared and took the initiative to come over to contact me, mainly because I know an executive at Tang Zong Entertainment."

"Hmm?" Tang Song raised his eyebrows and looked at her curiously. "How do you know an executive at Tang Zong Entertainment?"

Lin Mu said submissively, "It's the reception assistant at Juqing Juqing Hui Jin; she is a leader in the artist management department of Tang Zong Entertainment, and she even gave me a business card of Mo Xiang Wan."

Hearing this, Tang Song raised his eyebrows excitedly and praised, "Very good, Xiao Xue; I have a task I want to entrust to you; I'll tell you the details tomorrow."

"Oh oh, okay." Hearing that Tang Song had a task, Lin Mu instantly perked up.

She knew that the tasks Tang Song arranged for Qian Qian were all about signing trusts and receiving houses.

Although she knew it was unlikely for her, she still couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

…

The Bentley sped off and stopped at the B1 level of the Bvlgari.

Tang Song first opened a suite on the 45th floor at the front desk, and only then followed Lin Mu upstairs.

Tonight was destined to be a fierce battle with Qian Qian, and maybe he would have to wander around the house to play ball, so it was better to arrange for Xiao Xue to stay in another room.

"Beep—" The door was opened gently.

Watching Tang Song walk in, Lin Mu licked her lips, but didn't dare to follow, closed the door, and obediently went to another room.

She had already made Tang Song unhappy tonight; it was better to be sensible at a time like this.

Walking and walking, for some reason, she felt her legs were wet.

It was probably because she was nervous in the car just now and sweated a lot.

Her face flushed, and her footsteps quickened a bit.

…

In the 120-square-meter large suite.

Entering, there was a small corridor, and in the living room, there was a dining table by the window and a sofa, with excellent texture.

Outside the window was the unobstructed beautiful scenery of Suzhou Creek Bay.

A clear sound came from the direction of the bedroom.

Tang Song scanned the room and walked toward the bedroom.

Immediately after, he saw his beautician friend leaning on the head of the bed watching TV.

On the snow-white big bed, a pair of slender and alluring wine-glass legs were completely exposed.

The thigh lines were plump yet firm, the calf muscles were tight and elastic, and the knees were round and smooth.

Perfect to the extreme.
