“Obviously you.”

Song Xuanhe responded sincerely without any hesitation. He was so direct that no one could doubt his sincerity.


Xiao Yuanmu’s expression cleared up a bit at this answer. The corner of his lips rose up, almost unnoticeable, but it did not miss Song Xuanhe’s attention. A pair of beautiful eyes fixed onto him, and the accompanying voice was cool and refreshing, “But to me, it looks like you’re really interested in him.”

Song Xuanhe became slightly dazed at Xiao Yuanmu’s eyes that seemed to carry a smile in them. If he didn’t remember incorrectly, this was the first time he had ever seen Xiao Yuanmu smile.

Although the smile wasn’t obvious, when that faint smile came onto that face, it was really…exceptional.

Xiao Yuanmu’s eyes were slightly curved, making Song Xuanhe think of spring water in early winter, clear and bright. When the wind blew, light reflected off the water’s surface, and revitalizing mist and the scent of rosin came with it. If he used a large expanse of white with just the right amount of ink blue as the main points—if he hadn’t transmigrated into this book—Song Xuanhe thought that he would be very satisfied with what he could have come up with for this year’s spring-summer line.

However, there was no point in thinking “What if?” in this world. However, he couldn’t deny that Xiao Yuanmu really gave him a lot of inspiration.

Xiao Yuanmu quietly waited for Song Xuanhe’s response. The other side of the room, however, had become noisy. Everyone crowded around the centre. The two of them suddenly looked really incongruous standing there in their original spots.

“Er shao,” Someone patted Song Xuanhe’s shoulder and said with a smile, “They’re cutting the cake over there. Aren’t you coming?”

Song Xuanhe came back to himself. His eyes fell onto the person who was speaking. He silently peered at Xiao Yuanmu from the corner of his eye and then said, “I’ll be right there.”

Xiao Yuanmu indeed pursed his lips slightly. However, before he could speak, someone came and wrapped an arm around Song Xuanhe’s shoulder. “What are you talking about, ne? Nan zi has been waiting for you. Everyone’s already there. Hurry up and come with me.”

Song Xuanhe glanced at this unfamiliar person. He knew that this was the plot’s doing. Therefore, he pulled the hand off his shoulder and lightly gestured at Xiao Yuanmu with his chin, “I’m going to head over there.”

After saying this, he didn’t wait for Xiao Yuanmu’s response and directly left with the person who had been speaking with him before. He didn’t look back.

The music in the banquet hall was relaxing. Their footsteps were light. Xiao Yuanmu could faintly make out their conversation:

“Just now, was that your new boyfriend? The one you embarrassed Lu Chao over?”

Song Xuanhe’s voice was muffled. He had probably just made a “mn” sound.

“Really high quality, ah,” That person clicked their tongue. He then laughed with a wretched overtone, “Only, you don’t seem as interested in him as they say. Our Er shao is famous for getting tired of his lovers after three months. Who knows how long that fellow will last? When you break things off, let me play with him, hm?”

Xiao Yuanmu’s expression was ice-cold. He turned to look in the direction Song Xuanhe had gone. Those two had already reached the crowd. He couldn’t hear Song Xuanhe’s reply.

“Isn’t this Mr. Xiao of the venture investment division? Why are you standing here all on your own?”

A charming but undisguised hostile voice chimed. Xiao Yuanmu cast an insipid gaze over towards it. He saw a woman dressed in bright and neat clothes.
