A woman in a white evening gown was breathing heavily, her prominent chest rising and falling dramatically, almost bursting out of the dress. It had to be said, she had a fiery temper, nearly throwing the limited-edition, exquisite handbag she held in her hand.
"Wu Yin!" Someone beside her grabbed her arm, whispering words of comfort.
Wang Xuan was very handsome, standing there relaxed, his face calm, his eyes clear, looking at the few people naturally. He was peaceful and composed, showing no emotional fluctuations.
The young woman in the white evening gown was named Wu Yin. Seeing his calmness, she took a deep breath, trying to cool down her anger.
"Since your relationship has come to an end, don't keep纠缠 (entangling) yourself. The sky is so vast; each of you should spread your wings and fly far away, leaving beautiful backs and enough space for each other. That's better than anything else!" Wu Yin said.
Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "You're too deep into the role, immersed in your own emotional world, imagining how bad I am. Don't add more drama to yourself. I'm just a passerby, invited here for a meal."
Wu Yin's emotions, which had just calmed down, flared up again. Her breathing became heavier, her face turning red, though not from shyness. Her temper was indeed fiery, and no one had ever spoken to her like this before. Was he implying that she had mental issues?
Wang Xuan hadn't noticed at first, but now he couldn't help but look at her more closely. This woman seemed to have a very curvaceous figure, and her evening gown was almost bursting at the seams with her heavy breathing.
Objectively speaking, this woman named Wu Yin had a beautiful face, especially her stunning figure. Although her mouth was quite unpleasant, she was indeed a beauty.
Wu Yin couldn't bear it any longer, her gaze sharp. "I've never seen a man like you. We've long since had no relationship. What's the point of you coming here? I don't believe a newly graduated student would come to the top floor of the Cangding Building just for a meal. You must have heard the news and rushed over. Don't make a fool of yourself!"
Wang Xuan had intended to turn and leave, but he was still a young man, fresh out of school, and his blood was still hot.
Although he wasn't angry, the smile on his face disappeared.
"Your temper is so bad, there must be something wrong with your body. Have you been having insomnia and anxiety recently? You're angry now, but your face is pale, indicating anemia. Also, your emotions are very unstable, clearly troubled by something. It seems both your body and mind are in trouble. You need to take care of yourself, or your temper will get worse. Don't thank me, don't be surprised. I'm a person who studies old techniques and am good at health preservation. Also, I can smell a faint blood scent on you, indicating you've been injured in a fight. Well... goodbye!"
Wang Xuan stopped there, not wanting to continue his medical analysis, as he seemed to have noticed something. He accidentally said it, and he guessed this woman would explode.
Sure enough, Wu Yin was initially stunned, uncertain and doubtful, as she had indeed been experiencing those issues. But she couldn't bear it any longer and picked up the limited-edition handbag, throwing it at Wang Xuan in a fit of anger and humiliation. "Pervert!"
Beside her, Zhou Ting was speechless. This Wang Xuan not only had remarkable skills in old techniques but also a sharp tongue, almost making her friend Wu Yin explode.
Zhou Ting felt that she couldn't bear it either. The most vulnerable days of a woman had been discovered and analyzed so seriously, which was indeed infuriating.
She quickly hugged Wu Yin's arm, as today was a special day, and they couldn't cause a scene here.
Wang Xuan swore he hadn't meant to. He had only commented based on her irritability and pale face, but it turned out to be such a coincidence.
"Wang Xuan, don't say anything more, just leave quickly," another woman said, thinking it was better to send this handsome man away before something happened.
Actually, they didn't need to persuade him. Wang Xuan didn't want to stay either and turned to leave.
"Don't go!" Wu Yin was indignant, breaking free from Zhou Ting. It was clear she had some martial arts skills and a foundation in old techniques. Most importantly, a faint blue mist was emanating from her white arm, indicating she was a practitioner of super techniques!
Young people who had mastered super techniques usually had complex backgrounds.
Wang Xuan stopped and looked at her. "Don't attack me. If my body instinctively judges you as a threat to my life, I will fight back, even if you're a woman."
He wouldn't actually fight here; he was just scaring her. He glanced at Zhou Ting.
Zhou Ting pursed her lips. This damn Wang Xuan, not considering her feelings, forcing her to persuade her friend and even mentioning her brother.
"Wu Yin, don't attack him. My brother... was injured by him," Zhou Ting whispered.
Thinking of her brother Zhou Yun, she was speechless. He had been carried back today, and it was said that he no longer hated Wang Xuan, finding him very decent and not using excessive force even after winning. Now, her brother hated a half-breed and had been ranting about it for the past half day.
In fact, in a seven-star hotel, Zhou Yun was still shouting, "Half-breed with blue eyes, I'll break all your bones, don't let me see you again!"
At the top of the Cangding Building, Wu Yin's body stiffened. She was afraid of encountering a "rude person" who would beat her up without a word, which would be embarrassing, especially since she had no robots or bodyguards with her.
At this moment, Wang Xuan's college classmate Liu Yun stepped forward, tugging at Wang Xuan's sleeve. "Let's not say anything more today. Just let it be. Ling Wei is meeting the parents of the other party with her own parents."
Indeed, this was close to what Wang Xuan had guessed. He nodded without saying anything. Since they had already separated, he had no right to interfere in others' lives.
Liu Yun whispered a few more words to her. The other party's family name was Wu.
Wang Xuan immediately understood why Wu Yin had been so unfriendly when she saw him.
"Zhou family, Ling family, Wu family. It seems they've encountered some trouble in business today, so Wu Yin is in a bad mood and has a short temper. She's not usually like this," Liu Yun informed her softly.
Wang Xuan looked at her with new respect. This female classmate looked delicate but was actually very skilled and emotionally intelligent. Through her relationship with Ling Wei, she had become close friends with Wu Yin and Zhou Ting in such a short time, which was quite impressive.
At the same time, he realized that the Wu family had also been involved in the fight at Qingcheng Mountain. He could only say sorry for disrupting their "business."
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but smile. He looked at Wu Yin and said, "Sorry, goodbye!"
He didn't want to stay any longer; there was no need to dwell on it.
Wu Yin was taken aback. She had been about to explode with anger, but she didn't expect him to apologize so lightly.
She said coolly, "Wang Xuan, you've settled down here, I heard you're working in this city. Just focus on your work and life, don't entangle yourself in anything. I wish you all the best."
Wang Xuan stopped and turned around. He hadn't intended to say anything, but now he felt it was necessary to make this woman see clearly.
"First, I didn't know Ling Wei was meeting someone's parents here, so I couldn't have come to entangle myself. Second, if you don't find it embarrassing in this situation, you can continue to make things difficult, but the one who will be embarrassed is not me. I think, even if there's a misunderstanding, we should let each other go. Third, everyone has their own choices. If we meet by chance, we can greet each other, no need to be hysterical. I wish Ling Wei all the best. As for you, whether it's a misunderstanding or for other reasons, we'll part ways from now on. Fourth, goodbye!"
After saying this, Wang Xuan glanced at the Flowing Gold and Silver Years restaurant, where Ling Wei was looking in their direction. Clearly, the argument outside had caught the attention of those inside.
Wang Xuan nodded at her, not waiting for her reaction, and turned to leave.
The women behind him were silent, no one speaking for a while.
"Wang Xuan, this way!" Qin Cheng arrived, walking and complaining, "Some nouveau riche has booked the entire Flowing Gold and Silver Years restaurant, too extravagant. We can't provoke them, let's go to the 'Thousand Years of Humanity' restaurant on this floor."
He pulled Wang Xuan away.
In the distance, Wu Yin, Zhou Ting, and Liu Yun looked at each other, speechless.
"Hey, Goddess Zhao, are you here for a meal too?" Qin Cheng saw Zhao Qinghan walking over from the elevator, accompanied by two women who looked like bodyguards or friends.
"Want to join us?" Qin Cheng asked thick-skinnedly.
Zhao Qinghan, still stunningly beautiful, smiled and said, "What a coincidence, but not tonight. A friend has already invited me for dinner."
Qin Cheng was enthusiastic, "Sure, we can meet up another time. Don't forget to visit the New Moon when you pass by. It's my territory, and you can go up to the moon to enjoy the scenery."
Zhao Qinghan smiled and nodded, promising to visit him when she passed by. Then she smiled at Wang Xuan, "Classmate Wang, we might have cooperation opportunities in the future. Here's my contact information."
She smiled sweetly, personally handing him a business card. Seeing Qin Cheng looking eagerly, she also gave him one with a smile.
Until Zhao Qinghan walked away, Qin Cheng was still marveling, "Goddess Zhao is so good at dealing with people, beautiful and thoughtful, truly a rare beauty."
Wang Xuan's lips curled up, and he laughed, "A business card makes you so dizzy. I think it's necessary to tell your girlfriend, to make you cry and wake up."
"Don't!"
They entered the 'Thousand Years of Humanity' restaurant, found a private room, and sat down. Qin Cheng was still a bit不服气 (unconvinced).
"Putting aside other things, not talking about appearance, I think Zhao Qinghan is really a good person. Every time I see her, it feels like a breath of fresh air, very comfortable."
Wang Xuan nodded, "That's inevitable. Think about her background. When you were a naive teenager, she was already attending important events with her parents."
Qin Cheng said, "I think, human nature is innate. She is a typical beauty with a good heart."
Wang Xuan had to enlighten him, "You need to see through the surface to the essence. Her smile and sweetness have become a natural response. You should know, she has been trained in various ways since childhood, from social interactions to emotional control, all professionally. She can give you the impression she wants, making you believe it's true."
Qin Cheng was unconvinced, "Old Wang, aren't you making Goddess Zhao sound too shrewd and experienced? Why do I always feel her smile has a healing effect, so pure?"
Wang Xuan rolled his eyes, "Look at you, so naive. Her performance must be professional. Different people, different auras."
Wang Xuan couldn't forget a time when he saw Zhao Qinghan outside school, cold and distant, exuding a queenly aura, scolding a well-known successful person like a schoolboy.
At that time, Zhao Qinghan's expression was cold, her words carefully chosen, showing a very mature mindset, far from the healing smile Qin Cheng described. She was a typical elite queen.
After describing what he had seen that day, Wang Xuan sighed, "So, a goddess's self-cultivation, from academics to communication skills, to social interactions, and other techniques, is all essential. She has gone through intense training, and compared to her, you... are too young!"
Qin Cheng said, "Damn, Old Wang, listening to you talk about Goddess Zhao, I feel like you're not a good guy either, not a good bird!"
Wang Xuan's face darkened, "I'm just trying to give you a heads-up!"
"Okay, so should I be more cautious around her in the future?" Qin Cheng asked.
"What to be cautious about? You don't have anything she values or needs to use."
"Old Wang, you're hurting me, I want to break up with you!" Qin Cheng looked aggrieved.
"I'm just giving you a correct perspective. Don't keep smiling foolishly at Zhao Qinghan. She can be innocent when she wants to be, cold when she needs to be, pure, and seductive. Keep a clear self-awareness."
Wang Xuan finished and started ordering food, not wanting to talk about this anymore.
However, he suddenly felt something was off. Looking up, he saw Qin Cheng giving him urgent signals.
Wang Xuan turned around and was surprised to find Zhao Qinghan standing at the door of the private room, having arrived at some point.
