She displayed a contented smile upon hearing that.
“It’s getting late; Shishi, let’s go!”
Li Lan subconsciously addressed her by her first name, which she did not express any objection. She had subtly developed an affection for this lady, so she was not repulsed by the intimacy.
She nodded in acquiescence and stood up to follow the secretary out of the restaurant.
Just as they exited the room, they saw a middle-aged man in a decent suit approaching along the hallway.
Li Lan was attentive enough to recognize the man and, as a courtesy, hastily greeted him with a smile. “Er? Isn’t this Mr. Qian? What a coincidence!”
This middle-aged man was a collaborator of Huanyu Entertainment, Qian Shaohua.
This man, who had invested a large amount to Huanyu’s upcoming movie production, was well-known in the capital as a rich boss!
Because of that, she took the initiative to greet him.
The man immediately recognized her as well and politely smiled in return. “Ha ha! Isn’t this Assistant Li? What an honor! I didn’t expect to see you here! Why aren’t you with your boss, Mr. Mu?”
She stretched out her hand for a handshake and was about to speak when she saw the man turn his glance fixedly on to Yun Shishi, who was expressionlessly standing behind her.
His eyes lighted up with pleasant surprise – a delighted glee even!
The woman standing behind the secretary was such an ethereal beauty!
He was swept away by her looks; her existence seemed to brighten up the dimly lit corridor!
Perhaps it was his lascivious and predatory glare that prompted Yun Shishi to break away from her distracted thoughts to glance up at him. Disturbed by the slightly salacious orbs of his that were looking at her, she subconsciously tried to make herself inconspicuous behind the assistant.
Her evasive act only made her more tempting in his eyes!
Well, well, well. She is shy!
It’s no surprise that this girl feels shy. From her dress sense down to her mannerism, she embodies naivety and innocence.
Regardless of her pure and innocent behavior, her beautiful and tender little face alone was enough to make him yearn for more!
This girl had touched his sweet spot!
The man had bedded many women before. He was a business veteran and an avid investor in the entertainment industry. Having been steeped in this industry for many years as a successful investor, he could be said as experienced in many types of women.
He had done it with the girl-next-doors and students.
At the end of the day, there was truly no innocent woman in this era of materialism. These women were pretentiously coy for the sake of fame. He found it interesting and charming at first, though, after some time, the novelty wore off. With so many of such kind, they eventually got on his nerves, instead.
Hence, as he was examining her, his eyes could not help but darken further. He exuded the exhilaration and possessiveness of a hunter who had locked on to his target.
The assistant watched his unbridled eyes stare at Yun Shishi. The smile on her lips stiffened, and she started to feel awkward.
She had seen much while she followed and served Mu Yazhe. Being a smart woman, after encountering so many of these lewd businessmen, could she not guess what was on his mind?
