Thank you Ciel for the kofi ?

Song Xuanhe was facing the door, so he saw Xiao Yuanmu at once. He also saw the cold expression on the other's face and was a bit befuddled. “Your meeting is over?”

At this moment, the secretary took a step back. She turned around and smiled at Xiao Yuanmu. Women were sensitive to this type of thing, and so, she explained, “There was something on Mr. Song's collar. I helped him wipe it off.”

After saying this, she waved the damp napkin in her hand, declaring her innocence.

Xiao Yuanmu didn't say anything. Actually, although it was really easy to misunderstand things from that angle, from what he knew of Song Xuanhe, even if the other had had a change of affection or wanted to do something, he would not do it like this in the company so ostentatiously.

Only, when he saw Song Xuanhe so close to another person, he could feel a dark emotion brewing inside of him. Furthermore, the emotion hadn't lessened even though he knew the truth.

The rest of the people filed out of the meeting room. The manager of the venture investment division saw Song Xuanhe and greeted him. The secretary found an excuse to leave.

Song Xuanhe got up and said, “Let's go, ba. It's just about time to eat.”

Tonight's banquet was an important scene. The System had been reminding Song Xuanhe in his mind since the afternoon meeting. He had also told Xiao Yuanmu that they would be going out to eat today. He had waited for the other outside of the venture investment division, because the book had a line that said, “Song Xuanhe waited at the entrance to the venture investment division for Xiao Yuanmu.” Normally, he would have waited for him in the parking lot.

Xiao Yuanmu's gaze swept over his slightly damp collar. He tightly pursed his lips and nodded. His expression was much colder than it was normally.

Song Xuanhe didn't mind, seeing the other's expression. He had originally wanted to reduce the contact he had with Xiao Yuanmu. Until they reached the private club the banquet was being held at today, he didn't say a word.

The owner of this club was one of Song Xuanhe's high school cla.s.smates. When they were in school, he and Song Xuanhe had had a rather good relations.h.i.+p. Even after he left the country for university, the two of them had remained in contact. They both liked to attend all sorts of parties. Furthermore, this high school cla.s.smate, who had been influenced by the bold and unrestrained atmosphere abroad, had become even more open-minded. All of his get-togethers were dazzling.

The birthday party this time was no exception. When they entered the crowded club, there were both familiar third- and fourth-generation rich kids and several frequently seen faces from TV programs. There were quite a few big stars inside.

Xiao Yuanmu followed Song Xuanhe in. He watched the other skillfully chat with people from all sorts of backgrounds. He would occasionally hug someone if their relations.h.i.+p was close or get close and whisper something into the other's ear. There was an absent-mindedness in his eyes, however. This unintentional show of irreverence and n.o.bility made Xiao Yuanmu's breathing suddenly slow. The fingers hanging by his side unconsciously curled up.

His chest felt stuffy. What followed was an unfathomable itch. Something had sprouted inside his heart, causing him to become absent-minded. He also wanted to cover the other's eyes so that the other's scope of vision would become narrow. It would be best if Song Xuanhe could only see him.

What kind of feeling was this?

Before Xiao Yuanmu could carefully think it over and find an answer, he saw someone pull Song Xuanhe over. That person smiled and asked, “Is this your little boyfriend?”

After saying this, the smiling person looked at Xiao Yuanmu with narrowed eyes and continued, “I heard that you were really planning on going steady with your new boyfriend. I didn't believe it. But now that I've seen the person in real life, I believe it. You've got a good eye.”

When he heard this, Xiao Yuanmu silently turned to look at Song Xuanhe.

Song Xuanhe matched this person's face to his memories. He then smiled, changing the topic, “I brought him to have some fun. Where's Qian Qin? It's his birthday, why haven't I seen him?”

No one noticed the flash of disappointment in Xiao Yuanmu's eyes. The smiling person pouted, then looked towards the centre of a group of people, and said, “There. Recently, he's been chasing after that Film Emperor who just won an Oscar. Unfortunately, that Film Emperor isn't from his company, and his status is quite high, so he couldn't control the other's resources. It wasn't easy to get the Film Emperor here. How could he dare to let him out into the crowd? At that time, he'd probably want to die if he was taken away by someone else.”

Song Xuanhe followed his gaze and saw a few unfamiliar silhouettes. Aside from the tallest person whose head was sticking out a bit amongst the crowd, he didn't see anything else. He asked, “Which Film Emperor?”

“Xue Mian, ah,” That person said, “Recently, he's been everywhere on TV. It can't be that you don't recognize him?”

“I do.”

Song Xuanhe replied quickly, but it was really perfunctory. He did know Xue Mian but not because of the news, but because Xue Mian was one of Xiao Yuanmu's future pursuers. He could also be considered one of the leading roles of this book. It was just that Song Xuanhe hadn't expected to meet him here so early.

After speaking, the other person was called away by someone else they knew. Song Xuanhe turned to glance at Xiao Yuanmu.

He saw that he was indeed looking into the crowd. Although Xiao Yuanmu's expression was still as cold and indifferent as always, Song Xuanhe could see that there was something a bit different about his slightly pursed lips. At the very least, he had never seen Xiao Yuanmu look at someone for so long.

Song Xuanhe had just looked away when he saw the crowd open up. A man who had outstanding looks and temperament, who was also the birthday boy, walked out. He headed straight towards them.

“How come you've only come now?” The birthday boy glanced at Song Xuanhe and then turned to look at the man by his own side. “This is Song Xuanhe, you can call him Song Er. And him, I don't need to introduce, ba: Film Emperor Xue Mian. You can't not recognize him.”

Song Xuanhe nodded towards Xue Mian. Xue Mian also politely greeted him. His gaze then fell on Xiao Yuanmu, and he said, hesitatingly, “And, this is…?”

“This must be the rumoured boyfriend who's causing all that hubbub?” Before Song Xuanhe could speak, the birthday star spoke first. Afraid that Xue Mian, who had once said on a show that his ideal spouse was someone good-looking, would become interested in the extremely handsome Xiao Yuanmu, he said, “I heard that you taught Lu Chao, that fellow, a lesson on the spot for his sake. It seems that it's for real. Congratulations, ah.”

Song Xuanhe was too lazy to say anything to these sarcastic words. He just nodded and introduced, “Xiao Yuanmu.”

Xiao Yuanmu nodded to the others coldly but politely. He didn't plan on saying anything.

However, it seemed like Film Emperor Xue was very interested in Xiao Yuanmu. As the three of them chatted, it would always end up back to Xiao Yuanmu, for the sake of having him say a bit more. After chatting for a while, the birthday boy began to use his eyes to hint at Song Xuanhe to take Xiao Yuanmu away as soon as possible.

Song Xuanhe was also rather helpless and also felt a bit moved. Indeed, this Xue Mian was an important character. Just the attractive force between them during this interaction was extraordinary.

As he spoke, Xue Mian s.h.i.+fted the topic from the future of the entertainment industry to the fact that he was about to open his own company. He had also signed a few celebrities already. “Mr. Xiao, I don't know if you have any interest in joining the entertainment industry? I have opened up a company myself. Right now, we have two people signed. Our prospects look quite good. If you're willing to enter, I can give you the best resources. I can also guarantee that in less than half a year, you'll be popular.”

However, Xiao Yuanmu's response was very indifferent. Only, he was very polite despite his lack of interest because of the time and place, “Sorry, but I don't have any plans on entering the entertainment industry right now.”

Xiao Yuanmu's voice was clear and cool like spring water. Although there was a slight chill to it, people would still find it pleasant to listen to. It wasn't ice-cold. On this point, Song Xuanhe really admired Xiao Yuanmu. So long as he didn't have any malice towards the person who he was speaking to, it would be rare for anyone to resist the temptation of his looks or voice.

Xue Mian didn't find Xiao Yuanmu cold. Instead, hearing the other speak a bit more made him very happy. He smiled and said, “That's fine. I'll leave you my contact information. If you change your mind, you can come to me anytime.”

“Cough, cough,” The birthday boy gave Song Xuanhe another look.

Song Xuanhe, however, knew that it would only be a waste of effort. In the book, Xue Mian had fallen in love at first sight with Xiao Yuanmu. The reason for it was very simple: Xue Mian was a pure face-con. He was also a slight voice-con. Xiao Yuanmu's appearance and voice were both exceedingly outstanding. It was no wonder he had ensnared him at once.

However, if they stood around and chatted, they would miss the scene they had to do. Therefore, Song Xuanhe still interrupted, “Film Emperor Xue, just give me your contact information. If we need to, we'll contact you. They look like they're waiting for the birthday boy to cut the cake over there. Great birthday boy, didn't you say there's still a game after cutting the cake? Go quickly.”

The birthday boy looked at Song Xuanhe gratefully. He pulled Xue Mian away, half-dragging and half-asking him. Shortly after, only Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu were left in the corner.

Seeing that Song Xuanhe watched the departing figures of those two and didn't look away for a long time, Xiao Yuanmu, who had relaxed because of Song Xuanhe's words just now, tensed up again. He said insipidly, “What do you think of Xue Mian's suggestion?”

Upon hearing this, Song Xuanhe didn't even think and replied, “I don't think you're suited for the entertainment industry.”

“Then, where do you think I'm suited to be?”

“Just…” Song Xuanhe turned his head, pausing his words before pretending to lose his patience, “Just stay with me. You don't have to be suited for anywhere else.”

Xiao Yuanmu actually didn't become angry at this. Instead, he asked something completely irrelevant, “What do you think of Xue Mian's looks?”

Song Xuanhe was startled and then heard the other continue, “Between Xue Mian and I, whose appearance do you like better?”

The author has something to say:

Song Xuanhe: This is a question that could get me killed. I refuse to answer.

Eve: Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy~ MuMu is a huge ocean of vinegar.
