As they quietly observed the two conversing, Nan Jing suddenly lifted Yun Zhi Yue into his arms as if she were a child.
"Well, you have indeed lost some weight. You should eat something good to replenish," he remarked before setting her down and grabbing his jacket, as if he had merely wanted to gauge her weight.
Yun Zhi Yue was momentarily stunned; this guy was a bit shy yet possessive, was he jealous?
Zhou Yu wore an odd expression, harboring a suspicion.
Huang Fei Club, Zhou Yu's newly acquired establishment, was primarily focused on the restaurant and hotel business of the Zhou family. The club was luxuriously decorated, aimed at catering to patrons of some status. It offered not only dining but also a full range of leisure services, ensuring that one would never be bored during a stay.
Zhou Yu had participated in the architectural design himself and had invested significantly; it occupied a vast area. He guided them through the venue, explaining as they went along.
After taking a look around, Yun Zhi Yue felt impressed and gave a thumbs up, while Nan Jing pointed out areas that could be improved with pinpoint accuracy.
Both were human, yet the differences became apparent only through comparison. Subsequently, she fell silent to avoid embarrassing herself further.
The club had just opened and there were already a few patrons, though not many. As the trio passed by a small golf course, Yun Zhi Yue's gaze met that of an alluring woman, her eyes flickering momentarily.
The woman was heavily made up and nestled in the arms of a man in his forties, smiling charmingly. When their eyes locked, the woman's fiery red lips froze into a tight smile, hatred flashing in her eyes.
Yun Zhi Yue looked for a moment before deliberately averting her gaze as if she didn’t recognize her, an action that clearly provoked the woman further.
Nan Jing and Zhou Yu beside Yun Zhi Yue could both sense the tension in the air. Just then, the middle-aged man seemed to recognize them and approached with the woman still in his embrace.
"Isn't this Mr. Zhou and Ms. Nan? Is Ms. Nan also part of Huang Fei Club?"
The three exchanged pleasantries filled with superficial niceties; being in the business world meant they had some social skills. Perhaps it was Yun Zhi Yue's striking beauty that caught the attention of the man who clearly had an eye for women.
"Who are these two lovely companions?" he asked, having never seen them before.
Before any of them could respond, the woman beside him smiled and said, "This is Miss Yun Zhi Yue from Yun Group; is this your first time meeting President Wang?"
The man immediately retracted the warmth in his eyes upon hearing her words. He politely greeted, "Miss Yun, it’s indeed our first meeting. Xiaoyue, do you know her?"
Sun Xiaoyue let out a playful laugh, "President Wang, you can’t believe it, right? Despite our vastly different statuses, we were quite close back in high school."
"We ate together, studied together, did so much. It’s a pity that I was forced to drop out. Yun Zhi Yue, do you miss me?"
The atmosphere suddenly grew heavy; the phrase "forced" carried an unmistakable implication.
Yun Zhi Yue's expression remained impassive as she replied, "We’re not familiar."
With that, she brushed past Sun Xiaoyue and left, as if they truly had never known each other.
President Wang felt a bit awkward and apologized to Nan Jing and Zhou Yu, "I’m sorry about that. It’s my guest who spoke thoughtlessly. As for Miss Yun..."
Nan Jing interjected, "It has nothing to do with President Wang. It’s better to keep a distance from people with issues; you don’t want to get dragged down with them."
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, and the two followed suit in leaving.
Just as they walked away, a loud clap echoed through the air, followed by Sun Xiaoyue's soft sobs. The two understood immediately; this was meant for their ears.
With this interruption, Zhou Yu decided not to continue showing them around and instead arranged for a lavish meal.
Yun Zhi Yue focused on eating in silence, not uttering a word.
