After Fu Meng left, Mo Ming continued to stand in place sipping red wine, occasionally glancing around. He stood like this for a while when suddenly a voice came from behind, sounding somewhat like Shang Xige.
"Boss!"
Mo Ming turned around and found that it was indeed Shang Xige!
Shang Xige's appearance really surprised Mo Ming. Logically, Shang Xige should not have been invited by Yang Yuan. However, seeing Su Xiuwen nearby explained why Shang Xige was here.
Tonight, Shang Xige was dressed in a formal suit, quite different from his usual casual style. Mo Ming wasn't used to this look, but to be fair, without his bangs, Shang Xige did appear somewhat handsome in the suit.
It was indeed Su Xiuwen's event, and it made sense that Shang Xige was present at her request. Otherwise, with Yang Yuan's snobbish nature, there was no way Shang Xige could walk in confidently.
Tonight, Su Xiuwen wore an extremely alluring black lace dress with a back cutout. Her graceful figure exuded charm, and her stunning legs were wrapped in black stockings, creating an enticing appearance.
With a charming smile on her face, Su Xiuwen fluttered her long eyelashes as if casting a spell and said cheerfully, "Mo Ming, why are you here tonight? Hehe, did Lian Lian bring you along?"
"Sister Wen is getting more and more playful," Mo Ming replied with a wry smile and shook his head. "She has already arrived; she should be nearby. Didn't you see her when you came in?"
"No," Su Xiuwen said as she looked around but didn't spot Murong Lian. She then turned her gaze back to Mo Ming and remarked, "I didn't notice earlier. What role is the great Mo planning to play tonight? I'm not quite used to this."
"Hehe, you wouldn't understand," Shang Xige chuckled and said. "The boss is playing the role of a wealthy tycoon tonight—high-end and impressive! Recently, the hot topic in Nanhua City is Williams Mo; that's the person standing right in front of you."
Su Xiuwen was taken aback, her expression one of disbelief. Just like Murong Lian, she found it hard to believe that no matter how skilled Mo Ming was, he couldn't have suddenly become rich unless he had robbed a bank!
"Mo Ming, don't tell me this is true! Are you really Williams Mo?"
"Go to hell, you little brat!" Mo Ming laughed and scolded, which was another way of responding. "It seems like being around beautiful women has been quite enjoyable for you. Not bad, huh? You actually dressed up nicely tonight; that outfit looks very high-end."
"Hehe, what do you mean by exposing me? After tonight, who wouldn't know you're that rich guy from America, Williams Mo?" Mo Ming grinned. "Boss, take me to dominate and soar!"
"Fly to hell!" Mo Ming glanced at Shang Xige and teased, "Looks like you've given up on self-care and switched to a vegetarian diet."
"Uh, Boss, don't say that. I wouldn't even dare to look at this outfit, let alone buy it." Shang Xige looked gloomy and held up two fingers. "Twenty thousand! That’s enough for me to enjoy some serious self-care."
"No way." Mo Ming exclaimed in shock. "Have you turned into a gigolo after just a few days?"
"Shang Xige, you need to explain yourself!" Su Xiuwen glared at Shang Xige with annoyance. "Last time I asked you so many times about the meaning of self-care, you insisted you didn't know. But tonight, it seems like you're quite knowledgeable!"
"Well, um..." Shang Xige was at a loss for words and pointed at Mo Ming. "You should ask the boss; he taught me about that stuff. If you want to know, just let him tell you."
"Damn it! I treated you so well when we were in America, taking you out for self-care all the time, and now you're acting like this just for a girl!" Mo Ming chuckled as he glanced at Shang Xige and Su Xiuwen. "I may not be well-read, but don’t fool me; are you two having an affair?"
"Mo Ming, what nonsense are you talking about?" Su Xiuwen's cheeks flushed with anger as she shot him a fierce glare. "No wonder Lian Lian told me not to talk too much with you; it turns out everything that comes out of your mouth is nonsense."
Shang Xige felt somewhat speechless. "Boss, please don’t say things carelessly. I have nothing going on with her, but she's a woman and a big star. If the paparazzi hear about this, it could be trouble."
"My bad, my bad." Mo Ming laughed a few times. "I wonder if Sister Wen is satisfied with this kid?"
"I think..." Su Xiuwen was about to respond when she suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped herself, suspiciously staring at Mo Ming. "What kind of wordplay are you trying to pull? I won't fall for it so easily!"
"Sister Wen, you're overthinking it. I meant how capable this kid is at work," Mo Ming said with a smile as he shook his head. "Do you really think my impression in your mind is that I enjoy tricking people?"
"That's not the case. Well, I'm quite satisfied with him. But why can he only be my bodyguard for such a short time?" Su Xiuwen said with some confusion. "If he wants to, he could stay on indefinitely. With my resources, I can afford to support him."
"Oh, so you're planning to keep him!" Mo Ming shrugged and said, "That depends on his personal willingness. If he’s willing to be your bodyguard for life, I wouldn’t oppose it."
"Come on, boss, don’t put this kind of question on me!" Shang Xige forced a bitter smile and glanced at the expectation flashing in Su Xiuwen's eyes. "I’m afraid I can’t do what you want right now because I have other matters to attend to."
Su Xiuwen stared intently at Shang Xige, trying to get an answer from him. "Then tell me, what do you have to do?"
"I can't tell you," Shang Xige refused. "Not letting you know is for your own good, so please stop asking."
Su Xiuwen's smile carried a hint of bitterness as she lightly pressed her beautiful lips together. "Alright then, I’ll take whatever time I can get. If it doesn’t work out, I can always find another bodyguard later. But tonight, you are my partner."
"Mm." Shang Xige nodded in response.
"Wow, partner!" Mo Ming exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, it's not that shocking. By the way, Mo Ming, where's Yuan'er? Why hasn’t she come over?" Su Xiuwen said as she linked arms with Shang Xige and smiled. "Don’t tell me you didn’t bring your wife just to come here for some fun."
"Wen Jie, you really understand me too well," Mo Ming chuckled.
Su Xiuwen sighed and said irritably, "Can’t you be a bit more serious?"
"If he could be serious, he wouldn’t be Mo Ming," Shang Xige shook his head and then said, "Boss, your employer has arrived. It looks like she's coming in hot; you might be in for some trouble!"
"..." Mo Ming looked over and saw Murong Lian approaching with an angry expression and quickened steps. It was clear that Murong Lian was coming to settle scores, and Mo Ming was about to make his escape.
“Dead Mo Ming, stop right there!” Murong Lian quickened her pace and approached Mo Ming, giving him a disdainful glance. “You embarrassed me earlier, and I won’t feel satisfied until I take you down a notch.”
“Well, you can’t blame me. I did warn you; it was your choice to disregard your image. I had no other option,” Mo Ming shrugged and smiled.
“Lian Lian, you’re here! It’s been a while. You’re getting more beautiful by the day,” Su Xiuwen said as she warmly embraced Murong Lian. “By the way, Lian Lian, where’s your partner?”
“Wen Jie, that question isn’t quite fair,” Mo Ming laughed. “That’s a sore spot for Miss Murong; you’re just asking for her to get furious.”
“Shut up, you useless male actor! Just because you’re quiet doesn’t mean no one thinks you’re mute! Do you really want to be castrated?” Murong Lian shouted angrily. “It’s not that my standards are too high; there just isn’t anyone who catches my eye!”
Mo Ming shrugged, refraining from further teasing. “Alright, I admit my fault.”
“I think otherwise…” Su Xiuwen scanned their faces and joked, “Lian Lian, since Mo Ming doesn’t have a partner tonight, why don’t you two team up?”
“Wenwen, what nonsense are you spouting? Be careful or I’ll tear your mouth apart,” Murong Lian shot a glare at Mo Ming. “Even if I didn’t have a partner, I wouldn’t choose this shameless and perverted male actor!”
“We’re both in the same boat; I don’t need a female partner!” Mo Ming glanced behind him and smiled. “It’s fine not to have a partner; don’t worry, someone who wants to be your partner is coming over.”
Upon hearing this, Murong Lian felt an ominous premonition. The name Yang Yuan flashed through her mind, and when she turned around, it was indeed Yang Yuan. He approached with a smile on his face, walking elegantly.
This time, there was probably no escaping.
Murong Lian could only stand still and watch Yang Yuan, revealing a faint smile.
“Miss Murong, thank you for gracing us with your presence at the company’s establishment,” Yang Yuan said as he reached the group, smiling slightly. His gentlemanly demeanor garnered much admiration from the socialites present.
If it weren't for the incident involving the Studio, Su Xiuwen might have given Yang Yuan a good review for his behavior. However, knowing that Yang Yuan was the mastermind behind the last Studio incident, she felt no goodwill towards him. No matter how gentlemanly Yang Yuan appeared, she found him utterly pretentious and felt a twinge of disgust.
Murong Lian was not impressed by Yang Yuan's attentiveness, but out of politeness, she smiled at him and said, "With such a warm invitation from Young Master Yang, how could I not come? I wonder if Young Master Yang is satisfied with the advertisement's effect?"
"Yes, the advertisement worked very well. Thank you so much, Miss Murong." Yang Yuan's eyes sparkled with delight as he glanced at Su Xiuwen and added, "Tonight, I appreciate Miss Su taking time out of her busy schedule to come and cut the ribbon. With Miss Su's support, the Branch will surely thrive."
"No need to be polite. I'm being paid to do this; there's no need for excessive formalities," Su Xiuwen forced a smile that felt unnatural, making it clear to anyone watching that she was not friendly.
"Hehe, cooperation is cooperation, but gratitude still needs to be expressed; otherwise, it would be too impolite." Aware that Su Xiuwen did not like him much, Yang Yuan wisely chose not to continue the conversation with her. He turned to Murong Lian and said with a smile, "Miss Murong, after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, there will be a charity event and a ball. Would you like me to be your partner?"
"Young Master Yang..."
Mo Ming was about to say "she really needs a partner" when she was startled.
No one expected that without hesitation, Murong Lian would take Mo Ming's arm and smile at Yang Yuan, saying, "Young Master Yang, I'm sorry, but I already promised Mo Ming."
