Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness turned their heads simultaneously and discovered an additional head above them. It was a woman's head, with exquisite features, sharp contours, and a strong three-dimensional quality. Her high nose exuded an air of arrogance, and her fair face resembled white jade, flawless in beauty.
At this moment, the breathtakingly beautiful face wore a charming smile, and her alluring eyes were fixed on Mo Ming, unmoving, reflecting Mo Ming's face within them.
Such a stunning beauty stood before them, yet her gaze was solely on Mo Ming, which made Poisonous Madness feel a twinge of jealousy. Grabbing Mo Ming's arm, he whispered, "Boss, be honest with me. What is your relationship with her?"
"There is no relationship at all!"
Mo Ming raised an eyebrow, shaking off Poisonous Madness's hand. Seeing the skeptical expression on Poisonous Madness's face, he emphasized, "I really have no relationship with her. Can you stop using your twisted mind to look at me?"
"Really?"
Poisonous Madness glanced at Mo Ming's expression and then at the beauty, still finding it hard to believe. After all, a stunning woman like her wouldn’t pay attention to someone who exuded such a weak male aura unless there was some connection.
The beauty blinked her lovely eyes and smiled slightly, saying, "Mo Ming, who said we have no relationship? Have you forgotten?"
There really was a connection!
Poisonous Madness felt as if lightning had struck his brain; his eyes widened in shock as he looked at Mo Ming with disdain. He remarked coolly, "The beautiful lady has already said so; Boss, how can you still say there's no relationship?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming was taken aback. He looked at the beauty and forced a smile. "Luoxiwei, if I remember correctly? I told you not to make such international jokes; it could easily tarnish my reputation. What relationship could we possibly have?"
"Well," Luoxiwei paused for a moment as she noticed both Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness staring at each other in disbelief. She chuckled and said, "Look how scared you are! What I meant to say is that we had met before; you even saved me."
This statement was indeed true. When Mo Ming first arrived in America and was returning from a nightclub late at night, he happened to encounter Luoxiwei being cornered by a group of thugs. He couldn't stand by idly and intervened to save her, even escorting her back to her dormitory. Of course, nothing happened between them; they merely exchanged names.
After that time, Mo Ming had not seen Luoxiwei again.
"Aren't you studying in the United States? How did you suddenly end up here in Myanmar?" Mo Ming asked with a wry smile.
"I don't remember. I finished my studies this year. To fulfill my childhood dream of traveling the world, I started from Los Angeles and went to many places. I've almost traveled all around Myanmar and am planning to go back home for a bit of fun," Luoxiwei replied with a slight smile.
"Oh, so you're in Nanhua City. If I had known earlier, I would have gone there sooner; maybe we could have met earlier," she added.
"Hey, beautiful, do you need us to be your tour guides? I'm very familiar with the sights of Nanhua City. If you need it, I can take you around for free," Poisonous Madness chimed in eagerly.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Poisonous Madness, the poison of perfume and the madness that others laugh at. It's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful Miss Luoxiwei," he said.
Mo Ming looked frustrated. This Toxic Jar was quite the smooth talker, relying on his cool and handsome appearance to deceive countless innocent girls. Now that he saw such a stunning beauty like Luoxiwei, he was definitely going to make his move.
However, this guy was really full of nonsense. He had never been to Nanhua City but was bragging about being familiar with it. Mo Ming wanted to see how Poisonous Madness would dig his own grave later.
But Poisonous Madness didn't seem worried about Mo Ming's thoughts at all. Not being familiar with Nanhua City was no problem; he just needed to brush up on some information. With today's advanced transportation network, if you want to know something, you can become familiar with it quickly!
Clearly, the name Poisonous Madness was quite strange. Luoxiwei was momentarily taken aback but soon smiled again, her beautiful and alluring eyes began to blink playfully as she said, "That's a strange name. Do you really have the surname Poison?"
"Absolutely! This silky man next to me likes to call me Toxic Jar. If you think that's a nice name, feel free to call me that," Poisonous Madness chuckled and added, "I have too many flaws; my biggest flaw is having too many strengths."
"Well, you really have a sense of humor," Luoxiwei said, clearly taken aback by the cold joke that Poisonous Madness had just made, his lips curling into a somewhat forced smile.
Mo Ming rolled his eyes at Poisonous Madness and then turned to Luoxiwei, saying, "Just ignore him. He got kicked in the head by a donkey when he was little, so now his brain often misfires and he spouts nonsense. Just don't pay attention to him."
Luoxiwei, who had been smiling awkwardly, now laughed naturally. Poisonous Madness, however, was not pleased. He shot Mo Ming a glare and complained, "Boss, that's really unfair. You casually slander me like that—do you have no conscience?"
Mo Ming shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "I don't think my conscience is troubled at all."
"Alright, stop bickering. The plane is about to take off. Let's not chat for now. When we get to Nanhua City, remember to be my tour guides," Luoxiwei said with a chuckle as he watched the two argue before settling back into his seat.
...
The flight was silent, and after the plane landed smoothly, Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness helped Luoxiwei off the plane. To their surprise, Luoxiwei had a mountain of luggage with him, making it look like he was moving.
But it was fine; with Poisonous Madness around, these matters were easier to handle. Mo Ming watched with empty hands as Poisonous Madness struggled to carry a huge pile of luggage out of the airport, feeling a bit sympathetic.
Hey, when you're out to chase girls, you have to pay some price; otherwise, do you think it's that easy to win over such beautiful girls?
Poor Poisonous Madness had to deal with the luggage while Luoxiwei leisurely chatted and laughed with Mo Ming along the way. This made Poisonous Madness shoot several murderous glares at Mo Ming, who completely ignored them. After all, he brought this upon himself by showing off.
Two sports cars drove up and parked slowly by the side. One was Mo Ming's own car, while the other belonged to He Yunsong, which surprised Mo Ming a bit. Before returning, Mo Ming had informed Lin Yuan'er; she must have told He Yunsong.
He Yunsong got out of the car first and walked over with a faint smile on his face. "Boss, you're really inconsiderate! You come back without telling me! If it weren't for Sister-in-law informing me, I might have been the last one to know!"
"Hey, I'll tell you when I get back," Mo Ming chuckled. "Don't worry about the details; I was in such a rush to come back that I couldn't notify all of you."
After parking the car, Lin Yuan'er got out of the sports car, her stunning aura unchanged. When Poisonous Madness saw Lin Yuan'er, his eyes lit up; another exquisite beauty. However, seeing Lin Yuan'er's smile directed at Mo Ming made him instantly understand—this woman was truly his Sister-in-law.
"Brother Mo, it's good that you're back. I've been worried about you while you were away; I'm glad you're okay," Lin Yuan'er said, linking her arm with Mo Ming's, her face beaming with happiness.
When Luoxiwei saw Lin Yuan'er linking arms with Mo Ming, a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes, but no one noticed. Perhaps she had some feelings for Mo Ming.
"What’s there to worry about? When have I ever lied to you? If I say there's nothing wrong, then there's nothing wrong," Mo Ming replied with a grin, habitually reaching out to poke Lin Yuan'er's nose. "Where's Fuxi? Why isn't she here? Didn't I ask her to protect you?"
"Well, don't blame her; I asked her to protect Sister Lian instead. With Uncle around, I felt there wasn't much need for protection. In fact, Sister Lian needs it more," Lin Yuan'er explained.
Lin Yuan'er glanced at the unfamiliar Poisonous Madness and Luoxiwei and asked, "Oh, Brother Mo, why don't you introduce us to your friends?"
"I'm Luoxiwei, a friend of Mo Ming's from America," Luoxiwei introduced herself with a friendly smile and casually introduced Poisonous Madness. "He says his name is Poisonous Madness; you can call him Toxic Jar—Mo Ming's brother."
"That's exactly right," Poisonous Madness said cheerfully. He was quite pleased to be introduced by a beautiful woman and felt a bit excited at the thought of possibly catching up with a wealthy beauty.
Lin Yuan'er smiled warmly at both of them and introduced herself as well. "I'm Lin Yuan'er; nice to meet you."
"He Yunsong, a brother of Mo Ming's here," He Yunsong took the initiative to shake hands with Poisonous Madness and Luoxiwei.
"Alright, now that everyone knows each other, let's not just stand around chatting. How about we find a place to have a good meal and then slowly talk about life and dreams?" Mo Ming said as he wrapped his arm around Lin Yuan'er's shoulder with a smile.
Everyone burst into laughter as Poisonous Madness once again took on the labor of loading Luoxiwei's luggage into the car. The group then headed straight for the Phoenix Grand Hotel, where Lin Yuan'er mentioned that a reservation had already been made. However, even without a reservation, as long as Mo Ming wanted it, there would be no shortage of rooms!
Upon arriving at the Phoenix Grand Hotel, Mo Ming encountered the reinstated Li Xiulan. They exchanged polite smiles and nods without much conversation, but Li Xiulan's eyes were filled with gratitude. She knew that if it weren't for Mo Ming's help, many people would have been reluctant to consider her for the manager position at the Phoenix Grand Hotel.
Entering the room reserved by Lin Yuan'er, it was pitch dark. Mo Ming was pushed inside by Lin Yuan'er, and just a few steps in, the lights turned on to reveal a large group of people.
Murong Lian, Murong Wei, Fu Meng, and others were present, creating a somewhat festive atmosphere. Just as Mo Ming recognized everyone, confetti shot out from both sides, showering down around him, with some bits landing on his head.
"Hehe, Cousin-in-law, are you surprised?" Fu Qingyun tossed aside the confetti cannon and rushed over with a big grin, asking Mo Ming. He rolled his eyes at her and replied, "Not at all!"
"Hmph, I knew it! This setup is so cliché; it can't fool Cousin-in-law," Fu Qingyun made a face at Lin Yuan'er and said, "Cousin, now you should believe us; we look so foolish!"
"Little girl, mind your own business!" Lin Yuan'er shot a resentful glance at Mo Ming and said, "Brother Mo, why didn't you pretend to be surprised? Everyone has been waiting here for you for quite a while."
"Alright then, this might work for kids but feels a bit childish for me," Mo Ming said with a wry smile and shook his head. "It's just a meal; there's no need to make such a fuss about it. Now everyone, let's dig in!"
