"He, isn’t he that..."

Upon clearly seeing Zhou Wang’s face, Ah Jie was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. He pointed at Zhou Wang and stammered incoherently.

No more than a few days had passed since their encounter at the airport, so both of them naturally remembered Zhou Wang vividly, not to mention that Ah Gui had even added Zhou Wang on WeChat.

He had even been torn more than once about whether to take the initiative to greet Zhou Wang... He really wanted to ask him how to get closer to girls!

Especially at this moment, the overwhelming presence of Zhou Wang’s king-like aura once again swept over, greatly impacting Ah Gui’s spirit.

The girl who was laughing and almost leaning half her body against Zhou Wang at the moment, that was Sun Xining!

Ah Gui worked in the same company as Sun Xining, and from her first day on the job, she undoubtedly became the company’s new goddess.

The receptionist she replaced had absolutely no chance of resisting and disappeared from most of the guys’ attention.

The key was that not only was Sun Xining beautiful, with a great figure, but she wasn’t the aloof type. She was very polite to others, never showed impatience while chatting with anyone, and sometimes she’d say something witty, making her colleagues (mainly male) burst into laughter.

In the eyes of honest people like Ah Gui, she was pure, kind, and attentive, practically the perfect girlfriend model.

In the eyes of more experienced guys with certain family backgrounds like Ah Jie, she was sensible, obedient, and intelligent, indeed the best choice for marriage.

There were many beautiful girls in the world, but a pretty girl with these qualities was hard to find even with a lantern...

Of course, fantasy was just fantasy. Ah Gui did have a bit of self-awareness, especially since he’d seen the company’s vice president invite Sun Xining to dinner, only to be subtly declined.

And when Ah Jie also got to know Sun Xining through him, Ah Gui immediately felt that she was even further out of reach.

After all, in whatever aspect, he couldn’t compare to his childhood friend Ah Jie.

Yet it seemed that Ah Jie’s progress with her was quite ordinary, as far as he knew, they hadn’t even gone on a date alone, which gave Ah Gui a touch of hidden satisfaction.

It seemed it wasn’t that he was too lacking, but perhaps Sun Xining’s standards were truly high.

Or maybe, she was simply a very pure and self-respecting girl, how could she possibly be easily approached?

Until tonight...

Ah Gui and Ah Jie were just a bit slow to react, not entirely clueless. When Ah Jie’s cousin Wang Jia had set things up and brought the trio to meet Huo Chengrui and others, even Ah Gui started to sense something was off.

Wang Jia actually intended to introduce Sun Xining to Huo Chengrui!

Ah Gui felt very indignant about it, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Ah Jie hadn’t said anything, and it was clear that Huo Chengrui was no ordinary person.

Though he was a bit older, he carried himself with the demeanor of the wealthy families seen in films and dramas.

Indeed, once Ah Jie understood Huo Chengrui’s identity, he repeatedly warned Ah Gui not to speak carelessly, experiencing for the first time Ah Jie being so cautious in front of others.

It was evident that this Mr. Huo was someone both he and his cousin couldn’t afford to offend.

Ah Gui might not understand everything, but he knew that the Richard Mille watch on Huo Chengrui’s wrist was worth at least seven figures, a sum he’d never earn in a lifetime of work.

At that moment, Ah Gui felt that things weren’t going well—his goddess, whom he saw as his spiritual refuge, might just be trapped here...

But Ah Gui never expected that Sun Xining wouldn’t even give face to these Hong Kong Island young masters; after knocking over a glass of wine, she just ran off.

Ah Gui was quite resistant to Ah Jie dragging him out to find Sun Xining and bring her back.

It was obvious she didn’t want to have anything to do with those people anymore, so why force her?

But he couldn’t refuse Ah Jie, so he reluctantly followed, never expecting to witness the sight before him...

Sun Xining, who was always gentle but kept a distance from all men, was now half-leaning in the arms of another man, her gaze almost electric!

Yes, Ah Gui didn’t want to use such a description, but he distinctly felt the intensity of eye contact between the man and woman.

What shocked him more was that it was the same big shot from the airport!

As if it wasn’t enough that he handled four women at once that day, he didn’t even spare the goddess Ah Gui had secretly admired for two months!

Bitterness, jealousy, yet with profound awe...

This was what was going through Ah Gui’s mind at that moment.

"Ah Gui... is that right?"

While Ah Gui was in a daze, the big shot actively greeted him.

This left Ah Gui feeling both surprised and flattered—he actually remembered his name.

"Yeah, yeah, big bro, you still remember me?"

"Zhou Wang, do you know them?"

At this moment, Sun Xining asked in surprise from the side.

After a brief exchange of information with Sun Xining, Zhou Wang understood—he was the one who brought Sun Xining here, no wonder their eyes were so strange.

"Well, isn’t this quite the coincidence. Looks like we have a bit of fate!"

After Sun Xining’s explanation, Zhou Wang smiled and nodded to Ah Gui. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Fate my..."

Ah Jie held back, swallowing his words because he’d felt humiliated by Zhou Wang before, and Zhou Wang’s demeanor indeed seemed different from ordinary people, leaving Ah Jie with an inexplicable sense of dread.
