Chapter 23: Gentleness is a Poison 3

As for Mu Mian, although she could not be considered a devastating beauty, her pure temperament was unparalleled, like a quietly blooming kapok flower—dazzling yet with an innocently unique charm. Her eyes were black, brimming with an unworldly clarity.

No sooner had Gong Heng and Mu Mian entered than someone came up to her side, and Mu Mian's face paled slightly upon seeing this person.

Jin Ruomei looked stunning today, adorned in a bright red, floor-length gown, with glamorous makeup and a proud demeanor. Without showing any trace of it, she nudged Mu Mian from Gong Heng's side and placed herself in front of him, smiling, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

With a smile, Gong Heng nodded at Jin Ruomei, "We got caught in traffic on the way here, so we were delayed." Then, turning to Mu Mian standing behind Jin Ruomei, he said, "Go find Xu Yuan. Remember, don't wander off."

"Oh."
