CHAPTER 535: CHAPTER 535: GENTLE AND CAUTIOUS AT FIRST, LATER BECOMING WANTON AND WILD

Yan Xinxin was still pondering how to free herself from Mo Chuxi’s hand once outside, when she suddenly heard a woman excitedly calling out to Mo Chuxi.

And in such a familiar way, calling him "Chuxi."

She instinctively lifted her eyes to look over. The woman was at least 1.7 meters tall, wearing a pair of high heels that accentuated her long and graceful figure.

She wore an asymmetrical long dress; her wavy hair sensually cascaded down over her ample bosom.

Yan Xinxin didn’t know who this woman was, but she was certain Mo Chuxi knew her.

"Long time no see."

The woman walked closer, taking the initiative to greet him. Her large, light gray contact-lensed eyes carried a trace of a smile that was fixed entirely on Mo Chuxi’s face.

"What brings you here? Could it be you’re accompanying an employee from your company to participate in this year’s jewelry design competition?"

"Mm."

Mo Chuxi nodded lightly, his gaze casually sweeping past the woman.

"And you?"

"Me?"

The woman smiled broadly.

"I’m one of the judges for this year’s jewelry design competition."

"Ding!"

As her words fell, the elevator reached the floor of the buffet restaurant.

When the elevator doors opened, everyone walked out.

Yan Xinxin froze for two seconds before hurriedly letting go of Mo Chuxi’s hand and following the crowd out of the elevator.

Watching her stubbornly walk away alone, Mo Chuxi’s brows furrowed slightly before he started striding forward after her.

The woman with wavy hair followed closely behind.

Noticing that Mo Chuxi seemed to be following Yan Xinxin, she asked out of curiosity.

"That woman is...?"

"My wife."

Mo Chuxi replied directly without even glancing at the woman, then walked toward Yan Xinxin.

Yan Xinxin entered the restaurant, picked up a bowl and plate, and casually took a few snacks.

"Xinxin, over here!"

Lu Chenxue’s voice called out from a nearby spot.

Yan Xinxin turned her head and then walked over with her plate to sit down, a faint smile tugging at her lips.

"Xue, you’re so early."

"So are you!"

Lu Chenxue laughed, eyeing Yan Xinxin closely.

"Xinxin, did you not sleep well last night? Why are your eyes so red?"

Yan Xinxin paused as she was eating.

"Uh... Yeah."

"Hehe."

Lu Chenxue giggled slyly before striking with a teasing tone.

"I know! It must be because of Young Master Mo. Did you two battle it out until dawn last night?"

"..."

Even though Yan Xinxin knew Lu Chenxue was joking, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Last night.

She could remember last night.

She recalled being in Mu Qianyuan’s state and nodding in agreement when Mo Chuxi proposed to sleep with her.

At first, his movements were gentle and cautious, but later he became rather unrestrained and wild.

She had no idea how long it lasted—she only recalled falling asleep in a muddled haze afterward.

"Oh no, did I ask something I shouldn’t have? Xinxin, you’re blushing now!"

Seeing the rosy tint on Yan Xinxin’s cheeks, Lu Chenxue stopped joking.

"Huh? I saw Young Master Mo follow you in earlier; how come he’s nowhere to be seen now?"

Upon hearing Lu Chenxue’s comment, Yan Xinxin put down her knife and fork, looking up.

Her gaze scanned the entire restaurant, and—sure enough—Mo Chuxi was nowhere to be found.

Had he left?

"Hi, do you mind if I join your table?"

A vaguely familiar female voice suddenly interrupted. Yan Xinxin snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to see the short-haired woman who had previously greeted Mo Chuxi.

She smiled at Yan Xinxin, clearly seeking her consent.

Yan Xinxin answered with a faint smile.

"Suit yourself."

"Thank you."

The woman immediately took a seat beside her after receiving her response.

"You seem familiar with Chuxi? I noticed you were together just now?"

The woman looked at Yan Xinxin, her face carrying a polite, smiling expression, as she inquired.

Yan Xinxin hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"May I ask who you are...?"

"I’m Chuxi’s ex-girlfriend."
