Sun Ruru saw Qin Muni walk in through the mirror in front of her, and naturally flashed a smile, "Mrs. Xu."

Qin Muni smiled politely at her, "Just call me Munni."

"Mm, the waltz you danced with Chairman Xu just now was truly stunning, a perfect match that makes people envious."

"Thank you."

Qin Muni walked to her side, maintaining a subtle distance between them, and took out a lipstick from her clutch.

Sun Ruru stared at Qin Muni in the mirror, her smile growing brighter, "This set of jewelry really suits you."

The necklace and earrings Qin Muni was wearing were gifts chosen for her by Xu Yisen at Van Cleef & Arpels.

However, Qin Muni always felt there was another meaning in Sun Ruru’s tone, she raised an eyebrow subtly, "Oh?"

"That day when I was shopping, I happened to meet Chairman Xu selecting a gift for you. At that time, Chairman Xu couldn’t decide between two sets of jewelry and asked for my opinion.

I said this set suits your temperament, but Chairman Xu didn’t believe it and asked Secretary Tang for advice, Secretary Tang preferred the other set."

Sun Ruru simply informed Qin Muni about the encounter with Xu Yisen that day, speaking in a seemingly innocent tone, but Qin Muni sensed a subtle attempt to sow discord in her words.

"Really, then Miss Sun truly has great taste." Qin Muni smiled gracefully in the mirror at Sun Ruru, her eyes flowing with a gentle warmth, seemingly without catching the implied meaning in Sun Ruru’s words.

"Munni, you can call me Ruru."

Sun Ruru watched as Qin Muni only nodded lightly, and although she was smiling at her, all her actions seemed based only on politeness. Sun Ruru could even sense Qin Muni discreetly maintaining a distance from her.

"I truly envy you and cousin Chu Yan, both have found husbands who adore you."

Sun Ruru’s tone was like a child admiring other children with fun toys, yet lacking jealousy.

Qin Muni simply touched up her lipstick, and after applying it, calmly placed the lipstick back into her bag.

When hearing Sun Ruru’s words, her smile remained as gentle as water, "You’ll find one too. I’ll be off now, goodbye."

"Mm, see you next time, Munni."

Qin Muni left the restroom, and upon arriving at the banquet hall, saw Xu Yisen waiting for her.

As she emerged, Xu Yisen stepped forward, habitually taking Qin Muni’s hand, and they left the banquet hall together. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The driver’s car was already waiting for them outside the hotel, and as they stepped out, the doorman respectfully stepped forward to open the rear car door for them.

After Qin Muni and Xu Yisen got in the car, the driver stepped on the gas and drove away.

It was already mid-March, the weather had warmed considerably compared to February, and the evening breeze was not as bitterly cold as in winter.

Qin Muni glanced at the bustling street out the window, then slowly withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Xu Yisen beside her, "I heard you ran into Sun Ruru in the mall two weeks ago?"

Xu Yisen put down his phone, nodded and asked, "Why?"

Qin Muni slightly curled her lips, her smile tinged with a playful hint, "She just told me she suggested you buy this set of jewelry to give to me."

"Mm, she did say this set suits your temperament, but Secretary Tang said the other set was more suitable for you, so I bought both."

Even Xu Yisen, who usually didn’t understand the subtle intricacies among women, sensed something amiss, and after pausing for a few seconds, he spoke again.
