Emperor Building.
Tang Yan and Mu Bai were sipping coffee and chatting on the third floor.
Upon hearing what happened at the blind date dinner, Tang Yan burst into laughter, drawing several glances.
But soon, those people tactfully shifted their gaze away; after all, few people here wouldn't recognize Tang Yan and Mu Bai.
Mu Bai looked at Tang Yan, his eyes openly filled with disdain.
Is there even a joke here?
Finally, Tang Yan stopped laughing. "So, did you do it on purpose? Didn't want the blind date, so you brought back your ex-girlfriend for a dramatic performance."
Mu Bai took a sip of the unsweetened coffee, the bitter taste spreading in his mouth. "If only she would agree."
Tang Yan winked at him, "It's just a woman, right? Let me teach you a trick, and you'll have it sorted in no time!"
Mu Bai actually bought into it, "Let's hear it?"
Tang Yan cleared his throat before leisurely saying, "Strip down, get in bed, strike a pose, tease, mission accomplished."
Mu Bai's handsome face froze as he looked at him.
Is there anyone in the world more unreliable than Tang Yan?
"Hahaha!"
"Mu Bai, you look utterly beguiling like that!"
Knowing Mu Bai was annoyed, Tang Yan just had to add fuel to the fire.
Picked the wrong friends, indeed, picked the wrong friends.
Mu Bai took another sip of coffee, ignoring Tang Yan who sat across from him.
But then Tang Yan suddenly got serious, "Okay, I'm done teasing you. I'll give you some real advice: one, flowers; two, diamond ring; three, luxury car; four, villa."
Mu Bai looked at him and simply asked, "Does every woman like these things?"
Tang Yan answered with utmost confidence, "Trust me, it won't go wrong!"
Mu Bai frowned, questioning its truth?
If Shi Yu were here, he'd surely say just one word.
And that word would be, vulgar.
Seventeenth floor, CEO's office.
After nearly three hours of work, Shi Yu finally dealt with all the important documents that needed his personal review.
He stood up, casually loosened his bow tie, and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt, revealing bronze skin.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the bustling city.
The secretary came in several times to deliver documents, each time sneaking glances at him.
With every glance, her heart would race wildly.
Suddenly—
Shi Yu narrowed his enchanting eyes and curled his seductive lips.
Down on the street, a petite woman was bending her head, drawing circles and jotting something down in a notepad.
Even though it wasn't very clear from here, he still recognized her at once, even though she looked dozens of times smaller from this distance.
A smirk spread across his lips, carrying a hint of roguish allure.
Turning around, he left the office in large strides.
After waiting for an hour without spotting Shi Yu, Mu Bai and Tang Yan had no choice but to leave.
To prove he was right, Tang Yan decided to play a little game with Mu Bai.
Just after leaving the Emperor Building, an exquisitely beautiful woman caught his eye.
He had to admit, she was strikingly attractive.
With just a glance, Tang Yan decided she would be the target.
"Ahem!"
Tang Yan gave an exaggerated cough, shooting Mu Bai a very suggestive look, "Take a look, what do you think?"
Mu Bai glanced at the beauty not far away, only seeing her back.
As for her face, he didn't seem interested.
Frowning, he said to Tang Yan, "I think we should just drop it."
Although he was quite curious to see if flowers, diamond rings, luxury cars, and villas would work, he wasn't about to use dubious methods.
Tang Yan gave him a contemptuous look, "You're a grown man, chickening out's not very heroic. Besides, I'm not asking you to go in person."
Mu Bai's frown deepened, clearly still undecided.
Tang Yan patted his shoulder, "Young Master Mu! Open those almond-shaped eyes of yours and watch closely, see just how cool I am!"
