Inside the café, Su Muwan's long hair draped over her shoulders. Her white long dress was simple yet elegant. She sat near the window, her arm propping up her chin. An excellent upbringing compelled her to nod and smile politely at the passers-by who stopped to gaze at her.

However, beneath her elegant demeanor, a slight hint of irritation had already begun to emerge.

Inwardly, she bitterly cursed, 'How come that bastard, Lu Yicheng, still hasn't arrived?'

Unbeknownst to her, a distinguished and aloof man sitting not far behind her was deeply engrossed in her silhouette.

Feng XiJue had a faint smirk on his thin lips. His demeanor was cool, and surprise and joy prompted him to reach out subconsciously for his coffee and take a sip to calm the sudden surge of emotions welling up inside him.

She.

She had returned.

However, noticing the amazed looks from passers-by outside the cafe focused on her, Feng XiJue's gaze became even colder, his narrow and long eyes dangerously squinted.

He didn't like other genders staring at her.

Earlier, he didn't like it.

Now, he liked it even less.

Such a look made the woman sitting across him inexplicably flustered, and she had no choice but to lower her head and look at the coffee in front of her.

It was as if Feng XiJue hadn't even glanced at the woman opposite him, who was wearing a meticulous layer of make-up. In his eyes and heart, there was only Su Muwan.

Thinking back to her departure years ago, the warmth and indulgence in his eyes suddenly turned icy cold. Even his lips began to tighten, and a chilling aura started to radiate from his entire body.

His clearly defined fingers lay casually on the table. However, due to anxiety, the knuckles turned a shade paler.

At this point, Su Muan felt someone's gaze on her. She was about to look sideways to identify the source, but she heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Mu Mu……"

The ending tone was purposely extended, expressing a certain intimacy, and also showcasing the man’s distinctive clear voice.

Su Muan laughed softly and turned around to look at the person who had come.

"Only you, Lu Yicheng, can make my name sound so sweet and charming."

Lu Yicheng stood tall and straight in front of Su Muan, with a warm and sunny smile on his lips. His handsome features were even more striking, with his eyebrows and eyes lifted.

He raised his eyebrow towards Su Muan and opened his arms skillfully.

"Mu Mu, aren't we going to hug?"

Su Muan laughed brightly, her eyes curving as she opened her arms and wrapped them around Lu Yicheng's waist, cheek nestled against his chest.

"Lu Yicheng, you're so slow."

Her tone was complaining, but it could hardly conceal Su Muan's dependence on Lu Yicheng.

Lu Yicheng looked down at Su Muan, ran his palm through her hair, mussing it slightly, and then smoothed it out again.

"Traffic."

Su Muan stepped back from Lu Yicheng's embrace and returned to her seat.

Lu Yicheng pulled his hand back. Instead of choosing to sit opposite Su Muan, he sat down beside her, squeezing onto the same sofa with her.

"How did your trip to Italy go?"

Su Mu Nuan smiled and turned to Lu Yi Cheng. His arrival made her forget the look she received earlier and she started sharing the fun experiences she had in Italy.

After finishing her stories about Italy, Su Mu Nuan’s eyes glowed with mischief as she looked at Lu Yi Cheng.

"I've just returned from Italy and haven't found a job yet. Lu Yi Cheng, you might want to consider taking me in."

Lu Yi Cheng nonchalantly played with his car keys, glancing at Su Mu Nuan.

"A CEO of a multinational corporation needs me to take her in?"

"..."

Feng Xi Jue watched their every move, forcefully suppressing the coldness in his heart. The woman opposite him felt the change in the atmosphere and dared not even lift her head to look at Feng Xi Jue.

Not until the two left did Feng Xi Jue stand up, his voice cold, "Miss Yu, I have some work to attend to. We will end our meeting here today."

Without waiting for Yu Jing Yi's response, he turned and decisively walked out of the café, his back erect, bearing the distinctive aura of a soldier.

He was reluctant to come to this blind date in the first place, but meeting Su Mu Nuan was an unexpected pleasure. He certainly wouldn't let this woman slip through his fingers again.

As for other women, they were irrelevant to him.

With long strides, Feng Xi Jue quickly caught up with Su Mu Nuan and Lu Yi Cheng. Seeing Lu Yi Cheng's arm placed over Su Mu Nuan's shoulder, he stepped forward.

He reached out, grasped Su Mu Nuan's arm. His action was accompanied by the glittering shoulder epaulette of golden wheat bunch.

With a sharp and quick pull, Su Mu Nuan was caught off guard and fell into a familiar, passionately warm embrace.
