Chapter 1: Encounter at the Bar

  Ye Xuan had just eaten a little for dinner, and the time was very tight. The cocktail party started at 8:30, but this guy only told her at 7 o'clock, and in between, he still wanted to take her out to eat. What about her dressing up time?

  Ye Xuanmo helped Ou Muxi tidy up his clothes, and he really couldn't stand the fact that Ou wore black all day long. So, after dinner, when they passed by a store, Ye used Ou's card to buy him a suit that looked more gentlemanly.

  A crisp white shirt, light gray suit, and a tie instead of his usual more formal necktie, after re-styling his hair, the perfect man in front of him seemed even more unbeatable when he came out of the clothing store.

  Extremely beautiful, like a heavenly god, without the mysterious and intimidating aura on his body, but instead with some prince-like elegance and poise, fashionable yet not frivolous, young yet still revealing the sharp wisdom of a business elite.

  Ye Xuanmo returned to the Star of Europe's store, changed into a set of formal attire made in the previous few days, an elegant and noble light blue off-the-shoulder long gown, with its unique design not only perfectly showcasing Ye Xuanmo's alluring figure but also bringing out her elegance to the extreme.

  A portion of her long hair was pulled up, while the rest cascaded down her shoulders, the black locks contrasting with her pale skin to create a visually stunning effect. A diamond necklace around her neck, worth a small fortune, further accentuated her opulence.

  This necklace was given to her by Oumu Xun, seeing that she had been staring at him with her eyes wide open, Oumu Xun said that this unique diamond necklace in the world would be given to her.

  This necklace was bought by Ou Mu Xuan at an auction three years ago for 70 million, when he just wanted to join in the excitement, but accidentally saw this necklace, didn't know why, inexplicably wanting to possess it, and today seeing her in a sky blue evening gown, suddenly remembered this necklace, thinking it was the most suitable for her.

  Ou Mu Xuan rarely attends such parties, unless it's a necessary social engagement, he would occasionally attend one, but such gatherings seem to be of great help to Xing Kong, so he specially asked Gu Xin to keep him informed.

  The cocktail party started at 8:30, and when Ou Mu Xuan arrived with Ye Xuan Mo, it was already 9 o'clock.

  The wine party has already started, and they appeared at this time, undoubtedly attracting everyone's attention. Moreover, with the dazzling aura on their bodies, in the instant they entered the door, the lively wine party had a moment of silence!

  Ou Mu Xuan slightly bent his right arm, and Ye Xuan Mo gently wrapped her hand around it. The two of them slowly walked into the hall, where they received champagne from a waiter at the door. Their faint smiles were equally confident, elegant, and captivating.

  At this moment, the talented and beautiful ones seem to be powerless. They are simply the king and queen, although they are not the hosts of this banquet, but they have stolen all the spotlight.

  Among all the people, there was a gaze that seemed particularly astonished.

  "Sorry, the road was congested and I'm late." Ou Mu Xuan slightly nodded to the host with a hint of apology, but in his eyes, there was an air of superiority.

  "It's nothing, it's nothing," the person in charge of the wine party immediately flattered, "It's my honor that President Ou and Miss Xingkong can attend."

  "Long time no see, Mr. Ou." A young man with a hint of respect walked over, seemingly one of Ou Mu-Xuan's business partners, "This is..."

  Ou Mu Xuan glanced at Ye Qian Mo, with a deep satisfaction in his eyes, "My companion, starry sky."

  "Xīngkōng?" The man's eyes widened in surprise, "I've long heard that the genius designer Miss Xīngkōng is stunningly beautiful. Today, I see her for myself and indeed she's a heavenly beauty. Let me toast you."

  "It's too kind of you." Ye Xuanmo raised his glass and clinked it against his, then took a light sip of the wine in his cup.

  It's said that this stunning beauty is none other than the genius designer Xing Kong. Regardless of whether it was due to her beauty, reputation or relationship with Ou Mu Xuan, everyone present, regardless of gender, took the initiative to come over and toast her.

  For a moment, the starry sky seemed to be the focus of this impromptu gathering, with everyone's gaze and all the reporters' spotlights converging on Ye Xuanmo.

  "Miss Starry Sky, is this outfit on you your latest design?" a reporter asked.

  "This dress is a sample I designed for Xing Ou," Ye Xuanmo smiled elegantly, "This dinner party was suddenly told to me by Xuan, without much preparation, so it's a bit abrupt."

  "Ou Zong used to attend social gatherings alone, never with a female companion. Now that you two have appeared together, does it mean your relationship has progressed further?"

  Ye Xuanmo smiled with a look of satisfaction, as if intentionally showing it to someone. Her dark eyes looked into the camera lens, "Xiao Ye is not only an outstanding manager, but also a good man."

  That's right, this sentence, she intentionally said it for Mo Hanxin to hear. Now she can't get her hands free, otherwise, she would never let go of Mo Hanxin and Lin Xue.

  "So how do you explain the previous incident where you hit someone?" Another reporter, with a clear hostile tone, asked, "Is it because Ou Zong is backing you up that you can be so reckless?"

  "...this matter... Ye Juanmo couldn't possibly mention Gu Jiaxiang, or else she would implicate herself."

  At this moment, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, and Ou Mu Xuan stood beside her, with a elegant smile at the corner of his lips, but with a hint of bloodthirsty ruthlessness in his eyes.

  He slightly lowered his head, leaned in close to the microphone extended by the reporter, and narrowed his amber-colored eyes like a wolf, exuding an air of danger. "My woman hits people only because they deserve it, no reason needed!"

  The overbearing tone, yet with a pampering that was unique to Ou Mu Xuan, this firm voice, these protective words, made Ye Xuan Fei suddenly feel her heart go soft and sour, as if it was the first time someone had ever protected her so domineeringly.

  No need for any reason, no need for any excuse, indulging her in everything, standing completely on her side, regardless of right or wrong, he uses his own unique overbearingness to protect her and oppose everyone!

  "Mr. Ou is so supportive of Miss Xingkong, I suppose she must have a special place in his heart?" Another reporter immediately came to the rescue, "No wonder Mr. Ou would rather go against his family's wishes to be with Miss Xingkong, the two are really well-matched, a perfect pair."

  Ou Mu Xuan's expression slightly eased, and he took a glance at the reporter who had just spoken out of turn to see which newspaper he was from. Now he couldn't do anything to that reporter, or else if he did something too excessive, it would affect Ye Miao Miao's image.

  When will he, Ou Mu Xuan, also suppress himself for someone?

  Ou Mu Xuan turned his head to look at Ye Qiu Mo beside him, looking at her beauty, her brightness, her confidence, and her overbearing arrogance, the blood in his body began to surge, wanting to protect her for a lifetime.

  "Mò mò?" A slightly hoarse voice suddenly came over at this time.

  This sound is...
