Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

In the club, men and women are always looking for fun.

Lu Yanli's displeasure quickly subsided.

The conversation somehow veered towards Mu Wangbei, because one of the group of friends had seen Mu Wangbei having dinner with a girl the night before.

For anyone else, this wouldn't be a big deal.

But this one from the Mu family is no ordinary person.

As everyone knows, Mu Wangbei is the most famous expressionless young master in Beicheng. He is very serious and cautious, and never goes out to play around, let alone flaunt a girl in public. There has never been any news of him dating before, and some people in the circle even doubt whether he is straight.

I've also heard that some people in that circle have fantasized about him.

Even Lu Yanli was surprised. He remembered that he had run into Mu Wangbei once at the gymnasium. He went up to greet him and remembered that Mu Wangbei was wearing a black dog leash on his wrist. Um... a black wristband. He had teased him about it. But when he saw his keychain, he copied him and said it was a gift from his girlfriend. At the time, he thought Mu Wangbei was joking, but now he thought that he might actually have a girlfriend.

Today he also picked up the keys to a Continental SUV. The keychain Fang Youxi gave him was still on the table. The more Lu Yanli looked at it, the more annoyed he became.

Some people are curious: "Which family's daughter did the Mu family choose as their daughter-in-law?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know her. She's a pretty girl, but I've never seen her in the industry before."

"Didn't you secretly take a picture or something?"

The man thought about it for a moment, and sure enough, he had brought a woman to dinner that day; she was an internet celebrity. The woman had taken selfies all night, and from their table's angle, one could probably vaguely see Mu Wangbei's table in the selfies. He quickly said, "Wait a minute, let me ask if they have any photos?"

He called the girl and transferred several 520 yuan red envelopes. "Beep beep beep beep beep beep~" Then a series of selfies were sent to his WeChat, from various angles, all pretentious and photoshopped to the point that the table was crooked.

The crowd really loved making a scene; four or five people huddled together as if welcoming someone to cause trouble, zooming in on every photo, and actually managing to get a shot of Mu Wangbei's table in the frame.

"You can't even see what she looks like? All you can see is that it's a woman."

Everyone laughed, purely out of boredom. Lu Yanli picked up the phone, glanced at it, and scoffed. It was a profile picture, with the head down. What could you possibly see from that? Sure enough, all you could see was that it was a woman. These people are really crazy.

He handed the phone back, then realized something was wrong, so he took it back, opened it, and looked at it carefully again. The more he looked, the more familiar the woman seemed.

Not only her hairstyle, but her clothes also look familiar. Has Fang Youxi ever worn a knitted sweater of this color?

Was it the day I gave him the keychain at his house?

The person next to him, who had just been smiling, now had his eyebrows furrowed and asked, "What's wrong, Yanli? Do you know him?"

"I don't recognize him. How can I recognize him if I can't even see his face clearly?" He handed the phone back.

Less than half a minute later, he picked up his phone and stood up: "You guys drink, I'm going to make a call."

The call was to Fang Youxi. She said she had made plans tonight, and he jokingly asked if it was her boyfriend. Now Lu Yanli doesn't find the joke funny at all.

"Hey, where are you?"

Fang Youxi was completely baffled. Lu Yanli called her without even a subject, verb, or object, and immediately started checking up on her. Was this guy out of his mind?

Seeing his sister's disgusted expression, Tang Ze chuckled and asked, "Who is it? Lu Yanli?"

Upon hearing Tang Ze's voice on the other end of the phone, Lu Yanli's expression softened instantly. His tone became more gentle: "I was planning to invite you to dinner tonight, but you said you had plans. I should have joined you if I had known you were having dinner with Lao Er. You're not an outsider; it's just a matter of adding another pair of chopsticks."

Fang Youxi thought to herself, "Doesn't this person have any self-awareness? You're the outsider here, okay?"

After exchanging a few random words and hanging up, Tang Ze joked, "Lu Yanli seems to care a lot about you, even checking up on you during meals?"

"Tch, why are you making it sound like I have some kind of relationship with him? He's just a client of mine. I don't care what my grandpa and dad think, but my attitude is very clear: marriage is out of the question. I can't stop them from inviting people to dinner at the old house. If they can introduce me to some business, I won't object to picking a few more promising young men. The more the merrier."

Tang Ze was amused by her attitude: "I heard that on Saturday, Dad tried to steal a chicken but lost the bait, and he was so depressed at home that he drank half a bottle of whiskey by himself."

Fang Youxi's mood improved when she talked about what happened that day.

She laughed and said, "Not really. I also provided him with a lot of emotional support. You know, without me, he would never know what it's like to have a cold, leaky little girl. Anyway, I think he really enjoys it."

"Only you. If it were me and the eldest brother, Elder Tang would probably curse us to death with the Tightening Spell. But the Lu family, which Dad and Grandpa carefully selected, hasn't treated you badly."

Fang Youxi scoffed: "What kind of good person do you think Lu Yanli is? I've heard gossip about at least three or four of his relationships in Lu Tong's break room, and they're as dramatic as a soap opera."

Tang Ze laughed so hard he almost fell over. It had to be Fang Youxi, that little devil, that Lu Yanli had really messed with her.

To be honest, Lu Yanli can't really be called a player, but he has a good habit in the circle: he doesn't directly refuse people and embarrass them.

Over the years, many women have pursued him, including Lu Tong's business partners, heiresses in the industry, high-level executives from securities firms, and celebrities who have shown interest in him. Lu Yanli has managed to appease them all. Whether they are actually together or not is unknown, but none of them have spoken ill of him behind his back. They are friends when they meet. This guy can be a womanizer without getting attached to anyone.

With such high emotional intelligence, it's no wonder he's managed to make Lutong Group's business thrive over the past few years.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Youxi saw the WeChat message Mu Wangbei sent her, asking if she wanted him to come pick her up.

She replied, "No need, I'll go home by myself."

The siblings finished their meal before nine o'clock when someone called Tang Ze to invite him to play billiards. Fang Youxi paid the bill and was about to take a taxi herself, but Tang Ze refused. He personally took his sister to the Platinum Yue Apartment building before driving away.

Fang Youxi watched Tang Ze's car leave the residential area. A few minutes later, she took out her phone to call a car, preparing to go back to Mu Wangbei's place.
