CHAPTER 135: CHAPTER 135: XI SHAOQI, IT’S OVER

Xi Shaoqi and Lin Mubai were sitting face-to-face, with Zuo Qingfeng and Lan Luo sitting on either side.

As the only boy in the Lan Family and Lin Mubai’s cousin, Lan Luo’s personality was always exceptionally lively. Wherever he was, there was never a worry about the atmosphere going cold.

Sure enough, his humorous nature came into play once again: "Ladies and gentlemen, on such a beautiful evening, how could we not make the most of it? Let’s get happy, shall we?"

Xi Shaoqi and Zuo Qingfeng exchanged a glance while touching their mahjong tiles and smiled helplessly at each other. Only Lin Mubai frowned more and more tightly. Lan Luo, ready to continue raising his voice, caught this glimpse out of the corner of his eye, quickly straightened up and said, "Yes, yes, mahjong, let’s play mahjong. It’s my turn. Three bamboos."

The mahjong game had just made it through three rounds when suddenly the box’s door was pushed open from the outside. Seeing who it was, Xi Shaoqi immediately stood up to welcome them, his face full of surprise: "Xi Yu, weren’t you supposed to be attending a film festival abroad? When did you come back?" While speaking to his sister, Xi Shaoqi didn’t forget to greet the woman next to her: "Yuwen, you’re here too."

Xi Shaoqi wasn’t too fond of Gao Yuwen, but since she was his sister’s friend, it wouldn’t be right not to give her face.

Gao Yuwen clearly noticed the difference in treatment, but she was, after all, a professional actress, maintaining a perfectly graceful smile without showing any displeasure.

"Brother Shaoqi, long time no see. I missed your birthday as I was abroad, I’m sorry. This is a birthday gift for you, I hope Brother Shaoqi won’t mind," said Gao Yuwen, handing over a delicate gift box that was plainly of considerable worth.

While speaking, Gao Yuwen’s shy eyes lingered on him ambiguously.

"Of course not." Xi Shaoqi knew well how to maintain composure, so he wouldn’t want to embarrass a woman in front of so many people. He would accept it and give back a gift later.

Seeing her brother accept her best friend’s gift, Xi Yu hurriedly presented her own belated birthday gift, mischievously saying, "Dear brother, this is from your little sister."

Xi Shaoqi chuckled fondly, lightly pinching her cute nose, and smiled, "Thank you. Haven’t you been talking about your Brother Mubai? He’s back in the country now, hurry up and say hello."

The beautiful Xi Yu immediately widened her jet-black eyes with anticipation: "Wow, Brother Mubai is back?"

With that said, her beautiful eyes quickly scanned the room, finally landing on the man whose demeanor was as aloof as ever. Gao Yuwen also noticed the Brother Mubai her best friend was talking about, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t look away.

How could such a handsome man exist? The defined features, dark eyes, and high nose bridge...

Even in the entertainment circle, a place filled with handsome guys, there wasn’t anyone who could compare. Who exactly was this man?

While Gao Yuwen was stunned by the man’s appearance, her best friend had already jumped over to him, happily linking arms: "Brother Mubai, you finally decided to return home."

In their circle, apart from Lin Mubai, Xi Shaoqi’s sister was the youngest. Lin Mubai, being the only child at home without siblings, naturally treated his good friend’s sister as his own, with less of his usual indifference and more warmth.
