The commotion over there was significant, instantly drawing the attention of many onlookers who crowded around.
Li Meiling, who had just met up with her boyfriend, came over for a glance, and her eyes lit up instantly, with a tingling sense of excitement.
Listening to her colleagues’ discussions, Wen Ruan couldn’t help but take a look at the mobile phone screen.
Her facial expression paused for a moment, and she directly picked up the phone from the table.
She dragged the progress bar to the end.
The video played, showing a young man sitting in a Mercedes-Benz.
Dressed in an excellently textured khaki shirt, his fingers slightly twitched on the steering wheel.
The smooth jawline, fluffy hair, smiling corners of the mouth, high-bridged nose, bright eyes, and the elegant aura of the silver Mercedes all shone through.
It was obvious that the author of the video had added a filter, making the scene look very sophisticated.
Then, the Mercedes-Benz quickly started and disappeared from the frame.
In that fleeting glimpse was an ineffable charm.
Of course, what was most important was that the person was actually Tang Song!
And that Mercedes-Benz S-Class worth over a million.
It looked like Hu Mingli didn’t know much about him.
Wen Ruan pursed her lips, her gaze somewhat vacant.
She had never seen Tang Song in such a state before; it was like he was a different person.
It made her think of Li Bai’s line in the poem “The Heroic Spirit of the Traveller”: “The silver saddle gleams on the white horse, dashing like a shooting star.”
His whole being exuded a vigorous confidence and sharpness.
Seeing her like this, Zhong Ying said in a mocking tone, “Sister Wen, can we not get so excited? Even if you really like him, he’s not yours.”
Li Meiling covered her mouth and giggled, “It’s okay, take a few more looks, and you’ll have material for your dreams tonight.”
Wen Ruan put the phone down and licked her dry lips, then suddenly said, “Well, that’s not necessarily true. What if he is my boyfriend?”
“Pfft—” Zhong Ying covered her abdomen and laughed, “I didn’t expect Sister Wen to be such a dreamer at her age.”
A few female colleagues who usually disliked Wen Ruan also giggled behind their hands.
It was such a coincidence that the attractive man in the video you just happened to scroll to is your boyfriend.
Moreover, him being so young and driving a million-dollar luxury car, he doesn’t match you at all.
Zhang Xintong awkwardly smiled, somewhat at a loss on how to lighten the mood.
Just then, a handsome male colleague who had agreed to sing at noon came over and said loudly, “Wen Ruan, is your throat feeling better? Want to sing a song together?”
There was a mini-sized stage in the hall where they could do karaoke directly.
He obviously saw that the atmosphere was off and wanted to help Wen Ruan, hoping to earn some favor.
“Sorry, Wenzhe, I don’t feel well, I really can’t sing,” Wen Ruan shook her head; she really wasn’t in the mood.
Li Wenzhe was taken aback, then said, “Then, forget it.”
Zhang Xintong quickly stood up, “Wenzhe, let’s go, I’ll sing with you. Rainy days are perfect for listening to music.”
Having said that, she cheerfully pulled his arm and headed towards the stage in the hall.
The two stood on the stage and discussed for a moment, and Li Wenzhe selected the song “The Guest,” which he had always wanted to sing with Wen Ruan.
After the pleasing introduction, came Zhang Xintong’s gentle voice.
?BGM: How many winters have passed since we broke up
What day is it today
Sometimes I still think of you…?
Both of them were karaoke enthusiasts could sing without any reservation.
The whole hall’s atmosphere instantly mellowed out.
Wen Ruan’s colleagues continued to watch the video, chatting.
Zhong Ying, who had been paying close attention to Director Wang, suddenly stood up, “Director Wang is back, something seems off, I’ll go to greet him.”
Upon hearing this, colleagues turned their gazes towards the window.
What they saw next was the somewhat disheveled Wang Liyu.
Half of his body was wet, with mud clinging to his clothes.
A few male colleagues quickly rose to their feet, opened the grand doors, and waited for their leader to come in.
“Yunyun, I think my eyes are playing tricks on me, I just saw that silver Mercedes from the video!” a female colleague suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone had already been looking outside, and at these words, they perked up instantly.
Through the hazy rain mist, a silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class glided slowly over the wet cobblestone road.
Rainwater formed a thin film on the car’s body, causing it to shimmer with a gentle silver light.
“It’s the same model! But surely it’s not the same one, right?”
“Although they blurred the license plate in the video, you can tell it’s from Yan A, it actually might be the same one!”
“Can it really be such a coincidence!?”
“I feel like my love story is approaching, what should I do?”
Li Meiling patted Wen Ruan’s shoulder and chuckled, “Wen Ruan, didn’t you say that guy was your boyfriend earlier? You should hurry up and go welcome him.”
But Wen Ruan was too distracted to mind her, immediately standing up and staring at the silver Mercedes parked outside.
Her heart went “thump thump” rapidly.
?BGM: The scene he had meticulously set up
Unfortunately, this scenery belongs to you
…?
In the focus of all eyes,
the Mercedes headlights turned off, and the driver’s door cracked open.
A black business umbrella extended out.
There was a “bang” as it blocked the pouring rain.
The door swung open.
A pair of black leather shoes stepped onto the damp cobblestones.
Then, a tall and handsome figure rose from inside the car.
He bowed his head slightly, the right hand holding the umbrella, the left hand holding a bunch of blooming tulips, with a dark suit draped over his arm.
He closed the car door and lifted his head to look inside through the floor-to-ceiling window.
With a lofty nose, a smile on his lips, and teeth brighter than his red lips, his supreme jawline was incredibly smooth, and he looked identical to the man in the video.
[Special effect triggered]
He had an aura of calm and composure, confidence and keenness, like the male protagonist straight out of a novel.
He seemed out of place in the world around him, yet perfectly melded into this drizzly scene.
?BGM: Thank you for the special invitation
To watch the love story you’ve been longing for
…?
He adjusted the position of his umbrella and, with his long strides, began walking toward this side through the layers of rain curtains.
He happened to meet Wang Liyu and Zhong Ying, brushing past them.
Zhong Ying appeared to be transfixed, standing still as she watched him walk past her and into the open door.
Around her were sounds of people taking deep breaths and swallowing.
Wen Ruan bit her lip firmly, gazing blankly at the boy approaching her.
This feeling, the racing heartbeat, the fear of making eye contact, was like admitting, “I think I like you.”
