?Chapter 416: Chapter 248 ?Passive Skill?_2 Chapter 416: Chapter 248 ?Passive Skill?_2 They had barely spoken a few words when the ringtone of the cell phone suddenly erupted.
Chen Siyue apologized with a smile and answered the phone.
“Hello, Li Da.”
“You’ve arrived, right? Okay, thank you, we’ll be right out.”
After hanging up the call, Chen Siyue said, “Another one of our high school classmates is coming to pick us up, Xiaohui, let’s pack up our things first.”
He Xiaohui responded with a subdued murmur.
A little while later,
The sound of “clack clack clack” footsteps grew closer.
Lin Muxue hurried back and once again embraced Tang Song’s arm, “Sorry, my dear, for making you wait, let’s go.”
Feeling his arm wrapped in soft truth, Tang Song smiled cheerfully, “It’s alright.”
Chen Siyue, holding her bag, took a look outside the door
“Siyue, Xiaohui, do you need me to hail a cab for you?” Lin Muxue asked politely, mainly because she feared that He Xiaohui would make a fuss and ask Tang Song to drive them.
Chen Siyue quickly waved her hands, “No need, no need, Li Da has come by car to pick us up, he’s just outside the door.”
Hearing the name “Li Da,” Tang Song raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue by his side.
Previously, she had asked for help, and the excuse she used was that Li Da had been harassing her.
“Then that’s settled, let’s go.” Lin Muxue licked her lips and whispered to Tang Song, “He probably knows I’m here, so he made a special trip over, luckily you are with me today.”
It had to be said, Li Da’s arrival was timely, making her previous excuse hold water.
…
The night fell, and the neon lights gently twinkled on the streets.
Passing through the crystal-clear glass doors, the city’s vibrant noise, mixed with the summer night’s heat, hit them in the face.
A black Buick GL8 was parked by the roadside, flashing its hazard lights.
Upon seeing Chen Siyue come out, Li Da quickly stood up straight and waved vigorously, “Siyue, Muxue, you guys…”
He had barely started speaking when the excited expression on his face instantly froze.
Lin Muxue was still dazzling, dressed in an exceedingly elegant black gown. A few stray hairs gently fell across her clear, fair forehead, revealing a beautifully curved neck and shoulders.
The hem of her gown fluttered gently with the night breeze as if she were a black lotus blooming in the night, mysterious and noble.
His gaze fixed directly on her left.
There stood a tall, handsome young man, around 25 or 26 years old.
Dressed similarly to what he was wearing that day—shirt, trousers, leather shoes—on him, it all seemed particularly stylish.
Lin Muxue clung tightly to his arm, her face adorned with a joyous smile, the couple looking strikingly well-matched and harmonious.
His face turned pale, and he could no longer utter a single word.
“Li Da, thank you for coming to pick us up,” Chen Siyue hurried forward to pat his arm, “It’s great to have you as an old classmate. That is Xue’s boyfriend; would you like to go and greet him?”
“I…” Li Da forced an awkward smile, his gaze lingering on the enchanting Lin Muxue, feeling suddenly hollow inside.
He hadn’t expected her boyfriend to be so outstanding.
It seemed he didn’t even qualify to be a backup option.
Lin Muxue showed no intention of introducing Tang Song and gracefully waved her hand, “Then we’ll be going, goodbye.”
“Goodbye~”
“Goodbye.” Tang Song smiled, nodded gently, and stepped up to the Mercedes-Benz S450L parked in front of the GL8, opening the passenger door.
He reached out his hand graciously towards Lin Muxue.
Lin Muxue’s legs, hidden beneath her long dress, rubbed together gently, her eyes watery as she looked at Tang Song.
This was her first time experiencing such a tender, gentlemanly side of Tang Song.
She felt as if she was receiving the treatment of a girlfriend for the first time.
As she arrived beside the passenger door, she lightly bit her lip, first placing her Hermes Birkin inside, then she reached out to wrap her arms around his neck.
The plump, moist lips pressed against her own.
Under the dim streetlights, the flushed cheeks seemed somewhat adorable.
After gently sucking twice, he reluctantly let go, bent down, and shifted into the car.
“Thud!” The car door was gently closed, and through the car window, one could see Tang Song’s tall and handsome silhouette.
“Tap tap—” He Xiaohui stomped her foot hard and mumbled something with her head down.
In the sultry night of Yan City, Li Da felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.
Pale lips tightly pursed, his gaze still followed the direction where the Mercedes-Benz had disappeared.
He had already planned to ask a favor from the leaders tomorrow, to borrow the Mercedes-Benz E the company used for hosting clients.
He would follow Chen Siyue and He Xiaohui to Lin Muxue’s home to film a video, and take the opportunity to see her so-called boyfriend.
But the scene he witnessed today completely shattered his little schemes.
In the deep and powerful roar of the engine, as the wheels turned softly, the Mercedes-Benz car silently merged into the night, leaving behind only a faint trail of light.
…
Inside the serene Mercedes-Benz, surrounded by luxurious interiors, the windows revealed swiftly passing lights.
Lin Muxue turned her face to look at Tang Song’s undulating profile, her emotions soaring to an extreme at that moment, wanting to pounce on him.
She secretly recalled the English words she memorized today before she could calm down a bit.
Tang Song’s gaze shifted downward, feeling a tickle in his nose.
Fair, long legs and a black evening dress complemented each other, slender and straight.
The delicate skin peeked through the slight slit of the dress, emitting a mysterious glow under the faint light in the car, exuding a seductive and implicit beauty.
“Tang Song, thank you so much for today, for driving over to pick me up and letting my classmates know that I actually have an excellent boyfriend,” Lin Muxue said softly, biting her lower lip and looking pitiful, “I’ll have much fewer troubles in the future.”
“No need to thank me,” Tang Song smiled and stretched his right hand toward the passenger seat, casually adding, “Assistant Lin, tell me about your feelings at the new company these past few days.”
Feeling the slightly cool skin, firm and smooth to the touch.
“Sure, President Tang,” Lin Muxue leaned forward slightly, her body stiff.
After a moment, she shifted her buttocks to the left.
With her head lowered, she started to say, “This is the best company I’ve joined, my colleagues are very capable, the company…”
While driving, Tang Song observed Lin Muxue’s expressions and subtle movements with the corner of his eyes.
From the start of the [Observation and Control] mission to the present, barely four days in time, Xue had undergone no small change.
Moreover, she knew how to seize opportunities, whether it was the work at Gathering Emotion Gold or networking with colleagues.
Her interaction with classmates had also become much smoother compared to yesterday’s first meeting.
She was quickly developing, with considerable changes in her way of thinking and cognition.
Feeling the texture under his hand, listening to Lin Muxue’s warm and soft voice, breathing in the scent of the perfume he liked on her, Tang Song felt extremely contented.
The Xue of today was somewhat a creation that he cultivated and changed bit by bit following [Whisper of Human Nature].
This sense of control was truly delightful.
“Ding! Congratulations Player, the branch mission [Observation and Control] is completed.”
“Ding! You have obtained the [Passive Skill – Observer].”
“Ding! You have gained the attribute boost [Agility +2].”
Immediately after, his mind seemed to be brushed by a breeze of cool air.
Tang Song felt clear-headed and sharp-witted.
He applied a bit more pressure with his right hand, shifting it inward.
“Ah!” Lin Muxue sat up straight, halting her speech, her expression somewhat strained.
This… this…
Tang Song glanced at her with the corner of his eyes, sensed her panic and compliance, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
