Chapter 417 - 417 249 Push 1st attempt
?Chapter 417: Chapter 249: Push, 1st attempt Chapter 417: Chapter 249: Push, 1st attempt The car weaved through the streets of Yan City at night.
The lights and neon signs outside the window flickered as they passed by in a blur.
Soon, they entered the underground parking lot of YJTC.
“We’re here,” Tang Song said casually, releasing his right hand and getting out of the car.
Lin Muxue hurriedly grabbed her bag and followed Tang Song to the elevator.
Walking in high heels made her legs feel weak, and she walked with an unsteady gait.
“Ding—” The elevator arrived.
They both stepped in.
Lin Muxue sneaked a glance at Tang Song next to her, observing his calm profile, and suddenly felt a sense of gain and loss in her heart.
“Tap tap tap—”
Their shoes tapped on the tile floor, the sounds strikingly in sync.
The heavy armored door opened, and they walked in one after the other, switching to slippers in the cloakroom.
“Um… I’ll go change in the cloakroom…” she whispered.
Tang Song smiled and nodded, “Go ahead, I’m not in a hurry.”
Hearing his gentle voice, Lin Muxue breathed a sigh of relief and turned towards the master bedroom.
She walked through the familiar corridor, pushed open the door, and stepped into the luxurious closet.
Lin Muxue’s fingers skimmed over each cherished piece of clothing, her eyes reflecting memories.
Everything here, she had saved up for over the years.
Some were even second-hand.
But under her meticulous care, they all looked quite new.
This had once been her most treasured “dignity” and “capital.”
Taking a deep breath, Lin Muxue’s gaze settled on a set of clothes hanging there.
A pink strappy dress with a white shawl.
She had bought it on sale from a Celine boutique two years ago, right after graduation, with the money she earned from her modeling job.
The outfit cost her about 10,000 yuan, and she was so excited that she had trouble falling asleep that night.
She was wearing this dress when she coincidentally met Tang Song at Flavor Pavilion.
That should have been their first meeting, but unfortunately, she didn’t remember it and hadn’t noticed him at the time.
With that thought, Lin Muxue pursed her lips.
Soon, the black evening gown came off; she didn’t bother changing the sweat-soaked undergarment and directly slipped into the Celine dress.
She looked at herself in the mirror, then took out her phone to compare with a photo.
Lin Muxue turned and went into the bathroom.
She took off her makeup, meticulously cleaned up, then re-applied it in the style of that day.
Afterward, she used a curling iron to create a similar hairstyle.
Only then did she smile with satisfaction.
…
On the living room sofa, Tang Song poured himself a glass of Macallan 12-year Sherry Oak.
The cool liquor slid through his mouth and down his throat, instantly dispelling the summer heat.
The mellow and smooth taste, with fresh fruity notes, left a lingering aftertaste.
Outside the window, the city lights twinkled like stars, in stark contrast to the tranquility inside.
Tang Song admired the nightscape for a while, then opened the system interface.
A faint halo appeared around the eyes of the 3D character model.
It indicated that [Passive Skill – Observer] was active.
He checked his personal information.
[Player: Tang Song (57 ‘Charm’)]
[Character: Songmei Clothing – CEO]
[Height: 182CM, Weight: 80KG]
[Constitution: 68.5 (68+0.5), Endurance: 68 (67+1), Agility: 64, Comprehension: 81]
[Asset Status:]
…
Due to the hot weather, he had worn [Outfit – Scorching Sun] today.
Because it wasn’t a perfect match for his clothes, it was only 50% effective.
Nevertheless, the accompanying cooling and ventilating effect was still quite significant.
At least he wouldn’t sweat too much.
Agility had increased to 64, and his Charm rating had finally risen again, reaching 57.
It couldn’t be denied that in this respect, Lin Muxue was of great help to him.
Just as the system had described in the [Whisper of Human Nature] instance.
[As an independent individual, Lin Muxue is a very typical female. She is self-driven, goal-oriented, confident, insecure, vain, and likes to show off…]
[By observing her choices and behaviors, you can better understand women, which helps you improve your EQ and handle problems between partners more effectively.]
The former him, although he had experienced first love and the thrill and romance of a beautician, didn’t really understand women.
But through constant contact, observation, and flirtation with Muxue, his awareness and emotional intelligence were steadily growing.
At least when dealing with a pretty rich girl, an older sister figure, and a beautician, he could handle things quite well.
Correspondingly, the scores for Charm would also reflect this.
“Tap tap tap—” The sound of slippers could be heard.
Tang Song closed the system interface and looked towards the end of the corridor.
He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Lin Muxue slowly walking out.
The image of her the first time he saw her at Flavor Pavilion flashed through his mind.
Strappy dress, stiletto heels, curvy body with long legs.
The Muxue now, with almost the same makeup, outfit, and hairstyle from that time, only lacked the high heels.
“Having a drink?” Lin Muxue sashayed over in a model’s walk, flipping her cascading hair, “How about I join you for a couple of drinks?”
Tang Song looked up at her, a big smile spreading across his face, “Have a seat, Xue.”
Lin Muxue hummed in acknowledgment, gracefully leaning over to sit next to him.
She crossed her legs, accentuating her attractive curves.
Tang Song picked up an empty glass from the coffee table and poured her a small glass of whiskey, “40-degree liquor, is that okay with you?”
“You underestimate me?” Lin Muxue’s eyes curved as she took the glass, first bringing it to her nose for a sniff, “It smells really nice.”
“Cheers!” Tang Song lifted his own glass towards her.
