After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved

Chapter 237: Chapter 237: A breathtaking dual chaotic scene

Lu Sheng was standing at a distance, diagonally behind, just out of Li Muchen’s line of sight.

So Li Muchen didn’t notice her, and from Lu Sheng’s angle, she couldn’t see the man’s expression either.

She could only see the man sitting upright in his chair, dressed in a dark grey shirt and black trousers. The high-quality pressed material outlined a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted figure.

Even from behind, there was a cold and abstinent aura, so dashing that one wouldn’t even need to see his face to be impressed, and sure enough, there were girls around excitedly taking sneaky photos.

This was probably the first time Lu Sheng had seen Li Muchen in such a private encounter with another woman.

But the next second, she saw Chen An standing behind Li Muchen, also dressed in a suit and without a seat to call his own. The diligent personal assistant stood solemnly behind his boss, holding a thick stack of white documents, as if attentively listening to the conversation between the two.

Li Muchen was the lover that Lu Sheng had chosen. _{𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚}

Whether human or demon, one would have a strong sense of possessiveness over their lover, perhaps feeling anger, jealousy, or suspicion upon seeing their lover with someone of the opposite sex.

However, the situation before her wasn’t enough to make Lu Sheng angry or jealous.

The busy café, the open conversation, and the presence of the assistant holding documents clearly indicated that the conversation was business-related.

Since it was Li Muchen’s work, Lu Sheng had no intention to disturb them. Even if she had something to ask, she could wait until they were alone.

Lu Sheng was about to find another place to sit when she inadvertently caught Chen An’s eye.

At first glance, upon seeing the figure of the girl standing not far away, Chen An thought he was seeing things.

Then, after a double-take, Chen An’s eyes suddenly widened.

Holy shit, it wasn’t a hallucination, it was indeed their Miss!

This this this...

Chen An first glanced at Lu Sheng and then subconsciously glanced at the woman sitting opposite Li Muchen, suddenly feeling as if he were caught in a cheating scene, his heart thrumming with guilty anxiety.

Although the woman opposite, Gu Siyu, was the sister of Mr. Gu of Beijing Shengda Real Estate, standing in for her brother at the business meeting, she was a woman after all.

Why would Miss just happen to come to this café, and just happen to see the boss talking face-to-face with another woman...

Could Miss misunderstand something about President Li?

Although they were discussing work, and as the assistant, Chen An should not interrupt Li Muchen’s conversation with someone else,

Chen An, who had always been by Li Muchen’s side, knew well that in Li Muchen’s heart, no business could be more important than Lu Sheng.

Thus, Chen An made a snap decision, stepped forward, bent down, and whispered in Li Muchen’s ear: "President Li, the Miss is behind us!"

After Chen An spoke, the tall man’s figure stiffened, and then he immediately turned his head.

The next second, their eyes met across a fraction of the lounge area.

In that moment, even though the man looked calm, Lu Sheng read a multitude of emotions in Li Muchen’s eyes.

Such as a flicker of involuntary surprise, and that trace of anxious concern that she might misunderstand something.

Meanwhile, the delicately made-up woman also followed Li Muchen’s gaze, turning to look at Lu Sheng.

Then, seemingly confused, she turned back to Li Muchen and asked softly, "...What’s wrong, President Li? Is that girl a friend of yours?"

"My apologies, Miss Gu," Li Muchen stood up abruptly, his voice devoid of any emotion, "Let’s leave it there for today."

"I have other matters, please excuse me."

Without a hint of hesitation, Li Muchen cut off the conversation, ready to leave; his mind was solely on the girl not far away.

Yet Gu Siyu, sitting opposite him, seemed quite surprised as she quickly stood up, almost reflexively reaching out to pull him back: "Wait, President Li, you’re just going to leave like this? What about our deal..."

Gu Siyu reached out to grab Li Muchen, but he reacted swiftly, frowning and stepping back.

Her hand didn’t even touch the cuff of his sleeve, left awkwardly hanging in the air.

Perhaps never having such an experience before, or never being treated this way by a man, Gu Siyu’s expression froze for a moment.

"..."

Li Muchen’s face darkened instantly.

He said coldly, "Miss Gu, if you have something to say, you can say it directly. Please don’t lay your hands on me."

"If Mr. Gu can’t make it, you could have notified me about the change in advance, not wait until I arrive to inform me."

"Cooperation should be based on mutual sincerity. I believe I’ve shown sincerity, but I haven’t felt Mr. Gu’s sincerity."

"If that’s the case, let’s talk about cooperation some other time."

Li Muchen’s tone was icy, not even wishing to say more.

While Gu Siyu seemed not to expect the deal to be called off just like that, wanting to explain, Li Muchen had no intention of hearing her out.

He looked up at Lu Sheng, ready to walk over to her, but his expression suddenly paused and the steps toward the girl also halted.

Because he saw, a strange man suddenly appeared from the back of the café, approaching the girl naturally and confidently.

Tall and straight, his legs as long as a model’s. His dark blonde hair and light green eyes, his profile almost impeccably handsome.

He held a packaged cup of coffee in his left hand and extended a transparently wrapped, beautifully ribboned small gift box to the girl with his right hand.

His movements were gentlemanly and graceful, his gaze focused on the girl, a tender smile on his face, "Shengsheng, this is for you."

"When ordering, I saw this Calming Incense with a lovely coffee aroma at the counter. It’s cute, just like you."

"I noticed you haven’t been sleeping well lately; I hope you have sweet dreams tonight."

Chen Shu spoke without waiting for a response, but he noticed that the girl wasn’t looking at what he was holding out, but was gazing towards the other side.

So, he followed her line of sight, his gaze falling on the tall figure a few meters away, seeming slightly puzzled.

Blinking, he retracted his gaze, and casually asked, "...What’s wrong, Shengsheng? Do you know that person?"
