Chapter 399: 399 Mysterious Man (First Update)

It wasn’t by accident that I met Chu Jin here at the right time.

These past few days had been especially frustrating for Zheng Chuyi. For some reason, Chu Jin hadn’t shown her face for over ten days, her whereabouts unknown. At home, there was now Shangguan Xiaoxiao, who opposed her at every turn.

Jiang Mubai didn’t care about her as much as he used to.

Mo Zhixuan was even more indifferent to her. She had thought that after leaving the Mo family that day, the Mo family’s matriarch would find the clothes she left behind in the cabinet, be moved by the reminder, and feel guilty. She hoped she would then suggest Chuyi’s return to the Mo family.

After all, an extremely vital night was approaching, and it was assumed that even Mo Feixue’s appearance wouldn’t soften the matriarch’s stance.

It seemed that her only option was to start with Chu Jin.

The Mo family was a place she must return to.

With this in mind, a smile deepened at the corner of Zheng Chuyi’s lips, "Miss Chu, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. How about we find a place to catch up?"

"I’m sorry," Chu Jin replied with a slight curve of her lips, gently brushing away Zheng Chuyi’s hand, "I have things to do, so I won’t keep you company."

She had never had much fondness for Zheng Chuyi, and she wasn’t in the mood to engage with her now.

The smile at the corner of Zheng Chuyi’s mouth stiffened for a moment but quickly returned to its natural state, "Alright then, make sure to send my regards to Aunt Mo and Qingqing."

Chu Jin nodded lightly, "Certainly." Having said that, she strode away from the tea house.

Watching her departure, Zheng Chuyi’s eyes narrowed slightly with a dark glint flickering in their depths.

Just as Chu Jin stepped out of the door, a tall and slender figure emerged from the staircase.

He was dressed in a long black trench coat, and a hat sat low on his head, casting a shadow over his face that hid his brows and eyes. All that could be seen were his well-defined and gaunt jaw and perfect lips.

Mysterious and powerful—those were the first impressions Zheng Chuyi had of him.

Though his true face was hidden, just the exquisite perfection of his jawline was enough to reveal that beneath the hat was surely a face of extraordinary craftsmanship.

He walked against the light, with each step stirring a chilling breeze, exuding an imposing aura, surrounded by a glow reminiscent of snowflakes, that sent shivers down one’s spine.

Like a black Higanbana, wherever he went, he brought with him an air of oppression, making it difficult to breathe.

Even Zheng Chuyi, a person endowed with special abilities, had beads of sweat form on her forehead.

This was definitely no ordinary man—this was Chuyi’s second impression of him.

A beautiful woman, upon seeing an outstanding man, always feels a surge of conquest within her.

What one cannot have, forever stirs restless desire.

Everyone likes to be held in high regard.

Zheng Chuyi was no exception, and more so because she was not just ordinarily beautiful.

She was the most beautiful woman of the Superpower World, unmatched in all three worlds.

Even Nie Qingzi from the Ancient Martial Arts World could not compare to her.

She loved red, not because it suited her, but because it was the most eye-catching and brilliant of colors.

Wherever she was, eyes would always be drawn to her first.

Moreover, her face was even more dazzling than red, relegating the color to merely a backdrop.

Zheng Chuyi always had a deep understanding of herself.

She knew her strengths.

Watching the mysterious man approach, Zheng Chuyi casually ran her fingers through her hair, then turned and walked in another direction. In the moment of turning, a red object fell from her.

It landed on the ground, emitting a dazzling red light.

Based on past experiences, the man would pick up the object and call out to her, then drown in her beauty, unable to extricate himself, resolved to marry no one but her.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Zheng Chuyi frowned slightly; there was no expected call. Had he not seen the item that fell to the ground? Her lips curled into a smile as she glanced back—

And that gentle curve froze on her lips.

The man in black simply stepped on the red earring, his figure exuding a cold and harsh aura.

His action trampled not just the object but her dignity as well.

The man in black disappeared from view quickly, and the earring, which had shone so brilliantly, now lay quietly on the ground, like a star that suddenly lost its light, dim and indistinct.

This man was indeed different from others she had encountered in the past.

Zheng Chuyi’s frown deepened, now filled with curiosity and a desire to conquer regarding the man in black. Suddenly, a breeze brought a whiff of fragrance. She sniffed lightly; the scent was of orchids, plums, and bamboo, lingering at the tip of her nose, accompanied by a unique coolness.

This fragrance was exactly like the one she had just smelled on Chu Jin. How could this man have the same scent on him?

If they were not intimate with one another, how could one’s scent cling to another?

Could it be...

Zheng Chuyi’s lips curved into a smirk, and she turned towards the bar area of the tea house. She was determined to find out what all of this was about!

What was the relation between the man in black and Chu Jin?

Why did they both appear here at the same time?

And furthermore, they left the tea house one after another. Were they avoiding suspicion?
