The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 675 - Chapter 675 Chapter 675 Just Wait and Watch the Drama

Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Just Wait and Watch the Drama Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Just Wait and Watch the Drama With that “Come in,” Lu Mian toed the door open, still holding milk in her mouth as she sauntered in, devil-may-care.

Passing through several elegant screens, the girl with a ruffian air appeared before everyone.

In the dining room, on both sides, stood quite a few people.

The tense atmosphere of the serious reporting time had ended, and now the ambiance was much more relaxed.

Catching sight of Lu Mian entering, everyone instinctively sized her up and then looked toward the head of the table.

Lu Mian lazily lifted her lashes and looked over as well.

At the same time, the man at the head of the table accepted a document and casually looked up.

Their eyes met.

In that instant, two pairs of deep, dark, vast, and turbulent eyes were shocked, then suddenly burst into a myriad of sparks.

Silence.

An extended silence.

The headstrong and flamboyant girl stood rooted to the spot.

She had confirmed it countless times; it was him.

The elegant and refined man’s fingers, holding the documents, suddenly tensed.

He had observed countless times; it was her.

Separated by a three-meter-long dining table, the two of them just quietly faced each other.

All the men present were of the rougher sort and failed to notice this subtle emotional change between the two.

The man in sunglasses recognized Lu Mian and curiously asked, “Eh, it’s you?

Did you make tonight’s supper?”

“Mr.

Qimo, she is…”

Ke Weimin also intended to explain, but Wa Zhiqi quickly stopped him.

“Shh, don’t speak, no need to explain anything!”

“Wa Team, what do you mean?”

“It means we’re here to watch the drama unfold!” Wa Zhiqi said, totally unfazed.

“Whose drama are we watching?”

Wa Zhiqi winked, “Of course, it’s theirs!”

The teammates around were confused and didn’t quite understand, but they didn’t continue the conversation.

aEUR”aEUR”

This was the 99th time Lu Mian regretted stepping into this dining room.

Not for a moment had she felt so…

embarrassed, guilty, at a loss, wanting to flee.

Xiao Qimo felt the same.

Yet both of them were the type who wouldn’t easily reveal their emotions, so even though their hearts were turbulent, the surface showed only the tip of the iceberg, making them difficult to fathom.

The onlookers, sensing that something was amiss, whispered to Wa Zhiqi in very low voices.

“Wa Team, what kind of drama is this?

It looks like they’re about to fight…”

“Pah, which eye of yours sees a fight coming?”

They call this ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’!

However, this atmosphere is indeed a bit awkward…

The surrounding teammates were at a loss for words, unanimously feeling that Wa Zhiqi was a bit slow tonight.

After probably two full minutes of silence, it was finally broken by Wa Zhiqi’s mood-lightening “surprise.”

Lu Mian took a deep gulp of milk, the straw making a gurgling sound; her milk had run out without her realizing.

The girl smiled coolly, her tongue lightly licking the milk on her lips, and she placed the milk carton down with her hands folded across her chest.

“You’re in Jinjing for a meeting?” She spoke her first words.

The pupil of the man across from her contracted, a hint of amusement in his half-squinted eyes.

“You’re in Wucheng for class?” He countered.

Sparks flew!

A haze of gunpowder filled the air!

One claimed she was back in Wucheng for class and dutifully reported her itinerary.

The other claimed he was in Jinjing for a meeting and was too busy to death to answer calls.

And the resultaEUR”

The two met in this far-flung Shencheng.

The lies they once spewed were thus brutally exposed to each other.

Indeed, there was an impulse to start a fight.

Wa Zhiqi finally gave Lu Mian a light tap, still muttering to himself that these two seemed to be staring dumbfounded, it couldn’t be that exciting.

He whispered encouragement to Lu Mian, “Go over there, isn’t that what you came here for, to find Mr.

Qimo?”

Lu Mian’s gaze swept across him thoughtfully.

Wa Zhiqi didn’t notice and blurted out a few more words, “Mr.

Qimo, the young lady specifically asked me to bring her over, and it hasn’t been easy for her.”

Oh, so that was it.

Xiao Qimo’s eyes were unreadable.

Wa Zhiqi, who had been dutifully playing the supportive role, suddenly broke into a nervous sweat, realizing something was off.

It seemed like the mood between Mr.

Mo and Lu Mian wasn’t quite rightaEUR|

What was going on?

Before he could ponder any longer, Xiao Qimo stood up from his seat.

The man smoothed out the slight wrinkles on his shirt.

As elegant and noble as he was, even a simple movement was pleasing to the eye.

It felt as though a century had passed before he finally, in slow motion, straightened his clothes.

The man tilted his head slightly and, with his arms opening, spoke warmly to the girl opposite him.

“Come here, give me a hug.”

The girl’s heart skipped a beat.

Just those four simple words fiercely seized her lifeline, shattering all of her rebellious, resistant, cold, and sharp emotions.

The long legs encased in black tight pants stepped forward with composure, walking right up to Xiao Qimo and pausing slightly.

Before she could compose herself, Lu Mian’s body was eagerly pulled into an embrace.

Xiao Qimo’s arms closed around the person he had longed for day and night, holding her tightly in his embrace, while Lu Mian slowly raised her hands to circle his waist in response to the man.

Xiao Qimo’s arms tightened even more, and the low pressure that had lasted for two days was swept away at that moment, replaced by joy and satisfaction.

Many things didn’t need to be explained, as both understood each other.

Keeping each other in the dark, they had shown up at the office for no other reason than to investigate the missing case.

Lu Mian still remembered the time when they had exchanged secrets in the greenhouse on the farm, and by a strange coincidence, they had written down the same wish.

At their core, they were the same kind of person.

After the initial awkwardness and shock, all that remained was an overwhelming and intense longing.

Around them, there was a collective intake of breath from the audience.

What kind of scene was this?

How had Mr.

Qimo ended up embracing the little cook?

The crowd urgently sought answers from Wa Zhiqi, who, with a nod and a shake of his head, smiled contentedly.

Right, this was the proper way for a couple to interact.

He led the applause, and others followed suit.

What started as a sporadic clapping soon turned into a synchronized, enthusiastic applause.

Lu Mian: aEUR|

Xiao Qimo: aEUR|

These people are so annoying, so intrusive.

He held the girl in his arms and swept his gaze over the circle of onlookers.

“All personnel, listen to my command,” the man’s voice was icy.

“Present!”

Xiao Qimo’s tone was firm, “Stay quiet, turn around.”

“Yes, sir!”

The unanimous response came, and everyone present, including Mo Fan and Daine, turned their backs.

Only then did Xiao Qimo feel at ease, lowering his gaze to the girl before him, unwilling to miss a single strand of hair, every inch of her skin.

Longing like the sea.

Once it surged, it was a tidal wave.

With one hand cupping the back of the girl’s head and the other gently pinching her chin, he kissed her soft pink lips without hesitation, leaving his own deep kiss.

The scorching heat instantly ignited the fire in both their hearts.

The flames spread, burning every cell in their bodies.

The crowd with backs turned: aEUR|

Even though they couldn’t see, they could hear it!

Was this the infamous “Public Display of Affection” that struck fear in everyone’s hearts?!
