After all, this guy used to call her Qingyan in a cheeky way... The sudden change in address to be so formal made her feel a little uncomfortable.

However, she didn't hesitate too much and readily agreed, "Okay, I will be on time, and please don't be late, Mr. Xu."

...

7 p.m., District 17, "Babylon" restaurant.

This is considered a landmark building in Night City. From the outside, it gives the impression that it is only a stone's throw away from the "Rust Fog," or even vaguely shrouded by it.

However, the diners inside didn't have this feeling. Looking through the specially treated floor-to-ceiling windows, all they could see was the unobstructed view of the City of Night Sin.

A slow-rotating system is also installed on the floor, allowing diners to enjoy a panoramic view of everything outside the window while dining.

This is also a favorite dining spot for the city's elite, but today it was booked out by Xu Shi, making it seem rather deserted.

Before long, Xie Qingyan arrived on time—a black floor-length dress paired with a silver-gray fur shawl, exuding an elegant and graceful aura while making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Upon seeing his long-lost fiancée, Xu Shi was momentarily stunned.

Wow, I knew she was pretty, but I never felt she had such charm before.

But upon closer reflection, it had actually been a long time since their last meeting... Thinking of this, he sighed silently, then stood up and smiled at the other person, "Long time no see."

His reaction surprised Xie Qingyan, who clearly hadn't expected him to be so serious.

Whether it's true or not, it's still the Xu Shi I remember.

So, after a quick glance, she chose to return the smile.

"Yeah, long time no see."
