I used to hope she would grow up quickly, and I couldn't wait to see how charming and beautiful my darling would be when she grew up.

But as he grew up, he became jealous. He hated the way people looked at her—those evil, filthy, greedy eyes. How could they be worthy of looking at his pure and beautiful darlings?

So this is what his precious Momo looks like now that she's grown up...

Mo Tingqi gulped down a mouthful of champagne to suppress the inexplicable emotions that were trying to burst forth, otherwise he might really make a series of mistakes and even fall into an abyss!

That's not what he wanted.

That's not what she wanted either...

Meanwhile, Mo Qing and Mo Yanyu walked onto the dance floor.

Her fair, jade-like, slender legs shimmered with a pearly hue under the light, instantly captivating Rao's attention. Then came a head of pure, fine black hair, below which was an exceptionally beautiful face. Her mesmerizing peach blossom eyes were dazzling, and even a slight blink seemed to steal Rao's soul. The seemingly inconspicuous black clothing she wore shone even brighter than the white she was dressed in.

More importantly, her male companion.

Her brother, dressed in a charcoal gray suit with a black shirt and dress shoes, without any unnecessary embellishments, was incredibly striking. The suit was very fitted, and his slender figure, combined with his dashing demeanor, made him a sight to behold—who wouldn't inwardly marvel at him as he led Mo Qing in?

Two equally outstanding people danced gracefully, and even watching them was a pleasure, especially their dance steps which were so perfectly in sync.

The song ended.

Wang Lina was Mo Qing's high school classmate, both from Qingpu High School, so she naturally recognized Mo Yanyu. Looking at the still handsome man in front of her, she knew that Mo Yanyu often visited Mo Qing at school back then.

So back then, everyone at their school knew that Mo Qing, the school beauty, had a brother who was very kind to her and also very handsome.

"Senior Mo," she called out respectfully, a flicker of infatuation in her eyes revealing a hint of adoration for Fu.

The clean-cut and handsome male god in my memory is still so good-looking, but compared to when we were in school, he has an added masculine charm that comes with time, making him even more captivating.

Back then, countless girls at school harbored budding feelings for him, and even she couldn't escape it...

Mo Yanyu looked at the girl whose name she didn't recognize, her eyes filled with doubt for two seconds, and realized that she had never seen this girl before.

Of course, Mo Yanyu still nodded politely to her, even though he had no idea who she was.

Everyone in the circle knows that Mo Qing is Mo Qing's beloved daughter. Mo Qing didn't live on campus when she was in high school, and she rarely participated in school activities besides studying, so she didn't know many people. To be honest, before going to university, Mo Qing lived like a princess, with Mo Yanyu and her parents doing everything for her.

Even back then, Mo Yanyu would pick me up from school.

However, the Mo family is very low-key. People can understand this, as they all know that Mo Qing's health has been poor at times.

Such a high-profile occasion hasn't happened for several years. What remains in everyone's memory is that eleven or twelve-year-old girl with a soft, sweet voice and a charming smile.

Looking at her now, she is still a princess. In terms of temperament, her demeanor as a lady from a prominent family is very pleasing to the eye. She is somewhere between pure and noble, like a graceful lady, yet she is also exceptionally intelligent and incredibly beautiful.

People could only sigh, "The Mo Qingmo couple really know how to raise their daughter; look how they've spoiled their precious darling!"

Calm and composed, with a graceful demeanor, Mo Qing smiled, revealing a dimple beneath her right lip. When she smiled genuinely, she was especially sweet and gentle.

Everyone could feel the sincerity of the girl's smile; that dazzlingly sweet smile could melt even the coldest heart. In this circle, such purity is hard to find.

For a fleeting second, Mo Qing seemed bewildered, yet her eyes shone brightly.

He stood tall and proud, his eyes gleaming with a light that defies description.

He smiled and looked at the girl who arrived late.

Ji Yao's smile deepened, and her glassy eyes became even more captivating, causing many people at the party to pause slightly in surprise.

This was the first time Mo Yanyu had ever seen Ji Yao so incredibly beautiful!

He wasn't the only one whose heart was deeply moved.

There were also many men at the party who were secretly infatuated with her. Although the collateral branches of the Ji family were not as large and powerful as the direct line of Ji Li, they were still very strong. More importantly, there were no more collateral branches of the Ji family in the capital.

But anything that could be linked to the Ji family was enough to move the people at the party.

The Ji family, that powerful family that has always been at the top of the pyramid.

Ji Li, the current head of the Ji family, has disappeared from the social circle since losing his son and daughter-in-law sixteen years ago.

If it weren't for the Ji family's increasingly prosperous business, they would hardly remember this matter. But Ji Yao's appearance is undoubtedly a reminder to everyone that the Ji family will always be the most formidable force in this circle.

Mo Yanyu keenly sensed a particularly intense gaze behind him, and even saw someone walking towards him, so he turned around.

She walked in gracefully, calmly, and without any panic. The way she wore those stiletto heels with such elegance was clearly the result of considerable effort.

Her beautiful and elegant temperament seems to be ingrained in her bones, requiring no deliberate gestures or affectations.

"Uncle Shen, as the entire Ji family is attending your family banquet, I may not be presenting enough. Please forgive me." Ji Yao presented a carefully selected gift.

Her confident and noble smile dazzled everyone, including him.
