Su Yu was momentarily lost in thought, his bewildered gaze slowly shifting from the jubilant crowd to Zhang's exceptionally beautiful face. He saw Leng Yuexi looking up at him with a beautiful smile, her willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes gradually curving into crescent shapes. This smile was truly captivating, like that of a fairy.
"Brother Yu, I've been waiting for you for so long! Have you missed me?" Leng Yuexi looked up at Su Yu, her lips slightly curved, a bright smile spreading across her beautiful face.
The gentle call of "Brother Yu" immediately caused the surrounding guests to reveal lecherous faces. They all involuntarily put down the beauties in their arms and turned their burning gazes toward Leng Yuexi.
Leng Yuexi glanced around the entire pavilion, but only Su Yu remained with a sullen face, not uttering a word to her.
Leng Yuexi had meticulously planned such a glamorous entrance to meet Su Yu today, but she never expected to be doused with cold water in public, without even a shred of decency.
Although Leng Yuexi was a courtesan, she did not want to lose face in public. After such a commotion, the reputation she had worked so hard to build would be ruined. She was even more unwilling to let her efforts to lure Su Yu over with the help of Yu Qianqian go to waste.
Even after being unexpectedly met with Su Yu's coldness, Leng Yuexi still desperately winked at him and called out sweetly, "Brother Yu, please say something! Don't always look so cold. It hurts my heart..."
Su Yu watched as the restaurant instantly became almost silent due to their mutual influence. In that instant, he had become the focus of everyone's attention. He felt that if the commotion continued, it would be very embarrassing for both Leng Yuexi and himself.
So, out of politeness, he forced a calm smile, subconsciously took a step back, bowed to Leng Yuexi, and said in a low voice, "Miss Leng, I have come here specifically to find my betrothed. She has been missing all night, and I am very worried about her, so please ask her to come out and see me."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him boldly guessed: "Who would have thought? This pretty boy looks so respectable on the surface, but he actually did such a beastly thing. He clearly has a wife at home, yet he still has the nerve to go out and pick up girls. You really can't judge a book by its cover!"
Leng Yuexi stood tall and proud in front of Su Yu, her meaningful gaze sweeping over the surroundings. She noticed the atmosphere was growing increasingly intense, but she laughed even more heartily.
"Brother Yu, that's a very strange question. Why are you coming to me instead of reporting your wife's disappearance to the authorities?"
"Besides, our Xingyue Tower is a place that attracts big business, not a shelter for the old, weak and disabled. If you are not here to spend money, then I'm sorry I cannot accompany you."
Leng Yuexi turned around and was about to leave Su Yu behind when a loud voice suddenly rang out from behind her as she walked away: "Miss Leng! Why don't you just tell me what you want from me before you'll let my wife go?"
Hearing the sound, Leng Yuexi slowly turned her head and saw the man standing close by, looking anxious and panting as he stared at her.
