Bern, a luxurious mansion.
Evening sunlight streamed through the stately curtains into this magnificent European-style mansion.
It was the home of high-ranking officials and members of parliament—a private dinner party filled with the atmosphere of Western aristocracy.
"Mr. Jing, Mrs. Jing, it's an honor to invite you both to our home for dinner."
Representative von and his wife, Michel von, who was around fifty years old, greeted the two with extremely warm smiles.
Jing Min, with his arm around Chu Wuyang, nodded slightly in polite response:
"Mr. Congressman, you flatter me. It is an honor to be invited to dinner with you."
Mrs. Michelle was even more enthusiastic, taking Chu Wuyang's hand in her hand, her voice soft yet alluring:
"Mrs. Jing, you must feel that this place is a bit too formal, right?"
"We politicians are always like this, too restrained in our actions, haha."
She smiled as she pointed to the lavish setting on the dining table.
"But tonight our whole family hopes you can relax and enjoy dinner."
After dinner,
The reception room maintained a formal and elegant atmosphere.
Jing Min and the high-ranking officials accompanying him continued discussing business details.
Chu Wuyang, sitting next to Jing Min, seemed somewhat impatient.
She slightly pursed her lips.
My gaze swept over the sofa beside me, and I felt a bit stifled by the formality of the occasion.
To pass the time
She got up, walked to the sofa area, and sat down.
He casually flipped through the magazine next to him.
Then, suddenly, she heard Jing Min's deep voice coming from the other side of the table:
"Bring these two desserts over."
Chu Wuyang turned her head.
She saw the maid bringing over two plates of desserts and placing them in front of her.
She recognized it by staring at the exquisite dessert in front of her.
One of the dishes was the one she had touched.
The rich chocolate was particularly sweet.
It wasn't a flavor she liked; she just took a small bite because she was bored and living nearby.
The other dish was a little further away from her at the time.
It features a black swan design with wings made of jet-black chocolate and a smooth dark chocolate mousse base.
Exquisite gold leaf decorations and refreshing berry accents,
It was so exquisite, like a work of art, that she took a second look.
However, she wasn't really into sweets.
Especially such overly sweet styles,
She sighed, her gaze still lingering on the plates of desserts, without moving.
However, Jingmin's voice came again:
"Get some more for your wife."
Chu Wuyang slightly raised his head.
She saw the maid respectfully carrying a plate over, on which were some exquisitely crafted desserts that she hadn't looked at closely.
At this moment, Chu Wuyang turned back to look at Jing Min.
He kept his head slightly bowed and continued talking with the high-ranking official.
Although their conversation continued, Jingmin's gaze kept sweeping towards her.
The high-ranking official, seeing this, showed a hint of surprise.
Clearly, no one expected that Jing Min would be so attentive to his wife's every little gesture while discussing business.
Although he didn't say anything, there was a hint of unease in his eyes.
“Mr. Jing, there has been great progress recently regarding our new energy project, which you may have heard about.”
The high-ranking official smiled and changed the subject.
"Our market has huge potential,"
"If we could cooperate with your company, it would not only bring you substantial profits,"
"It can also have a positive impact on Switzerland's local energy structure."
"This is a win-win collaboration,"
Jing Min nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the figure sitting on the sofa.
Chu Wuyang felt a little sleepy, so she lowered her head and rubbed her temples.
She didn't like these kinds of social gatherings.
The surrounding noise made her feel somewhat irritated.
She yawned quietly.
Seeing that Chu Wuyang was clearly tired, Jing Min gazed at her intently for a moment.
He turned to the high-ranking official and said politely but with an air of superiority:
“Mr. Congressman, I think perhaps we can continue discussing this project another time,”
"My wife is a little tired today and needs to rest."
The high-ranking official was slightly taken aback, then smiled knowingly.
But his eyes were full of regret and a desire for her to stay.
"Mr. Jing, I'm so sorry!"
"We also don't want to disturb Mrs. Jing's rest."
"It is truly an honor to have you in our humble abode today..."
"Mr. Jing, it's such a pity that you're leaving in such a hurry..."
Jing Min's attitude was gentle but firm; he nodded slightly and said,
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Congressman. We can discuss this further another time when you have more time."
"Today, as you said, my wife's health is the most important thing."
Upon seeing this, the high-ranking official felt extremely reluctant.
After all, Jingmin was a distinguished guest, and he was only visiting the area by chance.
It's not easy to invite someone like that; they're practically never seen before.
He glanced at his wife.
The high-ranking official's wife, Michelle, immediately understood her husband's meaning.
She glanced at Chu Wuyang, who was secretly yawning.
With a hint of gentleness on her face, she walked over and whispered:
"Mrs. Jing, you must be tired today."
"Why don't you come with me to rest for a while?"
"Don't worry, matters between men don't end easily,"
Chu Wuyang was somewhat stunned.
She instinctively wanted to turn around and see Jingmin's reaction.
But she found Jingmin looking at her gently, his eyes revealing a hint of reluctance and concern.
Her heart softened slightly.
In the end, he did not refuse again.
He nodded slightly and stood up.
