Xie Tuoyu knew he was good-looking, but was it really okay for this person to stare at him like that?
Even the most particular men wouldn't dress up in an elaborate way.
This person was clearly different; Xie Tuoyu saw that there was not a single flaw in him, from his hair to his fingertips.
Given the sweltering heat, wearing a three-piece suit shows just how meticulous one is in their lifestyle.
Among men, there is only one type who enjoys grooming themselves so much.
Xie Tuoyu knew it was impolite to ask such a question, but he couldn't help it anyway.
Are you gay?
Yi Mu paused for a moment, then icy water seeped through his fingers, making him feel a little cold.
Xie Tuoyu was a master at concealing his emotions, but Yi Mu clearly saw a probing look in his eyes.
He calmly put down the bottled water, grabbed the tissues from the table, and took two.
Xie Tuoyu's gaze was fixed on Yi Mu's outstretched, rootless fingers.
His palms, the backs of his hands, and even the spaces between his fingers were all wet.
With a clean white tissue, Yi Mu gently wiped away the damp stains from her fingertips down to between her fingers.
The room had clearly cooled down, but Xie Tuoyu stared at that slender, white hand with protruding knuckles, feeling parched and as if a fire was burning inside him.
"Mr. Xie, do you know how to write the word 'abrupt'?"
Yi Mu tossed the crumpled tissue aside, his sharp eyes behind his glasses shooting towards Xie Tuoyu.
For a moment, Xie Tuoyu thought he was going to get beaten up by Yi Mu.
But he didn't; he was restraining himself, his hands tightly clenched.
Clearly, he was angry, very angry.
Xie Tuoyu was unaware that Yi Mu felt more disappointed than angry.
He had idealized Xie Tuoyu too much in his mind; he shouldn't be such a frivolous person.
Xie Tuoyu didn't get an answer, which was a bit of a disappointment.
He made a gesture of surrender and smiled at Yi Mu: "I apologize for my intrusion; I don't even know your name."
Looking at his serious face, Yi Mu suddenly had a mischievous idea.
He stared at Xie Tuoyu with a deep expression, his eyes cold and his face expressionless.
Xie Tuoyu's smile vanished instantly, and he felt a chill run down his spine, almost suspecting that Yi Mu had ulterior motives.
Seeing his expression change, Yi Mu felt a surge of satisfaction and asked leisurely, "I wonder if President Xie knows about the Yi family in S City?"
This statement contained a lot of information. Xie Tuoyu didn't know who Yi Mu was, yet he saw through his identity at a glance.
Xie Tuoyu shed his naive facade and revealed the demeanor befitting a CEO of a listed company.
Although he was still wearing that worn-out shirt, the moment his expression changed and he straightened his back, he seemed completely different.
"May I ask who you are?"
Yi Mu leaned back in his chair, making a wooden chair that cost a few dozen yuan in the furniture store feel like a genuine leather chair worth tens of thousands of yuan.
"Yi Mu, the third son of the Yi family, I heard you're getting quite close to our eldest son?"
Xie Tuoyu simply couldn't reconcile the young man before him with the pot-bellied eldest son of the Yi family.
Although Yi Mu had a strong air of pretentiousness about him, Xie Tuoyu, who hadn't read many books, couldn't quite describe the aura he possessed.
In short, Yi Mu is like a proper young nobleman, while his older brother's physique makes him look even more like a nouveau riche than Xie Tuoyu.
Xie Tuoyu has a business relationship with the eldest son of the Yi family.
To be precise, he now mainly relies on the connections of the eldest son of the Yi family, and he has to curry favor with him.
I'd heard long ago that the Yi brothers didn't get along; they were only brothers in name, but secretly they were fighting fiercely.
Xie Tuoyu just watched and laughed at what the brothers were going through.
If they were to actually meet, given his status, he would have to lower his stance and fawn over either of them.
"So it's the Third Young Master. Look at me, I didn't recognize your greatness. I really deserve a beating."
Xie Tuoyu's business acumen made him immediately put on a smiling face.
Yi Mu knew, however, how much meticulous calculation and scheming lay hidden behind that smiling face.
He suddenly became interested and wanted to see how long this man, whose bones concealed an indomitable and strong nature, could remain subservient in front of him.
