Brilliant fireworks burst in the sky, like blooming flowers, adorning the night sky with breathtaking beauty.
As soon as Li Yulin stepped into the banquet hall, he was startled by the sudden loud noise.
He couldn't help but frown.
He disliked these kinds of social gatherings and banquets, and he wouldn't have come at all if he hadn't heard that the president of CN Financial in Z country would be attending tonight.
His gaze swept casually across the banquet hall, but he only caught sight of some familiar faces from Kyoto.
boring.
He turned to leave.
"Mr. Li, why are you leaving so soon after you arrived?"
Zhao Chen, with his sharp eyes, saw that Li Yulin was about to leave and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"It's too stuffy in there," Li Yulin said in a flat tone, sounding somewhat impatient.
Zhao Chen smiled and said, "President Li, please stay a little longer. Ms. Chen Nuo, the president of CN Financial, just asked about the Li Group."
Li Yulin paused, somewhat unconvinced.
When asked about the Li family?
It's probably just some polite business talk.
“She’s watching the fireworks with Mr. Chen on the balcony right now,” Zhao Chen continued. “These fireworks were specially prepared by Mr. Chen for Miss Chen Nuo.”
Was it prepared on purpose?
Li Yulin was even more puzzled.
He followed Zhao Chen's gaze to the balcony, his eyes landing on that slender figure.
A black dress, an elegant posture...
A strange sense of familiarity welled up inside me.
He was suddenly stunned.
That figure, that silhouette...
It looks exactly like it...
She looks just like Su Su, who has been missing for three years!
His breathing suddenly became rapid, and his heart pounded violently.
The dazzling fireworks gradually faded, and the night sky returned to tranquility.
Li Susu let out a soft breath, a faint smile curving her lips.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you smile," Chen Ke said with a smile beside him. "Looks like tonight's fireworks show was well worth it."
Before Li Susu could respond, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind her.
"Su Su?"
The name struck her like a thunderclap.
She instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, and her heart clenched.
Standing not far away was a man, tall and straight, with obvious excitement and anticipation in his eyes.
When Li Yulin saw Li Susu's face, his eyes dimmed instantly.
This face, though still beautiful, is filled with a sense of unfamiliarity.
This was not the beautiful and charming younger sister he remembered.
But he still refused to give up, a glimmer of hope remaining in his heart.
Li Yulin strode forward, her gaze fixed on Li Susu's face, trying to find a familiar trace in her eyes.
"Susu, is that you?"
Chen Ke noticed something was wrong, his brows furrowed, and he silently stepped in front of Li Susu, protecting her behind him.
He eyed Li Yulin warily, his tone icy:
"Excuse me, sir, who are you?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Zhao Chen quickly stepped forward, breaking the suffocating silence.
"Mr. Li, this is Ms. Chen Nuo, the president of CN Financial."
As he spoke, he subtly pulled Li Yulin aside, trying to defuse the sudden awkwardness.
"President Chen, this is Mr. Li Yulin, the acting president of the Li Group."
Zhao Chen wore a professional smile and tried his best to make his tone sound natural and fluent.
Li Yulin, however, seemed not to have heard Zhao Chen's introduction, and continued to stare intently at Li Susu, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
"Chen Nuo..."
He repeated the name, his tone revealing a sense of loss he himself was unaware of.
