Just met you: This guy is a bit warm

Jiang Mingyu watched Song Haoxuan's name flash on his phone screen and pressed the answer button. Song Haoxuan's familiar, yet lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, but upon closer listening, he could detect a hint of seriousness in it: "Mingxi is back."

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Mingyu's body trembled slightly, but he did not change his sitting position. Only a ripple appeared in the depths of his originally calm pupils, as if touched by something.

However, despite his efforts to remain calm, the subtle fluctuations in his emotions could not be completely concealed.

Although Song Haoxuan couldn't see Jiang Mingyu's expression, as a childhood friend who grew up wearing the same pants, he knew what it meant from his silence.

So many years have passed, and every time Mingxi's name is mentioned, Jiang Mingyu always looks indifferent on the surface, but he always loses his temper inexplicably. He has mastered this skill of trying to cover up his mistakes to perfection.

"There is a welcoming banquet specially prepared for Mingxi at Star Domain International tonight. Do you want to attend?" Song Haoxuan asked tentatively, with a serious tone.

As a bystander, Song Haoxuan watched Jiang Mingyu and Mingxi go from being deeply in love to Mingxi leaving for another country. At the same time, he also witnessed the engagement ceremony of Jiang Mingyu and Su Ruonan.

In Song Haoxuan's eyes, Su Ruonan was undoubtedly an outstanding girl, much better than Mingxi. The purpose of Song Haoxuan's call today was actually to test whether his best friend still had any fantasies about Mingxi.

Since he had already said everything he needed to say, Song Haoxuan felt there was no need to continue talking, so he decisively hung up the phone.

Outside the window, the city lights twinkled like a dazzling array of stars, adorning the entire city like a dream. Skyscrapers towered over the skyline, their lights ablaze, as if it were a city that never sleeps. The streets were bustling with traffic, and the neon signs and streetlights shone together, creating a dazzling sea of light.

Jiang Mingyu walked to the window, his dark eyes staring at the night view of Beijing outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

Assistant Liu Yang had already left and didn't dare to go forward to disturb him. As a chosen worker, his intuition told him that the boss was unhappy and he should stay away from him.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Mingyu hurried away with the car keys in his hand.

Looking at his boss leaving, Liu Yang, who was completely ignored, knew that it was time for him to go home.

A private room in Star Domain International was packed with people. Mingxi's good friend Ye Silin had already told everyone in advance that Mingxi was going back to China, and this welcoming banquet was hosted by Ye Silin for Mingxi.

"Mingxi, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful." A girl dressed exquisitely sat down next to Mingxi.

Looking at the delicate face in front of him, Mingxi took some time to recognize the other person. He didn't expect that the ugly girl had turned into a white swan.

Mingxi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Thank you for the compliment, you are becoming more and more beautiful. I almost didn't recognize you just now."

After saying this, the girl's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Even with her thick foundation, it was difficult to cover up the paleness of her face. At this moment, the girl looked very embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly found an excuse and turned away.

Mingxi curled her lips indifferently and continued chatting with the people around her, but her eyes kept staring at the door of the box from time to time.

The people present had been in the wealthy circle for many years, and they all knew about the incident between Mingxi and Jiang Mingyu, the only son of the Jiang family. It was a very sensational incident, and it was hard not to know about it.

Look, she is waiting for Jiang Mingyu.

"Why hasn't Jiang Mingyu come yet?" Some drunk young man shouted.

Everyone in the box had their own thoughts, wondering whether Jiang Mingyu would come tonight. Several young masters even made a private bet on this.

Speak of the devil, and here he comes. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mingyu pushed the door open and walked in.

Jiang Mingyu's arrival made some people happy and some worried. After losing millions in gambling, it would be strange if they weren't worried. The winners were naturally overjoyed and drank a few more sips of wine.

Mingxi's eyes have been glued to Jiang Mingyu since he entered the room. Only the liquid in the wine glass in her hand was shaking slightly, betraying her nervousness.

Yes, Mingxi was very nervous. Although she had asked Ye Silin to spread the news of her return, she was not sure whether Jiang Mingyu would come to the welcoming party tonight. Fortunately, he came. Does it mean that he still has feelings for her?

Jiang Mingyu walked straight to Song Haoxuan and sat down to drink.

Seeing that Jiang Mingyu didn't even say hello to her, Mingxi almost lost the smile on her face.

Is he still angry with himself? But she had no choice but to leave, so why couldn't he forgive himself?

Ye Silin, who had been observing all this, saw this and smiled at Jiang Mingyu, who was drinking alone. "Brother Mingyu, today is Mingxi's welcoming party. You're here, why don't you say hello to her?"

Ye Silin's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the box to hear clearly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the box looked at the couple at once. There was nothing they could do about it; people are gossipy and love to watch the fun.

Song Haoxuan also looked at his friend beside him with an expression of wanting to watch the fun.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Mingyu walked up to Mingxi with the wine glass in his hand and raised the glass in his hand: "Congratulations on returning home." After that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Without lingering on Mingxi for long, he turned and left.

Mingxi seemed a little unwilling to accept it, but under so many people's gazes, she didn't dare to show her emotions. Her eyes were gleaming with crystal tears, as if they could fall at any moment.

Mingxi has a pure and lovely face. Although her facial features are not particularly stunning, she has a unique charm. In addition, she is good at dressing herself up and always dresses appropriately and elegantly, giving people the impression that she is a gentle and graceful woman who needs to be protected.

At this moment, tears in her eyes made her look even more pitiful and aroused people's pity.

There was a rich second-generation man who couldn't stand seeing a woman cry, and couldn't help but grumble quietly: "Jiang Mingyu is too heartless, look, he even made a beautiful woman cry."

"I'm going out to smoke a cigarette," Jiang Mingyu put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Song Haoxuan, then turned and left the box.

Seeing this, Mingxi also said to Ye Silin: "I'm going to the bathroom."
