Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Lin Tao's steps carried an unspoken familiarity as he leisurely strode towards Beichen, a smile that was uniquely his, both charming and somewhat sinister. At first glance, this smile felt as warm as a spring breeze, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to conceal the chill of the abyss, inspiring awe and making it difficult to fathom its true intentions.

"Mr. Bei, long time no see!" Lin Tao's words were filled with the cordiality of old friends reuniting. He gently raised the wine glass in his hand and it touched Beichen's lightly, making a crisp and pleasant sound, which seemed to add a sense of ritual to this subtle reunion.

"With you, I won't feel any regret even if I never see you again." Beichen heard this, his expression remained stern, a barely perceptible ripple flashed in his eyes, and his voice was low and resolute.

Lin Tao's lips curled up into a playful smile, and he shook his head lightly, his tone carrying a hint of joking, "Look at you, why are you so serious? It's just an insignificant mudflat. If you really like it, let alone 20 billion, I can just give it to you for free. What's the harm?"

"Oh? Really?" Beichen also had a sly smile on his face.

"Of course!" Lin Tao said carelessly.

"In that case, thank you very much!" Beichen smiled even more brightly. He spread his palms and pretended to accept a gift. "When are we going to handle the property transfer?"

Lin Tao blinked in feigned surprise, then patted the back of Beichen's hand and said in a feigned scolding, "You don't understand polite words, why do you really want it?"

After saying this, he leisurely raised his wine glass and took a sip.

"I thought Mr. Gu was really so generous, but now it seems he is just so-so!" Beichen followed suit, lightly touching the rim of the cup to his lips and taking a sip as well, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"It's just polite talk. Everyone, just take it as a gesture. Why do you take it so seriously?" Lin Tao looked at Hong Dancheng and saw that Hong Dancheng was talking on his cell phone. He then leaned close to Beichen's ear and said in a low voice, "Who do you think Chairman Hong is calling right now?"

Upon hearing this, Beichen involuntarily looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes meeting Hong Dancheng's, and a subtle electrical current seemed to linger in the air. In this coincidental moment, Hong Dancheng's eyes flickered with confusion, while Beichen's eyes were filled with a deep sense of doubt, and the atmosphere between them grew inexplicably tense.

Lin Tao still maintained that cynical smile, his words tinged with frivolity, "Ms. Momo, you are truly a stunning beauty. Especially the scent of her perfume, it's intoxicating."

As soon as these words came out, Beichen's face suddenly changed, and he was furious. He suddenly grabbed Lin Tao's collar and said, "I'm warning you, stay away from Momo!"

Lin Tao, however, didn't seem to take Beichen's anger to heart. He smiled gently and gracefully brushed Beichen's hand away, "It's probably inappropriate to get angry here!"

Some people in the hall had already noticed the commotion here, especially Tian Zhenyuan and the others, who seemed to want to come over.

Beichen glanced around briefly and slowly loosened Lin Tao's collar. Lin Tao's face showed no trace of anger, but he gently smoothed the wrinkles on his collar with an almost elegant gesture.

"I heard that your Beiming Group is planning to acquire the piece of land in Nanshan? What a coincidence, I'm interested in it too!" Lin Tao said lightly.

Beichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a complex arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was forbearing, or even considering something. He asked in a deep voice, "What is Mr. Lin's intention in doing this?"

"I don't want to do anything. The purpose of coming here from Siam is to make money. Everyone wants to do good projects, and Fanjiang is only this big a piece, so it depends on your ability." Lin Tao patted Beichen's shoulder gently, "When I was in Tibet, Miss Momo and I got along quite well. I am a narrow-minded person, and I can't stand seeing the woman I admire getting too close to others. What should I do?" Lin Tao's hand stopped on Beichen's shoulder and looked into his eyes and said.

Beichen tilted his head slightly, his gaze indifferently falling on the slightly awkward hand on his shoulder, his tone carrying a barely perceptible chill, "Your hand has crossed the line."

"Oh!" Lin Tao's face flashed with embarrassment when he heard that, and then he quickly and naturally withdrew his hand. His eyes inadvertently swept across his palm, and he laughed at himself, "Sometimes I find my hand very annoying. It always likes to hook here and there. Forget it! It's mine after all. You can dislike it if you want! But you~" Lin Tao paused, looked up and down at Beichen, "It looks okay, but there's nothing good in it." Lin Tao pointed to his head and said with a smile.

Beichen looked at him without saying a word, but the expression on his face betrayed his inner thoughts.

Just at this moment, Hong Momo walked into the venue as light as an elf under the moon. Her appearance seemed to instantly brighten up all the darkness around her.

Lin Tao gave a heartfelt sigh of admiration at the right moment, his voice a mixture of teasing and sincerity: "Oh, Miss Momo tonight is simply the epitome of beauty. Compared to the past, she has added a touch of indescribable charm and seduction. It's hard to take your eyes off her."

After saying this, he smiled slyly, his eyes swept over Beichen, and the wine glass in his hand swayed slightly. Then, he took a step forward without hesitation, rushing towards Hong Momo before Beichen could.

Beichen's hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the wine glass, his fingertips turning slightly white due to the force, revealing the complex emotions that were difficult to suppress deep in his heart - it was a storm mixed with jealousy, unwillingness and helplessness, surging in his chest, almost breaking through his apparent calmness and restraint.

Tonight, Hong Momo wore a lavender dress embroidered with delicate flowers, each one as radiant as her smile. A pearl necklace, as smooth as jade, swayed gently around her neck, complementing the delicate whiteness of her skin and adding a touch of untouched nobility and refinement.

"Ms. Momo, long time no see!" Lin Tao took the initiative to greet Hong Momo.

When Hong Momo heard this, a hint of subtle shyness and restraint flashed across her face, and then she responded with a gentle smile.

"Were you discussing cooperation just now?" Hong Momo asked in a low voice.

Lin Tao turned around and looked at Beichen, raising his glass towards him provocatively. On the surface, it looked like he was greeting his good friend, but in fact, he was demonstrating to Beichen.

"Oh, after all, I'm just a profit-seeking businessman. Chasing profit is in my nature." Lin Tao turned around and said to Hong Momo with a smile.

Hearing this, Hong Momo's eyes flashed with gratitude. She quickly picked up her wine glass and gently clinked it with Lin Tao's. The crisp sound echoed in the air. She smiled gently and spoke with sincerity, "Thank you so much, Mr. Gu."

Lin Tao took a sip of his wine, his demeanor revealing a gentle elegance. He slowly glanced around, his gaze finally settling gently on Hong Momo. He leaned forward slightly, inadvertently closing the distance between them. "I'd also like to buy that piece of land in Nanshan. Your fiancé seems interested, too. I've booked a private room upstairs. After the banquet, you two can come over. Together, our two families will easily acquire it."

Hong Momo heard this and a brilliant smile blossomed on her face. For a long time, she had felt guilty for not being able to directly help Beichen. Now, she naively thought that by relying on her own efforts to connect with Mr. Gu, she had more or less helped Beichen.

"Really?" A flower almost bloomed on Hong Momo's face, but this expression was seen as a great mockery by Beichen.

"Of course!" Lin Tao said with feigned happiness, "It is an honor for me, Gu, to be recognized by Miss Hong!"

"Mr. Gu, you're too polite. I'll go tell Beichen the good news right away." Hong Momo said as she was about to leave, but Lin Tao didn't seem to intend to end their conversation just like that.

"Ms. Hong!"

A hint of confusion flashed across Hong Momo's eyes. She slowly turned around, her gaze set on Lin Tao. A gentle smile played on the corner of Lin Tao's mouth, and he gently took a step towards her. His movements were gentle and natural, his fingertips lightly brushing across Hong Momo's shoulder, silently removing a strand of hair dancing in the wind, and whispered, "A hair has fallen."

Hong Momo was slightly stunned, her expression a little stiff. She nodded almost imperceptibly, then turned sideways lightly, walked around Lin Tao gracefully like a deer in the woods, and walked slowly towards Beichen.

This scene between the two of them was seen by many people. Some were curious, some were confused, some were suspicious, and most of them were just watching the fun.
