The woman in the white evening dress was breathing rapidly, her prominent chest rising and falling dramatically, as if about to burst the dress open. It had to be said, she had quite the temper, and almost threw the limited edition, exquisite handbag in her hand.

"Wu Yin!" Someone beside her held her arm, quietly trying to console her.

Wang Xuan stood there rather handsomely, relaxed, with a calm expression and clear eyes, naturally looking at the group. He was peaceful and composed, with no emotional fluctuations.

The young woman in the white evening dress, named Wu Yin, saw him so calm and took a deep breath to cool her anger.

"Since your fate is over, you shouldn't pester him anymore. The sky is so vast, you should both spread your wings and fly away, leaving each other with beautiful silhouettes and enough space, which is better than anything!" Wu Yin said.

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "You're too caught up in the drama, immersed in your own emotional world, imagining how bad I am. Stop adding scenes for yourself. I'm just passing by; someone invited me to dinner."

Wu Yin's emotions, which had just calmed down, flared up again, her breathing becoming heavier, and her face flushing slightly, not from shyness, but because she really had a temper. No one had ever evaluated her like this before. Did he mean she had mental problems by even suggesting she was imagining things?

Wang Xuan hadn't noticed it at first, but now he couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. This woman seemed to be quite well-endowed; the evening dress looked like it was about to burst with her heavy breathing.

Objectively speaking, this woman named Wu Yin had a beautiful face, especially her figure was strikingly curvy. Although her mouth was annoying, she was indeed a beauty.

Wu Yin couldn't bear it any longer, her gaze sharp, and said, "I've never seen a man like you. It's already over between you two, what's the point of you coming here? I don't believe a recent graduate like you would come to the top floor of Cangding Tower just for a meal. You must have heard the news and rushed over here. Don't bother embarrassing yourself!"

Wang Xuan originally wanted to turn around and leave, but he had just left campus after all, and his edges hadn't been smoothed out yet; he was still a young man.

Although he wasn't angry, the smile on his face disappeared.

"With such a fiery temper, you must have some health problems. Have you been suffering from insomnia and anxiety lately? Although you're very angry now, your face is only slightly red and then turns pale, clearly indicating some anemia. In addition, your mental fluctuations are severe, and you obviously have something unsettling in your heart. It seems like you have problems with both your mind and body and need to recuperate, otherwise your temper will only get worse. No need to thank me or be surprised; I'm someone who deeply studies the Old Arts and is good at health preservation. Also, you seem to have a faint smell of blood on you, meaning you got into a fight and were injured. Well… goodbye!"

Saying this, Wang Xuan quickly stopped, no longer giving her a pathological analysis, because he seemed to have discovered something. He accidentally said it in the end, and he figured this woman was about to explode.

Sure enough, Wu Yin was initially stunned, uncertain and suspicious, because she had indeed been experiencing those problems recently, but she couldn't bear it when she heard the end. She directly picked up the limited edition handbag in her hand and threw it at Wang Xuan, full of shame, anger, and resentment, saying, "You scoundrel!"

Beside her, Zhou Ting was speechless. This Wang Xuan not only had amazing attainments in the Old Arts, but his mouth was also so sharp, almost causing her best friend Wu Yin to explode.

Zhou Ting felt that she couldn't stand it either. The most embarrassing days of a woman's life were actually discovered by someone, who then commented on them as if they were a pathology, which was indeed infuriating.

She quickly grabbed Wu Yin's arm, reminding her that today was a special day and they couldn't cause a scene here.

Wang Xuan swore he didn't mean to. At first, he was just commenting based on her irritability and pale complexion, who knew it would be such an accurate assessment.

"Wang Xuan, stop talking and leave quickly," another woman said, feeling it was better to send this rather handsome man away as soon as possible, otherwise, something might happen.

Actually, without their persuasion, Wang Xuan didn't want to stay here any longer either, so he turned and left.

"Don't go!" Wu Yin said unhappily, struggling away from Zhou Ting. It could be seen that she was quite skilled, with some foundation in the Old Arts. Most importantly, a faint blue mist was emanating from her snow-white arms, indicating she was someone who had cultivated the Super Arts!

At this stage, any young person who had cultivated the Super Arts had a non-simple background.

Wang Xuan stopped and glanced at her, saying, "Don't attack me. Once my body's instincts determine you're an enemy and a threat to my life, I'll hit you even if you're a woman."

He naturally wouldn't fight here, he was just scaring her. Saying this, he also glanced at Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting pursed her lips slightly. This damned Wang Xuan wasn't acknowledging her friendship, forcing her to persuade her best friend and even mention her brother's matter.

"Sister Wu Yin, don't fight with him. My brother… was injured by him," Zhou Ting whispered to persuade her.

Thinking of her brother Zhou Yun, she was somewhat speechless. He had been carried back today. It was said that her brother no longer hated Wang Xuan, feeling that he was very upright and didn't hit him too hard even after winning. Now, her brother particularly hated a mixed-race man, and had been talking about him non-stop for the past half-day.

In fact, in a seven-star hotel, Zhou Yun was still yelling: "That blue-eyed mixed-race guy, I'll break your bones sooner or later, and make you repay me tenfold. Don't let me see you again!"

At the top of Cangding Tower, Wu Yin's body stiffened slightly. She was really afraid of encountering a "brute" who would beat her up without saying a word, which would be embarrassing, as she didn't have any robots or bodyguards with her right now.

At this time, Wang Xuan's university classmate, Liu Yun, stepped forward and tugged at Wang Xuan's sleeve, saying, "Don't say any more today, let's just leave it at that. Ling Wei was brought here by her parents… to meet the man's parents."

As Wang Xuan had guessed, he nodded and said nothing. Since they had already separated, he had no right to interfere in her life.

Liu Yun then whispered a few words to him, saying that the man's family name was Wu.

Wang Xuan immediately understood why Wu Yin's expression was the most unfriendly when she saw him appear.

"The Zhou Family, the Ling Family, and the Wu Family seem to have encountered very troublesome business matters today, so Sister Wu Yin is in a bad mood today and her temper is a bit high. She's not usually like this," Liu Yun informed him softly.

Wang Xuan looked at her with new respect. This female classmate seemed very weak, but in reality, she was skilled in social maneuvering and had high emotional intelligence. Through Ling Wei's relationship, she had become so familiar with Wu Yin, Zhou Ting, and others in such a short time, becoming best friends. She was truly not simple.

At the same time, he realized that there were also members of the Wu Family who had taken action on Qingcheng Mountain. He could only say he was sorry for disrupting their three families' "business."

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but smile. He looked at Wu Yin and said, "I apologize, goodbye!"

He didn't want to stay here any longer; there was no need to argue about anything.

Wu Yin was stunned. Her anger was about to explode, but she didn't expect him to give such a lighthearted expression of apology.

She said faintly, "Wang Xuan, you've already stayed on the Old Earth, and I heard you're working in this city. Just settle down and work hard and live a good life. Don't pester anyone anymore, and I wish you all the best."

Wang Xuan stopped directly, then turned around. He originally didn't want to say anything, but now he felt it was necessary to wake this woman up.

"First, I didn't know Ling Wei was meeting her future in-laws here, so there's no way I came here to pester her. Second, if you don't think it would be embarrassing, you can continue to make things difficult in this situation. I won't be the one who's embarrassed, but I think that even if you've misunderstood something, please let each other go. Third, everyone has their own choices in life. If we accidentally meet, we can each say hello, without needing to be hysterical. I wish Ling Wei all the best. Of course, for you, regardless of whether it's a misunderstanding or other reasons, we're strangers from now on. Fourth, goodbye!"

After Wang Xuan said this, he glanced into the Golden Years Restaurant and happened to see Ling Wei looking over here, obviously the quarrel outside had attracted the attention of those inside.

Wang Xuan nodded to her, and without waiting for her to react, he turned and strode away.

The women behind him were quiet, and no one spoke for a short time.

"Wang Xuan, over here!" At this time, Qin Cheng arrived, walking over while complaining, "I don't know which nouveau riche booked out the Golden Years Restaurant, they're too extravagant, we can't afford to offend them. Let's go to the 'Mortal World Millennium' restaurant on this floor."

He pulled Wang Xuan away.

In the distance, Wu Yin, Zhou Ting, Liu Yun, and the others looked at each other, all speechless.

"Oh, Goddess Zhao, are you here for dinner too?" Qin Cheng saw Zhao Qinghan at a glance, who was walking over from the elevator, accompanied by two women, who seemed to be bodyguards or friends.

"Why don't you join us?" Qin Cheng asked, his face as thick as ever.

Zhao Qinghan was still stunningly beautiful, with a gentle smile on her face. "What a coincidence! But I can't tonight. I have friends who already asked me to dinner."

Qin Cheng was incredibly enthusiastic. "Okay, then maybe we can get together another time. Don't forget to stop by New Moon. That's my territory. Come up to the moon to see the scenery sometime."

Zhao Qinghan smiled and nodded, agreeing to stop by and see him sometime. Then she smiled at Wang Xuan. "Wang Xuan, we might have a chance to work together in the future. Here's my contact information."

Her smile was sweet as she personally walked over and handed him a business card. Seeing Qin Cheng staring eagerly, she smiled and gave him one as well.

Even after Zhao Qinghan had walked away, Qin Cheng was still sighing. "Goddess Zhao really knows how to handle people. She's beautiful, and she's so thoughtful. She's a rare find."

Wang Xuan's lips curled up in a smile. "One business card and you're already dizzy. I think I need to tell your girlfriend so you can cry again and wake up."

"Don't!"

They entered the Golden Years Restaurant, found their private room, and sat down. Qin Cheng was still a little unconvinced.

"Putting everything else aside, not talking about her looks, I really think Zhao Qinghan is a good person. Every time I see her, I feel like I'm bathed in a spring breeze, so comfortable."

Wang Xuan nodded. "That's a given. Don't you think about where she comes from? When you were still a naive kid, she was already following her parents to various important events."

Qin Cheng said, "I think human nature is innate. She's a textbook example of someone who's beautiful and kind."

Wang Xuan had to educate him a bit. "You have to see through the appearances to the essence. Her smile and sweetness have become a natural reaction. You need to know that she's been taught all sorts of things since she was a child, from how to treat people, to socializing, to controlling her emotions. It's all professional. Whatever impression she wants to give you, she'll make sure you're convinced that's how she is."

Qin Cheng didn't believe him. "Old Wang, are you making Goddess Zhao out to be too shrewd and experienced? When I see her, I always feel like that smile has a healing effect. It's so pure."

Wang Xuan rolled his eyes. "Look at you, so easily impressed. Her performance has to be professional-grade, okay? Different demeanor in front of different people."

Wang Xuan wouldn't forget the time he saw Goddess Zhao outside of school, cold and aloof, radiating queenly vibes, scolding a successful person who was usually quite famous until he was bowing his head like a schoolboy.

At that time, Zhao Qinghan's expression was indifferent, and her words were particularly well-chosen. It could be said that she was psychologically quite mature, not the healing-smile goddess Qin Cheng described, but a complete elite queen.

After Wang Xuan finished describing the scenes he'd witnessed that day, he sighed. "So, a goddess's self-cultivation, from academics to speech, to social skills, and all sorts of other techniques, is indispensable. She's been through a mudslide of intense training. Compared to her, you're too green!"

Qin Cheng said, "Damn, Old Wang, listening to you talk about Goddess Zhao like that, I feel like you're not a good person either. I feel like you're not a good bird!"

Wang Xuan's face darkened. "I'm just trying to give you some good advice!"

"Okay, so are you saying I should be wary of her in the future?" Qin Cheng asked.

"Wary of what? You don't have anything she values or needs to exploit," Wang Xuan said indifferently.

"Old Wang, that's stabbing me in the heart! I'm going to break up with you!" Qin Cheng said, looking aggrieved.

"I'm just trying to give you a correct understanding, so you don't just smile foolishly at Zhao Qinghan every day. She can be innocent when she wants to be, and aloof when she needs to be. She can be pure, and she can be flirtatious. Just keep a clear self-awareness."

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he started ordering food, not wanting to talk about it anymore.

However, he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw Qin Cheng was winking at him frantically.

Wang Xuan turned around in an instant and suddenly discovered that Zhao Qinghan had appeared at the door of the private room at some point.
