Ruan Mingyi opened her phone and checked the trending searches.
Sheng Group's President in a Passionate Kiss with a Man
The comments underneath were pretty amusing.
I thought it was a male president passionately kissing a man. I clicked in all excited, only to find out it wasn't.
Hahaha, I thought so too. I never expected it to be a female president. Just from her back, she's clearly a stunning beauty—such a great figure, that waist-to-hip ratio is unreal.
What a pity we can't see the man's face. Whoever managed to pluck President Sheng, that lofty flower from the high ridge—I bow down in complete admiration.
It looks like a blockbuster movie still. The atmosphere is incredible. Are we sure this angle wasn't chosen on purpose?
No way, President Sheng is dating? I can't even imagine what she'd look like in a relationship. All I remember is how she scolds people at the Group—terrifying.
Would President Sheng still keep a cold face and lecture her partner even while dating? Ahhh.
Then that would be called training. Any man President Sheng could train definitely wouldn't be ordinary-looking. Her standards must be sky-high.
That man is so tall, and built like a double-door refrigerator. You don't even need to see his face to know he's a devastatingly handsome guy.
The photo showed only Sheng Mo's back and the man lowering his head to kiss her. Neither of their faces could be seen clearly.
Shen Qingling had not expected them to get photographed even in that brief moment.
But on second thought, it made sense. There had been so many reporters and media outlets today; quite a few of them had probably come hoping to dig up explosive gossip about wealthy families.
Shen Qingling remained perfectly calm, pretending he knew nothing.
He glanced at the Unknown Goddess progress bar. As expected, it had changed.
Yet it had only gone from eight to fifteen.
He had worked so hard, and the progress had only risen by that much?
Or was Sheng Mo not the Unknown Goddess after all?
Shen Qingling was a little lost.
"Qiqi, do you think my judgment might have been wrong? Maybe Sheng Mo isn't the Unknown Goddess?"
"I don't know either, but I feel that if it really is Sheng Mo, fifteen points of heart-fluttering value is already quite high. Other men might even be in the negatives with her."
Shen Qingling could not help laughing. "You really know how to comfort someone, but that does make sense."
After reading the trending-search comments, Ruan Mingyi said in surprise, "Huh? A woman like President Sheng actually has a day when her mortal heart is stirred? I thought she looked at men the way she looked at dogs."
Ye Qiao analyzed it with great seriousness. "Maybe he's a match arranged between their families? She seems like the sort of person who could sacrifice her marriage for the Sheng Family. Men should all look the same in her eyes anyway."
Ruan Mingyi frowned. "Even so, there was no need to kiss in a room. I can't imagine that cold face of hers passionately kissing someone."
Wei Qihe sighed. "I'm curious what kind of man could win over a woman like President Sheng."
Another young lady beside them came over and joined the discussion.
"Maybe he's just a pretty boy used to regulate her hormones."
"President Sheng only knows how to regulate herself with money. Men probably can't regulate anything for her."
"Are you trying to make me laugh to death? Hahaha, you make it sound as if President Sheng only has money in her eyes."
"Anyone who has dealt with President Sheng knows that there is no such creature as men in her eyes, nor women either. There are only people she can use."
Hearing their discussion, Shen Qingling roughly understood what kind of impression Sheng Mo had left on everyone.
She kept men at arm's length, was obsessed with making money, and could sacrifice everything for the family's interests.
Upstairs, Sheng Mo learned that she had made the trending searches.
"President Sheng, should we take the trend down?"
"No need."
She did not mind it. As long as it was not negative news about the Sheng Family, it was fine.
She looked at the photo and silently saved it.
Sheng Xia suddenly barged in from outside. With the expression of someone devouring gossip, she looked at Sheng Mo.
"Who would've thought? Our President Sheng has a time like this too. Tell me, who is this man?"
Sheng Xia had always mocked Sheng Mo for not understanding love, for being heartless and devoid of feeling.
After all, Sheng Mo had never been involved in rumors with any man over all these years, nor had anyone ever seen her associate privately with any man. It was all business.
Now that she had suddenly discovered that her aloof, unfeeling sister also had a day when her mortal heart was stirred, she could not resist coming to pry into what kind of man could make her disregard even the banquet and kiss him in a room.
Sheng Xia had to admit that man must have had something special, or he could never have brought someone like Sheng Mo to this point.
Sheng Mo raised her eyes at her with an indifferent expression. "What man?"
Sheng Xia thought she was deliberately playing dumb. "The man who kissed you on the trending searches!"
Sheng Mo turned the pen in her hand. "There was no man."
"Impossible. Is he still in the room?"
Sheng Xia did not believe her and began searching the room, but found nothing.
She muttered, "That shouldn't be..."
She was truly curious who it was. Walking over to Sheng Mo, she spoke in an unusually gentle tone. "I'm your sister. I won't tell anyone. Let me meet my future brother-in-law, okay? I'm just curious what kind of man he is."
Only then did Sheng Mo raise a brow. "You're that curious?"
Sheng Xia nodded vigorously. "I am!"
Sheng Mo answered truthfully, "I don't know."
"What do you mean, you don't know?"
"I don't know his identity either."
"Huh? You mean the two of you fell in love at first sight, kissed here, and then he disappeared?"
"More or less."
"Who are you trying to fool? Fine, if you don't want to tell me. If it's real, I'll find out sooner or later. You can't hide it from me. Hmph."
With that, Sheng Xia left.
She went downstairs to find Gu Yijin and gossip about it, but could not find him anywhere.
The woman wore a bewildered expression as she muttered, "Strange, where did A-Jin go..."
Fang Qingran suddenly sidled over from who knew where.
"Sheng Xia, are you looking for Gu Yijin?"
"Yes. Have you seen him?"
"I have. He's by the restroom, apparently with a woman."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could A-Jin possibly be with another woman!"
Fang Qingran's words ignited Sheng Xia's anger, but she figured some woman must have recklessly tried to seduce Gu Yijin. She did not believe Gu Yijin would betray her.
Furious, Sheng Xia headed toward the restrooms.
Fang Qingran curled her lips into a cold smile. Gu Yijin, if you dared use me as a weapon, then be ready for the Sheng Family to cast you aside.
Sheng Xia charged straight into the men's restroom and began searching for Gu Yijin room by room.
The Sheng Family's restrooms were arranged as private rooms, each with a place to rest inside. The actual toilet was in a small inner compartment.
As Sheng Xia searched room after room, she caught a man flirting with an attendant on a sofa inside one of them.
She could not help wondering whether Gu Yijin was doing the same thing behind her back.
With a bang, Sheng Xia slammed the door shut and rushed toward the final room.
Gritting her teeth, she opened the door. At the sight before her, her eyes flew wide open, her beautiful eyes brimming with rage.
A woman's shriek rang out. "Gu Yijin, what are you doing!?"
