Wu Yue, Yao Lei, and Ouyang Xinghe exchanged glances—who was this 'Mr. Lin' who was so generous, and why did he give a gift to Miao Xin? Didn't they know that Miao Xin was engaged to Qing Xuan? Wasn't this putting Qing Xuan in an awkward position?
"Miao Xin, is Mr. Lin your friend?" Qing Xuan didn't seem angry as expected but instead asked with a gentle smile.
Miao Xin hesitated for a moment, biting her glossy thin lips, then nodded, "Yes, just an ordinary friend." "An ordinary friend? He's so generous—I'd be quite interested in meeting this friend of yours." Qing Xuan's lips curled into a charming smile, his voice suddenly carrying a few degrees of chill.
Although Duanmu Xiang was unaware of Qing Xuan's true identity, she sensed something different about him, the inherent arrogance and aloofness that radiated from within him, something she had never seen in anyone else.
