Chapter 2108 - 688: Words Like Tigers and Wolves, Balance, Cheongsam (Double Release for Monthly Ticket)
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was a lush bamboo grove illuminated by nighttime lights.
Several warm palace lanterns were lit in the corner of the room.
Xie Shuyu raised her head, cautiously looking ahead.
Soon, she saw the famous Miss Ouyang.
She was standing beside a large tea table.
Wearing a silver-white modified qipao, subtly embroidered with elegant orchid patterns.
The black edging extended smoothly from the elegant high collar down to the high-slit hem.
Perfectly outlining her mature and voluptuous yet flawlessly toned figure.
Her long black silky hair was styled into a graceful bun with a simple wooden hairpin, revealing a smooth, full forehead and a slender, graceful neck.
Adorning her earlobes were a pair of lustrous, warm pearl studs.
In the dim and tranquil light, she exuded a serene and regal elegance.
She seemed even younger than in the news reports.
And more vivid, more present.
Their eyes met.
Xie Shuyu quickly halted her steps, bowing slightly, her voice respectful yet tinged with nervousness:
"Miss Ouyang, hello. I’ve heard so much about you. I am Xie Shuyu from Glimmer Coffee. It’s an honor to meet you."
Ouyang Xianyue, upon hearing this, displayed a gentle smile.
"Hello, Shuyu, it’s a pleasure to meet you."
Seeing Miss Ouyang’s good attitude, a weight lifted from her heart.
Instinctively, she glanced at Tang Song beside her.
Waiting for his reaction.
At the same time, Ouyang Xianyue’s gaze also turned to him.
Her voice carried an unabashed closeness, "I was just wondering when you’d arrive."
Of course, to Xie Shuyu’s ears.
These words were filled with the concern and affection of an "elder" towards a "junior."
It seemed that Tang Song and Miss Ouyang indeed had a good relationship.
Which made her feel a little more at ease.
Then she saw Tang Song walk straight towards Miss Ouyang.
His eyes shamelessly swept over the voluptuous body wrapped in the qipao.
This extreme impropriety made Xie Shuyu’s heart race with anxiety!
She was just about to say something to defuse the situation when Tang Song’s voice had already sounded:
"I think this is the first time I’ve seen you in a qipao. It’s very beautiful, and quite alluring."
His gaze carried unabashed admiration.
Xie Shuyu’s eye twitched violently, and her heart leaped into her throat!
He... was he crazy?!
Talking to Miss Ouyang like that?!
However, Ouyang Xianyue just chuckled softly, bowing her head slightly.
A mysterious, gentle light flickered in her eyes.
"Is that so? It seems... we haven’t spent enough time together. We should meet more often in the future."
"Sure, there will be plenty of opportunities."
Xie Shuyu: ( O . O )!!
What?! What’s going on?!
In her dazed gaze.
Ouyang Xianyue strolled gently, bending to pick up a painting scroll next to the tea table.
Her movements were graceful, and her figure was lithe and beautiful.
Her voluptuous body and shapely hips, under the qipao, exuded a mature charm.
She approached Xie Shuyu, handing over the scroll.
"Shuyu, this is a gift for you. I hope you like it."
Xie Shuyu hesitated, awkwardly receiving the scroll.
It was an elegant ink painting of a small scene.
The shadow of trees was sparse, the ink like smoke.
Below was a line of flowing poetry—
"A faint cloud and sparse stars, raindrops on the parasol trees. Adhering to the virtuous rider, watching the merry flocks."
Below was the signature "Ouyang Xianyue" and an ancient-style private seal.
She looked up, glancing at the handsome and composed Tang Song, then at the regal and elegant Miss Ouyang.
And then at the artwork and calligraphy personally inscribed by Ouyang Xianyue.
Her gaze shifted.
All previous speculations were overturned.
The relationship between Tang Song and Miss Ouyang was anything but a simple elder and junior dynamic!
There was an intimacy between them!
