The sky was clear, with a few light clouds hanging above. A gentle breeze flowed through, blending with the warm sunlight that filled the entire room.
His usually indifferent expression softened as he lay back, the contours of his face becoming more gentle, losing the coldness that kept others at a distance. He appeared much more lively. His eyes were slightly closed, casting a shadow from his eyelashes onto his eyelids. His eyebrows were soft and smooth, and his hair lay neatly against his cheeks. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, a hint of an almost imperceptible smile gracing his face, and his breathing was calm.
The alarm clock on the bedside table rang, and the man opened his eyes and got up to change clothes.
He wore simple casual attire: straight jeans that fit snugly around his long legs, a deep blue shirt, and a vest with deep blue and white trim over it. The outfit lacked the seriousness of formal wear but did not diminish his handsome appearance in the slightest.
“President, it’s time to head to the Art Exhibition,” said Xia Yu, seemingly surprised to see the President dressed this way.
Mu Tongzi lazily leaned against the bar. “Did you find out anything?”
“Yes, the organizer of this Art Exhibition, Miss Su Jimo, is a good friend of Mrs. Jiang, which is why Mrs. Jiang is coming. According to our investigation, Mrs. Jiang has a wide range of interests and previously studied painting.”
“Oh?” He curled his fingers around the wine glass, narrowing his eyes slightly as a bright face flashed through his mind.
“She is not just any architect; she is known as a genius abroad. Her works are priceless, yet she conducts herself very low-key.”
“Is that so? Then what is her true identity?” It was surprising that even his capable subordinate could only uncover such vague information.
“Sorry! I haven’t been able to find out more for now.”
“Keep investigating! There are many designers who navigate the architecture world with ease, but those called geniuses are few and far between. We will find out eventually.”
Xia Yu looked up at him hesitantly and spoke, "President, a subordinate of an unrelated person feels that it shouldn't be such a big deal to investigate, especially since she is Jiang Chengmu's wife."
"So what?" He slightly curled his lips, dismissing Xia Yu's reminder.
"The Jiang family is not as simple as it appears on the surface; they have people in politics, military, and business. Their influence is particularly strong in City A, and we shouldn't alarm them at this time."
"I know. I won't involve her. Although her identity is sensitive, she is my woman and the only one I don't dislike."
"Yes, I understand!" From his words, it was easy to hear the favoritism; she was the President's only exception, but it was unclear what her true identity was.
Su Jimo was naturally gifted in painting, and with the guidance of renowned teachers, within a few years, she held Art Exhibitions around the world, gaining considerable fame and making it hard to get tickets.
This was the first time an Art Exhibition was held domestically, attracting many art enthusiasts and refined individuals.
She rarely attended Su Jimo's Art Exhibitions; this time was an exception merely to avoid Jiang Chengmu. She didn't expect to encounter that beast who had taken her innocence here—what a stroke of bad luck!
Unfortunately, that man continued to provoke her time and again. Even now, she couldn't understand what he wanted to do; avoiding him was the best course of action.
However, fate had other plans. As soon as she arrived at the exhibition hall entrance, she spotted a figure getting out of a car, and her steps suddenly halted.
The man who got out also noticed her. He paused for a moment, assessing her from a few meters away. A flicker of surprise crossed his dark eyes, followed by a hint of embarrassment, but he quickly returned to normal.
Their clothing colors and styles were quite similar; when did their tacit understanding become so good?
