Perhaps because he had lived an extra lifetime, his demeanor carried a touch of ancient elegance. There was a sense of nobility between his brows, yet unlike his previous life’s sickly weakness, it made him even more attractive.NMZtnBRDwbvkHKoLjDOaFvgKqDUkDH

Seeming to think a blind date wasn’t as impactful as a date, Yu Xing made a couple of “oh” sounds and was about to slide away when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise:ZsQTiWpAogEgSaJZRwudGMuBJWpwJg

Although the land is costly, Mingcheng Group occupies a vast area. The center is a large plaza, surrounded by several bright and tall office buildings.NLiiCuFsImRFDDFxZEQKQyXrvtmbmZ

Ning Rushen initially wanted to ask at the front desk if he could see Li Wuting, but without an appointment, he couldn’t even enter the main building.AcvIefUewzjLICHTdjYgGTliJlpzla

As he was thinking, his gaze flickered, and he suddenly caught sight of a dark Bodhi bead from the cuff of the tailored suit. The bead seemed incongruous with the person’s status, yet it was firmly tied around the wrist.xTNVjrvCBTrTgWVMBWcmNEjGECqxAL
