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.RehDFiOrlnbQJywxGtmaYLyTERiJtj

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:ieKSauYIDmSkLQcfOuLhtadZXBrFHZ

The tallest building in the middle is the main tower.IKapDyUoaeAgMjrHeiyLODTgtRpMge

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.umWHtxMiyqnIpjyAHmgUXxiBlMazXz

There was Li Wuting, dressed in a sharp suit, his tie neatly knotted just below his Adam’s apple. His face was coldly handsome, still carrying an imposing aura.jjrSRlBPoyZlcoSDodkkkmNuLNBbzG

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.wjmiHlzaWlNKTfOsYCOwzIXoXQYOOT
