Tang Xu was wearing a long dress with straps on his chest. His elegant long hair was lightly draped over his shoulders, making his pretty face look even more exquisite.

Her skin was beautiful and her figure elegant.

At this moment, she was standing in front of the door of a small villa with complicated thoughts running through her mind.

Today is the first anniversary of her relationship with Shen. Pei said she had prepared a huge surplice for her and asked her to come to his villa.

Delight was right in front of her eyes, but Tang Xu suddenly felt a little nervous as he slowly licked his chapped lips. Finally, she made up her mind.

He pressed the doorbell.

A moment later, the door opened. Tang Xu lifted his eyes, his expression indifferent, unperturbed.

"Tang Xu?"

A cold voice came from the top of his head, carrying ridicule and arrogance.

Tang Xu frowned, looking at the handsome and tall man before him. He bit his lips, and his heartbeat sped up a bit, but it wasn't to an uncontrollable extent. Calming himself down, he smiled: "Sir, you know me?"

The man's expression immediately became unsightly, but it only lasted for a split-second before returning to normal. After sneering twice, he adjusted his iron-gray shirt. The corner of his mouth curled up as he spoke in a domineering manner.

"Know him?" "Ha ha." The man's chestnut hair was slightly messy under the gentle breeze blowing outside. However, with his unruly and unruly expression, it made him look particularly attractive. "Miss Tang, are you confused? "Your 'boyfriend' is organizing a birthday party for you today. Who else could it be other than you?"

The implied meaning was mocking Tang Xu's narcissism.

Tang Xu's expression stiffened. He didn't expect the man's words to be so sharp. However, she wasn't someone who was easy to pinch. With an indifferent smile, she said, "Sir's words are too familiar."

The man's dark gaze was fixed on her. He didn't seem to think that the woman would actually dare to talk back. His tightly clenched fists turned slightly white.

Tang Xu's eyes flickered as he saw the small details between the man's pants, but he pretended to be silent. Just at this moment, a shout came from inside the villa:

"Hey, you guys are standing at the door as doormen. Come in!"

"I was just about to come, but I saw that Shen Pei's girlfriend looks pretty good, so I looked at her a little more." "En," the man replied before striding into the living room. He no longer paid any attention to Tang Xu, his expression very unperturbed.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Pei smilingly patted his shoulder, pretended to be serious and said, "This bro's girlfriend is not to be robbed. Tang Xu is mine."

The man chuckled. "A woman like that is not bad looks, but she is not up to my standards."

After he finished speaking, he coldly glanced at Tang Xu as he walked in, the corners of his mouth curving into a cold and merciless smile.

Shen Lo ignored his words and the unusual expression on his face. When she saw Tang Xu, she gently went over and asked him all kinds of questions. It was as if she had already placed Tang Xu first in her heart.

Despite the teasing from the crowd, he was enjoying himself.

After entering through the door, Tang Xu greeted Shen Xuan with a few words. After which, he looked at the surrounding people and said, "Let's have a seat first."

Shen Yu smiled, intimately holding her by the waist as she walked towards the dining hall's partition. While walking, she introduced her friends to Tang Xu one by one, saying, "Today is the first anniversary of our relationship. My buddies are all here, taking advantage of today's good day to introduce you two to each other. How is it? Do you feel pleasantly surprised?"

With an indifferent expression, Tang Xu's lips twitched as he said, "I'm very happy that you've introduced me to your good friend."

But unfortunately, there was only shock and no joy.

His gaze involuntarily rested on that man just now. Tang Xu's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

"That's Meng Xing Zhang, the president of the 'Meng Qi' Corporation. Although he's a genius, he's a cold person and definitely not as considerate and gentle as me." Shen Lun's voice was clear and smooth as he cupped Tang Xu's face and said happily to her eyes.

Tang Xu nodded, pretending to listen to Shen Lo's introduction of the other people, but his mind was distracted and his mind was wandering.

After three years, when he saw Meng Xingzhang again, she had become his bro's girlfriend. With that man's ruthlessness, he still didn't know how to deal with her.

Right now, it was as if she was barefoot on the edge of a blade. She was already dripping with blood, but the blade was still on the edge of the cliff, so if she wasn't careful, she would fall into the abyss.

"Shen Lo, your girlfriend seems to have something on her mind," Meng Xingzhang said icily as he sat across from Tang Xu, holding onto a bottle of superior wine. "It's interesting to think of something else during the party for the anniversary of your 'relationship'."

The atmosphere immediately turned silent. These words were like a slap in the face, filled with malicious ridicule. Yet, these words were all directed at Tang Xu alone.

Tang Xu's hand, which was holding onto the wine cup, was in so much pain that it went numb. His long fingernails dug into the rim of the cup, turning it blue.

When he saw the man at the entrance, he knew that the meal wouldn't be that easy. He didn't expect that Meng Xingzhang would make such a fuss just as his butt touched the chair. He didn't even give him a chance to breathe.

Tang Xu raised his head and looked into Meng Xing's dark eyes, his face expressionless.

Shen Lo frowned, looking at Meng Xing Zhang inexplicably as he tried to defend Tang Xu, "Meng Xing Zhang, what nonsense are you spouting?"

A good banquet just happened to give off the scent of gunpowder.

Tang Xu held down Shen Lo's almost standing body as he gently placed his warm palm on Shen Lo's thigh. Lifting his head to face Meng Xingzhang, he said, "Boss Meng is not a person in the pond. Thinking about things is obviously a matter of expanding one's horizons. No wonder when I was in a daze, Meng could always tell that I was thinking about something else."

Meng Xing Zhang raised his wine cup, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes. "You mean you admit that you're thinking of someone else while you're in Shen Lu's arms?"

Tang Xu chuckled, "Of course not. People aren't things. I was just thinking about something just now. Shen Lu introduced his close friends to me. Does that mean our relationship has deepened?"

The last sentence was said with a smile to Pei.

When Pei Zi Yun heard this, he immediately grabbed her hand, which was still resting on his lap, and gripped her firmly. "Yes, Tang Xu is someone I have decided on. I hope you will treat her as you treat me."

With that, he shifted his focus onto Meng Xing Zhang with doubt in his eyes.

Meng Xing Zhang calmly returned his gaze and pouted. "You've prepared such a large table of food. If you don't eat it now, it'll get cold."

Covering his eyes with his lashes, Meng Xing Zhang's eyes were bloodthirsty.

Tang Xu took a glass of champagne and poured himself a cup before slowly saying to Pei, "It's indeed a bit late."

Saying this, she even very considerately gave Pei a pair of chopsticks.

It was only then that Pei's complexion improved. She then invited everyone to eat and drink. Bottles of red wine were opened without the slightest bit of heartache.
