Lower Sea City, Golden Mansion's top floor, open-air restaurant.

Qiao Yue walked out from the elevator. Following that, she was guided by the waiter to a seat near the window.

This was one of the most expensive restaurants in the city, but it was also a very suitable place for dating. Not only could he see the entire view of the city, he could also see the Huangpu River not far in front of him. While blowing the river breeze, he could also watch the stars and moon with his beloved at the same time.

At this moment, there were already quite a few people in the restaurant. They were basically all young men and women, and only young men would want to pursue this kind of romance.

Qiao Yue sat in her seat and took a deep breath. She calmed her slightly flustered heart.

To be honest, it had been a long time since she had come to such a romantic place with a man.

The band played soothing music, and the men and women at the table looked at each other, conversing with each other. Bright moonlight shone on the table, making it seem as if it were a dream.

Qiao Yue looked at her watch.

She had arrived half an hour early because she was worried that there would be a traffic jam. As a result, there was no traffic jam on the road and she arrived early without any problems.

Qiao Yue looked at the elevator and saw that there were people coming out from it from time to time.

"What long legs!" Qiao Yue suddenly saw a top quality beauty walk out of the elevator. Although the woman was wearing loose western pants, she could still see her long legs. Just those legs alone were enough to instantly kill most of the women.

The top quality beauty's face was painted with light makeup, and her facial features were slightly cold, giving off a unique charm.

This was a woman that could not be ignored. The moment she appeared, all the women in the restaurant instantly lost their luster. Even someone like Qiao Yue, who was confident in his looks, did not dare to look at that woman directly.

Of course, if she was ten years younger, Qiao Yue felt that she could compete with her opponent.

The woman walked straight towards a table that was over ten meters away from Qiao Yue. There was already a woman sitting at that table. From the looks of it, she was not here to date.

Qiao Yue looked at the woman a few more times and realized that she walked very quickly. She had the air of a domineering CEO.

According to Qiao Yue's many years of experience, that woman should be a strong woman in a shopping mall.

"What are you looking at?" Qiao Yue suddenly heard the voice of a gentle man.

Qiao Yue was alarmed and quickly turned her head.

The moment she turned her head, she saw a warm and handsome face.

"H-Boss Xu!" Qiao Yue was so excited that she hurriedly stood up.

"Sit down!" Xu Taiping pressed down on Qiao Yue's shoulder and pushed her back into her seat. Afterwards, Xu Taiping also sat down.

"You can just call me Pingping, it's more intimate!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Closer?" Qiao Yue's heart trembled. This Xu Taiping had already begun to lay the groundwork?

"Isn't that a bit bad?" Qiao Yue asked.

"What's wrong with that? Why don't you call me Little Xu? " Xu Taiping asked with a smile.

"If you don't dare, then I'll just call you peaceful." Qiao Yue nodded.

"Hmm, what were you looking at? Looking at Wu Xue? " Xu Taiping looked into the distance and asked.

"Wu Xue?" Qiao Yue was stunned for a moment. She turned her head to the long-legged beauty and asked, "That person is called Wu Xue?"

"Yes, she is an elite in the shopping center of the Lower Sea City. You don't stay in the Upper Sea City, so you don't know her. If you stay in the Lower Sea City, you can get to know her as long as you have enough levels." Xu Taiping explained.

"Then do you know her well?" Qiao Yue asked.

"Not bad." Xu Taiping shrugged, then said, "Can you order now? We're not here to see Wu Xue tonight, are we? "

"Yes, yes!" Qiao Yue nodded and raised her hand to call the waiter.

"What do you want to eat?" Qiao Yue asked.

"You can order them, and a bottle of red wine as well!" Xu Taiping said.

"You're going to drink red wine?" Qiao Yue asked.

"Are you going to drink foreign wine? Beer? "With a full belly, it's easy to get drunk. The wine can only get a little drunk and is in just the right condition." Xu Taiping said.

"Then the Red Bar!" Qiao Yue nodded before ordering a few dishes.

Even before the dishes were served, the wine had already arrived.

The waiter politely poured wine for the two of them and stepped aside.

"Here, for you!" Qiao Yue said as she picked up her wine cup.

Xu Taiping smiled, picked up his wine cup and clinked it with Qiao Yue's. He then said, "To us."

Qiao Yue's heart trembled slightly. She had the nagging feeling that Xu Taiping was hinting at something.

They sipped the red wine and put down their glasses.

The warm river breeze just so happened to blow over at this moment, just like the hands of the opposite sex, stirring up everyone's face.

"Your makeup looks better tonight than it did at work." Xu Taiping said.

Qiao Yue was slightly elated before she said, "The makeup I draw at work is rather thick. When I come out at night, I'll just make some light makeup."

"Because of your natural beauty, your heavy makeup conceals your charm. Your skin is very good, there's no need to put on too much powder." Xu Taiping said.

"How's my skin?" Qiao Yue touched her face and asked.

"Alright, it's white and tender." Xu Taiping laughed.

"But I'm already in my early forties. I'm getting old, and I'm taking good care of myself now." Qiao Yue said.

"No, no, no. You have a good foundation. Only if your foundation is good will you need to maintain it." Xu Taiping said.

"Don't praise me, I will feel embarrassed." Qiao Yue said.

"Would you be embarrassed? Why do I feel like I'm enjoying watching you? " Xu Taiping asked with a smile.

"Damn." Qiao Yue pouted coquettishly.

It seemed that it was due to the effects of the alcohol that Qiao Yue slowly let go. Her dialogue with Xu Taiping also lost its previous distance and became more harmonious.

Not long after, the dishes were served.

Food, wine, and beautiful scenery.

Surrounded by the three beauties, Qiao Yue's mood became incomparably cheerful. It had been a long time since she had eaten, drank, and chatted with a man alone like this, Xu Taiping was a very interesting person, you would never be able to hear anything that would make you unhappy in his mouth. Sometimes, he would act very assertively, giving you some advice on your work life.

Qiao Yue only experienced this kind of feeling when she had just fallen in love.

A bottle of wine was quickly finished. Xu Taiping raised his hand and called out, "Waiter, another bottle of wine!"

Maybe it was because Xu Taiping's voice was too loud, it attracted the attention of Wu Xue in the distance.

Wu Xue looked over to the source of the voice and saw Xu Taiping right away.

Wu Xue's face revealed a surprised expression. Then, Wu Xue stood up and walked towards Xu Taiping.

On the way to Xu Taiping, Wu Xue noticed Qiao Yue who was facing Xu Taiping. When she saw Qiao Yue, her eyebrows creased slightly before quickly relaxing.

Wu Xue walked briskly to the side of Xu Taiping's table.

Her pair of long legs also caused everyone's gaze to gather on Xu Taiping's table.

When Xu Taiping and Qiao Yue were having their meal, no one noticed that the person sitting here was Xu Taiping. When Wu Xue arrived, the surrounding guests realized that the very low-key man sitting in the corner was actually Xu Taiping.

Suddenly, everyone became excited as they all picked up their phones …

Wu Xue came in front of Xu Taiping.

"You're so biased!" Wu Xue looked angrily at Xu Taiping as she spoke.

Wu Xue's words caused Qiao Yue's heart to tremble slightly. She glanced at Wu Xue, and saw that Wu Xue was standing beside her. Due to the problem of Wu Xue's height, she blocked the light that was shining towards Qiao Yue.

Wu Xue like this was enough to make any woman of the same age as her feel inferior, not to mention a woman that was over forty like Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue was normally not a person with an inferiority complex, she was even more confident than an average person. However, at this moment, she was still feeling inferior because she discovered that whether it was in terms of looks, skin, or figure, she was incomparable to Wu Xue. And Wu Xue didn't even glance at her as she stood there.

This feeling of uneasiness, as if you had gone to the bar in your BMW sports car and stopped in front of the bar, was met with looks from many women. You had just gained a bit of accomplishment when a Ferrari arrived and this Ferrari stopped right next to you.

At this moment, Qiao Yue suddenly felt that her beautiful feeling just now had turned into an illusion. Perhaps what Xu Taiping said to her didn't have the profound meaning of wanting to seduce her like she thought. Because Xu Taiping had Wu Xue as his friend, how could he have any thoughts towards her?

This discovery made Qiao Yue feel even more uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with me?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"I've asked you out so many times, and you said that you were busy. I even called you this afternoon to ask you out for dinner, but you said that you had something important to do!" Wu Xue said.

"I do have something important to do!" As Xu Taiping spoke, he pointed to Qiao Yue, who had her head lowered, and said, "Let me introduce you to her. This is Qiao Yue, Qiao Yue, this is Wu Xue. I told you earlier."

She did not want to have any direct contact with Wu Xue. Although there was no conflict between the two of them, she could see that Wu Xue would feel inferior and would feel inferior. However, since Xu Taiping had already said so, she could only raise her head and try her best to smile.

"Hello, Qiao Yue. I am Wu Xue." Wu Xue smiled and extended her hand to Qiao Yue. Her smile was sincere and filled with confidence.

"Hello, I'm Qiao Yue." Qiao Yue similarly extended her hand to shake Wu Xue's hand.

"I'm so envious of you. I've already asked him out many times to have a meal with Taiping, but he rejected me at the same time!" Wu Xue said with a smile.

"Yes …" Is that so? I was just lucky. " Qiao Yue said with a forced smile.

"You're not from Heshai City, right?" Wu Xue asked.

"No, I'm from Jiang Yuan City." Qiao Yue said.

"No wonder. I was wondering why I've never seen you before. A mature and beautiful woman like you, if I've seen her before, it would be impossible for me to forget." Wu Xue smiled.

Mature and beautiful?

When Qiao Yue heard the four words of praise, her heart trembled slightly.

This … Could it be an indication that she was old?
