Chapter 056: When Will the Bright Moon Appear

Looking at Su Qingying’s profile, Wu Chen suddenly felt a touch of nostalgia. He thought again of all the things he’d done to Su Qingying in the thousand-year loop, again and again.

Among his impressions of all his women, Su Qingying was one who’d left a very deep mark.

That deep impression didn’t come from her looks.

Wu Chen had seen far too many beautiful women. That was why his scoring standards were so strict. It also meant that when choosing women, appearance was merely a baseline requirement, not the most important factor.

Being beautiful didn’t necessarily make Wu Chen linger.

The vast majority of women he’d slept with, he’d tasted once and never touched again.

He also never touched surgically altered faces.

This was also why, across the loops, he’d repeatedly slept with Li Ruobing more than a hundred times.

Because Li Ruobing’s personality and ability gave Wu Chen a sense of accomplishment—a feeling that even a woman like Li Ruobing could be toyed with in the palm of his hand.

As for Su Qingying—

The reason she’d left such a deep impression on Wu Chen was that she wasn’t only beautiful enough to topple nations—she was also not what she appeared.

Her inner self and outer appearance could even be called two extremes.

Like Li Ruobing, in the public eye both Su Qingying and Li Ruobing were career women. Moreover, Su Qingying was an only daughter. She’d inevitably inherit the family business in the future, and might even have the chance to become the wealthiest woman in the entire country.

But—

Li Ruobing’s career-woman image, the forcefulness in her personality, the dominance in her methods—more than ninety percent of it was real. She truly was strong to the bone.

Su Qingying was not.

Inside… put it this way: among all the beautiful women Wu Chen had encountered, Su Qingying had the greatest gap between inner and outer self. She could also count as one of the most obedient, docile, and gentle.

She… had issues.

Inside the car, Su Qingying, who’d been reading an interview script, suddenly turned her head, as if she’d noticed Wu Chen’s gaze. She first looked outside, then looked slightly lower—because the Lamborghini was a sports car with a very low body.

Their eyes met.

Su Qingying saw a well-dressed young stranger driving a Lamborghini, looking at her. He seemed like some rich second-generation heir, though she didn’t know whose family.

Wu Chen gave her a polite smile.

Su Qingying smiled politely back. The smile appeared quickly and vanished just as fast.

Then she raised her hand and pulled the sunshade completely shut.

Her smile was courtesy. Her upbringing taught her to respond to a smile with a smile. But that was all. She didn’t want to be watched.

At the intersection ahead, the light changed and traffic could move.

The Su family convoy set off, proceeding straight through the intersection. Wu Chen turned left after crossing. Of course he wouldn’t follow them—wouldn’t stick to them so deliberately and obviously.

He could also guess where the Su family convoy was headed.

Probably to some press conference or media briefing. The day before yesterday, a major robbery had occurred at a Jinfu Jewelry store in Donghai. Though the case had been solved the same day, there were still many matters to handle afterward.

After turning through the intersection, Wu Chen picked up his phone again, entered a number, and sent a text.

Not following was one thing.

But since he’d happened to run into her like this, there was certainly nothing wrong with giving her a little tease first.

…

In the middle of the convoy, inside the Mercedes-Maybach.

Having fully drawn the sunshade, Su Qingying was still reading her interview script. At the media briefing shortly, reporters would ask her many questions—about Jinfu Group’s security issues, compensation for employees injured in the robbery, and so on.

Whatever the reporters would ask had been written in the script…
