Chapter 623: 625, a big shot has appeared up ahead! (Second update)

Chu Jin had already made it very clear to Wang Kai before.

But Wang Kai never gave up.

He was like a cockroach that couldn’t be squashed.

"Alright!" Wang Kai continued, "Then wait for me a second, just two minutes, I’ll be right back."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Chu Jin to respond, he ran directly towards the direction of the car.

Chu Jin had no idea what he was up to, but out of politeness, she didn’t leave.

Just as Wang Kai had said, he returned quickly, and when he came back, he was holding a bunch of glaring red roses. Before Chu Jin could react, Wang Kai suddenly got down on one knee, looking earnestly at Chu Jin, "Chu Jin, my grandmother likes you a lot, will you be my girlfriend? Of course, I really like you too."

It was evening, and there were many students coming and going through the school gate, heading out for dinner.

Seeing such a scene, everyone stood by to watch.

Actually, such things were quite common in universities.

But Chu Jin was different, she was not only the National Goddess online, but also the belle of Capital University, and with Wang Kai being a fresh-faced youth, their coupling attracted much attention!

The university is like a small society, which never lacks people who enjoy watching the excitement.

"Is she the belle of our school?"

"She’s so pretty! Way more than in the photos!"

"Of course, do you think the title of National Goddess is undeserved?"

"Who’s that guy? He looks quite handsome too."

"Don’t know, probably from another school?"

"I don’t mean to be rude, but this dude really doesn’t match up to our school belle."

The bystanders whispered among themselves.

At this moment, several men and women dressed in formal suits walked over from the side, dragging sweet violin music along with them as they approached.

This was a very professional violin ensemble.

They were playing a very romantic piece, "Praise of Love."

Clearly, these people were brought in by Wang Kai to back him up.

"Chu Jin! Be my girlfriend!" Wang Kai yelled out loud.

At this point, the surrounding students erupted!

They clapped and cheered rhythmically, shouting, "Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!"

Chu Jin slightly furrowed her brows, looked down at Wang Kai, and spoke amidst his hopeful gaze, "I’m sorry, I already have a fiance, and I love him very much, so I can’t accept you."

At her words, the cheers around them abruptly ceased, only the violin music continued unabated.

"Impossible," Wang Kai clearly didn’t believe this excuse, "You’re only nineteen, you can’t possibly have a fiance. Chu Jin, even if you don’t like me, you don’t have to fob me off with that reason. Even if you don’t like me, we can still try it out. If it truly doesn’t work, I, Wang Kai, am not someone to pester annoyingly, you can be assured of that!"

This statement irritated Chu Jin! It was as if she had to agree to him no matter what today! As if, if she dared to refuse him, she wouldn’t be able to leave the school gate.

Moreover, Wang Kai’s words had also drawn some resentment from the surrounding students towards Chu Jin, making her seem very unreasonable.

He’s not unreasonable, so she should agree to him? How is that different from moral coercion?

Chu Jin’s brows furrowed slightly.

What’s wrong with this Wang Kai! What’s this nonsense?

Laughable! No wonder he’s still single at his age!

Chu Jin’s lips slightly curved up, "First, I indeed do not like you. Second, I really do have a fiance! Third, even if I were single, I wouldn’t consider being with you! What makes you think I should give it a try with you? Is it because you’re handsome? Sorry, there are plenty of people who are more handsome than you in this world, you might be in need of a mirror."

With these words, the crowd almost excitedly applauded for Chu Jin, before realizing they had almost been led astray by Wang Kai!

Speaking of which, Wang Kai had quite the guile!

If it were any other girl, she might have been tricked by him today!

"You don’t have a fiance, why can’t you give it a try with me?" Wang Kai was somewhat angry; he came from a wealthy family and was good-looking! Why should Chu Jin reject him! No! Chu Jin couldn’t reject him!

Chu Jin couldn’t be bothered to argue with Wang Kai and simply slowly stretched out her left hand, on her ring finger, the red diamond was catching the sun and radiating dazzling light, "Heard of engagement rings?"

With that said, Chu Jin walked around Wang Kai, heading in the direction of the roadside.

Where she went, the bystanders all made way for her.

At the end of that path stood a man in a white shirt, tall and distinguished, with exquisitely crafted features and an aura so cold and commanding that it made the students around him gasp, Wang Kai included.

Seeing this, Chu Jin walked straight up to him, took hold of his shoulders, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him.

The man’s hands also actively encircled her waist, responding to the kiss.

Without a doubt, these two were a couple deeply in love.

"Ahhhhh!" The onlooking students immediately began screaming excitedly.

After the kiss was over, Chu Jin and Mr. Mo walked off hand in hand in another direction.

When there was no more excitement to watch, the crowd dispersed, leaving only a devastated Wang Kai sitting on the ground, his face deathly pale.

He recognized the man in the white shirt.

In the past, during high school, he had come to meet with Chu Jin for a parent-teacher conference.

Back then, he had introduced himself as Chu Jin’s uncle.

How had he now... become Chu Jin’s fiancé?

Over here, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan were walking towards the villa area, seeing that Mo Zhixuan was silent, Chu Jin took the initiative to speak, "Why did you come?"

Mo Zhixuan’s expression looked a bit sullen, his tone slightly cold, "If I hadn’t come, wouldn’t I have missed quite a spectacle?"

"There are plenty of things like this, if you put it that way, aren’t you missing out on a spectacle every day?" Chu Jin almost blurted out.

"Every day?" Mo Zhixuan stopped in his tracks, his face as icy as frost, "Why have you never told me you’re so popular at school?"

It was then that Chu Jin realized she had misspoken and quickly looked up to placate him, "Don’t be angry, didn’t I just clear your name?"

"What if I hadn’t come?" Mo Zhixuan’s lips pursed slightly.

"Even if you hadn’t come, I would have rejected him righteously. After all, I’m already spoken for..." Chu Jin took the initiative to hold his hand, comforting him.

Mo Zhixuan’s expression finally eased up a little, and he led Chu Jin in a different direction, "Come on, I’ll take you somewhere."

Without asking where, Chu Jin simply followed him.

Until Mo Zhixuan brought Chu Jin to a high-end styling salon.

"Nine Ye." The moment Mo Zhixuan entered, the staff immediately came to greet him.

Even the manager came forward, speaking very respectfully, "Nine Ye, you’ve arrived."

Chu Jin looked at him, puzzled, and whispered, "Why have you brought me here?"

Mo Zhixuan looked down slightly, "Accompany me to a charity gala tonight," he said, then raised his eyes towards the manager and instructed, "Design an outfit for the wife of Nine Ye suitable for a charity gala."

"Certainly," the manager quickly nodded, then turned to Chu Jin with great respect and said, "Mrs. Nine, this way please."

This was Mrs. Nine, he had to take utmost care in serving her.

Chu Jin followed the manager into the VIP guest room.

Six female designers were already waiting for her.

Two were in charge of clothing, two were in charge of makeup, and the other two were responsible for hairstyling.

These were top international designers, the kind that money couldn’t normally hire.

As soon as Chu Jin stepped into the VIP guest room, Mo Zhixuan called his assistant, "Make arrangements, tonight I’ll bring your President’s wife to a charity gala."

When the assistant received the call, he was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yes, Boss, I’ll arrange it right away."

After speaking, the assistant continued, "Boss, tonight’s charity gala will gather socialites from various circles, and there will also be reporters..."

Before the assistant could finish his sentence, Mo Zhixuan interrupted. His voice was cool as he said, "Am I attending or are you?" and then he hung up the phone.

Looking at the disconnected phone, the assistant broke out in a cold sweat.

As Mo Zhixuan’s personal assistant, Li He almost doubted whether the person he had just spoken to was really the Boss!

Having followed the Boss for over a decade, he knew he was a particularly peculiar man - aloof, reserved, cool, never seen with a female companion, disliking social gatherings, and even more so disliking attending business events, refusing interviews and journalist inquiries.

In previous years, Mo Enterprise would send others to charity events.

The Boss never appeared in public.

This led to rumors that the master of the Mo family was incredibly ugly and an old man over fifty.

Unexpectedly, Mo Zhixuan never cared about these rumors. No matter how the outside world speculated, he never pressured or stopped the gossip.

The assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, curious whether the Boss was changing his ways? Not only had he found a wife, but he was also going to attend a charity gala! With this in mind, the assistant immediately made arrangements over the phone.

Those below were also abuzz upon hearing the news.

Soon, news that President Mo would attend the charity gala spread throughout the entire circle, and the entertainment reporters went mad, arriving early at the site of the gala to camp out and secure a good spot to capture the first photo of Mo Zhixuan.

The charity gala was broadcast live.

And it was streamed across the entire network, garnering very high viewing and click rates. The presence of the head of the Mo family at the event this year was quite a draw, attracting a lot of online viewers.

Some even claimed they’d skip meals or work just to watch the live stream.

Meanwhile.

An hour later.

The manager led Chu Jin out of the guest room, "Nine Ye, she’s ready."

Mo Zhixuan slightly lifted his gaze, and despite being mentally prepared, he was still astoundingly mesmerized as he looked at the woman before him, nodding slightly, "Very good."

Chu Jin also slowly lifted her gaze to meet his, her delicate peach blossom eyes shimmering with light.

She wore a black cocktail dress with a strapless design, revealing creamy, delicate shoulders that appeared extremely exquisite and elegant, complemented by her collarbones. The dress fitted her perfectly, accentuating her already fine figure, making it impeccably flawless at this moment.

Her features were already striking, and now, under the light and dressed in this cocktail outfit, she was captivating beyond words.

Mo Zhixuan had also changed into a black hand-made suit, the understated design exuding luxury, with some of the finer details matching Chu Jin’s dress, making it obvious they were a couple’s set.

"Let’s go," Mo Zhixuan said, with a quiver in his step, as he walked over and gently wrapped his arm around her waist.

Outside, a driver was already waiting for them.

It was a stretch Lincoln.

In March, the air still carried a hint of chill, but the crowd arriving at the charity event was dressed to the nines.

Tonight, those gathered here were tycoons and leaders from Capital City and indeed the entire world.

The passing vehicles each more luxurious than the last, each more upscale than the next.

The attendees tonight included not only business moguls but also famous celebrities from the entertainment industry, including the current most beloved starlet Qing Li.

And the nation’s new darling, Lu Xinxi.

Countless cameras waited at the entrance, the media reporters eager to capture shots of the head of the Mo family and his fiancée above all.

As the start of the gala drew closer, the online commentators’ excitement intensified, as they waited in front of their phones, sending comments.

[Why hasn’t the entrance segment started yet? Waiting to see the real face of the Mo family head.]

[Just an ugly one, nothing to see. I’m here to see our Xinxi.]

[I heard that ugly one is bringing his fiancée tonight.]

[A tree of begonias outshines the pear blossoms! What a pity! A pity indeed!]

[Comrades! Please protect your eyes!]

[We’re about to see the legendary business tycoon! So excited!]

[I’ve heard the Mo family head is extremely ugly!]

[I’m here for Qing Li.]

[Hahaha, I really want to see just how ugly the business mogul is!]

[I bet he’s so ugly, he’ll make us cry! Get ready, everyone!]

[I don’t like Lu Xinxi! No idea what the officials were thinking, inviting Lu Xinxi to a charity gala like this! Hahaha...]

[...]

Luxury cars stopped one after the other, with business magnates and international superstars stepping out.

The female stars arrived in full glamour, with appropriate smiles on their faces, gracefully walking past the cameras.

The hosts on stage introduced them one by one.

In the comments, fans madly supported their idols, while occasionally a troll would drop an unpleasant remark.

It was the moment.

A spotlight beamed at the entrance, its blinding white light making it difficult for anyone to keep their eyes open.

[High energy ahead!]

[Attention, attention! A big shot is about to appear!]

[Gather ’round, gather ’round!]

As the light dimmed, a stretch Lincoln slowly stopped at the entrance. At the same time, the flashbulbs went off, and countless cameras furiously snapped photos of the car.

Now was the time, the car door opened, and a long leg was the first to emerge. Following that leg upward revealed a face so finely chiseled it was as if crafted by the hand of God himself! Deep-set phoenix eyes, cool and arching brows, a nose as precise and prominent as if chiseled from stone, and lips pressed into a thin line.

He looked like an emperor who commanded the world, his presence overwhelming everyone present!

The viewers in front of their screens were instantly stunned.

Holy smokes!

Who is this man? So handsome! So cool! Such an aura!

The man didn’t head inside immediately after stepping out of the car but slightly bent over near the vehicle, extending one hand toward the female companion inside, the other hand resting on the roof of the car, exhibiting a captivating gentlemanly charisma.

Seeing his gesture, those watching on their screens held their breath in anticipation, curious about the kind of companion he would usher out.

Would it be one of their own adored celebrities?

The camera clearly captured this moment. A slender and graceful hand gently rested on his, its fingers delicate and nails neatly rounded. Unlike other female stars’ flashy nail polish, her nails were bare, spotlessly clean, and even revealed a healthy pink tone.

This was truly a hand so perfect it could incite divine jealousy.

The fans among the viewers who appreciated beautiful hands were practically licking their screens in excitement!

Just a glimpse of her hand was enough to captivate, so what would happen if someone saw her face? Would it not steal their very souls?

Netizens stared unblinkingly at their phone screens, afraid of missing anything.

Finally, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the mysterious woman inside the car revealed her true face. Holding the man’s hand, she stepped out with a long stride, gracefully emerged into the sea of camera flashes, tilted her chin slightly, and smiled with the corners of her lips, her eyes sparkling like a queen with an overwhelming aura.

She had a face that was picture-perfect from a 365° angle.

If one had to use adjectives to describe her, it would be: stunningly exquisite!

Her presence overshadowed all the female celebrities present.

Even the fans beyond the security line began to scream excitedly.

In a society that values appearances, beauty is justice!

Mo Zhixuan led Chu Jin by the arm, step by step, as if a sovereign surveying his realm, exuding a compelling presence that instinctively made others feel a sense of awe.

The presence of this couple was so powerful that the venue fell almost silent, as all eyes turned to them, even the host was stunned!

It took a long while for the host to regain composure, then she tapped the microphone and announced excitedly, "The two distinguished guests entering now are—President of Mo Group, Mr. Mo Zhixuan, and his fiancée, Miss Chu Jin."

As soon as she said this, not only were the netizens in front of their screens stunned, but the people at the event were also flabbergasted!

Good heavens, had they gone blind?

Was this man really the notorious, unsightly, old disaster said to be over fifty years of age?

And, was that young lady by his side the National Goddess who had recently taken the internet by storm?

When had the National Goddess become his fiancée?

When had the notoriously woman-averse head of the Mo family gotten engaged?

There was a moment of silence in the comments, followed by a frenzy of messages.

The phone screen was filled with text, almost blocking out the figures on the screen.

[Ah! I’m blinded! This is Mo Zhixuan from the Mo family? He looks to be in his early thirties at most! And so handsome! Where did all those exaggerated rumors come from? This is the man of my dreams!]

[He is the embodiment of the domineering CEO straight out of TV! Tall, cold, and handsome—what a pity, this man isn’t mine.]

[Licking my screen!]

[Did you guys see the way Mo Zhixuan looks at the Goddess? Pure adoration! Ah, my youthful heart!]

[Is this really the head of the Mo family?]

[So handsome!]

[Explosively handsome!]

[Ah! My Goddess! Goddess!]

[Mo family’s master is truly hidden deep!]

[Holy moly! Where’s the reportedly unsightly mess? Damn it! It’s a betrayal to my imagination!]

[Haha, trolls, does your face hurt?]

[Such a magnificent reversal! This is the National Male God!]

[One is the National Goddess, the other is the National Male God—simply a perfect match!]

[I just want to know, who was the first to call Mo family’s master ugly? If Mo Zhixuan is ugly, am I even human? I must be a mythical beast!]

By now, Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin had arrived at the signature board.

The young lady dressed in a white reception outfit was initially shocked; then she handed them a marker and pointed to the board, saying, "Please leave your names here."

"Certainly," Chu Jin took the marker, nodding politely with a warm smile.

The ice-cold Mo Zhixuan also nodded slightly.

[Goddess’ smile is so warm and kind.]

[The Goddess is so polite.]

[People with high attractiveness even have poetic silhouettes!]

[Haha, this height difference is too cute!]

[Whoa! Am I the only one who feels like these two are a perfect match?]

[You’re not alone!]

[+1 to the above.]

[Have you noticed that when Director Mo looks at other people, he’s all cold, but when he looks at our Goddess, his eyes are filled with indulgence and gentleness, like he’s a totally different person!]

[Are you dumb? She’s his wife-to-be; of course, he would be gentle and indulgent. If he wasn’t, would he even earn a spot in the bed at night?]

[Wow! The Goddess’ handwriting is so beautiful!]

[Boss Mo’s is great too, it’s calligraphy-worthy.]
