You Are Deep in The Stars - Chapter 57

During the ride from the first floor to the 18th floor, Mark Li complained again about the attire of his soul friend, questioning why he hadn’t come in gorgeous clothes. “This white suit really looks like he’s attending a wedding, not a ball.”

“Because the size is not suitable,” Mr. Han answered for him. When he said this, his smile was actually very kind, and he did not want to threaten the poor director. However, because the auras of the two were so different, Mark Li still felt a chill on his back and silently hid behind Bai Xi.

Han Zhuo: “…”

When the elevator door opened, the actors on the stage were performing. It was the second scene in the forest. The hunter was cruising along with the morning light, leaving the evil spirits nowhere to escape and letting thousands of golden waves sprinkle on the sea.

Liang Yi held the wine glass and said with great confidence, “Will Xiao Ma really like my way of dressing up?”

“Of course, because you are the fairy king Oberon in mythology,” Zhuang Yan reminded. “This is a masquerade ball, not your operating room. Please try to be lively; my little Pony doesn’t like a lifeless atmosphere.”

Liang Yi quickly showed an extremely bright smile.

As grand music played, Mark Li and Bai Xi walked through the crowd, who were applauding enthusiastically, smiling as if they were participating in a float parade in the forest.

Liang Yi’s expression froze for a moment, and his eyes instinctively glanced elsewhere, and sure enough, he saw Han Zhuo next to the wine table.

“Pony is here; get ready,” Zhuang Yan tugged on his sleeve.

“…Who is the man next to Xiao Ma?” Liang Yi asked casually. “His friend?”

“Oh, that’s Xiao Bai, the young boss of Huanchen Group. I just found out that Xiao Ma is a good friend with him,” Zhuang Yan said. “He wants to get to know me through Xiao Ma. He sounds like a hard-working young man.”

Liang Yi nodded and glanced at Han Zhuo calmly, only to see that he hadn’t moved or looked away from Bai Xi.

“Where is the sponsor?” Young Master Bai asked again.

Mark Li said sadly, “I hate you businessmen who are full of copper Odor.”

Bai Xi’s expression didn’t change, and he stepped on his foot heavily.

Mark Li shed tears because he only wore a pair of very ancient Greek hemp rope slippers, which were no match for Xiao Bai’s leather shoes.

“Hurry up!” Bai Xi urged.

“Okay, okay, please wait a moment; I have to say hello first.” Mark Li settled his savage best friend in the booth. “Five minutes.”

Bai Xi waved his hand and let him go readily.

Mark Li held a sceptre and solemnly walked toward his mother.

Liang Yi asked in a panic, “Pony is dragging a stick; is he going to hit me?”

Zhuang Yan sighed with a headache. He worked overtime and read Shakespeare to gain knowledge. Why was he still so boring?

“Mom,” Mark Li said.

Liang Yi showed a kind smile.

“Hello, uncle.” Mark Li nodded, and before Liang Yi could answer, he dragged Zhuang Yan away. “My friend wants to get to know you.”

Liang Yi: “…”

“Xiao Ma!” Zhuang Yan stumbled along the way and said dissatisfied, “You kid, why don’t you have any manners?”

“To test him,” Mark Li lowered his voice, “and see if he would be stunned by the little girl at the dance without you.”

Zhuang Yan emphasized, “Your Uncle Niu is not that kind of person.”

“Last time you said Uncle Zhu was an honest man, but what happened?” Mark Li had a fierce expression on his face. “You want to be in the tabloids again?!”

The domineering female CEO immediately said, “I will listen to you.”

Mark Li pressed her on the sofa. “Let me introduce you; this is my beloved soul friend, Bai Xi.”

“Xiao Bai, I know.” Zhuang Yan smiled dignifiedly and returned to her usual noble posture. “Hello.”

“Ms. Zhuang.” Bai Xi handed over his business card with both hands and said respectfully, “I have long heard from Director Ma that there is someone behind him, but I didn’t expect it to be you.”

“Most people wouldn’t think of it.” Zhuang Yan ordered three glasses of wine and said in a loving tone, “Xiao Ma doesn’t want others to know about my relationship with him and is worried that those tabloids will write about it. So, this time, he is willing to introduce me to you, which shows that he really regards you as a good friend. I also ask Mr. Bai to take more care of my son in the future.”

While listening to the first half, Bai Xi was still thinking about the bloody love affair between the overbearing female CEO and the down-and-out young director. Until the last sentence, all the plots fell to the ground and smashed to pieces. He was surprised from the bottom of his heart, but in addition to being surprised, there was also some profound self-examination—this was actually a mother and son?

“Then you guys know each other; Mom, you should pay more attention to Mr. Bai when you have business in the future.” Mark Li couldn’t wait to say, “The next step is a wonderful dance time; please put away your naked smell of money; I need the big forest’s pure fragrance.”

“No problem.” Zhuang Yan stood up and shook hands with Bai Xi cordially. “If you need help with anything, please call me at any time.”

“Thank you,” Bai Xi nodded.

Zhuang Yan ruffled her hair and turned around to return to her boyfriend, but she couldn’t find him for a long time.

“Just like my guess!” Mark Li gasped. “He was seduced away so quickly?”

Zhuang Yan elegantly raised her high heels and gave her son’s ancient Greek right foot another fatal blow.

Mark Li was blood-spattered on the spot and burst into tears.

After all these years, when would she be able to change his habit of focusing on sex over him?
