Chapter 169: Launch
The more guests arrived, the more stunned the viewers got. Also, even the people that were in the hall were surprised that the owner had been able to get these people to come.
By the time the hall was occupied, Rong Yue was certain that she hadn't sent any of these people invitations.
Even Sun Li was stunned silly. "Yue'er, even my family wouldn't be able to get all of these people in one room. Are you selling immortality?" She asked with bulging eyes as guest after guest came in.
Rong Yue said nothing, but her eyes deepened and she pulled her phone out of her pocket. She sent a message to Qin Yichen and when his reply came, she couldn't help the small smile that tugged at the corner of her lips.
Sometimes, she didn't want to let go, afraid that she would suffer the same fate as before. But now, she was going to take this as heaven's way of making it up to her.
Life had been too tragic the first time. Surely, the heavens couldn't let her suffer the same fate again right?
Also, after she had rushed ahead to save him from The Viridian, she had known that there was little she could do to deceive herself anymore.
Because of this, she was finally getting determined to let her heart love.
"Xiao Yue, if your business launch is this grand, I wonder what your eighteenth coming of age party would be like," Sun Li murmured. Awe swimming in her eyes.
Just when they thought all the guests had arrived, a certain limited edition car parked in front of their store with three cars accompanying him.
Anyone with eyes could easily tell that this was an important guest and the cameras flocked towards the car.
One of the accompanying cars opened and rushed to open the door for the car in the middle.
Several cameras and humans watched as one white leg after the other was brought out of the car.
When that devilishly beautiful face was revealed to the world, the crowd online and physical went into a frenzy.
From the second floor where Rong Yue was watching everything, she kissed her teeth, a slight trace of anger and amusement on her face. "He really came," she mumbled, her eyes watching the eye catching figure that stepped out of the car.

As though sensing her gaze, Mo Yifan raised his head up and his eyes met her on the second floor.
He sent a wink and a smile to her that made Rong Yue's face harden with anger. "The bastard!" She cursed in her heart. Wondering why he would do something like that with all the camera light that was on him.
Even Sun Li turned to look at Rong Yue in suspicion. "Did that guy just wink at you?" She asked, her eyes revealing her worry.
The outside world might not know and just take Mo Yifan as the big boss of a conglomerate that was devastatingly handsome. However, for someone like her with a military background. She knew that DRK dabbled in a lot more than just business.
In fact, the business was insignificant beside the web of underworld power that the man held in his hands.
"It can't possibly be me," Rong Yue lied.
"Let's go back downstairs," she added right after, pulling Sun Li out of the room.
Qin Yichen came when the event had started and all of the reporters were already inside. However, there were some bystanders outside that saw this man with an appearance that was even better than Mo Yifan enter the store.
"Seems like another big shot has arrived! Who is he?" Someone asked, their eyes shining with gossip.
However, Qin Yichen had really come in a low key manner. By the time people noticed him slipping in, he was already at the entrance. In the end, someone that wanted to take picture only managed to get his back view.
When he entered the hall, Mayor Bo and some others that had met him physically immediately stood up to greet him.
Although he wasn't the president, the influence the Qin Family held in the country was massive and even the president would think twice when matters concerned them.
Also, their foreign influence was even more frightening making them a person that a lot of people respected.
Rong Yue looked at him from where she was, her eyes taking in the familiar figure and she didn't even realise that her eyes had softened.
"Seems like someone has been putting in too much effort behind my back?" A low and husky voice said behind her startling Rong Yue.
She rolled her eyes as she turned and met Mo Yifan standing behind her.
"It's only been a month since I last met you and you seem to have given your heart away, was I not clear about my intentions well enough?" Mo Yifan continued, his hands stretched forward as though he wanted to touch her.
Rong Yue stepped back, avoiding contact with him.
"It's rumored that Young Master Mo hates human contact the most,"
"It seems like we really cannot believe what the rumors says."
Seeing her angry and fierce expression, Mo Yifan smiled even harder. "There's no way you expect me to stay away from my woman to be,"
Rong Yue rolled her eyes and stepped back even more.
"Please watch your words, people that don't know would misunderstand,"
Thankfully, the store launch was filled with more of the older generations and there was not a lot of looking around. But even then, Mo Yifan's closeness to Rong Yue already made the Song siblings uncomfortable. After all, they knew who the man was.
Also, Song Jian felt a little guilty as he felt that it was because of him that she had interacted with a man like this.
"I seem to remember Miss Yue threatening to kill my men, I already asked the others to dig a large grave for them in advance," Mo Yifan said his eyes swirling with mischief.
Before Rong Yue could reply, another voice interrupted. "The grave would still serve its purpose if they don't disappear along with you after tonight," Qin Yichen said with venom sipping through his words.
He had always considered himself a gentleman, but just seeing how close Mo Yifan was standing to his Xiao Yue made him want to send him flying across the room.
However, unlike normal people, Mo Yifan didn't seem to be affected by Qin Yichen's threat. Instead, he straightened up and met his gaze.
"Despite how hard you tried to keep me away from being here today, it's nice to meet you again, Young Master Qin," Mo Yifan said with his hands extended out for an handshake.
Rong Yue looked between both men, a little confused as her mind worked at a speed of light.
It was not hard for her to understand what was happening after some minutes. Clearly, Qin Yichen had guessed that Mo Yifan would make an appearance here and tried to stop him in advance.
Just thinking about it made the corners of her lips raise with a smile.
