Charlie was increasingly bewildered, pondering, “What on earth are you thinking? Are you hungry again? Are you attempting to mislead Lao Tzu’s aura?” Nanako Ito noticed his perplexed expression as he examined the in ring in his hand and couldn’t help but inquire again, “Mr. Charlie, is there something special about this ring?”


    Snapping back to reality, Charlie replied with a casual grin, “Oh, it’s nothing significant. I just found this rather unimpressive item in the aisle earlier, and now I’m debating whether to keep it or toss it.”


    Nanako Ito smiled and suggested, “Why not hand it over to the police? They have a lost and found where the original owner might be located.”


    With a light chuckle, she added, “But I doubt the owner even remembers it anymore.”


    She then tucked the ring back into her pocket and said to Nanako, “Forget about it; let’s head out. The elevator hall in front leads to the building number Mr. Tanaka sent us.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    At that moment, Sister Xian drove the nanny car out of the basement.


    As the car emerged from the basement, sunlight flooded in through the windshield, prompting both women in the back seat to exhale in relief, thinking, “That was close!”


    They were both on edge from unexpectedly seeing Charlie, but their reactions were quite different. Lin Wan’er (ni) felt entirely at ease, while Mia (Liu Manqiong) experienced a twinge of unease.


    Mia was unsure who the woman walking alongside Charlie had been, but instinctively, she believed that the woman was likely Charlie’s wife.


    Nanako Ito’s beauty and presence were nearly unparalleled among Asian women.


    If Lin Wan’er (ni) represented the epitome of authentic Chinese ssical beauty, then Nanako Ito personified the unique blend of intellectual allure and graceful obedience characteristic of Japan’s Yamato Nadeko.<fndb2a> Latest content published on fι?dnοvel</fndb2a>


    Though Mia (Liu Manqiong) was already a prominent figure among the new generation of young women on Hong Kong Ind, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of inferiority in Nanako Ito’s presence.


    With thoughts of Charlie’s exceptional wife weighing on her, she felt a tinge of difort.


    Lin Wan’er (ni) noticed Mia’s subtle changes in demeanor and expression.


    When the car was still in the basement, Lin Wan’er had refrained from speaking, knowing that Charlie possessed a strong aura and keen senses—she worried he might overhear her words.


    However, now that they were outside, she feltpletely at ease and yfully teased Mia (Liu Manqiong), saying, “Sister Mia, what’s going on with you? You seem fine, but yourplexion has suddenly changed!”


    Mia (Liu Manqiong) quickly responded, “Is something wrong?”


    “Maybe… maybe I’m just really hungry…”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) continued to tease her, “I thought you were smitten by that handsome guy who walked past our car just now!”


    “Huh?!” Mia (Liu Manqiong) stammered, “Where… how could that be… I didn’t even notice if there was a handsome guy…”


    “Oh, it was that attractive man who walked by our car in the basement just moments ago. He was quite good-looking,” Lin Wan’er (ni) remarked casually.


    “Really… is that so…” Mia (Liu Manqiong) replied flustered, “I didn’t see him; I was a bit distracted earlier…”


    “Alright,” Lin Wan’er (ni)ughed, “Next time a handsome guy strolls by, I’ll be sure to let you know right away.”
