OFR – Chapter 219 So young

2:00 PM.

Mu Bai drove into the residential community where Xu Jinhuan lived.

This wasn’t a high-end neighborhood, so the entry and exit of people and vehicles were fairly casual.

However, perhaps because the Bugatti Veyron was just too eye-catching, no sooner had Mu Bai parked his car in a space than a young property management worker came over.

The young man visibly froze for a few seconds when he saw Mu Bai step out of the Bugatti Veyron.

It was clear that the car owner’s age was far different from what he had expected.

“Hmm? Can I help you?”

Mu Bai, having just gotten out of the car, turned slightly and softly asked the young man in the property uniform.

“Oh—no, nothing really. I just came over to ask who you’re looking for. If you’re not familiar with the area, I can guide you. I’m Xiao Jia from the property office.”

The young man quickly responded after snapping back to his senses.

Although the man in front of him seemed younger than expected—perhaps even younger than himself—the long-standing psychological awe toward wealth and power caused his voice to involuntarily carry a hint of flattery.

“Thanks for the offer, but that won’t be necessary. I’ve been here before.”

Mu Bai calmly nodded in response to the young man’s somewhat flattering words, though he didn’t mention he was here to see Xu Jinhuan.

Because as far as he knew, Xu Jinhuan—though not young anymore—was still single.

Being single at thirty was already enough to invite gossip behind one’s back.

So he didn’t want to give people more reason to spread baseless rumors about Xu Jinhuan.

After all, rumors can be frightening.

“Oh, alright then. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Sorry for the disturbance.”

The young man, sensing the polite rejection, sensibly prepared to walk away.

“It’s fine,” Mu Bai said with a nod, and without wasting more time, he turned and walked toward the apartment building where Xu Jinhuan lived.

Meanwhile, upstairs—

Inside the apartment, Xu Jinhuan was already waiting in the living room with a man who appeared to be in his forties, looking gentle and cultured.

The two of them were quietly chatting about gaming while waiting for Mu Bai to arrive.

The man’s name was Yun Wenxi. He was a partner and lead game planner at a game studio.

Moreover, his studio—Yunzhan Games—was doing much better than Xu Jinhuan’s studio in terms of operations. He earned over two million yuan annually in dividends.

So he was, by most standards, a professionally successful man.

But despite his success, Yun Wenxi, who appeared composed, actually seemed a bit nervous upon closer inspection.

Not the kind of nervousness you’d feel before meeting an important figure—but more like the kind of nervousness a shy virgin might feel in the presence of a beautiful woman.

At the moment, his mouth was dry.

He kept sipping hot tea from the table to hide his unease.

Though Yun Wenxi wasn’t young anymore and had a family of his own, he should have long outgrown the jitters brought on by beauty.

Plus, as a game planner, he already knew that Xu Jinhuan—the owner of Yuncheng Game Studio—was a stunningly beautiful woman.

Initially, he wasn’t overly concerned. He’d seen plenty of attractive women before, and he came here strictly to talk business.

But the moment he stepped through the door and got his first close-up look at Xu Jinhuan, he realized just how stunning this woman really was.

Her looks and figure needed no elaboration.

What truly stunned him was her seductive charm.

That charm made Xu Jinhuan seem like a ripe, luscious peach—radiating a kind of fatal allure from head to toe.

Any man who got close to her would naturally feel a surge of sexual tension.

Fortunately, Yun Wenxi was experienced and a family man. He took two deep breaths to calm himself and forced down his desires, then smiled and got back to talking business.

“Mmhmm, Miss Xu, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry—although Taigu Xianyuan is a browser game, we’ve already partnered with major platforms like Tencent Empire, 360 Browser Games, and 4399. The closed beta went smoothly, and feedback from testers has been positive. We’re just waiting for funding to kick off online promotions before the official open beta. Also, didn’t you recently have someone conduct a private investigation into Taigu Xianyuan?”

“Yes, that’s right. I apologize for the private investigation. I just wanted to ensure the investment would go smoothly.”

Xu Jinhuan said with a hint of apology.

“It’s fine. Your friend is investing in our game—doing your homework is the responsible thing to do. Honestly, I’m really curious about this Mr. Mu you keep mentioning. I’ve never heard you praise anyone so highly before.”

Yun Wenxi smiled as he spoke—though he meant every word.

He really was curious about the man who could earn such admiration from someone as beautiful and accomplished as Xu Jinhuan.

Just what kind of man could that be?

He was certainly wealthy—after all, not many people could casually invest several million yuan into a game.

But beyond that, Yun Wenxi didn’t make any assumptions.

As a seasoned game planner, he knew that jumping to conclusions often led to countless “bugs”—unexpected outcomes that ruined the experience.

So he simply smiled and waited for Xu Jinhuan’s reply.

Just as she was about to speak, the doorbell rang.

A hint of joy appeared on Xu Jinhuan’s beautiful face. She quickly got up with a smile and said, “He’s here.”

Then she briskly walked over to open the door.

Yun Wenxi also stood up and looked toward the entrance.

Soon, a well-proportioned, clean-cut young man appeared at the door.

But once he saw the young man clearly, the smile on Yun Wenxi’s face gave way to an expression of complete astonishment.

Even though he hadn’t guessed what kind of person Mr. Mu might be, the sheer youthfulness of the man before him was something he found hard to believe.
