Mo Beichen made his way up, encountering a few artists on the stairs. They recognized him, greeted him politely, and went down, not like Ge Yin, who would come up and be a nuisance.
He stood in the hallway on the second floor, noticing all the doors were closed. He frowned—where had Buhui gone?
The villa wasn't that big, nor was it small. At this moment, it was filled with guests. He walked around the second floor without seeing Buhui, thinking she might have taken the other stairway down.
He stood by the stairs, looking at the elegantly dressed crowd downstairs. Shen Jue, in a moon-white gown, weaved through the crowd, toasting and entertaining guests. As if sensing his gaze, she looked up and glanced over.
Mo Beichen immediately looked away, not because he felt guilty, but because he didn't want to provoke Shen Jue anymore. She seemed innocent but was full of schemes. He had previously sidelined her intentionally, to warn her not to target him.
