Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Hot Commodity

Xu Ke took a glass of champagne from the waiter’s hand and hadn’t even found a relatively quiet place to stay before being stopped by someone.

"You look unfamiliar to me; I’ve never seen you before. Is this your first time here?" A woman wearing a set of jade jewelry stopped Xu Ke, smiling as she chatted him up.

When she wasn’t smiling, it was fine. But when she did, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes emerged uncontrollably, making her look several years older. Standing next to Xu Ke, she looked like she could be his mother.

"It is indeed my first time in Shangzhou," Xu Ke nodded, confirming her guess.

When the woman heard Xu Ke say this, her eyes suddenly brightened. She looked at Xu Ke with an unrestrained gaze, as if appraising a satisfactory product, evaluating its worth.

"Since it’s your first time in Shangzhou, you must not be very familiar with this place. Here’s my card; if you’re interested, I can make time to show you around." As she spoke, the woman extended a hand with red-painted nails, slipping a card into Xu Ke’s jacket pocket, her fingers drawing a circle on his chest suggestively.

Xu Ke was so freaked out by her gesture that his hair stood on end. Looking at her rather plain face, his stomach churned, and he lost any desire to have a drink.

Just as Xu Ke was about to refuse, the cold voice of Xing Yujun interrupted, "I was just looking for you. How did you end up here alone?" Xing Yujun walked over from behind the woman and, standing beside Xu Ke, finally acted as if she just noticed the woman, speaking in surprise, "Isn’t that President Guo? Why are you standing here instead of socializing over there?"
