12 Chapter 12: Pretending To Be Something They’re Not?

Ten minutes later, the last remaining five people stopped in front of an office.

'Knock. Knock…'

"Young Master, the candidates to become the Young Lady are ready, please take a look,"

"Come in."

A deep voice sounded from within, it sounded a little familiar to Su Xiangwan.

The office was designed in a simple yet impressive modern style. In front of the large desk sat a tall and straight figure, he was studying the documents in his hands with his head down and didn't even bother to look up to see the female candidates that just entered.

There was a chillness in the atmosphere, this made the people waiting not to dare cause trouble or even complain.

Su Xiangwan waited a bit before she slowly lifted her head, her gaze fell onto Mu Beiting, she felt a little despondent.

This figure...

Had she seen it somewhere before?

But... exactly where did she see it?

She couldn't help but think that the figure looked extremely familiar, however, she just quite couldn't place where she it was from. This led to her thinking that it was probably just because she's seen one too many photos of the man in front of her from the newspapers and media during her two lifetimes.

Before she realized it, she was suddenly staring into a set of cold dark eyes.

Su Xiangwan's heart tightened, breathing was becoming difficult for her.

The moment Mu Beiting saw her, he froze for a moment as well, after a breath's worth of time, he then narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze deepened.

Su Xiangwan subconsciously wanted to bow her head in order to avoid his gaze. She had second thoughts regarding this instead and then quickly flashed him a smile that could enchant all beings.

She couldn't bow her head even if she was actually scared.

This was because she had studied men's psychological hunt for novelty, the more she stood out from the rest of the cattle, the more she could arouse his interest.

While facing her smile, Mu Beiting curled his lips and leaned back on the chair with a hint of entertainment in his eyes.

All of a sudden, everyone in the large office bowed their heads and started murmuring, only the two people's gaze met together while bursting with coldness.

"Miss Jiang, is this one of the people you've carefully selected?" He stared at Su Xiangwan as he faintly spoke.

"Yes, Young Master."

He chuckled upon hearing the response, "I remember that the Mu Family's first condition was that the candidates had to be a virgin, but... how is it that there seems to be someone here that's pretending to be something they're not?"

Su Xiangwan felt indescribably guilty, a thin layer of sweat was seeping from her forehead.

Does he know that her hymen had already been repaired?

How was this possible?

She entered the hospital fully equipped with a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. Her makeup was also so heavy that even her mother wouldn't be able to recognize her. How could this man know about it?

No… no.

She must be overthinking things, maybe he was talking about someone else.

Su Xiangwan was trying to reassure herself within her thoughts, however, Mu Beiting's gaze was locked on her face and didn't even show any signs of moving away..

Ms. Jiang hesitated for a moment before respectfully saying, "Young Master, I have already checked these people personally, I can confirm that I'm not mistaken."

Mu Beiting narrowed his eyes, she confirmed that there were no mistakes? This is interesting.

Yet at this time, Zhao Xinning, who was at the side, couldn't help but quietly lift her head. Upon seeing that Mu Beiting's gaze was firm and steady on Su Xiangwan, she frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel slightly anxious inside.

Where did this Su Xiangwan come out from!

She had clearly investigated the backgrounds of all the women participating, but she's never heard of this person before!

Seeing that Mu Beiting had already started to take a look at the other women, Ms. Jiang said in a low voice, "Raise your heads."

The moment the five women, except for Su Xiangwan, had seen Mu Beiting, all of them couldn't help but lose their minds.

Even Zhao Xinning, whose eyes seemed to have glued themselves on him, didn't even move away for a long time, it was as if she was deep in love.

Mu Beiting's eyes swept from one end to the other. When it fell on Zhao Xinning, she grew even more nervous and looked at him with anticipation.

Unfortunately, his gaze didn't even pause for a moment, and instead fell back right away on Su Xiangwan.
