"You've changed so much!"

Listening to the discussions among the men and women, and seeing Mrs. Risa's calm and smiling expression, Mu Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead. Good grief, so you want me to come and show off with you?

As expected, the beautiful, young, and charming Mrs. Risa, who had undergone a complete transformation and elevation of her life from the inside out, caused a sensation at the banquet.

At the same time, in the center of another group of people in the distance, Mrs. Risa's ex-husband, the man saw his ex-wife, whom he had divorced more than ten years ago, with a figure more beautiful and captivating than a young girl, and showed an expression of disbelief.

"How can it be……"

Chapter 196 The ex-husband is heartbroken!

"That's... Risa?"

Seeing his wife become the center of attention, the man's expression was as if he had seen a ghost—utterly astonished, shocked, and incredulous. He even thought he was hallucinating. Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could Risa Ogiwara suddenly become so…so…so beautiful?!

The most important reason he chose to divorce was that he lost interest in Risa Ogiwara. He preferred younger and prettier women outside his wife, so he abandoned her without hesitation, even though she was pregnant at the time.

He also used his status to attract younger and more beautiful women. Compared to the aging Risa Ogihara, who had been left with irreversible marks by time, he preferred those delicate and beautiful women.

Young, beautiful, and full of energy.

But what did he see now? Why did Risa, who was aging day by day, suddenly regain her youth? Her appearance was as if she had returned to her twenties, to her most beautiful moment.

No, it's even more beautiful than it was back then!

The woman he once despised now had skin smoother and more delicate than any girl in school, and her exquisite and beautiful features were flawless. It was clearly the same face, but it felt like he was seeing her and knowing her for the first time.

Familiar yet strange.

And her figure, a hot body with perfect proportions, is flawless. As for Risa Ogiwara's temperament, it has changed a lot. In addition to her mature and sexy temperament, she also has an indescribable, dreamlike feeling.

That's an intangible quality that comes from the evolution of life levels. Mu Xiaoxiao, Ruifei, and Lingnai all have it. For ordinary people, this unique quality will be a killer move for this man!

From her skin to her face, from her figure to her temperament, she transformed like Cinderella, causing the man great shock and bewilderment, and also making him feel intense regret—regret for divorcing Risa Ogihara and for abandoning this beautiful woman.

In his eyes, his ex-wife, whom he had once despised, was the most beautiful woman in the world, and all other women were like roadside weeds compared to her!

How could I have abandoned such a treasure of a woman for roadside weeds?

Seeing the people surrounding his ex-wife gradually disperse after she dismissed them, the man hesitated for a moment, then finally walked over to her and greeted her, "Risa..."

As he got closer, the man swallowed hard. Up close, she seemed even more beautiful, a true beauty, a combination of devil and angel, a femme fatale who could drive men mad. He could no longer suppress his restless heart and wanted to rekindle their past romance.

“Please don’t call me by my name,” Risa Ogihara said calmly, without anger or hatred, as the man approached her. “We’re not that close yet.”

“Risa…Ms. Ogiwara,” the man said, feeling inexplicably guilty after being glared at by her sharp eyes. He had no choice but to change his words, his eyes filled with complex emotions. “You’ve changed a lot.”

“Yes, I have indeed changed a lot, you should have noticed it too, but all of this is due to Xiaoxiao,” Mrs. Risa smiled. “On the contrary, you are still the same as before, always trying to chat up pretty women?”

The man looked embarrassed by these words and quickly explained, "It's not what you think, Ogiwara... I just..."

“No need to explain, I know you perfectly well. The fact that you came to chat me up means I’ve succeeded. How about it? You’re even prettier than before, aren’t you? You must be even more beautiful than your young wife,” Mrs. Ogihara Risa showed off her slender and sexy figure in front of the man. “These are all thanks to Koko.”

She wore a blissful expression, her eyes sparkling with intense love.

Her ex-husband remained silent for a long time before finally speaking in a hesitant voice, "Mu Xiaoxiao... that person, could it be... could it be that he's already with..."

The beautiful Mrs. Ogihara Risa blushed and smiled, "Yes, we've already done it... I'm his woman now."

"..."

The man's pupils contracted sharply. When he heard that his ex-wife had developed a physical relationship with that brat, he was instantly heartbroken. Even though he knew that Risa Ogihara had divorced him, he... just couldn't control the heartache.

"You actually... You should know how big the age gap is between you two, you..."

"So what?" Risa Ogihara said with a sneer. "Look at me now. Do I look out of place standing next to Koko? Do I look like a forty-year-old woman?"

Not at all.

Even a woman in her prime at twenty would be overshadowed by Madame Risa's charm.

Mrs. Risa's ex-husband also has something to say about this. His ex-wife suddenly transformed into Cinderella. It might not be the most appropriate way to put it, but it conveys a similar idea. Her extreme beauty made him unable to forget her and unable to let go.

Judging from Risa Ogihara's attitude, a shadow fell over the man's heart.

"To be honest, I regret it now... Ogiwara, we really can't go back..."

"Stop! Don't say such disgusting things in front of me. I'm embarrassed even if you're embarrassed, how can you say such things?" Risa Ogihara gracefully took two steps back, her face full of sarcasm. "The only person I love is Xiaoxiao, I love him so much~ There is no room for any other man in my heart but him, I'm sorry."

The middle-aged man's face turned ashen; he never imagined that one day such a brat would steal his love away.

Damn it! This little brat, even younger than my son, is making my ex-wife madly in love with him...

Mrs. Risa continued, "It's no use regretting it now, because this change only happened after you slept with Xiaoxiao. If you don't divorce me, you'll still be wearing a green hat, wouldn't that be even worse?"

"No, Risa, you're not that kind of woman. If we hadn't divorced, you wouldn't have cheated on me. I believe you! You're a perfect wife."

The man's voice boomed.

"Heh, isn't it too late to say all this now? Besides, no matter how much you praise me, I will never go back to the past with you. Apart from Xiaoxiao, there is no room for any other man in my heart. I love him, and I can feel that crazy and passionate feeling every moment. Compared to this feeling, my feelings for you before were nothing more than child's play."

Risa Ogihara licked her red lips seductively and giggled, "Besides, he's younger and more handsome than you, and his body is miles ahead of yours. What do you have that makes him so perfect?"

"In bed, he's like a wild beast, causing me both pain and pleasure, making me deeply addicted. Now, not only my emotions, but even my body has been tamed by him. I can't live without him anymore. That's how infatuated I am with my little man. As for you? Heh... a disgusting man like you can't even compare to one of his penises—"

"Shut up! Stop talking—!!!"

Chapter 197 Mysterious Beauty

Mu Xiaoxiao witnessed the confrontation between Mrs. Risa and her ex-husband, but he had no intention of getting involved. Given Mrs. Risa's disgust and hostility towards that man, and her infatuation and love for him, he was not worried at all that the two would rekindle their old flame.

Furthermore, given that the young woman's life had evolved and sublimated, and her strength and power had increased, Mu Xiaoxiao was different from the others at the banquet. He quickly looked away, not worried at all that the young woman would suffer a loss. To be honest, even if they fought right there, Mrs. Risa wouldn't lose.

His gaze casually swept over the men and women attending the banquet, then paused, settling on an elegant woman in a bright red gown. His eyes lingered on the beautiful woman's delicate face, her long hair flowing freely.

What a beautiful woman.

Even Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but marvel at the charm of that stranger. Her looks, figure, and temperament were all top-notch. She was also quite tall, and could even be described as a perfect woman.

You should know that she wasn't evolved by Mu Xiaoxiao.

However, this woman, like everyone else, was looking at Mrs. Risa, not only because of the riot, but also because of Risa Ogiwara's extraordinary charm. The special charm of that extraordinary life was too terrifying, a dimensional suppression for these ordinary people.

If it weren't for Mrs. Risa, Mu Xiaoxiao estimated that this graceful and elegant woman would have been the focus of the entire event. Unfortunately, Mrs. Risa stole the spotlight. Compared to this woman, most of the men's attention was on Ogihara Risa.

It was as if she possessed a magical power; otherwise, her ex-husband wouldn't have been so shameless as to approach her.

Mu Xiaoxiao quickly looked away. The woman in the elegant bright red dress was beautiful, but since she wasn't the leading lady he remembered, she didn't hold much interest for him. Beauty alone wasn't enough to attract him. While he wouldn't completely ignore her, he wouldn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

He had thought he wouldn't encounter any special leading ladies or supporting actresses at this kind of banquet, but he didn't see a single one; they were all extras. Mu Xiaoxiao found a seat, found some food, and began to enjoy it. There were many luxurious seafood dishes, but he didn't have much of an appetite. However, the A5-grade Kobe beef made his eyes light up.

I grabbed a bottle of sake and started eating and drinking to my heart's content—

However, he didn't know that when he turned his gaze away and began to enjoy his dinner, the beautiful woman he had just been observing suddenly turned her head and stared at Mu Xiaoxiao, her bright and charming eyes curiously scrutinizing Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't notice, or rather, even if she did, she didn't care. Like Madam Risa, Mu Xiaoxiao attracted a lot of attention when she entered the banquet hall. This young and handsome boy had the same unique charm as Madam Risa, and many of the women brought by the men stole glances at him.

He believed that if Mu Xiaoxiao extended an invitation, she would definitely be able to hook up with these socialites and spend a wonderful night... Unfortunately, he wasn't interested; the beef in his hand was much more appealing.

Hmm, in the eyes of these elegant socialites, even though Mu Xiaoxiao was wolfing down her food in a rude manner, she still exuded a unique charm, which was simply unbelievable.

"Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol."

The teasing voices and the fragrant breeze made him pause in his eating. Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and was surprised to see the woman in the red dress, which perfectly accentuated her figure, standing next to her with a smile, their eyes meeting.

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at her, then looked at the sake beside her, picked it up and chugged it down her throat—

"call--"

He put down the empty bottle, looking refreshed, as if deliberately provoking someone, "Sorry, I'm not Japanese, so the rule that you can't drink under twenty doesn't apply to me."

"Is that so? What a pity, I wanted to have a couple more drinks with you, but you drank too fast," the beautiful woman said with a radiant smile.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt that her smile was a bit fake. Maybe all businessmen are like that. He said indifferently, "If you really want to drink, just ask the waiter for a bottle. Remember to get the expensive one."

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and giggled, then suddenly changed the subject, "You came with Risa, right?"

"Ok?"

“I saw you come in together, and… you looked very close,” the woman’s bright eyes shifted slightly. “I have a good relationship with Risa and I know her well. I couldn’t believe it at the time. She’s always so bitter and resentful, and her thoughts are so extreme. She could actually have such a gentle expression.”

She paused here, and although she didn't say the rest, Mu Xiaoxiao could understand what she meant. She had obviously guessed that Mrs. Risa's change was related to me.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't answer, "And then?"

"I'm curious, but it's okay if you don't tell me... But is it alright over there?" Watching Ogihara Risa and her ex-husband face off in a tense standoff, feeling the tension in the air, the mysterious and elegant woman rested her smooth chin on her hand, a simple gesture that was surprisingly charming.

"That man is Risa's ex-husband."

It was also the culprit that caused Risa's personality to change drastically, and it's what has haunted her for so many years.

"I know, judging from their appearance, you don't think they'll rekindle their old flame, do you?" Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled.

"Of course not, but aren't you worried that the two of them will start fighting?"

"We're not childish kids, it's not that serious. We're all adults, there's no way we'd start a fight here."

Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao's words, the woman felt something was off. Why are you speaking so maturely? Compared to us, you're the one who's a child, about the same age as my daughter. Before the woman could finish her thought, she heard him continue, "Besides, if a fight really breaks out, Madam Risa won't lose."

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled proudly, "Madame Risa is no longer what she used to be."

"..."

Indeed, she could see that too. Whether it was the changes in Risa's personality or her appearance, it all made the woman's heart itch. She instinctively felt that these things must be related to the mysterious handsome young man in front of her.

What is their relationship? Why has Risa let go of her painful past memories? Why has she become so beautiful? What exactly happened to her? These questions intrigued the woman.

"What is your relationship?" she asked curiously. Rationally speaking, the age gap between the two was too big; they could be Risa's son. But the two of them were showing a close relationship, which made the woman quite curious.

"You can ask her yourself," Mu Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile.

"So mysterious..." the elegant and beautiful woman said with a hint of resentment, "Well, at least tell me your name, right?"

"Mu Xiaoxiao, what about you?" he asked casually.

“Mira Tsubakihara, although Risa and I are business partners, we are also good friends in private…”

Mu Xiaoxiao basically ignored what was said next; his chopsticks were frozen in mid-air.

Tsubakihara Mira?

Isn't this the name that Itsuki Shima mentioned several times? I heard she's a very shrewd businesswoman who's been eyeing the cult and is planning to recruit her.

So it was her?

No update for one day

I just got home from taking care of an elderly person at the hospital. I'll be updating a lot in the last two days of the month!
