Mu Yan was unfamiliar with most foreign celebrities, but she maintained the appropriate courtesy.
The handsome guy's name was Cruise, and he spoke Chinese, openly praising Mu Yan's beauty.
Mu Yan smiled slightly, saying that he was also very handsome.
Cruise seemed very happy and started chatting with her about movies, praising her acting and claiming to be a fan of hers.
Mu Yan didn't like the way he looked at her, though she felt he meant no harm.
But as a married woman, she didn't need any affection from other men.
So, her words gradually became fewer, and she replaced conversations with smiles whenever possible.
However, Cruise didn't seem to notice her perfunctory responses and continued chatting enthusiastically, even inviting her to have a drink at a bar that evening.
Bars were places where serendipitous encounters or "one-night stands" often happened. They were more open abroad compared to back home, and people didn't think much of it.
