C59

Walking out of the residential complex, he saw Xie Langxuan's car parked beside it. He was dressed in a black suit, leisurely leaning against the door of the car.

The handsome driver immediately earned the attention of the passersby.

Upon hearing the sound of footsteps, Xie Langxuan turned his head around, but when he saw who it was, he became stunned.

Her long black hair was tied up high in the air with a simple butterfly hairpin. Two strands of hair fell down from her ears, giving off a gentle atmosphere.

The pink petal light muslin dress drew a beautiful arc after another as she moved.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, she slowly walked over. Her cheeks were rosy, and her footsteps were light. She was like a young girl who had never seen the world. Her beauty was breathtaking.

Only when he was right in front of her did he regain his senses. His heart was pounding rapidly as he met her beautiful eyes.

However, he maintained a pleasant surprise on his face. He didn't dare express it too clearly for fear of scaring her.

"An An, you are so beautiful today, it makes me think of a poem."

Hearing his words, Ji An felt rather embarrassed.

"When the clear water produces the Hibiscus, it naturally goes to carve."

It was rare for anyone to praise him in such a refined manner. Ji An's cheeks slightly blushed. "I'm not as good as you say. Don't tease me."

Even now, this was the first time he had seen her smile so courteously and not so estranged. He could not help but say, "Heaven and earth can be known, what I have said is the truth of the heart."

"Oh?" Ning slowly recovered from his initial shyness. Laughing, he asked, "Has anyone ever said that you are very good at speaking?"

"Can I take that as a compliment?"

"Sure."

"I'm glad of that."

Ji An couldn't help but laugh.

"That beautiful lady, please allow me to open the car door for you." Xie Langxuan bowed slightly and opened the door for her.

He was the most English gentleman she had ever known.

After the two of them got on the car, they headed straight for the restaurant.

By the time he got there, most of the people in charge of the project were already in position.

Everyone let out sighs of amazement when Ji An appeared.

As they were all members of the daily communication, they spoke very casually.

"An An, the moment you appeared, you managed to beat all the women present!" Pi Yiming exaggerated.

"You're right, but I'm the only girl present. Pi Yiming, don't you think your conscience will hurt if you say that?" Qiu Feiyu acted as if she wanted to grab his ear, and Pi Yiming immediately ran behind Li Yi for cover.

Qiu Feiyu glared at him, then stepped forward and warmly held Ji Anan's arm. She whispered, "An An, be honest. Why are you here with Director Xie?"

"What are you thinking about? We just happened to pass by on our way here."

"Along the way?" Qiu Feiyu's eyes widened as she pointed in disbelief, "Director Xie left work an hour earlier today, and I remember your home is on the other side of the city. No matter what, you won't be able to reach your home!"

Looking in the direction where Qiu Feiyu was pointing at, Xie Langxuan was currently conversing with someone else. Seemingly aware of her gaze, he turned his head and gave her a gentle smile before continuing the conversation.

Ji An didn't think much about it at first, but after what happened just now, she suddenly became somewhat perplexed. Could it be that it was because of his cousin that Xie Langxuan took care of her?

"It's about time, and the other party is about to arrive. Everyone, take a seat!"

After Xie Langxuan finished speaking, everyone sat down in an orderly manner.

Qiu Feiyu was sitting to the left and the right side of Ji An was empty. Xie Langxuan walked over and sat down. He smiled at her and said, "I heard the lobster here are very famous. You'll have a taste later."

"Alright."

Just at this moment, the room's door was pushed open by someone.

Two smartly dressed men walked in. They were obviously the elite.

Everyone's face stiffened. Just as they were about to greet them, the two of them stepped to the side, and a man in a custom-made black suit appeared in their line of sight.

Her chestnut short hair shone in the light, and her eyebrows raised, revealing a hint of elegance. However, a faint smile hung on her face, suppressing her charm.

It was the same black colour, but it had two different aesthetic feelings.

Xie Langxuan gave off a feeling as warm as jade, while he unknowingly gave off an aura that showed that he did not place anyone in his eyes.

Just as everyone was awestruck at the appearance of this man, Ji An was instantly shocked. Why was he here?

When Qiu Feiyu and the others saw who it was, they had their doubts. Wasn't this the pretty boy who came to pick An An Xin up last time?

Teng Yiyang's gaze swept over everyone present indifferently. Only when his gaze landed on Ji An, his bewitching eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, but it quickly disappeared.

He walked forward and nodded to the crowd, "Hello, I am the manager of the Teng Clan, Teng Yiyang. It is my pleasure to invite the elites of your company to a meal together."

Xie Langxuan subconsciously looked towards Ji Anan. Then, he quickly stood up and extended his hand towards Teng Yiyang. "I am Xie Langxuan. It is a pleasure to meet you, Chief Teng."

The two of them held each other's hand for a while, and then separated very quickly.

Ji An tightly gripped the bag in his hands. This person's words were rather beautiful, polite, and decent. Why was he so domineering and shameless in front of her? It was as if they were two different people.

Qiu Feiyu's mouth was wide open? The Crown Prince … Teng Jia Village? Only he would dare to say that this five-star hotel was just a casual meal!

She immediately turned her head to look at Ji Anan, using her eyes to indicate to him, 'Aren't you hiding your skills a bit too deeply?' He actually knew such a big shot! Moreover, it was just a meal, yet they already dispatched the Teng Clan's big BOSS. It could be seen that they did not have the intention to drink wine!

Right now, Ji An was at a loss for words. He could hear Teng Yiyang and Xie Langxuan greeting each other as they sat down. Fortunately, the dishes had been served, otherwise, she would have to quietly make wooden puppets.

"I really appreciate the cartoon of your investment this time. I hope that we can cooperate happily in the future."

As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently fell on her.

Xie Langxuan smiled and said, "I, too, have great expectations for this adaptation. I thank Chief Teng for his support."

"You're welcome. This time, we're mainly here to meet our partners. Chief Xie, aren't you going to introduce your team?" Teng Yi Yang's gaze drifted past Ji An's head, which was still buried in the food. He spoke with a smile.

Xie Langxuan began to introduce the people. After introducing them, he finally arrived at the people beside him. He looked at Teng Yiyang with a strange expression, but still introduced him as usual. "This is the original creator of the comics, Sleeping Wind, Miss Ji Anji."

Teng Yi raised his body and extended his hand towards her. "I didn't expect that it would be such a young author. It's my pleasure to meet you."

"How are you?" Ji An looked at the manicured hand in front of him, unwilling to shake it.

You're going to be stingy to him with just a few words?

When she wanted to retract her hand, Teng Yiyang grabbed her fingers tightly, preventing her from escaping.

He couldn't be thinking of another scheme, right?

Seeing that she no longer lowered her head and was willing to face him directly, Teng Yi Yang curled his lips and said word by word, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ji."

After saying that, he released his hand. His gaze did not linger on her body as he continued to talk about the changes in the market with Xie Langxuan. It was as if she was truly someone he had just met.

Although he hadn't done anything, at this moment, her mind began to grow restless.
