The afternoon meeting in Hauptmann's lasted for almost an hour.
spent the entire process of the meeting and didn't even glance in her direction from the corner of his eyes. After the meeting ended, Lin Wan Bai and the supervisor left, just like before. Huo Chang Yuan and Jiang Fang coincidentally followed along, saying that they could take them along the way for a while.
She was once again placed between the two of them.
However, the only difference was that after Huo Chang Yuan got on the carriage, he closed his black eyes and didn't open them even after they got off the carriage.
After closing the car door, Lin Wan Bai turned his head back, only to see the outline of his resolute profile, without a single expression, his entire body emitted a coldness that could not be approached.
Once again, she clenched her fingers. What was she looking forward to?
That's the best way to...
Lin Wan Bai switched his phone to the other side, and had to remind him, "Huo Chang Yuan, we are no longer related to each other anymore …"
"Yeah, I know." Huo Chang Yuan
"…" Lin Wan Bai did not know how to continue.
Just as he was hesitating over whether to continue the call, he spoke again on the other end of the line. "How do you cook the noodles?"
"Huh?" Lin Wan Bai was stunned.
"The kind you always cook for me." Huo Chang Yuan paused for a moment, then continued, "I have already bought the noodles and eggs, what should I do with the scallion?"
"You … You want me to boil it? " Lin Wan Bai asked him in surprise.
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan replied very quietly.
After obtaining a definite answer, Lin Wan Bai was unable to conceal her astonishment. She swallowed two mouthfuls and stuttered, "I need to wash the spring onion first and then cut it into pieces …"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of water splashing could be heard from the other end of the line, followed by the sound of a kitchen knife landing on the cutting board.
"And then?"
Lin Wan Bai still could not believe that he was really cooking the noodles, and almost subconsciously continued, "Then, you'll put water in the pot, and after boiling it, you'll beat the eggs first. After the eggs are boiled, you'll put the noodles in the pot, and remember to use your chopsticks to stir them …"
"You just need to punch the egg directly in?" Huo Chang Yuan asked her.
"Right …" Lin Wan Bai replied.
Just like before, sounds continued to ring out from the other end of the line.
However, this time, the noise was rather loud, and there was the sound of the lid hitting each other.
Lin Wan Bai couldn't help but think that he had once told himself that he had to learn how to fix toilets and change light bulbs when he was studying abroad.
Just like a little kid, every step Huo Chang Yuan took, he would ask her.
Lin Wan Bai was unable to hang up the phone, she had no choice but to keep talking. Finally, she heard the sound of the lid of the pot. She held her phone, "I've already taught you to cook the noodles …. Is there anything else? "If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up …"
After two seconds, she checked her cell phone.
Huo Chang Yuan had died first.
He was still as domineering as ever, not allowing others to hang up on him first.
Biting his lips, Lin Wan Bai placed his phone to the side. When Lin Wan Bai lowered his head and prepared to eat the box rice again, he realized that it was already cold.
The lights were on, the most luxurious restaurant in the city center.
When Lin Wan Bai got off work, he was called over by the supervisor to participate in the meal. He said that he wouldn't allow her to accompany him in drinks, and was only responsible for serving the leaders.
The location was set on the second floor. After entering, he didn't wait long before hanging up and going out to greet him.
She also hurriedly stood up from her seat. Not long later, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and quite a few of the leaders who were invited tonight came in.
He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes with the tallest figure in them.
Huo Chang Yuan...
Even though he was the last one, he still stood alone in the group.
It was as if he had always been like this. No matter where he was, he would always have the ability to let others see him at first glance. Everything around him automatically faded into a background.
Just like when he saw her in the conference room, Huo Chang Yuan didn't even look at her before he directly went to the most innermost dining chair and sat down.
The others sat down after him.
The meal started quickly. Lin Wan Bai did not use the waiter, but rather, he poured wine for the leader one by one from the wine bottle.
Along the way, there were some people asking concernedly, "Hutong, how are you?"
"I'm getting a little impatient." Huo Chang Yuan placed his hand on his stomach.
Lin Wan Bai could not help but look over at him, frowning slightly, as though he was extremely uncomfortable.
After drinking another cup of wine to him, Huo Chang Yuan put down the cup of wine and stood up, "Sorry, you guys continue. My stomach isn't feeling very well, I'll go to the washroom first."
He then strode out of the room.
Lin Wan Bai poured wine and was about to sit down, when the supervisor handed him a packet of tissue, "Xiao Lin, help me check on Hutong!"
"I …" She bit her lip.
"Go quickly, you can't get away without seeing me!" The supervisor directly placed the tissue into her hands, then turned around and picked up the wine glass again. It was warm and ingratiating, "Director Zhang, no need. I'll definitely drink this wine …"
Lin Wan Bai held onto the tissue in his hand. Since there was nothing he could do, he could only bite the bullet and walk out of the room.
The bathroom was at the end of the hallway and Huo Chang Yuan was currently bent over the sink outside. He was still wearing the white shirt and when the light shone on it, the muscles on his back could be vaguely seen.
The mirror only reflected his hair, so it was impossible to see the expression on his face.
Lin Wan Bai slowed down his pace and walked closer, "Hutong, are you alright?"
"Hm." Huo Chang Yuan said vaguely.
Seeing that, Lin Wan Bai could only continue walking forward a few steps, "The manager asked me to come over to see you, do you need any help?"
"Help me hand over that bottle of water." Huo Chang Yuan did not raise his head, he only raised his hand.
Lin Wan Bai saw a bottle of mineral water following the direction he pointed.
"Oh …" She reached for it.
After opening the lid, he handed it over to him, "Hutong, I'll give you water …"
"Feed me."
These two familiar words were somewhat ear-piercing to the ears at this moment.
Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips, placed the bottle of mineral water beside the hand basin and clenched his teeth, "I'll put it here, you can drink it yourself!"
With that, she turned and left.
With her wrist grabbed, and without knowing how he did it, Lin Wan Bai only felt a force pulling her to spin around subconsciously, facing him again. Out of the corner of her eyes, it was him who picked up the bottle of mineral water and brought it to her lips.
No...
Lin Wan Bai shouted in his heart.
But it was already too late, Huo Chang Yuan's lips quickly fell.
When the kiss came, not only was there the smell of the wine, but also the taste of the water that had just been drunk.
This was what he always said, "Hey, hey …"
Lin Wan Bai opened his eyes wide, in that moment of distraction, his tongue had already begun moving wildly.
The familiar sensation hit her in an instant, and in a matter of seconds, a feeling of hopelessness spread throughout her body. She couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself.
Just as she was about to push him away with all her might, Huo Chang Yuan had already let go of her and possessed her, "Do you miss me?"
