In the box upstairs, the sound of glasses clinking could be heard after three rounds of drinking.
Jiang Fang, who was sitting on a chair, would turn his gaze towards the boss beside him from time to time and carefully observe his expression.
The scene they would see on the way up would still appear before their eyes. It would be so harmonious that it would seem like a family of three. Although the BOSS didn't say anything, the veins on the back of its hand still bulged up.
He was the one who socialized with everyone during dinner. Normally, most of the drinks went into his stomach, but he didn't expect that the Boss would not refuse anyone. With so much effort, the waiter behind him had already poured out the red wine several times.
This was totally using the wine to dispel all of his worries!
Jiang Fang sighed, it seemed that this romance was not that easy to negotiate!
After drinking another half cup, Huo Chang Yuan suddenly stood up. Although his footsteps were not too messy, his hands were covering his stomach, which was no wonder. After sitting down, he basically did not eat anything.
Huo Chang Yuan rushed straight to the washroom, both hands on the sink, cold water splashing everywhere.
Jiang Fang passed over the warm water he got from the waiter, "Hutong, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Huo Chang Yuan bit her lips.
The door to the men's restroom next to them was suddenly pushed open. Footsteps approached, followed by the crisp sound of a child.
"My dear uncle!"
Was this address for his own BOSS?
Jiang Fang lowered his head to look at the direction of the voice. It was a little boy who had just reached her knees, Yan Feng's son.
He immediately looked at Huo Chang Yuan and saw that his face had darkened.
Little Zhou Zhou walked to the shorter wash basin and started to wash his hands. He was looking at Huo Chang Yuan the whole time, and his expression seemed to have some sympathy for him. "Oh, have you lost to my father now?"
Jiang Fang saw that the BOSS 'thin lips had tensed up and hurriedly said, "Cough! Kids don't understand, don't spout nonsense! After using the washroom, quickly go back, so that the adults won't worry! "
"I'm not spouting nonsense!" Little Zhou Zhou raised his head, as if what he said wasn't wrong. Blinking his large eyes, he crisply continued. "Daddy is about to marry Little White, and today, he even went to see my Grandmother!"
Huo Chang Yuan's hand that was turning off the tap suddenly froze.
Jiang Fang stood up straight, he no longer dared to look at the BOSS's expression.
The winter sun seemed to be very high up in the sky.
After the morning meeting, Lin Wan Bai and his two colleagues left the company. The department had a new project that needed to be discussed with the boss about cooperation. It was just that the boss was not in his company right now, but was in a temple outside of the city.
She had been to this temple many times, and was very familiar with it.
It had been a long time since she last came here to offer incense. The last time was with Huo Chang Yuan …
The boss was an old man and a very superstitious person. Every year, he would stay here all day for the first fifteen years of the new year. He would only leave after he finished his fast food.
After Lin Wan Bai and her colleagues arrived at the huge censer, it was very easy to find the old man's figure. However, what surprised her was that Huo Chang Yuan was also there, the two seemed to be close and were chatting.
Fortunately, the person in charge of this project wasn't her, but rather, one of her colleagues. She was only responsible for following them silently.
From the front hall to the back, there was a long table in front of the door with a bamboo tube on top and a monk standing next to it.
"Hutong, you don't need an autograph?" the boss asked with a smile.
The pretty secretary beside him also agreed, her two big eyes flapping like butterflies, "That's right Hutong, the request here is especially accurate! Many people had come specially for the sake of obtaining a contract, especially a marriage contract! For someone as young and capable as the Hutong, why not ask for a favor and see what you have to say? "
"No need." But Huo Chang Yuan was not interested.
Glancing at the signature in the bamboo tube, he lightly pursed his lips and said, "I am someone who can live without love."
The sound wasn't loud, it was like an iron claw clawing at someone's heart.
Standing at the back of the crowd, Lin Wan Bai's chest felt as though it was stuffed with cotton, stuffy and uncomfortable.
After the discussion was over, she left the temple with her two colleagues. However, she felt that the steps were too shaky and told them to wait for her first. She walked down the concrete steps like a snail.
Lin Wan Bai kept walking along the side, afraid that someone would bump into him, he had to be extremely careful.
When they finally walked down the last flight of stairs, there was a white Range Rover parked at the bottom of the mountain. Beside him stood the tall and sturdy Huo Chang Yuan, he had already been down the mountain for a while and still hadn't left.
As if he had felt her gaze, his deep eyes stared straight at her.
Lin Wan Bai's mind trembled.
That look was too deep in her memory, as if she was looking at someone who had betrayed her, but it didn't seem to have any emotions.
Taking a deep breath, she continued walking.
Just as she was about to erase his aura, Huo Chang Yuan's calm voice suddenly called out to her.
"Wan-wang."
This form of address almost made Lin Wan Bai collapse.
She stopped, and after two seconds of silence slowly turned to face him.
After a period of oppressive silence, she saw the Adam's apple that protruded from his shirt's collar move up and down, "I've already heard about you and Yan Feng's plans to get married."
"…" Lin Wan Bai was startled.
The corners of his mouth twitched. The words that he wanted to explain were stuck at the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly felt that it was no longer necessary, and he forcefully swallowed them back down.
"If I remember correctly, we once talked about this topic. You really wanted to be the stepmother before." Huo Chang Yuan clenched his hands into fists inside his pockets, and then wiped the cold smile off his face, "Congratulations, your wish has finally come true!"
His wish came true?
Lin Wan Bai felt stuffy, "Thank you..."
Huo Chang Yuan's pupils constricted, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
He took out the car keys from his pocket and said in a low voice, "When you go back to the company, I can give you a lift."
"No need." Lin Wan Bai shook his head, pointing ahead he said, "Our company's car is just right in front."
She curled her fingers into a ball and let go again. She turned around and resumed her walk, but before she had taken two or three steps, his quiet voice sounded behind her again, a hint of tension in her voice. "Are you pregnant?"
Lin Wan Bai's heart became dull for a moment.
"I won't …" The hand in front of him unconsciously drooped down to his lower abdomen. Shaking his head, he said with great difficulty, "I have my own measures."
Huo Chang Yuan frowned, as if he suddenly understood something.
Her thin lips curled up in a self-deprecating smile. She felt that she was extremely laughable. Under the sunlight, her deep and calm eyes no longer contained any warmth.
