Chapter 45

After Huo Chang Yuan finished speaking, he sat straight on the upper half of his body.

Lin Wan Bai was still looking at him blankly like she did just now, his breath still lingering on her lips.

She had thought that …

Huo Chang Yuan shifted his gaze to her, "You're unwilling to get off the carriage?"

The usually cold expression on his face did not change, but Lin Wan Bai had congealed red on his face.

"No!" She shook her head.

Just as he was about to close the car door, he leaned over and said to, "Mr. Howe, I'll go upstairs first. Take care … "Good night!"

The last two words sounded awkward as Lin Wan Bai ran into the corridor.

He did not head upstairs immediately, but hid behind the door.

It was only when the white Land Rover started up again that she slowly revealed her head.

Under the night sky, a trace of a strange feeling flashed through his heart as he used the taillights.

The next afternoon, after a meeting at the company, the supervisor called her over.

He said that he had a case to discuss with the cooperative company and wanted her to organize the documents to accompany him.

Lin Wan Bai naturally did not dare to be negligent, and followed the manager and left the company half an hour later.

The cab stopped at the center of the city's most prosperous CPB area. The first thing that came into view was a towering skyscraper. It was very grand.

When Lin Wan Bai saw the eye-catching "Hauptmann's", he understood why the manager brought her here. Most likely, it was because the last time they ate, he thought that there was something going on between her and Huo Chang Yuan.

After waiting in the meeting room for half an hour, Huo Chang Yuan's tall and big figure finally arrived late.

There seemed to be a trace of surprise, but it was very short.

He was still dressed in a tall, black, hand-made suit with narrow shoulders and a meticulous tie. From head to toe, he displayed delicacy and neatness. As the blinds fell, his resolute face seemed even more three-dimensional.

After Huo Chang Yuan sat down, Jiang Fang immediately delivered the documents to him.

"Sorry."

After saying that, he went back to his work and swept his gaze across everyone's faces.

This was the first time Lin Wan Bai saw him in his working state.

In addition to the indifference deeply rooted on his face, his brows were tightly-knit, and the pen between his fingers was pressed on the table. There was no unnecessary talk, and it was not ostentatious, but it was awe-inspiring.

At the end of the meeting, Lin Wan Bai felt a string tightening in his head.

Putting away the documents he had brought with him, the supervisor stepped out of the elevator.

The moment he stepped out of the revolving door of the building, someone behind him shouted out respectfully, "Hutong!"

Lin Wan Bai and the supervisor turned their heads at the same time and saw Huo Chang Yuan and assistant Jiang Fang walking out one after the other.

As if he was not paying attention, Huo Chang Yuan said lightly: "It's just right for me to take you guys on the way here for a while."

"Thank you, Hutong!" The supervisor immediately answered.

There was a black Bentley parked by the side of the road, Jiang Fang had already ran over and opened the back door.

Lin Wan Bai was almost dragged by the supervisor, he looked at Huo Chang Yuan who was seated inside, and turned and said to her: "Xiao Lin, quickly, sit in the middle!"

"Ugh …"

Before she could even open her mouth to refuse, she was already stuffed inside.

As the driver drove, Lin Wan Bai was caught between Huo Chang Yuan and the supervisor. The latter seemed to be extremely flattered by this favor, as she rubbed her hands together and kept on speaking words of flattery.

Huo Chang Yuan had always been indifferent to flattery, occasionally pulling at the corner of his lips.

Lin Wan Bai looked in front of him and listened from left and right, and suddenly, a palm covered the left hand at the side of her legs.

Her heart skipped a beat.

The warmth of his palm seeped into the back of his hand, and his rough fingers even formed a circle.

Lin Wan Bai's breathing slowed down, and she gritted her teeth to remind him, "... Huo, Hutong? "

"What's wrong?" Huo Chang Yuan looked to the side.

Even the supervisor couldn't help but to look at her with a very casual and serious expression.

Lin Wan Bai was unable to raise his left hand, and his face gradually flushed red.

She knew that things like what she did when she first ate with Lin Yao Yao were done easily.

"Nothing much, I'm just very grateful to you for sending us off …"

Lin Wan Bai could only make up a lie and answer. Only when her face was about to turn completely red, did Huo Chang Yuan finally withdraw his palm slowly.

What happened just now seemed to be teasing on purpose, but also seemed to be accidentally touching.

After returning to the company, just as Lin Wan Bai sat down at his desk, his phone rang.

It was an unknown number. She answered it hesitantly, "Hello?"

"It's me."

Lin Wan Bai almost dropped it when he heard the man's voice just now when they had parted.

Huo Chang Yuan seemed to be still in the car, ordering from the engine: "Come here at 9 o'clock at night."

Lin Wan Bai felt his ears buzzing.

The pores all over his body seemed to be expanding as he recalled his words.

"Oh …" She obeyed.

When he realized that the conversation was still going on, he was just about to ask about it when he heard a quiet male voice say, "Remember to buy two boxes of books when you come over."

"…" Lin Wan Bai almost choked on his saliva.

"Don't you know that you can only take emergency contraceptives twice a year?"

"..." "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wan Bai's face was even hotter than when he was in the car.

Ever since he had taken that call from Huo Chang Yuan, Lin Wan Bai's mind had been in a state of turmoil.

After quitting her job in the pub, she had plenty of time to accompany her grandma in the hospital until the sky turned dark. She was afraid of being late so she rushed over an hour earlier.

Before getting on the bus, she went into a convenience store.

Maybe it was because of the night, but there were quite a few customers in the store. She quickly scanned through all the items on the shelves and only stopped at a certain spot.

He looked around and stretched out his hand to grab two boxes.

"What can I do for you, ma'am?"

the cashier asked as it was her turn to check out.

Lin Wan Bai couldn't even raise his head. He had to dawdle for a long time before he finally handed over the box that was hidden in his hand. His voice was like a mosquito in summer: "Cough! "Help me tie it up …"

Holding the change, not daring to look at the cashier's ambiguous eyes, she ran out of the room.

The convenience store won't be coming back in the future...

After stuffing the eye piercing item into her bag, Lin Wan Bai realized what was going on. Why did she come here to buy this!

However, after entering the small sector, Lin Wan Bai didn't move for a long time. Looking at the high ups that were left behind, she didn't know where to go, but it just happened that she had the habit of clearing her call records.

"Why isn't he here yet!"

Half an hour later, Huo Chang Yuan called back with a very bad tone.

Lin Wan Bai looked at his own shadow on the ground, looking like a pitiful child who had done something wrong. "I forgot which one it was …"
