In the sixth round, three parts emotion, seven parts money

She decided to walk back. However, her wish ultimately did not come true as a black sedan stopped beside her, the horn blaring sharply. She was startled and turned around, vaguely recognizing it was Xie Fang's Audi. Sure enough, the driver's side door opened, and Xie Fang got out and walked towards her, while Lin Li in the back also leaned out and gestured to her

Lin Li said to Xie Fang in a serious manner: "Our Miss Ning Dan is both capable and gentle, adept in the parlor and skilled in the kitchen. Moreover, you must be cautious, for she is a vixen who devours people without leaving a bone. You should take good care of your health!"

"General Lin! Why do you speak of me so unfavorably!" Ning Danjiao pouted playfully, her charming eyes glimmering as she cast a flirtatious glance at Lin Li, yet her gaze was directed towards Xie Fang.

Turning around, Su Yao saw Lin Li leaning against the wall, gazing at her from a distance, the corners of his eyes gently smiling, reminiscent of yellow leaves swaying in the wind, both seasoned and crisp. A shiver ran through her, as she found his suggestive smile extremely distasteful, yet could only politely offer him a lily-like smile: "Is there something you need, Mr. Lin?"

Lu Tiansheng has reached the age of 36, which is considered "advanced in age". However, the general manager's wife has kept everything under wraps, and even the more senior employees are unaware of where General Manager Lu's "grass has fallen". When the wedding invitation was sent out on the 28th, the entire Shengfang organization felt like a pot of oil about to explode: the general manager's wife is none other than Shu Tianxi, the manager of the advertising creative department

The moderate flattery made Ning Dan feel very comfortable, and she finally broke into a smile, casting a charming glance at the man beside her

Ouyang Lanlan, Sunny, Luo Yihong, and Su Yao exchanged smiles and shrugged their shoulders. The open secret of the flourishing organization: several young women in the advertising department are admirers and super fans of Vice President Xie Fang, engaging in both overt and covert competition to attract Xie Fang's attention, hoping to win the favor of the prince charming and golden bachelor, and to achieve a Cinderella love story.

Both General Lin and General Xie are exceptional men, truly one in a million. They have undoubtedly encountered numerous women in their lives; what is there to hide? Does this not prove the infinite charm you possess as men? Ning Dan lightly spoke, her voice soft and delicate, evoking a sense of enchantment, while her smile, like a rose in the wind, swayed gracefully.

Xie Fang looked at Su Yao—his masculine profile, thick eyebrows and dark eyes, cast a gaze that seemed distant, as if separated by thousands of miles, with countless mountains and rivers in between

Lin Li sneered, his face pale and yellow, as he said with a mocking tone: "It’s nothing serious, nothing serious! As long as you’re happy!"

She desperately wanted to shake off his arm, but under the intense gaze of four eyes in the Audi, she chose to remain silent

She ultimately did not leave the wedding banquet early, but it was already nearing its conclusion, with guests leaving one after another. All the staff of the hosting organization remained seated in their original places, required to stay until the end. Suddenly, Luo Yihong, sitting beside Su Yao, tugged at her forcefully, casting a meaningful glance to the right.

Hearing his tone reminiscent of a patron, Su Yao wished she could tear his mouth apart or seal it with tape. She blinked and coldly remarked, "As for face, I believe that no matter how great President Xie's face is, it cannot compare to Miss Ning's face!"

Lin Li slowly walked over, sizing her up: a delicate face, smooth skin, deep black pupils, soft purple eyeshadow, and thin pink lips, all of which could be described as charmingly beautiful with a clear and refined temperament. Standing at 1.60 meters tall, she was wrapped in a well-tailored thin wool suit, which made her appear even more petite and graceful, exuding an enchanting aura

Xie Fang also responded in Taiwanese, humorously implying: "She is also a sharp-tongued person, so be careful not to end up completely at her mercy."

Lin Li's small single eyelids showcased the sharp demeanor of a man with small eyes. He smiled and said, "This is your boss's failure to recognize talent. A planning talent as outstanding as Miss Su Yao should be vigorously nurtured." Suddenly, he frowned and asked in surprise, "Do you understand Taiwanese?"

Su Yao naturally observed every move of hers; every woman, especially beautiful women, desires to be the focal point of men's attention. At this moment, she has become a mere accessory, and surely she is unwilling to accept that! It seems she has completely forgotten how explosive their first meeting was. Perhaps she is inherently the type of beauty who does not regard other women, and thus naturally would not associate the current Su Yao with the clumsy individual from Christmas Eve. It seems she has completely forgotten how explosive their first meeting was. Perhaps she is inherently the type of beauty who does not regard other women, and thus naturally would not associate the current Su Yao with the clumsy individual from Christmas Eve.

At that moment, upon suddenly hearing someone mention her name, she was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted, laughing softly: "Oh? Miss Su is too polite. Miss Su is so astute and capable that even a successful figure like General Lin from Taiwan has to go to great lengths to get to know her. I truly envy that!"

In fact, Su Yao had long been aware of her profession; she merely wanted to change the subject. Xie Fang also noticed that the woman beside him was acting strangely, and quickly added: "Ning Dan is the assistant to the general manager of a real estate development group, highly regarded and trusted by the CEO"

Indeed, some women are just so cheap as to cling to others. There are many examples in life, and I have heard countless stories, they are everywhere. And what about myself? If colleagues and friends knew that she was "cohabiting" with Xie Fang, would she also be labeled as a "mainland lover"? Su Yao bitterly smiled to herself: "Those who can achieve a successful outcome are certainly very few"

Ning Dan once again filled Xie Fang's teacup, her classical features delicate as if they were porcelain that could shatter with a single touch: "Mr. Xie, I have heard that there are many Taiwanese people in Lucheng. Approximately how many are there?"

Lin Li drank half a cup of white liquor, and his face flushed, turning red down to the base of his neck. ... Subsequently, Xie Fang led him back to the banquet table to toast.

The warm applause erupted loudly. Then, the groom embraced the bride and affectionately kissed her smooth forehead

Su Yao spoke in pure Minnan dialect: "Every word is understandable"

Su Yao looked at Xie Fang—his masculine profile, thick eyebrows and dark eyes. The gaze he cast was distant, as if separated by thousands of miles, with mountains and rivers in between. He seemed to have completely forgotten his own firmness and passion on Christmas Eve, and she had never brought it up, treating it as if it had never happened, as if it were merely the irrational drunken frenzy of a drunkard.

This is Su Yao ... ... Miss Su? '' Lin Li followed Xie Fang's gaze and looked over, his eyebrows revealing a hint of hesitation and a bright, unusual light.

Old Wang, the best man, joked: "Ah, today’s best man is the prince charming of Lucheng, one in a hundred, I wonder how many girls he has captivated! Mr. Xie, the bridesmaids are also quite lovely, a perfect match! However, several young ladies from our company are bound to be heartbroken!"

Lin Li had a proper stature, slightly taller and sturdier than Xie Fang. He wore a silver-white suit, and his short hair was stylishly cut. His complexion was pale with a hint of yellow, and his single eyelids could easily disappear when he smiled. He raised his glass and said, "You are all elites in the real estate industry of Lucheng, the backbone of the Shengfang organization. I hope we can collaborate happily in the future, thank you"

Su Yao smiled coldly for a moment, and in an instant, the smile on her face vanished without a trace, as if she had never smiled at all: "Is this also within the scope of work? I have no right to say 'no', do I?"

After speaking, Old Wang deliberately winked, and his sly, shifty-eyed expression made everyone burst into laughter

Su Yao set down the white porcelain teacup and smiled, saying, "General Manager Lin has seen countless people and has extensive experience, so you must have many insights and reflections."

The best man and maid of honor disappeared from the resplendent banquet hall, and a girl from the customer service department sharply remarked: "What a flashy cat, all skin and bones, not an ounce of flesh, yet she thinks she has a devilish figure!"

It is unclear how Shu Tianxi and President Lu fell in love, and how she endured this dark and hopeless romance. Su Yao felt a bit curious, but these private matters may never be known, unless the parties involved choose to disclose them themselves

A group of girls from the planning department descended the stairs and arrived at the entrance, where a gust of cold wind rushed towards them, sweeping through their loose hair. With her knees feeling icy, Su Yao tightened her knee-length red down jacket, yet she still couldn't help but shiver. After bidding farewell to her colleagues, she walked along the road ahead. Amidst the busyness of work and life, it was rare for her to stroll aimlessly on the streets at night, without a destination or goal, only the shimmering lights and the cold wind swirling around her.

Su Yao raised her glass of red wine, tugged at Ouyang Lanlan, and smiled brightly, her laughter lively: "President Lin, Ouyang Lanlan and I toast to you, and we look forward to your guidance in the future"

Su Yao seemed to catch a faint whiff of the men's perfume emanating from him, causing her heart to tighten and her cheeks to flush—an expression of radiant yet subtle embarrassment: "I apologize, I had too much red wine earlier, and now I have a terrible headache... Mr. Lin, I am truly sorry..."

After speaking, he exaggeratedly burst into laughter, and Xie Fang joined in with a few chuckles

Lin Li did not expect her to refuse so directly, and the muscles in her jaw tightened painfully as she forced out, "Then Miss Su Yao must grace us with her presence another day"

After spending a long time in the restroom, she decided to leave the wedding banquet without greeting anyone. Just as she took two steps, she heard a calm voice calling out: "Su Yao"

Ning Dan laughed heartily, her almond-shaped eyes slightly widened, and exaggeratedly said: "Really? That's so funny! I heard that many Taiwanese men have mainland lovers, and it seems that all the Taiwanese people in Lucheng have mainland lovers."

Hello, General Lin. With no other choice, Su Yao steeled her heart and met Lin Li's scrutinizing gaze

Lin Li raised a full glass of white liquor, smiling in a rather peculiar manner: "The name of Miss Su Yao, a senior copywriter at the Shengfang Agency, is well-known and resonates like thunder. It is a pleasure to meet you. If Miss Su is interested in changing to a new work environment, do be sure to come find me! Here is my business card."

"Who is Su Yao?" Lin Li asked in a lowered voice, but Su Yao still heard it; everyone at the table heard it.

Su Yao listened while savoring the phrase "thank you for your hard work," which seemed to reveal some signs. Perhaps their confidentiality efforts were quite strenuous, but why keep it a secret? It is not something to be ashamed of! As the secret lover of General Lu, did Shu Tianxi accept this situation willingly? Has she ever complained? Would she behave like an ordinary woman, making a big fuss?

Su Yao gracefully freed herself from the restraint of that arm, her long eyelashes fluttering like petals of mockery: "Mr. Xie, I am only providing this one-time humanitarian assistance because I believe that accompanying your esteemed clients for tea does not fall within the scope of a planning department employee's duties, and it exceeds the principles of my role as your personal assistant, Mr. Xie."

Once again, she raised her wine glass and gently clinked it. Glancing at Xie Fang, who had become a supporting character beside Lin Li, she noticed that he was still smiling like a flower, yet his dark eyes appeared gloomy, reminiscent of the sky before a storm—low pressure and very dark.

Lin Li spoke: "Yes, among the Taiwanese on the mainland, about one-third are in Lucheng. Once, I took a taxi, and the driver told me a joke. A South Korean, a Taiwanese, and a Lucheng resident were competing by the Huangpu River to see who had the most economic strength. The South Korean, who valued face, was the first to throw a Samsung phone into the Huangpu River, proudly declaring: 'South Korea may not have much, but we have plenty of phones!' The Taiwanese, not to be outdone, threw a laptop made in Taiwan into the river, boasting: 'Taiwan may not have much, but we have plenty of laptops!' Finally, it was the turn of the Lucheng resident. He looked around and realized he had nothing impressive to show off, so he had a change of thought and threw the Taiwanese into the river, loudly proclaiming: 'Lucheng may not have much, but we have plenty of Taiwanese businessmen!'"

Xie Fang's dark, deep-set eyes glared at him ominously, yet did not forget to adorn the corners of her brows and eyes with a sprinkle of laughter. Su Yao was unsure whether that wild glare was a warning to Lin Li, but she could clearly see that Ning Dan, upon hearing this, was all smiles, laughing as if amidst a blaze of fireworks.

A girl from the media department said angrily: "Exactly, what a cheap woman, she must be someone who would sleep with any man, even if offered for free, she wouldn't accept."

Lucheng, located to the east of Shanghai and adjacent to Suzhou, boasts a unique geographical position and has experienced rapid economic development, ranking first among the top one hundred counties and cities in China. Lucheng is known for its three treasures: Kun stone, Qionghua flower, and paired lotus; currently, Lucheng has "three abundances": a large number of Taiwanese businessmen, a high number of private cars, and a significant population of women

A talented man and a beautiful woman—when dressed in wedding attire, the vast majority of newlyweds embody this ideal of a talented man and a beautiful woman

Perhaps he has already recognized that the one singing and dancing on the Bailehui stage, Tiantian, is indeed Su Yao from the Shengfang organization, and he is likely to have firmly believed that Tiantian is Su Yao

Ning Dan was even more unprepared for Su Yao's sudden direct question, her tense delicate face instantly relaxed, awkwardly forcing a smile that was uncomfortable to behold: "I work at a Taiwanese-funded enterprise"

"Su Yao, Ouyang Lanlan, a toast to General Manager Jing. " Xie Fang looked at Su Yao with a sly gaze, making her feel uneasy. "After General Manager Lin reviewed our planning report, he was very satisfied. I remember he said something very clearly: 'Ah Fang, if Miss Su leaves one day, be sure to inform me at the first opportunity. I will offer her a high salary to come and assist me.'"

Di Di Jiao's flirtatious gaze was precisely directed at Xie Fang, her sweet voice reaching an extreme level of coquetry, sending shivers down one's spine. However, to the ears of men, it was like a softening of the bones, akin to a gentle massage from delicate hands. How could any man resist such a provocatively charming woman?

Xie Fang patted her shoulder, attempting to alleviate her discomfort and slight resistance: "Do not forget, you are my personal assistant"

Xie laughed dismissively, not delving deeply into her words; it was sufficient that she had agreed. Thus, he once again wrapped his arm around her as they walked back, as if afraid she might run away, and pushed her into the car

January 1, 2008, was a momentous day for Lu Tiansheng, the president of the Shengfang Organization.

The best man walked over with a man in his thirties, and the entire table stood up, raising their glasses high. Su Yao thought to herself that it was bad, and quickly lowered her head to avoid the gaze that the man beside the best man was about to sweep over.

Luo Yihong, who was beside her, noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Su Yao, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Not a trace of the corpse remains! Su Yao shot a sharp glare at Xie Fang, feeling extremely displeased: "If I were as eloquent as General Xie claims, he would definitely have me attend this on-site proposal. Unfortunately, I am not good with words and cannot meet General Xie's expectations"

Everyone clinks their glasses and drinks it all in one go. Ladies, feel free.

The applause once again resounded, accompanied by screams and whistles. ... Subsequently, some guests raised their voices in unison, demanding that the bride and groom share their touching love story. ... Clearly, the groom had already prepared his lines to respond, while the bride was quick-witted, deftly deflecting the curiosity of some busybodies.

Next, Su Yao constantly felt a deep and probing gaze directed at her from the diagonal opposite, and approximately every ten minutes, she sensed the warmth and intense interest of that gaze. She knew it was Lin Li

"Women are not bad, men do not love, especially during certain indoor activities!" Lin Li said with a smile, turning his head to cast a mysterious sidelong glance; his squinting eyes were filled with a teasing implication.

When Su Yao arrived at the Swiss Grand Hotel, the advertising department staff responsible for setting up the wedding banquet hall had already arrived and completed the arrangements. At a glance, the hall was filled with a vibrant red, festive and lively. After 6 o'clock, guests began to arrive one after another, keeping the customer service and sales departments very busy. General Manager Lu invited friends and clients from the mainland, along with the bride's relatives and company employees, totaling around 400 people, which was quite a spectacle

As her gaze shifted, Su Yao turned to look—bridesmaid Ning Dan and groomsman Xie Fang were walking side by side, closely leaning against each other. Ning Dan moved gracefully with elegant steps, like a swaying willow, exuding an air of delicate beauty. Her enchanting eyes were raised high, displaying her aloofness and pride to all the women present, proclaiming: Your Xie is mine, and no one can take him from me

Lin Li, with a playful smile, said: "How should I put it? There is a ratio that can illustrate this issue: when Taiwanese men are with mainland partners, it is three parts emotion and seven parts money"

As long as there are beautiful women present, men will engage in a war without gunpowder. In this regard, there is no difference between men and women. Xie Fang leaned back against the sofa and chuckled, "President Lin, this statement is open to discussion"

As the banquet commenced, glasses clinked, exquisite dishes were served, red and white wines flowed, and laughter filled the air... The bride and groom moved from table to table to toast their guests, but a few attendees deliberately made things difficult for the bride, blowing air to prevent her from lighting a cigarette; or standing on chairs, making it impossible for the bride to reach, necessitating the groom to lift her up high...

The bridesmaid, with a tall stature of around 1.70 meters, possesses a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and elegantly wears a dark floral cheongsam, exuding the delicate charm of a woman from Huzhou. According to insider information from Mr. Lu's assistant, Luo Yihong, the bridesmaid Ning Dan is a high school classmate of the bride and serves as the assistant to the general manager of a real estate development group

"Su Yao, President Lin specifically wants to meet you by name. Come, pour the wine!" Xie Fang spoke with great bravado

Xie Fang noticed her reproachful gaze, raised his thick eyebrows, and with a forced smile, said: "I say, General Manager Lin, have you gotten drunk from drinking tea? They are all good girls, don't lead them astray."

Lin Li stands like a university professor, analyzing and summarizing in front of eager students, his tone quite serious: "This is all a matter of mutual consent! Some have wives in Taiwan, while others do not; as for lovers from the mainland, they are what you often refer to as 'er nai', many of whom are self-attached, and some are mutually attracted. Of course, there are also cases like that of Mr. Lu, who dated for several years before getting married"

Xie smiled cunningly and explained, "She is from Xiamen, and the Minnan dialect is quite similar to Taiwanese."

As she spoke, she deliberately shook her head slightly, squinted her eyes, and furrowed her brows, indicating that she was not lying. He should have understood her meaning regarding her tactful refusal, right

Lin Li seemed to have a deep understanding as he sighed, "Today's girls are truly not simple!"

Lin Li put down his wine glass and handed over a business card. Su Yao politely accepted it with both hands: "Mr. Lin, you are too kind! I will definitely remember what you said, but I just hope that when the time comes, Mr. Lin won't go back on his word!"

It is spoken in Taiwanese. When Taiwanese people are together, they often suddenly switch to their mother tongue, which can be quite jarring for those nearby. At this moment, Ning Dan's expression reflects this sentiment; she glances at Lin Li and then at Xie Fang, whose fair and delicate face is covered in foundation, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Dizzy ... ! ... How has Lin Li become more and more outrageous! Damn it! A beast in human clothing? ! Su Yao avoided Lin Li's gaze, casting a sidelong glance at Xie Fang, as if to say: General Xie, is this the quality of your friend from Taiwan?

From the moment she sat down, Ning Dan maintained an elegant silence, gently pouring tea and water for them, casting flirtatious glances at the two Taiwanese men, while occasionally shooting a cold glance at Su Yao. In her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, there was no sign of disturbance; however, Su Yao could sense the resentment and murderous intent buried within that gaze

Under the streetlight, Xie Fang's bronze-colored face emitted a piercing brightness: "This is the most basic requirement of my personal assistant! Su Yao, I know what you are worried about, I assure you, you will be unharmed, OK? Let's go, don't keep them waiting too long!"

Su Yao desperately wanted to rush to the bathroom and vomit. Her hair, coated with mousse, stood stiffly upright, and the occasional waft of perfume made her nose itch, stirring the contents of her stomach.

She made a sound of acknowledgment, which could be considered a response. He said earnestly, "This project is very important, we must secure it. This time, just think of it as accompanying me for tea; it won't be very late... Consider it a favor for your boss—me, alright?"

Shu Tianxi, aged 28, hails from Huzhou, Zhejiang. She embodies a typical graceful demeanor and is an intellectual beauty, having served as the manager of the advertising department for four years. Su Yao has not had much interaction with her, but has heard many commendable remarks about her. She possesses exceptional creative design thinking and has received numerous awards; her personality is gentle and humble, and she is very supportive of her subordinates at work. Her management style is balanced, combining both leniency and authority, earning her admiration and respect.

His voice sounds perfectly normal, it seems she needs to put in more effort

At 6:30, the melodious wedding march flowed elegantly all around. The groom held the microphone, his face beaming with joy and radiance: "Thank you to all my friends and guests for your support, I am very grateful! January 1, 2008, is the most remarkable day in my thirty-six years, because I have married the only beloved woman in the world, Shu Tianxi. Taking this opportunity, I want to say three words to her: you have worked hard! From now on, I will cherish her for a lifetime with all my passion! January 1, 2008, is the most remarkable day in my thirty-six years, because I have married the only beloved woman in the world, Shu Tianxi. Taking this opportunity, I want to say three words to her: you have worked hard! From now on, I will cherish her for a lifetime with all my passion! This moment represents a lifetime! Thank you!"

The two Taiwanese men burst into laughter once again

They fantasized: one day, with the sun shining brightly and a light floral fragrance wafting in the breeze, Xie gracefully walked to her desk and gently said to her, "My dear Cinderella, will you be my girlfriend?"

Lin Li smiled and looked at Xie Fang: "Not at all, when it comes to insights and experiences, your insights must be deeper than mine, General Xie!"

Whose voice is that of a man

Miss Ning Dan's words are truly of a high standard! Lin Li laughed appreciatively, his short hair on his forehead shaking with each chuckle

The best man, Xie Fanghao, laughed heartily: "Old Wang, because of what you just said, I am determined to take you down tonight! Come, let me introduce everyone, this is Mr. Lin, the developer of 'Champagne No. 1', and also a good friend of Mr. Lu and me"

The relationship of "two many" is ambiguous, entangling the most eye-catching yet most discreet landscape in the city.

Miss Ning is engaged in what industry

Two women sang in harmony, praising the two Taiwanese men to the point of elation

Xie Fang took a sip of tea: "Lucheng is one of the most densely populated areas for Taiwanese business investments on the Chinese mainland. Including family members and transient Taiwanese residents, I believe there are at least 100,000 people living in Lucheng each year"

Su Yao smiled faintly, nodded slightly, and turned to walk away

Their skills in confidentiality are truly exquisite and have reached the pinnacle of perfection

Although it is a compliment to Su Yao, it is actually a roundabout way of flattering Lin Li. Lin Li laughed heartily, his single eyelids squinting into a narrow crack, excitedly patting the table in front of Xie Fang: "A Fang, these two Chama are quite something, what do you think? Do you have the confidence to handle them?"

The newcomer stands beside the smiling groomsman and bridesmaid, who are also a dazzling couple. The groomsman, with a strong and well-defined physique, is dressed in a meticulously crafted white tuxedo. His bronze-toned face enhances the whiteness of the tuxedo, as if a handprint were placed upon it, it would immediately reveal a five-clawed mark. However, it must be acknowledged that the strong color contrast makes him appear particularly composed and restrained, as if years of hidden brilliance have poured out in this moment.

Su Yao淡淡地扯了扯唇角: "Hmm, I will go to the restroom for a moment"

He said elegantly: "After the banquet ends, shall we go for tea together? Miss Su Yao, would you do me the honor?"

Lu Tiansheng and Shu Tianxi experienced four years of trials and tribulations before finally entering the hall of marriage, but who can truly understand the nuances of their journey? They represent a complete and perfect conclusion, carrying extraordinary symbolic significance, providing countless "mainland lovers" with endless hope, such as Ning Dan, who begins to harbor bubble-like expectations towards Xie Fang

The groom, Lu Tiansheng, is dressed in a black tuxedo, presenting a style that is entirely different from his usual casual attire, enhancing his dignified appearance; the bride, Shu Tianxi, stands approximately 1.65 meters tall, wearing a strapless wedding gown that accentuates her exquisite figure, with delicate makeup that renders her stunningly flawless

The "Cross-Strait Coffee" is situated above the North Ring City River, with an interior decor that is luxurious and elegant. It is said that the owner of this café is a well-known figure from Taiwan. The waitress guided them to a table by the window, where Xie Fang and Ning Dan sat together, while Lin Li and Su Yao sat on the other side. Xie Fang ordered a pot of Tieguanyin tea, popcorn, sunflower seeds, a fruit platter, and so on. Before long, everything was served.

Ning Dan, sitting opposite, showed a hint of surprise in her sparkling eyes; then, her expression slightly changed, and the gaze she cast became even colder

Xie Fang stretched out his arm and pulled Su Yao's shoulder, half in friendliness and half in coercion, guiding her to walk in the opposite direction. Su Yao instinctively lowered her head, clearly feeling the intense beating of her heart: What does he want? A crowd of lobbyists? But does it really need to be this intimate? If he is not worried about Ning Dan feeling jealous, shouldn't he be concerned about whether I find this off-putting?

Lin Li smiled at Su Yao and teased, "If it weren't for President Xie stepping in, Miss Su Yao wouldn't have agreed to come!"

The moment Su Yao laid eyes on Ning Dan's true self—at that moment, Ning Dan entered the banquet hall accompanied by the bride, her demeanor graceful. Su Yao was left utterly stunned, her mind filled with that almond-eyed, delicate-skinned oval face... It was the fiery yet indifferent face in the brightly lit restroom, and the proud and exquisite face that emerged from a certain mid-rise building in Yijing Bay...
