She always plays cards out of the ordinary

The atmosphere in the box also seemed less tense with Tan Zongming's statement. Before Zhang Zhiyuan could approach Guan Juer to talk about the friendship between senior and junior, Guan Juer, accompanied by Tan Zongming, walked up to Senior Brother Lin and said, "Senior Brother Lin, we have something else to do, so we'll go back first."

Senior Brother Lin looked at Guan Juer and Tan Zongming beside her, and hesitated to speak. In the end, he said nothing more, "Okay then, goodbye."

As soon as Tan Zongming saw Senior Brother Lin, he knew that he had feelings for Guan Juer, so when Guan Juer went over to say goodbye, he not only stayed by her side, but also put one hand on Guan Juer's shoulder.

Under Tan Zongming's stern gaze, Senior Brother Lin didn't even have the courage to confirm with Guan Juer whether Tan Zongming was her boyfriend, and he didn't notice the deep fear in Tan Zongming's eyes.

For Tan Zongming, if it were in the past, he never felt that he would lose to other men in front of girls, but after meeting Guan Juer and seeing her beauty, he began to worry. He was worried that he was too old and would leave before her in the future. He was worried that his past experience was too rich and he was not worthy of her. Too many worries made Tan Zongming, a confident man, no longer like himself.

Guan Juer felt the warmth from Tan Zongming's hand on her shoulder, but she did not feel disgusted. Instead, she felt warm and reliable in this air-conditioned box.

The two of them said hello and left the box. As soon as they walked into the hotel lobby, they saw a middle-aged man led by the manager walking over. The man greeted Tan Zongming with a smile from a distance. Seeing this, Tan Zongming also stopped. The two of them exchanged a few words. When saying goodbye, the man said appropriately, "It's a rare occasion for Mr. Tan to come here. Our hotel's surveillance is broken. It's really unfortunate."

Tan Zongming naturally understood what he meant. Without the surveillance, nothing that would be unfavorable to Tan Zongming would be spread about what happened tonight. He nodded, indicating that he accepted the other party's goodwill.

The man was even more ecstatic when he saw Tan Zongming nod. The favor he did had to be accepted by the other party, and it would be great if he could establish some relationship with Tan Zongming through this incident.

After leaving the hotel, Guan Juer said mischievously, "We're almost in the car, why don't you take your hands off?"

Of course, Tan Zongming heard the smile in Guan Juer's words and knew that she was not angry. Tan Zongming knew that Guan Juer did not dislike his performance just now, and he was secretly happy and prepared to take this opportunity to become a regular employee.

He really couldn't stand the fact that every time a man appeared around Guan Juer, he couldn't justify driving them away. This feeling was too frustrating.

Tan Zongming: "Juer, I think you didn't eat well just now, how about we go eat something? Otherwise you will be hungry when you go home at night."

After what happened tonight, Guan Juer decided to have a showdown with Tan Zongming. All her feelings told her that she liked Tan Zongming, especially when Tan Zongming suddenly appeared in front of her as if he had fallen from the sky. This always elegant man even fought for her in front of everyone. Forgive Guan Juer, this little country dog, for she has never met such a man before. How could she not be moved?

Guan Juer: "You've always taken me everywhere, this time let me take you, I'll take you to a place you've never been to."

Tan Zongming: "Then I'd like to see it for myself."

In the car, Guan Juer thought about the scene just now and felt that it was just like a TV drama. Then she thought about everyone's reactions and the fact that people kept adding her on WeChat on her phone, and she suddenly laughed.

While Tan Zongming was driving, he could hear Guan Juer's bell-like laughter in his ears, as if a small feather was gently tickling his ears, making Tan Zongming feel itchy.

Tan Zongming: "What are you laughing at? Won't you tell me?"

Guan Juer thought about the role that Tan Zongming played tonight, and she was not stingy, "I was just thinking about whether this play tonight is particularly like the face-slapping plot in the novel?"

Tan Zongming obviously didn't expect Guan Juer to view tonight's events in this way. He was delighted by her optimism, but also worried that she would suffer the consequences next time she encountered such a thing. "You are not angry at all?"

Guan Juer glanced at Tan Zongming and shook her head slowly. "Of course not. At the beginning, I was so angry. I went to the class reunion with great joy, but I was targeted as soon as I got there. Later, I was inexplicably forced to drink. How could I not be angry? But as soon as you showed up, those people seemed to be like mice seeing a cat. They all changed their faces. They were afraid that you would be angry, so they came to apologize to me. I suddenly felt a little meaningless. No matter how arrogant you are, it's just like this."

Tan Zongming smiled and consoled him: "This is how the world is. If you stand at the top, others will look up to you. If you are at the bottom, they will desperately step on you, so everyone is desperately trying to climb up."

He reached out one hand and held Guan Juer's hand, "Juer, although it is a bit regrettable that I met you so late, I don't regret it now, because only now do I truly have the ability to protect you. I can't imagine watching you being bullied and being powerless to do anything."

Tan Zongming's luxury car finally stopped in front of a food stall. The owners were a middle-aged couple. They were dressed in ordinary clothes but clean. The middle-aged woman was sitting on the side wrapping dumplings while the man was cooking them in the pot. Guan Juer walked in first, "Auntie Mao, we are here to eat dumplings again."

When the middle-aged woman saw Guan Juer coming in, her eyes lit up, "Xiao Guan, you haven't been here for a long time. Didn't Xiao Cheng come with you?" As she spoke, she looked behind Guan Juer.

Tan Zongming happened to hear Aunt Mao asking about a person named Xiao Cheng in the back, and immediately began to wonder who this Xiao Cheng was, and why he often came here with Guan Juer. Seeing that the boss was so familiar with Guan Juer, this Xiao Cheng must be an important person. He remained calm on the surface, and was already thinking about how to start the conversation later. However, before Tan Zongming could figure out how to ask, Guan Juer replied with some disappointment, "Wanyu has gone abroad, and now I have to come alone."

Aunt Mao saw Guan Juer and Tan Zongming sitting together, so she smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng is gone, isn't there someone to accompany you again?"

Guan Juer looked at Tan Zongming beside her and smiled shyly. "Auntie Mao, please cook two bowls of wonton for us!"

Aunt Mao saw Guan Juer's shy expression, and she knew their relationship, so she stopped teasing her and said, "Okay, I'll cook it right away."
