Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Lin Bufan no longer had the smugness he had just felt. He even started to sweat on his forehead. "Well... well... actually, it hasn't developed much... It's just, it's just ordinary..."

"It hasn't progressed much?" Huang Yimei interrupted Lin Bufan and took another step forward, almost pressing against him. Her voice was even lower, but more oppressive. "That means it hasn't reached the point where we can casually French kiss in the corridor, but you did it anyway. This means you didn't recognize the wrong person at all... You knew it was me and deliberately came up to take advantage of me. The reason you said you recognized the wrong person was just to find an excuse for yourself, right?"

"Absolutely not! I swear!" Lin Bufan immediately raised three fingers, his expression so sincere that it was almost exaggerated: "This is completely a beautiful misunderstanding!"

Huang Yimei stared at Lin Bufan for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled and reached out to straighten Lin Bufan's collar, which she had wrinkled. "Isn't it just a kiss? Why are you beating around the bush? If you want it, just say it."

Lin Bufan was a little confused by Huang Yimei's sudden change. Before he could react, Huang Yimei pushed him against the wall, grabbed his collar to force him to lower his head, and then kissed him.

This kiss was even more passionate than before, with an undeniable intensity. Huang Yimei didn't let go of him until both of them were breathless. She panted slightly and said, "No need to make excuses now, right?"

Lin Bufan's eyes were filled with undercurrents, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Rose, I have something to talk to you about."

Huang Yimei understood the desire in Lin Bufan's eyes. It just so happened that she also had something to discuss with Lin Bufan, so she nodded: "What a coincidence, I have something to discuss with you as well."

The two had originally planned to go to the hotel, but after getting in the car, Huang Yimei suddenly changed her mind while fastening her seatbelt: "The hotel is too far away. What's the point of wasting money?"

Lin Bufan raised his eyebrows: "Where are we going?"

Huang Yimei pointed to the back seat of the car: "Can't we just talk here? No one will disturb us anyway."

Lin Bufan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That makes sense."

The voices gradually faded, replaced by the soft sounds of breathing and the rustling of fabric. A thin layer of mist gradually covered the car window, blurring the view outside.

After the conversation, Lin Bufan remembered the important business. He left the somewhat tired Huang Yimei in the car to rest, and returned to the hospital to give Chen Nanxing today's lollipops.

When Lin Bufan returned to the car, Huang Yimei had already straightened her clothes and was putting on makeup. She licked her lipstick and said with unconcealed amazement, "My dad's leg... is really healed."

It's a miracle! This morning, I went for a walk in the park with him, and he was so brisk that I could barely keep up even at a jog! Not only are his legs and feet nimble, but his whole spirit seems ten years younger, and his complexion is rosy. My mom even said he doesn't snore anymore, and he even rushes to make breakfast in the morning! Your medical skills are incredible!

Lin Bufan naturally accepted Huang Yimei's compliments. He proudly tossed his hair. Although it had been dyed back to a calm black, his arrogance remained undiminished. "Of course! Look who did it! Let me tell you this, Rose. There's nothing in this world that I, Lin Bufan, can't cure! From colds and fevers to difficult and complicated illnesses, there's nothing I can't cure! If I don't like anyone on the King of Hell's list, I can black out their name!"

"You're so lost after just a few compliments, and you even gasped when I told you you were fat." Huang Yimei rolled her eyes at Lin Bufan before getting down to business: "My parents asked me to invite you to their house for a simple meal tonight to thank you for curing my dad's leg."

When Lin Bufan heard this, he immediately put on an expression that said "this is nothing" and waved his hand: "Oh! What is there to be thankful for? It's too formal, isn't it? We are no strangers. Your parents are my parents! Treating your own parents' legs, isn't that a natural and reasonable thing to do? Besides..."

Hearing Lin Bufan say this, Huang Yimei thought that Lin Bufan was unwilling to go and was about to refuse. She was about to open her mouth to persuade him again, but she heard Lin Bufan change the subject and said, "But then again, since it's my parents' invitation, I can't refuse. Remember to ask my mother to make me some turtle soup. I think I need some nourishment."

Hearing this, Huang Yimei couldn't help but shudder, and then glared at Lin Bufan fiercely: "Get out!"

Do you still need to replenish your vigorous and energetic energy? Will I be able to survive in the future?

Lin Bufan looked at the lingering charm and a subtle hint of "fear" in Huang Yimei's eyes, raised the corners of his mouth smugly, and started the car: "Shall we go to your house now?"

"What are you thinking about? I'm treating you to dinner! Why are you coming to my house at this hour? Do you want to watch my parents perform a duet for you?" Huang Yimei then fastened her seatbelt and said, "Drive, accompany me to meet someone."

"Understood! Which boss is so honorable that we, Rose, have to make an appointment in person?" Lin Bufan asked while turning the steering wheel.

"Ms. Jiang, my former boss. She was a few years older than me and very capable. Now she has left the original company and plans to open her own gallery. It was she who asked me to go swimming last time." Huang Yimei said this and glanced at Lin Bufan a little unnaturally.

However, Lin Bufan did not notice Huang Yimei's abnormality, because at this moment he was thinking about Mr. Jiang whom Huang Yimei mentioned!

A stunning career woman, she possesses both career ambition and emotional complexity. With wavy hair, a captivating figure, and captivating eyes, she's always ready for golden sentences. She's not only Huang Yimei's guiding light in her career, but also her profound influence on her life.

In the first half of her life, she found a husband who was twenty years older than her, but who could be of great help to her future development. Later, when she was successful in her career, she found another man who was much younger than her. It can be said that she got back everything she had lost!

Lin Bufan followed Huang Yimei's instructions and drove to the door of a stylish restaurant. As soon as he parked the car, he saw a figure waiting at the door through the car window.

A woman who looked to be in her thirties, a woman of immense charm. She wore a perfectly tailored champagne-colored suit and skirt suit, exuding both sophistication and femininity. Her thick, wavy hair cascaded carelessly over her shoulders, accentuating her fair skin. She wore a pair of light-colored sunglasses, but they couldn't hide her bright, piercing eyes, which shone with the clarity and wisdom of experience. She stood tall and straight, a faint, penetrating smile playing on her lips. She exuded a mature, confident, and deeply attractive aura.

Huang Yimei got out of the car first and greeted him with a smile: "Boss Jiang!"

The woman called Ms. Jiang turned around when she heard the voice and saw Huang Yime. The smile on her face deepened and became more friendly: "Rose, you are here." Her voice was gentle and magnetic.

At this time, Lin Bufan also parked the car and walked over. Huang Yimei naturally took Lin Bufan's arm and introduced them to each other: "Mr. Jiang, this is my boyfriend, Lin Bufan. Ah Fan, this is Mr. Jiang, whom I mentioned before. I respect him very much. He was also my former boss and he helped me a lot."

Lin Bufan immediately stepped forward, a perfectly composed smile plastered on his face, and offered his hand. "Mr. Jiang, I've long heard of you! I often hear Rose mention you, saying that you're not only her career leader, but also her life mentor. Today I finally get to meet you in person, and you're truly extraordinary!"

President Jiang elegantly extended her hand and gently shook Lin Bufan's, then released it, smiling and shaking her head. "Oh, Rose, that's flattering me. Besides, President Lin, please don't call me President Jiang anymore. I'm unemployed now, and I'm no longer a president." Her tone was relaxed, with a hint of self-deprecation, but it didn't diminish her charm at all. "My English name is Tina. If President Lin doesn't mind, you can call me Tina."

"Look at what you said. Someone like you would look like a CEO no matter where you are." Lin Bufan readily agreed with his advice and smiled brightly, "Okay, Tina, please don't call me President Lin. It's too distant. Just call me Afan, just like Rose. It sounds more intimate."

Huang Yimei saw that the two had almost finished their greetings and interrupted with a smile, "Alright, alright, stop being so polite to each other at the door. Let's go in first and talk while we eat."

"Okay, I'll listen to Rose." Tina smiled and nodded, then turned sideways to make an invitation gesture: "I've already reserved a seat, please come this way."

The three of them walked into the restaurant chatting and laughing.

Tina had booked an elegant private room. After sitting down and ordering, she gracefully picked up her teacup, her eyes flickering between Huang Yimei and Lin Bufan. With a playful smile, she said, "Rose, last time I asked you to go swimming, I asked you to bring Afan with you, but you refused and acted so secretive. Why are you willing to bring him out this time?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Bufan instantly grasped the key information - the last time he went to the women's swimming pool, it wasn't a "men only" women's swimming pool at all, it was simply because Huang Yimei didn't want to take him! He turned his head abruptly, looking at Huang Yimei beside him with a burning gaze, his eyes filled with shock and deep grievance after being deceived, like a large dog whose owner secretly threw away its favorite toy.

Huang Yimei felt the resentful gaze that was almost condensed into something, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly picked up her water cup and took a sip to hide her embarrassment. She avoided Lin Bufan's gaze and gave Tina a dry laugh. "Mr. Jiang, please stop teasing me... Last time... Last time, it was Afan who happened to be busy, right, Afan?" As she spoke, she reached under the table and gently grasped Lin Bufan's hand. Her fingertips tickled his palm with a hint of flattery, and she used her eyes to signal him to cooperate.

Lin Bufan let her scratch his palm, but he just pursed his lips, said nothing, and continued to stare at her stubbornly with eyes that were full of "you lied to me", "I'm sad", and "I need an explanation".

Lin Bufan's hand under the table was pinched gently, with a clear warning. Huang Yimei maintained a proper smile on her face, but she quietly stepped on Lin Bufan with her foot, and a threat flashed in her eyes: Cooperate!

Lin Bufan felt the pressure on his feet and the warning on his palms, and then he reluctantly withdrew his resentful gaze, turned to Tina, forced a slightly stiff smile, and agreed in a dry voice: "Ah... yes, Tina, last time... there was indeed something important, and I couldn't get away, what a pity." When he said "what a pity", his eyes drifted to Huang Yime, and it was clear that he was not sincere.

Tina was a powerful figure, and she saw the subtle, turbulent interactions and eye contact between them clearly and found it amusing. She smiled, not wanting to delve into the details, and changed the subject at the right moment: "I see. But, Afan, there's something I need to tell you about. Rose used to be my right-hand man, and I've always admired her. We agreed that when she returned to Kyoto, she'd open a gallery with me, but you stole Rose away. What do you think we should do about this?"

Lin Bufan naturally knew about this. This was one of the reasons why Lin Bufan was so anxious to get Rose to join the group. Otherwise, if Rose was abducted by Tina, it would be difficult to get Rose to join the group again!

"Tina, I need to explain this. I'm not running away, I'm providing Rose with a bigger stage! Think about it, with Rose's talent, it would be a waste of her talent to just run a gallery. She can play a greater role here with me..."

Huang Yimei gently kicked Lin Bufan under the table and interrupted with a smile: "Boss Jiang, don't listen to his nonsense. I feel that I need more experience. When there is a chance in the future, I will definitely cooperate with you."

President Jiang couldn't help laughing as she watched the two interact. "Alright, alright, I was just kidding. I'm so happy to see Rose find such a great home." She paused and said sincerely, "But seriously, Rose is very talented. Ah Fan, you have to treat her well, otherwise I, your former boss, will be the first to disagree."

Lin Bufan immediately expressed his opinion: "Of course! I promise to hold the rose in my palm and pamper her!"

The three of them smiled at each other, the atmosphere harmonious. As the meals arrived, they ate and chatted, discussing everything from the art market to business collaborations.

After spending some time together, Lin Bufan still had a good impression of Tina. Therefore, he felt a little embarrassed about having seduced someone who was his right-hand man. So, in the middle of the meal, while Huang Yimei was using the restroom, Lin Bufan made a decision that went against his ancestral principles: "Tina, I really appreciate your care and cultivation of Rose. So, let's exchange our contact information. If you need any help in the future, whether it's financial or other matters, please feel free to ask. Don't hesitate."

Tina had a detailed understanding of Lin Bufan's strength, so she naturally would not refuse Lin Bufan's kindness. She immediately wrote the contact information on the palm of Lin Bufan's hand with her fingers!

After dinner, Lin Bufan and Huang Yimei walked Tina to the door. Before leaving, Tina held Huang Yimei's hand and said, "Rose, remember to keep in touch. The gallery's door is always open to you."

Huang Yimei nodded with emotion: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang. I will visit you often."

Watching Tina's car drive away, Huang Yimei slapped Lin Bufan on the arm in annoyance: "Still looking? The taillights of the car and the person are gone!"

Seeing Huang Yimei walking towards the parking space angrily, Lin Bufan hurried to catch up!
