Hong Kong is in full swing

"Ah..." The two were stunned for a moment, and Shangguan Lan laughed at them, "You really believe it."

Her eyes revealed disdain and questioning.

Yu Wan smiled.

Faced with everyone's doubts, she could only choose to resolve the embarrassment in this way.

Meng Xiuping realized, "Wei Size, good job."

There was a hint of approval in her words.

Wei Size also started laughing.

There was a subtle hint of pride in his smile.

The atmosphere gradually warmed up, and Yu Wan said, "Actually, my stomach is fine, but I did have surgery before, so I have to avoid alcohol now. I'll drink tea instead. I wish Mr. Duan a prosperous business."

Her words eased the situation and made people feel much more relaxed.

Duan Fei raised his glass and clinked it with hers.

Although he still had doubts in his heart, he did not show them.

After the pleasantries, the group began to chat about all sorts of things.

Duan Fei made a lot of money these days and looked very energetic. Wei Size sat on the sofa, drinking the wine in the glass slowly. Occasionally he heard some interesting laughter, but he didn't participate much in the conversation.

Meng Xiuping glanced at Wei Size a few times and didn't say much.

There were complex emotions in her eyes, including concern and a hint of disappointment.

The initially warm atmosphere quickly dissipated, and an inexplicable awkwardness quietly spread, which was particularly striking between these two childhood playmates.

Shangguan Lan asked, "Is this what you two are planning to do?"

Her questions were direct and unsparing.

“In fact, we have always had a good relationship.”

This was Wei Size's attempt to explain, but it seemed a little powerless.

Shangguan Lan glanced at the two of them, obviously not believing what they said.

There was a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

In order to avoid this topic, Duan Fei made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

He didn't want to make the situation more awkward.

Lin Congjue continued, "Everyone can see that there's something wrong between you two, but you just won't admit it."

His words were direct and sharp, making them impossible to avoid.

"It would be great if Shen Ying was here, she would definitely be able to help you two out of this situation."

After saying this, he sighed and looked very regretful.

"Sister Shen Ying is busy."

Shangguan Lan rolled her eyes at him and said, "This time she's out on business with the Huo family on behalf of the Chu family."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.

Meng Xiuping quickly changed the subject and said, "Yes, I heard that the Chu family is interested in marrying into the Huo family."

She cleverly diverted attention.

Lin Congjue drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and remained silent.

He was obviously thinking about something, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Yu Wan got up and left to find the bathroom.

After passing several tables, she met Duan Fei who was smoking at the bathroom door.

After nodding slightly, Yu Wan went in and washed her face.

The cold water washed over her cheeks, calming her down a little.

When she came out, she found Duan Fei still waiting for her outside the door.

His eyes never left her, as if he had something to say.

Seeing Yu Wan coming out, he moved and called out, "Manager Yu."

"Mr. Duan, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Yu Wan stopped and turned to look at him.

"Manager Yu is extremely smart."

Duan Fei put out his cigarette and walked forward with a smile, "Actually, I've wanted to ask you for a long time, but I never found the right opportunity to ask."

His words were full of compliments.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

Yu Wan's attitude remained calm.

Duan Fei looked at her and asked curiously, "What is the relationship between Manager Yu and Teacher Mei? I'm really curious."

His question seemed a little impatient.

Yu Wan smiled and said, "Didn't Mr. Duan's teacher Mei tell you?"

Her answer was cryptic and provocative.

Duan Fei smiled.

His smile was somewhat meaningful.

Yu Wan also laughed.

There was an indescribable feeling in her smile, perhaps relief, perhaps teasing.

After a while, he took out a cigarette from his pocket again, lit it skillfully in front of her, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and invited: "Manager Yu, do you want to work with me?"

The words were spoken softly, but seemed to carry some unspeakable hint.

"How does Mr. Duan want to cooperate?"

Yu Wan asked with her eyes narrowed slightly.

Duan Fei's eyes seemed to become even deeper, and he replied, "There is only one Lan Guifang in this world."

Every word reveals determination and persistence.

Yu Wan nodded and responded, "That's right, there is only one Lan Guifang in this world."

There was a subtle emotion in her voice, making it hard to guess what she was thinking.

After hearing this, Duan Fei gently extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand that had just been lit with his fingertips.

The action was done so naturally that it was difficult for onlookers to catch the brief change on his face - was it disappointment or something else?

"Does Manager Yu think I'm unworthy of being your partner?"

Duan Fei's gaze was fixed on the other person's eyes, trying to find some clues from them.

The questioning tone was already very obvious.

"That's not what I meant."

Yu Wan quickly explained, trying to appear gentle, "I'm just a bit cautious, especially when it comes to work."

Duan Fei didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he said, "You just need to be behind me. If there is a suitable opportunity, you must seize it, Manager Yu."

After saying these words, he deliberately looked away, seemingly inadvertently giving Yu Wan a hint with his eyes.

But how could someone as smart as Yu Wan not understand the deep meaning contained therein?

So she raised her head, quickly glanced around, and softly called out her name: "Xiuping."

Duan Fei immediately became alert and turned his head to look around, but he did not see Meng Xiuping at all.

This made him frown involuntarily. When he turned around, he found that Yu Wan, who was originally standing very close to him, had quietly moved away some distance.

"Mr. Duan, I actually told you when we first met that I'm a naturally timid person, both in life and at work."

Yu Wan stated calmly.

After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.

Duan Fei, who stayed where he was, silently watched her figure disappear into the night, then slowly loosened his clenched fists and slowly exhaled the last puff of smoke from his mouth.

Yu Wan had just returned to her seat when Wei Size noticed something was wrong. "Did you smoke just now?"

"How is that possible? I just stood at the bathroom door for a little longer, and ended up getting smoked by a group of big guys who were smoking vigorously."

Yu Wan said half jokingly and half seriously.

"I'm really impressed by you."

Hearing this, Wei Size shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Yu Wan couldn't help laughing when she heard that, and then pretended to pick up the water cup on the table and drink water to cover up the smile on the corner of her mouth.
