Wen Shengsheng was stunned by the scolding.

After leaving the office, I went straight to the restroom.

Since she started working on the 28th floor, she has been wearing a suit to work and pays great attention to her appearance.

It wasn't until she looked in the mirror and saw the string of bright red hickeys on her neck that her face flushed red.

This was left by Xi Yu last night!

She was so preoccupied with being upset that morning that she didn't even see it.

Just a couple of days ago, I was telling Gong Xiaochen in a righteous and serious tone how much I valued this job, like a model worker.

Today, I showed up with all of these things on my head.

This is truly... utterly shameful!

Wen Shengsheng was busy until evening before dragging her tired body home.

I had just finished showering when Li Chuan sent me a message.

She cried and wailed as she poured out her grievances to Wen Shengsheng.

He couldn't get a date with Ruth today. Ruth went out in the evening and was on a date with a mysterious man. They looked very intimate.

As Li Chuan spoke, he sent over the photos.

It was a rather blurry photo, probably taken in a high-end club, where a figure hidden in the shadows was drinking under the dim blue lighting.

Judging from Ruth's action, she must have been very close, almost like she was sitting in his lap.

Wen Shengsheng stared at the man's shirt for a while and came to a conclusion.

This person is Gong Xiaochen.

She had seen him at the company during the day.

I guess he went straight to a bar after work.

She immediately informed Li Chuan of her discovery and offered him comfort.

That day on the cruise ship, Gong Xiaochen didn't show much interest in Rose, so everything should be fine.

Hearing this answer, Li Chuan was even more devastated.

That means Ruth is interested in Gong Xiaochen, otherwise she wouldn't have posted it on her WeChat Moments.

If Ruth liked someone else, he could still try to compete, but with Gong Xiaochen, there was absolutely no chance.

Moreover, this post on his WeChat Moments was made half an hour ago, and he can no longer contact Ruth at this point, so he doesn't know what the two of them are doing.

Wen Shengsheng glanced at her watch.

It's ten o'clock.

That's about all the things we can do.

She was afraid that Li Chuan would find it too difficult and would have to give up on Ruth and return to his family.

She sighed and began to think of solutions for him.

Finally, I made a bold decision: since I couldn't get in touch with anyone, I might as well go to the scene and see for myself, just as a way to have a drink!

With Wen Shengsheng by his side, Li Chuan suddenly gained courage.

Wen Shengsheng quickly finished her makeup, changed into a black silk strapless dress that completely exposed her fair shoulders, and paired it with a touch of red lipstick, making her look more like a mature woman.

Elegant and sexy.

Half an hour later, Li Chuan's red Ferrari arrived at Jiuru Mansion on time.

Wen Shengsheng got into the car, and the two headed straight for their destination, Meili.

Rosewood is a high-end, quiet bar, the place Ruth posted on her WeChat Moments. It's a place where the rich second-generation kids from Beijing's elite circle often gather.

Wen Shengsheng rarely goes to bars, so she was pleasantly surprised the moment she entered Rosewood.

This is a quiet bar that exudes style and quality. The wooden tables and chairs have a faint, rustic feel with clear grain. Several artworks of different styles hang on the walls, as if quietly telling the subtle relationship between time and art.

Li Chuan contacted He Yu first and found out the location of the private room.

When the two stepped into the private room, the people inside were silent for a moment, and then He Yu and the others immediately came to greet them.

"Young Master Li, you're so late today. We were almost done."

"Something came up, so I'm late."

They pulled Li Chuan to sit on the sofa.

"Sheng Sheng is here too." The moment he saw Wen Sheng Sheng, a look of amazement flashed in Lu Jie's eyes. He took the opportunity to come up and give Wen Sheng Sheng a light hug.

Wen Shengsheng got goosebumps all over her body and quickly dodged away, walking briskly towards Li Chuan.

Unfortunately, Li Chuan was pushed to the inside, and she could only get over the people in the middle little by little.

"Why are you walking so fast? Young Master Li isn't going to run away." Lu Jie followed.

Upon hearing his voice, Wen Shengsheng immediately quickened her pace.

The distance between the sofa and the table was enough for a person to pass through, but when she got close to Li Chuan, a pair of long legs brazenly blocked the way.

Wen Shengsheng wanted to get across, so she had to lift her leg and step over it.

But she's wearing a skirt tonight, and if she lifts her leg, it could easily expose her.

He looked up at the owner of those long legs and met Gong Xiaochen's dark and deep eyes.

He leaned back on the sofa with a relaxed posture, Ruth sitting to his left and the young lady in blue to his right, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking like an old man.

"Young Master Gong, could you please move aside?" Wen Shengsheng said softly.

Gong Xiaochen remained silent.

The uniquely designed chandelier on the ceiling cast dappled light and shadow on his cold and handsome face, making him look somewhat dreamlike.

However, those sharp eyes were too striking, and at that moment they were looking at Wen Shengsheng with indifference and provocation.

He looked like he was going to make things difficult for her.

Wen Shengsheng was immediately embarrassed.

Seeing this, Ruth stepped forward to help, "Young Master Gong, don't look so fierce, you'll scare Young Master Li's little girlfriend."

But these words clearly had no effect; Gong Xiaochen seemed not to hear them.

Just then, Lu Jie caught up from behind. He was about to reach out and touch Wen Shengsheng when he suddenly tripped.

Wen Shengsheng felt herself being pushed hard.

Before she could even call out, she rushed straight into Gong Xiaochen's arms, her face slamming heavily into his chest.

A muffled thud came from above.

The sounds of drinking inside the private room also ceased.

Everyone turned to look at them.

Wen Shengsheng was extremely embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Gong Xiaochen even once. She struggled to stand up.

She was wearing high heels today, so she was unsteady when she stood up. She instinctively used her hand to brace herself, and it landed right on Gong Xiaochen's chest.

Beneath her palm was the pounding of his heart, and Wen Shengsheng blushed instantly.

"You fell so naturally." Gong Xiaochen looked up at her, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Was it nice to touch?"

"I'm sorry." Finally standing up straight, Wen Shengsheng felt her entire face burning hot.

Fortunately, Li Chuan arrived at that moment.

"Sheng Sheng, are you alright?" He reached out his hand with concern.

Wen Shengsheng glanced at Li Chuan with lingering fear, then placed her wrist in his hand and was pulled onto the sofa by him.

He didn't dare to look at Gong Xiaochen even once from beginning to end!

Lu Jie was helped up by everyone, and they all laughed at him for falling flat on his face.

His chin had just hit the table, and it was still throbbing with pain.

"Who is this? So inconsiderate, tripping me up."

Lu Jie muttered something while rubbing his chin, then stepped forward and sat down next to Wen Shengsheng.

He picked up the wine glass on the table and handed it to Wen Shengsheng with great enthusiasm.

"Come on, Sheng Sheng, have a drink."
