"Are people in Jincheng accustomed to eating dinner at four in the afternoon?"

Ha ha ha ha.

Tang Li laughed: "People from Jincheng shouldn't take the blame for this. I had plans to drink with my best friends tonight, but President Lu made a special trip to Jincheng, so I can't just leave without showing some appreciation, can I?"

In fact, Tang Li knew perfectly well what was going on.

Whether it's Huo Chenyu or Lu Zhixing.

They were all there to support her and keep things under control.

She appreciated the kindness shown to her.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when we finished eating.

Lu Zhixing had to catch a flight, and the two parted ways.

Tang Li originally wanted to go back to the Tang residence, but it happened to be rush hour, and she was afraid of getting stuck in traffic, so she had to meet up with Zhao Wenxun first.

This guy likes to hang out in quiet bars, the kind of places where a folk singer can hum a tune and break your heart.

The bar was booked out tonight, making it much noisier than usual.

Having lived in seclusion for three years, Tang Li hadn't been to such a lively place in a long time.

Once inside, the most dazzling woman in the crowd was, besides Tang Sui, the most important woman to Tang Li.

Zhao Wenxun spotted Tang Li at a glance.

She walked through the crowd to Tang Li's side, pinched Tang Li's little cheek, and said:

"Little one, you've lost weight again."

Everyone who sees her says she's lost weight.

Tang Li nodded: "That's right, there's no Sichuan pepper in Tanzhou, so it's not good for people. That's why I came back to Jincheng."

Zhao Wenxun put his arm around her slender waist:

"Sister, welcome back. Come on, come on! I've discovered a new goal for my future career here tonight. Let me show you."

What new goals?

"Could it be your backup plan number 100?"

Zhao Wenxun laughed heartily:

"Wrong. If he's going to be a backup option, he'd have to be number 101 in line."

The new boyfriend she just got is the ultimate backup option.

Weaving through the crowded streets, Zhao Wenxun led Tang Li to a booth and pointed to a man sitting alone drinking.

"Sister, that's my new goal."

Before Tang Li could even react, Zhao Wenxun had already slid down to her side and wrapped his arms around her neck.

Their lips were practically touching.

In the dim light of the bar, Tang Li looked down and found himself face to face with Huo Chenyu.
