Chapter 640 clearly indicates a well-prepared approach.

Qiao Xing was sitting directly opposite the entrance; she was the first guest she saw.

He was a very tall man, almost as tall as Qin Ce. He was wearing a neatly pressed black suit, and his features were regular. Judging from his appearance, he was gentle and refined, and his personality should be easy to get along with.

He was holding a bouquet of flowers, and his eyes were searching around as soon as he entered the room.

Qiao Xing focused all her attention on him because the moment she saw him, he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

As she was thinking back, the man suddenly waved in Bai Yi's direction.

Upon seeing the man, Bai Yi immediately smiled and quickly walked towards him, saying, "Attorney Zhou, you've arrived."

Bai Yi's voice wasn't loud, but Wang Ye heard it clearly. When he turned around and saw the man, his expression immediately changed.

Bai Yi didn't notice Wang Ye. The man she called Lawyer Zhou handed Bai Yi the book in his hand, saying, "Grand opening, may your business prosper."

Bai Yi smiled and accepted it, "Thank you, Attorney Zhou."

Qiao Xing finally remembered where she had seen this man before.

Isn't this the guy who had dinner with Bai Yi last time?

Wang Ye stared at the man as if trying to see right through him, then turned his head and was startled by Qiao Xing, who had appeared beside him at some unknown time.

"What are you doing! You sneaked around and startled me."

Qiao Xing looked at the two people over there and asked in a low voice, "Why is he here? Did you call him?"

Wang Ye's eyes widened. "Am I crazy? Why would I call him?"

"That must be Bai Yi who called him. He's dressed so formally; he must have come prepared."

Wang Ye took a breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Cousin, are you doing this on purpose?!"

Qiao Xing smiled, looking like she was watching a melon. "I didn't. Your expression is too resentful. You are Bai Yi's husband, so why are you afraid of him? He came to congratulate you, so just walk over gracefully. What's the point of just watching from here?"

Qiao Xing's words were deliberately meant to provoke Wang Ye, because only when Wang Ye felt threatened would he take action.

Wang Ye thought to himself, "Yes, he is Bai Yi's husband after all. Why should he compare himself to that man? Putting aside what his relationship with Bai Yi is, even if he likes Bai Yi, so what? He's still here. He can't lose face in front of outsiders."

Thinking this way, Wang Ye suddenly felt more confident. He simply put down his work and walked over there.

As Bai Yi and Attorney Zhou were talking, Wang Ye walked over and asked Bai Yi with a smile, "Xiao Yi, is this your friend? Won't you introduce him?"

Bai Yi frowned and glanced at Wang Ye when she heard him address her.

This is the first time I've ever heard Wang Ye call me that since I've known him for so long.

Bai Yi felt something was off, but she maintained her composure and said to Wang Ye, "This is the lawyer friend I often tell you about, Zhou Yi. Lawyer Zhou is also our company's legal advisor and has helped me a lot."

Zhou Yi smiled modestly, "No, it's all because President Xiao is being too kind to me."

After introducing Zhou Yi, Bai Yi turned to look at Wang Ye, but when she was about to introduce him, the words that were about to come out of her mouth involuntarily got stuck.

Aside from the friends she knew, this was the first time she had introduced Wang Ye to outsiders.

For a moment, she didn't know how to start the conversation.

Faced with Bai Yi's hesitation, Wang Ye felt a sudden sense of displeasure.

What does this mean?

Does she not want to admit that he is her husband? Or does she not want to admit that she is already married?

Bai Yi could clearly sense Wang Ye's displeasure, and to avoid embarrassment, she could only force herself to say those words.

"This is my husband, Wang Ye."

Zhou Yi politely extended his hand, "Hello."

Looking at the man's refined yet depraved appearance, Wang Ye was extremely reluctant to shake hands with him.

But Bai Yi's introduction to him just now made him feel a little better.

He reluctantly extended his hand and shook hands with Zhou Yi, saying, "Hello."

His expression was strained, so strained that even Bai Yi could tell.

But she kept smiling and said to Zhou Yi, "The ribbon-cutting ceremony is about to begin. I'll need your help later. Please go and sit down, don't stand."

Zhou Yi nodded. "Okay."

After Zhou Yi sat down, Bai Yi said to Wang Ye, "Come with me."

Wang Ye knew Bai Yi was angry, but he just snorted and didn't take it to heart at all.

He wasn't even angry yet, so why was Bai Yi angry?

"What are you doing? They're guests, why are you giving them such a hard time?"

Wang Ye shrugged. "My expression was fine, I even shook hands with him, so why did he give me a hard time?"

Bai Yi was a little angry. "Do you think I can't see it? I already said he's my friend, so why are you inexplicably hostile towards him?"

Wang Ye didn't really want to make it too obvious, but whenever he thought about how Zhou Yi and Bai Yi were closer than he was, Wang Ye felt a deep dislike for Zhou Yi.

In fact, he himself did not understand where this hostility came from.

However, since Bai Yi had already said it, Wang Ye didn't want the two of them to beat around the bush.

He asked Bai Yi directly, "Are you sure he really considers you a friend? We're both men, I know what the other is thinking better than you do. Do you really think your relationship is as simple as you think?"

Bai Yi looked at him incredulously, "What nonsense are you talking about? Since he's here, he's a guest. I just hope you can be kinder to him. Even if it wasn't him today, but someone else, I would have said the same thing."

Wang Ye scoffed, "Are you sure?"

Bai Yi frowned; she understood Wang Ye less and less.

She used to think that although this man seemed unreliable, when he took care of Linlin, he made people feel at ease and had a sense of security.

But gradually, she felt that Wang Ye was like an immature child, with extremely naive thoughts and actions.

Bai Yi took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Wang Ye, there are a lot of people here today. I don't want to argue with you. I don't care how you view my relationship with him. I've said it before, he's just my friend, it's that simple. How he sees me is his business. Even if he really likes me, it's not something I can control."

"But since they've come to support us, we have an obligation to make sure they have a comfortable meal and leave here. How old are you? Do you need me to teach you social etiquette?"

Wang Ye kept a straight face and remained silent.

He understands all the big principles.

But he couldn't control his feelings; a man's possessiveness is innate, especially in a relationship like his with Bai Yi.

They already lack confidence, so if competitors appear around them, they will definitely feel uneasy.

For a fleeting moment, Wang Ye almost blurted out all the words that had been building up in his heart.
