Ye Wenyu felt dizzy and disoriented; the world seemed to spin around her. She felt like a little white rabbit abandoned by the wolves in the clutches of fate. Just then, she heard the manager call out, "Little Ye—"

Ye Wenyu felt as if she were hearing Buddhist chants and immediately turned her head. She saw the manager running over with a smile on his face, looking like a madam. He waved enthusiastically and said to her almost obsequiously, "Quickly, go to Mr. Lin's table. I'll ask Xiao Li to switch with you."

Ye Wenyu felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She immediately stood up and staggered away. A hostess reluctantly walked over and brushed past her.

She stumbled over to Lin Tingfeng's table, taking three steps at a time, only to find that he still wasn't looking at her; he was on the phone. Ye Wenyu looked at the table; there were two empty seats, one to Lin Tingfeng's left and one opposite him, quite a distance away.

She instinctively wanted to sit to the left of Lin Tingfeng and be under his protection, but thinking that he was the president of the Lin Group and that his seat was the seat of honor, the seat next to him must be for important people, how could it be a place for a hostess like her? Therefore, Ye Wenyu wisely lifted her foot and walked to the seat further away.

At this moment, Lin Tingfeng said slowly and gently, "Please sit wherever you like, don't be shy."

The other guests immediately chimed in obsequiously, "Yes, yes, beautiful lady, please don't be shy, make yourself at home."

She naturally understood his meaning: "sit wherever you like" meant sitting to his left or right. Therefore, she gratefully thanked him and, like a meek lamb, obediently sat down to his left. Having escaped the miserable fate of being forced to drink by a man, her heart was filled with deep gratitude towards Lin Tingfeng.

Lin Tingfeng still didn't look at her, and slowly said to the others at the table, "I have to drive back later, so I won't drink. Everyone, just eat whatever you like."

The other businessmen treated Lin Tingfeng's words as a royal decree and immediately echoed, "Okay, no drinking, no driving after drinking."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyu's tense nerves finally relaxed completely. She breathed a huge sigh of relief and glanced gratefully at Lin Tingfeng's profile again. He still didn't look at her and quietly ate his meal, his elegant posture making even eating look particularly beautiful.

Men don't drink, so they eat very quickly. In less than half an hour, everyone at the table had finished eating and left.

Ye Wenyu remained seated without moving. As a hostess, she knew her place and was determined to be the last to leave.

Lin Tingfeng got up and left. Ye Wenyu finally relaxed after all the guests had left. She slumped in her chair, gently rubbing her swollen and sore feet from standing all day, when she heard Lin Tingfeng say, "Aren't you going back to school?"

Ye Wenyu was so startled that she stood up and turned to look at him.

He stood less than three meters away from her, looking at her with a gaze as hazy as misty rain; she couldn't fathom his thoughts.

When did he recognize her? It turns out, he hadn't forgotten her! It turned out that inviting her to his table was his idea, that he was taking care of her—

Ye Wenyu was both shocked and moved.
