"Tell me quickly, how did you and your partner get together so quickly? I heard you only started living together two weeks ago."

"...Indeed, it was half a month ago."

Long Tianming felt he was in a bind; why should he lie for the sake of saving face?

He regrets it terribly now, but since the lie has already been told, he can only cover it up with one lie after another.

If I were to tell Xie Fei now that what I just said was all a joke...

Xie Fei will probably laugh at him for a year!

No, given the other person's reserved yet sharp-tongued personality, they might laugh for ten years!

No! For a lifetime!

The thought of that situation made Long Tianming tremble.

This lie can only be continued!

"Then tell me, what's your girlfriend's name? When are you going to bring her to meet us brothers?"

Long Tianming was taken aback; he really didn't know Tan Yao's name.

The two haven't had much communication in the past two weeks, and when they do speak, they address each other using "you" and "I".

Just as Long Tianming was wondering whether he should just make up a name, a voice suddenly rang out.

"My name is Tan Yao!"

Tan Yao was afraid that Long Tianming would make up a name out of foolishness, so he simply stood up and leaned against the partition.

She smiled brightly at Xie Fei, who was facing her directly.

Doesn't Tan Yao laugh?

Of course not!

On the contrary, she has a good laugh.

When she first took over the Tan family business, everyone thought she was too young and not capable enough.

When negotiating projects outside, the partners would make things difficult for her.

Was she going to turn sour then?

No! You should laugh, you should laugh brightly!

A smile is sometimes the best defense and attack.

Seeing your attitude, the other party probably wouldn't even have the nerve to make things difficult for you.

However, very few people care about saving face, since most people will continue to make things difficult for you no matter whether you laugh or cry.

But later she gained a firm foothold and let everyone see her strength.

And it was only after developing the Tan family business step by step that she stopped liking to smile.

Over time, it turned into an ice-cold face.

Even when facing his only daughter, he couldn't bring himself to smile.

However, at this moment, in order to leave a good impression on Xie Fei.

Tan Yao has been trying to develop more facial expressions lately.

It is important to ensure that facial expressions do not hinder one's emotional state during emotional changes.

Even just now, she chose to use a mirror to adjust her facial expression before standing up and smiling at Xie Fei.

Xie Fei looked over and was immediately struck by Tan Yao's smile.

Upon closer inspection, one sees a beautiful, small face.

This face certainly attracted his attention.

But what stands out most are those eyes that are so bright they seem to hold a galaxy within them.

Xie Fei rubbed his fingers together, a meaningful smile on his face.

His gaze remained fixed on Tan Yao, never wavering.

That gaze seemed excessively intense.

At this time, Long Tianming did not notice that Xie Fei was acting strangely.

Tan Yao selectively ignored the other person's gaze.

When Long Tianming turned around and saw Tan Yao, his face turned ashen.

What... what should we do?

He was caught lying!

This was the first time Long Tianming had encountered such an awkward situation.

You should know that he was previously complaining that Tan Yao was approaching him with ulterior motives.

But in the blink of an eye, he was bragging that Tan Yao was his girlfriend.

Just thinking about it makes him feel ashamed!

Long Tianming never expected to encounter this situation.

Tan Yao grinned at Long Tianming, "Tianming, you left too fast. I'm only just getting here now."

As they were talking, Tan Yao left his cubicle.

Then he plopped down next to Long Tianming.

They even squeezed him in a little harder.

She also goes to the gym in her spare time.

He looks thin, but he's all lean muscle.

Most men, even four or five of them, wouldn't be a match for her.

"You must be the Brother Xie that Long Tianming mentioned. Hello, Brother Xie. I'm Tan Yao, Tianming's girlfriend."

"It's nice to meet you. I hope I can sit here without bothering you?"

"Of course not."

Upon closer inspection, Tan Yao realized that Xie Fei's appearance was somewhat inferior to Long Tianming's.

However, her overall demeanor was more comfortable.

Because the store had its heating on, he took off his overcoat after entering.

The white cufflinks and the neat, clean pinstripe shirt revealed his meticulous style.

Moreover, the slightly tight shirt perfectly accentuated his physique.

A beautiful sterling silver cross around her neck gave her an air of mystery.

On my wrist is an exquisite CK minimalist all-steel watch.

His distinguished family background and refined taste are on full display.

Compared to the Tan family, Xie Fei's background is far more illustrious.

"You two, your meal..."

The waiter who came to serve the food was the same one who had just been tricked by Tan Yao.

She was somewhat bewildered when she saw Tan Yao sitting next to Long Tianming.

Was it not actually a trick just now?

The waiter placed the food ordered by Long Tianming and Xie Fei down, then hesitated before asking, "Are you all together?"

Tan Yao turned her head and winked at her, looking quite playful.

"I arrived after you two. Miss, please bring my food quickly."

"Oh? Okay."

The waiter, his face slightly flushed, turned and left.
