After Ni Sitian noticed where his gaze was directed, she blushed and muttered a curse under her breath.

But then a smile crept onto her lips. Looking at her was always better than looking at other women, so she decided to forgive him this time.

But his brows seemed to be slightly furrowed. Could it be because after seeing Lin Yi'an, he felt that her chest was small?

"President Xu?" Lin Yi'an finally mustered up the courage to look up, only to find that despite her attire and the length of her conversation, Xu Tingchuan hadn't even glanced at her.

His gaze was fixed on Ni Sitian, and it was so intense, unlike his usual cold demeanor.

"Secretary Lin is talking to you," Ni Sitian said shyly, gently reminding him.

Xu Tingchuan then withdrew his gaze and turned it indifferently to Lin Yi'an's face.

When Lin Yi'an saw his gaze coming towards her, she deliberately pretended to casually lift her long hair, revealing her full breasts a little more.

Ni Sitian frowned, worried that Xu Tingchuan would see it, and observed Xu Tingchuan's reaction.

Xu Tingchuan's gaze remained fixed, cold and clear, lacking any of the heat he usually showed when looking at her. Ni Sitian was slightly satisfied and relaxed her brow.

"Okay, I understand," Xu Tingchuan replied in a clear, cold voice.

Lin Yi'an's face was somewhat ashen. She had already gone to such lengths, yet she still couldn't attract his attention? Could it be because Ni Sitian was present that he was too embarrassed to look at her?

"Is there anything else?" Xu Tingchuan frowned slightly. He really disliked the somewhat pungent fragrance on Lin Yi'an.

Lin Yi'an was confirming her own thoughts, feeling that he must be doing this because he was considering Ni Sitian's feelings. She thought that as long as Ni Sitian wasn't around, she would unfortunately be no match for Ni Sitian, a young girl, with her feminine charm.

Seeing that she seemed not to be listening to him and was lost in thought, Xu Tingchuan said, "Leave the rest of the work to Assistant Yu."

He didn't want to see her hanging around in front of him. If it weren't for Secretary Xue's pregnancy and the fact that she shouldn't be on the ship for the banquet, these tasks should have been done by Secretary Xue. Women are usually more meticulous about these kinds of trivial matters, but Lin Yi'an's behavior tonight gave him a very uncomfortable feeling, so he felt it was better to let Assistant Yu take over.

"Yes." Lin Yi'an came back to her senses, lowered her face, and retreated somewhat unwillingly.

Ni Sitian looked at Xu Tingchuan and said casually, "Secretary Lin looks really sexy today. It seems like most of the men are staring at her."

Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "That's because they don't dare to look at you."

With him by her side, no one would dare look at her with the same eyes they used to look at Secretary Lin. If they did, they were asking for trouble.

Ni Sitian was pleased by his words. Was he indirectly praising her as prettier than Secretary Lin?

"I'm starting to regret it," Xu Tingchuan suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Ni Sitian took two glasses of champagne from a passing waiter and handed one to Xu Tingchuan.

Xu Tingchuan accepted the champagne, his gaze then falling on Ni Sitian's chest.

"What are you looking at!" Ni Sitian scolded shyly. They were in public, why was he staring at that spot? If the staff saw this, who knows what they would think!

"It's too low," Xu Tingchuan said with a frown, dissatisfied. He had been observing Ni Sitian's chest and felt that it was a real loss that someone else could see that one centimeter that was exposed.
