She took a deep breath, walked to Gu Yuan's side, and took his hand. She forced a smile, preparing to greet the secretary who had been monitoring them outside the hotel for the past two days.
The secretary remained respectful upon seeing them, opened the car door, and gestured for them to enter. She then sat in the front seat, her voice coming from the right front seat: "Mr. Tang, I was worried you wouldn't be able to get up so early today after drinking so much yesterday, but you've kept your promise as always."
Gu Yuan maintained his polite smile, his aura no less imposing than his.
Arriving at Tang Qiang's reception room again, Gu Yuanqi was already waiting inside. Seeing Gu Yuanqi standing before him with an air of superiority, Tang Qiang's eyes were full of admiration. Gu Yuanqi glanced at Fu Hange, then smiled and looked away.
Tang Qiang turned on the computer, and the two of them started talking about those boring business matters again. Fu Hange then looked at the London Eye across the street, which hadn't started turning yet; it was said to open at 7 p.m.
She had been thinking about this ever since she came to Tang Qiang's place yesterday. It's a pity that she's grown up so much but has never actually ridden one. Now that the Ferris wheel is right in front of her, she has no chance to go. A sense of loss immediately spread throughout her body.
Tang Qiang and Gu Yuan chatted on and on, it was unclear what important deal required them to talk for so long. Fu Hange really wanted to just fall asleep, but remembering yesterday's joke, she didn't dare to sleep, so she forced herself to stay awake and listen to their endless chatter.
She didn't know how long they had been chatting. Fu Hange's eyes felt dry from staring straight ahead for so long. She looked at her watch and saw that it was already 12:30. Gu Yuan and Tang Qiang were still chatting happily.
Finally, Tang Qiang noticed Fu Hange's impatience and put away the computer on the table, saying, "It's getting late, Mr. Gu, don't let Miss Xu go hungry."
Fu Hange stared blankly at Tang Qiang, who had already left the reception room. Recalling his meaningful look earlier, she wondered if he believed her and Gu Yuan now.
Gu Yuan straightened his clothes and stood up, his face calm. Fu Hange followed silently behind. After leaving Tang Qiang's territory, Fu Hange was puzzled by Tang Qiang's two meetings with them and asked Gu Yuan, "What did you mean? Why did Tang Qiang talk to you for so long?"
Gu Yuan, with a sour face, refused to acknowledge her. Fu Hange knew he was still angry about yesterday's incident. Fortunately, Tang Qiang didn't hold a grudge against Gu Yuan for her recklessness; otherwise, he would have definitely beaten her up for ruining his deal.
She and Gu Yuan walked side by side through the streets of London, still without lunch. As they approached the London Eye, Fu Hange felt a little dazed. From the moment she first saw it, she had wanted to go up and sit on it, and now that she was closer, it still seemed out of reach.
Gu Yuan, who was standing next to him, spoke up at some point, his voice icy: "Tang Qiang only met with us today to see if we are really a couple. He will give us an answer on the last day."
Fu Hange was a little taken aback, staring blankly at Gu Yuan. She wondered why they needed to talk for so long; it turned out it was just a test. However, Fu Hange felt that both Gu Yuan and Tang Qiang were hiding their true intentions very well; one was testing them, and the other was trying to guess Tang Qiang's thoughts.
Gu Yuan had already walked away, while Fu Hange remained where she was. Perhaps that was it; in the end, Gu Yuan had won. She had once said she wanted to defeat Gu Yuan, but now she couldn't even guess the slightest thought of others in the business world—how could she possibly defeat Gu Yuan? And...
